Cheryl Has Ripped Off Kelis!

Now don't get me wrong, I bloody love the new Cheryl Cole song "Fight For This Love" and think it's a great pop song BUT the second I heard it I knew it was a blatant rip off of another song that I loved...I just didn't know what and it was soooo frustrating. Today I went for lunch with a friend and she put a stop to the sleepless nights. "Fight For This Love" is in fact a copy of Kelis' "Lil Star".

I love the Kelis track and I'm sure thousands will disagree but take a listen for yourselves and make your own minds up.....

Go hear to listen to Cheryl's single.

And here's Kelis:

All The Celebs....

Once again I've been slow with my blogging recently but I've been quite busy....meeting famous people. Which just happens to be my favourite thing to do :)

Me and the boy were meant to be going to see 'The Hot Melts' a few weeks back and they were going to be supported by Jamie Campbell Bower's band 'The Darling Buds'. Unfortunately the gig was cancelled but 'The Darling Buds' really came through and after some crazy quick Twittering the band arranged to perform a mini acoustic gig in Hyde Park. The bf was instantly unimpressed and was even more put out when we turned up and were surrounded by Twihards (Jamie's in 'New Moon'). However the band arrived and found a little spot in the trees under an old fashioned lamp post and they performed one of the best sets I've ever heard. We were both blown away and two new fans were born. I wanted to stick around and get a photo taken with Jamie Campbell Bower, the boy grudgingly held the camera and the result is below along with some video I shot.

Then Kevin Smith came to London. Back when I was in uni me and my best mate Cathy used to spend hours watching his films, buying merchandise and deciding who was more likely to "get it" if we ever met them, Jay or Bob (I was a Jay girl, she liked Bob, I've since come around to her way of thinking ;)). We studied film and our conversations about Smith were far more informed than anything we ever presented about melodrama, scrip writing or film history. First he did a signing at Forbidden Planet, I took a day off work and queued for 4 hours just to meet him for 30 seconds but it was so worth it. Next Kevin brought his famous "An Evening With..." to the Indigo2 and we got to sit through 4 hours of his hilarious banter.

Other than that I've done nothing but work, work, work...oh and obsess over how great Edie Sedgwick is, was, is..... but she'll get a whole post to herself when I get 5 minutes.

Cash and Dylan

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan and a pretty big Bob Dylan fan. So I can't think of anything better than these recordings. There's a few of them on Youtube and they're all worth a listen.

R.I.P Jim Carroll

Jim Carroll died aged 60 on Friday. Sad news. Basketball Diaries is a favourite book of mine and Fear of Dreaming is a must read for any fan. I've just realised I don't own any Jim Carroll Band albums...I'll fix that on pay day.

This is for you Jim.

Coolest Picture EVER!

Gerard and Lindsey as JKF and Jackie Onassis. Too beautiful.

My List

Any of you who have seen the episode of Friends where Ross and Rachel decide the 5 famous people they're allowed to sleep with if the chance ever arose will have their own 'list'.

Now I take mine very very seriously and I will follow through with it if I'm ever lucky enough to be confronted by any of my 5. Of course they'll need to find me equally as appealing and actually want to sleep with me. This is very unlikely but a girl can dream. Please find below, listed in a very loose order, my 'list'.

1) Gerard Way

Who else was going to be top of my list? My hero and all time top man Gerard. Talented to the extreme, gorgeous, well dressed, funny, and not afraid of commitment (he's a husband and a father). MCR's music has changed my life so he'll be my number 1 forever. I did meet him for all of 30 seconds once and he's also held my hand at a gig. They really were the best 2 days of my life.

This picture was taken the day I met Gerard. Not by me.

2) Frank Iero

One of the most passionate guitarists you'll ever watch. As with Gerard his music means the world to me and I love the stuff he's done with Pencey Prep and Leathermouth as well. He adores punk music and dresses really well so what's not to love? That's what every woman should look for in a man.

3) Tom Hardy

A new addition to my list and takes the place of Shia LaBeouf (I'd probably still have a crack if I met Shia but he's just not up to Tom's standards in the sexy stakes). Tom came to my attention recently when I finally got round to watching Bronson and RockNRolla. This guy can change his body shape with a snap of his fingers (personally I like him bigger which is a miracle as I usually like skinny little indie boys) and can act the socks off of anyone. Catch him in The Take for a full on Hardy experience. Tom currently adorns my laptop, iPhone and work PC wallpaper ;)

4) Brandon Flowers

The Killers are one of my favourite bands and Brandon's voice is a big draw. He's not afraid to dress flamboyantly, has the most amazing legs and his smile is perfection. When The Killers were on Jonathan Ross recently and performed a tonne of songs I nearly pee'd my pants a bit I was so excited. Brandon takes the place of Nick Carter on my list. Nick held his spot for many many years but he's lost a lot of weight recently and just look old suddenly, plus that boy never could dress.

5) Milo Ventimiglia

Peter Petrelli in Heroes. What more can I say. He plays one of the coolest characters on TV right now. Fit body, lovely face. Possibly the one person on my list who is on there souly for his looks, although I'm sure he's a very lovely person. That crooked smile is a winner in my books.
