Very good for chilling out: Dusty Kid with “Nemur”
The madness that is the Eurovision Song Contest is over for 2009, and I did have a fun night watching it with a couple of friends. However I can’t say I was impressed by the musical “œuvre”. Here’s a short rundown of the evening from Moscow:

A little something more dance-inclined for the weekend: David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland and “When Love Takes Over”.
If Dusty Springfield were still alive today, she’d probably sound a lot like Nicole Willis with “Feeling Free”:

I’m not a big fan of “Brunch with Bridget”, an interview vlog with Bridget McManus from Afterellen.com, but I am a fan of Lena Headey, so here’s the episode with a very cute Lena talking about gummi bears, directing and kissing Piper Perabo!

If you ask YouTube, that is. And if you find Peter Allen’s “I Go To Rio” there:

Because this awesome man is not only the creative mind behind “Nip/Tuck” and “Popular” but because he keeps on coming up with brilliant TV shows: evidence of this is “Glee” which, just judging by the trailer below, I will totally love! (What’s not to love when Jane Lynch is involved, really?)

Kelly Clarkson has a new album out, and while I wasn’t particularly thrilled by neither her last effort, “My December”, nor by the first single “My Life Would Suck Without You”, she has managed to win me back over with “All I Ever Wanted” (not quite with the album cover, though – my eyes, my eyes!).
Eliza Dushku is one of my favourite actresses – be it as Faith on “Buffy” & “Angel”, as Missy in “Bring It On”, as Tru in “Tru Calling” or the feisty daughter in “True Lies”. Alas also, let’s be honest here, in a lotta roles she can’t be very proud of (at least it was partly painfully to watch: “Soul Survivors”, anyone?). More importantly though, she can be caught on the small screen right now every week, as Echo in Joss Whedon’s new show “Dollhouse”.

In my ongoing quest to revel in anything British (well, not anything – also, Germany has its own tabloids already…), I have ordered the following books:

There is a town called Reading between Oxford and London, and everytime I pass it on the train, I keep wondering why the “Read” part is pronounced as in the past tense of the verb “to read” and not the present. Until now – because currently I’m reading “The Oxford History of Britain”, and they have a handy explanation: “Reading” means “the people of Reada” and stems from the Anglo-Saxon period of settlement of the British Isles, Reada being a ruler at the time. I know it’s only a little thing but I love it when seemingly meaningless things are suddenly explained logically!
I saw “Milk” a few days ago, the Oscar-nominated drama about Harvey Milk, first openly gay city council of San Francisco.
