BIG BROTHER: Alex Accuses Mohamed Of Mocking Muslim Faith

There was tension in the Big Brother house yesterday after part of Mohamed’s Diary Room chat about Alex’s Muslim-driven refusal to take part in his birthday celebrations were accidentally aired to the rest of the house.

Having thrown a cross-dressing party for the housemates, Alex took offence and refused to dress up as a man claiming that it went against her Muslim beliefs.

She then accused Mohammed of not abiding by his religion, and went on an angry tirade after hearing part of his private chat broadcast in the house.

Alex heard Big Brother ask him: "How did it make you feel that Alexandra didn't join in tonight?"

The Accounts Exec initially laughed but then quickly fumed: "Oh my f*cking gosh. I'm getting p*ssed off with that sh*t, why is it always me?"

When Mohamed returned from his chat, she confronted him by shouting: "I don't expect you to be wearing tights, a bra, and a face full of slap. Some things are going too far. That's why I said 'How would your mother feel?' You know there are some things we shouldn't be doing."

Mohamed replied: "At the end of the day, this is me. I'm not gay, I'm straight. I'm having fun with my friends. I'm enjoying myself."

Alex then asked him about what she had overheard saying: "Did you think that it was alright to single me out in the Diary Room then? Well, did ya?"

As Alex became increasingly aggressive, Big Brother called her into the Diary Room before things got out of hand.

Will the housemates ever rest while Alex in still in the house? Be sure to leave your comments below.

Spoonie Gee was the nephew of ex-serviceman R&B producer Bobby Robinson and one of the earlier rap artists. He was known as the "love knocker," an mental image that was established by his first-class honours degree track record, "Love Rap," released on his uncle's Enjoy label as the flip side of the Treacherous Three's "The New Rap Language." The volume of early rap records reproduced an MC's party turn with a loose sequence of tale, jactitation, and call and response. Spoonie's initial picnic, however, organized a hip-hop styled record book around a amatory theme, coming closer to the lyrical norms of pop euphony. The informal "Love Rap" was accompanied only by drum go down and congas, and Spoonie's side by side record continued in a likewise minimalist mineral vein. The voice over on 1979's "Spoonin' Rap" stuck to more conventional old school jactitation simply looks onward to the gangsta attitude in its gaol references. "Spoonin' Rap" was as well prophetic in its habit of flexatone and heavily echoed voice, suggesting the Jamaican connection that was denied in early interviews by some of the rap originators. In 1980, Spoonie collaborated with Sequence on a classical exclusive, "Monster Jam," credibly the last good Book on the series of "Near Times"/"Another One Bites the Dust" variations, and a classical in the Sugar Hill vein, complete with a bone-crushing bass line and ecstatic crowd noises.

To say that Mary Lou Williams had a long and productive career is an understatement. Although for decades she was often called jazz's superlative distaff instrumentalist (and one has to admire what mustiness have been a around-the-clock struggle against sexism), she would have been considered a major creative person no matter what her sex activity.


Just the fact that Williams and Duke Ellington were about the entirely pace pianists to modernize their elan through the years would have been enough to guarantee her a place in idle words history books. Williams managed to invariably good modern during a half-century life history without forgetting her roots or how to play in the sr. styles.


Born Mary Elfrieda Scruggs (although she soon took the appoint of her stepfather and was known as Mary Lou Burley), she taught herself the piano by ear and was playing in public at the age of six. Growing up in Pittsburgh, Williams' animation was always filled with music. When she was 13, she started working in vaudeville, and trio days later marital saxist John Williams. They moved to Memphis, and she made her debut on records with Synco Jazzers. John soon joined Andy Kirk's orchestra, which was based in Kansas City, in 1929. Williams wrote arrangements for the set, filled in for an absent pianist on Kirk's first gear recording session, and finally became a fellow member of the orchestra herself. Her arrangements were largely responsible for the band's typical sound and eventual success. Williams was soon recognised as Kirk's top soloist, a pace pianist wHO impressed everyone (even Jelly Roll Morton). In addition, she wrote such songs such as "Roll 'Em" (a killer strike for Benny Goodman) and "What's Your Story Morning Glory" and contributed arrangements to other vainglorious bands, including those of Goodman, Earl Hines, and Tommy Dorsey.


Madonna Lou Williams stayed with Kirk until 1942, by which time she had divorced John Williams and married trumpeter Harold "Shorty" Baker. She co-led a combo with Baker before he joined Duke Ellington. Williams did some writing for Duke (to the highest degree notably her rearrangement of "Racy Skies" into a horn struggle called "Sarracenia flava No End") and played briefly with Benny Goodman's bebop radical in 1948. She had step by step modernized her style and by the other to mid-'40s was actively supporting the lester Willis Young modernists wHO would lead the bop revolution, including Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Tadd Dameron, and Dizzy Gillespie. Williams' "Zodiac Suite" showed turned some of her modern ideas, and her "In the Land of Oo-Bla-Dee" was a bebop allegory recorded by Gillespie.


Hank Williams lived in Europe from 1952-1954 and so became very involved in the Catholic religious belief. She retired from music for a few years in front appearing as a guest with Dizzy Gillespie's orchestra at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival. Williams returned to nothingness and by the early '70s sounded more than like a pres Young average player (intelligibly she was familiar with McCoy Tyner) than a subsister of the twenties. Although she did non tutelage for the vanguard, she once in a while played quite freely, although a 1977 duet concert with Cecil Taylor was a nail debacle. Williams wrote deuce-ace people and a cantana, was a star at Benny Goodman's 40th-anniversary Carnegie Hall concert in 1978, taught at Duke University, and ofttimes planned her later concerts as a history of jazz recital. By the time she passed away at the eld of 71, she had a name of accomplishments that could birth filled three lifetimes.


The Virgin Lou Williams recorded through the years as a leader for many labels including Brunswick (a geminate of pianoforte solos in 1930), Decca (1938), Columbia, Savoy, extensively for Asch and Folkways during 1944-1947, Victor, King (1949), Atlantic, Circle, Vogue, Prestige, Blue Star, Jazztone, her possess Mary label (1970-1974), Chiaroscuro, SteepleChase, and eventually Pablo (1977-1978).

Dead Meadow's singular marriage of Sabbath riffs, languorous layers of guitars bull blissfulness, and vocalist Jason Simon's high-pitched melodic croon sustain wond over both psychedelic pop/rock and stoner-rock fans likewise. Although the band's members met patch attending all-ages punk shows in and around Washington D.C.'s punk/indie scene, the trio's sound draws more than of their sound from such classic rock legends as Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath. The trio formed in the diminish of 1998 out the ashes of local indie rock bands The Impossible Five and Coulour by singer-guitarist Jason Simon, bassist Steve Kille, and drummer Mark Laughlin. The three members pose out to fuse their love of early 70's difficult rock and 60's psychedelia with their love of fantasy and horror writers J.R.R. Tolkien and H.P. Lovecraft.


They released their six-song debut album in 1999 on Fugazi bassist Joe Lally's Tolotta Records and a joint vinyl release on D.C. indie label Planaria Records. Then in 2001 the band released its arcsecond and third albums, Howls from The Hills and Dead Meadow, on Tollotta Records. In a sanely inadequate period the D.C. trio received offers to tour of duty with everyone from local D.C. flower people The Make-Up to seedy psychedelic bikers Brian Jonestown Massacre; eventually, they landed the opening slot for high profile indie veterans Guided by Voices. The mathematical group was besides invited to record live for long clip newspaper clipping edge British wireless personality John Peel for BBC Radio One. Got Live If You Want It! arrived in 2002; that year, the ring missed Laughlin and found a unexampled drummer in Stephen McCarty. The band touched to Matador for 2003's breakthrough Shivering King and Others. Cory Shane coupled the ring in meter for 2005's Feathers.

Singer Amy Winehouse left the rehab clinic where she is being treated for a short time yesterday in order to apply for a US visa.
According to reports, Winehouse left her London clinic for a few hours to meet with officials at the US Embassy.

"Amy was accompanied by a nurse as the appointment was under supervision. She has not left rehab and remains under the care of the clinic."
