Those of you who missed the second series of Skins who would like to watch the entire collection of ten episodes can from the 5th of May 2008.
Skins, the critically acclaimed British drama came back to our screens this year and began six months after Tony’s accident where he suffers from amnesia with no recollection of Sid or Michelle. Watch as emotions unfold as Tony slowly regains his memory. Whilst this happens the rest of the cast continue to endure drama that is just as chaotic and as much as I would love to say what happens I don’t want to give it away.

Leona Lewis really is a sensation. Not content with being the first female to score a US number one single since Kim Wilde 21 years ago, the X Factor winner has also nabbed the top of the US album charts with her debut disc Spirit. The album sold over 200,000 copies on its first week of release in the States, with the former number one Troubadour by George Gait selling a paltry 59,000 copies in comparison. Talk about blowing the competition away.
This new feat from the former receptionist sees her become the first British solo star to earn the Billboard top spot since Rod Stewart did so in 2006. Fancy another dazzling Leona statistic? How’s about that the album has shifted over 2.5 million copies internationally in the last six months. Congrats to Leona and her team for insuring some serious worldwide success for a young British starlet and to the X Factor for producing someone we can be proud of. Not much pressure for last season’s winner Leon Jackson, eh?

For those of you that have fond memories of John Fashanu shouting “awooga!” (what DID that mean?), Ulrika Jonsson flirting with the muscle men and the ‘scary’ Wolf barking at kids in the audience, its good news as Gladiators is returning! The TV show that proved popular Saturday night ITV entertainment back in the early 90s is being resurrected by Sky One with a whole new crop of gladiators and new challenges.
Over the course of the series due to start next month, 32 competitors will take on the mighty gladiators over a number of physical challenges with the eventual series winner walking away with £50,000 for their troubles. Sky One has already announced that another former footie star will be co-hosting, this time Ian Wright as accompanied by Kirsty Gallagher. The satellite station is solidly stepping up its promotion of the show, with this clip below a tasty teaser of all the sweaty combat that’s to come. So take a look and pick which toned behemoth you’re the most scared of and with names such as Tempest, Inferno and Spartan they’re really ramping up the fear factor!

It was the game we were all waiting for and since its UK release last Friday, Mario Kart Wii has become the the most successful first party Nintendo game ever. The game has also been crowned the eighth biggest launch ever in the UK, selling more than the other five Mario Wii games combined, knocking Gran Turismo 5: Prologue down the sales charts. Wow!
Mario Kart Wii sees the likes of long-time Nintendo staples such as Italian plumber Mario, his brother Luigi, Toad and Wario race one another in places such as volcanoes and like past versions, also includes a battle option where players combat one another. The game, which has been a firm favourite with fans of racing games for years, even harks back to its cherished past with races from former formats included in this latest incarnation.
Stocks are said to be low at many stores, so be quick to grab yourself a copy by ordering online from game.co.uk for £34.99.
It was all change at the top of the UK box office last weekend, with the Las Vegas gambling film 21 nabbing the top spot. The film, starring Kate Bosworth and Kevin Spacey, had performed well in the US and with over £1.6 million earned in three days, it’s repeating its success on this side of the pond as well. Katherine Heigl rom-com 27 Dresses fell to number three with feel-good Brit film Son of Rambow holding steady at the number two spot.
Despite plenty of press attention, George Clooney couldn’t inspire his sports comedy Leatherheads to the top, with the film coming in at a disappointing number six. Other new entries in the top ten include the Rolling Stones documentary Shine A Light at nine (the soundtrack is also performing well in the UK album charts) and the creepy Pathology starring Heroes tottie Milo Ventimiglia at number ten.

The range is typically quirky and interesting featuring zebra prints – though fear not, these mean patterns with zebras on NOT zebra-print patterns.

The range starts at £45 and is based on a colour palette of tangerine, lime, cobalt, raspberry, stone and black. For dressed down moments, there are silk vests and for more dressy occasions there are pretty dresses in a variety of styles including one-shoulder, shirt, button and appliqué).
