It will never be easy whatever way it is done - go for it BT!! :D

I'm sorry BT, I'm just confusing everyone with my ignorance!!! I've just noticed that the page with the Forums listed has the title 'Homepage' at the top so that is the page where you can click 'View all Artist Forums'!!! :rolleyes: To actually be counted as a member of an Artist Forum you have to go into 'Your Chosen Forums' and change the small box beside the names from red to green. Those Artists will be the only ones to show on your 'Homepage' in the future unless you choose to add more. I wasn't a member of any Artist Forum until 10 minutes ago!! :D (So if you have already done that, then, yes, you will be a member of those Forums. :) ) Julie

How long has ' ilike' been going? He has many more fans on there already than Bebo and Facebook!! :o :) Julie

I don't mean the 'Homepage' I mean the front page with all the forums listed where you get the option to click on 'View all the Optional Artist Forums' - I've only just found out how to become a member of a forum and I notice that our membership has gone up by 2 since this afternoon!! :D Isn't this exciting stuff!!! :lol: Julie

I can understand that admin want to save space and tidy up the Main Page - hopefully new people will click on to 'View All Artist Forums' first and then decide which ones they want to keep on their personal main page. I would like to know who our 48 members are!? :D It would be lovely to see that number rise!! :dance: Julie There are 13 Forums with less members than us (I've just been through the list - sad aren't I!! :rolleyes: :D ) and the Forums that always come near to the top of the League every week have twice as many members as us, so we don't really do badly do we!! :D

It's a shame about the Golden Globes being cancelled (hopefully the Oscars won't be!!) as we usually get to see photos of D and Natasha attending some of the relative parties!! Maybe the parties will still go ahead!!...... :D Julie

I haven't watched any music channels for ages but as we had a family gathering today, I gave my husband the chore of deciding which music channel to play as background music - the first channel he tried was 'The Vault' and the first track we heard was........'Colourblind'!! :wub: :cheer: It was lovely to see and put me in a good mood for the rest of day! :D I hope it's not much longer now before we get to see a new Darius video on the music channels.... :dance: Julie

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! :banana: :yahoo: :D Julie

As news is scarce and I managed to get a copy of this magazine, I will elaborate on what Meg has posted :) The magazine was titled 'Reality TV Now' Issue 8 Winter 2007 of the Now Specials Series! - and Darius was listed under 'the celebs whose star has risen since they went on reality telly' I'm afraid I don't know how to post pictures :blush: but, as Preston says, the photo is really lovely (even though he does look a little tired round the eyes)!! :wub: The write-up is as follows: 'After missing out on a spot in Hear'Say on Popstars, Darius returned to reality telly with solo ambitions, this time coming third to Will Young and Gareth Gates on Pop Idol. "I'm the guy who stood up to the judges and said I'd have a No.1 single and a platinum album by the time I was 35," he says. "I then turned down Simon Cowell's £1 million record deal and carved my own path, achieving my goal before I was even 25." With lead roles in West End musicals Chicago and Guys and Dolls under his belt, the 27 year-old Scottish-Persion singer-songwriter is currently holed up in a studio in LA recording his third album.' Nothing we didn't already know, I'm afraid, but good to see him in a magazine again!! Julie

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :D I get the feeling 2008 is going to be a very good year for Darius - can't wait to meet up with you all again! :dance: I also think that Gareth will 'do just fine' after appearing on Dancing on Ice - once he is truly back in the public eye his fan-base will increase again!! Julie My crystal ball tells me that 2008 is going to be the year of Darius Danesh, Gareth Gates and Rydiian Roberts - can you see a pattern forming here!!? :D

There was a picture of Darius in the Sunday People today in an article about Leon winning 'X' Factor and how successful Scottish contestants have been in the past!! Julie

Definitely 'Mercury Rising' please - my favourite from 'Dive In'!! :wub: Julie

'Secret Song' today :heart: Julie

'Dive In' for me! 'Live Twice' is a beautiful song, but I'll always prefer 'happy' to 'sad' ! Julie

Wasn't that the day that Darius was supposed to be at a Princes Trust function in Northern Ireland ?- there was no mention of him being there either!!! According to Natasha's website, she attended a function in LA on 6/12! We seek him here, we seek him there......!!! :lol: He's very elusive when he wants to be isn't he!! :D Does anyone know how long he was staying for? Julie

Darius got a mention in 'The Goss', Daily Star yesterday (really promotional news!! :rolleyes: ) 'Darius Danesh enjoyed celebrating the 10th Anniversary of London's West End show Chicago. The cheeky Scots studmuffin, 27, was so taken with the Gran Centenario tequila that he and his mates left with two bottles.' Julie

Yes, I noticed that too Preston - two male reviews!!! :rolleyes: They both seem to think that all the BFs were only OK at the best and one had to particularly 'single out' D - no change there then!!! :angry: Julie

Morning DD :hi: Also, they just said on ITV that on the 6 o'clock news tonight they will be 'on the red carpet at Chicago, chatting to a host of former stars' - maybe we will get a glimpse (or more!) of him then!! :D Julie

Love and Life

The weather is supposed to improve by the afternoon - I hope they're right!!! :unsure: I was watching Channel 5 tonight and at the end of the 10 o'clock news they announced that tomorrow on the 7 o'clock news they would be celebrating 10 years with Chicago......hopefully that means they will be chatting with the stars backstage and maybe D will be included!! I'm getting excited now......looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow :dance: Julie

I think they were being a bit optimistic with £350 and £500 tickets!!! :rolleyes: When I rang last week I was hoping that they might be selling the £350 tickets cheaper but no such luck!! I shall be really upset if people who book late get the chance to buy good tickets for a cheaper price!!! I think we will ask when we get there if there is any chance of an upgrade for a bit more money - there's no harm in trying is there!!! :D Julie (The tickets still haven't arrived so I don't really feel like I'm going yet!!! - I hope they come tomorrow or else I will start to worry! :unsure: )

Malibu (and lemonade) - my usual drink :D orange squash or orange juice?

Cocktails for me please :drink: Coca Cola or Lemonade?

On a beach (I don't think I have ever snoozed in the garden, there's always too much going on at home!! :D ) Relaxing beach/pool holiday or sporty/outdoor pursuits holiday (e.g. camping, skiing) Julie

I think it starts in January Julie
