Patrick Warburton = You can't escape him.
Patrick Warburton is the guy that I must say puts the most work in, he is on almost every channel. This guy does the voice-over for almost every butch cartoon character. Warburton's acting roles often rely on his deep, booming voice and large physique. I am going to give a few examples of where his work may be seen.
Just a few of my favourites. His filmography is something else.
To find out more about his voice-overs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Warburton

Brock Samson : The Venture Bros
Kronk : The Emperor's New School
Titan : Space Chimps
He is now in my favourite TV show; *Rules of Engagement*

Drake & Nicki Minaj Married? Footage? Video? [Billboard Article]
Did Drake and Nicki Minaj get married, or are they just using Twitter to faux-fulfill their fans' dreams of a royal hip-hop coupling? Young Money's prince and princess tweeted each other on Friday afternoon (Aug. 27) about supposedly getting hitched, and their followers went into a re-tweeting frenzy when Minaj wrote, "Yes, its true. Drake and I tied the knot."
Shortly afterward, Drake tweeted, "Please refer to @nickiminaj as Mrs. Aubrey Drake Graham and don't stare at her too long. She's finally mine. :)" Asked whether Drake and Minaj really did get married, a source close to both artists would neither confirm or deny the tweets, but alluded to them being a joke.
On the track "Miss Me" off his debut album "Thank Me Later," Drake rhymed, "I love Nicki Minaj, I told her, I'd admit it/I hope one day we get married just to say we f***ing did it/And girl, I'm f***ing serious with it if you with it/'Cause your verses turn me on, and your pants are mighty fitted."

GCSEs: record number pass early... including a five-year-old
A fresh row over GCSE standards erupted yesterday as record numbers of pupils took exams at least a year early. Results posted in schools showed that teenagers took more than 83,000 maths GCSEs before the intended age of 16 this year - nearly three times as many as 2008. Nearly 67,000 took English at age 15 or younger - a 59 per cent increase in 12 months alone.
Achiever: Dee Alli, pictured with her mentors Paula Imafidon, left, and Ann-Marie Imafidon, has become the youngest person to get a GCSE after passing her maths exam at the age of five.
The trend cast doubt on the future of GCSE as an end-of-school exam.
This year also saw another record broken with five-year-old Dee Alli becoming the youngest person to pass a GCSE.
Dee, who lives with her parents, Joy and Rasheed Alli, in Southwark, South London, gained a C in maths - after finding the exam 'very easy'.
The youngster, who enjoys singing and watching television, starts primary school next month.
Dee said: 'I find maths very, very easy. I didn't know I was taking the exam - I thought it was a game. Maths is a big game with numbers.
'I found it very easy because it was mostly questions about the difference between numbers. I'm very surprised to be the youngest ever. I'm very proud of myself.'
Last summer, Dee's brother, Jude, hit the headlines when he sat his maths GCSE aged six and gained a D.
Pupils passed 69.1 per cent of exams at grades A* to C. Just one in every 77 GCSE exams was failed
.
The supergirl who racked up 15A*
Chidera Ota led the GCSE roll of honour yesterday with 15 A*s.
Chidera, who studied Latin twice a week in her lunch break, has gained a scholarship to attend King's School, Canterbury, where she will study chemistry, physics, biology, maths and further maths A-levels.
The 16-year-old pupil at Highsted Grammar School, Sittingbourne, Kent, achieved the grades in English literature and language, maths, statistics, French, German, Latin, history, sociology, chemistry, biology, physics and an IT qualification worth three GCSEs.
Chidera, who lives with her Nigerian-born parents - Uchenna, a GP, and Mercy, a nurse - in the Isle of Sheppey, wants to become a doctor.
She said: 'I stayed home a lot and put a lot of work into my GCSEs. I want to become a doctor so I know it's a very hard and competitive field and I need to do extremely well to get into medicine.
'I want to go to a top university and have already looked around Oxford and Cambridge. I think I'd like to go to St John's College at Cambridge.'
Seven-year-old OSCAR SELBY achieved an A* in GCSE maths - the youngest person to gain the super grade.

4-Year-Old Boy Gets Herpes After Putting A Used Condom In His Mouth From A Hotel Room!
ATLANTA -- A 4-year-old child may now have a sexually transmitted disease because of a used condom he found in an Atlanta hotel room. Carmen Jones said she is hurting inside not knowing what sexually transmitted diseases her grandson may now have. “The doctors at Scottish Rite said, if it was some sort of herpes it would last seven to 10 days, and sure enough about 10 days he started getting better, but then the blisters reappeared,” said Jones. Jones said she, her grandson and other family members stayed at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in downtown Atlanta on July 31."

Kanye West revive Taylor Swift issue on "Power" Remix
Aired on on NYC’s Hot 97 radio last night.“Rumble, young man, rumble,” Jay-Z advises his controversy-prone protégé in his opening verse. He’s actually the one who gets rumbling first: “F— all these labels, f— what everybody wants from you/They trying to Axl Rose you, ‘Welcome to the Jungle’/To be continued, we on that Norman Mailer s—/In search of the truth, even if it goes through Taylor Swift/Tell her this!” Yeah, he went there. Jay-Z isn’t really dissing or insulting Swift per se, but just hearing him call someone out by name in his music is rare enough to get a certified wheeeeel up.
Kanye went in too, kicked up his lyrical content up a notch with many quotable lines; such as, “I’m on my Van Gogh, I don’t hear s—,”.
After the beat switches up to a Snap! flip courtesy of Swizz Beatz (“I’ve got the power!”), Kanye goes back to those lingering hurt feelings from last year’s VMAs. “See, I dreamed my whole life that I could rhyme with Jigga,” he spits, “Now Jay my big brother and Bey my little sister/And excuse me, but you can’t see my little sister.” Translation: He still thinks “Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time. OF ALL TIME”. Even though he may have acted up, you can't knock the loyalty.
Listen below for the Official Remix:

Shardinay's offered management contract worth £250,000
Shardinay's a YouTube star - Ilford Recorder 24 (Article)
OVERNIGHT internet R n B sensation Shardinay King has been dubbed the "Marmite" of pop music - you either love her or you hate her. But with 93,000 YouTube views in the last month alone, it appears Shardinay may have the last laugh over her critics.
The single mum-of-two, of Goodmayes Avenue, Goodmayes, has been approached by two major management companies, and a deal could result in her pocketing a staggering £250,000. Despite earning the accolade of worst song of 2010, Shardinay, 30, remains upbeat: "I can't understand why I am hated so much. I just have to laugh at the awful comments I hear."
Shardinay wrote most of her music while on lunch breaks at the central London shop where she worked as a retail manager. Although dubious about performing in public at first, Shardinay's two daughters, aged 6 and 9, heard her singing in the shower and encouraged her to air her musical talent.
Her single, Ex-boyfriend, is about the break-up of her previous relationship, and she admits although the topic is a cliché, she finds writing music therapeutic.
"I didn't want my first song to be about a true story but I guess it just happened that way," she says. "It was such a relief to get it all out of my system."
She recently enjoyed her first taste of fame after being recognised while out with friends in Ilford. "Two weeks ago I was in Nandos when a group of girls asked for my picture and autograph," she says. "My friends thought it was hilarious, they were joking with me to hurry up and finish my chicken! I have also been spotted when I'm out clubbing with my friends - it's surreal."
Shardinay hopes to have achieved stardom in the next five years, but until then she plans to take every day as it comes. For details of upcoming gigs and news visit www.shardinayofficial.com.
BBC against the TopGear "Stig" autobiography
The BBC is fighting to keep Top Gear's mystery driver The Stig from revealing his identity. The corporation has launched a legal bid to stop the faceless show favourite - who speeds around a race track with a blackened visor - writing his autobiography.
BBC lawyers claim he is subject to a confidentiality agreement and unmasking himself would spoil viewers' enjoyment of the BBC Two programme, which is one of the channel's most popular. The Stig famously takes to the track in an assortment of cars, as well as training celebrities to set lap times in Top Gear's popular "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" segment.
According to the BBC, his autobiography breaches "agreed contractual and confidentiality obligations" relating to the programme". Clad in race overalls and a helmet, the driver's identity has long been a closely-guarded show secret, spawning T-shirts emblazoned with slogans like "My Dad is The Stig".
Only a handful of executives and Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are said to know who he is. Several racing drivers have been linked to the role, including former Formula One world champions
Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher. Clarkson and his fellow presenters have all enjoyed spin-off success from TopGear, such as books and other TV work. The current Stig is the show's second. The original, Perry McCarthy, was dropped after his identity was discovered.

Erykah Badu fined for nude video shoot : BBC Article
US soul singer Erykah Badu has paid a $500 (£322) fine and will serve six months' probation for stripping naked on a Dallas street for a music video.
The 39-year-old ended filming by re-enacting the moment when President John F Kennedy was shot dead in 1963 in the city. The Grammy award-winning singer was charged with disorderly conduct when tourists and visitors complained. A spokeswoman for the singer did not immediately comment.
In March, the star performed a walking striptease as part of the video for Window Seat, before falling to the ground as if she has been shot. The filming took place at Dealey Plaza, the location where President Kennedy was assassinated. In April, Sgt Mitchell said that "people calling from all across the country to express their concern" about the making of the video.
A Dallas city spokesman confirmed that Badu had paid the fine.
A number of children and passers-by were seen on the video

Hip-Hop Cash Kings - Forbes Article
Even in a shaky economy, rap's richest keep finding ways to thriveThe top 20 earners on this year’s Cash Kings list racked up $300 million in earnings, the same as last year, despite a troubled world economy and a music industry thrown into flux by new technology. Artists like Jay-Z, Diddy, Ludacris and Snoop Dogg have thrived, adapting to the new world order by diversifying their revenue streams beyond recorded music.
Four years ago Jay-Z issued a lyrical taunt to his fellow rappers: "What you call money, I pay more in taxes." Turns out his line was more than just a boast.
Jay-Z pulled in $63 million over the past 12 months, earning him his second straight hip-hop cash crown. His income level places him in the 35% tax bracket, which means he'll pay Uncle Sam about $22 million this year--a sum greater than the total earnings of any other rap star besides second-ranked Diddy.
"There aren't many artists selling 250,000 albums in the opening week, and that used to happen all the time," says entertainment attorney Donald David. "The rise of iTunes means people don't have to buy whole album ... and that has changed the business dramatically."
Jay-Z and Diddy are two artists who've taken the changes in stride. In addition to releasing an album and launching a worldwide tour (average gross: more than $1 million per show), Jay-Z co-owns the 40/40 nightclub chain and has a stake in the NBA's New Jersey Nets. Diddy continues to cash in on Diageo vodka, Ciroc and roles in television and film, including this year's Get Him to The Greek. He also hawks Diddybeats ear-buds, part of the headphone line established by Dr. Dre, who ranks fifth on our list with $17 million.
Senegalese-American impresario Akon ranks third with $21 million, thanks to his Konvict Clothing label, a lucrative World Cup soccer ad campaign for Pepsi and Kon Live, his Interscope-backed imprint that's home to Lady Gaga and others.
Fourth on the list is Lil Wayne, who managed to pull in $20 million from his new album, Rebirth, and heavy touring before the start of his one-year jail stint in March for weapons charges.
Ludacris ranks sixth with $16 million, a total fueled by movie roles and a new cognac line, Conjure.
Kanye West's earnings fell from $25 million last year to $12 million this year in the wake of his highly publicized outburst during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 Video Music Awards. With a new album and world tour in the offing, he should be back toward the top of next year's list along with 50 Cent, who took a break from touring and recording to concentrate on film roles over the past year, earning $8 million, a relatively paltry total for the 2008 Cash King.
The Full Top 20 List
1) Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter – $63 Million
2) Sean “Diddy” Combs – $30 Million
3) Aliuane “Akon” Thiam – $21 Million
