WHERE'S JOHNNY? DEPP'S STUNT DOUBLE KNOWS + LITTLE NOISE + BRAVO MOBO NOMINEES AKALA AND N-DUBS

EVER wondered what Johnny Depp’s stunt double does when not risking his life to save Hollywood’s most precious cheekbones?
Turns out Pirates of the Caribbean cast member Scott Sener is a musician. He supports Camden band Earth Prayer – fronted by Heidi Jo Hines, daughter of former Wings guitarist and Moody Blues founder member Denny Laine – at a free gig at Scars Studio, 20 Castlehaven Road, Camden Town, on Saturday.
Sener’s invited cast members so keep your eyes peeled for the genuine article – Mr Depp has been known to pop up at the odd underground gig – ask Babybird.

(Can't find a clip of Earth Prayer so here's Heidi Jo Hines on her lonesome).

LETHAL BIZZLE V N-DUBZ - WILL IT EVER END?

The plot thickens...and the row over who came up with the hook to I Need You continues.

Lethal Bizzle Gagged But N-Dubz Take Note, He Don't Hold Grudges

I reported yesterday how Lethal Bizzle's hilarious response video to N-Dubz' claimed "proof" that they were the first to come up with the hook was removed from YouTube.
Not one to be beaten, the resourceful Lethal B sent a twitter message to all his followers including a link to the banned footage.
So I'm happy to announce we have a copy - sadly it won't upload here - so instead here's the link to download it yourself.
If you can work out how to upload it, let me know.

LETHAL BIZZLE GAGGED - BUT N-DUBZ TAKE NOTE, HE DON'T HOLD GRUDGES!

LETHAL Bizzle has been forced to take down his video response to N-Dubz in the row over who came up with the original hook to "I Need You".
The gagged rapper may have been annoyed but he didn't show it last night when he told his twitter followers who appeared to have come up with a mafia-style solution: "Wow! Listen! This ndubz situation is over! Why are people sending me their home addresses lolololololol I'm not 50cent, I'm not that cold."
Perhaps we're on the verge of a fragile peace...or has Lethal B's lawyer just delivered some good news?
Up till now, the Camden trio and Lethal B have been airing their boxfresh laundry in public over twitter and via shaky mobile phone footage on YouTube.
Both sides had the chance to have their say, with the row degenerating into a battle over who's got the best crib. (See previous post)
But sadly the greatest clip - Bizzle's hilarious response, in which the sleighted rapper boasts of his fame, his fortune and his broken Mobo award - has been taken down.
In Bizzle's own words: "So now N DUBZ has got their label to remove my response video! Hmmmm I wonder why? Lololololol BAIT CATS! P.S its too late lolol."
A real loss.
I only hope someone out there has a copy they can send me, it should be treasured.

N-DUBZ v LETHAL BIZZLE - RIGHTS ROW DESCENDS INTO BATTLE OF THE CRIBS - PLUS BIZZLE'S BROKEN MOBO

IS this the UK's version of the East coast/West coast divide?
Thanks to the advent of the dodgy mobile phone vid British rappers can settle their fights in public on Youtube - safer than a drive-by I suppose.

Four days ago N-Dubs' Fazer and Dappy posted their "proof" that they didn't steal the hook for I Need You from Lethal Bizzle, as previously written in this blog (see here)

In the middle of it all, Fazer's film pans round to show off his crib.
Now Lethal B's posted his response on YouTube, but better still is his fightback over who's got the best "yard". Look out for the broken Mobo.
Still can't work out if the whole thing's a wind-up though - it's all relatively polite.
