We dropped in on one of our Promising talents, De’Vide whilst they were performing in their home town.

After playing several big gigs in London and across the East of the country, De’vide returned to their roots, for an intimate gig for their local fans, and they did not disappoint.

De’vide has a sound that they describe as  crisp fusion of Hiphop, R&B, Indie and Soul with an acoustic Funk edge. …the band has two members Lexi Lex and Barney Holmes.

As expected they had the crowd on their feet,  performing some great R&B covers, and of course their debut single To &Fro. If you get the chance you should definately go and see these guys live!

We caught up with the boys after the show and they told us what they had been up to since we last spoke to them, and they have been pretty busy,  the band  have been featured on BBC radio 6, with Tom Robinson, and BBC Suffolk Introducing, after their debut track To & Fro was played on BBC1Xtra, the track was chosen as Homegrown download of the week, and in December they were placed on the long list for MTV’s BRAND NEW FOR 2012. This month they have had their debut play on BBC Norfolk Introducing.  The future is definitely looking exciting for these guys.  The band have just released their second studio track ‘Drive‘ and it’s avalable for download at the bottom of this page.   Some very exciting projects are scheduled for the next few months ahead, and we will bring you all the updates very soon.

“Phew! Thank **** that’s over,” , …… “I had a blast actually. It was by far my favourite of the three hosting stints.”  but he goes on, making it clear that he has no intention to return to the Golden Globe stage as the host   “I’ve told my agent to never let me be persuaded to do it again though,” he wrote. “It’s like a parachute jump.

An Auction on Ebay is said to selling water, that is allegedly from Tom Criuse‘s swimming pool,

The auction description reads;

‘There is a very limited supply of this special water. The  winning bidder will receive a 5×7 print of Tom swimming in the pool with Katie  Holmes by his side as a certificate of authenticity.

‘The bottle is hand painted and shows a cross to mimic the effect of a bottle of Holy Water. But this cross also bears four gold rays coming from behind, which can also be considered the symbol of Scientology.

‘Tom Cruise water can be used in rituals, potions, or perfumes. It can be  dabbed behind the ears or on the wrists for good luck. You can place some of it  around the hearth of your home  baptize your baby with it. The possibilities are endless.

‘Happy bidding!’

At last count, six people had bid.

The 110ml glass bottle was collected by a fan from a pool in Miami Beach,  Florida, on July 16 last summer.

So how far would you go to get a pice of celebrity culture, even if it is just water from their pool ? we all hear of celebrities auctioning off outfits or memorabilia for charitable causes, and the amount that has been spent is sometimes outrageous, but in the past some of the strangest things have been auctioned.  John Lennon’s TOOTH was auctioned off in November 2011 and went for a reported $30,000, but what is the buyer going to do with John Lennon’s, tooth ? and is it really worth that kind of money?

I guess some fans would go to great lengths to have a personal memento of their favorite star, but is it a step too far to purchase Scarlett Johansson used tissue? (in which she blew her nose) – which was sold for $2,075  to raise money for a good cause, or to be the proud owner of  Justin Bieber’s bangs, or left over breakfast?.

The Final straw in taking it too far must definitely be, the news that the ‘Death Bed’ of Michael Jackson – The King Of Pop –  will be auctioned off not to far in the distant future, how we ask ourselves can this item make anyone feel closer to the singer, or in any way moral?

we can all smile at the weird and wonderful array of items that have sold in the past, and see the passion in the people who buy them, but is a mans Death Bed, something that should be used to make a profit? and lets ask….who would actually buy it ?

Beauty Essentials_The Magic Of Water

Replenishing our skin and keeping it hydrated is essential, and you don’t need expensive replenishing cream to do so. Water is your miracle skin and body refresher, and here’s how and why.

Approximately 65% of our body is made up of water, it s the main ingredient of all your bodily fluids, but it really won’t take blood sweat and tears, to keep them all replenished.  Drinking throughout the day small amounts but often, is all you need to do, if you keep sipping then you are rehydrating.  Aim to drink at least 4 pints of good clean water a day, but it is important to pace it through the whole day, little and often is the key. It is not advisable to drink large amounts n one, 2 pints is the recommended maximum. And never drink more than 6 pints n a day.

The rewards of drinking water regularly is undeniable,

  • Better general health
  • clear brighter eyes
  • higher energy levels
  • brighter complection
  • reduced amount of spots and blemishes
  • reduction of bloating
  • improves blood flow and circulation

All this happens because water contains essential nutrients, and once consumed it is carried to every cell in your body, at the same time flushing toxins.

Dehydration itself causes stress on your body, and in turn causes further dehydration, so the obvious and simple answer is to keep sipping that water.
