Britain Loves Gaga...

...Well, her music at least. The strangely fashioned superstar picked up three Brit awards last night! She won Best International Break-Through Act, Best International Female Artist and Best International Album! After an amazing tribute performance to designer Alexander McQueen, she tearfully accepted the awards and thanked her fans more than anyone else! Supporting a tower of hair-do, wearing her curtains on the red-carpet and later stripping into a lace outfit Lady Gaga was queen of the night.

Proposal Fail - FAKE!

I posted yesterday about a man who proposed at a hockey game in New York, via the video board and he got declined in front of thousands by his girlfriend. Well, it was all fake. The couple were paid actors who had been contracted to provide entertainment for the crowd.

Whatever happened to good old cheer leading?

Cinema's Rage Against Alice

Britain's biggest cinema chains are considering not showing Tim Burton's latest creation of fabulousness because Disney want to send it to DVD after a 13 week show on the big screen. The normal release time between when a film premiers in the cinema and is released onto DVD is 17 weeks, however Disney want to shorten it, so it boosts business. Cinema chains like Odeon and Vue have not been advertising the film on their websites and it is due for release on the 5th of March. In their defence, shortening the length of release time will mean they wont be able to profit as much. But who cares! We want Alice and if cinema goers know the film will be on the big screen for a shorter amount of time then they will all rush to see it, which, may produce even more money for the cinemas. Otherwise, I'm going to France and watching it there!

When You're Proposing - Do it privately!

A man was left shamed when his proposal to his girlfriend via a stadium video board, went very wrong. He was turned down. The couple were supporting the New York Rangers playing at Madison Square Gardens Arena on Valentine's day when a message came on the screen saying, "Melissa, will you be my Blueshirt bride? Love, Nick." Her girlfriend appeard horrified by the message, shook her head and left.

The moral of this story guys - NEVER propose to your girlfriend in public, unless you know she will say 'Yes'. Below is the link to the hilarious fail.

Frisbee Inventor Dies

The man who brought all children happiness - before they started playing with guns and weed - has died at the age of 90. Walter Morrison started throwing cake tins as a beach game with his wife, then after he fought in the the war, made them out out of plastic and called them Pluto platters.

He started demonstrating and selling them in fairs and then in caught the attention of manufacturers Wham-O who took on the product and change its name. Since then is has sold more than 200 million Frisbees. Morrison who lived in Utah in the US had three children.

King Tutankhamun Died of Malaria.

Who would have thought that the disease was around for so long. But recent tests on the mummified king shows he had brain malaria which may have caused his death. One of the most fascinating histories to ever study is Egyptian. When his mummy was found in 1922 it sparked worldwide interest in the history and until now, scientists had thought he died because of a blow to the head and recent tests prove otherwise.

King Tutankhamun only ruled for nine years and died at the age of nineteen. Maybe scientists should stop proding and scanning him and just let him be. Before he comes back to life and kills us all!
