Saw VII

Saw is the latest franchise to fall in the 3D gimmick which I think is ruining some of the movies in the cinema at the moment. I have no problem with with CGI type movies being shown in 3D as CGI allows for this more effectively. ‘Avatar’ for example worked in 3D as so much  [ Read More ]

Christina Aguilera

I’ve always like Christina Aguilera – and I’ll be the first to admit she is no Britney or Gaga. That being said, I do think she deserves her own category – She’s not trying to be anyone else. People online are always mouthing about how she has always tried to be like Britney Spears or now like Lady Gaga  [ Read More ]

Saturdays

The Saturdays are set to release a mini-album in August called ‘Headlines!’ – as an attempt to re-inject some interest in their careers following the very poor performance of their second album last year. ‘Forever Is Over’ and ‘Ego’ performed well as singles but the album sales were crappy. I thought there had shelved their album  [ Read More ]

Lady Gaga - Alejandro

If you have already been to the Monster Ball, or are going again later this year when she comes back around – here is one of the Interlude videos in HQ from the tour. Its kind of freaky – but was amazing on the night… Video features backward legs, paint vomit and eating raw flesh…

On July 22, the album’s second single ‘Teenage Dream’ leaked onto the web and Perry counteracted the leak by releasing the  [ Read More ]

Scissor Sisters

If you haven’t heard the new Scissor Sisters album yet, I would strongly advise you get it pronto and wrap your ear holes around the fantastic sounds of the Scissor Sisters. It is quickly becoming one of my favourite albums of the past few years – I love all but one song on the album,  [ Read More ]

Dundrum

Today has been interesting to say the least. As I was sitting at home on the couch (hungover), I was flicking over my Twitter Feed and saw the following tweet: “Just heard: Two guys asked to leave Dundrum town centre for kissing?!” Which was followed by: “2 guys were kissing, security man asked them to  [ Read More ]

NeYo Beautiful Monster

NeYo is back after a series of flop singles in 2008 and 2009. Ne-Yo got ‘Closer’ to Number 1 in the UK back in 2008 but his most recent single from ‘Year of the Gentlemen’ barely climbed inside the Top 20… Ne-Yo is now back with his fourth studio album ’Libra Scale’ and the lead single is ‘Beautiful Monster’ which  [ Read More ]

Jedward

Jedward are about to release their second single to be taken from their ‘Planet Jedward’ album out this week – ‘All The Small Things’ – a cover of the Blink 182 track from a few years ago. The song is pretty dire (and thats against my standards) but you have to admire their determination. Who  [ Read More ]

Thanks for checking  [ Read More ]

Marina

Marina and the Diamond’s next single will be ‘Oh No!’ I like the song and the video. I’m loving the fact Popjustice have commented on the video saying this is what Marina would look like if she was in the Saturdays Hilarious! Here is the video:

Saturdays

So The Saturdays have decided to leave Wordshaker on the shelves and move on to their third album (rumoured to be called Headlines) this summer. The lead single from the album will be this slow summer song ‘Missing You’. Have a look and see what you think – I think its a bit bland and  [ Read More ]

Scissor Sisters

We went to see the Scissor Sisters ‘Night Work’ tour in the Olympia last night in Dublin and it was Awesome. I was really looking forward to the concert and went in with the expectation of being entertained and the certainly didn’t disappoint. The show started at 9pm on the button when Jake and Ana  [ Read More ]

Lea Michele

Lea Michele (or Rachel from Glee) performed ‘Don’t Rain on my Parade’ live at the Tony Awards this year. The Tony’s are essentially the Oscars but for theatre/broadway instead of movies. Lea Michele is no stranger to theatre (Les Mis, Spring Awakening) - watch her amazing performance. I love how she see’s Jonathan Groff in the  [ Read More ]

DianaVickers

I have been listening to Diana Vicker’s #1 album – Songs From a Tainted Cherry Tree and guess what… its brills! I love it. Apart from the obvious ‘Once’ and ‘The Boy Who Murdered Love’, another song which stands out is the wonderful ‘Put It Back Together Again’. It is so unlike the music I  [ Read More ]

GloZell

I fricken love these (thanks to my other half for introducing me to the wonderful world of GloZell):

Gaga

The Alejandro video had its world premier on Lady Gaga’s Vevo YouTube channel. The 19 second preview had accumulated over 2.5million hits in less than a week, so I suspect this will sky-rocket up the most viewed charts in a matter of days. The first thing I noticed while watching the video (apart from all  [ Read More ]

Seen as I am off to see Leona live in Dublin in two weeks, I came across this video which is played in the back when Leona performs the excellent ‘Outta My Head’. I’ve read some great things about the Labyrinth tour and am actually excited to see her live. Check out the song –  [ Read More ]

Oranmore

As the sun set this evening in Oranmore, it caught my eye, so off out into the garden I went with the camera and I took a few photos. The first one below is from this evening… in Oranmore (not the Sahara). Just looking back over some of my older photos from the past few  [ Read More ]

True Blood

True Blood is back on June 13th – and HBO have just released the following trailer for Season 3… Looks class – I cannot wait:

DianaVickers

The video has surfaced for Diana Vicker’s second single ‘The Boy Who Murdered Love’. Following the #1 single ’Once’ from Diana’s #1 album ’Songs from the Tainted Cherry Tree’, this song is pleasently lovely. What is happening me… Diana Vickers is creeping into my heart and I am starting to consider giving her album a listen – she  [ Read More ]

At a rumoured 8 minutes in length, Lady Gaga has given a 19 second preview of her upcoming ‘Alejandro’ video to the public to whet our apetites until it’s full release next week… Love the song, and loving the look of the video.

So the Glee Season 1 finale is just around the corner (next week in fact), and YouTube seems to have the video of the cast performing ‘Faithfully’ – how I don’t know seen as I have never seen a full song clip online before the episode aired, and even post-airing, they are usually taken down  [ Read More ]

Leave Me

WOW – Saw this and it really got to me… Then I showed it to three heartless gombeens who were just looking at me once the credits rolled… What do you think?

Kylie's Back

Well, at 00.01am this morning, MSN didn’t update with the new Kylie video, so I suspect someone working there is dead this morning as they have lost out big time on the world exclusive of the Kylie video and all the associated traffic that goes with it. The video went up elsewhere – and its  [ Read More ]

Kylie - All The Lovers

Kylie has just announced on her website that the video for ‘All The Lovers’ will premiere at 00.01 tonight! Cool… In the mean time… here is a sneak peak! I am loving this song the more and more I hear it. Can’t wait to see the full thing:

McDonald’s in France have launched a new gay ad campaign entitled “Come As You Are” which promotes McDonald’s being a place where people can feel free to be themselves… Check out the video and see what you think.  Its a bit random in a way and I can’t see a flock of gays heading down to  [ Read More ]

Just stumbled across this video online from the new UK boyband ‘The Wanted’ and dya know what…? Its not half bad and I’m loving the guy they seem to have pushed to the front (Max – shaved head, he sings the first line). Anyway, see what you think – I reckon we could have another  [ Read More ]

Ireland and the Eurovision

In honour of Niamh Kavanagh getting through to the Finals of the 2010 Eurovision, I just had a quick look over Ireland’s past entries and think, despite the fact we hold the record for most wins, we also have some seriously dodge acts: Case in Point 1 – Donna and Joe (Cant even cope with  [ Read More ]

Kesha

I fricken love this song – and I love these guys who made this video months ago for a Kesha competition only to discover the competition was only for remakes of ‘Tick Tock’ – How pissed off would you be! Anyway, have a listen and see what you think…

YouTube

Check this singing sensation out – She is only 2 but here she is singing Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby’ with a remote for a mic! Love it… She is my idol:

Scissor Sisters

The new Scissor Sisters video for ‘Fire with Fire’ (the lead single from their ‘Nightwork’ album) has surfaced on Music channels and… I’m a bit disappointed.

BB Eye - Series 11

The BB eye for this year has been revealed – and I was correct with my assumption would be like a funeral wreath – seen as it will be the last BB on Channel 4. The series is expected to start in the first or second week in June. I can’t wait. Also, the funeral  [ Read More ]
