Back To Basics for Christina Aguilera

Christina and GQTwo bits of news for fans of the very very sexy and hot  Christina Aguilera today here at Milo’s Rambles; Aguilera, the blonde bombshell has stripped…. not in song but for a sexy photo shoot in the latest edition of the GQ Magazine. The pictures are reminiscent of the Marilyn Monroe style in the late 1940′s. The photo’s are stylish and leave little to the imagination but hell, who’s complaining, not me that’s for sure.

Next week sees the launch of her latest and most daring album release for years in Back to Basics, a double album full to the top with 23 tracks. The album is a tribute to the the style that made and inspired her throughout her career and draws heavily on a mixture of influences including soul, jazz and blues taken from the ’20′s to the 40′s. Also included is her own take on R&B and pop music.

Her first single from the album “Ain’t no other man” was released in June and reached number 2 in the UK charts and number 6 in the US. On the other hand the music video was released on iTunes and went straight to number one in the downloads chart. The video is set back in the 1920′s/1930′s and she stars as her alter ego baby Jane. “Candyman” will be the second single to be released from the album. The song is sung in the style of the 1940′s and listening to it you could close your eyes and be transported back in time to second world war period dance hall music. The song is without doubt the “happiest” song on the album.

One of my other favourites from the album is taken from the second discs, a very melancholy, …

TV Dvd’s Released

Thought I’d post a short entry on the latest Television box sets to hit the streets now and in the immediate future. One of my favourite ones this year is without doubt Prison Break and if you want to check out what I thought of it, take a look at an earlier post. Starring Wentworth Miller and Sarah Wayne Callies it is a gripping drama full of twists and turns that sometime stretch believability, but well worth buying.

Lost season 2, the extended experience is another of the big TV blockbusters released shortly, September 5th to be exact. The dvd features Secrets Of The Hatch, Deleted Scenes, Bloopers and so much more over seven packed dvd’s. One thing it also includes is a feature that plants seeds and doubts for LOST Season 3! I’ve not watched the second half of the series and will wait until the dvd is released so I can watch it all in one go as I did with Season 1.

Hugh Laurie returns to the small screen via DVD in the second instalment of House M.D. A cracking series set in a fictional hospital. He leads a crack unit who spend most of their time solving medical problems that other doctors have failed. House spends most of his time arguing and berating his colleagues and indeed his patients, when he sees them that is! He relies on his small group of doctors to talk through the problems and possible fixes. Season 1 of House was released last year and is also available.

Other releases next week include Veronica Mars, Invasion (The Complete Series) and Threshold (The Complete Series). All include a number of extras including deleted scenes and commentaries.…

Victoria to Fiji, Imogen to Wales !

I am absolutely loving this at the moment … Lady V is going back into love island to shake things up with Sophie “me me” Anderton ! I enjoy twists and turns when they are warranted, unlike big brother’s twists this year and this one really suits the situation. Apart from the obvious, Love Island is very different to big brother, the captives/celebrities/residents, call them what you will are allowed to talk about the outside world and they are allowed communication back home. I wouldn’t have a problem if BB was like this, although minus the “how well am I doing?”,”do the public hate me?” blah blah, blah!

Anyway as I mentioned, Victoria is going back in to the resort on Sunday and if she lives up to her promises, it could be one hell of a bumpy ride for Sophie….Rubbing hands with glee !! Apparently the plan is to have Sophie meet Victoria in the not so secret suite and have it out. I just hope they make it a little more public – I for one can’t wait to see the look not only on Sophie’s face but Chris too!

Big Brother

ImogenMeanwhile in Big Brother, Welsh babe Imogen was evicted as expected, at one point her odds on eviction were 1/50 in favour, huge odds although not as big as Sezer’s! Imogen was evicted with 62% of the votes. This then left the house mates to choose which ex-house mate would re-enter the main house and stand a chance of winning the £100,000 prize. As I mentioned in a previous entry, Nikki was voted in (Glyn had no vote due to “punishment”), it all sucks and smells of a fix to have Nikki back with Pete – am I the only one who thinks the …
