Stuart Wilks revealed: "When I first started teaching Danny, when he was 12, he was just an average kid.

"The reason he's done so well is all down to his hard work and I know that's true of Liam as well."

Alex Wotherspoon

As I sit here watching The Apprentice, I decided to post a bit more about Alex Wotherspoon, actually I mean some pictures that are not that widely published.

alex wotherspoon2

Age: 24
Career: Regional Sales Manager
Qualifications: BA Managerial Administrative Studies at Aston Business School

Alex claims his 'communication skills are second to none'.

Freeloaders and social loafers annoy Alex, who boxes and ballroom dances in his free time.

His first job was selling horse manure with his brother to make enough money to go travelling to the Greek Isles for a month. They later expanded the business supplying to garden centres.

Alex is incredibly accident prone - he has punctured a lung, broken ribs, shattered his knuckles, severed his voice box, broken fingers and dislocated his jaw.
He says: “I give 100% all the way. I always speak my mind.”

William Moseley / Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian

With the release of The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian I am going to focus on the star.  William Moseley

william moseley5william moseley 2

Prince Caspian, like the first Chronicles of Narnia, is visually stunning – from the locations where the movie was filmed, to the sets, to the costuming.  The actors and actresses, musical scores, and Aslan's voice all contribute to the continuity.  The four Pevensie children have been back in London a year in the story-line, and while the younger two children have matured, you get the sense you've just left them at the end of the last movie.

Andrew Adamson, the writer and director said in an interview, “This film is probably a little darker and grittier than the last one, partly because the children are older, making the story more adult in nature.”  This also comes through in the movie dialogue where the dwarf Trumpkin warns Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy “You may find Narnia a more savage place than you remember.”

William Peter Moseley (born April 27, 1987) is an English actor. He is best known for starring as Peter Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia film series. Previously, he played a small role as Forrester in a 2002 television version of Goodbye, Mr. Chips.

Moseley was born in Sheepscombe, Gloucestershire, England in the Cotswolds. He has wanted to become an actor since he was ten years old. William is the oldest of three children. He has two younger siblings called Ben 1992 and Daisy 1989.William attended Wycliffe College and Marling School in Stroud.

David Beckham

I haven't actually covered David Beckham yet, probably because everyone else does and I don't follow the crowd.  However by request, here's David Beckham.

Supernatural Season 4 and 5? Jensen Ackles / Jared Padalecki

My favourite subject of course is Supernatural.  So lets chat about the future.  Well Season 3 is still being shown in most countries, but its getting to the end of the Season in the US, so that means Season 4 is being talked about.

supernatural pic03

The CW recently gave Supernatural an early renewal, which means Season 4 has been confirmed and will be filmed ready for a late 2008 / Early 2009 Release, way to early to confirm dates yet.

 Supernatural 2x20 0196

As for Season 5 of Supernatural. Eric Kripke has said “Yes, there is certainly more to explore,” Kripke said.  “But we sort of have this five-year map.  And Jared and Jensen like the idea of a five-year map because we work them so hard.  It's possible, but I don't know…But a lot of these issues are beyond my control at the corporate level with ratings, etc.  But my personal feeling is that I still want to go out in year five.  It's better to go out strong and on top than to be 8 or 9 years into a piece of sh*t.  You want conclusions… you want to end it.  It's an epic story and epic stories deserve a good ending.”

Exclusive Interview : DJ Scotty Thomson

5C7U8881 copy

1.   Your not a typical DJ, you said about yourself 'I sometimes spin in a Speedo', You also have a varied taste in music, do you feel because your not a 'typical' DJ that you can be more daring with your music than most other DJ's tend to ?

Absolutely, and that has been a goal of mine.  I strive to bring uniqueness to my sets.  I like to show people that DJ'ing is more than just playing songs.  I think that mixing different music and introducing varying genre's makes the party interesting, exciting and inspiring.  At this point in my career, I think that people come to expect these "curveballs" in my sets.  The whole speedo thing has been blown way out of proportion because of the many photo shoots I've done.  Yet, at the same time I like for people to hear my message that I like to take risks and I'm not a reclusive DJ.

2. One thing I always ask, so I'm getting it out of the way early in the interview.  Do you have any pets?  If so what are they?  If you don't, what would you like?

Yes, I do.  Actually, I'm glad you asked, because I'm slightly obsessed with my pet(s).  I guess they are not traditional pets, but I have a salt water aquarium.  Not just fish, but corals, anemones, crabs, snails and clams.  In a few days I'm purchasing an Octopus.

3.  Where do you see your career taking you?  Big European DJ's tend to hit the same sort of circuit in Europe, i.e ibiza, holland etc,  Is that something you would like to do?  Or do you have other plans for your career progression?

I try not to speculate.  My focus is on becoming the best DJ I can possibly be.  I try to limit my appearances to parties where I think my sound will be widely accepted.  Obviously, for job security, I hope to secure more and more regular appearances.  Europe is a big focus of mine.  The party scene over there is still exploding and I believe that the European crowds are more accepting and open to edgy DJ's like myself.  Beyond that I'm working on the production aspect and I'm hoping to start a label which features gay DJ's who "think outside the box".

4.  Where is the most exciting place you have ever performed?  and why?

I have to say that DJ'ing in Brazil is my favorite.  They have an energy that is exciting and inspiring.  I've played in Rio many times and always absolutely LOVE that city.  Yet, now that I've played in other cities like Sao Paulo and Brasilia, I find that the energy is the same all over the country.  It reminds me of when I first started going out in NYC in the 90's.  Although, I have to say that Moscow was pretty damn exciting as well ;-)

clip_image001[8]

5.  If you were given the choice of DJ'ing anywhere in the world, where would you want to DJ?

Excluding places I've already been to...I'm dying to spin in Berlin

6.  Lot's of people doing a 9-5 job get bored with the same old thing, as a DJ, even though it has to be more exciting that a typical office or shop job, do you ever get them 'I don't feel like working today' days?

Absolutely...in fact, some days I miss my corporate career.  Most of the time 9to5 is very cut and dry. When you leave the office, you can forget about work.  For a DJ the pressure is 24/7.  I'm always worrying about my upcoming shows, prospective gigs, money and the hours I have to spend finding new music.  Even though I travel to many exotic and exciting places, sometimes I need a vacation from what many perceive as the wonderful, playboy kind of life that a DJ leads.  Next week I'm taking my boyfriend to the Cayman Islands.  It may sound strange, but I can't wait to check into my flight without my records and CD's.

clip_image001clip_image001[5]

7.  Have you ever come on to do a DJ set after a DJ who is obviously not that good?  If so how did you get the crowd worked up so they forget the previous DJ and just enjoyed you?

Yes, that has happened many times.  It's quite overwhelming, because many people don't pay attention to when the DJ's switch.  They just assume that it's the one DJ on the flyer.  Therefore, I always try to create some sort of dramatic break so everyone looks up and says..OK here we go for the real party!!!

Thank you for taking the time to answer these few questions.  Anything you want to say to your fans, while your here!

Looking forward to seeing you into the distant future!!!
