Britney Spears Sexy Cover For Work B**ch – the 31-year old singer looks like she has made a return to some of her earlier sexy work with the release today of the cover photo from her forthcoming new single Work B**ch.

Britney released this photo on Twitter today showing her baring her cleavage in a plunge fronted bright sparkly leotard finished off with bright blue feathers.

Britney tweeted ”4 days people! Go call the Po-Lice! Go call the Governor! #WorkB.”

The photo was taken in a dressing room in Las Vegas where she is currently shooting the video for Work B**ch and also preparing for her new series of Vegas shows. Britney has promised that the new performances will be a “massive party from start to finish.”

It certainly looks like the “Baby One More Time” has got her mojo back after some difficult years for her both professionally and personally.

She even released a photo of  herself in a bikini earlier in the week to prove to the fans and the critics that she is making a return to form.

Britney has also been talking about her upcoming collaboration with Miley Cyrus on Miley’s new album Bangerz. She announced this news a few days ago on Twitter telling her followers ’Now It’s Britney AND Miley bitch! #TheyreNotReady for this @MileyCyrus… #SMSbangerz,’

Work B**ch is Britney’s first single from her upcoming new album and will be premiered in full on Monday and released on Tuesday via iTunes.

Emma Willis To Replace Holly Willoughby On The Voice - Holly Willoughby tweeted today to confirm the fact that she will not be hosting the next series of BBC talent show The Voice.

Earlier this year both Danny O’Donoghue and Jessie J had revealed that they would not be returning as judges on the show although both Will.i.am and Tom Jones have confirmed that they will both be back for series 3 of the show.

BBC bosses may now be worrying that the main 2 reasons that people tuned into the show on a Saturday night will no longer be there. There had been some criticism levelled at the show when as ratings got lower for The Voice so did Holly Willoughby’s neckline. The owner of the Best Celebrity Cleavage title pulled out the big guns on several occasions when ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent show took a lead in the ratings.

As well as being the end of Holly’s stint on the show her co-presenter Reggie Yates is also to leave.

Holly tweeted that her replacement on The Voice is to be Big Brother and Bit on the Side presenter Emma Willis.

Because Holly has covered so many high-profile shows on tv in recent years many people might think that she is actually the older of the two presenters but in fact Emma at 37 is 5 years senior to 32-year old Holly.

Before working on the 2 Big Brother shows Emma had worked on Loose Women, This Morning, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! NOW!, and started her television career off with a presenting job on MTV.

Although it will be a wrench to lose the lovely Holly from the Voice we are sure that viewers will soon get accustomed to Emma.

Emma has previously stood up for Holly over the various Cleavagegate incidents and took to Twitter during the last series of The Voice to say: ‘Why has #bbc apologised for showing cleavage! Why should women apologise for having boobs that feed babies! #arewebackintheVictorianEra?’

It might be interesting to see Emma’s fashion choices during the next series of The Voice if the ratings start to fall.

The BBC is yet to announce who will be co-presenting with Emma or who is to replace Danny O’Donoghue as the new judge on the show although we do know that Kylie will be replacing Jessie J.

All will be revealed well before the next series of The Voice airs on BBC1 in January next year. The show is to start a couple of months earlier than usual in a bid to avoid clashing with Britain’s Got Talent. This may mean that it will clash with Splash! or Dancing On Ice instead so higher ratings are not necessarily guaranteed by the move.

Miley, the Kardashians and Britney at the iHeartRadio Festival – we guess that this event is hard to ignore as some of the biggest headline seekers around were to be found this weekend at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas.

Amongst some of the many acts to be seen at this weekend’s festival were Sir Paul McCartney, Drake, Justin Timberlake, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Maroon 5, Muse, Sir Elton John, Robin Thicke, Queen + Adam Lambert, Tim McGraw  and Miley Cyrus.

The Kardashians (minus KIm and baby) were busy making friends backstage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena with the controversial lady of the moment herself, Miley Cyrus. As you would expect Miley was keen to keep the media interest going and wore a see-through white fishnet dress with black nipple pasties for her iHeart Radio set. As if that wasn’t enough she also added some crotch grabbing, some twerking and danced on stage with a dwarf back-up dancer whose bottom she stroked. It does make you wonder exactly what she thinks she is going to do next for attention?

By contrast 31-year old Britney looked positively demure although her outfit consisted of tiny little shorts and a black tuxedo left open to show her black lacy bra.

Britney looked in great shape and in contrast to Miley looked totally in control of herself. In fact Britney’s job for the evening was to introduce Miley to the waiting crowd.

Late last week it was actually Britney who spoke to the media in defence of Miley’s recent controversial VMAs performance saying: ’I remember that age when I was just transferring into my career and, like, doing more controversial things and the energy that you feel and all this chaos that goes on.’

As already announced Britney is going to appear on a track on Miley’s soon to be released album Bangerz.

Britney is also releasing a new single this week Work B**** which comes from her new and as yet untitled studio album which is due out later in the year.

Jessie J Performs in Nude Bodysuit - the 25-year old singer surprised her fans when she took to the stage at the recent iTunes festival.

The former The Voice judge and mentor was wearing a completely nude bodysuit for her set at the Roundhouse in Camden last night.

The special nude stage outfit was designed for Jessie by Hasab Hejazi and was completely see-through apart form some white tuxedo stripes on the arms and legs. The London-based designer is known for his feminine stylings and has previously designed outfits for Marina of Marina and the Diamonds as well as new Strictly Come Dancing competitor Abbey Crouch.

The designer is clearly a name to watch as he has also been worn in recent months by Kylie Minogue, Nicola Roberts, Leona Lewis, Paloma Faith and Cheryl Cole. Hasan released his own autumn/winter range in July this year, choosing Abbey Crouch to be the lead model for the collection.

Jessie J has also previously worn outfits designed by Hasan and enjoys his distinctive style. She matched his nude bodysuit with silvery gold eyeshadow, gold earrings and finished the look off with a gold topped microphone.

Although the singers hair is not quite as short as when she had all her locks shaved off for Comic Relief she is still sporting a very short pixie style.

Jessie clearly likes to liven things up on stage as can be seen by her latest outfit but she was less keen on Miley Cyrus’ controversial VMA performance saying she thought it was actually quite sad. She also said that she thought her recent antics were a reaction to people expecting to see Hannah Montana when they came to see her. Jessie said that she knew it was hard to try to break away from a character that the world has created.

The iTunes Festival continues until 30 September with Robin Thicke performing tonight and Tinie Tempah, John Legend, Justin Timberlake and Katy Perry all yet to perform at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm Road, Camden.

If you can’t get to any of the gigs then you can still catch up with all the concerts live as they are all being streamed on iTunes, Apple TV and via the iTunes Festival app.

Strictly Come Dancing First Night 2013 – well tonight has brought the opening programme in the new series of Strictly with the first 6 couples on show.

The programme opened as usual with Bruce and Tess action and a small thumbs down for both of them as the normally very hot and stylish looking Tess Daly was dressed in a frankly unflattering yellow dress. Sir Bruce also managed to take the pressure of those waiting to see when he fluffed his lines as the first joke was messed up.

After some introductions for the judges, all 15 dance pairings and the band it is on to the serious business of the night with the first pairing out on the dancefloor.

First on view are Ashley Taylor Dawson from Hollyoaks and the lovely Ola Jordan who is in the interesting position of possibly being the first Strictly dance professional who is better known than her ‘celebrity’ partner. Oh and let’s not forget that Ola has just been shooting her 2014 calendar which features her naked on the beach. Pay attention these two facts may not be unconnected!

Ola and Ashley started off their bid for the 2013 Strictly glitterball with a cha cha to One Direction’s What Makes You Beautiful. Although understandable Ashley seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time staring at Ola Jordan’s bottom. Ola’s husband James probably has nothing to worry about though as Ashley seems to fancy Ashley more than anyone else.

They end up with a very creditable week 1 score of 25 points.

Next up veteran golfer Tony Jacklin and his dance partner Aliona Vilani. Tony looks a little awkward and nervous and Aliona says that she has never seen anyone sweat quite as much as him. We guess she will not be expecting to lift the trophy this year and they end up with a score of 16 for their waltz to Alison Krauss’s What’ll I Do. We will let you guess which one of the judges scored them just 2 points for their week 1 effort.

After Tony and Aliona’s ‘dance disahster’ (Craig R H), we have actor Mark Benton and his partner Iveta Lukoslute. At first sight the couple seem a little ill-matched as he is more than a little heavy and she is one of the thinnest dance professionals we have seen on the show. As often with Strictly though things don’t always turn out as expected and they put in a very good opening performance with a tango to Hernando’s Hideaway that gets a very good score of 24 points.

Next up is the thinking man’s sexy newsreader Susanna Reid who has said in the run up to the show that she is really looking forward to wearing some of the sexy revealing outfits. She is clearly keen to get started early as just a few days ago she managed to flash her knickers to the BBC Breakfast audience while crossing her legs. Not many newsreaders can manage such an early morning wardrobe malfunction so things look get for Susanna securing the viewers votes in the upcoming weeks.

Susanna and her partner, new Strictly professional Kevin Clifton dance a very good jive to Shake A Tailfeather and score an impressive 28 from the judges, including a week one 8 from Len Goodman, who is clearly a fan of the BBC Breakfast show!

Just 2 more couples left tonight with the next pair on the dancefloor Sophie Ellis Bextor and Brendan Cole. Although there is not a lot of chemistry on show between the two at least Brendan doesn’t feel the same about Sophie as he did about either last year’s partner Victoria Pendleton or Lulu.

They dance a waltz to Moon River from the Audrey Hepburn movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It is another good week 1 performance and like Susanna and Kevin before them they get a score of 28 from the judges.

Just one more pair to see tonight and it is Coronation Street’s Natalie Gumede and the ladies favourite professional male dancer, Artem Chigvintsev.

Natalie and Artem dance a cha cha to the very 70′s sounding Rasputin by Boney M. The word leading up to tonight’s show was that Natalie was taking the Strictly thing very seriously indeed and on the strength of tonight’s performance she has clearly put a lot of work, and hours, into her training for the competition.

After what looks more like a performance from week 5 than the opening week Natalie and Artem get a score of 31 points from the judges and she takes a clear lead. Our only comment would be that despite her obvious dancing skills she may not prove as popular with the viewers as she does with the judges. Both Susanna Reid and Sophie Ellis Bextor seemed to get a warmer reception from tonight’s live audience.

So we reach the end of this series opening show with less than 24 hours before we get to see the rest of the Strictly ‘Class of 2013″.

In case you were wondering you didn’t miss anything tonight, the photo of Ola Jordan is from her 2014 calendar as we couldn’t get see a nice shot from tonight’s performance that didn’t have Ashley looking overly pleased with himself or leering at Ola’s bum.

Strictly Come Dancing Second Live Show – well tonight’s celebrities, and their professional partners, must have been nervous after the high standard set by last night’s first 6 dance pairs.

First pair on tonight were former England rugby star Ben Cohen and his partner sexy Russian Kristina Rihanoff. They danced a cha cha to Love Me Again and although they scored 19 points if the judges reviewed their scores at the end of the programme then we think he would get a higher score.

Next up was former Bond girl Fiona Fullerton and the ever reliable Anton Du Beke. Many Strictly followers will be surprised that it is Fiona and not Vanessa Feltz or Deborah Meaden that is the oldest lady in this year’s series at the age of 56.

Anton is clearly enjoying having a partner this year that is not only enthusiastic but can also dance and they put together a good opening performance with their tango to Bond movie theme A View To A Kill that gets them a creditable 24 points from the judges. Both Anton and Fiona look delighted with their full set of 7′s from the judges.

After Fiona’s classy, nicely flowing tango we get to see something altogether different with Hairy Biker Dave Myers producing a performance more worthy of the title ‘dad dancing’ than anything else in Strictly history. He also pulls off a move that is an almost exact replica of John Sergeant’s 2008 ‘teddy bear drag.’ Dave’s partner Karen Myers clearly struggled to find any choreography that she could make him look serious with and had to go for the comic vote. For once Craig didn’t have to try to hard to look genuinely horrified as he watched the dancing. We shall quickly move on after saying that they were dancing their cha cha to Moves Like Jagger. As someone said tonight on Twitter it was more like Moobs Like Jagger.

Looking altogether more stylish although a little nervous was Rachel Riley from Countdown. Rachel has an amazing figure so we hope that she will make it well into the later stages of the competition to see her in some of those great Latin outfits. Tonight’s opening dance was a waltz to When I Need You and it was very good in its way although as Len pointed out it was “a little safe.’ Still Rachel and Pasha got a score of 27 and with Craig describing Rachel’s rise and fall as gorgeous they should be safe for several weeks at least.

Next up was possibly an even more embarrassing performance that Dave Myers as the very camp Julien Macdonald danced quite awkwardly to Madonna’s Vogue before being very loud and shouty and giving the impression that he had taken something before he took to the dancefloor. He and dance partner Janette Manrara get a score of 20 which looks grossly unfair to Ben Cohen when you view both performances back.

Another overmarked dance pair up next with Deborah Meaden from Dragons Den and Robin Windsor getting 24 points for their tango to Abba’s Money Money Money.

A possible male finalist up next with Casualty’s Patrick Robinson looking very good with his opening jive to Bruno Mars’ Runaway Baby. Although the intro slot showed Patrick struggling with a dodgy knee he showed bags of energy and both he and dance partner Anya Gamis seemed to be having great fun out there. Another set of 7′s from the judges brought them a very respectable 28 points.

Next up was the ‘interesting’ pairing of Vanessa Feltz with James Jordan. Their cha cha to Shania Twain’s That Don’t Impress Me Much scored 19 points the same as Ben Cohen. The main reason to see Vanessa continue is to watch her boss James Jordan about in training and also to see him try to lift her in one of the later dances.

Just like last night’s first show the stand out performance of the show came with the final pair’s dance. Abbey Crouch had been talking to the media before this week about how she felt awkward on the dancefloor and despite being a model could not relax. She looked like a different person tonight as she and partner Alijaz Skorjanec produced a very impressive and elegant waltz to Des’ree’s Kissing You that scored 32 points from the judges, making it the top dance across both opening nights.

Strictly is back next Saturday with the first eliminations although you can get your usual midweek Strictly fix on BBC2 with Zoe Ball’s Strictly It Takes Two which is on at 6.30 from Monday to Friday.

Cheryl Cole Releases First Photos From 2014 Calendar – the former Girls Aloud singer has released the first  photos from her new 2014 calendar and they show her in a see-through outfit and stockings and suspenders.

Cheryl announced just last week that she and her boyfriend of 14 months, Tre Holloway, had split up. Well she certainly doesn’t look like a woman who is too upset in these latest photo releases from her new 2014 calendar.

30-year old Cheryl looks in great shape as she poses by a remote US highway wearing just an open black jacket and black stockings and suspenders matched with a pair of black high heels.

In another shot Cheryl is seen wearing a retro-style blue and red checked swimsuit with red heels.

The cover shot for the calendar sees Cheryl wearing a high fashion silver swimsuit with a large see-through section and yet again some more skyscraper heels, this time in silver. She is posing for the cover photo in a tropical garden surrounded by a selection of cactus plants. This sounds a little strange but to be honest she looks so great in her nude style swimwear we doubt many people will notice the surroundings.

It seems that Cheryl and Tre split up due to the strain of conducting a relationship whilst living on different sides of the Atlantic. Cheryl didn’t want to relocate to the US and Tre was not keen on moving full-time to the UK from his home in LA so the pair decided to part.

The Official Cheryl Cole 2014 Calendar is available for purchase from tomorrow.

Britney May Have Got Some Digital Help For Work Bitch Video –  the singer has been getting some great reviews for her new single, Work Bitch, but some images released from the studio behind her new video seem to suggest that she may have received some digital assistance to look so good.

Britney and director Ben Mor worked with the HOAX Films digital production studio on the video’s visual effects and some shots released by HOAX seem to show that the singer looked quite a lot slimmer in the edited shots than she did in the original photos from the set.

Part of the brief for HOAX was apparently to provide sky shots as well as ‘clean up.’ This sounds quite a lot like the video version of airbrushing that goes on with magazine photos of celebrities and models.

The ‘before’ shot of Britney is one of several released by the HOAX Studio last week that was later withdrawn following much discussion on Twitter and other social media sites.

Even though anyone who has seen Britney in recent weeks could not deny that she is in great shape and looks better than she has in a few years, she looks thinner in some of the video shots than she has appeared before or looks now.

Before

It is not the first time that one of Britney’s videos has come under scrutiny as her 2007 video for Piece Of Me was subject to the same speculation with regard to digital trickery.

Director Ben Mor is a fan of the Culver City based digital studio as he worked with them on the Katy Perry video for Part Of Me last year.

Britney is certainly pulling out all the stops to make sure her new album is a success as she has enlisted the help of Black Eyed Peas and The Voice star will.i.am to help produce the tracks on the album including the new single Work Bitch.

The single is the first from the as yet untitled new album which has a worldwide release date of 01 December 2013.

Taylor Swift

2013 American Music Awards, Winners and Red Carpet Fashions – the 2 big winners at this year’s AMAs were Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake.

Swift picked up a total of 4 awards including what it thought of as the event’s most valuable award, Artist of the Year.

Timberlake picked up 3 awards in total including that for Favourite Male Artist.

Also doing well this year were UK boy band One Direction who took home the award for Favourite Band, Duo or Group in the Pop/Rock category as well as Favourite Pop/Rock Album for Take Me Home.

The up and coming star seems to be 20-year old Ariana Grande who won the New Artist of the Year award. She showed just why she was the winner of the award as she performed a live version of her song Tattooed Heart for the audience. Ariana is not so well-known here in the UK but her 4 octave range voice is likely to win her plenty of fans with the exposure this award is sure to bring.

On the red carpet things were just as hotly contested with some subtle and sophisticated outfits doing battle with some altogether more ‘in your face’ numbers.

Ariana Grande

The Kardashian family were represented by the younger members of Kylie and Kendall Jenner who both wore stylish outfits for the event. Kendall’s outfit was a world away from the see-through top she wore in a recently released photo.

We have come to expect plenty of cleavage from Aubrey O’Day in whatever outfit she wears and at whatever event she goes to and we were not disappointed in the Danity Kane star’s very low, very wide-open red dress.

On stage the 2 biggest fashion statements came from Christina Aguilera who looked in fantastic shape and a world away from the woman who attended last year’s AMAs. She wore a 40′s Hollywood style white dress that appeared almost see-through showing off that great new figure she has worked so hard for.

The other less stylish statement came from who else but Miley Cyrus who wore a skin-tight lilac bikini style outfit that was covered in a strange pussycat design. The outfit was so tight that tv companies were obviously wary of complaints and only showed the 20-year old from the waist up.

See what you think yourself as to who were the winners and who were the losers in the fashion stakes at this year’s American Music Awards with this selection of some of the most memorable outfits.

New Beyoncé Album Release Shocks Music World – Beyoncé surprised all her fans and the whole music world this morning when she released a new 14 track and 17 video album straight to iTunes.

In a move that will either excite PR firms or put them in fear of imminent redundancy the new work had no PR build up to its release and took everyone completely by surprise although that didn’t stop it selling a huge number of copies in the first few hours it went on sale.

Beyoncé described the new self-titled project as a visual album (hence the 17 videos) and an unguarded musical statement. The question everyone will be asking is how did she keep such a big project a secret when you see that as well as featuring collaborations with husband Jay-Z, the album also features Drake, Justin Timberlake, and from her Destiny’s Child days there is Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.

You can also add to the mix some hot models in the form of Joan Smalls, Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn who feature in the new videos released today. We are guessing with such a big supporting cast that there must have been some pretty well drafted non-disclosure agreements knocking about.

Although the new album features a touching song entitled Blue that the singer performs with her young daughter Blue Ivy Carter in the main the album is a pretty hot and sexy affair. For instance on the video for Partition the singer plays the part of an exotic dancer whilst Jay-Z smokes a big cigar and the lyrics then feature a reference to Monica Lewinsky, she of the ‘Bill Clinton cigar/I did not have sexual relations with that woman’ fame.

One of the new album’s most punchy tracks is Drunk In Love and this features plenty of NSFW material with Jay-Z spending part of the track talking about how great his wife’s breasts are.

After what have been for her quite disappointing sales of her last album 4 Beyoncé is likely to be very encouraged by the early response to this surprise album with Billboard magazine quoting that industry sources reveal sales of 80k copies of Beyoncé in just 3 hours. Not too bad at $15.99 a shot for this iTunes only album.

As yet no details have been released about any possible cd version for high street retailers but as we didn’t even know this album even existed a few hours ago that is perhaps no great surprise.

It will be interesting to look back at this album in a few months time and see if any other artists are brave enough to leave all their promotion to the world of social media?

Check out some stills here from some of the new album’s videos.

Celine Dion Flashes Her Bra In Sexy Short Versace Dress on The Voice – the 45-year old singer shocked many US viewers when she wore a very revealing dress on The Voice last night.

The effect was made even greater by the fact that the French-Canadian was wearing the same style Versace dress that 21-year old Selena Gomez had worn earlier this year to the VMAs but this time Celine wore a much shorter mini version that showed off her legs as well as having the same open fronted top that featured a see-through lacy bustier style bra.

Celine is clearly very comfortable in her own skin these days and the wife and mother of 3 children is on record as saying that she believes she has improved with age. Well from the look of her outfit yesterday she is clearly on a mission to prove the fact to everyone.

Celine Dion has had a quite exceptional career which includes 5 Grammy wins a long running (and highly lucrative) residency in Las Vegas as well as being an unlikely winner of the Eurovision Song Contest for Switzerland in 1988. When you add to these facts that she is also the best-selling Canadian artist of all-time, the 2nd best-selling female artist in the US during the modern era and the only woman to have 2 million selling singles in the UK then you begin to see why she is rated so highly by many people.

Despite such a long and diverse career Celine still keeps her family as her main priority in life and in 1999 she took 4 years off to be with her husband René after his cancer diagnosis and also to enable her to start a family.

Celine’s husband René is famous for having such faith in his future wife that he actually mortgaged his own home to finance the recording of her first album.

For her appearance on the finale of this season of The Voice Celine was joined on stage by singer Ne-Yo and the pair performed Celine’s new single Loved Me Back To Life, which got a great reception from the crowd in the studio as well as very good reviews from the critics.

Celine is a hard act for any vocalists to follow let alone singers who are new to the business. She famously has a 5 octave range to her voice and can sing in a variety of different styles although she has often been criticised for having an overly sentimental style and relying too much on her big powerful notes.

In the UK and the US she is seen as being in a similar musical grouping as Mariah Carey although interestingly she also makes a number of recordings in her native French and these are seen in a much more serious light than her English recordings are viewed.

The Top Selling Christmas Songs Of All-Time – as we move ever closer to Christmas Day Amazon has just released details of its all-time biggest selling Christmas downloads.

The top Christmas song of all-time according to the Amazon mp3 download figures is a song that is seen by most people as one of the few Christmas themed songs of recent years to have real heart and spirit and is a true radio and tv favourite at this time of year.

Fairytale of New York the 1987 single from The Pogues and featuring vocals from the late great Kirsty MacColl, is the most downloaded Christmas song according to the new Amazon mp3 sales figures.

The song, which was co-written by The Pogues’ Shane MacGowan, a famous hard-drinking punk singer who was, incidentally, born on Christmas Day, tells the story of a drunken Irishman in a New York police cell thinking about the Christmas years of his past.

The Fairytale of New York has won countless television and newspaper surveys that aimed to find the UK’s favourite Christmas single so it is no great surprise that the Amazon figures now reveal the track to also be the most purchased as well.

In 2nd place in the list of top-selling Christmas songs was Mariah Carey’s 1994 single All I Want For Christmas, which has just last week sold its millionth copy in the UK. Just this Christmas alone the song has added another 68k sales to the total. All of those sales plus the many tv and radio plays have meant the song has generated around $50m in royalties over the years.

3rd place in the Christmas all-time list went to Wham’s 1984 hit Last Christmas. The single was in competition for that year’s Christmas Number 1 with Band Aid’s charity single Do They Know It’s Christmas but failed to make the top spot instead spending some time stuck at Number 2. The Ethiopian Famine appeal charity won out however as Wham donated all of their royalties from Last Christmas to the appeal.

Last Christmas is one of the most heavily covered of all the Christmas themed tracks and artists such as Atomic Kitten, Metro Station, Jamelia, Savage Garden, Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Busted, Victoria Justice and The Three Degrees are just a small number of those that have recorded the track since its 1984 release.

Here is a list of the Top 10 Christmas Songs of All-Time, according to Amazon’s download sales

1. Fairytale Of New York – The Pogues, featuring Kirsty MacColll
2. All I Want For Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey
3. Last Christmas – Wham
4. I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day – Wizzard
5. Merry Xmas Everybody – Slade
6. Dominick The Monkey – Lou Monte
7. Christmas Lights – Coldplay
8. Driving Home For Christmas – Chris Rea
9. Merry Christmas Everyone – Shakin’ Stevens
10. Do They Know It’s Christmas? – Band Aid

Shakira To Get More Curves? – the sexy Colombian singer and model has today revealed on Twitter the title of her new joint single with Rihanna and also said that she may get a little curvier as she has no time to exercise at the moment.

The 36-year old is known for her incredible flexibility and fitness and her stage show features a huge of amount of dancing. In fact such is her influence that an Indian choreographer last year even credited Shakira with helping to make belly dancing more popular.

Shakira is famous for her incredible hip movement and this is best seen in her video for “Whenever, Wherever” which has a long sequence showing the singer belly-dancing to the sound of jungle beats. Shakira is a big fan of the dance style saying: ‘For me, belly-dancing is spiritual. It targets your core muscles and shapes you up. Not only do your stomach muscles get toned, it also works wonders for your curves.’

These days not only does Shakira have her music career to think about but she also has her young son Milan to take care of. MIlan, who will be one year old later this month, is the first child for Shakira and her football player boyfriend Gerard Piqué.

Whether motherhood will signal a change in musical style for the Colombian is yet to be seen. She is known for her sexy rhythms and lyrics and has released songs such as “Underneath Your Clothes”, “Hips Don’t Lie” and her single “Whenever, Wherever” contains the line: Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, So you don’t confuse them with mountains.”

Well it seems as though those small and humble breasts of Shakira (size 32B in case you wondered) may well get a bit of a boost as she has been talking to Glamour magazine this month and said that her boyfriend ‘doesn’t like too skinny and prefers meat over bone.’ Add this to her not having enough time for her previous exercise regime and we are guessing there may be some more dangerous curves on the Colombian in the next few months. We doubt if she will be turning into the same bodyshape as her fellow countrywoman Sofia Vergara anytime soon though.

Shakira also spends a lot of her time working for chartable causes and is a highly skilled communicator, no doubt helped by the fact that she speaks fluent Spanish, English and Portuguese as well as being able to converse in Arabic, Catalan, French and Italian. Not just a pretty face then!

Shakira said of her time working with Rihanna: ‘Working with her was utopia. She’s the sexiest woman on the planet. At the end of the day, we’re both just basically Caribbean girls. The chemistry was so good and so real. She taught me dance moves. She was a sweet teacher.’

The new Shakira and Rihanna single is called “Can’t Remember To Forget You” and will be released on 13 January.

The February edition of Glamour with Shakira’s photos and interview is available from 14 January or can be purchased from their website for viewing on iPad, Kindle Fire or Nook.
