Fight Cervical Cancer In Style - What A Night!!

Wednesday night saw the Fight Cervical Cancer In Style campaign at Camden's KoKo. The event, taking place in European Cervical Cancer Prevention Week, saw performances by the Sugababes, Pixie Lott, Paloma Faith and La Roux, and was attended by Liz McClarnon, Emily Atack, Rachel Christie and Prime Ministers Wife Sarah Brown.


The campaign aims to increase awareness of Cervical Cancer and is supported by Jo's Trust, the UK's only charity which is dedicated to Cervical Cancer. Caused by the HPV virus, almost 3 women die of cervical cancer every day in the UK alone.


Sarah Brown gave an emotional speech to the audience of 800 girls, who were also treated to great performances including the Sugababes, who performed their fantastic new single 'Wear My Kiss'.

Hosted by Lauren Laverne, the event will be shown on T4 and 4Music on Saturday 6th February.

John and Edward.

Six months ago, they were the two annoying kids from X-Factor. Now, they're still the two annoying kids, but have somehow managed to win the public over!!

Girls everywhere have fallen for the big haired Irish twins and there *ahem* lovely singing voices! Debut single "Under Pressure" is released on download on 31st January, with the CD being released 15th February, and the twins are celebrating by performing at G-A-Y on Saturday night!

So make sure you get down there and get the crave!! Heaven can be found in The Arches between Charing Cross Station and Embankment and if you are going to get the crave head to Craven Passage for some twin action!

And don't forget you can also catch JEdward at Habbo Hotel (www.habbo.co.uk)! If you fancy going down to get the crave, it's 55 New Oxford Street!!

POP-Rocktic showcase!!


If there is one thing a craven loves as much as the crave, its discovering the bands before they hit the big time! Then when they have made it, you can always say you knew them first!!

Pop-rocktic has been running a few years now at various London haunts, and showcases the best in new talent that London has to give! Its also attracted a fair few famous faces through its doors as well including JLS, Mikey Graham and N-Dubz.

The next event will be on Tuesday 2nd February at Embassy in London, and will be hosted by Darnell Swallow!!

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=272096557550&ref=ts for more information. Tickets are available from jomacmusic@yahoo.com

Acts performing are...

EDEN http://www.myspace.com/edenexclusive
ELECTRALYTES
http://www.myspace.com/electralytes
FLEUR DE LIS http://www.myspace.com/fleurdeliswindmill
RHEA http://www.myspace.com/officialrhea



So, over the past few weeks, Celebs have been going to the Theatre constantly!! But what do they do when they're not watching a show? By all accounts, its appear in one! So where is everyone?

Here is a list of what shows you can get the crave at!


Jason Donovan is still starring in Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
Phil Jupitus, Belinda Carlisle and Verity Rushworth are in Hairspray
Aaron Renfree is a swing in We Will Rock You
Ian McKellen and Matthew Kelly star in Waiting for Godot
Sheriden Smith, Duncan James, Peter Davison and Susan McFadden are in Legally Blonde
Noel Sullivan and Toby Anstis(!?!) are in Grease

And if that isn't enough for you, there's going to be a Reality TV explosion in the cast change at Wicked with Cassie Compton(X-Factor), Rachel Tucker(I'd Do Anything) and Lee Mead(Any Dream Will Do) all taking lead roles from 10th May.

Haiti Single - Mugshot Alert!!!

We love a good cause here at Craven Gossip, and let's face it, the Haiti single is definitely one of those!

But one thing we love as much as a good cause, is the opportunity to laugh at celebs doing what they do best, posing for photos! The photo's that have been released of the stars in the studio, have got to be some of the best 'pretending to sing' photo's we've ever seen!

Look at Marvin from JLS as he feels the music, look at the sincerity on Cheryl's face, look at Mika as he sings like he means. Priceless.

Who do you think has the best fake sing voice?

This exciting event will take place on Friday 5th February 2010 12pm.

The Last Station Premiere


Those who aren't at tonight's Southbank Show Awards, may be across town at "The Last Station" premiere. Helen Mirren, James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff who all star in the film, all walked down the red carper tonight!

Southbank Awards!

Well, it was a crave, a crave that anyone over the age of 40 would have loved(so quite a few of the cravens that were there then).

The Southbank Show Awards were held tonight in London, held at the Dorchester Hotel. Fans waited around and got to see the likes of Ronnie Wood, Michael Ball, Lulu, Rob Brydon, Arlene Phillips, John Hurt, Jason Donovan and Melvyn Bragg. However, it wasn't a total golden oldie affair!!

Rachel Stevens, Will Young, Sophie Ellis Bextor, James Corden, Peaches Geldof and... er.... John Simm are flying the flag for the younger generation!!

Previewed at the awards will be the follow up to "Phantom Of The Opera", Lloyd Webbers "Love Never Dies"


Here at Craven Gossip we were massive S Club Juniors / 8 fans, and now we're massive Saturdays fans! With their catchy tunes, great style, and of course Frankie and Rochelle, what's not to love!?

But what's happened to the other 6 members? What do they look like now and what do they do?

Well never fear, Craven Gossip is here!

Stacey McClean auditioned for X Factor 2009! She made it through to the judges houses, but Dannii sent her home.... Boo!!

Daisy Evans is in new girl group From Above. They've been signed and have been recording material in the good old US of A.

Hannah Richings took part in Miss Teen Queen 2007 but aside from that, she's been the quietest of them all!

Jay Asforis is in new band Perspex Boxes, currently gigging in London. There is no truth in the rumour that Jay is in fact Chipmunk!

Calvin Goldspink starred in US drama 'Life Is Wild' - think a US version of Wild At Heart. He is now recording solo material in LA.

Aaron Renfree is now a professional dancer and works in the West End, starring in Smash hit Musical 'We Will Rock You'

Looks wise... wow, they've all grown up, well, aside from Jay who looks exactly the same but taller!

What do you all think?

Invictus Premiere - This Sunday


Lets not forget the UK premiere of Matt Damon's new film INVICTUS taking place this Sunday 31st January.

Starring Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood, it's going to be a crave-fest so make sure you get all your press photo's ready!! Anyone who gets a photo of the Matt Damon puppet from Team America signed will win Top Craven! In fact, lets all just shout Matt Damon at him!!

Haiti single - Celeb fest!!


So, we all know by now that Simon Cowell is recording REM's Everybody Hurts for victims of the Haiti Earthquake, and it seems that everyone who is anyone is trying to get involved.

So far Leona Lewis, Susan Boyle, Alexandra Burke, and JLS(I see a pattern forming here already) have all recorded there vocals, and the list of names floating around includes James Blunt(will anyone notice?), Michael Buble(he hasn't met you yet), Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga(ohh lala), Elton John(toupee or not toupee, that is the question), and Beyonce Knowles to name just a few!

There's even a rumour that it will see the long awaited reunion of Robbie and Take That...

As yet, there is no firm release date, but Mr Cowell knows the sooner, the better!

One things for sure, if Top Of The Pops was still on, it'd be one helluva crave!!

Plastic Fantastic?


Earhquakes in Haiti, Wars in Afghanistan, but the real news on everyone's lips(quite literally) yesterday was "Has Cheryl Cole had work done on her lips?"

This photo of Cheryl, taken at Heathrow on Sunday(missed that crave didn't you!?), shows her lips looking slightly different. Now to us it looks like she's overdone the lipgloss, but the general feeling is she has had work done!



Cheryl, you look great as it is, lets make sure you don't end up like plastic surgery obsessed Heidi Montag ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y97VvzKaNpA&feature=PlayList&p=879BD7865D4CA543&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1
)
What do you all think?

In the meantime, take a look at these celebs, all of whom appear to have taken the plastic look one step too far!

So, it's about time we had another Johnny Depp crave up! ALICE IN WONDERLAND is sure to be that crave!

Being a Tim Burton Film, it not only stars Johnny Depp, but Helena Bonham Carter as well (shocker I know!).

It looks like its going to be a crave up with Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, Crispin Glover, Anne Hathaway, Stephen Fry, Christopher Lee, Michael Sheen, Alan Rickman, Matt Lucas, Timothy Spall, Barbara Windsor, Paul Whitehouse and all the usual suspects!

The premiere takes place on Thursday 25th February at the (you guessed it) Odeon, Leicester Square, and is set to be a big one!!

Look out for the Depp fan with his camping chair!

Craven Gossip

Valentine's Day - Crave-fest!!

So if all the cast for this film turned up, it would be the biggest premiere crave ever!!!

Valentine's Day stars *deep breath*

JESSICA ALBA(yummy mummy), KATHY BATES(unsinkable), JESSICA BIEL(ex Ms Timberlake), BRADLEY COOPER(yes please), PATRICK DEMPSEY(Dr yummy), JAMIE FOXX(smarmy and smug), JENNIFER GARNER(alias Mrs Affleck), TOPHER GRACE(70's Venom), ANNE HATHAWAY(fashion princess), ASHTON KUTCHER(lost his car), QUEEN LATIFAH(big momma), TAYLOR LAUTNER(some werewolf film), EMMA ROBERTS(wild dog lover), JULIA ROBERTS(lippy), AND TAYLOR SWIFT(Kanye's mate)

However, the chances of this lot turning up at the premiere are unthinkable! Plus imagine the folder of press photo's we'd all have to get take with us!?!? Stressage!! Luckily, the chances are only a couple of these will be attending, so no such stress!

The Premiere will take place on February 11th at the Odeon Leicester Square, so just before Valentines Day, so get your roses ready! Crave on!

Craven Gossip does NOT take responsibility for any cravens having their Roses ignored and the shame that will follow!!
