DIONNE BROMFIELD *NEW VIDEO*

Little Miss Bromfield (aka Amy Winehouse's God-daughter) has officially released this video for her first single. This little songstress is pretty amazing - hopefully with a 'mentor' like Wino she'll know to concentrate on the music and STAY AWAY from drugs & booze!

NO MORE NAKED BECKHAM

WOW! *salvates*

I mean... NOOOOOO!!! 

David Beckham has been replaced by Real Madrid striker, Christano Ronaldo, as the face (but really, we all know that means 'body') of Armani Underwear.

Don't panic! Beckham is to release his own line of male underwear. Yeeeeay! :)

Victoria, who is also the female counterpart to David for Armani Underwear, is also said to be leaving the brand toconsentrate on her own fashion line [and not longer star in the ads]. Her replacement has not yet been announced.

Ronaldo will 'grace' the billboards and print ads starting early next year for the spring/summer 2010 campaign.

There is no purpose for these further pictures of [half] naked David... I just wanted to see them again :)

KARL IMMORTALISED!

Fashion legend and icon, Karl Lagerfeld has been immortalised!!!

[Calm down] Only in make-believe land,- Japanese-inspired brand Tokidoki has launched a limited edition miniature figurine of the Style-God, dressed completely in K Karl Lagerfeld and embellished with rhinestones. Hehe! 

This amazing hanyword is by Italian artist Simone Legno, who launched Tokidoki in 2005.
 
"Mini" Karl will be launched at Colette (I think that's in America) this month before hitting selected K Karl Lagerfeld retailers and Tokidoko flagship stores in New York, Milan and Los Angeles.

The figurine costs around £118, and each figure will come with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity. 

WHERE'S MY CREDIT CARD!!!!!!

BLACK EYED PEAS - MEET ME HALF WAY *NEW VIDEO*

Latest release from the BEP

- not sure if the video was what I imagined when I first heard it, but HEY! That's what we love bout these guys, right?

I used to love this song but now there's a video, it's just going to get over-played... I can see myself getting annoyed already!

RICK ROSS & ROBIN THICKE *NEW VIDEO*

Ricky Ross‘ new video with Robin Thicke for their track “Lay Back.”

THIS IS KIND-OF-BUT-NOT REALLY IT

'This Is It' a "new" track that was "leaked" (or released... whatever! listen below) was said to be one of the last songs Michael Jackson recorded before he tragically passed away... 

However! It turns out that Jackson co-wrote this song back nearly twenty-six years ago! Back in 1983 with former teen heartthrob Paul Anka (yea, I didn't know who he is either!) Anka, was a teen idol of the 1950s and 60s who wrote the lyrics to Frank Sinatra's signature song, My Way, and is now entitled to 50 per cent of all royalties from This Is It. Dang!

RELENTLESS GIG

Energy drink Relentless is launching a three-day music gathering as part of a major promotional drive.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITIES

Mmmmwwwaaahahahahaahah!!!

There's a new movie out in the US hailed to be the 'next' Blair Witch Project... I'll be the judge of that.

Its called Paranormal Activity and will be released here on November 27. 

It's basically another is a low-budget (made for just £9,300) horror movie shot, with unknown actors and directed in the style of The Blair Witch Project, hence the comparison.

FREE AS STANDARD

One of my favourite newspapers, The London Evening Standard, is now FREE!!!!!

Its the first quality newspaper distributed free in the UK, after they dropped the price in hope of increasing circulation (to 600,000 copies, in result would raise the advertising revenue - ah! Clever goose).

Geordie Greig, the newspaper's editor said, "This is an historic moment and great opportunity for The London Evening Standard. It's owners will be funding the distribution of over 600,000 copies of the newspaper, making it available to more Londoners than ever before."

With the England match against Ukraine being shown online, a lot of punters thought their Saturday evening was doomed... Maybe it was. England lost 1-0 *sob* Its ok, England already qualified for the World Cup :)

- Robert Green brings down Artem Milevskiy in the area and is the 11th player and first goalkeeper to be sent off for England
