History in the making

[woodrot]

"Rihanna has wrapped up BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend with a headline performance which featured a stage design inspired by ancient Egypt, spectacular fireworks and a guest performance from Jay-Z.

Beyonce, Jessie J and Tinie Tempah were among 50,000 fans to watch the Bajan star's 65-minute set close a weekend of live music at Hackney Marshes.

It climaxed with Jay-Z reciprocating Rihanna's cameo during his headline slot on Saturday, as he joined her for an encore of Run This Town, Talk That Talk and Umbrella.

Speaking from the stage, shortly before finishing, Rihanna said: "This is history in the making."

Tinie Tempah. Punch, kick, slap

Simon Cowell is the most recognised face in the UK or something, celebrity shite and it's not that recent either

OJ Simpson (who most brits had never herd of before that chase) trial was 'trial of the Century'...er, Nuremburg anyone?

I wish I had been there. I will never be part of something that is making history, whereas Dappy, the Jizzle Pigs and Rhinanna have.

Radio 4 is currently running a series called The New Elizabethans.

"60 profiles of men and women whose actions during the reign of Elizabeth II have had a significant impact on lives in these islands and given the age its character, for better or worse."

Simon Cowell does indeed makes the list as does Barabara Windsor.

But no Alan Turing. An appalling omission.

[nashoi]

I was thinking the same Loz, but I suppose they could argue most of the work he was known for was from before the coronation, he died two years later. Churchill also not on the list for similar reasons I would imagine.

I would have found room for *Sir Clive Sinclair, for turning a generation of kids onto computing and JK Rowling for keeping the next generation reading.

*maybe I'm still trying to justify buying a Sinclair QL though.

Isn't this kind of thing usually the province of the Mail-On-Sunday?
