The new father joined the leader of South Korea, President Park Geun-hye, in unveiling a war memorial at Victoria Embankment Gardens in London.

This is the first time that William has acted on behalf of the reigning monarch during a state visit.

The handsome prince looked immaculate in a suit and coat, and proudly donned his Remembrance Day poppy at Tuesday’s ceremony.

William watched as President Park uncovered the scale model of the Korean War memorial and cut the first turf. The monument is dedicated to the 100,000 British servicemen and women who served in the Cold War conflict, which saw Communist-backed North Korea battle against US-backed South Korea.

The engagement will be William’s only involvement in President Park’s three-day visit.

 

Earlier on in the day, the Queen and Prince Philip welcomed the president at Horseguards Parade. The South Korean leader was treated to a display of British pomp and ceremony and met Prime Minister David Cameron.

Queen Elizabeth and her husband rode with President Park in a horse-drawn carriage to Buckingham Palace, while troops welcomed her with a 41-gun salute on the way. The trio admired an exhibition of Korean-related items in the palace’s Picture Gallery.

 

Tuesday’s ceremony will no doubt have struck a chord with William, who has dedicated the majority of his career to the armed forces.

Soon after the birth of Prince George, William announced that he would retire from his military career to gradually take on more royal duties.

The second-in-line to the throne will be joined by Kate later this week on Thursday when the new parents will meet London Poppy Appeal staff and volunteers at Kensington Palace.

William and Kate to host concert at their new home

05 NOVEMBER 2013 Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly planing a star-studded charity concert to celebrate moving into their new home at Kensington Palace.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who moved into Apartment 1A with Prince George last month, have already lined up Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift to perform at their newly-renovated property, alongside British stars James Blunt and Eliza Doolittle.

 

It has been reported that guests will be welcomed with a champagne reception in the King’s Gallery ballroom and will then sit down to a pre-concert dinner before Bon Jovi kicks off the music in the royal gardens.

Particularly exciting is the news that the event will be open to the public. There will be 500 tickets going on sale priced at £500 each, while 250 will be held as ‘VVIP’ passes, according to the Sunday Times.

The Winter Whites Gala is scheduled to take place on 26 November at the Palace’s State Apartments. All proceeds will go to a cause very close to William and Kate’s heart, the homeless charity Centrepoint.

 

The annual concert is usually held at the Royal Albert Hall — this is the first time that patron William will host the event.

During the fundraiser, he is also set to honour headliner Jon Bon Jovi with the Youth Inspiration Award for his charity work, in recognition of his work to establish the Bon Jovi Soul Foundation.

William is known to be a big fan of Bon Jovi. He famously performed a karaoke cover of the band’s hit Livin On A Prayer at the wedding of his cousin Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall in 2011.

Watch moment Huey Morgan storms off Never Mind The Buzzcocks and smashes mug in bizarre tantrum

5 Nov 2013 08:32

The Fun Lovin’ Criminals frontman lost his temper and shocked fellow celeb guests during the light-hearted music quiz show

This is the shocking moment Huey Morgan smashes his mug and storms off the set of Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

His bizarre behaviour escalated during the iconic next lines round when his band’s lyrics were being used.

The Fun Lovin’ Criminals frontman demolishes the mug on the table into what could only be described as smithereens.

Team captain Phil Jupitus jumps in fear as sharp-edged ceramic narrowly misses him and Laura Whitmore.

Cheeky rap duo Rizzle Kicks remarkably kept cool and made light of the 45-year-old’s temper tantrum as they hosted the quiz show for the first time.

During the final round, Harley and Jordan asked the visibly annoyed 6 Music DJ: “Are you alright with that? You look so upset, man.”

Huey replied: “I’m totally alright with that, I just thought you guys might do something different for a change.”

“It’s part of the game Huey. It’s next lines mate,” replied Jordan.

This dramatic reaction isn’t the first time a celebrity guest has been unhappy with the jokes being made on Buzzcocks.

In 2009, Ordinary Boys singer Preston lost his cool when then host Simon Amstell constantly picked at him.

Lady Gaga And Boyfriend Taylor Kinney End Split Rumours With A Kiss At YouTube Music Awards (PIC)

Lady Gaga and her boyfriend Taylor Kinney made a very public statement that they are still very much an item by sharing a kiss at the YouTube Awards at the weekend.

It was reported that Gaga and the ‘Chicago Fire’ actor had split because of her crazy work schedule but the pair looked more loved up than ever at the bash at New York’s Basketball City on Sunday.

Taylor, 32, even wore a matching checked shirt like Gaga’s to the ceremony where she performed her new single, ‘Dope’.

In November last year, Taylor spoke of his desire to make an honest woman of Gaga.

Gaga with Taylor

“I do want to give mom grandchildren, of course. I think I’d be a good dad, it would be a pleasure. I’d love it – and I’m in my 30s now. My mom wants me to get married, and have children of course,” he said.

“She’s met Gaga, we’ve been dating a while, we’re in a committed relationship and I’m really happy in my relationship. I’m a very lucky guy.”

Geri Halliwell embarrassed as new single flops with less than 400 sales in Australia

5 Nov 2013 06:52

The Former Spice Girl has sold just 393 copies of her new single, Half Of Me

Geri’s new single isn’t doing too well..

twitter

Poor Geri Halliwell. The Australia’s Got Talent judge hasn’t got much… well, talent. And that’s according to the public Down Under.

Despite much hype and a new six-figure record deal with Sony Australia, the former Spice Girl’s single, Half Of Me, isn’t exactly flying off the shelves.

In fact it has sold just 393 copies. That’s nationwide. And Australia is a pretty large continent.

Just to rub salt into the wound, her talent show rival Dami Im – winner of Australia’s X Factor – has debuted at No1, selling 44,025 copies of her single Alive.

In contrast, poor Gezza , 41, scraped into the official Aussie ARIA charts at number 281.

But why such a poor showing?

How could she fail with lyrical beauties such as: “I gave you the finger, and you took me to dinner” and “I thought love was bulls***, only for the foolish”?

Geri with some teddies in her video

twitter

My particular highlight is the line: “I wanna have your babies, gotta have you like crazy” accompanied by scenes of mum-of-one Geri dry humping on the video.

And the video itself is also a big problem.

Produced on a budget (seemingly of about £18), it features Geri dancing and singing with a host of “colourful” characters – all of whom look like they were found on the streets of Sydney and then asked
to mime slightly out of time.

Poor Gez has been trying to revive her career off the back of her judging role on Channel 9 programme Australia’s Got Talent.

Half of Me was even written with producers DNA Songs, who have penned hits for big Aussie star Timomatic and, ironically, Dami Im’s chart-topper Alive.

In retrospect Gezza’s decision to sing live – and not rely on auto-tuning – on the NRL Footy Show last month, though bold, was perhaps not wise. The resulting footage went viral – and not in a good way. Poor, poor Geri…

"Busker singing Bronski Beat hit left stunned as ex-front man Jimmy Somerville stops by...and joins in"

5 Nov 2013 03:31

The musician was playing the British band’s song Smalltown Boy when Somerville heard him and decided to perform an impromptu duet

 

This is the moment a busker singing a hit by Eighties pop group Bronski Beat got the shock of his life when the band’s former frontman Jimmy Somerville stopped to join in.

The musician was playing the British band’s song Smalltown Boy when Somerville heard him and decided to perform an impromptu duet.

The diminutive singer, who appeared to be out walking his dog when he heard the busker looked delighted to join in.

When the pair finished the song the busker asked Somerville “is it you?”

The Eighties star said “it’s me.”

The busker thanked the bald singer as he walked away.

The video has had hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube – demonstrating the enduring popularity of the song and the band.

Somerville helped form Bronski Beat in 1983 before leaving in 1985 to form the Communards – which was also successful in the charts.

Smalltown Boy reached number three in the UK singles chart.

Somerville famously played the main character in the video to the song.

Watch the original video to Smalltown Boy here:
