Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
A comment on Jay's facebook said that his management organise his fans and bus them down to the studio everytime he's up for eviction. It's seemed somewhat preposterous until Jay's mum confirmed via twitter that it was true. Naturaly Aaron being Jay's nemesis and not letting the guy have an easy ride in the final week is not going to get him cheers from that crowd. Incidently at Harry's eviction Aaron himself noticed the discrepancy between the crowd reaction to the votes and theorised that they fill it with half of Newcastle (genius :D ) Oh well Jay's welcome home party is being filmed for Channel 5 and MTV (presumebly some cross pollination with his mates from Geordie Shore :rolleyes: ) but Aaron gets his own winner story and Faye. I think Aaron got the better end of the deal imo

Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
No offence but for me Big Brother is a a reality series not a quasi one like The Hills so I would expect some reality instead a narrative. We're supposed to vote based on a Housemates personality and how they cope with situations. I know they can only fit so much into a hour long show but if they don't even attempt to properly showcase that or try and spin things to create their own story then why bother? We should all watch an episode of Corrie instead. I'd also say this series is all about the spin offs and social networking. Channel 5 was never going to get the ratings Channel 4 pulled in, right now it's mostly the hardcore fans that used to be glued to live feed that are watching and voting. The tweets and facebook clips are very important now, not just as a replacement for Live Feed but they are apparently being used to reach out to younger fans. Certain housemates would have been up and out long ago if not for these things so I'd say they're very important. If you disagree then that's fine but I can't help but feel frustrated as a long time fan. That's all.

Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
Only if you follow what's shown on the highlights. Pics on twitter showed him joining in the fun and dancing. From what I gather from the tweets they sensed that he was a little "off" so Jay and Louise after promising they wouldn't say anything spilled the beans and got in a huge bitchfest about him. More than anything I'd say that was what spoiled the party. Aaron seemed to bring it back around having fun with Tom and Alex after J-Lou had gone to bed. They should have given Aaron the opportunity to be in on the gift. If he'd have still said no then fair enough but by their own admission they knew he wouldn't be pleased about them going behind his back so they can't plead ignorance and technicaly it isn't their money. They all agreed to split it evenly when they leave remember? Not that I think Alex and Louise would hold to that agreement in million years but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
Oh I don't doubt the genuinity of Alex's behavior....I know it's completely false. There's tons of of stuff out there including Alex's own website that shows the Alex we see in the house is nothing like the one on Big Brother. Kinda disapointed with tonights Highlights but I wasn't suprised. I did hope they'd show that Aaron did join with the party especialy as twitter did show he was doing his dad dancing and even had a laugh with Tom and Alex while J-Lou retired to bed but alas not to be. I don't think anyone came out of this episode fully unscathed...well Tom did but sadly he's irrelevant.

Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
Jay and Alex are pretty much the handpicked ones since they're reality tv whores and even travel in the same circles (and I don't mean Newcastle) hence the rumour that they know each other. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if Jay won. I don't like him at all but other than trying to copy Aaron's behavior that he saw in the crypt and cosying up to him while badmouthing him to the group I think he's generaly been himself, it's not really his fault BB has covered up his worst behavior. An Alex win would just be terrible and wrong on every level. "I'd love to be able to do modelling"...YOU'RE A FREAKIN' GLAMOUR MODEL! Regardless of this she hasn't done enough to justify a win anyway. At least Brian Belo earned his cash. True. There's another reason why Faye leaving does him good as she's now campaigning for him on the outside. I must admit while I liked Faye I felt that when she was outside she'd have her family and the usual BOTS suspects turn her head and make her doubt the relationsip but I'm impressed by how in control she's been. She's shot down the supposed evidence that he was using her and made it clear the two are a lot more solid than we've seen. Probably due to their four hour early morning conversations. Even Brian Dowling had to admit that Faye knows the real Aaron while he only knows the character on TV. She's doing good work for him all over the ancilary media. He's had fun all the way through...hell he's a lot of fun with Faye. Playfights, water fights, spinning Louise round on chairs while she makes orgasm noises and that's just the stuff shown on their facebook site. They may be inclined to show him having fun now that Faye's left. Certainly task requiring him to do a strip tease would imply that. Although I wouldn't bet my money that'll last.

Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
If you look closely other people did walk off during the letters, presumebly for the toilet or whatever. Tom did call him out on it and Aaron said he would have preferred the letters be read in private instead of reading each others. Not to mention he was going through a pretty big meltdown at the time which apparently the source of which was him being jealous over Faye looking like she was flirting with Jay. I think he liked it better in the house when there was a divide so he could keep the ones he liked away from Anton and Jay's toxic influence. Aaron can be incredibly annoying but the edits he gets seem very unfair that I can't help but rout for him because I feel he's no were near as bad as he's made out. When you have all the fb clips and the tweets of his having fun and messing around, same with cock up with the noms you have to wonder why this doesn't translate to the Highlights. They just push their own narrative particularly to contrast perfect couple J-Lou with messed up Farron. I felt for sure they'd show a conversation were they made up as it seemed important and funny...heck I fell a little bit in love with Faye myself when she quoted Monty Python :yahoo: but nope. Instead Jay's own two day sulkathon never happened apparently and he's perfectly nice and civil to everyone/ :rolleyes:

Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
Because we've got video of her being interviewed in her capacity of being a glamour model and she gives off a very different vibe, I've not personaly seen it but apparently so does her appearance on Snog, Marry, Avoid. There's also the fact that she's a posts on a certain message board and they give the impression of her being very different to how she acts in the house. I do respect the kind of player Anton was trying to be but he was completely crap at it. Most of the scandals he helped cause with his stirring would have happened anyway and his attempt to play both teams against each other was hamfisted. The clincher was his diary room persona was annoying, he doesn't have comic timing at all. He did have a chance to pull it around when he survived over Aden by being like Slick Vic and show a softer side inbetween the gameplaying but Anton was obsessed with beating Aaron he lost all perpective...he didn't even realise his biggest nemesis was "best mate" Harry who was an incredibly good game player. Rebecka? Well it's sad but true that there are double standards for men and women and she didn't do herself any favours by being so full on. She could have waited a week or two before pulling men into bathrooms and telling them she likes to pee on them. I don't think she's a bad person...I don't think anyone is this series (well Harry outside the house seems like a douche but it's irrelevant now.) As for Aaron how exactly is he backstabbing? He's never nominated any of his actual mates in there and he's showed incredible understanding when in a fit or rage Faye nominated him. Even his admittance to manipulating other peoples nominations to protect Faye weeks ago is akin to dropping hints about about what present you want for christmas. Evicted HMs seem to think he's some Darren Brown type that can brainwash you into doing what he wants. He's a game player but I find him a fair one.

Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
If they'd allowed her nomination for Tom as shown on BOTS then they could have gotten a five way eviction but BB claimed she'd been influenced. The plan was doomed to failure as BB would have just restarted till the got a result they wanted. The reason that Tom and Louise don't get the flak is because Tom's was a genuine mistake (as far as we know) and Louise was put in an "impossible" position which saw her nominate the "good friend" she's nominated most weeks. Game playing on a gameshow? The swine. But seriously this series has encouredged gameplaying hence why they were able to openly talk noms. I find Aaron's gameplaying more honest than most people in the house. Alex - the glamour model that likes it "hard and fast with a little bit of spit" but acts prudish in the house. Louise - the dead normal glamour model who has acted in films and was nearly in the Saturdays and has a boyfriend on the outside. Did I forget to mention she's dead normal? Jay - down to earth plumber who happens to have missed out on a place in Geordi Shore and appears in Katie Price's model show and has a team of professionals canvassing for him on the outside. So real let's forget that his real name is Justin Waggot. I could at least respect Brian Belo for keeping an act up for so long but without LF I can't respect the above wannabes.

Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
He was supposed to vote for Louise as per the plan to get them all up as she was sat to his left during the aborted first attempt. Shown out of order on the highlights the second attempt Tom messed up his noms by accident and thus the group expected Aaron to adjust his nomination to correct it. He didn't, he decided to nominate for himself. Louise did the exact same thing, she admitted to Aaron in one of the fb clips she understood why he did it as when it all went to pot she too threw plan out the window she too and nominated who she wanted up. Louise in real life is far from thick. Something else to consider is that BOTS showed Louise's second attempt to nominate Tom but BB wouldn't accept it as she'd been influenced by all the talk. Bold as it was the plan was never going to work. BB would have restarted time and again until they were sure there was no pattern to their noms. They don't want all them up, they're saving that for the final, I can imagine they wanted a straight head to head or a three way. I doubt Aaron is scared of being up. Without getting big headed he's acknowledged that he's topped the votes each time. He even put himself up when they were allowed to discuss nominations she could dillute the vote so it wouldn't a straight Anton vs Faye eviction. He does get along with Alex and pretty much the whole house wants her to win I think he's probably trying to curry favour. Didn't work though.

Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
Currently perhaps but when he came in he was fairly lively. He danced and joked around with the rest of them. Also bare in mind in comparison to a certain other housemate he probably is the life and soul of the party. Jay has apparently spent most of the last 2 days in bed and according to Maisy has mood swings which sound more drastic and frequent than Aaron's. Why we only get drip fed this stuff in favour of highlighting fun time Jay or loved up Jay is beyond me. His popularity isn't hard to fathom. He's usual archetype which is popular with the more diehard forum dwellers. Well spoken, dry (sometimes scathing) humor, supposedly complex thus they can dissect and debate the meaning behind his actions etc. Add to that he seems to be given a negative bias at times (though not always, they could have really hung him out to dry in the past two episodes) and the supposed accusations that he'd been bullied but we're not allowed to see it generaly makes his fanbase very defensive come voting time. That may not count as much in the channel 4 series but less viewers means you get more of these kinds of fans voting. His mood wasn't really about the foodfight or at least that's what Faye told Jem. He was jealous that Faye was flirting with Jay. Don't get me wrong, he probably thought that mess was horrible but at the heart of it was that. Same with the wheel chair joke, obviously it hits home because of his wife but that night he supposedly was put through the wringer with Jay and Anton rubbing it in that Faye came on to Anton. You could see what looked like the kickoff on the website and apparently got quite heated. That's the reason I can't get onto this series, it's too filtered into what they want to see and that's a pity since I think this is a better selection of housemates than the channel 4 series managed in a long time.

Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
I doubt it. The editing of the rescue task omitted the fact that the two groups through the door agreed to let Aaron out after Aden so he could take his pain meds and Jem's meltdown over the mini task they were set hence why she convinced herself she couldn't stay without Faye. They made it look like Aaron was purely out to spite Anton. I can only imagine they want to hype up their rivalry. That's the weird thing about this series, even without live feed we have the articles and videos on their website that do help put things in better context but then the highlights tell a completely different story. You'd think if they were that desperate to do their own narrative they wouldn't bother with the website clips at all. Same deal with all the stuff they've covered up like Jay putting his shit into the freezer. It wasn't shown on the highights, no references to it on the website and all comments alluding to it is deleted yet they are fine with the evicted hms tellings fans all about it on twitter. You'd think they would go the whole distance and have the housemates sign some nondisclsure agreement.

Enrique Iglesias feat Pitbull - I Like How It Feels
It's for a re-release. It's a DVD of his Euphoria Tour that comes bundled with a new version of the album with Tonight and the three new songs. It was the second single from that album. It didn't really do too badly, it didn't chart very high in the UK but it boost sales of Insomniac while it was out. It did well in a handful of EU countries and the Frenchlish version with Nadiya was a huge hit in France. That being said I don't think Enrique's rendition was really destined for big things. Good song but a debatable choice for him to record.

The Femme Fatale Tour with special guest Enrique Iglesias
Oh I freely acknowledge she is a much bigger draw than he is. Particularly to a US audience. Just that it wouldn't have made sense for him to a warm up act. Makes you wonder why she would want to co-headline with anyone in the first place. I'd wager the touring markets decline in North America made her people nervous. With Circus there was a lot of good will towards her and people were eager to see her after her breakdown. Femme Fatal era hasn't had that same buzz and with the building sentiment after the last tour of "she didn't sing live, hardly danced and didn't look into it" etc they probably wanted an extra assurance she was going to fill those extra seats. Or maybe Britney just wanted to take it easy.

The Femme Fatale Tour with special guest Enrique Iglesias
It's not incorrect, he is definitely co-headlining the tour. He'll do a full show and then Britney will do a full show or vice versa. Billboard has confirmed that. Enrique is huge with the latin market in the US. He played to arenas in the there before he sang in English. He was on his second arena tour when Britney was playing to malls. Given his resurgance in the mainstream market and his own his own US dates of his tour being sold out wouldn't make sense for him to be a warm up act even for someone as big as Britney. More like 10-13. His English debut had two Hot 100 #1s. Bailamos and Be With You. Hero and Escape for a long time were his biggest hits in the mainstream US before his recent comeback hits you listed. Throw in some of his semi successful US songs like Do You Know and Rhythm Divine etc and maybe some of his spanish hits presumebly the ones that have crossedover to the pop charts and you've got a set.

Enrique ft Usher, TI, Akon, Nicole Scherzinger and more
It looks like it's going to be a mix of sounds. Incidently it's looks like there's some eleventh hour changes happening to the album. Also whether the single has changed since Redone's interview or they simply changes rappers the lead single "I Like It" features Pitbull.

Enrique ft Usher, TI, Akon, Nicole Scherzinger and more
So we've known for a while Enrique was going to have more than a few collaborations on the upcoming album. We've known about Akon, Wisin y Yandel and Juan Luis Guerra and now a French article has revealed two other collaborations with Nicole Scherzinger and Usher. Strangely the article doesn't mention a song Enrique has done with TI which was talked about by Redone in a radio interview which he claimed would be the first single. The article does talk about the first single "I Like It" out next week as well as a description of some of the tracks on it as well as it's overall direction. You can read the original French version here. I've copied and pasted a translation done by a fan on Enrique's official site here I've done a bit of further clean up of the translation..

Preview of Cuando Me Enamoro
Enrique is releasing two different singles "simultanelously" from his upcoming album. A Spanish song called "Cuando me Enamoro" which is a duet with Juan Luis Guerra and an entirely different song for the English market. He's put a 20 second preview in his saynow message as well as a message in both English and Spanish. Link There's also a behind the scenes look of the filming of the video... zEHBIljTxlI.

Whatever happened to Enrique
He does indeed have an album on the way. For various reasons the album will be 50/50 mix of English and Spanish with seven or so original English songs and seven or so original spanish songs so no adaptions although it has been said that the first single may be an exception and have an english and spanish version. They're hoping to release the album around March. He's put out a Saynow message today were he said he's almost finished. link For those interested there's been no word on the overall sound and direction of the album although he was working with Redone when he firsts started on the album and recently went in the studio with him again. He's done a third song with his new bffs Wisin y Yandel which will be on there and he's recorded a song with Akon which he hopes will make the album. A while ago he told Johnjay and Rich that's all the collaborations he's done for the album (at that point)but there's a few people he'd like to work with if can but doesn't want to jinx things by talking about it. He gave an interview in Mexico were he talked about Rihanna saying she wanted to record with him, he liked the idea but didn't think it was likely to happen. At one point he was supposed to do a duet with Lady Gaga but it didn't work out at the time, hopefully the idea will be ressurected since then. Well he did start work on this project while he was still promoting the Greatest Hits. Here's a video taken from back then were he talks about the hybrid album idea...vGcrM2RZHhA but from what he's said in other interviews it was a hard sell to the label to do this album as they wanted a spanish studio album. Based on how they handled Insomniac and his career after I don't think Enrique's mainstream English stuff is really a priority for them and the UK aside it's not like the album well enough that they would want to capitalise on it.

New song with Wisin y Yandel
Puerto Rican rappers Wisin y Yandel are releasing a reloaded version of their album La Revolucion with new versions of the songs from that album and they've returned the favour of Enrique featuring them on Lloro por Ti by giving him a large part in the new version of their hit Gracias a Ti. dJO3ajv3azE This version has hit latin radio and it's possible he may go out plugging the song with them.

"Can You Hear Me" Video
There's been no official word that it's happening but I've read elsewhere that it's on 4music countdown so it's a pretty safe bet that it will get some kind of uk release. Better late than never and at this stage I can't really see it doing that well particularly as the only promo will be likely be a performance of it at Capital FM's Summertime Ball (unless he's planning promo further down the line) but having a song out there that isn't something recycled with a video playing to every Enrique stereotype can only be a good thing.
