Speidi to renew their vows


Here we go! Spencer and Heidi Pratt have announced they are renewing their vows!

The couple, who got together on MTV's The Hills, married once in Mexico which was invalid, then again in America, which they claim was all for the show. Since then they split up and Heidi filled for divorce. 

Now, they've got back together, claimed they are broke, took advantage of their fame and now they want to renew their vows. 

So, is this for the money? Or are they the real deal?

Personally, I think it's for the money. After The Hills, they were first people who I expected to get a spin off reality show but they didn't surprisingly. BUT obviously they did stay in the news as much as possible and some people even claimed their "divorce" was just for the publicity and money. I just don't trust them as a couple anymore. There's so much fakeness and hurt and it's all unbelievable pointless. They annoy me now.

What about you?


Rochelle and Marvin Split

Oh dear!


One of my favourite couples have split. Rochelle Wiseman from The Saturdays and Marvin Humes from JLS have split up. 


The couple got together in February of this year and moved in together a few months later. Rochelle took to her twitter account and said:


"Hey guys thanks for messages! It's all a bit odd to share a break up! We have split but, we are still very much friends! You guys are lovely."


Aww. When The Saturdays has their show on ITV2 and Marvin was on with Rochelle, they always looked so good together and seemed dead happy. I wonder why they broke up. It's a shame. I'm glad their still friends though!

Channel 4 hosts Corrie Come Dine with Me Special

Channel 4 has announced it will be showing a special episode of their hit show Come Dine With Me for Coronation Street's 50th Anniversary! 


The show will feature 4 former stars of the long running soap including Julie Goodyear who played Bet Lynch, Ken Morley who played Reg Holdsworth, Tupele Dorgu who played Kelly Crabtree and Philip Middlemiss who played Des Barnes. 


Apparently, there's plenty of drama between the contestants but I'm not spoiling any of it. The show airs 5th December 2010, the week the show turns 50 and a tram crashes into the street killing some much loved residents. 

Winnie The Pooh Trailer

Get ready for your childhood to comeback!




So cute. I wasn't a big fan of Winnie the Pooh, but obviously it was part of my childhood so I thought I'd share. The film is released 15th April 2011 in the UK.


What do you think of the trailer? Will you go see the film?

The 2011-2012 TV Season - FOX renews The Simpsons

Note how the title is The 2011-2012 TV Season, not 2010-2011!


Long running animated comedy, The Simpsons has been renewed for it's 23rd season by FOX.


The news means that the show will be on screens till at least 2012 and it will reach it's 500th episode millstone. It will also become the 3rd longest running prime-time series in the history of television. It's come along way from being a short on The Tracey Ullman Show back in 1987!


I used to watch The Simpsons all the time, but it gets tiring after a while. I loved the movie but I don't watch the show anymore, unless there's nothing else on and it happens to be on. I can't believe it's still going though. It's a great achievement. 


Are you happy The Simpsons lives on? Do you still watch it?

Would you like to try it out? I mean, who wouldn't want to have a go at those red balls? Look's like so much fun!

The X Factor - A 5th Judge?

The producers of the show are reportedly planning on introducing a 5th judge.


Recently, Simon Cowell invited 20 fans of the show to a brian-storming session on how to improve the show. 


The idea to introduce a guest 5th judge during the live shows was received well. The idea is to make the vote more clear-cut in the wake of Treyc Cohen's controversial elimination from the show last weekend. 


If there's a 5th judge and one judge opts out of voting like Cheryl did at the weekend, then the vote would still go to Deadlock, but the problem is, if all the judges vote, it would never go to Deadlock, which is sometimes a better way of eliminating people from the competition. 


According to an insider, one idea is to have whoever is performing on the show, be a guest judge during the vote. 


It is unknown when the rumored change will come into affect. 


So, what do you think of this? Would a 5th judge be a good idea?

Corrie's Jack's Death Scores Big Ratings

The death of Jack Duckworth and the reunion of him and Vera Duckworth pulled in massive ratings for Corrie on Monday Night.


11.64m watched Bill Tarmey's last episode which ended his 30 year run. His character Jack returned to his house after a birthday party for him in the Rovers. He sat in the very arm chair, his wife Vera died in nearly 3 years ago and passed away, but nor before Vera (Liz Dawn) returned one final time to take Jack to Heaven with her. 


It sounds cheesy and awful, but if you've watched these characters for as long as I have and really felt the emotion, it was done extremely well. 


The Duckworths will be missed on Corrie. 


Did you see it? What did you think?

AMC Renews The Walking Dead

AMC's new hit The Walking Dead has been renewed for a second season with only two episodes shown.

The show which is based on the graphic novels by Robert Kirkman, broke records when it premiered on Halloween. It was become the most successful cable show. It opened with 5.3m viewers. It has even been said they want to run the show for 10 seasons to match the 10 volumes. 

I haven't seen it yet, but I have it on record so I will get round to it. 

Are you happy about The Walking Dead being renewed? What do you think of the show?





MTV EMA's 2010 - The Performances


With the EMA's comes performances and they have to be spectacular. It's like the rules. Spectacular and memorable! 

Opening the show was Shakira featuring Dizzee Rascal!



Brilliant. I really love Shakira! And I love the Waka Waka Song! It's such a fun thing to say and it feels like it brings us all together! I also like her new song Loca! Great performance!

Next up was Kings of Leon!




That was good.


Next to perform was Miss Katy Perry!!




I love her, I love the song, but tell me, why was this not so good? She sounded weird. Once she got into the big notes of the song it was good but for Katy Perry this was kinda bad. She better be bloody amazing when I go see her in April!


Next was Rihanna!





Very Good! I love this song so much, and usually I tend not to like Rihanna singing live, but this was great! Go Rihanna!


Next was Kid Rock...





Not a fan really but I guess it was good? You tell me!


Moving on, Linkin Park performed next.






Sure, it was good but is it me or are these performances breaking the rules? Boring much.


It gets worse now when B.o.B and Hayley Williams took to the stage.






Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with these two, it's just I hate this song possibly more than I hate Taylor Momsen and that is really saying something! People who know me know how much I hate that tramp and I really hate this song, so much so, I physically can't listen to it.


Back to good people singing. Miley Cyrus is up next.






Hello! I am a fan of Miley Cyrus. I don't see anything wrong with the girl. She's a teenager. She's experimenting and she's having fun! This is a great song and she sings good. Good job Miley! Good job!


Plan B performed next but I can't find a video of it, but to be honest, your not missing much. Unless you like Plan B, then feel free to search for one and if you find it let me know yeah?


Moving on, Ke$ha was next!





I LOVE KE$HA! This was great. Maybe she should have sang her new song "We R Who We R" but this was still great. I love her staging and the body paint and the diving into the crowd at the end! Genius! 


Closing the show was Bon Jovi!





Who doesn't love a bit of Bon Jovi? This was a great way to close a not so good show!


What did you think of the performances? Who was your favourite?

Lady Gaga, who actually wasn't at the event walked away with 3 awards! She did appear several times to accept her awards. She was at one of her Monster Ball Shows, and the awards were brought to her on stage and she accepted them! It was rather amazing actually. 

I'm very surprised Katy Perry won Best Video. Don't get me wrong it was a great video, but come on. It was against Lady Gaga's "Telephone"! Have you seen that? AMAZING is not even the word! I also can't believe she didn't win Best Live Act. Trust me, from personal experience she should have won that too.

Other than that congratulations to everyone who won! 

So what did you think of this year's EMA's?

The X Factor - Was It A Fix?

Nearly 15 million of us watched it and we all know what happened. Well, incase you don't, here's the crack-a-lack.



  • Katie and Treyc were in the bottom two.
  • Katie sang first, forgot her words, generally did bad and ended up saying "sod it" and sat on the floor until the music ended.
  • Treyc sang and was alright. 
  • Simon voted to save Katie.
  • Cheryl refused to vote since they were both her acts.
  • Dannii voted to save Treyc.
  • Louis voted to save Katie.
  • Treyc was voted out of the competition. 
Obviously there's been plenty of backlash and controversy. What is The X Factor without it right?

So I have a few questions!

  • Why did Simon vote for Katie? She clearly messed up the song and the judges are supposed to vote on that performance they've just seen, not anything else.
  • Why did Dermot O'Leary go to Cheryl straight after Simon? Whenever this has happened in the past and it has happened, they always went to the judge who has both acts in the bottom last! So why did they go to Cheryl straight after Simon? Why change the rules?
  • Cheryl refused to vote. Fair enough. I don't think I could do it either! BUT She did say leave me to the end and I'll take it to deadlock, which means it reverts back to public vote. Why didn't they do that? Why didn't they go back to Cheryl and take it deadlock, which she said she would?
  • Why did Louis vote for Katie? Same as Simon, she clearly messed up. Treyc sang better than her, surely he should have saved her? 
I didn't like Treyc. I don't think many people did because she never connected with the audience. She's one of those acts when she's there but you don't remember her. Even when she was on stage, I asked "Who's that?" I feel it was unfair she was voted out under such bad circumstances but to be honest, I would rather have seen her go, over Katie. Katie has personality! She gives good performances too (sometimes) and she's memorable!

I want to know what you think about all this? Was it a fix to keep Katie in who gets more headlines than an other contestant? Or was it innocent? Should Cheryl have voted? Should they have gone to deadlock? Should Simon and Louis have voted for Katie?
