    Earlier this month the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan appointed Amy Lamé as a figurehead in supporting London’s 24-hour economy. However, she has come under pressure to put her politics to one side after a number of offensive Tweets to numerous Tory politicians were unearthed.

    Leaders of Conservative-run boroughs in London are calling on Amy Lamé to show bipartisanship after she described Conservative MSP Ruth Davidson as ” Tory scum” during the Stonewall Awards, and called former Chancellor, George Osbourne a “c**t”.

    In a Tweet sent in 2015, Amy said,

    “I could say that @George_Osborne is a c***. but he has neither the warmth not the depth. #tampontax”

    In a letter to Amy, leaders of six boroughs, Westminster, Wandsworth, Bexley, Kensington & Chelsea, Hillingdon and Kingston councils, which are all Conservative-led, pointed out that the new Night Czar had made her political leanings “very clear”.

    They wrote:

    “We are therefore writing to seek reassurance that you will approach your important new role in a bipartisan way and work constructively with Conservative councils.

    “We ask that you put your political bias to one side and set out how you will work with all councils to promote and protect Greater London’s night time economy.”

    According to the Evening Standard, a City Hall spokesman said,

    “We are confident that Amy will have an excellent relationship with councillors from all political parties.”

  • Can’t get a date? 50 biggest turn offs revealed

    Can’t get a date? 50 biggest turn offs revealed

    Are you finding it hard to get a date? Perhaps it’s time to invest in some soap and a new deodorant.

    Talking about ex-partners, being rude to waiting staff and having dirty fingernails are among the biggest turn-offs on a first date, a study has revealed.

    Wearing ‘bad shoes’ and talking about yourself in the third person also appeared in the top 50 lists of no-nos.

    The poll of 2,000 single people by e-cigarette pioneers blu revealed bad body odour as the top turn-off.

    Almost three-quarters of adults said it would be their main reason to avoid a follow-up date.

    Second place went to bad tempers, followed by lying, acting selfishly and having bad breath.

    The study also found that people would prefer to date someone who vaped, over one who smoked.

    Some people – clearly still haunted by their experiences – logged very specific complaints, including one encounter in which a man went on at great length about his hobby of collecting PARROT shaped ornaments.

    Fifty-three per cent said they form an opinion on someone in 15 minutes or less, and over half would ditch someone who seemed otherwise perfect but had one glaring flaw.

    The poll also showed wholesome traits were still valued as the most important qualities in a date, favouring a sense of humour and good hygiene over wealth and fashion sense, with non-smoking also a key consideration in a partner.

    Jon Solimando, Brand Director at blu, said,

    “Between the multitude of online apps, not to mention traditional ways like meeting in a bar or club, Brits now have more options than ever before to help them line up a first date.

    “As an alternative to ‘turning off’ potential dates through smoking, as this research has shown, adult smokers can now get six weeks’ worth of blu products for less than the price of a pack of cigarettes upon signing up at love.blu.com.”

    The study was carried out as part of blu’s new ‘Six Weeks to Fall in Love’ offer.

    THE TOP 50 TURN-OFFS
    1.Body odour
    2.Bad temper
    3.Lying
    4.Being selfish

    People are noticing Simon Cowell’s gay jibes at Louis Walsh

    Another week, another gay jibe at Louis Walsh.

    It seems as though “casual homophobia” is the new thing for Saturday night TV. Last night Peter Kay, whilst on the BBC, was blasted on social media for a joke some decided was homophobic and over on ITV Simon Cowell, once again, made a comment alluding to Louis Walsh‘s sexuality and viewers are starting to notice the frequency at which it happens.

    In Saturday’s (19th Nov) broadcast of the X Factor, Simon Cowell questions why Louis might like Matt Terry over Ryan Lawrie, after the 64-year-old judge told Ryan that Matt was better than him. Simon’s response, it seems, was done in such a way that many people took to Twitter to call him out on his “gay jibes”.

    https://twitter.com/tomstoneman/status/800070259873116160

    A couple of weeks ago another comment by Simon prompted huge speculation over Louis’s sexuality. During the critique of Matt Terry’s performance of “I’m Your Man”, which Louis thought was “a bit karaoke”, Simon aimed his critique at Louis saying, “This is the first time Louis has said I don’t like I’m Your Man.”

    This isn’t the first time Simon has made jokes with someone’s sexuality as the butt of the joke (pun intended). During a live Xtra Factor broadcast, Simon asked Rylan Clark-Neal whether he liked the backdoor.

  • People are angry after Peter Kay’s “homophobic” joke on Judge Rinder

    Peter Kay has come under some strong criticism after a joke towards Strictly celeb Judge Rinder backfired.

    Peter Kay has been criticised after an interaction with Strictly celeb, Judge Rinder, who is gay, was interpreted as homophobic by viewers at home. The comedian was blasted on social media after telling Robert Rinder that his, “case was closed” after pretending that the Judge had touched his backside.

    Speaking to Judge Rinder directly Peter Kay said,

    “Hang on let me say hello to this fellow, he’s fantastic,” before the pair hugged. Peter Kay backing away continued, “Steady, watch it me lord! This case is firmly closed!”

    Almost immediately viewers on Twitter slammed the comedian for his poor judgement and “homophobia”.

  • Lance Bass has taken drastic measures to stop sweating

    So what is Lance Bass doing to stop sweating through his clothes?

    In pictures posted to social media Lance Bass is seen taking drastic measures to stop underarm sweating through his clothing. Yes, he’s having botox injected into his arms pits and it looks super painful.

    The former boy bander joked, that he should be putting the injections into his forehead, but putting it into his arm pits saves him a fair few $$$’s in dry cleaning!

    “I should be putting #Botox in my forehead , but putting it under my arms saves a lot of wardrobe under the hot lights”

    Botox is known to stop the sweat glands from producing sweat for around six months at a time and can be useful to control excessive sweating. You can use Botox to stop sweating in your palms too!

  • 5 things you probably didn’t know about prostate cancer, but should

    We look at one male cancer which touches the lives of at least one in eight men in the UK, Prostate cancer.

    With the help of Dr Gordon Muir, the Consultant Urological Surgeon at London Bridge Hospital, we dispell some untruths and discovers some facts about cancer which affects nearly 1 in eight men in the UK.

    Here’re 5 things you probably didn’t know about prostate cancer, but should.

     

    No early symptoms.

    Prostate cancer usually gives off no early signs. Dr Gordon Muir, the Consultant Urological Surgeon at London Bridge Hospital said, that it “can be diagnosed only by examination or a blood test.”

    He suggests that you should get checked out if you have, “bone pain, difficulty passing urine, or general malaise”, which might signify advanced prostate cancer.

    Blood tests reveal the truth.

    It isn’t all fingers up the bum. A blood test followed by a biopsy is taken to help doctors determine your prostate health.

    Race and genetics are a factor.

    There are a couple of higher risk groups. Dr Gordon Muir tells us that black men are much more likely to develop the disease. Family history also plays a huge role in your risk factor.

    Diet can make a difference.

    You should take good care of your diet as Dr Muir points out, “Being overweight and eating a lot of cooked red meat may increase the risk slightly too.” To remedy this he suggests, “tomatoes, green and yellow vegetables, soya protein, coffee and garlic may all help. As with most diseases, the best advice is to eat a healthy diet and keep fit”.

    There are five types of prostate cancer.

    Last year it was announced that the scientists from the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute and Addenbrooke’s Hospital made the shocking discovery that there are five kinds of prostate cancer.

    The discovery means that doctors will now potentially be able to distinguish between slow growing to the deadlier cancers. The discovery was identified by comparing 250 samples removed during surgery.

    Sanjay Sood-Smith looks pretty darn hot we have to admit after he shed an impressive amount of weight. In total, Sanjay managed to lose a stone and a half of fat thanks to the help he got from his personal trainer, Nathan Johnsonn.

    Posting pictures to his social media, the former Apprentice star, who appeared in the 2014 series of the Lord Sugar hit, looked toned and confident and remarkably slimmer thanks to all his hard work over a 12 week period.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BMzcf44jBJY/?hl=en&taken-by=sanjaysoodsmith

     

    The star posted a number of before and after pictures which showed the extent of his stone and a half weight loss. Featuring one that shows that the star’s stomach no longer hangs over his trousers, proving that hitting the gym can really help shift those stuborn inches.

    In one of the pictures the reality star joked that most of his “beer belly” had almost completely disappeared. Sanjay has lost inches across his back, belly and chest and cuts a fine looking figure these days.

    Earlier in the year the businessman was spotted downing cocktails in Ibiza with chums on a “lads” getaway.

    Sanjay also managed to work hard on his back and really slimmed down his lower back.

     

    Bravo Sanjay!
