There is more to come…
The New York Post reports Elton John, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and her hubby David Beckham went expensive shopping all together.
The three of them were spotted buying five-time-zone diamond watches, diamond dog tags and stud earrings at Jacob the Jeweler’s shop in New York City.
An unnamed onlooker said “They were checking out all the really expensive stuff. Like diamonds and stuff.”
Holly Valance was spotted just recently buying a whole load of VO5 shampoos and conditioners in London.
A source revealed that the sexy sheila loves that brand of shampoo.
“It’s only that she loves it so much. VO5 seems to do wonders for her hair and she loves the way it feels after a good wash.”
Former Spice Girl, the exclusive Victoria Beckham has gotten her breast size reduced apparently after deciding her chest was too big for her slim physique.
“Victoria has hardly told anyone about her operation but she had it done in the last couple of weeks,” a source close to the posh lady revealed.
“She’s still a bit tender but it was only minor surgery and she was up and about later that same day and was alright to fly to the US just days later.”
Remember IIO, who were formerly known as Vaiio? They’re New York-based producer Mark Moser and the sultry vocalist Nadia, who had one of the biggest dance tunes of the year with ‘Rapture’ back in 2001.
This “follow up” (if you want to call it that) has actually been around for more than half a year now, and was a huge bombastic hit in Miami so now it’s time for the Ibizan invaders to feel its steady groove.
In fact this is the stuff that goose pimples are made of, Nadia’s deliciously seductive vocals fluttering about a deep electro house groove and dreamy, but considerably funky, digital soundscapes.
Even celebritries are digging it. Ask the members of Liberty X, Ms Dynamite. Why, even Sir Elton John loves it. Jessica from Liberty X was quoted recently saying “You know what I love right now? The new one from Iio is simply divine. Such brilliant productions. Nadia, with that dude, makes a very strong dance outfit.”
Really, a gushing review doesn’t really do it enough justice. This is quite simply one of the must have dance numbers of 2003, so grab yourself a copy when it stores in England come 2nd of June.
Check out below the latest from Brian McKnight. It’s a collaboration with Nelly and critics have raved about this track in the US, saying that it’s really excellent.
Nelly recently told the press “It was a pleasure to work with Brian McKnight just because he’s really powerful with his excellent vocals and all that. Lovely end product by the way which I highly recommend to all.”

Just who is UK’s equivalent of Justin Timberlake?
A debate has been sparked and many are saying that if all go well, then Abs may very well be it.
Said one fan, “Justin bores me. Abs is better than the Trousersnake. How Justin has had so much success in the UK confuses me?! He was only ever famous as Britney’s boyfriend. His first single wasn’t a very strong song.”
And how does Abs feel being compared to Justin?
“Everything he does turns to gold,” he told a webzine. “He can’t do anything wrong. I’d love to have worked with the Neptunes like him, but people would just say that I was trying to be like Justin. But Justin does what Justin does and he does it well. I don’t look at people like him and wannabe like them. I do my own thing. I’ll just go off and do my thing and hope people like it.”
Well, luckily for Abs, people are loving and raving about his new single ‘Stop Sign’. It’s out in stores already so get one now.
