Britney's Back!!! This time with a new video...
I've heard loads of people slating this vid. I personally think it's alright, but I could have done without the studio sections; but besides that and the blatant product placement I thought the video was alright.
We need to stop comparing Britney to her former glory days and move on.

What is the real prize of glamour?
Yesterday I heard a news story which did not shock me. I will not lie it saddened me, but it did not shock me.
20-year old Claudia Aderotimi died from lethal silocone injections in her buttocks, on a quest for a bigger "butt". It has been said that she made the decision to have this procedure after being removed from a previous promo for having a small bum.
She travelled from her home in London to Philedelphia USA, where she took the proccedure which is believed to cost just over £1000.
This is not the first time we have heard of an incident as such, the most famous victim was former Miss Argentina Solange Magnano. Magnano died in Buenos Aires after having a legal operation involving buttock implants as well as injections.
This is such a sad story but it highlights a problem that we as a society face on an ongoing daily basis. We are a society that is obseessed with glamour and trying to morph our bodies into hwta we believe is socially appeasing.
My heart goes out to her and her family.

Rather Be Vain Than Ugly
Beauty and The Beast: The Ugly Side of Prejudice
Channel 4
Tuesday's 8pm
I saw the advert for this programme beforehand and I'm not going to lie, I thought it was going to be something like BBC Three's Snog, Marry or Avoid (which I will admit I watch, you know when it's late at night and there is nothing else on), so I was surprised to see that this show had so much more content than being a platform for the new breed of 'glamour girls' to promote themselves.
This week me met Yasmin Disney (who I'm guessing is not a distant relative of Walt Disney, or maybe so); her crime was that she wanted to get a breast reduction and lipsocution.
Her week long flat mate was Leo, who suffered an accident when he was 14, leaving him with third degree burns. It was so sad hearing the suffering that he had been through; but he had ended up being so strong.
It shocked me hearing that a survey on careers, resulted in 80% saying that they aspired to being glamour models.
It seems that being a glamour model is all the rage these days, no disrespect to them, do what you've got to do. But just remember people are looking up to you; young impressionable girls.
In the beginning my first impressions of Yasmin, was that she was a bit ditzy, but verging on the end I gained some respect for her.

Belle's Back
I'm both excited and saddened by the return of Secret Diary of a Call Girl.
Excited because one of my favourite British television shows is back, but saddened because I know this is the last series and that in 8 episodes we will being saying bye to Belle and the secret world of the call girl forever.
We meet up with Belle, who is just back off her hols (with an extremely rich client of course) and she's got a new secret to tell us... every London woman's fantasy... she's only gone and got herself a house.
Her first client of the season is lawyer Liam (who is coincidently Stephanie's lawyer, but we will get to that in a minute). Liam has a problem, he can't seem to reach the big 'O'; no matter what Belle tries nothing happens.
It's not until a visit to his office does Belle find out the cure to his problem. Donning a wig and gown (whilst having little tryst in his office, with the door slightly ajar) she finds that Liam can only be satisfied when there is a risk factor of being caught.
In regards to Stephanie, we find out that she has got herself into a 'little' bit of trouble and is in jail for money laundering. She tries to convince Belle (who at first resists) to hold the reigns of the 'business' whilst she is inside. When Belle finally accepts, she returns home to find that she has a new house guest, Stephanie's daughter.

I don't want Belle (a.k.a. Hannah) and Ben to get together, I want them to stay best friends. I believe that this is a line that they should never cross. It just gives the justification to the belief that men and women can't be friends, which drives me crazy.

The Sky is The Limit...
You may have also noticed that some channels have been reshuffled and others have had a makeover ala SkyLiving (previously known as Living).
I'm not going to lie, I will be watching Sky Atlanic no matter how much I moan and whine, I've got to say it's actually nice to be able to watch some American television all in one place.
"Let's Talk About Sex Baby"
Usually I'm an advocote of the programes that Channel 4 Broadcast, but The Joy's of Teenage Sex takes the biscuit.
Yes, I'm aware that teenagers are having sex, and no I'm not trying to sweep it under the carpet; but right now we are going through a teen pregnancy epidemic and STI's amongst teens is on the uprise.
I am fully supportive of programmes that educate young people about sex, but this programme is going to extremes and teaching them techniques. I'm sorry, I don't know about you, but I feel that is the wrong approach. I feel that the message that is coming from this show is that "it's alright to go out there and have sex" instead of teaching people about the fundamentals and also the emotional side to sex.
The issues that they do discuss seem to have the same topic running through them each week
Week one the partcipants are learning how to give oral sex...
Week two the participants are learning how to give oral sex...
I'm guessing next week they are going to teach the particpants about oral sex...
And what is with those graphic sex scenes; there is actually no need for them. Where is the line between educational video and porn???
