Ruth’s Sunday Special May 31, 2009
Posted by Roslyn in : Daily Dis , add a comment
Err, hello, but is anyone else completely baffled as to why the hell Geri Halliwell reckons that Cheryl Cole’s booming career, as a TV star as well as a Girl Aloud, is all down to her? Erm, right Geri. Luckily Cheryl isn’t quite as starstruck by Geri as she might hope, even taking a pop at old Ginger Spice after being compared to the British group
Adam Lambert… oh what a little fox.. If I lived in the USA I would have been ringing his number on end last week! But it seems that being runner up on American Idol hasn’t ruined his chance for success as Jordin Sparks has revealed she wants to duet with the lad.
You’ve got to love Will Ferrell. Just when you think there are no decent celebs left on the planet, he goes and launches his own brand of suncream, with some sexy shots of him plastered on the bottle. Pure Genius, and it’s for charity too!
For all those that hate Alien and all the movies that followed it as I did, the original is such a disappointment, you will be delighted to hear that there’s another one in the pipeline. But Ridley Scott is doing just that, and he is contemplating a prequel, but with the original films and all the Alien vs Predator rubbish surely it’s time to call it a day?
Well, well, well boys and girls, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for… FemaleFirst’s Band Wars 2009 is now open for entries and we want YOU!If you’re in a band, or you know someone in a band who might want to get their little mitts on a weekend at a top London Recording Studio, some promotion from Momentum PR and the chance to get your hands on some Glamour Kills merch; then look no further… because July 12 is your chance to sort it out! Email bands@femalefirst.co.uk for more details.

Ruth’s Saturday Suppliment May 30, 2009
Posted by Roslyn in : Daily Dis , add a comment
So, tonight it the Britain’s Got Talent final, but a dark cloud has been cast over it after a British journalist has launched an utterly scathing attack on Susan Boyle. Read exactly what the British newspaper had to say about Susan Boyle here, but be warned, it is very offensive…
It’s the news we’ve all been waiting for, Rihanna has announced plans to testify against her ex boyfriend Chris Brown as a witness in the assault case against him. Rihanna has been unwilling to get embroiled in the row and has kept a dignified silence. Until now.
Is it just me, or did anyone else think Katie Price was desperate for a reconciliation with her estranged hubby Peter Andre? I’m no relationship expert, but I wouldn’t think going out on the lash with your ex boyfriend would be the best way to try and get into your husbands good books, especially when he dumped you for (allegedly) cheating on him.
Being a fashion addict at the age of 11 is not something I can readily admit to, but Donatella Versace on the other hand, is more than happy to be labelled as a glorified clothes horse, after being dressed up by her brother while she was a child. Ahh, that explains it all…
So over the years there have been some great bunny boiler/stalker characters that have graced the big screen. And Heroes star Ali Larter becomes the latest actress to take on that role. Take a look at some of the best big screen stalkers over the years.
Well, well, well boys and girls, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for… FemaleFirst’s Band Wars 2009 is now open for entries and we want YOU!If you’re in a band, or you know someone in a band who might want to get their little mitts on a weekend at a top London Recording Studio, some promotion from Momentum PR and the chance to get your hands on some Glamour Kills merch; then look no further… because July 12 is your chance to sort it out!

Lady GaGa Unveils Latest Single Cover May 29, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music , add a commentLady Gaga shocked us all with her cover shoot for Rolling Stone Magazine yesterday, and her cover for her latest single, Paparazzi is only slightly more demure.
As she’s actually wearing clothes this time some people may be happy, but some, clearly won’t. personally I think Gaga looks better with clothes on, because that we, we have something to admire, as her outfits are always mind-blowing… whilst bubbles, are, well, not.
Anyway, here we have a sneaky-peek at the cover for Paparazzi, which is out on July 6 with the video premiere at midnight on Channel 4 next Wednesday… ooh, midnight eh? Is it really that raunchy?
So, although this clearly isn’t a paparazzi shot of Gaga falling out of a club with a kebab in her and and her knickers on show.. in fact, the paparazzi wouldn’t even be able to get into her police photofit shoot…
What do you think of it?

H2 Images May 29, 2009
Posted by Helen in : Movies , add a commentJust when we thought that they could possibly remake anymore of the classic eighties horror movies Halloween is once again coming to the big screen in the form of H2.
It’s that time of year again, and Michael Myers has returned home to sleepy Haddonfield, Illinois to take care of some unfinished family business.
Unleashing a trail of terror that only horror master Rob Zombie can, Myers will stop at nothing to bring closure to the secrets of his twisted past.
But the town’s got an unlikely new hero, if they can only stay alive long enough to stop the unstoppable.
Take a look at the poster and new image.
Susan Boyle Hated By Media May 29, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , 7commentsA month ago we couldn’t get enough of this new ‘hero’ Susan Boyle – a woman who shocked the nation by not being an anorexic twig draped in the latest Topshop fashion yet still housing an epic voice deep in her lungs.
However, over the past week or so, people have started to take aim at Su-Bo, with the British media claiming she’s quitting the show / having a mental breakdown / becoming a diva… all manner of tittle tattle to bring a cloud over what should be a momentous moment for British music.
Don’t get me wrong, when I saw Susan for the first time I did think she was going to be rubbish, but her performance has only gone to prove that we really shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover and assume that to be successful in the music business we should all look like Cheryl Cole and her band of girls.
I’d decided to keep out of the whole thing and let the public decide on Saturday night, but after seeing a ‘debate’ on the website of a leading British newspaper saying; “Look at that singer. You gotta be kidding me! The last time Demi [Moore - a Su-Bo Supporter] saw hair like Susan’s, it was in Tina Turner’s armpit…. For at best, Susan Boyle is a good-to-very-good music theatre singer. In her first audition, her rendition of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables was terrific. This week’s performance of Memory from Cats? Rather less so. She is clearly a nice person -someone who has struggled all her life with learning difficulties – but she is not exactly Maria Callas.”
It then goes on to take a very personal attack on Susan; “And to be frank, the basis of her global fame is rooted in the fact that she is homely and plain, rather than glamorous and alluring. This is so patronising and invidious, particularly as the only person who does not realise this is poor Susan Boyle herself”
They also have a rather uncalled for pop at Amanda Holden when they comment on Amanda’s praise of Su-Bo; “ ‘This one little woman, from a tiny village in Scotland,’ said condescending judge Amanda Holden, who was wrong on both counts. Susan, in fact, is a big woman from a small town. Get it right, you star-spangled midget.”
The real clanger comes when the author discusses how much she hates the people involved in BGT, saying; “When the final BGT show is over, these rich, sophisticated people will climb back into their limousines, put the pedal to the metal and high-tail it back to the comfort of their well ordered lives, leaving scraggly Susan Boyle to her hairy fate. Yet how will it all end? Win or lose, what has become increasingly obvious is that Susan Boyle’s helter skelter journey down the flume of fame is going to have a very watery end. Whatever happens, it will end badly – and in tears.”
Personally I think these comments are 100% uncalled for from a publication who are supposed to be very supportive of women, and champion them making a name for themselves in such a male-dominated world… Susan Boyle might not be in FHM’s Top 100 Sexiest Women, and she might not have grasped how to deal with the media just yet, but let’s bear in mind, this woman has an incredible talent, and she is a ray of light in a time where the world looks so grey.
We’ve got your back Susan Boyle, we think you’re awesome.

Ruth’s Friday (Gaga) Fright May 29, 2009
Posted by Roslyn in : Daily Dis , add a comment
Obviously Lady Gaga is a woman who never likes to be snapped in jeans and a t-shirt, in face, we’re not even sure if she knows what denim is! So when we heard she was going to be gracing the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, we knew it would be interesting.
If you thought Susan Boyle was going to win this year’s Britain’s Got Talent then think again, as Stavros Flatley, the father and son dancers from Cyprus, are the competitors with the biggest chance to beat Susan Boyle in this Saturday’s finale. Place your bets now!
This may be the funniest news I’ve ever heard; Tango are to launch a fake tan. Yes, the soft drinks giant want to give you the chance to be tango’d with their very own bright orange fake tan. You know that Jodie Marsh and Michelle Heaton have already pre-ordered their bottles, so what’s stopping you?!
For all you Whovian’s out there the popular sci-fi hit Doctor Who is on the verge of making it to the big screen after the BBC announced that a script is being worked on. So will it be David Tennant or Matt Smith in the role of the Timelord? However big screen adaptations of TV shows don’t always work so while it could great it could also be a total disaster!
If you have tickets for any Depeche Mode show, be sure to double check the dates from us, as the band have had to pull a number of live dates as a result of Dave Gahan’s severe bout of gastroenteritis. Get well soon Dave!
Well, well, well boys and girls, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for… FemaleFirst’s Band Wars 2009 is now open for entries and we want YOU!If you’re in a band, or you know someone in a band who might want to get their little mitts on a weekend at a top London Recording Studio, some promotion from Momentum PR and the chance to get your hands on some Glamour Kills merch; then look no further… because July 12 is your chance to sort it out!

Would You Buy Tango’s Fake Tan? May 28, 2009
Posted by Laura in : Fashion , 2comments
It’s finally happened- the world has gone mad. Tango have created their own brand of fake tan, and from what I can gather, people actually think this is a good idea.
Ok, they think it’s something pretty hilarious, but imagine if this actually took off- people would be practically radio-active in the street.
We’ve already got the likes of Jordan and Jodie Marsh who love to look as orange as possible, so giving them this tan is like giving a dog their favourite biscuit! (no pun intended there)
Tango have defended their decision to launch the tan as innovative, which is code for ‘capitalise on the trend for fake tan and make as much money as possible from it.’
To be fair, linking their ‘you’ve been tango’d’ phrase to fake tan and launching a product out of it, is pretty brilliant thinking, and I think it has a possibility of taking off.
There’d be no way in hell I’d be persuaded to try it, but I’m sure others out there will and have a right laugh in doing do as well.
They’re going to trial them though ebay for the bargain price of £5.99, which is actually more expensive than actual fake tan, so perhaps they’ve pitched themselves too high to begin with?
Whatever the reason behind this crazy scheme, we have to admit- it’s one way to bring a smile to your face during this recession!
Lady GaGa Uncovers on Rolling Stone Cover May 28, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , add a commentNow, we all love someone who wants to push the boundaries in music, but with her latest magazine cover shoot for Rolling Stone Magazine, there is anarchy in the office as to whether she looks like she belongs on Playboy rather than the legendary Rolling Stone Magazine.
Now, in our eyes Rolling Stone is the bible for anyone with an interest in music, and this cover image is bound to make headlines all over the world, but the question is, do you love Gaga’s crazy fashion choices or loathe them?
Because surely, it should be all about the music, not how people look. Take Susan Boyle – an amazing singer, but the furthest you could get from Lady Gaga in the fashion stakes!
First New Moon Images May 28, 2009
Posted by Helen in : Movies , 2commentsOk so new Moon is one of the most highly anticipted movies of 2009 after the success of Twilight at the end of last year.
Just days after we brought the first look poster we can now show you the very first images from the movie which sees Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart reprise their roles of Edward and Belle.
