The classic Peanuts Comic & Cartoon...



I came across these clips again while browsing and it reminded me how much I used to love them - the characters are hilarious (I always laughed at how much Lucy hated Charlie Brown) and cute and its always fun to watch them get up to various antics. Below watch out one of my favourite clips from the cartoon series when Lucy 'analyses' Charlie and his faults, the part at the end is priceless!!


Also below here's one of my favourite episodes from the Comics Strip:


So funny!!!

Bad Romance is now the most viewed video of all time on Youtube!

The amazing Francis Lawrence-directed music video for Lady Gaga’s single “Bad Romance” has become the most viewed video on YouTube of all time! The clip has gained over 178,000,000 views since its release in November.

Watch below:

Under-rated Artist of the Week: Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Sophie Ellis-Bextor returns to the limelight with her catchy new single 'Bittersweet' out May 3rd. I think she's one of those artists who never get the recognition they deserve. Bittersweet is a sleek slice of electro-pop, the video is very artsy and edgy (she looks beautiful and her clothes are amazing - I want that purple dress!!) and yet she doesn't get hugely talked about. A great shame, lets hope the song charts well for her.

Movie Anticipation: Resident Evil 4: Afterlife

Starring: Milla Jovovich, Wentworth Miller, Ali Larter, Kim Coate, Kacey Barnfield, Shawn Roberts, Spencer Locke, Boris Kodjoe, Norman Yeung, Sergio Peris-Mencheta
Directed by: Paul W.S. Anderson
Release Date: September 10, 2010

In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, Alice (Milla Jovovich) continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend. A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead takes them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive, the city is overrun by thousands of Undead and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap.

This is the highly anticipated fourth installment the hugely popular 'Resident Evil' series. Hopefully Anderson, who brought us the first film (still the best of them all in my opinion) will go back to basics this time around and deliver a solid feature. Get ready to get scared in a major way as audiences will get to experience the film in 3D for the first time (shot using James Cameron's renowned Avatar technique).
Being a hard-core Resident Evil fan, I'm expecting big things from this one. September is still a few months away unfortunately so check out the trailer below for a preview of things to come:

Evanescence News!


Evanescence Recording New Album, Plotting Summer Tour (Billboard.com)

"It wouldn't be an Evanescence album if it didn't sound somewhat like Evanescence," explains Lee, who's incorporating the harp, which she learned to play between albums, in several of the new songs. "I feel like our band has always had programming and inspirations from Bjork and Depeche Mode and Massive Attack and that kind of thing. It's not like we're making one of those records; it's just, like, that is playing a bigger role in the sound of Evanescence this time. Those little nuances and hints come in in ways that are cool. The sound that we're going for as a group is to fuse synthetic instruments with organic instruments and create something that sounds like a whole new place. It just sounds larger than life."

Lee began writing for the as-yet untitled album -- which is due for a fall release, with a first single out in the summer and a tour to follow -- more than a year ago, then accelerated the process when she began working with percussionist and producer Will "Science" Hunt (not to be confused with Evanescence drummer Will Hunt), who's been her chief collaborator on the new songs. The result, Lee says, is "a lot of electronic influence -- industrial is a better word for it," but she promises it's not going to be a wholesale reinvention of the Evanescence sound.

Lee says the group -- which also includes guitarist Terry Balsamo and bassist Tim McCord -- and producer Steve Lillywhite are currently recording about 16 songs and is "still working and...finishing writing here and there. Some of them aren't finished lyric-wise or writing-wise, but I really feel like it's mostly there." Some of the songs, Lee acknowledges, are compositions for potential film projects that weren't used.

Lee confesses to being a bit apprehensive after the long gap since "The Open Door," but she says a pair of one-off shows during November in New York and Brazil gave her confidence that Evanescence's following is still intact. "I was really nervous 'cause it had been so long," she says, "but it was amazing to see how many fans there still are that are waiting for us after all this time. It's really inspiring, and it makes me excited to show them how much we've grown."

New Christina Aguilera Promo Pictures


Check out these new photos from Christina from her new album 'Bionic.' The much anticipated album sees Christina come back into the limelight after a four year break with a new sound and look. The album is due for release on June 8th. I like the change of image, she looks stunning in the pictures, it'll be interesting to see how the new sound and image work overall.

Stubbled across this cool Fashion Montage from one of my favourite music videos ever. The clothes, jewelry and colour schemes fit nicely with the fashion in the video. Love the Hair Bow!

Also check out the Directors Cut below. This gem popped up online a few months back. Shot by the amazing Ray Kay, the video propelled Lady Gaga into superstardom. It's longer than the original edit with some cool scenes we've not seen before:
