Beckham Likes Posh On Top!

*pictures from The Sun

David Beckham in Brazil

David Beckham was pictured yesterday in Brazil wearing the t-shirt that has his naked wife on, as reported here 24 hours ago - Victoria Beckham is raising awareness for the Marc Jacobs skin cancer campaign. It's not a case of what you know but who you know, as David got his hands on the t-shirt before they hit the shops next week!

Meanwhile the "Return of the Spice Girls" is back in America for the next leg of their world tour, and according to The Sun newspaper - Cruz was looking very much like the all -American boy in his stars and stripes jacket.

Victoria Beckham: Naked Picture

Here is Victoria Beckham like you have never seen her before - NAKED! (OK, it's the first time in 2008, but a good excuse to show off Posh without any clothes on!!). Victoria is working with designer Marc Jacobs, campaigning about the dangers of skin cancer. The Posh t-shirts go on sale next week and the "Y" very cleverly hides anything that might be too risky for the public. Well, if David can do it so can Victoria ....... now THAT'S real "Girl Power"!

Amy Winehouse: The Transvestite Look

Amy Winehouse goes blond (pic: NME/WENN)

Amy Winehouse is starting to look more and more like a washed up transvestite with every new picture that makes it into the media. The new blond look does not do Amy any favours and I fear that in a few months time we'll be seeing her perform at Blackpool Pleasure Beach under the name of "Miss Rehab".

On a sad note, it has been confirmed that Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage. Previously on this blog we reported Lily Allen was expecting her first child with Chemical Romance's Ed Simons.

Finally we get to finish on a good note - The Enemy will be performing dates in Germany at the end of the month after having to cancel the tour when Tom Clarke took ill. The new dates are:

27-Jan @ 591 - Munich
28-Jan @ Magnet - Berlin
30-Jan @ Gebaude 9 -Cologne
31-Jan @ Knust - Hamburg
01-Feb @ Kammgam - Kaiserslauten
02-Feb @ Botanique - Brussels

Brit Award 2008: More S**t Than Brit!

The Brit Award nominations were revealed last night (full list HERE) and I've got to say the awards seem more "S**t" than "Brit". Partly due to the multiple nominations of the same artists, which then leads to the lack of variety.

I was expecting Coventry band, The Enemy to be in the "Breakthrough Act" after a year of constant touring, a number one album and four singles in the Top 40. Instead we are offered two artists, Leona Lewis and Mika that have 8 nominations between them, Kate Nash (3 nominations), the Klaxons (2 nominations) and finally Bat For Lashes (2 nominations). It would have been more interesting to have at least one artist in the nominations who wasn't listed in another category.

While I'm sure the Brit Awards 2008 will be fantastic, I can't help but feel it could have included nominations in a wider field. Back in June I predicted on "robmacca entertainment news" The Enemy would be in the nominations for "Breakthough Act", today I've been proved wrong - but I can't help bands like The Enemy (and many other artists) have been over looked in what seems to be a popularity contest. Meanwhile can Girls Aloud pick up their first Brit Award or will Take That beat them to it? - find out on February 20th!

Bjork Attacks New Zealand Photographer

Bjork was not happy after her long flight and attacked New Zealand photographer Glenn Jeffrey as she arrived in Auckland at 07:50am, ripping his shirt in half.

Apparently the Icelandic singer was not happy with the NZ Herald photographer taking pictures of her partner, he'd been asked not to take pictures.

The incident bears the hallmarks of another attack, in 1996, during which Bjork famously attacked a reporter after a long flight to Thailand.

She later apologised for that attack, which is now posted on the YouTube website.

robmacca is away on holiday - so here is a quick music update while in Australia:

*UK album sales dropped 10.8% to 138.1 million during 2007 but single sales increased almost 20m to a total of 86.6m.

*EMI face one crisis after another, first Robbie Williams went on strike, Coldplay are considering leaving the company and now Kylie has stuck the boot in, blaming the company for her poor album sales.

* Keep your eyes peeled as the Brit Award nominations become public this week, the Osbourne's will be presenting the show in February.

* Mel C is to have all her tattoos removed, according to the News of the World today. The Spice Girl will have all ten removed at the end of the tour. Now think of the poor fans who copied her in getting the tattoos!

* Britney Spears single, "Piece of Me" has knocked off X Factor winner Leon Jackson's "When You Believe" from the #1 position in the Irish charts. Britney managed to climb up to #2 in the UK this week.

* The Enemy "We'll Live And Die In These Towns" album rose from #44 to #27 this week as it enjoys it's biggest climb in recent weeks. Tom Clarke, Andy Hopkins and Liam Watts have already started another busy year of gigs, returning to the UK from Germany.
