27th March 2012 Roundup

1. Channel Five orders another Celeb Big Brother. 


It's been announced today that another series of Celebrity Big Brother will air before the end of 2012. 




The original order for Big Brother was for one Celebrity series and one non-celebrity series a year, but due to the massive ratings and critical success of the celebrity one, the channel have ordered another series to be shown before the years out. The non-celebrity series has been cut back to 10 weeks to accommodate the new celebrity series, and that's the one I was gonna apply for. 


2. A new series of Torchwood is still possible. 


So says CEO of Starz. 







Last series, Miracle Day was co-produced between the BBC and Starz. It wasn't great. But I need my fix of Gwen Cooper. She is my life. 


Once the series ended, show creator Russell T Davies said it would be a while before any more Torchwood would be made. Today CEO of Starz, Chris Albercht told a newspaper that there's every chance another series will be made, it's just up to Russell when he's ready and got time to do it. 


Stars of the show John Barrowman and Eve Myles have both said they'd jump at the chance to return their characters of Jack and Gwen, and I wouldn't mind another series too, but I would like a good story that doesn't drag on like last time and a story worth telling.

New Music Monday

I've got a shit load of new music for you on this fine sunny Monday! All kinds of music, some of which you may love! 

26th March 2012

1. Dr Who's new trailer.


The BBC have released a trailer for Series 7 of Doctor Who! Check it out below. 




Looks exciting! I can't wait for it to return! What do you think?


2. New Twilight Breaking Dawn Trailer. 


It's a day for trailers apparently. Here's the new one for Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2. 




It's finally over! Urgh. I'm not a fan of the Twilight series so I'm glad this is the end of it. Unless they decide to make more god forbid! The new film hits cinemas 16th November 2012. 


3. Jennifer Lopez announces new single! 


We dunno if this is for a new Greatest Hits album, or a brand new album but Jennifer is releasing a new track, and soon!




The song is called 'Dance Again' and features Pitbull who featured on her smash hit come back track 'On The Floor' last year. I can't wait to hear it. Jennifer killed it with her last album Love? and I can't wait to hear what's next for her. Can you believe she hasn't even toured yet? I would love to see her in action! 


The new track drops on 30th March and the video will be released during American Idol the week after.

24-25th Weekend Roundup

1. Sport Relief raises a shit load of dollar!


On Friday night, while I was seeing The Hunger Games (more on that later), Sport Relief aired. 


Last time, the total at the end of the night was £29,323,818. Last night the total at the end of the night was £50,447,197! That. Is. Amazing. Especially in the current times we are living in. The 7 hour telethon featured the likes of mini episodes of Miranda and Outnumbered, as well as a Benidorm/Britian's Got Talent crossover featuring Simon Cowell. Well done to everyone involved and to everyone who donated! 


2. The Saturday night ratings are in!


And they are big! 
As you know BBC and ITV went head to head on Saturday night with The Voice and Britain's Got Talent going up against each other. As predicted, BGT got the bigger ratings at 9.43m and peaking at 10.93m, while The Voice managed 8.43m and peaking at 9.6m. BUT when the two shows clashed for 20 minutes, The Voice thrashed BGT. Between 8PM and 8:20PM, The Voice had 8.9m watching, while BGT had a measly 6.71m. So The Voice technically won this battle of the talent shows! Congratulations. 


You can read my review of The Voice later. 


3. BBC renews Being Human. 


The series 4 finale aired tonight and shortly afterwards, it was announced via their Twitter account that Series 5 has been commissioned for 2013!




I'm not sure whether this is good news or not yet. Being Human has gone through some massive changes in Series 4. 3 out of 4 main cast left, leaving just Annie. While Tom was introduced in series 3, he stepped up as a main cast member, along with new character Hal, the vampire. I haven't been keeping up with this regularly because me and my sister like to watch it together and we never have the same day off to watch it! What I've seen so far has been good. Not as good as previous series, but good in it's own way. 


I think I need to watch the rest of the series and see what happens before I pass judgement on whether series 5 is a good idea. 


4. Katy Perry takes Number 1!


Katy Perry has scored her third UK number 1 with new single 'Part of Me'.




Someone has knocked creepy Gotye off the top spot finally! Urgh. Still cannot stand that song, or understand the love for it. Anyway, here's the UK Top 10 in full with links to each song! 



  1. Katy Perry - Part Of Me
  2. Sean Paul - She Doesn't Mind
