Alan Carr is back with a new series of Chatty Man!


We’ve been missing Alan Carr, and his cheeky celebrity interviews, so we’re very happy to hear that he’s back with a new series of Alan Carr: Chatty Man in June.

The new series will screen on Channel 4 at 10pm on Friday nights, and will see the usual mix of Alan’s mischievous banter, probing celebrity interviews and general silliness. In the past Alan’s been joined by the likes of Cheryl Cole, Kylie Minogue, Ricky Gervais, Rihanna, Sharon Osourne, Grace Jones, Drew Barrymore, Colin Farrell and Miley Cyrus, so we can’t wait to see who he’ll be sharing a gossip with next month. Will you tune in to watch Alan?

Lenny Kravitz To Star In The Hunger Games

ROCKER Lenny Kravitz has joined the cast of The Hunger Games.

The American Woman hitmaker will play Cinna, the fashion stylist assigned to Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) as she prepares to take part in the Hunger Games. His stunning and unique designs play an integral role in her performance in the Games.

“When I saw Lenny’s work in Precious, I was just knocked out,” director Gary Ross said. “It was quiet and strong and understated and open-hearted: all qualities which define this character.”
Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth also star in the movie, which Lionsgate is set to release March 23.

Kravitz was nominated for an NAACP Image Award and an ensemble SAG Award for his role in Precious. He also has appeared in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and Zoolander.

He is set to release his ninth studio album, Black and White America, on Aug. 30.

The REAL story behind the DEAD BABY picture



The little girl you see pictured in the pink dress is Ashanti Jackson. She is two years old. The cause of her death is tragic yet not uncommon. Ashanti suffers from a rare congenital defect known as ebonyplexia. She is allergic to black people.

When exposed to other blacks for prolonged periods of time, sufferers' of ebonyplexia experience respiratory problems, specifically spasms in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing.

Ashanti's mother, Narissa, 21, released this picture in order to raise awareness of the disease.

Around 100 children die of ebonypoxia every year.
