See? This is what she should stick to, not that dreadful 'solo singing career' nonsense she's insisting on carrying on with...

We Like. We like a lot...

PERFORMANCE: Alexandra Burke First Bad Boys Performance On X Factor

PERFORMANCE: Alexandra Burke First Bad Boys Performance On X Factor






With Alexandra Burke having been practically M.I.A for almost the past year (understandably, of course. She was completing a v. good first album, Overcome), everyone was expecting a kick-arse first performance on her return to the show that made her famous. And she didn't disappoint.

This is exactly the kind of performance a new artist should be coming with: tight choreography, singing live while dancing energetically (and sounding better than on the record whilst doing it) and looking FAB.U.LOUS. Our girl de-liv-ered. And can we just congratulate her on being No. 1 on Itunes UK right now? She's about to blow up and we just can't wait to see it...

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Sneak Peek Of Next Week's Episode - The Lost Girl

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Sneak Peek Of Next Week's Episode - The Lost Girl

Having watched, and lurved, last week's TVD episode, Family Ties, we were vair excited when we caught this on youtube. It features Elena -having realised a few truths about a certain Damon Salvatore - now regretting inviting him into her house that first time and him messing with her head a little, in that way we all love. We always knew her actions would come back to bit her in the arse...

Enjoy, ducklings...

VERDICT: Cheryl Cole Three Words Album Sampler

VERDICT: Cheryl Cole Three Words Album Sampler

Oh, Cheryl.

Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl.

What have you gone and done?

We had thought we were safe from having to hear Cheryl's weak voice anymore when GA practically called it a day, but then news of the (looking back) almost inevitable solo album reached our ears and, a few months later, we found the above lurking on youtube...

To backtrack, though, we heard the alarm bells ringing loud and clear as soon as we listened to the mistake that is Fight For This Love - an alright song (produced by Wayne Wilkins of Sweet Dreams fame, so you know it's not his fault) that was ruined by C.C.'s terrible singing, but could have been a lot better with Britney or even Rihanna (another weak vocalist, thought with a lot more emotion in her voice) on it. But this? You bring us this?

From the samples, Three Words is a weak album, with forgettable lyrics and alright-at-best beats, and autotuned-to-the-high-heavens vocals. We can't even be bothered to come up with creative insults for someone who we love as a presenter, person and X Factor judge, and, we hate to say it, but this has made us love C.C. just that little bit less.

Three Words, huh? The only three words Cheryl should have been hearing is 'just stop now'.

Songs To Skip To: Parachute we suppose, though that isn't saying much...

VERDICT 2.7/10 - W.A.B (Wack At Best). We wouldn't waste our money...

VERDICT: Vogue Nine Cover - Penelope, Marion, Kate, Nicole...


If we weren't already excited as Hell for Nine (released 25th December), then we most definitely are now. This Vogue cover featuring four of the nine stars is gorgeous, the red and gold theme so old-Hollywood, and they all look fierce on the cover. Naturally, some will complain about the airbrushing, but we think it's not too much - a lot less than some get (we could mention names, but we won't... today, anyway) and creates an ethereal theme that goes perfectly...

We like. We like a lot.

VERDICT: 8.7/10

Megan Fox To Be Killed Off In Transformers Three?

Megan Fox To Be Killed Off In Transformers Three?

Apparently not such 'happy families' any more...

We've always been advocates of 'Don't bite the hand that feeds you', but especially when it's practically signing you million dollar checks and has made you a worldwide star with your own Rolling Stone cover. And now, if sources are to be believed, a certain Ms Fox is about to learn that lesson first hand.

Insiders are claiming that Megan's character Michaela won't even live to see out the first fifteen minutes (how ironic, considering that's about how long her fame is going to last) of Transformers's third installment, with her suffering a 'gory death scene' before being replaced by yet another cookie-cutter young hottie (who, hopefully, will have considerably better acting skills than her predecessor). They've added:

“Michael’s pretty much discovered Megan and now he’s very quietly looking for her replacement. He hasn’t decided if he’s going to kill her off in the next movie, but he just wants to be prepared.”

Consider this your warning, sweetie. Better watch your back. And if you do get killed off, know not to refer to your boss as 'Hitler' next time.

Just a suggestion.

GOSSIP GIRL: Three New Sneak Peeks Of Next Week's Episode: Rufus Getting Married

GOSSIP GIRL: Three New Sneak Peeks Of Next Week's Episode: Rufus Getting Married

Having watched, and lurved, last week's ep Dan De Fleurette, and having already put up two sneak peek's of next week's Rufus Getting Married, we were overjoyed to discover these new ones on one our fave websites, gossipgirlinsider.

The first sees Dan, newly-crowned Queen J and Eric discussing the possibility that Vanessa may still have feelings for him (though, thanks to the previous sneak peek we know this most definitely isn't the case). While the second and third show Dan and Serena sharing moments with their prospective parents, which seem to cast doubt over whether their wedding will take place...

Enjoy, ducklings...

VERDICT: Marge Simpson's Playboy Cover

VERDICT: Marge Simpson's Playboy Cover

Undeniably one of the sex symbols of our time, we love us some Marge Simpson. And here she is looking FAB.U.LOUS on the cover of next month's Playboy, in a v. tasteful, yet still sexy, photo. As always, Ms Homer Simpson's bod is in banging shape and her trademark 'hive has never looked better...

VERDICT: 9.5/10

Sneak Peak: Two Clips Of Tonight's Vampire Diaries Episode: You're Undead To Me

Sneak Peak: Two Clips Of Tonight's Vampire Diaries Episode: You're Undead To Me

In order to get you even more excited for tonight's episode of The Vampire Diaries, below are two sneak peeks. And, from the look of it, things are really starting to speed up.

In the first, we see Caroline being begged for help by a trapped Damon (we know; we never thought we'd see the day either), but appearing to ignore him (thank God, though you know it's only a matter of time before he gets out. Still, did man really think she'd just let that whole 'tried to kill her' thing fly, and come to his rescue? Really, Damon, really.).

And in the second, Elena talks to her ex about Stefan's weird behaviour and whether she should be worried, and, straight after, something pretty weird happens...

Enjoy, ducklings...
