It seems as though Britney Spears has decided to adopt the mantra that ’sex sells’ and made her very own sex-fuelled video… have a sneaky peep….
Why is everyone making such a fuss over Rachel Adedeji being booted off The X Factor? I know she had a great voice, but after making a real spectacle of herself the week before with her Stacey impression, I’m glad to see the gback of her.
And speaking of The X factor, what the HELL was Cheryl Cole wearing on Saturday night? It looked like she’d leant over some dinner plates whilst covered in superglue… Lets face it Chezza, you’re never going to be Lady Gaga
Now I must admit I’m not one who blubs at every emotional movie that comes along but there are a handful that manage to get me sobbing into my hanky every time I sees them. So to celebrate the release of Bright Star this week we took a look at some of the most emotional tear-jerker movies of all time, The Green Mile gets me all the time!
After the great big fuss to-do and messing about last week for the premiere of This Is It it comes as no surprise to find that Michael Jackson’s behind the scenes movie has topped the American box office. Fans flocked to cinemas for one last chance to say goodbye to their hero and contemplate just how good those O2 shows might have been!
We are SO lucky this week to be having the gorgeous boys from The Blackout coming into our office, so make sure you send in your questions, but no marriage proposals please, I’m already asking for a diamond…

X Factor Blog: Week Two September 1, 2009
Posted by Melanie in : Music, TV , 3commentsI think we can safely say that Birmingham was not overflowing with talent after our X Factor judges visited the city on this weeks show. We might have got a little A to Z knowledge of the areas thanks to 50 year old Alan who kicked off the show this week, but talent was just not the focal point of Brum.
Just what possesses some folks to get up there and sing is beyond me. I am all for self-praise and loving yourself but seriously some of the people who audition have to be deranged. Let’s take for example The Stunners. Why oh why? With their confidence stuck in over drive you just knew they were setting themselves up for a fall. But they truly believed they were the business; even in their matching ensemble that looked like a Primark throw back circa 1999. It’s watching acts like these, that you really understand why the judges get paid the seven figures they do to judge this show.
With groups like the Stunners, Check-Out, Priceless and Double Trouble (no relation to Triple Trouble last week thank God) encouraging me to change channel tout suite along came the simply divine Miss Fitz. Made up of a 2006 reject and two gal pals she met when attending the audition the trio which would cause any red blooded persons head to turn brought a welcomed splash of originality to the show. Their jazzesque version of Toxic by Britney Spears had the judge’s toes tapping and rightly so. It’s about time folks realized to stand out you do need to be a little creative with it, although dressing up as a purple gorilla or with a chicken on your head might be taking it a little too far.)
With 2009 looking like it might just be a man’s year, the ability to entertain and take a risk with song choice paid off for Jamie Afro and the leather clad Behrouz who hit the stage with songs from Kings of Leon and the Scissor Sisters respectively. Talk about Rock Rules, I just couldn’t help thinking Ruth Lorenzo might appear on stage at any given moment.
Both guys deserve the boot camp pass without a shadow of a doubt but like Laura White last year will we see them struggle with song choices later on down the line when their style is so concentrated? Let’s hope not as for entertainment value they both kick ass.
It is acts such as these guys, and Danyl last week that are using this live audience to their advantage. They are giving us a preview of their stage presence, something we would never get when they were just performing in front of the judges and Simon’s bodyguards in previous years. This will obviously help them stay in the competition further down the line when the Judges mess up their songs and outfits if they do make the Final 12.
The X-Factor just isn’t the X-Factor without a sad story though is it? Daniel last year, and now Daryl Markham this year. Obviously stories like his put our lives in perspective and allow us to see ‘our’ Cheryl’s mascara run and tears well in Louis’s eyes proving that the four judges are very very human after all. You can’t help but wonder if Simon and Louis will eventually ridicule Daryl, just as Daniel was last year. Let’s hope for his sake he isn’t, but hey this is business right, nothing personal.
Of course can’t sign off without giving a mention to Rozelle Phillips who left her home of Trinidad and Tobaygo (said in a Dublin accent…gotta love Louis) to pursue her dream. Damn that girl can sing. ‘Our’ Cheryl said it was the best version of Jennifer Hudson’s One Night Only she has ever heard and for once I am in total agreement. This 21 year old has possibly put herself in pole position for the gals with her performance last night after blowing everyone out of the water.
The tension, the tension and from what I hear, the best is still yet to come….so until next time … Melanie Cornish XXX
Ruth’s Monday Mash-Up July 13, 2009

Could it be that Britney Spears is getting a bit too old for this performing lark after she collapsed during a recent rehearsal? She obviously hasn’t been drinking her Rockstar to give her energy!
Josh Lucas has revealed that he was ’shook up’ after shooting sex scenes for his new movie. Surely when you read a script about a sex mad con man you must realise that there will be a certain amount of sex involved… quit your whining!
“Now I’m the king of the swingers oh the jungle VIP” Come on admit it we have all sung along to one or two Disney songs in our time, and believe me there have been some real corkers. To celebrate Disney’s pulling power we are celebrating the best songs from seventy years of films.
Finally, if you’re a fan of Big Brother you can find all the gossip from the housemates locked inside Big Brother 10 on FemaleFirst – and trust me, we tell you how it really is.

Ruth’s Birthday Comedown… July 1, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Daily Dis , add a comment
Lots of exciting things came to light on my birthday yesterday, oh, thanks for your card, no, wait, I didn’t get it! Anyway, Britney Spears looks like she’s been getting the Michael Jackson treatment after internet hackers have started rumours that she’s died! Crikey! Don’t these computer geeks have anything better to do?
Peter Andre is just about to unleash his new album and guess what, he decides to launch another tirade against his ex, Katie Price. Just why Peter needs to share with us that he telephoned his estranged wife Katie Price to tell her that she is out of control I do not know, but either way, I think it’s time to change the record.
Luckily for parents of Marilyn Manson fans, the shock rocker has insisted that he’s not a low life drug addict, and that in fact, he only ever cracks out the narcotics when he’s happy. Brilliant.
The Sugababes were hoping for great things from their comeback show, but unfortunately, things didn’t quite go to plan as they forgot the lyrics to a number of their tracks. Eek, at least Girls Aloud don’t have to worry about their pop crowns!
Also, any ticket holders for Michael Jackson’s Michael Jackson’s 50-date residency at London’s O2 have finally been released so they can get their money back, should they not wish to hold on to the passes as souvenirs.
Finally, if you’re a fan of Big Brother you can find all the gossip from the housemates locked inside Big Brother 10 on FemaleFirst – and trust me, we tell you how it really is.

Ruth’s Sunday Sing Song June 21, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Daily Dis , add a comment
Poor old Amy Winehouse, it seems that her new favourite country doesn’t even want her anymore after a former government spokesperson branded her a “tattooed reptile” who has a “dangerous influence” on the country.
Do you think it’s time we told Britney Spears that she needs to give the whole touring thing a rest? Let’s face it, we love her, but at the moment she mimes on tour, she’s bursting out of her costumes and she was booed by fans in Manchester after making a geographical gaffe.
Sienna Miller isn’t happy unless she is having a good old moan this time it’s about her G.I Joe costume. It was too tight, she couldn’t breathe la-di-da you are getting a great big fat pay day at the end of it all what do you possibly have to complain about?

Ruth Gets Carried Away With Wednesday June 10, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Daily Dis , add a comment
Madonna has finally proven that fame can buy you anything, after getting the go-ahead to adopt four-year-old Mercy James. next thing we know she’ll just buy Africa.
Fancy seeing Britney Spears live at the O2 Arena for only £2? Well now’s your chance after she’s desperate to fill the venue at the weekend in case an empty venue would ‘present a poor image of Britney.’ No offence love, but I think you did that all on your own.
Peter Andre has given us all a glimmer of hope after revealing that he’s not seeking a “quickie” divorce from estranged wife Katie Price. After all, they want to drag out this publicity for as long as they can right?
It looks like stalking her ex girlfriend had paid off for Lindsay Lohan as she and Samantha Ronson have moved back in together and even hinted at a ‘big announcement.’ – You’re not preggers are you Li-Lo?
Tobin Bell has revealed that are going to be three more Saw movies, yes you heard me right they are going to drag this utter tripe out even more than they already have. Ok, ok so the first movie you could put up with, the twist at the end totally brilliant though, but talk about flogging a dead donkey all the films have been utter crap since then torture porn is not entertainment!
Finally, if you’re a fan of Big Brother you can find all the gossip from the housemates locked inside Big Brother 10 on FemaleFirst – and trust me, we tell you how it really is.

Oh Britney Spears, just when we think you’re getting back on the wagon, you go and take your top off, slap some fake tattoos over your nipples and start writing around a pole… will you ever learn?
Seems that Pete Doherty really is in Wastelands – that’s the name of his new album FYI – after he was found slumped in the toilet of a British Airways jet on his way to Geneva.
Those internet rats are always leaking music videos before they’re actually finished, but because FemaleFirst and the Black Eyed Peas have a special ‘understanding’ they have asked us to give you the official premiere of the, I Gotta Feeling music video.
Sleeping in your make up isn’t such a sin according to Little Boots . The singer thinks she “looks nice” when she sleeps in her make-up and apparently often goes to bed without cleansing. Hmmmm but will she still be saying that when she breaks out in spots?
It seems that Jason Issacs has been looking into some mysterious crystal ball and has come to some conclusion that Daniel Radcliffe will quit acting to be a director. Seeing as Radcliffe really has only had one major role, yes I’m talking about the boy wizard, I think it’s a tad early to be talking about retirement!
Oasis brought their music home to Manchester’s Heaton Park this weekend, with over 200 thousand fans coming to the city to see their ‘homecoming’ over the past three days. We think it’s time we salute one of the greatest British bands of all time.

Britney’s Topless Photos Leaked June 8, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , add a commentOh Britney, just when we think you’re getting back on the wagon, you go and take your top off, slap some fake tattoos over your nipples and start writing around a pole… will you ever learn?
Yes, that’s right folks, just when we all thought they days of ‘crazy Spears’ were over, she’s gone and pulled another stunt to keep her in the headlines; this time leaking a naked video of herself on the internet.
Making the most of the fact that ‘sex sells’ Britney must have realised that the innocent schoolgirl façade just wasn’t shifting records anymore, and decided she needed a new outrageous stunt to get a bit of attention now that Lady Gaga is the one we’re all watching.
So, how do you upstage someone like Gaga? Well, whilst Gaga struts around in all manner of fabulous outfits, Brit decided to go one better and wear nothing at all. Great.
The funny thing is though, that this dance routine, which sees the 27-year-old pop princess writhing around a strippers pole with her exposed breasts covered by fake rose tattoos, was actually filmed for the music video for her song Gimme More, but never actually made it into the official video.
Weird then, that they magically find themselves into the media just as Britney tries to drum up some publicity for the UK leg of her Circus tour… either way, she looks bloody good!
What do you think?

Is there nothing Michael Jackson won’t do to get himself in the headlines? First he had cancer, then he didn’t and now that people are talking about someone other than him, he decides he has cancer again, and is going on a hunger strike.
Britney Spears’ UK tour is one that the whole world has been waiting for with baited breath for many a month; would she sing, would she mime? Has she still got that sparkle we saw when she was clad in a schoolgirl outfit with pigtails…? Read our live review and find out.
Susan Boyle, wow, what a lady, in the past month she’s become a YouTube legend, been on Oprah, finished second in the UK’s biggest talented search and even had a meltdown and being shipped off to the Priory. Not content with doing all that though, Su-Bo has now been invited to sing for President Barack Obama on Independence Day.
We all know that Lily Allen is never far from a fight, and now it seem that Perez Hilton is the latest unfortunate soul to be in her sights.
You have to admit actor Dustin Hoffman does look good for his age yes? Does he eat healthy or go to the gym to stay trim? Er no Hoffman has admitted that it’s regular masturbation that keeps him fit. Not wishing to be funny or anything but information like that you really ought to keep to yourself pal i mean who really wants to know?
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!

Tuesday Celebrity In Focus May 12, 2009

The Brad and Jen of the backstreets of Britain, Jordan and Peter have officially announced their break up. Sob!
David Archuleta shares his name with a Japanese-based hip-hop vocalist and middleweight kickboxing champion. Amusingly, the two couldn’t be farther apart in terms of talent. We checked the American Idol (almost) out in Manchester last week…
It seems Kate Moss is not the unique style icon we all thought she was, the model actually gets her inspiration from another celebrity. But whose style is getting Miss Moss all excited? Is it Victoria Beckham? Nicole Richie? Maybe even Vanessa Hudgens? No its actually ageing Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood! Crazy!
You’ve got to love Heidi Klum. Only she would have a trailer trash wedding and it be proclaimed as a total fashion hit, when poor Britney’s real life trailer park wedding a few years back, was labelled as about as chavtastic as you could get. Crazy
Star Trek boldly went where no one had gone before this weekend when JJ Abrams prequel finally made it to the big screen. It may have grossed $76 million in America alone but is the film worth the hype?
Well, well, well boys and girls, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for…
