New Sugababes!


 A few seconds of a new Sugababes track called Freedom can be heard on a commercial for the launching of the advertising campaign for the new Pink Nokia N8.

We were starting to lose faith in the latest Sugababes line-up but it´s definitely coming back after listening to this snippet.

 Watch the commercial and listen to the preview of the new song below!


Are you ready for a Sugababes comeback?

Naomi Campbell vs Cadbury

Cadbury have found a new foe in Naomi Campbell after comparing her to a chocolate bar. A poster for their bar Bliss (which ran in newspapers last week but has since been removed) had the wording 'Move over Naomi – there’s a new diva in town.’

Naomi is said to be considering 'every option available' and was quoted as saying: "I am shocked. It's upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people. I do not find any humour in this. It is insulting and hurtful."

























Even Mama Campbell was upset: "I'm deeply upset by this racist advert. Do these people think they can insult black people and we just take it? This is the 21st century, not the 1950s. Shame on Cadbury."

There have been calls to boycott Kraft Foods products (Cadbury's parent company), letters written to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and comparisons being made between this advert and golliwog posters from yesteryear.

A spokesman for Cadbury (who have been in trouble over alleged racist ads in the past) said: ""It was certainly never our intention to cause any offense and the campaign itself is a light-hearted take on the social pretensions of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bliss."

What do you think - clever PR from Cadbury (would they have got this much coverage otherwise?) a storm in a teacup or an insulting racist ad?

The Little Girl in the Classroom Will Break Your Heart!

Sad, upsetting, surprising, enlightening, infuriating – just some of the words we use to describe ‘Dark Girls’ – a documentary “exploring the deep-seated biases and attitudes about skin colour — particularly dark skinned women, outside of and within the Black American culture.”

We dare you to watch it and not be moved!





We remember seeing a documentary about a black Canadian model trying to make it at NY Fashion Week being told that she had the potential to be a success as she didn’t have traditional ‘black’ features, that really casting agents were looking for white girls dipped in chocolate. She was shocked and so were we.

It’s a thorny issue that deserves an article all of its own, but before we do that, we’d love to get your thoughts and experiences on the matter.








Adele Begins Work On Third Album


  Adele has had one of the biggest records of the year and she has recently revealed that she has already began working on the follow up to her smash hit album, 21.

  The singer told The Sun: "I have five tracks ready to go. One of them is quite upbeat - a real 'girl power' type of song."

 The hitmaker also revealed that she´s planning to record a cover of INXS along with some new material:

"I plan to do a cover of the INXS hit 'Never Tear Us Apart' which is probably my fave song of all time. The whole album will have quite a live feel to it."

 Are you looking forward to more music from Adele?
