Lindsey Lohan returns to rehab and Jack Osbourne comments
Lindsey Lohan in rehab and Jack Osbourne offers support: I’m a great supporter of Jack Osbourne and what he has done to represent recovery and his own personal development. Indeed, I gave him his 1st year anniversary cake back in 2004 (in fact you can see a short film on you tube, from when […]

Cocaine Chloe from X-Factor
X-Factor: Like many other people in the UK at this time, I find myself watching X-factor (normally on recorded TV to miss the adverts) snuggled up on the sofa with the wife. If I’m honest, its all her fault that I’m drawn into the madness that is basically a karaoke show, albeit with excellent […]
Smoking – have you considered quitting?

Contribution
