I have seen in all of the shops lately that all celebrities are cashing in on Christmas and doing a calendar for the year 2010.  I am unsure as to who buys these, I know that the lads will buy the topless models and the calendars where the ladies do not wear a lot and the children buy the pop groups but my friend who is 28 has asked for a JLS calendar for her house, I do not have a clue why she would want one of these but each to their own I suppose.

I must say that some of the animal ones or funny ones are quite good but I thought calendars are a thing of the past and everyone had diaries now…

I have listed all of the celebrities who have brought one out this year:

• Twilight
• Audrey Hepburn
• Jordan (Katie Price)
• JLS
• Kelly Brooke
• Peter Andre
• Robbie Williams
• Cheryl Cole
• Hollyoaks babes
• Kylie
• Girls Aloud
• Jonas Brothers
• David Beckham

And they are just a few to mention but over 50% of the calendars are aimed for men so maybe this is telling us that men are more likely to buy one or be given one as a present than women..

I may be wrong so please give me your opinion below…

Why the hell does Katie Price (aka Jordan) not get the hint that the general public dont like her and just leave the jungle.

So far Katie has has the most votes to do the 3rd bushtucker trial on the run and last night was cringe worthy to watch but i actually do not feel sorry for her as she has brought this on herself and i am team Peter Andre all the way.

I dont know exactly what happend between them and i dont really care but she has made herself this hated.

She thought by going into the jungle that she would make herself liked again but the way she is going this is not going to happen.

Dead Man Running is a new film out starring Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Danny Dier, Tamer Hassen and is written and directed by Alex De Rakoff.

Reformed ex-con Nick (Tammer Hassen) is given 24 hours to come up with £100,000 by notorious New York gangster and loan shark Mr Thigo (50 Cent). As a guarantee, Thigo’s men hold Nick’s wheelchair-bound mother hostage, leaving him no choice but to comply. Enlisting the help of his best mate, Bing (Danny Dyer), the boys embark on a frantic race against the clock. Their mission takes them from the dog tracks of East London to the underground drug scene of rural Manchester as they try every trick and scam in the book to get the cash before it’s too late.

I am certainly going to get tickets to see this film.

Michael Jackson has made it to the big screen with a film about his last few months of his life when he was rehersing for the This Is It concert in the O2 Arena in London.

I have not personally been to see it but my friends have all told me it is amazing and they were shocked how much of a good dancer and singer he was even though he was sick at the time.

I am not a cinema person so will definately be renting it as soon as it is released but the film is now in Cinemas so go and check it out for yourself…

I do not know what the attraction is but i do not like John & Edward of the Xfactor and i know i am not the only one who feels this way.

Radio One have done a campaign to vote John & Edward off this week and i have alos heard that Simon Cowell has said he will leave the record company if they win as he will not manage the duo which he said it was the Night of the Living Dead watching them on Saturday Night.

To make things worse the Sun have said they are to sing Ghostbusters on Saturday Night…

The stars of coming-of-age film ‘An Education’ were out in force last week for the premiere at the London Film Festival, and whilst the film stars renowned British actresses Emma Thompson and Olivia Williams; it was promising young actress Carey Mulligan who was the centre of attention.

The film, based on the memoires of Lynn Barber and brought to the big screen via Nick Hornby’s screenplay, tells the story of how a schoolgirl, Jenny (played by Mulligan), is seduced by the sophisticated lifestyle of a much older man. Mulligan has received overwhelming critical applause for her performance, with many critics likening her to the luminous Audrey Hepburn. She is fearless within the role; naturally conveying a sense of lightness and grace in moments which could have otherwise seemed sad or awkward.

To my mind, Mulligan’s performance reminds me of Ellen Page in the smash hit American comedy ‘Juno’, who portrayed the dry wit and candour of the character with a level of self-confidence unique for her age. It seems that when the personality of the actress imprints itself on the performance to such a positive effect, this becomes the pivotal point for the film’s success. With this in mind, I am convinced that ‘An Education’ will do very well.

In recent years, there has been a new kind of comedy film hitting cinema screens, which revamps the teen-comedy genre through satire and eclectic soundtracks. More than that, these films have become alternative and hip despite their mainstream appeal.

2007’s ‘ Superbad’ is an iconic example of this new wave of teen comedy, which has been led by the influential director Greg Mottola. The film tells the usual story of teenage boys trying to party and get laid, but the familiar cast of characters, the chemistry between them and the refreshingly odd, improvisatory style of acting is what breathes new life into this hackneyed comedy genre. ‘Superbad’ seems to have influenced the entire genre, demonstrated by the string of similar film releases including ‘Knocked Up’ and ‘Pineapple Express’.

Mottola has followed up this comedy hit with the 2009 film ‘Adventureland’. As with ‘Superbad’, it is not the plot of the film which makes it good, but Mottola’s direction. He treats his teenage characters as would-be adults rather than naive children, enabling him to successfully portray their struggle to understand their emotional and intellectual identities.

Expect more excellent and original film-making to come…

After a breakthrough performance at this summer’s Green Man festival and several shows at smaller venues in the North, the Liverpudlian band Wave Machines are definitely in my list of bands to keep an eye on. Described by NME as “Men in masks with subtle pop suss”, Wave Machines are an enigmatic four-piece who excel at energetic live performance. Their recent album ‘Wave If You’re Really There’ perfectly exhibit s their signature sound, which is an unusual combination of quirky lyrics and sparkling synths. Certain tracks have an 80s disco inspired sound, and it’s at these moments that Wave Machines are really at their best. Favourite track of the album? The irresistibly catchy single ‘I go, I go, I go’.

The star of the sensationally popular romantic fantasy ‘Twilight’ certainly has a lot to answer for. I’d fully intended to focus my praise on his acting talent, which is definitely not to be overlooked, but I can’t help but mention his unconventional yet spell-binding attractiveness in his role as the sexy and serious vampire Edward Cullen. His performances with Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella Swan, are completely engrossing yet charmingly natural, evidence of the excellent on-screen chemistry between them. It is this chemistry that allows the film to subtly nod to, but mainly avoid the clichés associated with the near-exhausted genre of vampire films in favour of focusing on the sincerely represented love story. This creates a refreshing experience for the viewer, especially those not already fans of the Stephenie Meyer books.
But one flick of those steel-gray eyes, and I forget everything I learned in my film modules.

Yesterday I spent the evening searching for new music, but ones with a new unique sound. I used LastFM to do this as mentioned in my previous post and I have been impressed in what is coming out of Scandinavia at the moment, especially Norway. I like to believe that I’m pretty open minded when it comes to music, but I am influenced by the likes of Royksopp and similar synthesized artists. The bands which I have started listening to are “First Aid kit” who have a similar sound to Fleet Foxes, Rockettothesky who have a more electronic trance sound and Elsiane who remind me of a very early day Lamb.
