SO X Factor's over and Dancing On Ice has yet to start and we need something to vote on. Just as well then that Celebrity Big Brother is just around the corner.
Yes on Sunday night the Elstree house will open its doors to a new gang of famous housemates and with this being the last ever series the producers are claiming it will be the best yet.
But will it?
The house certainly looks like no other BB house we have ever seen before - apparently it is modelled on Dante's Inferno (yeah, that reference will really resonate with the average BB viewer won't it?).

SO are you planning to take that Christmas present back already or do you know that you man will get your the perfect gift.
According to a new survey nearly half of us are happy to take a present back to the shops in secret for a refund if it does not come up to scratch.

It's all about high-octane glamour as the likes of Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and Kate Hudson turn up the sex appeal in highly-anticipated musical, Nine (out on Boxing Day).
Kerry Warn, the stylist Nicole Kidman refers to as, "the best hairdresser in the world", created the show-stopping Sixties look for her character, Claudia.

I HATE to be the bearer of bad tidings but feast your eyes on this picture as it may be your last chance to admire the finely-honed physique of our favourite 007.
Daniel Craig has said he plans to keep his clothes on in the next Bond film so there is unlikely to be a repeat of this scene from Casino Royale.

Gentlemen leaving their Christmas shopping until the last minute are about to be saved by Boodles.
The fabulous jewellery store has just launched its new token/gift voucher.
But this ain't any old gift voucher, it is a burnished gold casino chip housed in a Boodles leather wallet in the brand colours of charcoal and pink.
Best of all each token holds a value of £1,000 and the lucky recipient can spend it in any Boodles store on an item of jewellery of their choice.
I would recommend one of these babies...

WHILE we pine over the £8,000 sharp shouldered jackets and £10,000 sparkly Balmain dresses, the fashion house of the moment has actually launched something that doesn't require you to take out a mortgage.
Balmain's new fragrance Ambre Gris is now in stores at a relatively pocket friendly price of £47. Find it exclusively at Selfridges.

AS if more proof were needed that geek chic is where it's at, here is the supremely sexy Justin Timberlake in full-on nerd specs at today's Golden Globe announcements.
Well they do say the geeks shall inherit the Earth....

Hollywood socialite Nicole Ritchie unveiled a new look over the weekend.
The mother-of-two debuted her new brunette tresses after revealing she was sick of being blonde.
She tweeted: 'Oh! And PS I went brunette. I feel smarter already.'

WE are big fans of Liverpool's Club Geek Chic and we would expect them to have something special laid on for the festive season.
And of course they have, we are all invited to join them for a good old-fashioned Christmas kees-up this Saturday at the Mezzanine Bar in Liverpool's Contemporary Urban Centre.
The fun starts at 8pm and goes on til late with the girls promising mulled wine, mince pies and festive frolics.

IN the past few weeks the wardrobes of legends such as Audrey Hepburn and Elton John have gone under the auctioneer's hammer.
Never one to miss out on a bandwagon, Katie Price has decided to flog her old tat on eBay. So, if you've realised your wardrobe really needs a sequin miniskirt/belt, several glitter clutches or a pink corset visit Jordan's Closet. Fortunately, a proportion of the proceeds go to charity.
