Correction: When Mikey Skinner Wasn’t Famous
Ok guys, I made a mistake in labeling a photo yesterday–the second ring on Mike’s left hand wasn’t diamond, it was just metal mesh, as you can see here in this photo that seems to have been taken a while ago (below).

[...] Ok, seriously, what is up with English pop stars and all their chavvy bling? It’s like they all have some kind of disease they have, isn’t it? Clearly Lily hasn’t reached the status of Mikey Skinner (who sports diamond encrusted gear), as she was head to toe gold, but not an ice cube was to be found.
