James Blunt Beatles Compilation take top

In the United States the Beatles Compilation album has been confirmed as the biggest selling album of the decade. According to Billboard boy band N'Sync's No Strings Attached album was the second biggest seller, followed by Norah Jones's Come Away With Me.

In the UK It looks like James Blunt will be having an extra special New Year celebration as it is revealed that his Back to Bedlam Album is confirmed as the biggest selling UK album of the noughties decade. He pipped Dido and her Album No Angel into second place.

Though UK artists are at the top of both the US and UK charts for biggest selling albums of the decade. But were are the new UK acts breaking into the US market? Well we have SuBo god bless her and Leona. I wonder of either of them will be contenders for biggest selling US album of the next decade?

Prince William a bit of rough

I do like Prince William. He has a real Princely name and a mother who was a super celebrity fairytale Princess and he's handsome as well. Now he's shown his rough but sensitive side by sleeping rough to publicise the plight of homeless rough sleeping people in London UK.

I'm sure of course that he still had his minders and bodyguards round him when he slept rough and my guess is that they probably weren't terribly happy about the whole thing. But a Prince is the boss so they would have just had to do what they were told.

It's nice that Prince William has a caring side just like his famous mother Princess Diana did.
He's turning into a real Prince Charming is William.

Sherlock Holmes Was Gay says R Downey Jr

I doubt if early Sherlock Holmes films would have been so popular if Robert Downey Junior is right in claiming that he was gay and he had suggested this in the 1930's. These days when being gay is accepted by most reasonable people the fact that a Rugby player in the UK recently came out and acknowledged that he is gay hardly seemed to raise an eyebrow.

There will be a few raised eyebrows from traditionalists though at the suggestion that one of the greatest literary detectives was gay. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if there will be some who will be quite shocked by this suggestion.

The possibility that Sherlock Holmes was gay certainly raises a few questions about his relationship with his sidekick Dr Watson. Come to think of it I don't recall any real romantic liaisons with women in any of the stories or films apart from a bit of flirtation. Maybe that was just a smokescreen though because Holmes wasn't prepared to out himself.

At this rate they'll be telling us that Julius Ceasar and Ghenghis Khan were gay.. now come to think of it....

I'm a Celebrity rats

What do you think about the fuss about celebrities catching and eating a rat on "I'm a celebrity - get me outta here!" It seems that animals rights folk are up in arms about the whole thing. I've got to be honest with you - most of the things those celebrities get asked to eat on that program are ...disgusting. Bugs and creepy crawlies - Yuk!

It seems it's ok to eat crawlie slimy things - even alive - but don't you dare go catching and eating some cute furry thing. Hmmm are rats cute and furry? Well not to me but you know what I mean.

The whole point of the program is that the celebs have a tough time in the jungle - so if they had the initiative to catch and eat a rat I can't see why there should be a fuss. It's not as if rats are cute is it !!

Foxy Knoxy Found Guilty

An Italian Court has found Amanda Knox guilty of murder of her 21 yr old roommate Meredith Kircher and sentenced her to 26 yrs in jail. Knox's boyfriend Raphael Solecito was also found guilty of the murder.
The case has fascinated the Italian and world media because of Knox's character and behavious both at the time of the murders and during the trial. Her defence od course presented her as a wholesome all-american girl. But , it seems, all was not as it seemed.

The murder happened as some sort of sexual attack on the unfortumate young victim who was visciously killed with a knife. It wasnt long before Knox and Solecito emerged as the main suspects.

Knox has maintained her evidence through the trial yet I suspect there will be many people who are not at all surprised at this verdict.

Susan Boyle storms america and cries

Susan Boyle was seen on television breaking down just moments after finishing a note-perfect performance on live American television and fears are growing for the star's wellbeing after she started behaving erratically after a performance at the US capital's Rockefeller Centre.
Scottish singer Susan Boyle has also revealed that she wants children's favourite 'Nellie The Elephant' to be played at her funeral.

Her tour of America has been wildly successful so far but footage of her in tears in a New York café suggests she must be feeling the pressure and the fear is that she is struggling to cope with her new-found fame. Despite that US music retailers are having a dream week with Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed A Dream" ringing cash registers far and wide. Her debut album has achieved the highest first-day sales of the year, the Official Charts Company says. She is set to sell a MILLION copies of her new CD by the end of this week. The Britain's Got Talent runner-up has also signed a deal for her own American TV show. 'I Dreamed A Dream: The Susan Boyle Story'

Cheryl Cole Fight for This Love

X FACTOR winner Alexandra Burke has said her former mentor Cheryl Cole deserves to knock her own single off the top spot this week. The winner of last year's ITV contest is set to see her single Bad Boys replaced by Cheryl's solo debut Fight For This Love for number one on Sunday. Alexandra's single was the fastest-selling single of the year so far but Cheryl seems likely to break that record. Alexandra said: "Her performance on The X Factor was absolutely outstanding and I think she deserves it. I wish her every success. She just proves the point that if you've been in a group and you want to leave a group and you have time off, you can still be successful."

Cheryl Cole is also in for a treat from hubby Ashley if she gets to No 1 this week
with her single Fight for This Love - a ticket to see his film. Cheryl is now favourite to bag this weekend's top spot in the singles chart with her first solo song Fight For This Love and footballer Ashley says he plans to take her out to celebrate the success. He said: "We haven't made any plans yet but maybe I'll take her out to the cinema to watch my film." Ashley was speaking on the red carpet as producer of new Brit gangster flick Dead Man Running.

On a less happy note Cheryl Cole has been slapped with accusations claiming her debut solo single is lifted from an old Top 10 hit and some Pop fans have blasted the singer, claiming her first solo track is an obvious copy of Lil Star by US singer Kelis, which reached No3 in 2007.

The 26-year-old star has denied that the melody is stolen and claims there are no similarities as her single seemed ready to top the charts. Oter Mmusic critics have been more scathing, one said: Cheryl would never have made it into the live final of The X Factor , for which she is a judge - which is pretty rich, considering.'


When asked by Attitude magazine what was the best moment of the last decade Cheryl said: "When we won a Brit Award. We'd been together nearly seven years before we won a Brit and doing Wembley Stadium was amazing. We never thought we could get this far. We could only have dreamt it."
