Britney's sensational comeback!

The world has watched in shock, support and even disbelief at the winding twists and turns of the life of Britney Spears. Spears’ performance at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards served as her catalyst to get her personal life in order and restore her image that that which the fans would be proud of.

In fact, Spears’ performance was bad enough that it ruined the highly anticipated sales of her then album ‘Blackout’.

However, over the last year, Spears has taken her misfortune and turned her life and her image around to unveil a new and improved Britney.

Rather than giving up, Britney is back and on a mission to regain her queen of pop title and position on top of the charts.

Her way of doing that is by taking all the things that made her famous throughout the years and combining them all into one great music video, ‘Womanizer’ the lead single from her upcoming “comeback” album, “Circus.” It reached No.4 in the UK and No. 1 in the US charts!

Also, picking up two MTV Europe Music Awards in November, Britney Spears is continuing her comeback with a live performance on The X Factor this Saturday!

It will be the princess of pop’s first comeback in five years!

The comeback rises even more as Britney has just released dates for a world tour next year.

I can’t wait to see it personally! After seeing her (front row-may I add!) on the ‘Onyx Hotel tour,’ in 2005, and catching her water glass (which I still have!), Brit was totally incredible, although critics claimed she was miming.

Last night, Britney sang at Bambi Awards in Offenberg, Germany- where Karl Lagefeld gave her the gong for Best International Pop Star (see performance below).

What I say is, good on you Britters, for getting you life back on track!

Don't forget to watch Britney's performance tomorrow night on ITV 1's X Factor.

Customizing Google news..

I only just learnt this in lesson today! But wow is it easier for me and soo much LESS time consuming! All I had to do was arrange the template of news that I like and am interested in, for example UK and World News first and then my favourite Entertainment news!

In addition, I could also put in a particular topic of interest like fashion and then all the fashion news would be set on the screen! How handy is that, for a fashionista like myself!

Overall I think this feature on Google is very helpful for people like me who are very busy and do not have time to go to specific websites for news.. I can get everything I need..news wise that is..on Google! Great Stuff! Everyone should at least try it, I tell you..it will definitely save you time!

Google reader...Is it really useful?

This is ANOTHER one of Google features that I had absolutely no idea about! But undoubtedly THIS is the most useful feature, apart from the searching of course, that Google has!

Particularly for me, as a journalism student, who rarely has time to surf various websites, Google Reader allows me to find out the latest news stories on my favourite websites without going on their sites.. It is easier, quicker and must I say very professional!

Google is churning out so many new features, I wonder and am excited to what it has in store next!

New fashion trend: out-there eyewear?

(People)

There is little doubt that Rihanna is fast becoming the next Beyonce ...

But OMG! Just look at the outrageous eyewear both Rihanna and Beyonce sported last week?

I had to post this little bit picked up by PEOPLE. Both pop princesses were spotted over recent days wearing some strange eyewear that I really hope doesn't catch on.

Beyonce has been rocking some strange clobber lately, capped off by these silver fringed glasses, worn on the set of her new single, 'Diva'. Meanwhile, Rihanna chose to show off her pirate side at the recent American Music Awards, sporting a bejewelled eyepatch for her live performance.

However, according to fashion experts, out-there eyewear is the newest fashion trend for stars!

What do you think?

Is out-there eyewear too much, or a major fashion statement?

GAP gets into the christmas spirit!

(You Tube)

With this year’s holiday shopping season being forecasted as the worst ever due to the terrible economic crisis, clothing giant Gap is looking to instil some excitement by featuring a star-studded holiday ad campaign.

The company reached out to Flo Rida and Trey Songz to write and produce a ‘street-smart’ rendition of a Christmas classic ‘Jingle Bells’ for its annual holiday promotion. Other stars in the ad include, ‘Cruel Intentions’ Selma Blair and ‘American Pie’s’ Jason Bateman.

When I saw this it completely put me in the Christmas spirit!

The advert is hilarious and the tune is very catchy…trust me, it will stay in your head for the rest of the day!

Unfortunately it won’t be aired in the UK as it is a US commercial, so you an only see it via the internet!
