X Factor – Live Show 5 – Movie Week
Movie week should have brought about some fabulous songs. For goodness sake how many movies have been made and how many hits have come from them.

David Letterman – Sorry Isn’t Enough
Okay, so David Letterman may be an American icon on the chat show circuit, but does that really excuse him for his recently exposed...

Communication!
“My husband said he needed more space, so I locked him outside.”
Money, Money, Money.

People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.
