Mutya Buena on Celebrity Big Brother!
Ex-Sugababe and now solo artist, Mutya Buena, has decided to be a part of Celebrity Big Brother in the UK. As one of the celebs' first challenges they have to demonstrate to each other why they re famous. What they don't know is that really the head of household will be putting who he thinks is the least talented up for eviction. This whole video of about half of the celebs performing is really quite entertaining. To just see Mutya's rendition of the AMAZING "Hole in the Head" skip ahead to about 5:40. I've been looking everywhere for the footage of Michelle Heaton (ex-Liberty X) performing, so if anyone has it please be a saint and send it over!!
It's been a day of humour!!
Listen to these voicemails from a clearly deranged, obsessed stalker. This is why one should be careful about giving business cards out--if you're lucky enough to have them, after all. You will laugh s hard--especially if you follow the photos.
Wheel-Of-Fortune!!!!!
You MUST watch this!!!! I nearly died, since after all, I am an elderly person and watch Wheel of Fortune on a daily basis!

Natalie Bassingthwaighte - Someday Soon and Alive- Live!
Here's Australian "sensation" Natalie Bassingthwaighte singing her second solo single "Someday Soon" live in Sydney on New Year's Eve. It's good performance and the track is decent, but just not as great as her first effort "Alive."
Here's the "Alive" performance that's from the same night. Check out that dress--wowser!

Pussycat Dolls take on The Tonight Show!
The Pussycat Dolls performed their rapidly rising single "I Hate this Part" for promotion here in the US on Leno and it was another solid performance! Enjoy!
Their outfits were looking a bit Girlicious, I must say!

The Return of BJlicious
Hey everyone,
Sorry about the delay in posts, I was at the casino resort Foxwoods for the weekend. I'm back now and post-hack the blog is looking better than ever!! Here are a couple photos from Shrine at the new MGM at Foxwoods! We had a super fun time that may have included my jumping on stage during a performance of "Jungle Boogie" by a random jazz band!!

Here come the...Desperate Housewives!
Much to my delight after watching Desperate Housewives last night there was a new promo featuring the AMAZING Sugababes track "Girls." Since the track was only released in Europe (but enjoyed by others including me elsewhere) it was an added bonus to be featured on the American network ABC!!!

Kelly Clarkson Cover Art!
Kelly Clarkson has just released the cover art to her new single "My Life Would Suck Without You" which is out officially January 19th! The cover is cheeky, but fun and she looks great. I'm excited for this one because she's gone back to her pop (and good) roots. This should be better than the terrible disappointment of My December.
The Saturdays: Artist of the Month!
Congratulations to The Saturdays for being named January's artist of the month on the blog!! Adele and Jessica Mauboy were both close runners-up. The Saturdays are totally deserving as their debut album Chasing Lights is definitely one of the best albums of the year and their new single "Issues" is out (in the UK) on 5th of January!!
Video is once again below:
New Year's Treat
Here's a youtube gem as a present for the new year! Now go...eat your yum yums!! This lady should DEFINITELY be friends with Brenda Dickson!
