Who's Jack's The Week In News
Who’s Jack’s look at what’s been hitting the headlines this week and what everyones saying about it…
Haiti Charity Single Makes Everybody Hurt… This week music mastermind and multi-multi-millionaire Simon Cowell launched the Help for Haiti charity single, a cover of REM’s classic, Everybody Hurts. However the single, which features a mash up of those currently appearing in the Top 40 (Leona Lewis, Cheryl Cole, Westlife and Robbie Williams to name just a few) hasn’t exactly been met with the praise and admiration Cowell was probably looking for. Instead many are calling it a publicity stunt and a crime against music. Maybe the inclusion of Disney Brat Miley Cyrus didn’t help the case? That said, it is for a good cause and while it’ll never go down in history as one of the greatest cover versions of all time at least buying it will go some way to helping those effected by the Haiti Earthquake.
MPs Say Throw Their Expensive Toys Out Of Their Pram Over Expenses… They spent the money on moats, rent (for properties they already owned), clothes and for a mortgage on a property that no longer existed but when it was revealed how MP’s had been swindling their expenses most hung their heads in shame and accepted what was coming to them. The same cannot be said for Labour MP’s Elliot Morley, David Chaytor, Jim Devine and Lord Hanningfield, a Tory frontbencher and leader of Essex county council who today announced they would be fighting against the decision by the court to have them tried under the Theft Act. Quite how they’re going to argue their case is a bit beyond us but one things for sure, we wish we could get away with claiming back for redecorating our homes.
Toyota Are Sorry For Any ‘Inconvinence’… It was revealed two weeks ago that Toyota were potentially recalling it’s Prius hybrid cars from the public after problems with the internal break system. This week head of Toyota, Akio Toyoda, said sorry during a 45 minute press conference for any inconvinence caused. We’re not sure that’s going to cut it with the 270,000 people in the UK, US and Japan who have already brought them. Prehaps the fact the recall will cost the company $2billion might be of some condolence? Or not.
And here’s one headline the Who’s Jack team created themselves this week…
Rio Ferninand Becomes Jacks BBF While The Greatest Party of February Is Announced… During a private screening of the new Russell Young exhibition at the Scream Gallery in London one memeber of the Who’s Jack crew managed to secure a friendship with one of the worlds best known footballers, Rio Ferdinand. The fact he was backed into a corner and couldn’t get away didn’t stop Rio (we’re on first name terms now) agreeing to contribute to the magazine. This all happened on the same day that Who’s Jack announced it’s party at The Old Queens Head, Jack Came Here To Party, on 26th February. Hey, maybe Rio will join?
