NEW VIDEO ALERT! Kelly Rowland - Down For Whatever



Kelly Rowland fans are definitely being treating ahead of the trend yet again as another new music video has gone viral; this one opening with Kelly Rowland dancing in the buff! This record was always going to be a single and the video is everything a Kelly Rowland club record should be: slick editing; flashing lights and her trademark guy dancers. She even flashes a bit of bum cheek at the end, which might I add is a total peach! I'm now starting to think Kelly Rowland will perform a medley on a future UK X Factor Results Show.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Rihanna ft Calvin Harris - We Found Love



Rihanna's latest video plays out like an episode of Skins. This is not for kids, and it all seems a little too close to reality with an apparent intentional Chris Brown-a-like male protagonist. "We found love in a hopeless place....", this is an unhealthy, obsessive, self serving, lustful, hedonistic, pulsating and narcotic, destructive, passionate affair which can only end one way.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Nicole Scherzinger – Try With Me



Another female X Factor judge preparing to annihilate the pop charts is the relentless Nicole Scherzinger. Her latest number is an uplifting dance ballad complete with a nature filled beauty video. Whether you get the whole magic of Nicole Scherzinger or not, there's no denying that this record denotes she has definitely got one almighty set of lungs on her.

Occupy Wall Street Shocking Footage

To those of you who are still very much unaware of what is taking place around the world, spare a moment to watch the following.



NEW VIDEO ALERT! Beyoncé - Love On Top



Not your typical Beyoncé video, but a nice throwback nonetheless. Bey plays homage to traditional performers who paved the way for artists such as herself in this simple but quaint accompaniment. This follows on from her recent pregnancy exposé MTV Music Awards performance and the controversy surrounding the alleged padding to make her baby bump look bigger. Nice song. Nice video. No Sasha Fierce though.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Kelly Rowland - Lay It On Me ft. Big Sean



Kelly Rowland is soaring right about now, winning over hearts in the UK with her genuinity, energy and work ethics on the UK series of The X Factor. This comes with her stella acumen and her ability to still feel very much like a new artist despite having over a decade of hits under her belt. I never considered this track to be a single, but having said that I can now see how well it works as a stand out track. The video is pretty much a half naked Kelly Rowland, half naked men and a naked elephant (not that elephants should ever wear clothes). US rapper Big Sean also lends his talent opening doors for him both in the States and in the UK. I wonder if Kelly will be performing this on The X Factor....?

Last Sunday, Umar and Adam Kamani of Boohoo.com put on a casting day unlike no other for a 'Real Woman' to become a new model. Boohoo.com has grown substantially and wanted to give a unique opportunity for a special somebody to be become represented. I arrived early but the queue was already all the way down the street. Auditionees were treated to a team of make-up artists, a test shoot and an airbrushed photo. Following this, they were presented with a catwalk in which to impress a celebrity panel of judges including Umar and Adam Kamani, Ryan Thomas, Michelle Keegan, Jodie Connor of Roll Deep and current X Factor sensation Misha Bryan. There was a short interval period in which Jodie Connor performed her chart successes including 'Real Good Time' alongside a performance by newcomer Rio. Myself (Jsky) and Ryan Thomas also did a bit of presenting and gave away 8 lots of £25 Boohoo.com gift vouchers to several lucky ladies!

After the event the judging panel and I were driven down to Rosso Restaurant, where we met up with Stuart Pilkington and Scott Thomas. The food we were presented with tasted amazing, and was accompanied by an incredible jazz singer. We left Rosso Restaurant and headed over to Livingroom to get some more drinks in preparation for Candypants. There I bumped into Amy Ramsey who was out with Callum Best in celebration for her birthday. Manchester designer Nadine Merabi was also in town sporting another of her killer dresses.

After some heavy conversation from the boys (Ryan Thomas, Scott Thomas, Umar Kamani, Adam Kamani, David Darwood) and some heavy shapes on the dancefloor with Jodie Connor, we headed over to The Circle Club for Candypants. It was great to see Nicole Bailey doing her thing with the other Candypants girls. We didn't stay for very long though; it had been a really long day! Upon leaving the club I ran into Rhian Sugden, Ally Wood and Geordie Shore's Gaz. I asked him how his parsnip was doing or something cringe like that. It was definitely time for me to call it a night.

Louise Cliffe/Lucien Laviscount Images Taken....Jsky Fights Back!



Those of you following me on Twitter would have heard that several of my images of Celebrity Big Brother 2011 contestant Lucien Laviscount and current Big Brother 2011 contestant Louise Cliffe have been taken without consent or permission resulting in numerous front page headlining articles in various press. I have chased and come to an agreement with one newspaper and one magazine so far. If you see any images of Lucien Laviscount and Louise Cliffe similar to the below please advise me on Twitter @jskychat as they are more than likely to have come from the above video which was originally uploaded in support of Louise Cliffe to keep her trending worldwide.

Louise Cliffe is a good friend of mine and I have hung out with Lucien on several occassions on nights out in the past. The allegations made regarding this video are completely false. Please continue to support Louise Cliffe throughout her time in Big Brother and when she gets out.

Jskychat Exclusive Interview With X Factor 2011 Singer Joseph Gilligan



A few weeks ago I caught up with current X Factor star Joseph Gilligan to chat about music, the future and being compared to UK artist Plan B. Prior to appearing on X Factor I have worked in the studio with Joseph under the stage name Joe Gee. After just missing out on a place on the live shows on Sunday night's X Factor Judges Houses stage, Joe is now working on some brand new material.
