A time for celebration!!!

Merry Christmas! I hope you all had an amazing day and have some exciting plans for New Years Eve. Bring on 2006….we have a lot to look forward to.

Have not had much in the way of new music for awhile but Pink has been a busy girl. She has got engaged (and possibly getting married New Years Eve, rumor has it) to motor-cross star Corey Hart and has filmed horror movie ‘Catacombs’ due for release next year.

Congratulations to Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale on the announcement that they are ‘with child’. It is Gwen’s first baby, and Gavin’s first time giving fatherhood a real crack from word go (it was revealed last year that he fathered model Daisy Lowe 15 years ago, after a brief fling with Peal Lowe. Ironically, he is her God-Father.)

Another congratulations goes out to Eminem who is back together with Kim (inspiration for most of his most hate-filled hits). The two are discussing getting married again. I always thought he wasn’t quite over her…anyone who needs to go on abvout how much they hate someone for so many years clearly has some unresolved issues. Good luck to them! I wonder how his hard core fans have taken the news. Do you think this means we should hold our breath for a reunion with his second most bitched-about song topic...his mum Debbie?

Are we believing that congratulations are in order for our very own Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman? Is it a double congratulations for an engagement and a baby? Who knows. Lot’s of the press are focusing on the fact that they are not denying it…so it must be true. Perhaps though, they are just sick of denying things and are having a good laugh letting people believe what they want to believe? Only time will tell…but if she is pregnant, she will be showing soon, there is no hiding that!

The Sugababes are playing music chairs again with Mutya Buena leaving the band to spend more time with her daughter. The line-up change comes following the announcement of the band securing the highly sought after support spot for the Take That reunion tour next year.

Speaking of the Take That reunion, tickets were snapped up so quickly in the UK that the scheduled shows have now been doubled to cater for the demand. Please let them bring the show Down Under!!!

Silverchair are back in the studio working on their follow up album to the critically acclaimed ‘Diorama’. The boys will road test some tracks at the latest Australian music festival ‘The Great Escape’. The festival will be held in Sydney at Newington Armory over the Easter weekend. Should be interesting to see what sort of sound they come up with, especially after Daniel John’s stint with Paul Mac in The Dissociatives, wonder if it will affect the bands sound??? He is the song writer of the group after all…

Well done to Missy Higgins for having the top selling album in Australia for 2005, very well deserved. Missy is an amazing role model for young Australians and I wish her every success in 2006!

Speak soon,
