Spotify comes to Mobile Phones.

Fan of music? IPods cramped with music, tired of playing the same old tunes, then listen up.

Spotify a popular music streaming service that’s used by many users around Europe his expanding its service to mobiles users. The application will work on operating system Android, phone's using Google and the iPhone; these lucky users will be able to access four million tracks. It's like all your music dreams come true.

However the down side is that unlike the free streaming service for computers, mobiles users have to pay a subscription to download and save music. The application will be free to download, but then it will require a premium account which cost £10. Personally I don't think it's a bad bargain, an application you can't really go wrong with, but that's for all you readers to find out.

Even though it's only been launched one year, it has more than two million users in the UK, and a total of six million across Europe, keeping it mind it's not been launched in the US, but this might change.

Big Brother Winner is..


It's known for its back stabbing, bitching and arguments, three long months of the reality TV show Big Brother finally comes to an end. Glamour model Sophie Reader (20) from Cheshire, also known as “Dogface”, won 74.4% of the final vote, became the winner of Big Brother 10, beating runner up Siavash Sabbaghpour, who polled three times fewer votes then the winner.

She was the only female in last night's live final and couldn't believe it when host Davina McCall called her name. How will life change for her knowing she's won the prize fund of £71,320?, which had been returned to the prize fund when housemates completed tasks? Sophie plans to spend her money on clothes and gave some to charity.

If you haven't heard already Big Brother has recently announced that it plans to axe the show after the 11th series. It was once one of Britain's most talked about reality TV shows, attracting a total of ten million viewers in 2003, but now It's lucky if it makes half of that, the show rating are just going downhill. What can Big Brother do differently to increase the public views?

What's your view on Sophie winning Big Brother and the show being axed?

Michael Jackson Burial (1958-2009)


A known date that will not be forgotten, Michael Jackson, changing the world of music forever, having many successful hits that attracted the nation including Thriller, Bad and Smooth Criminal. The official day for Michael Jackson to be buried was on the 29th August, this would have been his 51st birthday, however this changed because the Family wanted more time to plan the ceremony.

Many tears and sadness for Michael Jackson's Family and Friends as the pop sensation his laid to rest at the Forest Lane graveyard in Los Angeles.

Guests including Dame Elizabeth Taylor, Macaulay Culkin, music producer, Quincy Jone, daughter of Elvis Presley and Jackson's ex-wife were amongst the 200 guests waiting in temperatures of 32C to pay their love and respect to "King of Pop", Michael Jackson, a tragic time for many his Family, Friends and fans.

The ceremony was due to begin at 0200 GMT, but it was delayed for an hour and half because of late arrivals of the singers parents, Joe and Katherine and his three children, which arrived to the ceremony in a motorcade of 31 vehicles.

The pallbearers of the ceremony were Michael Jackson's brothers, Tito, Jermaine, Jackie, Marion and Randy. Michael Jackson's children began the ceremony by placing a crown on his coffin.

Jackson will be joining a list of stars including Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart and Nat King Cole.

He may be gone, but not forgotten.

YouTube to Stream Movie Rentals


If you are a movie fan then this might be something that interests you, I know how difficult it can be finding decent movies with great quality, wouldn’t it be good if you could browse one site and find all what you heart desires. Well it may soon be possible.

Rumours have it that the online video site YouTube is in discussion with several major movie studios about renting movies to users by streaming it through internet, making it the first worlds popular video site , charging it’s users to watch full length videos.
The site currently allows you to watch videos, but how amazing would it be to watch full length movies online with the same quality as a DVD would have.

Many of the movies will be available for a fee; the cost of a rental would be around $3.99, the same price as new releases on iTunes. While others may offer users to watch them for free, but with advertisements.

I guess YouTube always thinking of ways to expand the company.

The question is do people want to pay a fee to watch movies online, when already they are a fair amount that allows you to watch movies for fee.

What’s your opinion on this?

Eastenders Makeover

How many of you Eastenders fans was tired of the same old opening title?

Starting from Monday, viewers will be in for a treat, because the popular TV soap will now include a revamped opening title sequence, which hasn’t been changed or edited in 10 years.It will still have the same concept as the original intro, but you will be seeing new changes, with a 3-D version of the map, moving clouds and boat, brighter colours and the Eastenders logo will fade onto the screen. Even the composer, Simon May has updated the Eastenders theme tune. What more could Eastenders fans ask for.

I want to say welcome Eastenders to the 21century, the old title sequence was getting a little boring.

Take a look and let us know what you think?

"Final Destination" VS "Halloween 2"


Just a few days in cinema and already proving popular, being top at the box office in the USA, with $28.3 million, in 3,121 theatres and easily beating Michael Myers in “Halloween 2”, which his currently 3rd in the box office listing, with $17.4 million. These two movies are competing against each other having being released the same day.

The fourth film in the “Final Destination “franchise has the biggest budget out of all the instalments, but it doesn’t seem to be getting favourable reviews from critics. So how can it be box office number one in USA, but still achieving bad reviews? Are people seeing the movie hoping for higher expectation and feeling let down once they have seen the movie. How long can “Final Destination” stay number one?


Having “Final Destination” taking the lead “Inglourious Basterds" slips to second place with $20 million, but having a total of $73.8million in just 10 days and a worldwide total of $132.9 million, it can’t be doing that bad.

Review of the “Final Destination” I saw the movie the day it was released, even though it was expensive for the tickets, I felt that it was going to be worth it, the worst part was waiting 40mins for trailers and adverts. (that’s the UK for you) The movie does keep you wanting more, with some creative death scenes and gore that will make you turn your head. If you have seen the other “Final Destination “movies then you know what to expect, escaping from death and death chasing after them. It’s hard to say which movie I consider best out of the franchise because some of the movie have elements that the other movies don’t. I did enjoy the movie, but I would have loved it to have been longer and made the ending different from the others. I think sometime the movie was predictable and you knew how it was going to end.

Should it be Halloween slashing Final Destination, you decide? Write your comments below.
