To say their debut album “Viva Machine” had been pending for a while, is an understatement. In fact, its planning goes back to 2003 when the band played under the name Iposfacto with tight, experimental tunes fitting in to an electro and alternative genre, before they ultimately changed to “Viva Machine”, after which they got really serious. Briefly heard on BBC Radio 1 with their song “My Jet Set Radio” and showing on The Guest List where they preformed “Earthquakers and Love Shakers” and "Robotbodyrox", they began to make their way up the music scene at a steady pace while persistently working on their debut and balancing multiple shows and tours.

Their influences range from Queens of the Stone age and Biffy Clyro to Radiohead and The Beach Boys and many others. Every once in a while, the dedication and this influence peeks out from behind the curtains of their individual style. And so happened “Viva Machine” which was released on June 15th, 2009. The album has 10 tracks, the first single being the band's earlier work, "Robotbodyrox” with the overall album including “Earthquakers and Love Shakers”, “Death Star Truckers” and “Futuristic Dracula”. The style of the lyrics is mind blowing, metaphoric and strangely gripping, with sometimes eerie vocals that fit unbelievably well, all of which is rare enough in today's music; complicated and interesting. Not to mention that the overall beats and rhythm will refuse to allow you to stand still.

With such hard work that has has finally paid off, there is reason for celebration. In name of “Viva Machine”'s debut and critical success, the band released a free MP3 of “Earthquakers and Love Shakers” on June, 8th(the music-video was released just a month before) for download on their official.site.
Though with no plans for a future tours or gigs, the band has been on constant, current interviews, most notably on Bethan Elfyn's show BBC Radio 1, with profiles on MySpace and YouTube. With or without performances from them, there is no doubt their album alone will keep us busy for a while jumping on our beds and screaming in to our hairbrushes...Haha, don't bother with trying to deny it!

This is a diffident turning point in luck and joy for Hudson who went through a tumultuous point in her life a year before when she lost her mother, brother and nephew, who had been shot dead in her home city of Chicago, Illinois. Hudson's sister, Julia's, husband, William Balfour has been charged with their murder. In this case, good things come out of the hardest times. From us fans to the beautiful Hudson, her fiancé and their new bundle of joy, we wish you all the best!

The star of Dreamgirls and former American Idol contestant, Jennifer Hudson, surprises the media and fans with the news of a baby that seemed to happen out of nowhere. The twenty seven year old Hudson and her fiancé David Otunga have been dodging media speculation of a possible pregnancy. Of course, who wouldn't try to dodge the very human disaster that is the media when in such a delicate position such as being on one's way to becoming parents? Finally they dished the dirt on Monday at a hospital in Los Angeles where David Daniel Otunga Jr was born at 7lbs. Aw!

By now, I'm sure everyone has had at least heard whispers of this amazing feat, still lets recap: In 2008, the dynamic Dutch fashion duo, Viktor & Rolf, once again baffled us with their creativity and originality, successfully demonstrating once again on what makes them and their partnership nothing short of legendary in the modern fashion world. The pair surprised and delighted us with news on their then-newest project which had taken in form of a giant dollhouse. The giant household contains 55 handmade porcelain dolls (each about 2 ft tall), chronicling some of the most interesting and vibrant designs by the two in the last fifteen years (starting from 1993). The outfits are meant to be exact replicas of each design at the time, from the model's hair style to the most delicate of details, all assorted by collection in each of the rooms.


The result? A spectacular dedication to fashion. But don't think this was any easier to pull of then an actual runway or the dresses. In fact, each minimized outfit took two times longer to put together then the full sized original. The dolls themselves were delicately crafted and hand-painted painstakingly to resemble their human counterparts. Creepy, yes. Over the top, absolutely. And purely Viktor & Rolf. 

In September of 2008, Viktor and Rolf were asked to promote this dollhouse masterpiece In London's (UK)own Barbican Art Gallery. The exhibition was an instant success. For those of you who are instantly inspired to check this out on your next glamerous trip to London, UK, read on: Is it still there? No. The dollhouse was relocated to, and to this day resides, in Utrecht, Netherlands. There hasn't been any news of it leaving any time soon, either. But lets all hope this crazy fashion phenomena decides to take another road trip in the near future for a display in a mesueum on this side of the world. So yeah...Viktor? Rolf? Hint hint, nudge nudge!
