It's So Over

The Hills. Final Episode. Tonight MTV 9pm.  :(

Glee. How much is too much?

There's no getting away from it now. I am the biggest "Gleek" I know. Yet are we sick of it ALREADY?

The answer is; we're getting there.

Glee was created by Ryan Murphy and was picked up by FOX 15 hours after the script was submitted. Impressive. Since then it has exploded into the world. Attracting high audiences and massively loyal fans, Glee is an amazing show. There's no doubting that. I have every song they've ever done on my ipod. But now the show is hugely popular, the merchandise and money grab proceeds:

• Multiple CDs
• DVDs
• Books
• Games (Wii game, Board games)
• Stationary
• Clothes
• Accessories
• Greeting Cards ( :S whaaaat?)
• Lunch Bags
• Holiday Gift Sets

Just from one season?!? You're not High School Musical! Also the amount of celebrities begging for cameos or roles is ridiculous and if they keep agreeing to them, it's going to ruin it. I mean Susan Boyle is rumored to be appearing in the Christmas episode as a lunch-lady? Please. Yes, the woman needs to do something with her life but trust me, it's not this. So how much is too much? And how long will Glee last if this keeps up?

I have a few requests if you like for the next season of Glee:
First of all give Jane Lynch every award possible and a hug from me.
More Brittany! (I know this is happening anyway but still)
Kill off 'Other Asian' or Mike as he is actually known. He said one word last season.
and I think that's it.

Big Brother 2010 - Week 8 Eviction

It's Friday! Which means one thing. Eviction night. This week Dave, JJ, Jo and Sam Pepper faced eviction from the Big Brother House.

As you can see Jo got the boot with 39.4% of the vote. I neither liked or disliked Jo. She just seemed to be there. She never did anything exciting. She had no real storyline, yet another waste of a housemate. As much as I loathe Sam Pepper, the right person went tonight. Believe it or not but this was not the most exciting thing that happened on Big Brother tonight.


Once the eviction was out of the way, Davina announced to the housemates that the final was in 11 days, not in 4 weeks like they thought. She continued to tell them that they had 1 minute to decide who got a ticket to the final. After some confused voting (it always is with them) they decided Josie would get the special ticket to the final!

I am so happy she got it. I was expecting them to all vote for Steve because "he deserves it". Like bollocks he does. What has he done for the past 9 weeks except sit around on his arse and tell people what to do? Josie in my opinion is one of the best housemates ever. Not only does she have an amazing accent that I would marry, she is genuinely funny and real. Although I am usually against BB romances, she seems to really like John James. It's a shame the feelings aren't thought back by the Aussie. That's what I think anyway.


Now Josie is definitely in the final, Davina informed the housemates, that the winner of this series will not only receive £100,000 but will be re-entering the house with some of this lot:

We have from left to right: Michelle Bass (BB5), Brian Belo (BB8), Siavash Sabbaghpour (BB10), Craig Phillips (BB1), Alex Sibley (BB3), Dane Bowers (CBB), Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace (BB7), Brian Dowling (BB2), Nikki Grahame (BB7), Nadia Almada (BB5), Pete Bennett (BB7), Charley Uchea (BB8), Nick Bateman (BB1), Chantelle Houghton (CBB), John McCririck (CBB). 


I freaked out when I saw this image on digitalspy this morning. They have an amazing line-up with a few exceptions. I want 9 out of the 15 people on there to go into the house with the winner of BB11 which will hopefully be either Josie or Corin. The ones that I have crossed out are the ones I don't want in. I would also like Siavash replaced with Marcus Atkin or BB10 winner Sophie Reade. 


Make sure you turn in for the end of Big Brother 11 and the beginning of Ultimate Big Brother, Channel 4, 24th August 2010, 8pm onwards. 

Movie Review - Titanic 2

When we set up this blog, we had the idea of reviewing things that we watched or listened to. So here goes my first movie (if you could call it that) review.

-rolls eyes-

I first heard about this "film" when PerezHilton posted it on his website. I laughed. Like any other person would do, I laughed. I mean the original is great. The sinking part anyway, the bit before drags on, controversial maybe but meh. Moving on, I thought I wouldn't actually get to see this movie because it was straight-to-dvd and I don't buy things :) But Andi Thompson alerted me that it was on the SyFy Channel a few days ago. So I immediately began looking through the TV guide for a repeat and luckily I found one.


Me and my best friend Nicole Mullen (who's rather excellent fashion blog can be found here.) sat and watched it today at my house. Here's the description of the movie: 

"On the 100th anniversary of the original voyage, a modern luxury liner christened "Titanic 2," follows the path of its namesake. But when a tsunami hurls an ice berg into the new ship's path, the passengers and crew must fight to avoid a similar fate."

Even that is enough to make you laugh surely? The films starts off with a man surfing randomly next to some ice in greenland. The CGI is so bad it hurt my eyes. For a media student it was brutal to watch. Anyway, a huge chunk of ice breaks off and the man dies. Oh noes. Moving to the new ship, Titanic II -sniggers- it sets sail. Again CGI is terrible and it will be through the whole movie. 

Back in Greenland a man arrives on the ice and meets a woman there. I still do not know their names so forgive me. While there, a bigger chunk of ice breaks off. During this scene, a man who is running from the cracking ice, falls through a gap and dies. This was so unbelievably funny we had to rewind and watch again. As I mentioned before the CGI is awful and the acting could be even worse. So the broken ice sends a huge tsunami into the North Atlantic Ocean. Hmm's, isn't that where the Titanic 2 is sailing? The man and woman from Greenland survived btw and made it on to a helicopter which is now tracking the tidal wave, which is traveling at 800mph. Is that even possible? 

The wave picks up an iceberg on the way and crashes into the ship. Oh dear. The ship begins to sink and the passengers who just seemed to run around screaming and randomly fall over when there's nothing there to fall over are evacuated into these weird lifeboats which are like little submarines. The man in the helicopter has a daughter who happens to be on the ship. She tries to save her friend but she dies. The engine's on the ship then explode.

While all that draaamaaa was happening, another chuck of ice broke off sending a mega tsunami which is also heading towards the sinking ship. The wave hits. It sinks the ship and all the lifeboats essentially killing everyone that was onboard. Except the man's daughter who managed to selfishly get her self a scuba diving suit and oxygen tank while watching the man who owned the ship die in front of her. Nice. Her dad somehow jumps from the helicopter, which crashes for some reason that we couldnt figure out and finds his daughter. He manages to get her to the life raft from the helicopter which has the other woman in also, just as the US Coast Guard helicopters arrive a little too late. 

What an awful movie it was, yet it was a comical genius. The story was ridiculous, as was the acting and everything else. But it made the film movie. I would sit through it again, just because it makes me laugh, not for anything else. 

I give it 2 Stars. 

MySpace gets a face lift

And the point of this is....? 

You have to admit, we all used myspace at some point in our lives. But just as quickly we all become infatuated with it, we all found a new thing to obsess over. Facebook. Myspace is just irrelevant now. I know one person who still uses it. The lovely Sarah Smith. And she's just told me she only uses it for and i quote "music and shit".


So why bother try and make-over a site which nobody really uses anymore? I am no way condemning the people who do still use myspace, but for the majority it's all about Facebook and Twitter now. Personally I do not like or understand Twitter but in time that could change. I did not like myspace or Facebook when I first heard of them. I even remember taking the mick out of my sister, Laura for joining Facebook during the high days of myspace. 


So I've just managed to log into myspace. It took me a while to remember my email and password but we got there eventually. I see it's changed a bit already, It feel eerie being on here. I can imagine a tumble weed blowing across my screen! 

No, I'm not lonely. I have 144 friends actually. Just none of them are online. Not even Sarah Smith. :) 

what a failure.

So does myspace need a new face? or should it just be left to dust like an old book?

Big Brother 2010 - 4 hours of Final?

I read today Channel 4 will air nearly 4 HOURS of Big Brother when the current series comes to an end. My heart almost broke last summer when it was announced the show would be ending in the summer of 2010. With my age currently being 17, I was not old enough to audition but I was planing to next year. Obv not now :( Nevermind.

shutting up shop

Back to point. 4 hours? Really? I am the biggest Big Brother fan I know and even I think this is a little much. Let's run through what's going to happen. There's the usual highlight show and then depending on how many people will be left for the final they all have to be evicted and interviewed one by one, which usually takes 2 hours. BUT incase you had not heard, the winner of this series will receive £100,000 and will not leave the house. Yes you read correct. The winner will be kept in the house awaiting his/her brand new housemates. 


Welcome ULTIMATE BIG BROTHER. Past housemates from all 10 series and celebrity series shall be making their way into the house and staying there until they get evicted. In the end after 2 weeks we will have our Ultimate Big Brother Housemate. I, personally could not be more excited. A chance to see Nikki Grahame in the Big Brother house again? Anytime. 


Is 4 hours for the end of the UK's original reality show to long? Or just right?

Rage against the Capello!

Rage rage rage!

It's bad enough he's not even a good football manager. But when you thought Fabio Capello couldn't get anyworse... He announced that David Beckham won't be playing for England ever again... Without even telling him first!

Erm.... excuse me?

First of all how unbelievably rude is that? ....Very!

Not only is our Becks very loyal when it comes to playing for his home country. Which he even said on Johnathan Ross "I will keep playing for England as long as they want me, it's a huge honour to play for your country", he's still a fantastic player. And people like Becks wayyyyy more they like Capello.

Lets weigh up these these two boys and see who deserves to stay and who should go!

Capello

• doesn't know the correct formation
• didn't get us to even qualify for the Euro
• lost us the world cup
• never listens to the boys... Why? CAUSE HE'S ITALIAN
• his English isn't even that good!
• The players can't even understand him
• he left Theo Walcott home...

Becks

• 100% dedication to his country
• 
  
  still absolutely gorgeous!
• England Captain!
• One of the best players in the world!
• Global Icon!
• Idol to many!
• Much more appealing than Capello
• Has way more fans!

Becks list could go on and still be wayy better than Capellos!... Just because he's still off from surgery does not mean he's incapable of playing!

If anyone should go it's Capello, like seriously what has he actually done for our Football team? Absolutely nothing!

When.. and i mean WHEN Beckham decides to no longer play for England team, i think he should take over as Football manager as he would be fantastic! And he knows what he's doing, he'll listen and he's not a bellend!

Do you think it's Becks time to stop playing? Or should he keep on going? Thoughts??

Serena van der Woodsen wants to die?

Gossip Girl here. Your one and only source .. | NO! I am not the mysterious blogger who stalks Manhattan's elite. However Gossip Girl is one of my favourite shows ever and you should all be watching it. All the scandal and drama and rich teenagers with serious problems. What's not to love? Taylor Momsen is not to love but we'll save that for another time. -vents anger somewhere else-


Moving on, it's been reported that Blake Lively who plays Serena wants to quit the show wants producers to kill her character off in an explosive style. While her character is hit and miss with me, I personally do not want her to leave. For those of you who have not seen GG, Serena did something bad and went away to boarding school (as you do) and then she comes back. Here's the opening titles of the show...
The first sentence is "Where has she been? Serena..." The entire first season was about why she came back and why did she leave in the first place, but those titles have stuck 2 seasons later. For Blake's character to leave, would mean to change the legend titles? Why do this to us? Seems silly I know but those titles are amazing. Short and fantastically sweet. 


So here goes my plea to Blake Lively. Don't be selfish because your doing a film that people will actually go see. Think of all the loyal Gossip Girl fans. Think of my beloved Leighton Meester! Who would be her 'B'? Also you need to stick around to see the whole 'Dan got Georgina pregnant scandal!' draaaaamaaaa. :D 

This is My Favourite Song, Turn it Up!

  My love for Kelly Rowland blew up massively as soon as I heard 'Commander' featuring the legend that is David Guetta. 'Commander' has become my favourite song of 2010 so far and it's only August. BUT this post isn't about that tuuuuuuune and a half. No. It's about her new one, which I first heard few days ago and it immediately made it's way to my ipod. 

                                                   'On and On' hasn't even been released yet and it's not even on youtube :O so I thought I'd post here for you to have listen to. Believe me, it needs listening to. The song is catchy and easy to learn. Not as dancey as the best tuuuune of 2010 but just as good. I simply can't wait for her album. She's taking an awful long time with it but I'm positive it will be well worth the wait. So stop reading this and get listening.

It Wasn't Meant To Be

American Idol lost a potential new judge today. 

The show is down to only 1 judge since Simon, Ellen and whatsherface either left or were sacked (whatsherface). 


In the pipeline were Miss Jennie from the Block or Jennifer Lopez as she is sometimes known, or Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler. Now according to reports, JLO has been dropped from the list of potential judges. It was said FOX had enough of her diva demands. What did they expect? Her last album had one or two good songs and it did terrible sales wise. 

why am i no longer relevant? 

What I don't understand is, how can they auditions take place with one judge? Do they have judges but are asking contestants not to tell anyone who they are? Why are they leaving it so late to announce them? Leave your thoughts below :) 

Betty's Back Bitches

Tonight, a special lady returns to our television screens. Ugly Betty has finally come back to us! 

stunner

Sadly during it's absence, it was cancelled, on my birthday, which makes the pain 10 times worse. Betty was/is a genius show which took a normal girl from Queens, New York and threw her into the dog eat dog world of MODE magazine. After 4 seasons Betty met her end as the ratings declined badly. ABC refused to renew the show and even ended it 2 episodes early. 

Channel 4 have treated Betty terribly. Heavily promoting the first season, it was a hit here in the UK. But during the second season the writer's strike of 2008 hit and Channel 4 stopped showing it after 9 episodes and waited nearly a year to show the remainder of the season, which helped it loose viewers. When season 3 eventually came along they shifted it from a prime Friday night slot, to Monday night at 10pm, loosing more viewers. Now the final season is upon us (cries a little) they've moved our Betty and gang to sister channel E4, which is good enough I suppose. At least it's getting shown!

Betty is on Wednesday's, 9pm on E4! Watch it. 

Football or Footbore?

Are we totally 'over' the England team or is there still some faith somewhere?
i mean after their hardwork effortless team work... whatever was happening out in South Africa this year. Where did it all go wrong for our team?

Lets face it, this wasn't exactly 'Our Year' as we'd hoped it would be. And all this about 'Wayne can win it for us' well he didn't exactly deliver!
We can blame it all on Rooney, or we can blame it on Fabio Capello for getting the formation all wrong... or we could blame the stupid people who wouldn't allow Frank Lampards Goal?! ...We can just keep pointing our fingers or we can just let it go. But one thing it's not the never ending support from loyal fans who's to blame!

So where did it go so wrong? They are good players individually, and that is our problem, We are just a field of good players there is no team work or anything?!

This friendly against Hungary shall be interesting, as the England boys try to redeem themselves from a very unsuccessful World Cup. This match is to see how awful we are performing as a team for when the qualifiers come for the Euro, which we never made last time.

So is there any hope for our team actually succeeding and winning? Should we give up? Or are we just going to sit back and cheer anyways?

Thoughts?
