Congrats to The Sugababes ,Nokia and Wieden+Kennedy for Ad of The Day

Ad of the Day: Nokia
Wieden channels Lady Gaga in dancing-dolls video for the pink N8 phone By Emma Bazilian

• June 23 2011

Wieden + Kennedy London brought in director David Wilson to create a promo for Nokia's N8 phone, featuring dolls dancing to girl group Sugababes' song "Freedom." Wilson has had ample experience with high-concept music videos for bands like the Japanese Popstars, and it shows: The Nokia spot is a lot less Barbie than it is Lady Gaga.

As the video opens, we're introduced a harmless-looking doll with a cute blond flip. A few seconds later, the video cuts to a second doll, and things are clearly getting darker: This one is standing naked in a dilapidated room, covered in an eerily blowing white sheet. Next there's a pop-star-meets-Lady-Godiva doll reclining

provocatively on a pink deer (also naked, which seems to be a theme), and then our first doll again, who suddenly snaps her head around 180 degrees, Exorcist-style, as a thumping bass begins. At this point, it's clear this isn't your typical girly-girl affair, pink phone or not. Jump cuts take us from shot to shot of giant video-monitor-covered walls, Nokia-tattooed plastic skin, and dismembered doll legs—all slightly twisted and very sexually charged, despite (or maybe because of) the fact that these stars are really children's toys.
The dance sequences, for which Wieden hired actual choreographers, could give most pop stars a run for their money. In one particularly Gaga-esque bit, a trio of gyrating dolls shoot laser beams from their bras, which happen to be made of N8 phones held together with phone cord—perhaps an homage to the Queen of Pop's own pioneering of phone-chic in her "Telephone" video. The spot might not give us anything we haven't seen in a Lady Gaga video (even the music isn't far off), but it manages to capture the same dark yet fiercely feminine aesthetic that her work conveys. And for a mobile-phone ad starring a bunch of plastic toys, that's impressive.

Jade Tweets latest fittings are in designs by Hannah Marshall

JadeEwen : on the couch in the pjs.. :) not quite as glamorous as the styling session earlier.. dresses were Uh-mazing! lovin hannah marshall :)

Hannah Marshall is a British-born fashion designer, who has established a reputation through showing at London Fashion Week and being part of the Fashion East programme for emerging talent in the industry. She trained at Colchester, and graduated in 2003. She established her own label in 2007.
Whilst she has been credited with 'reinventing the little black dress', Marshall has drawn criticism from established journalists for being too pretentious in her designs and presentation, with Tim Blanks, a writer for Condé Nast, suggesting that her Spring 2011 show was "highfalutin in the extreme". Her focus has been on creating constructed yet feminine pieces.
Hannah Marshall’s work has been photographed by Nick Knight, RANKIN, and Hedi Slimane, and has been worn by Erin O’Connor, Alice Dellal, Florence Welch, Naomi Campbell, Kelly Osbourne, SKIN, Janet Jackson, Marina Diamandis, Rihanna, amongst others.

London Fashion Week AW10/11 - Hannah Marshall

Although I was sure velvet had had its day after the last few seasons, Alexander Wang's show in NY and now Hannah Marshall's are making me re-consider. Hailed as the Queen of Black, and rightly so, Hannah continued her body-con aesthetic, presenting a collection full of the tightest all-in-one playsuits and mini dresses. High necks and cut-out detailing were layered with sheer purple and blue under-garments, structured in a top-heavy silhouette. I found the beauty to be a really strong aspect of the show (something I seem to be consistently inspired by this LFW): hair bands covered the front part of the models' head - a modern potential update to the Prada turban. The lack of colour in the clothes was made-up by the shocking-blue glitter lips, also seen earlier in the day at Charlie le Mindu. The closing dress - a 3-D ring-binding encircling the body - showed a more avant-garde take on the black mini dress, which I hope to see more of next season.

Thanks to My Beautiful City

Sofeminine talk to Sugababe Heidi Range

We talk to Sugababe Heidi Range

Sofeminine talk to Sugababe Heidi Range Heidi Range: Looks like it's going to be a red hot summer Heidi Range is the longest standing member of the Sugababes and is one of the most down-to-earth girls in the music industry. And as some of the longest-standing Sugababe fans we were more than excited when we had the chance to catch up with her. She's recently teamed up with Gallo Family vineyards to launch Gallo Summer - a red wine that you can drink chilled. The Sugababe has made a bold statement too by dying her usually blonde locks a striking shade of red - rocking the red trend as championed by A-listers Rihanna and Blake Lively. We caught up with her to talk about her dramatic new red-hot look and find out how she chills out in between launching a new album and planning for her wedding to MTV presenter Dave Berry. You've always been a blonde bombshell - how do you feel about going red? Do you think you will stay red?I’ve had a lot of fun trying it and it’s a great vibrant look for the summer! What is your best kept beauty secret/best piece of beauty advice you'd pass on?Cleanse, tone, moisturise. When do you find yourself enjoying a glass of wine? With friends? Over dinner? Night out?You can’t beat al fresco dining with a glass of wine when the sun is shining! I also like to invite my friends round, get some music on and try on my favourite dresses whilst sharing a bottle of Gallo Summer Red. Sounds like fun! But what about down-time? How do you chill out?With friends outdoors and always with food! I love spending time in the garden so you would probably find me there. Heidi is rocking the red-head look © Gallo Do you have a signature dish that you cook really well?I do a great soup with chicken, barley and vegetables. It’s really healthy and fills you up! Where do you shop for your wardrobe?As you can tell I’m really into jump suits at the moment, especially the different printed and floral ones. I recently bought a jumpsuit from French Connection that can be dressed up or down. It looks great with a tight belt and high shoes. I’m also a massive fan of Ray Bans, so I'm going shopping to check out the new styles soon. What is next for the Sugababes?We’re currently recording our new album and we’re planning to release our first single from it in the next couple of months. We’re very excited for everyone to hear it. We’ve got lots of gigs coming up this summer - the dates will be announced on the Sugababes website, so keep your eyes peeled! Are you tempted by a solo career?We’re all happy. As time goes on, you all grow in different directions and want different things from life. We’re all enjoying it now and hopefully it’ll all carry on harmoniously. Heidi Range is launching Gallo Summer Red, the fruity and refreshing red wine from Gallo which is designed to be served chilled. For more information visit: www.gallosummerred.co.uk

SPOILER ALERT! Fatboy and Whitney eat fish and chips in Southend as it's rumoured an EastEnders favourite dies on the pier...

By Jody Thompson

Last updated at 10:52 AM on 22nd June 2011


It's not often that the residents of EastEnders escape the confines of Walford for a day out of E20 - and it seems that they're stringing out the forthcoming Southend storyline for as long as possible.

As previously reported by Mail Online, Whitney Dean is at the popular Essex seaside resort as the last scenes of her prostitution storyline are played out.

In scenes filmed yesterday, she is seen grabbing some fish and chips with her friend Fatboy, which they eat with a liberal helping of arguments as well as the more standard salt and vinegar.

Out of the frying pan: Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) and Fatboy (Ricky Norwood) were seen getting fish and chips in scenes being films for EastEnders in Southend yesterday

Carrying a large teddy - which Fatboy may have won for her at the funfair - and sporting neon pink fingernails, pink lined hoodie and leggings with trainers, Whitney does manage a smile however once they have finished their greasy meal.

Fatboy, played by Ricky Norwood, 23, and Whitney, played by Shona McGarty, 19, have been filming in Southend for a few weeks now.

They've been seen having a blazing row outside the B&B where they're staying but kissing and making up afterwards, and going on the rollercoaster at the funfair.

Drama: EastEnders has been filming in the Essex seaside town for a few weeks now in one of the soap's rare location shoots

A-salt and batter-y: The pair are seen rowing as they tuck into their greasy feast - while apparently Ryan Malloy meets a sticky end on the pier

Smiling again: After their seaside row and a tray of fried food, Whitney is seen smiling again as the prostitution storyline begins to finally wrap up

It appears that kind-hearted Fatboy has come to rescue his friend from falling into the clutches of evil Rob and being sexually exploited once more.

Whitney has been seen fighting off Rob once more as they walked along Southend seafront.

Meanwhile, rumours abound that Ryan Malloy is set for a dramatic exit from the Square which could be linked to scenes filmed on the town's pier which left a stuntman injured.

Emotional: The pair have filmed a few scenes of fighting and making up in the Southend storyline

Soap baddie: Whitney is seen in the clutches of evil pimp Rob (played by Jody Latham) again

Apparently, shortly after discovering that his sister Whitney had been sexually exploited, Ryan decides to track down her pimp Rob and finds him at the pier with Whitney.

In true EastEnders style a fight then breaks out between Ryan, played by Neil McDermott, 30, and Rob, played Jody Latham, 29, and they tussle on the pier.

Filming earlier this month almost ended in tragedy when a stunt went wrong.

On his way out: Ryan, left, played by Neil McDermott and seen with screen wife Janine, played by Charlie Brooks, is due to leave the show after the Southend plot

A 21-year-old stuntman, who was playing McDermott's double, is believed to have been blown off the pier and hit his head on rocks below.

A spokesperson for EastEnders later confirmed: 'We can confirm that a stuntman was injured. We all wish him a speedy recovery.'

Of the scenes between Ryan and Rob, an EastEnders source said: 'When he comes face to face with the man who pimped out his little sister he's not going to hold back.

'The scenes are going to be explosive. The fight ends with a dramatic cliff-hanger where viewers will be left wondering if either of them survives.'

Screen exit: Perhaps Ryan will be reunited offscreen with his former love Stacey (Lacey Turner) and their baby

Ryan joined the Albert Square cast in 2009 and has been involved in a series of hard-hitting storylines ever since.

A show spokesperson said that the decision for him to leave was made in December and was mutual.
