Radio news day

Three teenagers were rescued from a burning wreckage this morning, following a police chase along a Hampshire road.

 

It is believed the stolen car veered off and crashed through trees before bursting into flames on a stretch of the A-thirty five in the New Forest.

 

The three male occupants of the car, aged fourteen, sixteen and seventeen have been arrested and taken to Bournemouth hospital.

 

Five police officers also sustained minor injuries during the crash.

Home Again.

So I’ve just got back from a little trip away to Dublin. It was fantastic really, had a very enjoyable time, drank lots, and after many ‘taste tests’ came to the conclusion I prefer Jameson whiskey to Guiness, but thats ok – they’re both Irish drinks, and you can like one or the other!

Anyhoo down to business….discussing the mad world of celebs!

• First Off….Pete Doherty in jail. Now this makes me kinda sad because I am a longtime Libertines fan, and I do believe in Peters ability to make some really good music…buuuut he just keeps effing it up for himself! I can’t judge him for the drugs, but I sincerely hope this makes him realise what he’s loosing out on, particulalry as Babyshambles won’t be able to play Glasto now and maybe then after 14 weeks in the nick he’ll realise thats its either get clean…or die.

 

• Supermodel Naomi Campbell will never be able to fly with British Airways again following a argument on a recent flight. The 37 year old was removed from a Los Angeles bound plane last Thursday after she flew into a rage when she was told one of her bags had gone missing.

Campbell was then arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer then released on bail on Fr iday pending further investigations. Now the airline has made the decision to ban the star for life.

The supermodel’s spokeswoman said: ‘Naomi has been flying with BA for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer. She hopes this can be resolved amicably.’

• Ooooh breaking news Kerry Katona has gone into labour 5 weeks early! With all the trouble she’s had with this preganancy I just hope they get the baby out safe and sound and both baby and mum are ok.

 

• David Beckham got busted by an LA cop yesterday for dangerous driving. Naughty naughty – not a very good example to set for his young fans!

 Finally I’m going to use my blog for a little personal publicity, my stepdad is running the London marathon this weekend (13th April) for the children’s charity NSPCC and although I realise we are all poor students, if anyones feeling generous the link is http://www.justgiving.com/ianmusgrove?ref=facebook

 Thanks, love Alice XxxX

Rimes’ Celebrity realted Musings…helped by Lola

Firstly…the title is somewhat misleading, Lola has been more of a hinderance than a help, earlier she walked all over my laptop keyboard thus rendering my first attempt at posting this blog unreadable. Still she’s asleep now, her number one favourite activity. I wish I was a cat, sleep and eat is all they do.

Still….

• Katie Holmes is gonna try her way at acting…again. It seems the world has forgotten that’s what she actually does, since she became ‘Mrs Tom Cruise’ and had baby Suri noones paid much attention to her actual ‘job.’ The former Dawson’s Creek starlet will be treading the boards on Broadway in the play ‘All My Sons.’ And if Katies performance is a success she could be hopping the pond and bringing the show to Ol’ London Town.

• Leona Lewis is the first British female artist to top the US charts in over twenty years. The X-Factor singer cracked America with her single ‘Bleeding Love.’ Nice going for a former receptionist from Hackney!

• If you thought Johnny Depp couldn’t get any more delightful, well he can! After hearing about a 17 year old fan who was in a coma following a severe car accident, Johnny sent the family a recorded message in the voice of Captain Jack Sparrow. Lo and behold Sophie Wilkinson started moving her right leg when she heard Depp’s voice. ….That only makes us love him more!

• Oh and Kate + Jamie update…apparantly a wedding date has been set for early September! Exciting.

•  Tabloid newspaper The Sun has teemed up with Social Networking sites Facebook and MySpace to try and get Russell Brand to  the number one in the singles chart. The notorious comedien recorded a variety of tracks for his latest film ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall,’ and now fans and the paper are campaigning for record labels to release the song, and give Brand the chance to reach the top spot. Personally I’d find that more funny than Basshunter…again.

• Finally radio 4 newsreaders do know how to have fun! Radio Journalist Charlotte Green recently got into trouble for giggling whilst reading out an obitury, however in a piece she wrote for the Gaurdian she revealed this wasn’t the first time! “It’s an open secret” that she has a silly sense of humour. “For me, it’s essential to laugh both at the absurdity of life and at oneself,” she wrote. “Inevitably, the laughter sometimes spills over into my work and I find myself poleaxed by merriment.” One particular example was when she had to read a report about an army major called Jack Tuat… pronounced “twat”. “I knew immediately that I was going to have trouble getting through the next story, which to compound the problem was about a sperm whale,” she says. “My voice rose and dropped like Dame Clara Butt on speed, the laughter broke free and the item about the stranded sperm whale came to a premature end. I was transported back to my 10-year-old self, ambushed by mirth because my best friend had farted, unexpectedly and explosively, during school prayers.”

That’s all for now, A + L XxX

Alice Rimes ‘celeb news!’

Things that I’m thinking about today in terms of lovely celebrities:

1) Why is everyone having twins all of a sudden? (I’m a twin and I like the thought of lots more twins in the world, but seriously everyones at it!) Hollywood twins….Julia Roberts started it, then Jenifer Lopez, Nancy Grace, Marcia Cross and now Jessica Alba and Angelina Jolie are pregnant with twinies! Oh and my mums friend Joy gave birth to twins the other day…
I think it might have something to do with the fact that ‘career girls’ are leaving it so late to have children, which then means they need fertility drugs to help…and then they get twins! lovely stuff.

2) Is Kate Moss gonna marry Jamie Hince? Apparantly she’s started wearing an engagement ring, and after being asked by a fan when the wedding was taking place the supermodel replied “soon.” I hope she does…she deserves a bit of luck in the man department!

3) Can Britters act!? Britney Spears’ cameo in ‘How I Met My Mother’ was a massive succes…getting an extra 3million viewers for the show, and good press which makes a change, especially after the critics slated her earlier attempt at acting in the honestly awwwful film ‘Crossroads.’

4) Finally who wants to try Demi Moore’s best kept beauty secret?…..leeches! According to Moore “It detoxifies your blood. And they have a little [blood thinning] enzyme that when they are biting down on you is released in your blood.” YUMMERS!

5) One last thing, my friend Harriet swears she saw Snoop ‘doggy’ Dogg at Clapham Junction train station yesterday…genius.

Oh and Chris….Lola isn’t doing anything, she sleeps all day, wakes up around tea time, bites and scratches anyone / anything in her path, and then curls up for another little sleep, before the nights hunting. My mum then wakes up to delightful ‘love gifts’ of mouse parts left by the front door.

Newsday article

Winchester Bobbies are out in force this half term ready to confiscate alcohol from anyone under the age of 18, as part of a national home office campaign.

Hampshire Constabulary will be following a focussed operation, as outlined by the Home Office to target young people in possession of alcohol. The national campaign will focus on police forces proactively targeting local areas where youths gather and cause crime and anti – social behaviour.Research undergone by the Home Office revealed that 44 % of young people were identified as binge drinkers, defined as ‘getting very drunk at least once a month.’ However using the powers contained within the Confiscation of Alcohol (Young Persons) Act 1997 and the ‘Directions to Leave’ power under section 27 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, police can now surrender any alcohol in the possession of an underage drinker, and give a dispersal order to break up gangs of young people who are seen to be causing a nuisance on the streets.Inspector Alistair Nichols, Hampshire Constabulary’s Force Alcohol Harm Reduction Lead said: “Drunken teenagers are more likely to cause criminal damage and anti-social behaviour so police officers across Hampshire and Isle of Wight will be confiscating alcohol from under 18s before the situation gets out of hand.” Police are also using this opportunity to gather information regarding the young people’s ability to access alcohol locally and then follow up with inquiries into the  identified licensed premises or through parents.  It is an offence for adults to buy alcohol for under 18s, they could receive an £80 fixed penalty notice or end up in court and fined up to £5,000. The Home Office campaign is running nationally from 8 to 27 February 2008.

 

 

 

 

About me

Hello world!

Blogging…ok well here goes! My names Alice Rimes, I’m 18 and in my first year at Winchester Uni studying Journalism. I have a twin sister who’s the total opposite of me, she does an archaeology and history degree and is most likely to be down and hole somewhere washing bits of old pottery, whereas you’re more likely to find me in Topshop. I adore shopping and have a strange obsession with celebrities, what they’re doing, whos with who and who wore what, I have to know it all! I also love comedy particularly Blackadder, Spaced, The Mighty Boosh, Black Books, Phonenix Nights, I’m Alan Partridge…and stand up umm Bill Bailey, Peter Kay, Russell Brand etc. You get the picture! Oh and anything with Stephen Fry in it!

As for music, mostly old stuff…The Smiths, Beatles, Led Zep, The Stones, The Jam, The Kinks, Wellar, …and newish bands like The Libertines / Babyshambles, Arcade Fire, Kings of Leon,The Maccabees, Foals, Jamie T, The Long Blondes, Maximo Park, Bat for Lashes, Cribs.

That’s all, make what you will of this dismal attempt at a blog which turned out to be a list of my likes and dislikes really.

Oh and my kitten Lola can have a mention. There was the mention.
