*Yet another trashy celeb website destined to distract you from your studies, the abundance of which is truly the bane of my life. Egotastic.com is genuinely dedicated to hard-hitting journalistic issues, with headlines such as ‘Keira Knightly has a weird mouth, broken nose and horrible legs’ and ‘Sienna Miller has stretch marks and cellulite’. The favourite phrase on this website has to be ‘nipple slip’, referring to the assortment of pictures dedicated to side-boobs and nipple-flashes. These so-called nipple slips include those of Jennifer Aniston, Paris Hilton, and our very own Lizzy Hurley. But the most spectacular nipple-slip award has to go to the outrageously weird exposure of Kate Bosworth, whose nips are just bizarre (check it out). There is also an array of archives for the celeb-trash-hunter to pillage, including that of our favourite, the ever loveable Lindsey Lohan, which consists almost entirely of articles with the word ‘rehab’ in them: ‘Lindsey Lohan ditches rehab again’, ‘Lindsey Lohan plays rehab hookie’ etc. but at least the last article in her archive reassuringly doesn’t contain the aforementioned word; indeed, it simply reads: ‘Lindsay Lohan’s Liver is Fucked’. Egotastic.com really does provide celebrity news and gossip in gargantuan proportions, with numerous categories to search under including movies, music, celebrities and television. The definitive category though has to be ‘media files’ under which the heading ‘up skirt’ appears, which does exactly what it says on the tin. Yep, numerous pictures of celebs from a toddlers viewpoint, worth I cheeky peek. Lucy Reader *

Film Si fills you in on whats going on in his film infested mind
A common theme between tonight’s headliner and support act lies in their frontmen. Both bands are truly led from the front by instrumentless wordsmiths.
The final frontier for humanity,or a distraction from life on Earth?
Racist
It’s a matter of mere moments before the arrival of Explosions in the Sky to the stage and the atmosphere in the Astoria is incredible. As with many of their post-rock peers, here is a band that demand nothing short of sheer adoration from their fans.
This collaboration works. Sway’s tight-fitting rapping about charity, football and his rise to success all work with the intermittent Mr Hudson lyrics. The two musical styles merge well together, as the remix is underpinned by the backing of the original song, which is invigorated by Sway’s lyrics.
The Vagina Monologues: well, let’s just say I was pleasantly surprised. Thinking The Vagina Monologues was going to be full of feminists lecturing about women’s rights, I was initially apprehensive. As it turned out, I was entertained by the real-life experiences of several women and yes, you’ve guessed it, their vaginas.
Bursting out of the traps like a sprightly ‘Nu Rave’ greyhound is Gravity’s Rainbow. While the band might have since started a cult, popularised glow-sticks and revived indie-dance music, this re-released track is perhaps their finest moment, with thumping drums and a bass line to die for.
