e4er slacker

I am the worst e4er out there! I really am! I've really neglected my e4 duties for such a long time now and to my big purple buddies up at Channel 4 HQ I am very VERY....lazy!

I know that not all e4ers blog or contribute much but I love my Flash Trash and all the crazy readers who flock to my Made In Chelsea blogs. I noticed that my Russian fans have stayed strong and are still hitting my blog on a daily basis.... Thank you! I promise to visit you before I die :)

So anyway I've just checked the e4 site and have seen 8 messages from the e4 Gods which I hadn't opened.... tut tut at myself. I had a quick speed read through them and I'll stick links and passwords at the bottom of this blog. Make sure you have a watch of any previews.... though I'm sure that they're old news by now because I'm so behind.

The last I heard the e4ers were being wined and dined in London and staying in a fancy hotel courtesy of Channel 4! I was invited but alas the diabetes Gods got to me first. By that I mean that I went to a big diabetes event at Warwick Uni.... not that my diabetes killed me. I spent my night eating in a Uni bar/restaurant thing and sleeping in halls with 19 other people with diabetes! Do ya know what though, it was ruddy amazing!!

I do hope that e4 will grab me quickly next time they decide to pay for a night on the town because I need to catch up with you all and meet those who I missed at the recruitment day!

Life is just so damn busy at the moment that I barely have time to breathe, but I'll try to get back on here more often. So here are the links I mentioned. Knock yourselves out and give me a nudge if I do go missing again!

Made In Chelsea season 3 is here!!

It’s back ladies and gents, Made In Chelsea had returned to e4 and is even bigger better and more fabulous than before. Tiaras, tantrums, tears and toffs will be filling up my Monday evenings from now on and I couldn’t be happier!

Since season 2 ended in December I’ve been having cravings for those party loving, label wearing, bed hopping socialites and now my thirst for trashy dramality TV can finally be quenched!

So what’s new with the Chelsea gays and galls? So much has happened in only 4 months (2 really as filming started in February) and I think that this season will be (as Proudlock would say) BEAUT!

Firstly, as predicted, Spaggie (Spencer and Caggie) didn’t last or even begin according to revelations from Caggs. It seems that Spencer wasn’t only in it for a quickie after all but the little minx Caggie was! Who’d have thought that behind those puppy dog eyes lay a man eating devil woman, intent on munching her way through men’s hearts, chewing them up and spitting them back out again as she went! I’m not being dramatic here, poor Spencer must have been devastated, especially after turning away the stunning and sweet Louise! Tsk Tsk Caggs….what a thing to do!

Then in the first scene of series 3 we discover that a new victim lies in her torture chamber (bed), going by the name of Joel. Joel was introduced to us by the doodle that Caggie is now sporting and passing off as a tattoo.

Next up we have the Millie Hugo Rosie and now Natalie square! “Who’s Natalie” I hear you ask?? Well to quote Hugo she’s someone who is “very observant and intelligent, the complete opposite of Millie!” OHHHH BURN MILLIE!! Serves you right for being a cheating scheming conniving female version of Hugo! This makes no sense I know, but hey, if she wants to advertise and broadcast her promiscuous ways to the nation then I’m sure she can take it on the chin. Those plumped up lips would protect it anyway *duck pouts*

We caught a glimpse of Natalie during the episode and as predicted she is stunningly beautiful, slim, born with a silver spoon in her mouth and keeping Hugo on his toes, for now.

One thing that I have noticed about the majority of the cast is that they find expressing their emotions and explaining their behaviour so extremely difficult it’s almost cringe worthy. I actually don’t think that the programme is edited to show those awkwardly long pauses anymore, but the cogs in their heads actually stop working while they’re looking for a get out of jail free card.

Anyway moving on - The boob party….

Only Gabbylicious T would throw herself a party in honour of her boobs (or lack of now that she’s had a reduction) and it was the perfect scene to reacquaint us with Mr Francis Boulle! Ah Francis, he’s so naïve, so simple, so lacking in experience but yet so unbelievably appealing! The blatant lack of eye contact with Gabbylicious had me in stitches, and that grin on his face too….priceless!

A few of the other cast members kept me entertained as I knew they would….Olli and his new car, Cheska and Binky discussing the troubles of being known as the “Bridget Jones spinsters of Chelsea”, Mr multi millionaire Richard made an appearance and looks set to sweep Cheska off her feet, Louise and Jamie sadly didn’t last and Proudlock reveals that he is in fact a born again Christian.

The next episode looks more focused on the guys which will give us a nice break and also a chance to see how bitching is not just a woman’s game!

So make sure you’re watching e4 on Monday night at 10pm for episode 2 of Made In Chelsea.

Made In Chelsea Quick Catch Up

Calling all e4/Made In Chelsea fans out there....I’ve written a quick fire catch up on Made In Chelsea season 2, for those who need their memory refreshing.

The love square between Hugo Millie Rosie and whoever it was that Millie cheated with came to a bitter end at the end of season 2 during Francis and Mark Francis’ birthday bash. Millie announced to a room full of the MIC cast (and crew) that little Miss Rosie had been having it off with Mr crooked neck Hugo Taylor. The horror when that one was unleashed….it’s just unbearable to think about now! Nah it was pretty good TV, even though we all knew it was coming. I could tell from the shifty look in Rosie’s eyes that day in the café with Millie and Caggie, when she denied knowing anything about the aforementioned cheating! That sneaky sneak, how she thought she could get away from the red hot radar Caggs was using is beyond me. Anyhow, I hear from the twitter grape vine that all is well again and that the girls have air kissed and made up. Though I’m sure season 3 will bring with it a few snipes from the classy Chelsea gals.

Spaggie (Spencer and Caggie)....are they on, are they off, are we getting slightly bored with the game playing now? The flirting/arguing/confusion had gone on all of the way through season 1 and until the end of season 2, but they finally managed to get down to it and have some naughty and noisy cuddles when they went away to ___________ (that place with the snow??). Thank Lucifer that is over with! As entertaining as it was, the tedious sulking from both parties was beginning to grate on me. 

 

Speeding up a bit now….Gabriella recovered from her psychotic rage that consumed her throughout all of season 2 and befriended Chloe Green, much to Olli’s dismay! Poor Olli had his heart broken when Chloe (the topshop heiress) ended their intense and loving 2 month relationship by using the excuse that he had been too hard on poor Gabriella. Lame Chloe, very lame! I’m sure it had nothing too do with the fact that daddy did not approve of your boyfriend/TV “career”.

Cheska fell out with Binky which devastated me at the time, as I was inspired by their inseparable and committed friendship. Now that Cheska is all loved up (though I’m sure that hasn’t lasted) and Binx is back to her usual self after moving back from “team Spencer”, they can all revel in how amazing and fabulous Olli’s hair is while reconnecting and sealing their friendship in ways that only Chelsea girls can.

Even faster now....

• Jamie got it on with Louise after bedding Gabriella on a drunken one night stand.
• Proudlock and Alice went on a boat, ate strawberries, drank champagne and got a bit toungsey.
• Proudlock bailed on Alice.
• Francis was dating Natalia but after announcing that he is still a virgin has become single again, and is now the most eligible diamond dealer in the world.
• Frederick did some muscle flexing.
• Mark Francis Gabbylicious T and Amber tried to hold onto their 5 minutes of fame by cropping up every now and again, and not really contributing anything at all to the series.

Check out the trailer for season 3 which will be hitting your e4 telebox on April 2nd at 10pm!

Cardinal Burns - Vomit Cop

I always get that little excited stomach flip when I open up my email and it says 1 new message from e4ers admin! I rush straight to the e4ers website (as bloody iphones won't allow me to view all of the content) and see that purple and white bubble saying messages 1.

Then I rush to twitter, send out a message to alert the gang (even though I'm sure they already know of the exciting news) then flip back to watch the clip that we have been sent.

Todays little treat was a preview of the new show that is coming to e4 in March. It's a show called Cardinal Burns which I posted about in my last blog.

So answer me this....Do you enjoy watching people being sick? Being sick on dead bodies even? Falling over in their own sick? And being sick on another person? Whatever, whether you do or you don't just click on the link below and put in the password Cardinalburns

It's pretty gross but like Jeremy Kyle it's one of those shows that you can't not watch. Plus it's a preview so you'll get that warm fuzzy feeling in your belly of being special!

So here it is guys....ENJOY

The Woman in Black

So last night I went to see The Woman in Black, which was hyped up to be “The horror movie of the year” (I’m not quite sure how this statement works as it’s only Feb).

                                                  

As an avid horror/paranormal sub-genre fan I was eager for this film to be a winner, to be the one film that would actually scare me into sleepless nights with the light on, hiding under the duvet. This did not happen.

I thought the storyline, the actors, the production and the simplicity of it all were fantastic. There were no special effects, just good old fashioned spookiness, things that go bump in the night, creepy kids and the stereotypical haunted house. It all worked well together, pretty much flawlessly, however it was too predictable.

I knew what would happen before it did. I knew where the story was going without having read the book. I knew when the girls behind me would be screaming. I knew once it had started, that I would be falling asleep straight away that night (with the light off).

I’m not regretting seeing it, as I wasn’t bored at any point throughout the film. Like I said before, the characters and plot kept my attention. I just wish it had that little something extra that would make it really special.

If you scare easily then I would recommend this film to you. If like me, you need something that really hits you hard, then this is probably too tame. I’m still hunting for that perfect horror!!

The Woman In Black

Out on February 10th and starring everyones favourite wizard, Daniel Radcliffe, The Woman In Black looks set to be a huge hit!

Daniel plays a young lawyer (Arthur Kipps) who travels to a remote village where he discovers the vengeful ghost of a scorned woman terrorizing the locals.

OoOoOoOoO it looks scary doesn't it?! Lets hope it is though. Too many films show the 'best bits' in the trailers but the actual film disappoints!

I've stuck the trailer in anyway (for your eyes) and will review the film as soon as I've seen it!

The Midnight Beast

Everyone’s favourite tele-box channel E4 have gone and grabbed themselves three young chappies to entertain the nation this year!

The Midnight Beast (aka Stefan Abingdon, Dru Wakely and Ashley Horne), are a youtube sensation, with over 40 million views and a MAHOOSIVE Facebook and twitter fanbase. The three members are performing arts students who write and record parodies like the famous cover of Kesha’s Tik Tok.

So like I said, E4 has taken them in and will be showing a new series in which we will follow a fictionalized version of the band members as they attempt to become successful musicians. Sounds good eh?

If you don’t know who the Midnight Beast are, then there’s a video below for your eyes. Also if you’re a Harry Potter fan (of course you are!!) then take a look at Wands!

Hopefully there will be more info on the tele-box series soon!

WANDS!! CHECK IT OOOOOOUT!!

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy

I had the chance to watch a preview of Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy before it hits the tele screens tonight on e4, and I must say that I was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did.

Not being a massive fan of Noel’s, I was really hoping that he would come through with this one, and I watched it with an open mind. I had seen the adverts and thought it was a bit too much, like he was trying too hard to impress and show that he didn't have to follow the generic comedy route that everyone seems to be taking these days.

I’ve never seen a show like this before but at the same time it has elements of everything I find entertaining.

If I’m honest, the main attraction when I watched it was the set design. I felt like I was a kid again, coming home from school and watching CITV! It was absolutely perfect for the style of comedy that Noel was getting across and fitted exactly with the characters. The bright clashing colours and oversized props captured my attention and held it.

I wouldn’t say that this is laugh out loud comedy, it’s more subtle than that, and to be honest I don’t think I’ve ever laughed out loud at Noel anyway. But I did find myself smiling at the one liners and characters.

I found Sgt Raymond Boombox and his sidekick Gash the most entertaining. I’m not going to go into huge amounts of detail because it’s not on the tele box for another 9 hours but “doooo youuuu taaaake caaaards?!” (You’ll understand later tonight).

Anyway I hope you all have a watch tonight, it’s on e4 at 10pm. Tweet to me about it @Topgeargirly. I would love to hear what other people think about it.

Here’s a trailer for your eyes….

Spice reunion....ohh the pain!

Has anyone else heard the rumour that the Spice Girls are getting back together for a special one off performance at the Olympics?! 

Please say it isn't true!!

Lost the baby weight....and gained some massive panties!

Victoria Beckham is showing off her post baby body in her first lingerie shoot since giving birth to Harper in July. I must say that I am completely uninspired by this so called fashion/beauty shot.

I'm not going to get into the whole body image debate, as people have their own perception of what is beautiful. However I will comment on her choice of underwear. I know she had a baby but surely she can afford to buy her own pants by now? Why is she sporting a nappy? Is this a Huggies campaign?! Is this what women should be wearing in bed to impress??

Sure those parachute style undies are probably very comfy (and practical for the incontinent) but would I feel sexy in them? No sir!

I'm just wondering how many people will now rush out to their nearest Tesco’s to stock up on Pampers super dry....

Made In Chelsea....Just while we wait

Because I'm rather impatient about waiting for Made In Chelsea season 3 to be filmed and aired I started youtubing and found this! I absolutely love Mark Francis Vandelli and hope that some like-minded people out there find this clip as entertaining as I do! Cheers darlings!

Made In Chelsea season 3

I've heard a rumour that Made In Chelsea season 3 will start filming in February! This pleased me greatly and off I ran to e4 to ask them what the truth was! I assume that they are having a very long lunch as they haven't replied yet. Fingers crossed that the Chelsea toffs will be back on our teleboxes soon though. I miss the drama, the hair flicking, the pouting and Proudlock's pirate earring. Plus I can't wait to see appearances from the little doggies they all seem to have accumulated over Christmas.

Hopefully there will be more news soon!

Chronicle

Doesn't Chronicle look good?? Yes yes it does! It's out on 1st Feb and I hear on the grape vine that the lovely peps at e4 are doing a competition! You can win a trip to Seattle where it was filmed :) I know it's a shameful plug from an e4er, but I need to earn brownie points somehow?! Don't judge me!!

Anyway here's a trailer for your eyes....

Also just to make life a tiny bit easier, here's a link to the e4 comp!

Caggie Dunlop and Millie Mackintosh made Proudlock a sandwich filler at the Daily Mail's Women Of The Year Awards in London. I'm hoping that is not real fur around Miss Mackintosh's neck though!!

New Girl

"Whooooooooo’s that giiiiiirrrrrrrl! IT’S JESS!" Sing along if you know it guys!

New Girl hit our tele boxes on Channel 4 recently following a series of teasing and tantalising adverts. For me I was sold by the ads and knew that I would fall for this new delightful show within seconds of hearing that theme tune.

Staring the absolutely beautiful quirky and captivating Zooey Deschanel, New Girl goes through the motions that the majority of girls (and possibly guys) suffer after a break up, showing us just how Jess (Zooey) deals with her emotions.

Luckily Jess has a super hot model friend, Cece and three new flat mates Nick Schmidt and Winston to support her through her troubled erratic state.

My favourite scene so far has to be the punch dance ex boyfriend pillow face part, which made me reminisce back to times when I had wanted to punched an ex in the face! Ahhhh happy days…. J

So if you’ve just been cheated on by a guy with exceptionally good hair, or just want a chilled out easy watch, then check this out! It’s on 4OD right now!

Can’t wait for the next episode!

New Years Resolutions

My new years resolutions are as follows:

1. Find a new job that I will enjoy, will stick at, pays well and I don't mind getting up for in the morning.
2. Drink more water (thought I would give myself an easy one)
3. Find somewhere to live....I have 3 options for this:

• Wait for my friend Toby to stop livin' it up in Thailand, then move in with him when he returns
• Wait until September (like I said I would) and move up to Yorkshire with my friend Sam
• Live on my own
