DIVAS!!!

Advantages: GREAT READ
Disadvantages: NOTHING!

...Divas written by Rebecca Chance was published this year and is a great read. I have only recently read this book and i borrowed it from my local library and I can see from the inside it has been very popular! This Book is about a young beautiful woman named Evie Lopez, she started life as pole dancer and grabbed herself a sugar daddy. When she abandoned this career, she bought a swanky penthouse in the luxury Manhattan. Evie is a mistress to a young girl Lola's father and when her father falls into a coma and her stepmother controls everything. The stepmother 'Carin' eventually evicts Evie and steals her diamonds. Lola and Evie have to team up even though they are enemies to defeat Carin! This is a book of laughter and sadness. Rebecca Chance is such a brilliant writer she leaves you in suspense and I just wanted to read...

Review of Divas - Rebecca Chance

Diva-licious!

Advantages: Fun read, escapist read, well written, enjoyable
Disadvantages: None

...Lola Fitzgerald has a pretty charmed life. She has every designer piece of clothing she wants, holidays on tap and homes around the world courtesy of her rather rich father. But Lola's world is thrown into disarray when her father falls into a coma and Lola's stepmother Carin cuts off all of her funds immediately. Her situation gets worse when Lola discovers the existance of her father's mistress Evie Lopez, and her fiance is thrown into rehab for drug addiction. Lola wants back what is rightfully hers but she is forced to team up with Evie to catch Carin out and get her out of her life once and for all. "Divas" is the debut novel for Rebecca Chance, and she follows the line of great "bonkbuster" authors such as the Bagshawe sisters Louise and Tilly, Lulu Taylor, Jo Carnegie and Olivia Darling who have all embraced the gritty side...

Divas Las Vegas - Belinda Jones

Advantages: An OK read
Disadvantages: Dissappointing!!

... DIVAS LAS VEGAS BELINDA JONES I have always loved Belinda Jones books, and I have read near enough all of her books: I Love Capri, On The road to Mr Right, The Paradise Room, Out of the Blue, The Love Acadamy, Cafe Tropicana and now Divas Las Vega. The only book of hers I have left to read is The California Club (and the new book which she has coming out soon). I'm not quite sure where Divas Las Vegas comes in the line of her books, it could very possibly be one of, if not, her first book. I loved all of Jones' previous books, they have all been amazing, and have really captured my imagination, this book was very different and I must say, it isn't the best of her work. Plot: Izzy and Jamie have been best friends since they were little girls, for 20 years. And now at 27 they are still as close as ever...

Review of Divas Las Vegas - Belinda Jones

Viva La Diva

Advantages: some classic pop songs
Disadvantages: a couple of songs haven't dated brilliantly

...The Eurythmics were one of the most innovative and distinctive bands of the 1980's , producing hits like 'Sweet Dreams' and 'There Must Be An Angel Playing With My Heart' amongst their 9 Top 10 hits. Along with her partner Dave Stewart, Annie Lennox became one of British pop's most recognisable symbols of the 1980's with her ever changing hair and dress sense as well as one of the most respected vocalists of her generation. After Stewart married Bananarama and Shakespear's Sister star Siobhan Fahey, the Eurythmics split and Annie went about recording her first solo studio album. Three years later in 1992, she emerged with 'Diva', a collection of personal and raw songs rather than the synth-driven anthems that people had previously associated her with. Polished, but not over-produced, the album won her numerous awards including...

Review of Diva - Annie Lennox

The Diva Mentality

Advantages: A star studded experience
Disadvantages: Patti Labelle's infernal racket

...The VH1 Divas is hailed as one of the biggest musical concerts of the year and is advertised on television, radio and the internet for months before its transmission. Broadcast live in America and a few days later on Sky television here in the UK the event raises money for charities across the US, and this year its good cause was to bring music back to schools, a subject close to the heart of many of the performers appearing in the show. We were lucky enough to win tickets for the musical extravaganza this year and were flown over to Vegas by VH1 for five days with the concert being part of our wonderful few days away. Tickets were selling like hotcakes via the net and ranged in price from $75 to $150 so we counted ourselves lucky that we had the top priced ones clutched in our sweaty little hands on the night of the performance...

YOU-RHYTHMIC DIVA

Advantages: Nice easy listening
Disadvantages: A couple of weak links/not enough tracks

...daughter. The result was the release of her first solo album ?Diva?, which has received critical acclaim the world over. The album reached No. 1 in the UK album charts and deservedly stayed there for well over a year. So, the album itself includes:- WHY 4:54 ?How many times do I have to try to tell you That I?m sorry for the things I?ve done? This is a lovely soft soulful yearning love song. Somehow the messages contained in the lyrics remind me of the book ?Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus?. Simply because my perception of this song is that it?s all about how communication between men and women, more often than not lovers, is misunderstood and misconstrued. The instrumental reminds me of waterfalls, which is quite fitting because tears are mentioned! 9/10 WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS 4:13 ?Now every one of us was...

Review of Diva - Annie Lennox

I'm a eager beaver when I'm running for my Diva

Advantages: resourceful,glossy,cheap
Disadvantages: its monthly.

...Way a DIVAn?t kna like! I?ve been buying this magazine for 3 years now. (well my girlfriend has). I first came across it when I was left in her flat alone for the first time. Now I shouldn?t really admit to this, but I was snooping ?as you do?, I was in the middle of my snoop when I came across this magazine. Imagine my delight, when on the front cover I saw the most beautiful looking woman my eyes had ever come across. That was it, my hunt for any juicy items in my girlfriends flat had stopped, and there was I engrossed in a magazine. Now this is my magazine of choice, each month I pop into WH Smiths and buy it. 2.25 into the till, and with a funny look from the woman behind the counter I skip-no run out of the shop with a grin on my face. Why so excited?..I hear you say. Well my friends, Diva is a magazine edited by...

Review of Leighton Denny Diamond Diva

Viva Las Diva!

Advantages: Great to boogie to, some good classics, great value for money.
Disadvantages: One or two out of place songs.

...Overview: I bought the first Hairbrush Divas album for my Stepdad for Christmas - He likes people like Kylie, so he really wanted the album. There were some really good songs on it, but this album does have some of the older and better tracks on. Deciding between the two albums would be a difficult choice, as both of them have an equal amount of brilliant songs, but I think the first album has a slightly bigger 'sing your heart out' factor. Still, this album has some real classics such as Ladies Night, Lost in Music, If I Can't Have You etc, and is the kind of album you would put on whilst getting ready for a night out. It really gets you in the mood for a good ol' boogie, and I can guarantee that you'll be singing into your hairbrush and dancing on the bed before you know it. Just don't blame me if you're late out! Track Listing...

Review of Hairbrush Divas Vol.2 (Music You Just Have To Sing Along To) - Various Artists

Not a Diva but I try hard!

Advantages: A good mix of styles stops it feeling stale
Disadvantages: We are hoarse in our house!

...My daughter has recently been going to a summer club and has become more passionate about listening to music as each week has gone on. As a treat, I took her shopping and let her choose a treat for herself. Not surprisingly, we headed to the nearest music store, and left an agonizing 20 minutes later with this CD, ?Hairbrush Divas 2?. She made me read the track listing on countless CD?s, but this was the one which had her most excited. That was 1 week ago, and I think we have now listened to the CD at least 3 times every single day, so I feel I am more than qualified to review it! The CD has a mix of styles and eras, and even the choosiest listener will find at least one song which they can listen to, so it is ideal if you are having a few people around as most of them will be happy with the choice of music at some point during the night...
