Hope everyone’s good! I’ve had a good month
so far – well apart from spraining my wrist and
tripping on my face recently in Cardiff. I’m such
a clumsy twat. Been busy here in London as
usual. I’m currently in rehearsals for a play and
I did a shoot for a short film the other day. It’s
about youth, alcohol and the things that can
happen when you abuse it. Like falling over
and battering yourself – hmm don’t think I’m
really one to talk haa-haa. There’s a lot more
to it but at the moment, I’m not sure if you’ll
ever get to see it. When it’s finished who
knows it might win tons of awards or possibly
be featured on You Tube… now that’s fame.
I’ll keep you up to speed on that… as and
when…
I’m enjoying the nice weather we’re starting
to get – yay - spring is finally here! Can’t wait
for summer now - whoop. It’s going to be
good – games of frisby in the park, ice cream
and picnics haa-haa. I’m joking. That would
be too gay… wouldn’t it?
It’s Stonewall’s 20th Anniversary this year
and I’m tagging along for their Brighton
equality walk, which I’m really excited
about!!! We will be having a right laugh and
raising money for a great cause at the same
time. Last year’s Brighton Equality Walk
raised over £35,000 to tackle homophobic
hate crime and all forms of anti-gay
bullying. So, Come along…let’s see if we
can raise even more. It’s on 3rd May in
Brighton. It’d be ace to meet you guys.
Check out Stonewall’s website for more
details on how to get involved!
Short but sweet this month peeps – got
to dash!

10 THINGS YOU
NEVER KNEW ABOUT
JASON STRATHAM
1. In August 2008, Jason was escorted out of the annual Midsummer Night’s
Dream Party at the Playboy Mansion by security, following his refusal
to pose for
photographs with models.
2. Statham considers Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li among his great
influences in doing action movies.
3. Bank Job was one of Statham’s movies that did not require a lot of action
scenes. When the short fight scene he had at the end of the movie was
included
in the film trailer, he got irritated that the movie was promoted as an action
film
when in fact, it was not.
4. Jason and his three-time director Guy Ritchie got obsessed with chess
during
their filming of the movie Revolver.
5. Jason was discovered by a talent agent while he was training at London’s
Crystal Palace National Sports Centre in the late ‘90s.
6. For his role in The Italian Job, Statham got stunt driving lessons by former
racing driver Damon Hill.
7. Statham is trained in martial arts, particularly kickboxing and Jujitsu.
8. Jason’s father used to run auctions. He’s now a singer in the Canary
Islands.

3X Men Origins: Wolverine FILM
Out: 29 April
Using several resources that include the Marvel Comics lore, along
with the more recent Weapon X graphic novels by Frank Miller,
Wolverine mixes action with an origin story about how Logan
emerged from a barbaric experiment as an indestructible mutant
with retractable razor-sharp claws. People Magazine’s Sexiest Man
Alive Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him famous for
the fourth time. In Origins Wolverine lives a mutant life and seeks
revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabertooth)
for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately ends up going
through the mutant Weapon X program.

Blackpool Pride
The fourth annual Blackpool Pride event
takes place over the weekend of 16th-17th
May, with the festival moving to a new
location within the heart of what is fast
becoming known as “Blackpool’s Gay Village”.
An enclosed area will be created on Dickson

point being a massive stage featuring big
name artists from around the country to
entertain an anticipated 10,000 strong crowd.
Confirmed to open this year’s festivities is
S Club 7 lead singer and ex-Celebrity Big
Brother contestant Jo O’Meara, followed
by performances from Andy Scott Lee, 80’s
star Hazell Dean and following a fantastic
performance at Blackpool Pride in 2007,
returning this year, 80’s icon Toyah. With this
year’s event falling on the same day as the
Eurovision Song Contest, the organisers are
playing homage to this campest of singing
contests with a fantastic set from three of
the last decades UK entrants. Ex Pop-Idol
contestant and 2002 entrant Jessica Garlick
kicks off the Eurovision Party, followed by
2000 entrant Nicki French and from 2007,

Flamingo
Well it’s officially Spring, so now is the time to
start making plans for a visit to the seaside,
and as always Flamingo is well positioned to
provide the best night out; by providing a
huge range of events and promotions.
Easter weekend in Blackpool offers a plethora
of entertainment, as The Flamingo kicks
off the party weekend on Good Friday with
Fomo - The Arena is transformed into a giant
bubble bath as loads of sexy, sweaty revellers
in Speedos, shorts and just about anything
lather-it-up on the dance floor for this
mammoth Ibiza style foam party.
Back by popular request, Saturday sees the
most in demand DJs in the country playing
a live DJ set – Freemasons. If you haven’t
managed to catch them yet, you don’t know
what you are missing, they are awesome. You
can be sure that the beats will be fierce, the
mix will be bold, and the crowd eclectic.
X-factor finalist the Spanish singing siren Ruth
Lorenzo, brought the house down on her last
visit, so make a date on Easter Sunday for a
welcome return for this enigmatic artist.
Camp returns to Flamingo on Easter Monday
with a live PA from Charlene, when you can
have a boogie to sounds from the 60’s,70’s and
80’s, and also enjoy cheap drinks.
So, with something for everyone, there really is
no better place to enjoy your Easter weekend.

of fun and frolics including some great plans for Bank Holiday
Sundays, the first being Easter Sunday 12th April, and this

by The New Union, and take place on Sunday 9th August.
Pride day is our chance to pull-out all the stops and show our
appreciation and support to the community that supports us
and this year we are planning an even bigger event. Whenever
you choose to visit The New Union you can be sure of a
welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. The New Union has
a reputation for providing great home cooked food daytime
