Interview With World Renowned Conspiracy Theorist Daive Icke

Wednesday, February 27th, 2013

David IckeDavid Icke is one of the worlds most famous conspiracy theorists and an extremely talented English writer and public speaker. He is one of the world’s leading polemicists. An insightful, charismatic and highly intelligent man who has devoted his life to the exposure of what he seeks to unveil as the ‘truth’ behind the modern world. Leaving no stone unturned David has faced down the goliath that is global agenda and control by the new world order.

He is best known for his views on ‘who and what is really controlling the world’ and as a result of his passion for these thoughts and ideas he has written 18 books. David describes himself as the most controversial speaker and author in the world and has attracted a substantial following worldwide, in particular across the political spectrum.

Who or What is Controlling the World?David was a very well known BBC Television sports presenter and spokesman for the Green Party and during this time in 1990 he encountered a psychic who told him he was a true healer placed on Earth for a purpose. Shortly after this, in 1991, David appeared on BBC’s Terry Wogan show stating various predictions which caused huge speculation and from this point in time, his journey continued as he developed his ideas. At the heart of David’s theories lies the idea that a secret group of reptilian humanoids called the Babylonian Brotherhood controls humanity, and that many prominent figures are reptilian. Based on these theories David has written many books, with titles including ‘The Robots’ Rebellion’ (1994), ‘The Biggest Secret’ (1999), ‘Tales from the Time Loop’ (2003) and ‘Human Race Get Off Your Knees – The Lion Sleeps No More’ (2010), as well as a range of DVDs. These books, DVDs and David’s theories have attracted a great deal of attention and interest and he now enjoys huge support globally.

David has a constant stream of new information flowing from the pages of his personal website about his thoughts and opinions on the world today as well as current news, attracting hundreds of thousands of supporters to comment on and praise his work, so it is no wonder he is a highly sought after lecturer worldwide.


Macs caught up with David Icke to find out more about his life, love and work


Q. Describe your current state of mind?

Focussed and very determined to see through what I started in 1990. The world is waking up to the manipulation and control of the many by the few and we are in the midst of enormous change and transformation in the next few years on multiple levels of reality and experience, as humanity not only ‘gets off its knees’, but also remembers its true and infinite nature.

We are not our name, body, job or lifestyle. They are our experience. What we are is consciousness and ever more people around the world are awakening from the hypnotist’s trance and remembering that.

Q. Who or what is the love of your life?

My love is my work – it is a priviledge to do what I do. I live alone and have for years, but my first wife of 29 years, Linda, who has published my books for nearly two decades, is an incredible human being and I feel privileged to know her, too. She has been the most important person in my life by a million miles and bar none.

David-Icke-Exclusive-App

Q. What is your most pronounced character trait?

Determination.

Q. Which trait do you most value in others?

Honesty and integrity.

Q. Which trait do you most deplore in others?

Self-obsession and lack of integrity.

Q. What word or phrase do you most overuse?

Mate. I have a photographic-type memory when it comes to speaking for eight hours without a script about multiple subjects, but I often can’t recall names of people I have known and met personally. So I have tended to call them ‘mate’ when I meet them again until the penny drops of who they are and where I know them from.

‘Hello, mate, sorry, do I know you?’

‘Yes, I’m your son, dad.’

Q. When were you at your happiest?

Today, although I loved watching steam trains as a kid in the 1950s and 60s. I loved that era.

I am a Pop Larkin (Darling Buds of May) waiting to get out and live his life with ‘Ma’ and the kids, but needs must and I have come to terms with the fact that I have other things to do. ‘Pop’ will have to wait for another lifetime.

Q. What talent do you wish that you had?

To be able to sing without clearing the room. My singer-songwriter son, Gareth, has that talent and he certainly didn’t get it from me (or his mum!).

Q. What angers you most in life?

Unfairness and injustice.

Q. Who are your heroes?

Anyone who stands up for what they believe is right irrespective of the consequences.

Q. Who are your favourite artists?

Van Gogh, Constable and my friend, Neil Hague, who illustrates my books with his unique original art – see Neilhague.com

Q. Where would you like to live?

Where I do now – the Isle of Wight. I have been to 52 countries so far and had amazing experiences, but I still say the Isle of Wight. It is ‘home’ to me and I have felt the same since I was a small boy on holiday there from Leicester in the 1950s.

Q. What is your single greatest achievement?

Continuing to speak my truth when most would have run and hide.

Q. What is your motto?

The title of my new book – ‘human race get off your knees’.

Plan B Nominated for Three British Independent Film Awards for Ill Manors

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012

Plan B has bagged three nominations at the British Independent Film Awards for his directorial debut Ill Manors.

The film directed by the part-rapper part-actor, real name Ben Drew, has been nominated in the categories for best debut director and best achievement in production while one of its stars Riz Ahmed has been given a nod for best actor.

Ill Manors will be going up against such British flicks as Sightseers, The Imposter and Broken, which leads the way with nine nominations including Best Film and Best Director.

The list of nominees features a roll call of British acting talent including Dame Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson and Cillian Murphy. Billy Connolly has been nominated in the best supporting actor category for his role in the Dustin Hoffman-directed film Quartet, while Dame Judi Dench is up for best actress for her part in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Dench will be competing against American acting legend Meryl Streep, who scored a nod for playing Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady. Streep won an Oscar for the role this year.

Of the announcement, Chief Executive of the BFI Amanda Nevill said: ‘The BIFAs are the UK’s only awards focusing entirely on independent British films, as such they really help to shine a spotlight on the vast range and breadth of excellence in independent UK filmmaking – helping to promote independent British films to new audiences, and setting a focus on the Best of British just as the international awards season begins.’

The nominees were shortlisted by a jury that included actors Lesley Sharp, Attack The Block star John Boyega and Avengers Assemble star Tom Hiddleston.

Best Dressed – Celebrity Halloween 2012

Monday, October 29th, 2012

Halloween is HERE!

Well, kind of. Ok, so it’s not OFFICIALLY until Wednesday, but that hasn’t stopped the A-List hitting up their local fancy dress store in search of the silliest, sexiest and most downright ridiculous outfits out there. Pictures are already coming through from ‘pre’ Halloween parties over Halloweekend.

Here are our best dressed so far!

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren & Family as the Incredibles

Jessica Alba has an Incredible Halloween with her family. The actress took to Twitter this weekend to showcase she, her husband Cash Warren, and daughters Honor and Haven in their group costume this year as the superhero family from The Incredibles. Top family effort.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel as Angelyne and Dennis Woodruff

The pair were spotted on their way into a costume party last night, dressed as Angelyne, AKA the notorious ‘model’ who bought billboards advertising herself, and Dennis Woodruff, the man known for driving up and down the Sunset Strip with hand-painted signs promoting his self-written, directed, and acted films all over his car!

Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough as Bonnie and Clyde

Bang Bang! Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough were Bonnie & Clyde for the big Beverly Hills bash Friday night. And don’t they just look adorably mischievous here!?! I think however those dogs should win the best dressed award!

Deryck Whibley as ex-wife Avril Lavigne and Ari Cooper as Chad Kroeger!

And the Most HIGHLARIOUS Costume Award goes to…

Deryck Whibley and Ari Cooper!!!

The Sum 41 singer and his model girlfriend dressed up as Deryck’s ex-wife Avril Lavigne and her new fiance — Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger! Deryck really knows how to work a frown! Ha

Think any other celebrity’s Halloween costume will be able to beat the hilarity here??

Paris Hilton and River Viiperi just can’t get enough!

Paris Hilton and her model beau River Viiperi show their Halloween spirit while arriving for Hugh Hefner‘s Halloween party at the Playboy Mansion on Saturday (October 25) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 31-year-old socialite dressed as a fairy, while River, 21, went as a Native American.

The day before, Paris and River also hit up a Halloween party in the style of Alice in Wonderland – Paris as Alice and River as the Mad Hatter.

Tom Cruise is definitely NOT over Scientology

Monday, October 29th, 2012

Earlier in the year it was reported that Tom and the Church of Scientology were seemingly at a crossroad. Last week Pop Trigger did a video report that Tom was ready to leave Scientology. The actor, who has been rumored to be having serious grievances with the controversial teachings of L. Ron Hubbard after his third marriage to Katie Holmes collapsed, and reports that church members were angry because he did not shun Suri – seem to be settled out now, according to Radar Online.

It appears that over the weekend Cruise was letting the world know that he is still a Scientologist. Attending the event would not have spoken the message as clearly as attending wearing his Freedom Medal of Valor award. The award is of significant size, measuring about four inches across, and was created just for Cruise. The medal spoke volumes to the fans that are listening.

Sources at the dinner, which hosted 2,500 guests at $3,000 a plate, reveal:

“Tom was with a girl with cropped black hair who was wearing a red velvet dress. He was seated at a table of 12 in a special VIP area. Many guests approached him to shake his hand at the end of the meal. He looked at home and stood up to sing along to the Scientology anthem at the end before leaving a little earlier than everyone else. Tom seemed delighted that there were so many well-wishers. It was his first major public appearance at a church event since his divorce and it seemed pretty clear that he hasn’t left the religion.”

Clearly!

Interview with Ultra.

Friday, July 1st, 2011

Who would you like to collaborate with?
I’d love to work with amy winehouse she’s an amazing writer with a timeless voice also babyface I grew up listenin to him. Ahh can’t forget timberland the beats are crazy lol

What music do you have on your ipod?

I have everything from Motown to rod Stewart Babyface, Boyz 2 Men, Joe, Kings of Leon it goes on n on I love soulful music I take influence from everything.

What has been your favourite live performance?
Lagos in Africa in front of 30,000 people it was crazy and the crowd where showing nothing but love.

Is it true you were or are seeing seeing Tulisa from the group N-Dubz?
No comment looool

When is your single out with Mutya Buena?
We have just got the final cut of the video its looking great and the label are looking at a September release so keep an eye out for it.

The official video for Ultra’s debut solo single which features Dappy from N-Dubz and the brilliant emerging talent of Fearless! Full release info coming soon..

Justin Edwards, aka Ultra, grew up in North West London with his mother, brother and sister.
Even though he was surrounded by the temptations of street life he was determined to stay on the right path and found his escape through music following in the footsteps of his father who was also a musician. Music was in his blood and he was hanging around in the studio from the age of 3 banging on the drums and singing. Growing up he listened to lots of soul music,with Motown being a source of inspiration.

Artists such as Stevie Wonder, Prince, Babyface, Michael Jackson, Silk,Boys To Men,  and Bob Marley remain influential, along with contemporary acts such as Justin Timberlake, Pharrel Williams, Amy Winehouse and Kings Of Leon. “I’m into Artists that break barriers,” he says.

Throughout his school life, Ultra knew all he wanted to do was perform;winning dance and talent competitions and performing at any opportunity that came his way. It was in Secondary School that he got involved in the massive UK Underground Garage movement and soon decided that he wanted to perform for a living.

Through hard graft,MC Ultra established himself as one of the busiest singer/MC’s in the game. He was chosen to vocal on one of the scene’s biggest instrumentals,Decoy,which is where he met production duo Agent-X.
He has had numerous white label underground releases since then as well as working alongside all the big names on the UK underground scene. He has performed in nightclubs and festivals across the UK, Europe and worldwide along with being asked to support Ginuwine on tour in Africa.

Ultra started out mainly as a rapper with a little singing thrown into the mix but has now developed into a full on vocal performer.
After working the underground scene for so long and developing his vocal skills and song writing Ultra is now ready to take to the main stage.
“I am recording my debut album,” “I describe my music as a fresh eclectic blend of genres where all types of music collide to build something
fresh.I make music for the clubs, pubs and radio,if it feels good I just go with it. I think it¹s all about catching a vibe which people can feel and relate to,whilst having the edge gained from the underground”.
You might have heard a taste of Ultra¹s vocals on the underground banger “Perfect Girl” (Agent-X and Ultra featuring Tinie Tempah) which received heavy play on MTV Base and London’s pirate stations.It appeared on many commercial compilations and also reached Number 1 on the Radio 1xtra charts.

It was also the first unsigned record to be played on Kiss FM. “I am now working with SB Management (KT Tunstall, Beth Rowley) and I am pushing forward with a track featuring myself and Mutya Buena called ‘Falling’. I also have collaborations in the pipeline with Double S Donaeo and many more.2009 is going to be big! Now its time for all the hard work to pay off!”

Corrina McCann Interview for styling A.R. Rahman for the BAFTA’s

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011


A. R. Rahman is known as the Bollywood equivalent of Beethoven, what was he like to work with?

The first thing that struck me with Rahman was the humbleness, gentleness and calmness of his nature. This made my job very easy, there was no diva situation to be encountered with him. Every suggestion I made to him he accepted with graciousness and because of his simplistic attitude to clothes I decided that the most flattering and versatile designer to use with him would be Armani. I am slightly biased because Armani is one of my favourite designers for men being so versatile with the younger and older men as Rahman doesn’t like to be too over the top in his dress code.  Armani is a classic style whether it be a jacket, t-shirt and jeans or one of his beautifully cut suits. Armani always manages to make the men wearing his clothes feel relaxed no matter how formal the occasion.

A. R. Rahman has sold over 300 million albums worldwide which is over 4 times the amount of Elton John, how were you feeling prior to meeting him?

Obviously being given the responsibility of pressing one of the worlds most famous and successful composers worldwide is slightly daunting for anyone, whoever they may be. Particularly when the worlds media is focusing on them at the BAFTAs and Brits for his nomination for 127 hours. All of my clients are equally as important to me but in this particular instance I felt honoured that he should chose me to style him for these 2 very important occasion in his life.

A. R. Rahman has fans worldwide and is a music sensation inspiring people all over the globe, did you get free reign to use your own inspiration or did he have specific requests?

I got complete free reign, he didn’t have any demands or requirements. He trusted me enough to use my own ideas and he looked amazing.

To be in the company of someone who is obviously a musical genius and legend, one would have thought it would have been overwhelming and perhaps you think you could be slightly tongue tied in situations but he was so relaxed and so was I. We built up a good rapport and relationship and I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future on many occasions.

interview with Brian Fortuna

My current state of mind is a positive one. I am thankful for my family, friends and for the amazing opportunities that I have. I am a bit of a dreamer and I love setting goals and working to achieve them.

Q. Who or what is the love of your life?

Performing is the love of my life. I love the feeling of satisfaction I get when I bring joy into others lives through different forms of art.
My mother will of course always be the true love of my life. She has always been and continues to be an inspiration to me.

Q. What is your most pronounced character trait?

I grew up a New Jersey Italian. For me it’s all about loyalty and honesty!

Q. What trait do you most value in others?

I love being around people that are enthusiastic and positive. Of course by it’s very definition loyalty works both ways.

Q. What trait do you most deplore in others?

People who are dishonest and people who are impolite tend to really put me off.

Q. What word or phrase do you most overuse?

Ha, my mother is always the first one to tell me when I am overusing words. I tend to say um without realizing it.

Q. When were you at your happiest?

I am at my happiest when my loved ones are all well and happy. I tend to feel my best when I’m eating well, organized, and when I get lots of excersise and sunlight. I also enjoy the success of a job well done.

Q. What talent do you wish you had?

I have always really wanted to play the guitar. I recently bought one but it’s moving along very slowly.

Q. What angers you most in life?

Situations were people are suffering and can’t do anything about it. People who are rude.

Q. Who are your heros?

My parents will always be my heros. I also look up to incredible artists and performers like Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra. I love the old school all around entertainers.

Q. Who are your favorite artists?

I have a very eclectic taste in music. I like everything from Jay -z to Nickleback to dean Martin. I tend to have an appreciation for all kinds of music.

Q. Where would you like to live?

Although London has become a true home to me I really enjoy places that are always sunny and warm. I love Southern California but the real dream is to have a home on the south west coast of Italy. la bella vita!

Q. What is your single greatest achievement?

My work on the tv series Dancing On Wheels was to me my greatest achievement. It was an opportunity to have a positive influence on the way people with disabilities are viewed as well as a means of showcasing years of work that my mother put into developing a structured system for wheelchair ballroom dancing. It was my most difficult project as well as my most rewarding.

Q. What is your motto?

It’s not who you are or what you have or where you are that makes you happy or unhappy, its what you think about.

Interview with Tom Deacon

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Q. Describe your current state of mind?
Really content with everything going on in my life at the moment, so I guess I’d say it was in a calm happy state.

Q. Who or what is the love of your life?

I really love Pomegranate but it is a hassle to get out of its shell. My new love is my girlfriend, she keeps me on my toes in life. Oh and I have to mention my Mum and Dad Cedric…oh and my mates they know who they are! That’s enough Love mentions for now.

Q. What is your most pronounced character trait?

I love meeting new people and socialising, so I guess its something to do with be‘friendly’. I also look for the funny in most situations, whether I say it aloud or just think it. Its something I’m always doing so does that make my trait ‘funny-seeker’?

Q. Which trait do you most value in others?
People with a sense of humour. It would help in my line of work if more audiences had one. I did a gig in Chudleigh in the south west once, im not sure what they put in the water round there, but lets just say its killed off their funny bones.

Q. Which trait do you most deplore in others?
I don’t like cruelty. Unless its against those proven of cruelty, but that would then make those people cruel. This would then make a never ending cycle of cruelty, OK,then I’ll just say cruelty and be done with it.

Q. What word or phrase do you most overuse?
The word ‘sure’ I use all the time. I’m pretty certain I’ve stopped saying the word yes, instead everyone gets a nod of approval and ‘sure’.

Q. When were you at your happiest?
Going to the arcades in Southsea with my dad Cedric. We used to head down in my half terms and play the video games on sunny days. We used to love this one racing game, we’d play it for ages. We’d get an ice cream afterwards with all the trimmings and then start people watching. Great times! *smiles to himself

Q. What talent do you wish that you had?
I wish I could do crosswords. Ive tried and tried and in the end I say to myself whos this for, I mean seriously why do people do them? They’re not helping anyone. Do a word search instead, because the way I see it someone has lost a list of words in a big grid of letters and they need your help. So you go through them one by one until you complete the list, and everyones like “yeah well done mate you’re the best” and you’re like “thanks, im just a helpful guy”. But I still want to be able to turn round when my nan needs my help on those words across or down.

Q. What angers you most in life?
People who act like dicks.

Q. Who are your heroes?
Everyone always asks me for my comedy heroes but I don’t have a comedy hero. Rather, comedy inspirations that have had a positive influence on me, Tom Stade, Reginald D Hunter, Craig Campbell, Richard Pryor…the list goes on. I’ve never followed any one like a hero, because your heroes let you down in the end. I loved as a kid the comic The Punisher, he had no powers but acted like one fighting crime, everyone else loved superman or spidy but not me. I want to be my own hero somehow if that’s possible.

Q. Who are your favourite artists?
I really like that geezer who painted fruit infront of peoples faces with the bowler hats, whats his chops, oh yeah Rene Magritte. Belgiums finest after Jean Claude van damme. Although I used to like Frida Kahlo’s early work, but I couldn’t stop starring at her unibrow. I watched Dodgeball the other day and the character Fran reminded me of her.

Q. Where would you like to live?
I don’t want to live in London, but I have to for work. I can’t afford (and don’t think I’ll ever be able to) a really nice house in London. I have this idea wherever I end up living it will either be the perfect family house or proper comedians house living in artistic squalor. Wherever I live I will want a cat that looks like a lion and a dog to go for walks with.

Q. What is you single greatest achievement?
Getting my own show on Radio1

Q. What is your motto?
“sure why not!”

James Nesbitt

Monday, November 1st, 2010

How long were you working as an actor before you got what you considered to be your big break? Did you ever reach a point where you thought you might call it a day and do something else?
I acted when I was young playing the artful dodger 31 years ago but always considered it a hobby until at university I realised academia, essays and teaching were not for me so I dropped out, enrolled at  Central School of Speech and Drama in 1985. I got two days on a BBC film called ” Virtuoso ” the day after I left and have worked Pretty constantly ever since and have been lucky enough never to have needed to seek other work. I’m very aware how blessed I’ve been and really think that had it not worked out I wouldn’t have stuck it out. I have a protestant work ethic that demands I work. Also, good wine doesn’t come cheap! Unquestionably my big break was Cold Feet.

You’re a devoted football supporter.  Have you ever thought you’d have preferred to be a pro-footballer?
I’m a fanatical Man United supporter and am involved with Coleraine Football club in Northern Ireland. I’d give it all up in a heartbeat to play for United. Carlisle United would do!

Of all the roles you have played, which has had the most profound effect on your life?
It’s hard to pinpoint one role that’s had a profound effect on my life, they’ve all played there part. Adam in Cold Feet brought me to a wide audience, Jekyll afforded me the opportunity to really show off, Murphy was probably the character most different from me but I think Playing Ivan Cooper in Bloody Sunday and that film itself reminded me most why I love acting and love my country.

Is there a part you’ve always wanted to play but, as yet, haven’t had the chance?
Wouldn’t mind playing Halle Berry’s lover. Don’t care how good the part is nor the film come to that.

Interview with Leslie Phillips

Friday, October 1st, 2010

From call boy to star, Leslie Phillips has been an actor for 76 years. He is known for being the ultimate womaniser. Ding dong.

What is your favourite treatment at MACS?

Anything done to my head really makes me feel rather good!

What is your favourite film of all time?

The 1956 Royal film: Les Girls – Jean Kelly

Which single memory sticks in your mind?

Meeting Bing Crosby for the first time, who later became a great friend. It was the last time I saw him which sticks in my memory. I bumped into him in Brighton and hadn’t seen him for a long time. He was always fantastic at remembering names and concerned as to how everyone was. He asked me if I was ok, which I was and so I asked him. He said “Not bad for an olden!” which were his final words to me.

Who is your favourite actor?

Bill Nighy. He is very talented and extremely appreciative of the work I have done myself. He shares so much of his life with other actors and taught me that in order to get on as an actor one must give and one must share not just take from the other actors and compete with them. Everyone must develop together.

Through your extensive career, what is the biggest change you’ve noticed in the film industry?

The present situation today with the lack of money around in the film industry. Films can’t be set up without money so it is an extremely difficult time at the moment. The most overlooked part of it however is the cost that occurs after the film is made. The cost of distribution which has put so much pressure on the industry.

Finally, what would you consider is your greatest life achievement?

Being kind.
