Sony Signs......Chipmunk

That's right! Yesterday Chipmunk was officially signed by record label Sony.
It really does seem that 2009 is going to be a great year for UK music.

The college student from Tottenham has done very well for himself, and just goes to proves that no dream is too big!

Good luck Chippy!

BROKEN HOME: Katie Price & Peter Andre Split

After nearly 5 years of marriage, the celebrity couple have split up!




The couple, who met whilst spending time in the Australian jungle together on the show, 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!' made the announcement this afternoon. The couple have 2 children together, 3 year-old Junior and 1 year-old Princess Tiaammii.

I wouldn't say this comes as a suprise as it doesn't. Their blazing rows have been seen on our TV screens on their reality TV shows on ITV2. She talks to him like dirt and always makes it clear that she's the breadwinner of the household. Still, I liked the couple, but this was bound to happen!

You Gotta Love Estelle

One of my fave artists, Stellar Stelly aka Estelle, is currently In St Lucia for the Jazz Festival where she performed today, (last night in St Lucia).

A US TV pundit/Broadcaster by the name of Jawn Murray, also in St Lucia, blasted Estelle via Twitter. Why? Because she didn't say "Hello" to the guy! SMH!
And as she didn't do any press whilst out in St Lucia, he also got the hump, but claimed he wasn't interested in interviewing her after his 'dismissal'.

Estelle was having none of it, so decided to set the record straight:




Now look at his response to Estelle after her tweets:



As Diddy would say that's some BITCHASSNESS!


If Estelle wasn't a person to stand up for herself, his tweets would still be there! However, she has classed this whole episode as a "misunderstanding", as Jawn must've thought she didn't want to say 'hi' on purpose and set her security on him,hence his irate tweets, which she did not!!!

Gotta love Estelle!

Swine Flu Has Turnt Funky

Okay, so I know there's a Funky House craze going on in the UK now.....but really, do we need to make up a dance and/or song for everything? It's turning into Bashment slowly.

Swine Flu now has it's own dance and song!!! (Can you believe it?)



The 'Swine Flu Skank', which is supported by UK PR company, Uproar UK, tries to relay the swine flu slogan: "Catch it....Bin it....Kill it". This is a good little marketing tool, but it's not my cuppa tea at all....although some may find it comical.

However, it has 2 positive points:
1. It's educating people in a fun way
2. It's produced by Flamin' Beatz....quite a good producer of Grime music

Check the video....let me know if you'll be doing this dance in a club.

Will this dance catch on?

Now It's Rihanna's Turn To Flash

Just a day after Cassie's twitties were placed all over the net, the Bajan princess Rihanna is allegedly the next celeb to have naked photos of her leaked..... You know the kinda pictures a girlfriend sends to her boyfriend *cough*

Thank Perez Hilton for the pictures.....there's one of Chris Brown too

PS: I wonder which looker, but not so good singer is going to be the next victim of leaked sexy shots?

Concert Review: Brandy (Indigo2)

My lovely friend and fellow journalist Emmanuel invited me down to Indigo2, to watch his favourite singer of all time, Brandy, perform.

The last time I saw Brandy perform in concert was years ago at the Royal Albert Hall, when her album 'Never Say Never' was out! Sporting a new funky-cut, yaki weave, that was super shiny, Brandy was pulling out some dance moves. She had some MJ-robotic dance moves going on with a hint of some African moves.....I liked. She started the concert with 'Afrodisiac', which is a tune and followed through with other songs such as 'What About Us' and 'Full Moon'.

I didn't actually realise how many adoring fans she had or how many years she's been in the music industry. The concert was like a trip down memory lane, with Brandy singing a medley of her old-time jams, such as 'I Wanna Be Down' and 'Baby', and giving us some of her material from her latest album, 'Human'.

I can't fault the girl, she gave a great pitch perfect performance, but the thing I disliked is that the concert was over before you knew it! She was on stage for 45 minutes, which actually felt like 30 minutes. To make matters worse....where was the encore?? That's the first concert I've been to where there was no encore, and I've been to quite a few concerts!

Brandy, my dear, next time, ENCORE!

Cassie's Got Her Twitty's Out

Like the nonsense shaving of her head wasn't enough, Diddy's Bad Boy's Cassie has gone and put her breasts on display over the net. This morning I awoke to this tweet on Twitter:


"RT @cassieventura IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE HAS HACKED INTO MY COMPUTER...NOW STOP ACTING LIKE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN A TITTY BEFORE."

Cassie claims somebody has hacked into her PC. I believe this is just all part of a publicity stunt, just like the shaving of the sides of her head was. Bad Boy have issued cease and desist emails to blogs featuring Cassie's breasts.

I mean, I like Cassie, even though she can't sing, but all of this is not needed, especially the cease and desist emails. It's quite obvious that somebody from her camp put these pics out

Whatever next I wonder....tune in again to see what Cassie's next publicity stunt is

It's Spreading Like Butter On To Toast

This Swine Flu is serious business!!

Tulisa, from N-Dubz has been diagnosed with a suspected case of Swine Flu....

"Tulisa Contostavlos, 20, flew to Athens on Thursday night for a break with family and friends after finishing a 23-date UK tour, when the band performed for thousands of teenage fans.

But she fainted and needed medical attention during the flight — then had to be rushed to hospital yesterday after a doctor noted all the symptoms connected with the potentially deadly virus.

Tulisa was last night under observation on an isolation ward in Pendeli, Greece, as doctors awaited the results of tests." (The Sun)

We here at Social Writers wish Tulisa a speedy recovery!
