Ruth’s Sunday Snippet

I can’t actually believe that R Kelly’s ‘people’ are trying to get money out of Michael Jackson’s ‘people’ six months after he died, and over something that happened in 2003! Sure Mr Kelly shouldn’t have left it over six years before asking to be paid?

Pete Doherty – the man I feel ever so sorry for since he won me over during a game of football in Preston – is going to be questioned by the police over the death of his ex-girlfriend Robin Whitehead. Why, oh, why can nothing ever go right for this poor fellow?

January is almost over and it’s time to looks forward to the movies that are coming our way over the next few weeks. And as usual FemaleFirst is on hand to suggest what you should be watching. The Princess and the Frog, Invictus, The Lovely Bones and Ponyo you are going to be spoilt for choice!

Rest assured all you Trekkies Zachary Quinto is not leaving Star Trek and the role of Spock. It seems that Quinto has been a little less than clear over his future in the franchise sending fans into a frenzy.

Ivyrise are officially our favourite celebrity best mates (sorry about that Sebastian Vettel) and seen as though they’re dead nice and hunky and have a new single coming out, we thought we’d invite them back into our office.

Ruth’s Saturday Slice

Jonas Brothers fans can breathe a sigh of relief as singer Joe Jonas has brushed off rumours the group is splitting up after younger brother Nick took a time out to form his new band The Administration. And here I was thinking pop music was about to get better…

Boy George is making a comeback, great, my mum will be thrilled – yet he’s named his song Amazing Grace, and the video is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

Roger Federer has set up a mouthwatering Australian Open clash with Andy Murray after crushing Jo-Wilfred Tsonga in the second semi final. Murray is looking for his first Grand Slam title and after Federer’s display today he may have to wait a bit longer.

Robert Downey Jr has admitted that he has no intention of giving up the action roles as he gets older. The actor can be seen bare-knuckle boxing in Sherlock Holmes and is returning to Iron Man later this year. Sherlock brought him a Golden Globe of course he’s not going to give it up!

Sex and the City 2 Images

Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda take another bite out of the Big Apple in the sequel to the 2008 blockbuster.

Returning in their starring roles, as the four great friends are Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.

Of course, where would these women be without their men?

Also back for the much-anticipated sequel are Chris Noth as Mr. Big, David Eigenberg as Steve, Evan Handler as Harry, Jason Lewis as Smith, Mario Cantone as Anthony and Willie Garson as Stanford Blatch.

There are also rumours to be a third film in the pipeline so it looks like the Sex and the City ladies are going to be around for a while.

Sex and the City 2 is released 28th May.

Season of the Witch Images

Nicholas Cage has been a busy boy of late and Season of the Witch is just one of the projects on the horizon for the OScar winner.

A medieval knight undertakes a mission pitting him against a devious witch and making him the last hope for the world against an ancient and dark force.

His faith broken by years of battle as a crusader, Behmen returns to central Europe to find his homeland decimated by the Black Plague.

While searching for food and supplies at the Palace at Marburg, Behmen and his trusted companion, Felson are apprehended and ordered by the dying Cardinal to deliver a young peasant girl, believed to be the witch responsible for the Plague, to a remote abbey where her powers can be destroyed.

Behmen agrees to the assignment but only if the peasant girl is granted a fair trial.

As he and five others set off on this dangerous journey, they realize with mounting dread that the cunning girl is no ordinary human, and that their mission will pit them against an evil that even in these dark times they never could have imagined.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Trailer

Ok we may have brought you Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps images earlier this week but tody you can take a peak at the first trailer for the movie.

As the global economy teeters on the brink of disaster, a young Wall Street trader partners with disgraced former Wall Street corporate raider Gordon Gekko on a two-tiered mission: To alert the financial community to the coming doom, and to find out who was responsible for the death of the young trader’s mentor.

Oliver Stone is back in the director’s chair with Michael Douglas returning to the role of Gekko.

Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin and actress of the moment Carey Mulligan are also on the cast list.

Check out the trailer, the mobile phone is a classic:

I Love You Phillip Morris Trailer

I Love You Phillip Morris is the improbable but true story of a spectacular charismatic conman’s journey from small-town businessman to flamboyant white-collar criminal, who repeatedly finds himself in trouble with the law and on the lam, brilliantly escaping from the Texas prison system on four separate occasions – all in the name of love.

Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) leads a seemingly average life – an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie (Leslie Mann), and a member of the local police force.

That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he’s gay and he’s going to live life to the fullest – even if he has to break the law to do it.

Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft spoken man named Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor).

His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another.

Take a look at the trailer for the movie:

Jordan: ‘I’ve Won Big Brother’ – Err, What?

OMG… what on Earth is Katie Price on? This morning I was happily driving to work, listening to the Chris Moyles show and looking forward to watching the Celebrity Big Brother final tonight when I heard someone say the cover of The Daily Star read something like; Jordan: ‘I’ve Won Big Brother.’

Well I nearly run over the lollypop lady I was in such utter shock, come on Katie, get a flaming grip – you’ve not been IN the show, you’ve hardly said anything to your favourite tabloid reporters throughout the course of the show and now you claim you’ve won? Get lost!

Before I start ranting about the only reason she could have possible ‘won’ is because she’s kept her trap shut and left Alex to get on with it, I would like to point out that The Daily Star have revealed that the Barmy Pricey is claiming that Alex and Danes success is all down to her.

Apparently, because they’ve both bedded her, that’s the real reason that Alex is the bookies favourite to win, with Dane a close second… oh I see, well perhaps Katie should take a moment to see what her night of passion with Gareth Gates did for his career, and then get back to us?

She’ll no doubt be swanning around at tonight’s final at Elstree TV Studios to show her support for Alex, especially since she told The Daily Star; “He is doing great in CBB. I’ve always been a fan of reality TV. I love BB but when you know somebody really closely, it’s a different kind of viewing. He has been himself and I know no different. He is good fun.”

Yeah, we know you love reality TV Katie, we can never get you off the box, even when The Wright Stuff were talking about you, you couldn’t resist ringing in and making a total fool out of yourself.

Oh, I am angry, I can’t believe she’s claiming they’re where they are because of her… clearly Channel 4 picked them both because they anticipated fireworks, but Alex, Dane and even Peter Andre have proven themselves to be amazing men, to be honest, I think Katie should be taking a leaf out of their book.

I want Alex to win because he’s proven himself as a decent guy, NOT because he’s affiliated with Katie Price. But who is your money on?

Ruth’s Friday Fizz

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have really proven that romance is dead this morning, by revealing that their visit to divorce lawyers DOES have something to do with them splitting up – just not yet.

As with most of the I’m A Celebrity contestants, Sabrina Washington was hoping her stint in Oz would bring some sparkle back to her name and breathe new life into her music career…. Judging by our new snaps from her new video, it looks like she’s having a good crack at it.

Jason Derülo officially became my most requested song over the festive period (despite the fact that only ONE DJ actually played it) and now that I’ve heard his new single, In My Head, I’m actually even more in love with him.

Vinne Jones would be furious if he could read this now… it looks as though ‘Rocky’ AKA Alex Reid has overtaken him as the favourite to win this year’s Celebrity Big Brother.

Britain’s seventy four year wait for a male Grand Slam champion could be over as Andy Murray made it through to the Australian Open final. The Scot saw off Marin Cilic in four sets and even managed to crack a smile!

Titanic’s twelve year reign as the biggest grossing movie of all time has come to an end this week as Avatar takes over the top spot. Avatar broke through the $1 barrier in just 17 days and could reach $2 billion before it’s cinema run comes to and end.

Ivyrise are officially our favourite celebrity best mates (sorry about that Sebastian Vettel) and seen as though they’re dead nice and hunky and have a new single coming out, we thought we’d invite them back into our office.

OMG… You MUST Listen To This New Song By Japanese Voyeurs

Okay, I’m going to be honest with you (not that’s I’m always honest like…) the first time someone emailed me about the Japanese Voyeurs I just ignored them because I thought their name was a bit daft – I’m sick of hearing about Japan considering my ex boyfriend dumped me and is now married to a Japanese girl and shacked up with her and the kids… but couldn’t commit to me!

Anyway, another contributing factor (other than the dumbass ex) was the fact that their debut EP was called ‘Sicking And Creaming’, I mean really? I’m all about play on words, but that just makes me feel sick. And I like the FFAF song Kicking And Screaming.

So they went in the ‘never to review’ box.

But after being persuaded to watch the video for their new single, That Love Sound, by a little acquaintance of mine, I am quite impressed, and almost feel bad for never giving their first release a try… but I cam make up for it now right?

So, the single will be released on February 8th 2010, via – wait for it, another ridiculous name coming up – Slimeball Records, and I can assure you it’s going to be in all the grungy clubs in not time.

So, if you like that song at the end of that film 10 Things I Hate About You, you know, the one that goes; “I want you to want meeeeee, I need you to neeeeeed me”. then you’ll probably like this.

Celebrity Big Brother : Nicola T & Ivana Trump Evicted

Nicola T and Ivana Trump fell at the final hurdle last night when they were booted out of the Celebrity Big brother house in a shock eviction.

Ivana, 60, became the first housemate to leave the enclosure after just 5.74 per cent of viewers voted for her to win the series – the poor thing, she wasn’t that bad surely? Either way, she was humble and said; “I had a fantastic experience. I met some really wonderful housemates.”

[picappgallerysingle id="7696991"]

The second eviction – Nicola T – was a total shock though, especially since everyone thought it would be Vinnie Jones doing the walk of shame… however Nic only bagged herself 6.15 per cent of the public vote – I guess people just didn’t have strong feelings about her either way.

The glamour model, 27, was in the Diary Room wearing a chicken outfit when she was told she was ut, and she had to leave the house immediately, with no chance to say godbye to her housemates or put on any shoes.  Speaking to Davina afterwards, she said: “It has been amazing, a massive rollercoaster of wickedness and boredom as well. I probably would have cried if I did say goodbye.”

[picappgallerysingle id="7696952"]

Bless her… but the most exciting event was when Davinr entered the house in Nicola’s chicken costume, pretending the model had returned, it was her first time in the house in the middle of a series and she was shaking with nerves after housemates “sussed” her!
