Kersal Massive are MC Mack, Lil’ Fuckin Kev and Ginger Joe (in the corner). The Kersal Massive are considered the cream of UK Hip Hop.
Lyrics to this monster hit are as follows:
(MC Mack)
This is the Kersal man MC Mack yeah
Featuring Little Fuckin’ Kev yeah
Over there in that corner
Is our boy Ginger Joe yeah
We don’t fuck about.
Kick it, Kev.
(Little Fuckin’ Kev)
Got on tha bus with me day saver
Smoked a reefer in da corner
Laid low
Did a Grand Theft Auto,
(MC Mack)
In a ‘05 V6 Clio Twin Turbo
Y’know how we roll with them backseat hoes
On we go
H S B C we do them grafts,
An’ we got the money cos we know how to rap!
Yeah, an’ that’s a fuckin other one, and we don’t fuck about.
Levenshulme ain’t got shit on us yeah (Little Fuckin’ Kev) Shit on us
Pimpin!
You know that fuckin… tell ‘em Joe how the fuck it is man
(Ginger Joe)
Yeah man, yeah man
(MC Mack)
Levenshulme can go fuck that shit yeah cos we know how to do it,
Kersal Massive, you know that,
Fuck.
Peace.
Much critical speculation focuses on MC Mack’s choice of theme: HSBC has not commented on this lyric, and MC Mack has also remained silent, but he seems to be implying that the high profit margin from his rapping career (“An’ we got the money cos we know how to rap”) has given rise to the need for adequate banking facilities. Another possibility is a reference to bank robbery (‘grafting’); MC Mack may simply be expanding Little Fuckin’ Kev’s game of Grand Theft Auto, lyrically describing a scenario involving the use of a virtual car (the ‘05 V6 Clio twin turbo’ of the second verse) to rob a virtual branch of HSBC.
And that concludes our first Spotlight on British Music of 2010.

James Cameron received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this morning, the day Avatar is released nationwide. Most of the cast, including Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, and Sam Worthington were in attendance, and even the Terminator himself stopped by to make a quick bumbling speech about how jealous he was of Cameron's Oscars. Keep dreaming, Arnie! Sigourney Weaver took the podium and did a mock wedding ceremony, marrying Cameron to the cement sidewalk, and then the day was declared "James Cameron Day" in Hollywood. Hurrah! (Click photos to enlarge)

From Craigslist.org (t/y Oded):
Hiring staff for a hollywood party
This is a private Holiday Party. The guests are very attractive, hip and trendy; the men and women of young Hollywood who are thriving in the entertainment industry. Although a mixed crowd will be present the crowd will be predominantly gay. It is being hosted by a very successful actor and his partner, both of whom are gay and not public with their lifestyle. They both wish their private life to remain so. Therefore, they have taken considerable precautions to keep this party very private,
I am a personal friend of the hosts and have staffed several of their parties. I assure you they are incredibly generous, laid-back and respectful people for whom I am sure you will enjoy working. Their parties are not about sex, they have a strict no-drugs policy and for yours and their own protection absolutely no cameras or photography of any kind will be permitted at the party.
Clothed staff members are paid a base rate of $800.00 for a four-hour evening (be aware that even clothed staff members will be wearing very little). Nude staff members receive a base rate of $1200.00 plus an optional $300.00 bonus* (which will be discussed further during the interview). Because the hosts are aware that most of the models are new and possibly struggling actors, their guests are “encouraged” to tip generously.
If the party goes longer than its allotted time (which they often do) you will be given the choice to continue to work at the additional rate of $100.00 for every hour after or you may leave at that time.
You will not meet the hosts prior to the event and upon being hired you must be willing to sign a Confidentiality/Privacy waiver.

Billboard queen Angelyne is suing the City of Los Angeles for not delivering her fanmail. In 2008, the city bumped Angelyne out of her Selma Avenue office to make way for the massive Hollywood & Vine / W Hotel development. Angelyne got $89,000 in relocation fees, and the city promised to forward her fan mail to a PO Box address in Beverly Hills.
Now Angelyne is claiming she hasn't received all of that fanmail, and is suing for $500,000. To be fair, the famous-for-being-famous model-actress makes most of her money by signing autographs and memorabilia. The Hollywood Reporter, however, calls the lawsuit "hilarious." Developing.
