Andrea Corr and behind the scenes on her new music video. A comeback analysis?

Andrea Corr

Andrea Corr

Andrea Corr has been out of the headlines recently the last time we did any coverage was when she got married a couple of  years ago. She’s famous for being originally part of The Corrs the hit Irish band that had 3 sisters and one brother of which Andrea Corr was the eldest and lead singer. They produced a stack of hits in the mid to  late 90s and early 2000s and these people were big in their time and hit multiple platinum.

Andrea Corr “Tinsel Town in the Rain” Behind The Scenes Music Video Shoot

It looks like Andrea Corr has decided to make a comeback  and launching her solo career for a second time, (first time 2007) so you could say it’s a double and she is currently in the process of shooting her new music video for her new single and the album is called Lifelines.. get the full coverage of that in Todays Sun. (above) It’s starting to hit the media, we thought we would take a closer look.

Amy Winehouse New Album and Tour Dates News but not without drama?

Amy Winehuse

Amy Winehouse? There’s been rumblings of this mysterious album for a long time now but  when it comes to Amy Winehouse things normally have a bit of drama mixed in somewhere. Things are never quite as straight forward as you would expect. So there’s some good news and there’s some………..well……….. not so good news. This headline has been out about a day or so.

First off the good news. Her new album looks to be completed at long last . Seem to remember in the early stages of development this album was going to be about her favourite types of food, this may have changed in the final cut, you just never know with Amy but the album is completed, that;s something  and it is ready to be released.

Nicki Minaj and "Did It On Em" Official Video?

Nicki Minaj

New video from Nicki Minaj called “Did It On Em” this is the internet version. Apparently directed and edited by DJ Scooby Doo courtesy Young Money/Cash Money Records. Currently unable to review this song with our current internet connection going slower than a slow thing in the slow lane and slower than dial up.  Took 10 minutes to get to 3 seconds on this vid and the opening credits. By all accounts this is the official video although as stated earlier we can’t vouch for that as we didn’t see it. We’re sure it’s good and a dazzling new wig will feature in there somewhere…………………Enjoy…………….Yo?

Tulisa and the latest X Factor UK Judge news. A closer look?

What a disaster this is. So with Cheryl Cole leaving the UK X Factor for the US Version only to be given the chop after a couple of weeks with the words “things don’t seem to be working out pet and adios”  (see previous artcicle) being muttered in her ear we now have Cheryl Cole back in the UK with her tail between her legs and apparently  not answering phone calls to return to the UK Version according to the gossip grape vine and lets face it can you blame her. My attitude would be X Factor…………..you can stick it and keep your money! By all accounts Cheryl has received quite a handsome leaving present in the form of a decent payout for her booting from the US version but that’s not the point is it……………it’s not about the money.

Looking at this from Fox’s the TV producers point of view if ratings slip dramatically then the axe wil come out sharpish and probably even quicker in the States and unfortunately Cheryl Cole was on the receiving end of that axe swing. Still think though they should have done a dry one and test with her to get a test audience reaction instead of just chucking her out there live on prime time and hope for the best. That’s not very professional is it?

The X Factor auditions for the UK version will be beginning this Wednesday and Thursday and apparently Simon Cowell the man himself is in the UK for obvious reasons and also for Britain’s Got Talent affectionately known on Twitter as BGT which is also underway. You could say he’s got his hands full and maybe juggling too many balls. He’s a businessman and a ruthless one at that and he comes across as a numbers man and the bigger numbers and the cash cow is the US X Factor, that’s his baby and that’s where his priorities lie. Names, personalities, peoples feelings and those sort of things  don’t really come into it……it’s business. That’s just the way he is and the way you have to be in the media game!

This event though is very good at pulling in the celebrities and particularly the Brit ones and we are taking a celebrity spotting angle on this particular news headline and celebrity spotting with sunshine is our particular focus. . Gerri Halliwell of ex Spice Girls fame decided to make her presence known in Monaco along with other names including the Eccelstone entourage including Tamara Ecclestone,  Bernie Ecclestone and Petra Ecclestone. Other names that the local paps spotted included Gary Cockerill,   Henry Beckwith and Tamara Beckwith and Jamie Roberts .

Bank Holiday Monday at Famefad?

Normally don’t post weekends or on bank holidays unless there is something exceptional but with the weather in London looking your typical grey and gloomy with blazing sunshine probably predicted about 8pm onwards this evening , some posts may be appearing throughout the day. Yours truly will be floating around and having a look to see what is going down in celebrityville especially London as there seems to be quite a lot of stuff going on here over the weekend

Just one problem though……………. our internet connection seems to have gone back to slower than dial up. To give you an idea of how slow things are at this end it takes 30 seconds to a couple of minutes to load “The Google page” ????  Luvvverrrly. The language at this end you would not believe.  We’ve tried everything it looks like some maintenance is going on so bear with us and we are on the ISP’s case.

No photo with this post as that would probably take 2 hours to download,. Suppose there’s always the mobile.  Happy Days. The spanners are out……………this could be interesting???????/

Is Maria Sharapova in with a chance of winning the Womens 2011 French Open?

Maria Sharapova

Maria Sharapova

Maria Sharapova! Headlines stating Nadal and Sharapova Improving in French Open is the reason for this rather lengthy article. Maria Sharapova, very popular star on this site in the past for obvious reasons as she is a looker of the first order and she has a huge following.

We’ve been following this one closely and keeping a look out and she’s had a rocky couple of seasons previous with flashes of brilliance in the lesser events but remained either just outside the top 20 on World rankings or somewhere at the lower end of the top 20 spectrum. That long running shoulder injury was mainly to blame and that Wozniacki defeat last year must have also hurt, and it does hit the confidence and as with everything in life, no confidence……….and you’ve got problems! We saw her win some lesser titles last year or reach the closing stages BUT when it came to the Grand Slam events for some reason she just wasn’t cracking it.

This season looks to be a very much different affair so far. She’s currently seeded world no7 in the World Rankings the highest she has been some time and recently won at Rome prior to this French open event. Confidence levels must be high and that’s what makes winners!
