Funny Music Videos – The slightly quirky ones are always the best

We think the way “best music video” awards are handed out should be changed. The awards seem to go to the most visually artistic videos or the ones that use most special effects.

Some of the best music videos are pure talent because they provide great entertainment value, they’re funny and slightly corny.

Snoop Dogg’s Sensual Seduction was genius because he went back to entertaining the audience with humour, the added retro chic and low light filming was an added bonus.



Out of all the videos we saw last year (some of which were filmed with multi-million dollar budgets) we found Snoop’s one to be the most memorable.

If we had the chance to make our own music video or at least direct an artist’s video, we would strip things right back down to provide pure entertainment value.

Michael Jacksons “Beat it” (1982) was and is still one of the most entertaining music videos of all time, the video highlights were real break dancing and amazing choreography.

Both Michael Jackson and Snoop Dogg’s video have gone into to music video halls of fame because they provided genuine entertainment value. We hope to see more bands and artists go back to using this formula instead of relying too heavily on special effects and technology.

Zorbing – love it! Who would you like to Zorb with and why?

We love Zorbing, getting hurled down a hill in a giant inflatable ball is definitely one way to get some adrenaline kicks.



Now you can do it with a couple of beautiful glamour models strapped inside the ball with you. We think this is going to take off pretty quickly, but why stop at glamour models?

We think Zorbing sould bring people together ;-) I’d personally like to have a “Zorb” with someone who has a very large afro because it would go all over the place whilst your inside that Zorb ball.

Who would you like to Zorb with and why?

We've been looking into Zorbing with a bit more detail:

We asked the girls in our office what their winter wardrobe must haves were:

Cashmere/Wool Shawls

Trench Coat / Wooly Parkas / Pea Coats

Pumps

Boot-cut Jeans

Tote Bags

Turtleneck jumpers

Cardigans

Black trouser pants

If you're planning on attending we have exclusive tickets up for auction where you can sit with fashion experts Brendan Courtney and Angela Buttolph!

Putting a price on getting close to God!?

We see it all here when it comes to all things bonkers but recently we've had a submission from a guy who will pay £5000 to have a "holy experience" and get close to the Pope.

We're keeping his identity confidential but we think his chances are slightly, ahem...slim.

The man is willing to go through security screenings and any safety measures in order to meet the pope in person.

If any anybody can help him there is £5000 GBP in it for you!

Hit list of bad celebrity hairstyles! Sometimes even they get it seriously wrong!

We stumbled upon news of Katie Holmes with a new haircut, we could be slightly out of touch with the fashion/beauty world but we’re questioning how cool it actually looks?


Others on our hit list are:

· Sly Stallone who has been seen walking around with greasy long locks.

· Donald Trump, that comb-over is a serious nooo no!

· British footballer Chris Waddle

· Russell Brand – back comb over kill

· Amy Winehouse – the beehive

· Keith flint – his prodigical horns

· Kurt Russell – It’s not the eighties anymore, give up the mullet!

· Eggney Spears, we meant Britney...but you can understand how we got confused earlier last year

Well that’s our pick of the worst any more suggestions? If you’re going to go to a celebrity hair stylist don’t take example from the names above.

Is Kelly Osbourne girlfriend material? 66% said no!

Kelly has had a recent makeover for stage appearances in Chicago and movie appearances in "The Town That Boars Me".

She's had a rep for being a temperamental madame at the best of times. On top of all that she's been known to be a bit of a princess too...the average guy's idea of a nightmare girlfriend.

Now that she has sexed up her look by making herself appear more mature and demure would you date her and put up with some of that wild character?

We conducted a survey amongst the Sweemo crowd and 66.7% of people came back with a no, despite her new look and mature career moves.

Oh well if you're that interested you can bid for a chance to get close to her.
