Simon Cowell eyes up Obama’s limousine

the-beast-limo

X Factor boss Simon Cowell was so impressed by President Barack Obama’s armoured limo during his recent visit to the UK and Ireland that the music mogul has reportedly asked to have his own bomb proof Cadillac especially made.

Simon Cowell’s spokesperson, the well known celebrity publicist Max Clifford, spoke out this week to confirm that the multi millionaire has enquired into the possibility of commissioning his own armoured limousine, just like the President of America.

Obama’s limo, known as The Beast, was shipped over to the UK from the States ahead of the President’s recent visit to the British Isles. The limo was made especially for the President and features a whole raft of high tech safety details including an armoured fuel tank, puncture resistant tyres, bullet proof glass, and much of the vehicle is covered in military grade armour.

If Simon Cowell has already placed hire order for his very own Beast limo, he’ll have quite a while to wait as the limousine will take months, maybe even up to a year, to complete.

Despite offering a level safety unrivalled by other limos, the Beast did get into a spot of bother during the President’s trip to Ireland when the Cadillac got stuck on a speed bump. Luckily, Obama’s blushes were spared as he wasn’t actually travelling onboard at the time.

Glee popularises the school prom in the UK

prom-1

It has been claimed this week that hit TV shows such Glee are responsible for popularising the growing trend for school proms, with one hotel chain in the UK reporting a 500% increase in bookings for school proms over the last year alone.

The trend for glitzy end of year school proms events has been growing steadily over the course of the last few years, however with TV programmes such as the US show Glee, and High School the Musical promoting the glamorous world of school proms on TV screens, youngsters in the UK are more determined than ever to have big prom experience.

A survey by the hotel chain, Holiday inn, found that on average each teen attending a school prom will spend £244, while 1 in 10 prom goers will spend £500 and 2% will spend over £1,500.

As well as the all-important prom dress, accessories, and suit hire, parents are also having to fork out for luxury transport to the event, often in the form of a chauffeur driven limo, or in some cases a helicopter. Limo Hire companies are reporting record bookings for prom dates throughout the UK, with some of the most popular prom dates booking out 6 months in advance.

Another expense for prom-goers is the cost of make-up artists and hairdressers with many groups of girls choosing to have costly pamper parties before heading out for their school prom.

Following the results of their recent survey, Holiday Inn has created a prom package to help ease the financial burden for parents of prom kids. For just £18 a head, Holiday Inn are offering a stylish prom party on a budget with venue hire at any of their hotels across the country, a glass of bubbly on arrival, DJ entertainment and also a finger buffet.

Queen’s limo to go under the hammer in the States

The 1984 Daimler limousine was custom made for her Majesty the Queen

The 1984 Daimler limousine was custom made for her Majesty the Queen

A 1984 Daimler Limousine custom made especially for the Queen is due to go up for auction in the United States during the Pebble Beach weekend in California. It will be the first time a former Royal car has been offered publically for sale in America.

The luxury Daimler limo was built to the Queen’s specific requirements and even has a rear bench area for her pet corgis to travel. A number of other special features can be found onboard including a communications system which was advanced technology for the time when the vehicle was designed.

It’s been revealed that the new limo underwent a 2,000 mile test run before finally being delivered to her Majesty at Buckingham Palace. This was done so as to allow the mechanics and engineers time to finely tune to the state of the art vehicle to ensure the Queen wouldn’t run into any difficulties with her new ride.

According to reports, the Queen would often do away with her official chauffeur and instead, choose to get behind the wheel of the Daimler herself. Sometimes it might be for a trip out around London, or occasionally her Majesty would drive to one of her other residences in the UK.

The Daimler Double Six Long Base Saloon will be on display before going under the hammer at the renowned motor event, Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California. It’s estimated the Queen’s former personal car will fetch between £60,000 and £80,000.

Music industry shocked and saddened by death of ex-Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable

The ex 'Phonics drummer was discovered dead at his Aberdare home this morning

The ex 'Phonics drummer was discovered dead at his Aberdare home this morning

Tributes have been pouring in today for the former Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable after the news broke that the musician had been found dead at his home in Aberdare in the early hours of this morning.

Police were called to the address and found the body of the 40-year-old at his home, named Cable Castle, at approximately 5:30am. The cause of death has not yet been established, although South Wales Police say there are no initial suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.

Cable is best known as one of the founding members of Welsh rock band The Stereophonics whose hits include Local Boy in The Photograph, A Thousand Trees, and a Maybe Tomorrow to name just a few.

The charismatic drummer was sacked from the band in 2003 with the remaining members citing “commitment” issues as their reason for doing so. Phonics front man Kelly Jones, who grew up on the same street as Cable, said the decision to exclude him from the group was “heartbreaking.”

Since leaving the chart topping band, Cable has gone on to forge a career as a radio presenter and started a new band in 2007, Killing For Company, who were due to play at the Download Festival at Donington Park this coming Saturday.

The drummer with the big personality has been remembered fondly by those who knew him. Fellow Welsh musician Cerys Matthews described Stuart as being “generous company” while actor Rob Brydon remembers the musician turned broadcaster as a “lovely, warm, funny, talented man.”
