For babies sake!


Spice girl Mel B (scary) gave birth to a baby girl in April of last year, claiming the father was Nutty Professor actor Eddie Murphy.
After a DNA test, it emerged that the 32 year old Spice girl was actually telling the truth. Shocking.

But today, an article from the daily mail speculates that Eddie Murphy doesn't want anything to do with his daughter because he feels she 'tricked' him into falling pregnant. Is this fair?

Lets take a moment and think back to a couple of years ago, i remember seeing a music video from Mel B, it was extremely poor, and extremely home made, it probably still had the date and time on the screen from the video camera. Check it out:



I'm not implying that she was getting a bit strapped for cash and decided to sleep with a guy worth millions just to suck on his money by having a 'love' child, but the math is there. We can do our homework. What do you reckon?

Apparently Mel B told him she was using birth control pills, but fell pregnant. Eddie states they only had sex three times (had his mother not explained the birds and the bees to this man?) He may have well used the old gravity excuse 'you cant be pregnant, you were on top.' How fickle can a man be.

So anyway, Scary Spice tried to sue the American star for a £4.5 million house and to fund the child until she was 18 years old. He wasn't having any of this and now apparently pays £7,500 a month as child welfare. That's plenty! In real life they have to pay about £3-500 a month. Bargain, if only you were'nt famous Eddie!

But is this fair for little Angel? NO way. From day one she has been thrown into media spotlight, and shes always going to be known for this battle between her parents.

It seems that they are both missing the point. A child.

Eddie Murphy says he doesn't want to see his daughter until she is at an age when her mother wont interfere. Mel B is digging deep into his wallet for all she can get. Is that fair?

Angel, who is nearly one years old, may grow up not wanting to know her father because he hasn't been around for so long.

They both need to step back and actually prioritise the situation. Its not about money, its not about who's lying, its about someones life: and they should be and ARE BOTH responsible for that.

Ditch that dickhead!

Cheryl what are you doing?!

Ashley Cole cheats on his gorgeous wife...and she takes him back, now shes making herself ill over it. But don't we all?
I think every one reading this can relate to that kind of man one way or another, the one that just isn't satisfied with what he has, the one that's brain has actually been surgically sewn into his ball bags, and never will this kind of man change.
What do you think? The latest on Girls Alouds' Cheryl Cole and her football playing love rat, is that Cheryl cant be intimate with him. Cant blame her. The thought of someone else getting it on with her husband, the man who swore to love her and stay faithful to her, then being publicly humiliated by this slapper leaking her story to the paper for a few quid.

We'll put her on the hit list along with Rebecca Loos and Monica Lewinski. Don't worry Cheryl.

But seriously, this kind of self inflicted pain we cause ourselves like not eating, hurting ourselves, going out on the serious lash every night; is because mentally, as women, we punish ourselves for traumas that only men can cause. And what a horrible feeling it is.

Why do we punish ourselves? For anyone who has been in a similar situation will understand that women blame themselves for their partners cheating and straying. Why? Because we care too much? Maybe we're too fat or not blonde enough?

Therefore, not acknowledging they have been unfaithful and might just do it again, is easier than admitting that in actual fact: they will never change, that grand old saying: 'Once a player always a player.' Maybe this is what Cheryl is doing? By taking him back, she is not accepting that he might just do it again.

I'm not saying that us girls don't do the same. But we punish ourselves more don't we?

Maybe because we are more maternal, dating right back to the caveman times:

Men were made to reproduce and spread the seed (and don't we just know it, but guys this is not an excuse), where as women are inevitably stuck with the caring emotional side of things (fucking brilliant isn't it).
So basically its just one big circle. How can we win? How can we hold our men down? Maybe we'll never know?

A good Wife knows her place!


The 1955 Good House Wifes Guide states some simple and yet ludicrous rules about keeping your man happy, but it seems new research shows how men may want someone who's not such a pushover.


Good news really, i'm not really the kind of girl that keeps her mouth shut when i don't agree with someone, or even when i do agree with someone for that matter. In a modern western world where most women are encouraged to equal and exceed whats expected of men. Sometimes i do believe that most women are expected to take on a lot more. Being a housewife is now considered archaic, apparently looking after the home and kids isn't work enough. the government is constantly pushing mothers to get back into work. Awarding those that do with a lot more help and money.
I won't go on but maybe mothers that aren't there to bring up their kids properly are the reason a lot of children are growing in to a world with little respect for adults. Please excuse the rant and do leave your opinions if you feel differently!



A new survey at The Ideal Home show reveals that men are still looking for a good cook. 48 per cent of them in fact. while 59 per cent say they would respect a woman who stood up to them, while 69 per cent secretly want their own City Slicker.



good news ladies, but having a look over those Good Housewifes Guides here are a few simple rules to have a laugh at.


  • Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.


  • Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.
  • Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.


  • Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.


  • Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

  • A good wife always knows her place.


Remember ladies know your place!!!


Who cares?


Illegal immigrants and refugees facing domestic violence and other kinds of abuse, can not seek the help from the government due to their status in the U.K.


This comes from a report today from amnesty international, who are hoping to change government policy against refugee women and immigrants.


Its sickening that although they are illegal immigrants, they are here for a reason, a better life? better education? better job? They still have human rights.


I cant believe that these women are being domestically abused and cannot seek any aid, because Government 'policies' do not cover these 'type' of women.


Their women all the same. Who gives a shit about what it says on a piece of paper. Clearly they need help.


An interim emergency fund is to be set up in aid of these women being refused emergency refuge, by Southhall black sisters along with Amnesty International.


This report today, showed that women entering the UK effected by abuse, were in the same situation, in which they were refused help... despite having a valid visa, these included temporary workers and international students. Now how can that be justified?


How would this shit shovelling treatment make any want to live in this country? I do not know.


Aspirin is a girls best friend...


A new study has shown that taking aspirin reduces asthma in women.

The pain killer drug can prevent the disease by up to a 10Th. This study has been carried out on 40,000 women over the last ten years, and is a new hope for the prevention of the disease.


Taken as a pain killer, aspirin has also been proved to reduce the risk of heart problems.

Asthma which attacks the respiratory system, effects over 5.2 million people in Britain alone.

Women are apparently more venerable due to cleaning products used: How sexest... but true. The study shows pregnant women who use products such as bleach and air fresheners are most likely to give birth to babies with breathing problems.


So ladies, time to get down that chemist and stock up!

Could your IBS actually be Ovarian Cancer?


Rosie McLaughlin, 50 was told she was suffering with IBS but she knew something more sinister was wrong. Rosie, a general practice nurse asked a collegue to take some blood tests and the results were horrifying.


Rosie said, "I knew from my work that doctors who suspected that a patient had ovarian cancer would test their blood for a protein called CA-125, and although it wasn't 100 per cent accurate, an elevated result would prompt them to do further tests."


When the results came back it showed Rosie had levels of 800. a normal womans CA-125 levels should be about 35.


Rosie then went to her doctor to be told she needed a pelvic examination and an ultrasound but the waiting time was 8 weeks. Her husband had no choice but to pay for it privately. Rosie's husband john said, ""Not everyone is in a position to pay £375 for a private scan like me. That means women's lives are being put at risk because their symptoms are not being taken seriously.


It's now been 3 months since the treatment and rosie is on the mend.She said, "My level is down to eight, and I'm feeling fantastic, even my hair has grown back. "



The problem is most doctors have about 5 minutes to diagnose you,and ovarian cancer is often diagnosed as IBS because the symptoms - including bloated tummy, frequent urination and tiredness - are pretty much the same!


Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, with only a third of the 7,000 women diagnosed each year surviving, but if its coaught within early stages 95 per cent of cases are treatable.


Most of ovarian cancer cases are in women over the age of 40.However there are some types of ovarian cancer appear in women from the age of 20 onwards.


So if you have been diagnosed with IBS and you feel something is just not right, medication isn't helping, it may just be worth pushing your doctor for more tests.


Here are some symptons to look out for:


Feeling full persistently

Difficulty eating

Abdominal pain

Pelvic pain

Bloating

Increased size of abdomen

Increased need to urinate


Look out for any sudden changes like:

Abnormal vaginal bleeding

Changes in bowel habit

Excessive tiredness

Indegestion and nausea

A new meaning to the phrase ' A Healthy sex life'

So we've already established that sex is great for beating Migraines, but now top docs are telling us that sex is the new aerobics. An article in The Sun today is telling us to have more sex, no suprise really considering the paper as near enough a porno!

Specifically sex in the morning. So you wake up, you and your partner may have that breath where you're pretty sure something may have pooped in your mouth during the night, and now they expect us to start getting randy!

Queen’s University in Belfast has found that a good session can burn up to 300 calories, thats the equivalent to an egg mcmuffin! The scientists have also proved that sex 3 times a week can halve your chances of a heart attack and stroke as well as boost circulation and help your immunity against rubbish illnesses like the cold!

Best get to it ladies, just think you won't feel guilty getting that egg mcmuffin on the way to work!
