Dannii Minogue

I don’t normally post TV stuff … but it's kinda to do with music... I’ve only just managed to see the Piers Morgan’s interview with Dannii Minogue last night (that was actually broadcast over the weekend) and I have to say she’s completely shown the public that she is in fact… Human!
The interview was brilliant, Dannii talked openly about many aspects of her life, from having to do ‘Playboy’ because she was £150.000 in debt, Kylie’s cancer period, and her relationship with a certain Mrs Osbourne to her marriage with former Prime Minister son and having children….
If you missed it, I certainly urge you all to check it out! ~ It will certainly change your opinion of her (and in a good way!)

Rhydian (whose debut record came out last year), revealed that he had more creative control over his latest offering.
“I had a much more free hand with this album. I could spend my career trying to reinvent myself but ultimately this is me as a real singer,” …”This is very much where I envisaged being when I was at music school. I'm made up. It's brilliant. And long may it continue.”
This album includes a collaboration with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and cover versions of “Land Of Our Fathers”, “Myfanwy”and “How Great Thou Art”

Shakira

I don’t know what’s happened to Shakira since the release of her last album: “Oral fixation Vol.2” back in 2005 and her current “She wolf” but she’s certainly come back with a bang in the ole sexier department!
Not satisfied with (the still shocking) video for “She wolf” she’s back with her new single “Did it again” and this time it involves … a sauna and a group of women! As well as some more rather raunchy acrobatic moves…

Leona Lewis

Leona Lewis wowed fans last night at the ‘Hackney Empire’ in London with hits like: “Bleeding love” and “Run”.

Celeb’s in the crowd included Simon Cowell … Bring on the tour next year is what I say, just don't forget to play The O2 in Dublin!
