What I think about films, TV and celebs!
The Greatest Showman crew getting ready for the show to start!
In case you didn’t notice from my previous posts – my picture gallery and behind-the-scenes gossip – I went to the BRITs for the first time ever last night. It was also my first time inside an actual awards show, not to mention a live one, and I had no idea what to really expect. Here is what my first BRIT Awards experience was like.
Like I said in my BRIT Awards picture post, I had never been inside an awards show before and certainly not one that is televised live so it was a new and exciting experience.
The general layout of the O2 Arena
On Wednesday night I had the absolute pleasure of attending the BRIT Awards for the first time. It was unexpected, last minute and so exciting and my first time inside an actual awards show, since my times at the BAFTAs have been in a room inside the venue, not THE room.
Little Mix
So I was back at V Festival again Sunday and it was so much better than Saturday in terms of the quality of acts, weather and general enthusiasm. Here are the highlights…
Yesterday I went down to Wembley Stadium to catch all the music stars performing at the Capital FM Summertime Ball and it was a lot of fun, except that the big, big acts like Zayn Malik, Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas didn’t do press so I didn’t get to see them. Sad times.
Tonight in London Little Mix hosted a fan event to celebrate the release of their third album Get Weird on Friday. They treated guests to acoustic versions of some of their singles, played snippets of new album tracks and answered questions from the audience and from Twitter.
I was down at London’s Wembley Stadium on Saturday for the Capital FM Summertime Ball and it had an amazing star-studded line-up. Not all the stars did press but I managed to grab pictures of One Direction, Fifth Harmony, Little Mix, Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, Carly Rae Jepsen, Rixton, Martin Garrix and Lunchmoney Lewis – check out my gallery.
Beyoncé
I love this advert! It is such a brilliant concept and it is very clever. B basically has a dance-off with old versions of herself- Destiny’s Child B, Crazy in Love & Single Ladies are just examples. We also hear a new track called Grown Woman, which will be released on 8th April.
Great Gatsby
Here is the new trailer for the upcoming Baz Luhrmann flick, starring Leo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan & Tobey Maguire. Personally, I think this trailer gives too much away for those who haven’t read the book. The tone is much darker and emotional than in the previous two and that helps with Beyoncé’s cover of Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black. You also hear excerpts from songs by Andre 3000, Lana Del Rey and Florence + The Machine. I would recommend listening to the latter. It is called “Over the Love” is very powerful.
Snoop Lion & Miley Cyrus
This is just audio at the moment but I reckon you should still give it a listen! I was sceptical at first because it seemed like a bizarre pairing but I really like it. On the first listen, I didn’t, but it has grown on me. I love the reggae sound and the chorus stays with you. Great to hear new Miley stuff!
Little Mix
Here is Little Mix’s new track, How Ya Doin, featuring Missy Elliott. It’s crazy they got her on the track! It’s not as good as Wings but it’s still catchy. The video looks super glossy too. Spot the hair dye product placement!
Only God Forgives
Here is the trailer for Ryan Gosling’s next movie. He will be teaming up with his Drive director and this seems to be in the same violent vein. It doesn’t really tell you much, so I expect there will be a better trailer later on. It doesn’t currently have a release date.
Avril Lavigne
Avril is releasing more music?! I thought she had given up considering she only released one single from Goodbye Lullaby. It’s like she brought out What The Hell and then went onto her next record. The single, shown above, will be released on 9th April, with her (fifth!) album later in the spring. I’m loving the artwork- but why does she have to be naked?!
Emma Watson
Emma looks HOT in this cover shot! She is posing as her Bling Ring character Nikki, hence the tattoos, long hair and risqué clothing. Still, loving it!
Finding Dory
Ellen DeGeneres, who voices Dory, has announced that the scatty fish will be getting her own movie. Finding Dory is scheduled for released in November 2015, so a long wait. I wonder how they can make it different from the original (and upcoming sequel) but keep the same humour and characters.
Lindsay Lohan
Crikey! Check out the bruises on LiLo’s legs! Looks like she’s been in a fight. She’s been having quite a rollercoaster ride in Brazil!
Perrie Edwards
I just don’t get it this piercing?! Whyyy?! Is it not uncomfortable and inconvenient?! I would be scared of catching it. Little Mix’s Perrie seemed to like it. Oh well.
Taylor Swift
I do love Taylor’s humour. She posted this on her Twitter to encourage followers to vote in the American Country Music Awards but she posted an hilarious photo with it that we can all appreciate. Just look at her cat’s face!
Hayden Panettiere
I think we can all appreciate how hot Hayden is in these pictures. We already that she has a banging bikini bod after seeing her on the beach in Miami but these shots make us sick with envy!
You know the drill. If there is an award show, I will be deciding which outfits I like and dislike. The stars graced the purple carpet for the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards and here are my picks.
The biggest winners of the night were Kristen Stewart,The Hunger Games and One Direction who came away with two each. It is surprising that Kristen got any because she hasn’t won many awards recently (besides the Razzies), so at least this proves to that her fans still support her despite the whole Rupert Sanders cheating debacle.
Anyway, back to the fashion! Here are my selection of best and worst dressed.
WORST
Fergie
No, it’s not because she’s pregnant! It just thinks this dress is VERY busy. It is has far too many different colours. It’s crazy!
Miranda Cosgrove
I just don’t like the texture of the dress and the two patches which look stuck on. Loving her hair though.
Little Mix
I don’t expect groups to match but they clearly haven’t co-ordinated at all! They just look too different and there is no cohesion between them. Individually, I like Jade’s (left) outfit and Perrie’s yellow skirt. Not a fan of the dungarees.
Ke$ha
I dislike because it is wacky and a comedy red carpet outfit. As a costume, I think it is brilliant and she looks badass! I love that her brother has co-ordinated with her (although his colour is pretty nasty!)
BEST
Kristen Stewart
I think Kristen look cool here. I love the structure and the shorts look fab.
Ashley Tisdale
I am loving her dress! Ashley looks simply stunning!
Selena Gomez
I think this is a cute outfit. KCAs is a fun event (people get gunged after all) so wearing casual attire is okay, as long as it’s super pretty.
Kristen Wiig
I LOVE what she is wearing here. It is so rock chick and she looks very cool.
Katy Perry
Katy looks smoking! She is revealing her chest and her midriff but still manages to look classy. The print on this is very bold and I love it.
