You can always count on Lady Gaga to bring a touch of controversy with her wherever she goes…
We’re all well accustomed to the zany and often revealing costumes in which this quirkiest of pop queens tends to perform, from dresses made of meat to costumes made of thin air.
True to form, Gaga generated a gaggle of complaints as a result of her performance on last Sunday night’s X Factor results show, with some viewers taking exception to the considerable amount of flesh on show and the explicit nature of the lyrical content. Somewhere in the region of 200 viewers lodged...

Galahad and Lancelot (four-month-old male black kittens, pictured above) have been with us since August.
They are absolute little darlings, smashing boys with big personalities and great looks. You can’t beat a black cat. They really would like to go together but if you have a cat or kitten already, you could offer just one of them a home as long as they have a friend to play with.
Lulu (6 years old female grey and white cat) She's been with us since June 2013 Lulu is a sweet girl who was found wandering around lost and alone before she was brought into us. She was...
Exeter City were on the wrong end of a 3-2 scoreline in their first visit to Fratton Park for over 30 years. Something of a freak goal just before the interval by Ricky Holmes was followed by a Ryan Bird brace, as the game seemed to be running away from City. The Grecians made a spirited fightback with goals from Danny Coles and John O’Flynn, but ultimately it wasn’t quite enough as the hosts saw out the late City onslaught to keep all three points. By the end, the home faithful were whistling for full-time as City had piled bodies forward, but...
I first saw 17-year-old Luke Friend, from Teignmouth, perform earlier this year at the Exeter Festival of South West Food & Drink under a relatively tiny little tent with little more than his guitar and a mic.
At the time, I turned to my girlfriend and said 'this guy's pretty good'.
Usually there would be nothing that could possibly drag me away from the countless beer tents and packed food halls at the festival, but this young man had me hooked.
We sat down on a hay bale and watched on in awe for about an hour until Luke's set was over and then that...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter described his side’s latest Aviva Premiership win as “precious” as they consolidated their place in the top four with a hard fought 18-16 win at Sale Sharks. Irish fly-half Gareth Steenson did the damage in terms of points for the visitors as he punished the in-disciplined Sharks with an unblemished six from six at the target. Sale countered with three penalties of their own from Danny Cipriani, as well as a late converted try for winger Mark Cueto, but it was not enough to dent the inform Devonians. Afterwards, Baxter not only praised his team’s...
