Vampire Maddness!!!

Hey all,
Hope you had a great Bank Holiday weekend!! Since next weekend is Halloween and all I feel this topic is very appropriate….
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last year you will have noticed how the world has gone Vampire mad!! Back in the day it was just poor little Buffy who had to fight off all the demons but now it seems this Vampire craze is taking over not only our cinema screens but also our televisions!! From the huge success of ‘Twilight’ to HBO’s ‘True Blood’ to ‘The Vampire’s Assistant’ there is just no running away from it!!
The newest series in town is CW’s ‘The Vampire Diaries’ which has been shown state side since early September and is based on a book series written by L.J Smith. It has gotten huge ratings so far and to be honest with the seriously hot cast it is not surprising!!!
It will air this side of the water early 2010 but if you’re like me and cannot wait that long I will definitely have to watch it online!!



Below is a link to the official website of the series check it out and let me know what you think!!! http://www.cwtv.com/shows/the-vampire-diaries


Oh by the way according to sources ‘The Vampire Diaries’ blew Melrose Place out of the water with its ratings so poor Ashlee Simpson got the boot!!! The producers of Melrose place are hoping the return of Heather Locklear will get the ratings back up!!

MONDAY 19TH OCTOBER

We had a great laugh this week on Girls Talk Back. We also want to say that we will miss Nicole so much when she goes on her travels. She has left me in the safe hands of Susan Ryan and Jennifer Drennan from here on in. Nobody is safe!!!!! Thanks to Nicole for all her hard work on the show. Please think of us when you are on a sunny hot beach! We wish you all the luck and hope you will come back to us soon!

First up on the show we were serious for about 10 minutes! We discussed an issue making headlines at the moment. 'Should the morning after pill be available over the counter' like it is in the rest of Europe?. Well we talked to Dr. Catriona Henchion, the medical director of the Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA). Catriona was in favour of the morning after pill being available over the counter as this would speed up the waiting time for the many women who choose to take the morning after pill, rather than having to book an appointment and see a doctor first.

Girls Talk Back then had the honor of having the extremely talented and the most in demand music and fashion photographer in the country, Lili Forberg in the GTB studio. She was joined by her close collegue, the inspiring Fashion Editor of STELLAR magazine, Corina Gaffey. It was a pleasure to have these two young ambitious and successful women in the GTB studio. STELLAR has recently celebrated its 1st Birthday so the girls invited the GTB crew out to celebrate with them. GTB lurve a party! What's even more exciting is that STELLAR is only TWO EURO. GTB can cofirm that it's in fact the best mag out there. EVER. Thanks to Corina and all of the clothes used in the fashion shoots are affordable and high street!! Happy days!  This duo will also be hosting a night in the Spy Bar in town this Halloween night so get your glad rags on and get down tp Spy as Lili will be on the scout for all those Irish beauties waiting to be discovered. You may not recognize her though as she may be disguised as LADY GAGA! Yes you heard it here first! If you can't make Halloween night, don't panic ppl as the girls host a night in Spy once a month called GOSSIP. Yes I think us GTB will fit in just perfectly there!

Lili had the chance to photograph the 5 Boyzone lads, saying they were her easiest clients to work with and a shoot that she will always remember. Out of everyone in this world to photograph, Lili chose Simon Cowell!! She defo gets the thumbs up and a nod from GTB for that one. Perhaps he could model the Irish Flag for the shoot! We think it would look well on him!

Lili is a busy lady with many projects in the pipe line. One happening project that she is involved in at the moment is called giveitatwist.ie. CHECK IT OUT PPL It's a photography competition which encourages people to capture images from their everyday life, but with a twist. This project is all in association with Miller Genuine Draft as they have launched a new twist top bottle in Ireland. Thank God for that, no more broken teeth!!

The Girls were so much fun to have on the show. We can't wait to have them back on soon. If you want to contact Lili Forberg, she has her own website which is http://www.misslili.net/. GTB defo picked up some life long fashion tips from this power duo! Get down to Spy Bar this Halloween to see these girls in action, we hear they may even have a spin of the decks. Clearly no end to their talents!

Finally we had our GTB hero, Jennifer D who filled us in on celeb ville. Lady GaGa and Beyonce? In a music video? Together?! Weirdest combo ever. You heard it here first! GTB is never complete without our Jennifer D and some X FACTOR gossip, hot off the griddle. Have a fantabulous Bank Holiday weekend and see you on Monday 2nd November for some more madness in the GTB studio!!

There's a new couple in town!!!

It seems Victoria Beckhams ‘BFF’ Eva Longoria is following in her foot steps by becoming the face of a clothing brand with her sporting husband Tony Parker by her side!!
The star couple are the new faces of London Fog and my god do they look good together!! The Desperate Housewife and NBA player get very cosy in London Fog’s new outerwear and accessories collection.
Eva had this to say about the whole experience '“London Fog is always classy and beautiful, and we knew we were in good hands for the campaign.”

You will be able to see the ad campaign from December onwards in most fashion magazines. But of course we here at ‘GTB’ couldn’t resist giving you a sneak peek and we are very impressed indeed….

Enjoy

Hugely disappointment in Rihanna new single!!!

So yesterday we showed you HOT pictures of Rihanna shooting her new music video which to be honest are a lot more exciting than the single itself!!!

Her new single called Russian roulette just isn’t up to her usual standards and definitely shouldn’t be the first single of her new album which hits stores mid November!! We can’t blame everything on her though as the song was written by Neyo!

Have a listen to the song and let us know are GTB being too harsh on Ms RiRi??

Sneak Peak of RiRi's new music video!!!

It looks as though Rihanna is coming back with a bang!! She was spotted making her music video for her new single which is believed to be debuted on Good Morning America!! From these pictures it is obvious she is going to seriously rock it!!! Nothing seems to stop this girl from having success!

The new Faces of Armani!!!!

Hi all,

It is official the Beautiful Beckhams have decided to call it a day and not renew their lucrative contract as the face of Armani underwear! Not surprising really that the seductive/slutty actress Megan Fox will be taking the place of Victoria for the Armani 2010 campaign while last month footballer Christiano Ronaldo took over from David!!

Armani revealed yesterday that the actress will take over their Emporio Armani Underwear campaign in 2010, where she will grace magazines and billboards all over the world!! Could you even imagine her workout routine to the run up to these photo shoots…my god!!

Also revealed was that Megan will be doing the Armani Jeans campaign!!!
Now unlike the Beckhams there has been nothing said about the two stars joining forces for this campaign but we here at GirlsTalkBack think that would be one hell of a photo shoot, and if these two famous faces can’t increase the sale of Armani’s underwear line we don’t know what will!!!


Talk soon

Make-up Artist Natalie Kinsella

From Christina Aguilera to the beautiful Helena Christensen, Natalie has painted some of the biggest names in the business! A member of the Mac Pro team the lovely Natalie chatted to us about current trends and insider tips. A question we really wanted answered was the whole False eyelash business...is it a Yay or a Nay? Natalie says Heck YAY! She feels it's an excellent method to get that feline slant to the eye. Her top tip is to get the strip lashes and cut into sections, then apply the shorter sections to the outside of the eye...hey presto beautifully defined and most importantly natural-esque lashes!

Then of course we reached that complex topic of  Foundation...do we really have to fork out €30 for a bottle of the best brand hydro, luminosity blah blah....once again like a breath of fresh air Natalie tells us No! It's entirely up to the person if you can get a pharmacy foundation that works for you and suits your skin tone go for it! Its not always a case of the label is better. Now people I won't lie I am an avid fan of Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk foundation...a little bottle of genius! But is it my sensitive skin or a love of branding that has stolen my heart?......Well there's no time like a recession to find its pharmacy cousin!

If you have a big event coming up and would like a beautiful on trend look or maybe just a consultation to get to know the best products for you, contact Natalie

The truth behind the death of Boyzone's Stephen Gately....

Hey All,

It has finally been revealed that the post mortem results for Stephen Gately show that the Irish singer died from natural causes. Court Officials have stated that the young star suffered from a ‘pulmonary oedema’ which is an ‘accumulation of fluid on the lungs’. This also does not prevent the fact that the singer may have in fact choked on his own vomit while sleeping. Fluid from Stephens lungs has been sent away to forensic laboratory in Barcelona for further examination.


The court has agreed to allow Stephens family to take his body back to Dublin where they can lay him to rest.A court official has also stated that the investigation into Stephens’s death will still continue and both Stephens husband Andrew Cowles and Bulgarian Georgi Dochev who went back to the singers home on the night in question are still seen as official witnesses.

The Gately family adviser Gerald Keane has stated '"The family's only wish is to get their son and brother home as soon as possible'

Tragic death of Irish pop singer Stephen Gately...

The sudden death of Boyzone singer Stephen Gately at the age of just 33 has shocked the nation. It is believed the singer was found dead at a luxury holiday home in Spain after a long night of partying. He was on holidays with his partner Andrew Cowles who he married in a civil union back in 2006.

A Source from the scene has spoken about how it does not look like a suicide attempt and how there was no evidence of excessive drug or alcohol abuse. It is believed that even though Stephen was very young he could have had a heart attack.

The four other members of Boyzone have flown out today to the Spanish island.

Tune in at 1.40pm tomorrow to GirlsTalkBack on 103.2 fm to hear the full story surrounding the shocking death of Irish singer Stephen Gately.

Monday fix of Girls Talk Back

We had such fun on the show today. I had some slight pronunciation difficulties at times but Nicole was there to save the day and correct my spelling mistakes!! 

We were speaking to Ashman from 3rd World Records on today's show. They got it pomping on today's show with their new single, 'Get it pumping'. You may have recognised these guys from last years RTÉ's 'All Ireland Talent show. The guys have been playing all around Ireland since their appearance on the show. Ireland needs a rap duo like these guys. Check out their new tune at http://www.myspace.com/thirdworldrecords1. You can also see the guys play at the upcoming Carlow African film festival. GTB are big fans of 3rd World Records, loving their new tune and plan on taking some rap lessons off this duo!!!

 We had the pleasure of speaking to Laura Ziepe who had the most ingenious idea that GTB have ever heard of. EVER!!! Laura is the creator of www.mycelebritydress.com where you can log and hire designer dresses that all the celebs are spotted out wearing. GTB are defo going to be availing of this service. No more wearing old clothes that we have all worn 10 times before.

Having been well established here on the Irish music scene since 2005, they have achieved huge success with their debut album 'Achieving Vagueness'. They have recently played Electric picnic and the renowned Glastonbury festival. Yes girls, they certainly are a big deal!
