Hi all! Well after writing about the RAT PACK last month I went to see it again and I have to say it was fantastic! I even laughed at the jokes again! I seriously advise you to go and see it before it finishes its run. You won't regret it.
X FACTOR
Can someone explain to me that after auditioning 75,000 applicants that we cannot find any new talent? Every single one in the final lot has either been in the competition before or had a publishing or recording deal!
I laughed when I heard Simon Cowell speaking about Maria Lawson, saying that she was a rare talent and that Britain needs it's own Beyonce! What a laugh! Simon turned her down eight years ago. She then signed to President Records and released a cover of 'A Night to Remember ', which was used on the Gala Bingo Adverts. She now has a publishing deal with Peer Music.
Girls Aloud
Who would have thought it! Girls Aloud's new single Biology leads the additions to the this week's Radio One playlist, making it on to the C list three week's before its release on November 14. Wonders will never cease, maybe it's because they are signed to Polydor, no, can't be, no-one would be that cynical, would they?
BRITNEY SPEARS
BRITNEY SPEARS
Amazing what you find on e-bay these days! I see Adrian Adams is selling his 7% stake in Britney Spears' song ' Everytime ' which he acquired from co-writer Annette Stamatelos.
Adrian said 'Many people believe this very special song was written about Britney's ex-boyfriend, Justin Timberlake and that's what Annette told me at the time. In fact, Annette told me it's also about her ex-boyfriend and the two of them wrote the song while commiserating about their ex flames 'Adrian hopes to get about £100,000 for the song, which has already returned about £40,000 for this 7% share.
I did see one purchaser asking him why he was selling it if he had already made $60,000 from it ! He said that he had other business ventures to put the money into! Personally, I think he realises that the song has reached its maximum earning potential and he wants to get rid of it. Clever bloke! Bidding is to start at £15,000 and finishes on 2nd November. However as of writing this he has had no bids as yet!
Here is the item no 4784394866 - I would be interested to know if any of my readers bid for it!
TDK CD Printer LPCW - 50
I received an e-mail from a reader asking if TDK replaced my broken CD label printer. The answer is NO! They wrote to me asking for all the information on the unit, which I supplied, but I have heard nothing since! So, let that be a warning, don't buy TDK if you want customer service!

LISA SCOTT LEE
The ever hopeful wannabe Lisa Scott Lee must have had a shock when her new single ELECTRIC, went in the charts at No 13 on the first week and dropped to 47 on the second week, mmm I wonder why? Use your imagination on this one! I wonder if she will be true to her word and give up singing all together, as she said that is what she was going to do if she did get into the Top 10!
I look forward to it !!!
