  • Piers Morgan offered £1 million to get off Twitter

    Piers Morgan offered £1 million to get off Twitter

    The controversial Good Morning Britain presenter has been offered £1 million to leave Twitter for a year.

    (ITV)

    The founder of HushHush.com, an online marketplace dubbed “Amazon for millionaires”, is offering Piers Morgan £1m to quit posting on Twitter.

    This is following Piers’ resolution earlier this year to continue annoying as many members of the public as possible. After analysing his Twitter profile for social sentiment, HushHush.com found that only 10% of interactions with Piers Morgan were positive.

    The official offer can be seen on the HushHush.com website with the Terms and Conditions here: https://www.hushhush.com/million-pound-question/

    Piers Morgan is notorious for his prolific Twitter posts and getting into public spats with celebrities and members of the public. As well as the content of his tweets, he’s also known for the frequency of them, and it’s not uncommon for him to post more than 22 tweets in a 24-hour timeframe.

    However, the presenter has already poo-pooed the offer saying it would cost at least £10 million to make him think about the offer.

    Aaron Harpin, founder and CEO of HushHush.com said, “They say that money can’t buy happiness, but this offer comes pretty close. At HushHush.com, we make people’s dreams come true with luxurious products and experiences, but none sound better than this. Imagine 365 days of Piers-free bliss online! This isn’t being stretched to Piers’ TV appearances but at least it’s easier to turn the TV off than to avoid him online!

    “Personally, I just cannot understand how someone can be so opinionated all the time. My only fear is that he could come back worse than before, but it’ll be a nice break. I hope if he accepts it will go towards making Twitter a more pleasant social media platform.”

  • Matt Lucas calls out two tabloids for inaccurate reporting

    Matt Lucas calls out two tabloids for inaccurate reporting

    The comedian took to Twitter to call out two of Britain’s leading tabloid newspapers for false reporting over Finding Neverland Michael Jackson tweet.

    Back in February, Matt Lucas said, that Michael Jackson could “rot” after watching the forthcoming documentary film, Leaving Neverland about the alleged abuse of two boys by the late singer.

    However, since that tweet, Matt has said that a handful of Jackson’s fans have harassed him, saying that he had even received a death threat by one sick person.

    Both The Sun and The Mirror picked up the story, but inserted that Matt Lucas had called Jackson a “paedo”. A word that Matt never actually used in his original tweet.

    Taking to Twitter Matt wrote, “I don’t know why but both The Mirror and The Sun have misquoted me. I did not call Michael Jackson a ‘paedo’ at any point.”

    Leaving Neverland is going to be broadcast in the UK on the 6th and 7th March 2019 on Channel 4. The film, which will be split into two episodes, documents alleged abuse against two boys James Safechuck and Wade Robson.

    Going on one of his legendary rants, Big Brother star, Ryan Ruckledge took the creators of the so-called “Momo Challenge” to task. The “Momo Challenge” happens when strangers communicate through social media and messaging apps, sending messages that are unsettling to the dangerous.

    The stranger sending the message uses the now infamous bug-eyed artwork of a woman with dark hair – which actually has no connection to the terrifying “challenge”.

    Taking to Insatgram, Ryan said, “What the f**k is going on with this momo challenge that is all over the news and the media at the minute? Who is that psychotic enough to create an app for kids to go on to and do challenges to kill themselves, like what sort of world are we living in? Like I don’t know about anybody else, but when I was younger I used to love nothing more than going for a game of curby or manhunt or lobbing an egg at Barbara’s window, down the street,  because I knew her husband was going to give me a chase like – kids shouldn’t be on social media – 7,8,9 years of age.

    GET THEM OFF SOCIAL MEDIA. Ryan warns parents to get their children off social media.

    He continued, “If your kid is getting told to do suicidal thing by f**king Momo.

    “Get them off it. Give them a footy and tell them to go for a kick about in the park. Not listening to this bullsh*t on social media. All jokes aside, warn your kids about it. it is quite scary and dangerous, but take the phones off them.

  • Attitude publisher tells David Lammy to “f**k yourself” after “white saviour” tweet

    Attitude publisher tells David Lammy to “f**k yourself” after “white saviour” tweet

    The publisher of Attitude Magazine, who has raised over £350,000 for an AIDS charity to spend in Africa has lashed out at the MP David Lammy after “White Saviour” tweet.

    The publisher of one of the UK’s biggest LGBT+ Magazines, Darren Styles, has lashed out at the MP, David Lammy after the MP tweeted that the world did not need any more “white saviours”, following on from the publication of a picture showing BBC presenter and journalist, Stacey Dooley holding an African child in her arms, while she was filming a documentary for Comic Relief.

    The MP for Tottenham, wrote, “The world does not need any more white saviours. As I’ve said before, this just perpetuates tired and unhelpful stereotypes. Let’s instead promote voices from across the continent of Africa and have serious debate”

    While the MP admitted that the tweet wasn’t “personal” to Dooley he did blast the charity Comic Relief writing, “My problem with British celebrities being flown out by Comic Relief to make these films is that it sends a distorted image of Africa which perpetuates an old idea from the colonial era”.

    Darren Styles, OBE who publishes Attitude Magazine responded to Lammy’s tweet, calling the MP’s view on colour “poisonous” and stating that he had raised over £350,000 for an AIDS charity to spend in Africa.

    Taking to Twitter Styles wrote, “As a white man who has raised more than £350k for an AIDS charity to spend in Africa you can go fuck yourself. I’ll spend my life and my time how I see fit, and do what good I can wherever I can based on need, rather than your poisonous view of my (or anyone’s) colour”.

    Manchester Pride has taken a bashing on social media this year due to a new pricing structure and issues surrounding who it announced as its headline for 2019, Ariana Grande.

    The announcement was branded a cis-straight whitewashing of the pride by one LGBT artist while, The Voice finalist Lauren Bannon called the new pricing a “joke” and a the event “venture capitalist”

    Grande’s headlining confirmation spurred a huge online debate, with many questioning why a straight-identified artist was chosen by the Pride.

    The singer has now responded, Taking to Twitter she wrote,

    “Hi my love. I have nothing to do with ticket pricing – Manchester Pride sets those rates, and they’re mostly out of my control.

    “The LGBTQ community has been so special to me and supportive throughout my entire career. The relationships i have with my LGBTQ fans, friends, and family make me so so happy. I want to celebrate and support this community, regardless of my identity or how people label me. and also i wanna visit a city that means so much to me. LGBTQ representation is incredibly important, and I’m always proud to share the stage with LGBTQ artists!

    “Over the years, pride events have been headlined by performers and artists of all sexual orientations and genders, including straight allies like Cher and Kylie Minogue. i do think there’s room for us to talk about these issues without equating a performance *for* an LGBTQ audience with exploitation of the LGBTQ community.

    “If you truly feel like i didn’t deserve to be offered this spot, I respect that. But i did accept it excitedly and gratefully. I’m not claiming to be the hero of the community or the face of the LGBTQ rights movement – I just wanna put on a show that makes my LGBTQ fans feel special and celebrated and supported. That’s all I wanna do.”

    Grande will be joined by Years and Years, 80’s duo Bananarama over the August bank holiday weekend at Mayfield Depot.
