One day it’s hot and the next it’s not, so what’s going up and what’s going down right now?
Going up
Denise Welch
Since beating Frankie Cocozza to win Celebrity Big Brother against all the odds, Denise Welch is hot property. And if the Loose Women star ever decides to give up on the chat show we think a lucrative career as a bra model could follow. After all, that Compulsive Flashing Disorder should be put to good use!
Master Chef
If there’s one thing that goes well with food, then it’s a healthy dose of drama. Enter Master Chef. The part cookery show, part soap opera is back and better than ever. We’ve already seen a black forest gateau meltdown to match any Corrie storyline and it’s worth watching for weird crush Greg Wallace alone!
Lana Del Rey
The New York songstress is everywhere right now, which might have something to do with the release of her new album. When she’s not busy making her own music videos, applying lip gloss to that perfect pout and wooing us with her sultry voice, Miss Del Rey is to be found counting down the minutes to this summer’s Big Brother. We imagine.
Silence
Thanks in no small part to Oscar favorite The Artist, the silent movie trend is crossing over from silver screen to real life. Not talking is set to be the new talking, which means a whole lot more nodding, murmuring and listening to our friends and partners. If only.
Dancercise
When it comes to exercise why bother with spin classes or that strange phenomenon known as ‘jogging’, when you can dancercise in the comfort of your own home? Bands are queuing up to sell games online to get you dancing in front of the TV to their tunes. Abba have one, Black Eyed Peas have one and even Grease wants to be ‘the one that you want’ to dancercise with. Pardon the pun.
Going Down
Odd Couples
First it was Michael Jackson and Bubbles, then Shane Warne and Liz Hurley and finally it was the turn of Harry Styles and Caroline Flack to get us scratching our heads. Since the latter have now split, we can only see the odd couple thing heading in ‘One Direction’ (sorry), and that’s downward.
Spice Girls Reunion
We want it to happen and they want it to happen –
well, all except Victoria if the rumours are to be believed. Excitement replaced by disappointment all in the space of a quick long distance call to Beckham Towers. Please Posh, for the fans.
Staying Together
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Russell Brand and Katy Perry, Seal and Heidi Klum, and now rumours of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis splitting. It seems like staying together is going out of fashion quicker than MC Hammer pants.
Stuff
Stuff. Who needs it? Clutter is definitely on the way down. Ugly stacks of CDs and DVDs are disappearing thanks to Kindles, iPads and downloads. So, unless you want to follow that trajectory, sell DVDs online, upload those CDs and ditch the bookshelves. Now repeat, “Stuff is not the new black”.
The Celebrity Detox
Mmm. A strict diet of maple syrup, lemon juice, water and cayenne pepper; it’s enough to make your mouth water! Every celebrity seems to have their own favourite detox, whether its Demi Moore and her liquid only diet or Gwyneth Paltrow on a cucumber soupathon. It’s not for us; one less sugar in our tea should do the trick.
