ABBA - Happy New Year

I just want to wish you all a happy new year! I am really excited about 2012 and I hope it will be a great year for all of us. Now, let's enjoy the best new year's song ever:

Joan Collins joins Downton Abbey?

According to British newspaper Daily Express, "Dynasty" soap goddess Joan Collins might show up in the third season of ITV's drama series "Downton Abbey", as the cousin of Maggie Smith's character Violet!

According to the newspaper, Collins is a huge fan of the show and has written on her Twitter page that she would love to join the upstairs, downstairs world of "Downton Abbey".

I know this is just a rumour so far, but I love both Joan Collins and "Downton Abbey", so I pray it's true! Wouldn't it be cool to see an Edwardian catfight?

Holly Valance is back!

Do you remember the Australian pop singer Holly Valance? She is best known for her 2002 single "Kiss Kiss", a cover of Tarkan's hit. I love both her pop albums, "Footprints" (2002) and "State Of Mind" (2003), and can't wait for Holly's brand new album, coming in 2012!

For more news on Holly, check out her official website and Twitter account. Here are some of her best known tracks:

So What - Christmas Is Calling

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope your holidays will be amazing. I think that the song "Christmas Is Calling" by Swedish pop duo So What is perfect for this occasion. It was released in 1989 and can be found on So What's debut album "Face Yourself".

In 2012, it's been one hundred years since the R.M.S. Titanic sank. The classic movies "Titanic" (1953) and "A Night To Remember" (1958) will be released on Blu-ray. I'm very excited about this and can't wait to see these masterpieces in high definition!

The Artist - Brand new silent movie

I'm really excited about the brand new silent movie "The Artist", directed by Michel Hazanavicius. I love movies about old Hollywood so I'm sure I'll love this one.

"Hollywood, 1927: As silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break."

Greta Garbo on Swedish banknotes

I'm so excited to hear that my idol, classic movie star Greta Garbo, will appear on the new banknotes here in Sweden. They will be introduced in 2014.

Garbo is a legend and she will live forever through her movies. I just wish that Ingrid Bergman would've been honoured too, but you can't have everything.

Do you love classic movies too?

I Am Divine

I can't wait to see the documentary "I Am Divine", coming next year! It tells the true story about the famous drag queen Divine. Check out the official website for more information about the documentary.

"We are beyond excited to present to you a brand new documentary about the most beautiful woman in the world... the filthiest person alive... the legendary, the outrageous, the one and only... DIVINE!"

Mariah Carey - Emotions

I love Mariah Carey. She has such an amazing voice. One of my favourite tracks is "Emotions" from 1991. This great pop track was written and produced by Mariah Carey, David Cole and Robert Clivillés.

In the end of the song you can hear Mariah's famous "whistle register". Amazing, huh?

Sebastian Karlsson - Sunday Morning

Swedish pop singer Sebastian Karlsson is back with a brand new single: "Sunday Morning". I was never a fan of his music (I hate acoustic pop) but this song is right up my alley. Sebastian, please, keep doing electropop! It suits you.

Steps are #1 on UK chart

I'm so happy about the Steps reunion! Even better, "The Ultimate Collection" is now number one on the official and iTunes album chart. Congratulations, Steps! Don't forget to order "The Ultimate Collection" now from Amazon or iTunes.

Jesper Jelse - Access All Areas

Do you remember the Swedish 80's pop duo So What? The lead singer, Jesper Jelse, has released a brand new solo song called "Access All Areas". I really like the song, it's quite 80's sounding.
