Winehouse album expected in 2010

Winehouse has launched her own record label, Lioness, with Island

Amy puts best friends in the spotlight on new label
Singer Amy Winehouse's new album is expected to be completed next year, according to her record label Island.

"I've heard a couple of song demos that absolutely floored me," Island co-president Darcus Beese said. "Hopefully we'll have her album next year."
He said the singer had been writing and recording "in fits and starts".

Winehouse's last album Back To Black, which has sold 10 million copies and won five Grammy Awards, came out three years ago.

But since its release, the singer has battled drug problems and ill health, and comeback gigs in May had to be scrapped.
She was writing and recording with producer Salaam Remi, who worked on Back To Black, while living on the Caribbean island of St Lucia earlier this year.

Last October, Remi said the pair had "about four songs done". The following month, Lucian Grange, head of Island's parent company Universal Music Group, said her new material was sounding "sensational".

Winehouse is making a return to TV screens on Saturday, singing backing vocals for her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing (pictured above.)

Bromfield is the first signing to Winehouse's new record label Lioness, which is an imprint of Island. The 13-year-old's debut album is released on Monday.

Shyne: I never spoke to Diddy

Incarcerated rapper Shyne has completely refuted Sean "Diddy" Combs' claims that he and the Bad Boy mogul had a conversation.
Shyne issued a stern statement via his lawyer.


“My client wants to make it very clear that no such conversation between Mr. Combs and he ever occurred,” said Oscar Michelen, Shyne’s attorney in a statement.


Shyne told his counsel, “I want it known that this supposed conversation is a figment of Sean Combs’ imagination. He never spoke with me, he never visited me nor would I ever accept a phone call or visit from him. The only way I would do either of those things would be if he stepped up and did the right thing for the victims of the incident.”


Michelen also countered saying that Shyne, who has been jailed for nine years, never mentioned the alleged conversation in their conversations.


“I was very surprised to hear Mr. Combs’ claims about talking with my client since I speak to Shyne all the time and he never mentioned anything about it, said Michelen. “Knowing how he feels about Mr. Combs I know that it would have been very strange for Shyne to have spoken with him and not told anyone."


In an interview on Hot 97 with DJ Absolut, Diddy said, "It's a blessing that [Shyne is] coming home. I spoke with him a couple weeks ago. He sounded like he was in good spirits. I know he can't wait to get home. And I know he's definitely gonna heat the whole scene up. He's definitely gonna do it, you know what I'm saying, he definitely was one of the most talented young artists that I had the pleasure to work with so I'm quite sure he's been using his time wisely and I'm quite sure he has some heat."


Presently, Shyne, resides in Federal immigration detention until a judge decides if the Belize-bore rapper can still remain in the United States. He is jailed for an infamous 1999 Club New York shooting that had ties to both Diddy and then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez


Shyne has legally changed his name to Moses Levi.


A civil lawsuit surrounding the shooting is pending in Brooklyn Supreme Court.

RIP Stephen Gately

After his sudden death yesterday, I thought I'd post a video.

Boyzone is a cheesy boyband from the 90's, but in some ways I kinda liked them.

Our condolences to Stephen's partner, family, band members, friends and fans.


The pic will take you to a cheesy vid of Steven.

You know you're West Indian when ...

As loads of you know, I'm always on my Twitter as I find it easier and an instant way of communicating to people.

Stuck at home yest, I was in and out of Tweeting and a fellow tweeter of mine (sup Xi'an) were wishing producer Dready a Happy Birthday and let him know we would have fixed him some 'hard food' had he been here in the UK to celebrate.

After passing a few jokes the day went by without incident until. R&B sweetheart Jamelia came on later bored and started the trend:
#YouKnowYoureAYardieWhen which I've got to say has given me the most joke.

I had to blog some of them for those who aren't on Twitter and seeing as I'm from Barbados and Guyana for the West Indians as a lot of this applies to us (minus the small island digs lol)

Shout out to everyone who made me laugh til no sound came out, my cheeks and stomach hurt and I was exhausted, and Jamelia who started the madness. I swear half of these were from Dready too! *side eye*

StyleWatch: ToyWatch

If you know me, then you'll know that I've wanted a ToyWatch for a year now. I was going back and forth as I couldn't justify paying the prices they are at the time seeing as I don't really wear watches. But they are beautiful pieces and my argument is they are collectible and also just sexy. Aint gonna lie.

Thankfully, I've been helping out someone with looking after a member of their family as they've moved to London and as a thank you I was taken to the new store in Regent Street to pick out my very own timepiece (yay!)

This is the purple Plasteramic (plastic and ceramic) watch with a plasteramic band and rotating bezel.

Get yourself down to Regent Street and take a look. I have my eye on a black plasteramic, a white Mother of Pearl Chrono and a Skeleton.

*goes off to buy a Lotto ticket for tomorrows' draw*

Link to the US site is to your right under 'Linkage' as the UK site isn't up properly as yet.

Regards to the UK store.



Blowing up the moon



I seriously saw this discussion floating around all week, and honestly thought it was a joke. I mean, sending two missiles to blow holes into the moon, our moon that controls the tides in regards to the water on Earth to find out if it has water? Shut up! Sounds more like a terribly written Hollywood film starring Bruce Willis with rock ballads and slow motion shots of men in space suits walking to the spaceship. Yes, I am referring to another version of Armageddon.

But it was actually true. And when I found out, I was dumbfounded. In fact still am. Imagine if they did damage it. What would happen to our oceans?

Luckily, the mission was unsuccessful, but how long will it be before the fools at NASA try this tomfoolery again? Joke ting.

If you are interested in the reports from NASA, then click here to go to their website.

South Park bring back MJ, Swayze & Fawcett

courtesy of Metro:

Never ones to observe niceties, South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker recently premiered an episode packed with this year's dead celebrities.

Spoofing The Sixth Sense, the episode entitled 'Dead Celebrities' features little Ike encountering the ghostly manifestations of recently departed stars.

Among a number of US celebrities (who most in the UK won't know – Billy Mays anyone?), Swayze, Jacko, David Carradine and Farrah Fawcett all return as their South Park-style animated selves, waiting impatiently in purgatory to get into heaven.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Jacko plays a major part in the story and gets the unforgiving South Park treatment. Aside from the celebrity take-downs and Sixth Sense parody, the episode lampoons the sheer weirdness of children's beauty pageants and also includes a typically grotesque gag about a very specific type of stain remover.

MJ Post Mortem - was in relatively good health when he died

Michael Jackson had a strong heart and was a "fairly healthy" 50-year-old, according to an autopsy report obtained in the US.

According to the Associated Press, his weight was considered normal and within the acceptable paramaters.

The report documented that he had some lung damage, arthritis, punctured arms, tattooed lips and eyebrows.
Jackson's death was ruled as homicide caused by a powerful anaesthetic.

Propofol and the sedative Lorazepam were the "primary drugs responsible for Mr Jackson's death" according to the L. A. Coroners Court.

It looks like Dr Conrad Murray has some more questions to answer ...
