A very Happy Birthday to the brilliant Rowan Atkinson who turns 60 today. What with Mr Bean, Johnny English and Blackadder – Rowan Atkinson has been making us laugh for years!
The multi-talented actor, comedian and screenwriter is most famous for his sitcoms Mr Bean and Blackadder. The Observer listed him in their 50 Funniest Actors in British Comedy and also amongst the Top 50 Comedians of all time.
Atkinson first appeared in the spotlight in the Oxford Revue at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 1976 and in 1978 he started a series of comedy shows for BBC Radio 3 called the Atkinson People (written by Atkinson, Richard Curtis and produced by Griff Rhys-Jones). However, it was his appearance on Not the Nine O’Clock News from 1979 – 1982 that really introduced him to the world.
Atkinson is known and loved for speaking absurd lines with a completely deadpan delivery, for making the most incredible faces and expressions and for making hilarious fun of himself. News is just out today (January 6) that Atkinson will don tights for the first time since Blackadder to feature in the upcoming sixth series of the BBC’s historical comedy children’s show, Horrible Histories, playing Henry VII.
We don’t know much about his personal life, he has managed quite successfully to keep that private – but we do know that he loves cars, and with an estimated fortune of approximately £85 million, he is able to indulge his passion. He owns an Mclaren F1, Renalut 5 GT Turbo, Austin Metro, Audi A8 and a Honda Civic Hybrid, to name just a few. He is obsessed with cars but hates Porsche: “I have a problem with Porsches. They’re wonderful cars, but I know I could never live with one. Somehow, the typical Porsche people – and I wish them no ill – are not, I feel, my kind of people. I don’t go around saying that Porsches are a pile of dung, but I do know that psychologically I couldn’t handle owning one.”
In celebration of Atkinson’s birthday we have gathered together some of our favourite funny moments from the last 30 years. To watch these videos in a playlist, scroll to the bottom of the post.

Our favourite funny actor turns 40 today – Happy Birthday to the amazing Bradley Cooper! The only appropriate thing to do today, in celebration of his birthday, is to laugh! Laughter is very infectious, so just in case any of you are feeling down today, this clip of Bradley and Jimmy Fallon should get you laughing in a few seconds!
Bradley made his acting debut in 1999 in an episode of Sex in the City. He then went on to star in Wet Hot American Summer, Wedding Crashers, Failure to Launch and He’s Just Not That Into You before breaking through with 2009’s The Hangover. He was nominated for an Oscar in 2012 for Silver Linings Playbook and again a year later for American Hustle.
Last year he was the voice of Rocket the Racoon in Guardians of the Galaxy and is currently starring in the Broadway show The Elephant Man. Critics are calling him the Best Elephant Man yet. According to the Los Angeles Times The Elephant man grossed approximately 1.1 million dollars in the last week of December alone. Bradley’s latest movie is American Sniper which grossed 850,000 in the opening week – which was amazing considering that it only opened in New York and LA – the movie will be released throughout America on January 16.
Cooper has suffered problems with alcohol but has been sober since 2004. “Bradley isn’t perfect,” says Todd Phillips, who directed him in the Hangover trilogy. “What I will say about Bradley is how evolved he is. I think it’s because he’s gone through a lot of stuff and a lot of struggle. People respond to that in different ways. The way he responds to that is by constantly evolving. He internalizes it in a way and turns it into evolution.He’s been up and been down,” she goes on. “He has really lived, for sure, but he also has managed to hold on to his child-like innocence. There’s something about him that is very pure.”

The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture. The latest 37th edition, held at the beginning of last month at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, honoured ballerina Patricia McBride, singer-songwriter Sting, singer Al Green, comedienne Lily Tomlin and actor and filmmaker Tom Hanks. President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama presided over the star-studded gala and the honorees sat with them in the presidential box. The honorees don’t have to give acceptance speeches or perform, and they don’t know who is paying tribute to them in advance. “Allow us to love you,” host Steven Colbert said. “Tonight, Washington puts the arts above politics, because no matter what party you belong to, everyone wants a selfie with Tom Hanks,” Colbert said.
President Obama stated in his introductory speech: “The group on stage with me tonight understands what President Kennedy understood: that our art is a reflection of us not just as people, but as a nation. It binds us together. Songs and dance and film express our triumphs and our faults, our strengths, our tenderness in ways that sometimes words simply cannot do. And so we honor those who have dedicated their lives to this endeavor.”
The event conveys such a lot of warmth and appreciation for those being honoured and quite a lot of fun and giggles as well as you watch the celebrity attendees behaving like real groupies at a One Direction concert.
Just being there, Al Green said, “means the world to me.” The 68-year-old soul singer turned Baptist preacher said the honor was different from selling millions of records or winning multiple Grammys. “I worked 40 years to get this one.”
This has to be broadcast TV’s classiest show and the star-studded celebration on the Kennedy Center stage was a sight to behold. We’ve collected together our favourite performances from the show – ones you’ll want to keep in your collection. If you would prefer to listen to the songs in a playlist format – no problem, scroll to the bottom of the page for that.

In our opinion it was Bruno Mars who stole the show with his musical tribute to Sting. Mars kicked off his tribute with the 1978 chart topper So Lonely from the Police’s debut album Outlandos d’Amour. He followed this with the 1979 mega hit Message in a Bottle from the Regatta de Blanc album. The cast of Sting’s broadway musical The Last Ship then joined Mars on stage for the “Sending out an SOS” part of the song – which was quite a real surprise for Sting. Soon enough Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and President Obama were singing along, as were the rest of the audience.
Lady Gaga’s performance of If I Ever Lose My Faith in You to honor Sting was a powerful, heartfelt rendition. She changed the words to “If I ever lose my faith in you/oh, it would sting, how it would sting.”
Another highlight for us was when Pentatonix hit the stage to honour actor Tom Hanks with a great performance from his 1997 film of the same name, which is the story of a boy band that rises to fame from the success of the catchy track That Thing You Do.
Just before Christmas, singer-songwriter Louisa Wendorff posted a cover mash-up of Taylor Swift’s 1989 hits Blank Space and Style on her YouTube page. A few days after Christmas Taylor Swift saw it and fell in love with it. She posted it on her Twitter, Facebook and Google+ accounts – stating to her 49.7 million followers on Twitter that she was OBSESSED with it. Watch it for yourself and you’ll see why. It’s absolutely beautiful.
Wendorff and fellow Nashville-based songwriter Devin Dawson stand back-to-back in this Taylor Swift Mash-Up, playing both songs unplugged and creating a unique love song all of their own. Swift is spot on with her obsession over this song – it’s a wondrous rendition that you’ll love to watch again and again. Wendorff and Dawson’s voices compliment each other so well turning the two pop songs into something quite serene and other-worldly.
Naturally, now that Ms Swift has given the song her stamp of approval, the video is getting the attention it deserves. At the time of writing it has gained 5.8 million views in just 10 days.
As you can imagine, Wendorff was over the moon with Swift’s reaction – she literally lost her breath when she saw the news and posted a pic to her Twitter to prove it.
The Weeknd always makes for a great sex jam and his new single Earned It which features on the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack is no exception. The sultry track has debuted at Nº2 on R&B digital songs, shifting 92,000 downloads last week, according to Nielsen Music. The track also hit its debut at No. 15 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, which is The Weeknd’s highest debut ever on the Billboard chart.
The Weeknd has built his name around being mysteriously cool and erotic so associating himself with Fifty Shades Of Grey seems like a smart career move. Abel Tesfaye is playing up to his image with this track which sounds like it could have come from one of those 80s erotic thrillers. Lyrics include, “You deserve it/ The way you work it/ ‘Cause girl you earned it. It’s different, but at the same time, it’s not.”
The soundtrack to Fifty Shades Of Grey will also feature an alternate version of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Crazy in Love. The film is due to hit cinemas on Valentines Day.
The Weeknd performed on New Year’s Eve at Miami’s Fountainebleau Miami Beach and songs included Or Nah with Ty Dolla $ign, Remember Me with Wiz Khalifa and Love Me Harder with Ariana Grande. It seems that the Weeknd is easing himself slowly but surely into stardom.
The first Friday of 2015 can’t be taken too seriously…so here’s a donut-inspired hilarious parody of Uptown Funk by the guys at Sorted Food. It’s perfect! It even includes a recipe for making the delicious donuts – which is pretty handy seeing as by the time you’ve finished watching this you’ll be craving hot, fresh, donuts!
Uptown Funk has taken the world by storm so it’s no surprise that ’The Internet’ has produced some amazing parodies. This one however, is our favourite – firstly because it’s one of the grooviest songs of 2014 and secondly it’s about our favourite guilty pleasure!
Sorted Food is one of the world’s largest communities of food lovers. They are a “Global Community of people who love chatting about food” or so it says on their Facebook page. The guys seem to do a hell of a to more than just chat about food though. They have video recipes, gorgeous photos and even an app that’s available to download on the App Store.
Sorted was started a few years ago by a group of friends based in London and their conversations about food have grown to include people from all over the world who contribute ideas, tips and tricks for improving what they eat.
Last year Sorted won the New Media Award from the Guild of Food Writers, two years ago they won the Education Website of the Year and before that they were voted the Best Online Entertainment Program by BNFF World Media. Oh, and they have also been Shorty Award Finalists in the Food Category for the last three years.
Saturday Night Live is one of the funniest and longest running comedy TV shows of all time. It began back in 1975 and is now in its fortieth season on NBC! The show has been the launch to many a long and successful career in comedy and film. Some of the best known names in show business have come from a Saturday Night Live background. For example; Chevy Chase, James Belushi, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, Joan Cussack, Robert Downey Jr., and more recently Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Mike Myers, Jimmy Fallon to name but a few of the regular cast. Justin Timberlake’s acting career could well have been assisted by the performances he has given on the show. The following is a list of all the most current pop stars to have appeared on or hosted the show in the last ten years, and their comedy skits.
LADY GAGA: Hosted the show on November 16 2013. She playfully sang one of her own songs with new words to suit the opening of the show and featured throughout the programme in different skits. Gaga has appeared a few times and has the ability to laugh and make fun of herself and the industry while still showing off her musical talents…
MILEY CYRUS: took a shot at hosting the show in October 2013. She poked fun at her own twerkiness and raunchy new attitude as well as her old country ways. Her controversial performances were the subject of the following skit…
JUSTIN BIEBERas host featured him appearing in nearly all the skits throughout the show and in a few of them impersonated Miley Cyrus, the following though is of him as a nerdy presenter…
BRUNO MARStook a turn at hosting and performing on the show and did a hilarious skit as a girl named Melody…yes this is really him! He also performed his latest track, New Wild Girls for the first time on the show. The second video is a skit called Sad Mouse…check out Bruno’s first attempt at comedy!
Here’s a couple of TAYLOR SWIFT’s best moments as host on SNL in 2013. She also does a good job of laughing at herself whilst writing a cute little song to introduce the show, her musical monologue goes really well, her comedy timing is great and shows that she’s a pretty good little actress too…
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has appeared on and hosted SNL a few times but here are a few of my favourite videos of his. He has so much talent for acting, singing, dancing and here we also see his superlative comedy skills.
One person who it could be questionable as to whether they could take on comedy, especially as a reflection of self is JENNIFER LOPEZ. But, here she is hosting Saturday Night Live and doing a great job of not being a diva! She even comes on stage in her bathrobe…until she strips off to her Versace.
The December 6 2014 episode, hosted by James Franco, saw NICKI MINAJ showcasing her comedy chops and celebrity impersonation skills. The highlight was the Jingle Ballerz Special skit, a hip-hop version of the Nativity Story with many of SNL featured players pretending to be rap all-stars. It would have easy for Minaj to just play herself but instead she gave a Flawless impersonation of Beyoncé. The second skit – not quite as good as the Beyoncé impersonation – but excellent nonetheless was the Kim Kardashian impersonation. Minaj rivalled Franco in terms of screen time on the episode plus she performed three songs from her Pinkprint album.
Last but sort of not least on the list is our California Girl KATY PERRY as host on the show. She is seen here on a Finnish TV show…and later on Bronx Beat bouncing her boobies in an Elmo T-Shirt…
As we glide into the new year (hopefully leaving behind the tacky trail of mainstream songs and music videos which have been largely about big butts and twerking them) we can start to celebrate the great new sounds that some truly talented song writers and, quite frankly, underrated artists have created. Watch out for these guys in 2015!

George The Poet
A runner up in the Brit Awards for Critic’s Choice Awards 2015, George The Poet is a North West Londoner climbing the fame ladder. He always makes a point to send a strong positive message to his listeners. These are the kind of hip-hop artists we want the youth to be listening to. He’s studied politics at cambridge while pursuing the most important thing he can do; performing his poetry. Oh, and his smile is to die for!
Genre: electronica. A three-man show, also from London, also shortlisted for the 2015 BRIT Awards – Critics Choice Award. The trio consists of keyboardist Olly, bassist Mikey and synth player Emre. What’s so great about them you ask? Just check them out:
The one who beat George The Poet and Years & Years to the first award of the season. Just a 23 year old from Hertfordshire with raw talent, an intriguing ‘chiselled by angels’ look, and a knees-weakening husky voice. How’s that for contrast? Oh, and he’s majorly skilled with his hands. (Guitar… what did you think?)
Until The Ribbon Breaks (awesome name isn’t it?) is another British trio that might not have as much recognition as Years & Years, but their music is like a fine wine you never knew could taste so good. The band consisting of Peter, Elliot and James just recently produced a goose-bump inducing cover of Blondie’s hit song One Way Or Another. The cover was featured on one of the latest episodes of Stalker, CBS’ new chilling series. We just have a feeling about this band.
You say you a gangsta, that don’t impress me none – are the famous lyrics off her first single, appropriately titled Gangsta. This fierce rapper with cuban roots is all about the passion in life and she expresses that through her music (which she writes herself.) What we find intriguing is the fusion of her seemingly mainstream beats with these razor sharp lyrics and unique aggressive flow. Her album My Garden has it’s release date set for January 13 of 2015. She absolutely classifies as an up-and-coming in our books. A lot of people say she sounds like Miley Cyrus. Well, all press is good press right?
If you don’t know who Buck 65 is, we are so glad to be the introducer. Deep, intelligent and rough is one way to describe his music. More like a diamond in the rough that you never want cutting or polishing because it’s flawless as it is. In his most recent release Super Pretty Naughty he takes a stab at the mainstream mayhem of the music industry in this day and age. We found it hilarious and actually really good. There seems to be so much that needs explaining about him, but it’s always best to let the music do that for itself.
Fink, aka Fin Greenall, is a singer/songwriter/producer. Earlier on in his career he worked with a 17 years young Amy Winehouse of all people, and that’s a fond memory he carries with him to this day. He dabbles in the genres of blues, dub, folk and indie. Indie is where we found him, and where we fell in love. His song Looking Too Closely was competing for Song of The Year 2014 and blew up when it was featured in an episode of USAs Network hit series Suits. He will be touring globally throughout 2015 and hopefully showcasing new material. Watch his space.
This jazz-trained group of folk from Norway came together after their musical studies and formed one of the best groups in todays ‘underground’ indie scene. The fab five consisting of two gals, Ingrid and Marte, and three guys, Kristoffer, Øystein and Trond, recently have been nominated for 3 Norwegian Grammy Awards and have already had their album Silent Treatment named Album of the Year as well as their song Leaving No Traces named Song of the Year in Norway. They’ve undoubtedly been causing waves in the industry since their latest album release and we only see them moving on up from here. We had the pleasure of interviewing them for one of our Sunday Sessions earlier this winter. Check it out here.
Not much has to be said about this artist. He’s not exactly a rising star, already being at the top and all and he shouldn’t really be in this list. We just had to have his new song i on our New Sounds for 2015 playlist though. This refreshing, uplifting and brutally honest track is one that will shape hip-hop and rap throughout 2015. Touching on some real trials and tribulations, it keeps a beautiful message throughout. Let’s all make a new years resolution to love ourselves. Time to get your dancing shoes on!
2014 was, without a doubt, The Year of the Butt. During 2014 the derrière was celebrated and exploited. It was quite offensive at times and revolutionary at others. Most of the time though we were subjected to more butts than brains. Pop music was obsessed with booty in 2014 – but whose booty was the best?
We review the Year of the Butt and present here our top bootylicious music videos – in order of booty magnificence.
( Just tap any title to watch the video in Creation 5)
An incredible 352,395,870 people have viewed this video since its release on 19 August, 2014. When the cover art for the single was released the world was shocked – but no one knew what was in store for them when the music video came out a few weeks later. It made the cover artwork look like the Disney Channel. Gyrating butt cheeks, small stringy thongs – basically borderline pornographic.
Lyrical Highlights:“My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns, hun” / “Oh my gosh, look at her butt” / “I got a big fat ass (ass, ass, ass)”
Anaconda is the only rival for this butt-tastic visual. There is a staggering amount of butt shaking and close up twerking shots. It’s insane. So. Many. Butts.
Lyrical Highlights:“I can put it right there in your hands”
This bootylicious video is a strong contender for the top honours as it has not one, but two delicious butts! Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea go cheek-to-cheek in this steamy visual. It’s even named Booty for goodness sake! Perhaps it’s a little too much and falls into the ‘more butt than brains’ category..?
Lyrical Highlights:“Throw up your hands if you love a big booty”
With her classy cheeks on full display Queen B showed us that even music royalty should feel no shame about exposing their derrières – if they’re hot enough, of course. The Sexiest Woman Alive delighted millions who watched her perform this song during her On the Run Tour this summer.
Lyrical Highlight: “Ya man ain’t never seen a booty like this”
Jason Derulo begged butts worldwide to do some serious wiggling. Since the videos release, 7 months ago, this butt-filled video has notched up over 429 million views. It has also earned the dubious honour of being one of the Top 5 songs in America this year. A fact that is both spectacular and scary at the same time.
Lyrical Highlight:“You know what to do with that big fat butt”
Released at the beginning of 2014, this video started the year off in the way it was to continue. With over 455 million views and causing a scandal on release this is one of our favourite booty fests. And who can choose between Shakira and Rihanna’s butt? Impossible. Best thing to do is to have both, right?
Lyrical Highlight:“I go back again /Fall off the train /Land in his bed”
Is it possible to make a bionic butt? Maybe it is, but can it twerk and wiggle in the right way? Does it move in a realistic way when you slap it? Basement Jaxx get scientific and spend a lot of time starring at real and bionic butts in this conceptually brilliant visual.
Lyrical Highlights:“Like a vision of love / You came, you stood / You blew right through me”
While Meghan might not have revealed her butt like everyone else on this list she is bringing booty back, that’s for sure. Trainor created a new kind of booty-self-confidence with her mega-hit. Released in June, it has over 443 million views on YouTube.
Lyrical Highlights:“I’m bringing booty back/Go ahead and tell them skinny b*tches that”
Last on our list is Taylor Swift with her magnificent video for the sensational hit of 2014. Like Meghan Trainor, Taylor doesn’t actually expose her derrière but she certainly shakes it enough! Plus, she crawls through a tunnel of twerking butts, so we consider that it’s only fair she has a place on this list. Bouncing booty is just one of the many trends that Miss Swift must navigate.
Lyrical Highlight:“Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake”
