All change at the FJ Girls Twitter Page, yours truly has finally got the Twitter bug, not yet 24/7, but it’s getting there as it is proving a very useful tool for news and celeb info right down to the second it actually happens……….treatment for twitter addiction is just around the corner………….. yeeeehargghhh…………….LOL!

But seriously, the FJ Girls Twitter Page is now a good secondary news source for developing headlines in the female celebrity world. Whatever is going on in female celebrity land will have it’s rumblings here first then will appear at our blog later usually within a max of 24 hours and usually considerably quicker. Film Premiere’s, gossip, red carpet events, humour, London stuff, exceptional celebrity tweets worth looking at, live events and more will be appearing on this page. We are currently following a couple of  like minded celebrity bloggers that have their finger in the celebrity news pie 24/7, so highlights from their blogs will also appear. It’s going to be cutting edge and of course you can  avoid “following” …………………..but why would you want to do that?

Some drastic changes at the FJ Girls Twitter Page right across the board have happened this weekend. Here’s what’s currently going down!

1. A celebrity culling on our “following” list. Yes FJ has given some celebs the order of the boot and got brutal on who will be followed in future. If you’re boring, tweeting incessantly and blocking our channel with in effect spam, have nothing really interesting to say it doesn’t matter who you are, we are now de-following sharpish and that rule now includes celebrities as well. We had a culling over the last week or so especially on the celebrity front which is no loss to us as they are not following us any way and they won’t even notice as some have follow lists running in the millions. This means we are able to follow mere mortals that have something useful to say such as people who attend concerts, red carpet events and film premiere’s, celebrity bloggers like us, people who run quality fan sites and general people that are just plain hilarious and lead interesting lives instead of going on about their dog and its bowel movements or how nice their new hairdo is……………celebrity or otherwise………..lets face it……..it’s a yawwwwwn!. We are not saying stop tweeting basic lifestyle stuff but just don’t expect us to follow that or even retweet it!

2. The design of the FJ Girls Twitter Page  has changed, with a new logo a gold star with FJ on it, (simple and effective and looks more celeb) and a Britney Spears being chased by paparazzi multiple photo background. The background we may change to reflect the current buzzing headline of the time eg The Oscars, The Grammy’s, LiLo, major sporting event or whatever else is happening at the time. That’s on the drawing board but may happen in the future or it could be the current Female Celebrity of the Month. Gone is the buxom babe with the cleavage and the lusful look in her eye, it was all good stuff which was just thrown out at the time for a bit of a laugh like going fishing, but the new look is more celebrity focused which is what we are all about although we do still like a bit of cleavage here!

3. We are looking around for new people to follow but again if we follow and there is no return follow within a week or two, and you are nothing exceptional then we unplug our following without further ado…………that’s the way we operate now………you are not interested or can’t be bothered..then neither can we!

4. People that follow us and we decide to do a return followand then they  do a crafty? unfollow us a couple of days later thinking we will not notice, afraid yet again WE DO as we are now checking daily and are notified about this by a service as well and again we unfollow just as quickly. we’re not falling for that old trick.

5. People that follow us but are not 100% our bag but are still worth keeping an eye on go on our “fjgirlers” list, so we are aware of you but we are not following 100% but are following as part of a list instead. If the tweets suddenly become headline grabbing stuff then you are onto our main follow list pronto.Tht’s just the way we work here and it’s nothing personal.

6. At the time of writing we are down to about the low 30’s on who we follow on our “follow” list (an all time low) and are looking to hit 100 or so in the future but gradually.

All sounds nose in the air stuff and I suppose it is, and who the hell do you think you are? But this is not an ego trip, it just makes the fjgirls twitter stream we have something worth following and a good information source for us and other like minded people, we’ve basically had an information decluttering so that the stuff we are now getting  is focused, clear and the biz and female celebrity focused!

We check our twitter page multiple times in a day so we are very much aware of what is going on within that page and who our new followers, retweeters, unfollowers are for that day…………so you haven’t been missed!

As Twitter users are aware, on the surface Twitter does look a load of  garbage……….that was my initial thoughts for over a year hence only the rss feed updates from our blog, but delve deeper and it’s got some clever stuff going on and it’s all hash tags, lists, retweets, who you follow, who follows you more quality than quantity, direct messages, how many tweets in a day, using the @, blackberry, iphone, tweetdeck, how often your tweets are retweeted, trending topics, location tweets and heaps more. It’s a whole new world!

The FJ Girls Twitter page feed is now on our Community section of the site which is not yet fully live but we are working on and our Twitter feed will form part of the backbone for this community portal…so it’s an important development!

The Brit Band The Ting Tings have been away a while recording new material for their second album and this is one of the tracks of this new album offering which is due for release on 10th October. No full review on this as we only review with an official video but some views and a sampler video link are below:

The Ting Tings “Hands” Sampler Video

Views:

Being a bit of a Indie and Ting Tings and Katie White fan (she’s a bit of a mystery) this offering has been eagerly awaited to see if they stick with their musical roots or try something new or go all poppy on us?

Unfortunately it looks like they have gone all poppy on us, ditching their vibe, originality, classic drum beats and decent lyrics and cutting edge originality to come up with this very safe bland poppy number that really shows they’ve gone down the “we’ve got bills to pay like the rest of you” route and gone commercial and as a result the Ting Tings have lost their Ting and even their “Tings” and sold out on their musical roots. Not good…..not good at all!

Maybe this is a one off and the rest of the album is similar to their older material. Here’s what somebody called TheOfficialIndieKid had to say on You Tube:

“Sorry but evolution in music, means change and this just made The Ting Tings less desirable to people who enjoy real music, not manufactured pop acts and Xfactor idols. They appealled to Indie fans and Mainstream fans alike and that’s what made them a success, This song is repetative, boring and too mainstream, and you will see the sales of their next album plummet”

What can we say………….took the words right out of our mouth! It’s a sad fact you see this all too often. It will be interesting if this is their new direction whether they plan to drop their existing fan base in preference to a more commercial money making type of fan that will fill stadiums on live tours……………but with music like this????????

Will end this post on something I remember hearing at an award ceremony where The Ting Tings lead singer Katie White said after receiving her award:

“And thanks to our record company for letting us keep our original sound” or something along those lines.  How it looks like times have changed unless the rest of the album proves otherwise!

Alesha Dixon has a new number out on 5th September called “Drummer Boy”. The video on first appearances rocks, she’s gone as the Sun puts it “all M.I.A and tribal” on us, is this all shaping up to be a decent number from Alesha.

The Verdict.

“Harder…Harder….Harder” Hmmm! We like the video it kicks and it’s original  so top marks there and Alesha is looking just a bit on the steamy side.  Onto the song and this is where things start to hit choppy waters. “Breathe Slow” we reviewed some time ago came out at a incredibly good 4 stars and this song “Drummer Boy” has got to be as far removed from that song as you can possibly get.

We are a bit lost as to where this song is going, is it R and B….sort of, is it going down the club route, we’re not so sure. It’s got energy, it’s got mediocre lyrics and it’s got the very good Alesha vocals but we are lost on the message here, what’s it all about apart from Drummers. A big question mark also hangs over repeated airplay of this song as in longevity an important factor in our final rating?

For some reason it’s not pushing any buttons for us here at all although its scoring high on the originality front even if it does have M.I.A undertones. Does this mark a more aggresive musical direction for Alesha. Again we’re not sure we think this could be a toe bath water tester.

This song is going to cut it with a lot of people on the originality factor, maybe on a second listen it will grow on us, and chart wise Alesha has a decent following so it could do well………………….BUT we are not hitting replay on this and we’re ending up just slightly above neutral with a take it or leave it score from us. Rating 3 stars+, a technically competent and very original sounding tune laced with many question marks that with us mark it down!

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are one of those couples that are on and off for a lot of the time but seem to be pretty much ON at this event and Drew Barrymore and Justin Long who are a couple in real life play the long distance couple in this number.
