Dark Night

t was a cold night out on Treasure Island, but worth the picture!

Take Flight

A falcon in flight. I must say that luck can play a big role in photography.

's-Hertogenbosch

After a party while waiting for the first train to go back home I was all alone on this deserted trainstation in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. To kill time, I decided to take a picture. Hope you like the result!

Video: Locker room chat in Fast Girls exclusive clip


Everyone and everything is going Olympics crazy, including the world of film. New Brit flick Fast Girls follows the trials and tribulations of a female relay team. It's not all about running though, as we see this exclusive clip there's plenty of naughty locker room chat too.

Fast Girls is in cinemas from 15 June

For all you Disney fans out there: it's the new Wreck-It Ralph trailer


We're happy to admit that most of us at heat are big kids at heart, so when we heard about the new Disney cartoon Wreck-It Ralph, we struggled to contain our excitement.

But that's nothing compared to how crazy we went when we watched the trailer for the first time...

Wreck-It Ralph, played by John C. Reilly, is a computer game baddie with a heart of gold who seeks a new life; a new life where people get to know the real him instead of the naughty character he portrays in his day-to-day life.

If you love Toy Story - and who doesn't? - you'll go loopy for this.

Wreck-It Ralph hits UK cinemas in November

Cheryl Cole: I dont find singing easy


It's no secret that Cheryl Cole has had her fair share of grief when it comes to being accused of miming through performances – and even at Monday's Jubilee Concert, she got a lot of stick on Twitter for singing live (jeez, the poor girl can't win whatever she does), but in a new and very honest interview, Chezza has revealed that she doesn't find the whole art of singing easy anyway… and frankly, she doesn't think she should.

Speaking to Pop Justice, the starlet commented, "I don't think singing is supposed to be easy. It's supposed to come from your emotions."

The former Girls Aloud singer then went on to discuss how artists shouldn't be thought less of if they don't write their own music.

"I don't care that I didn't write it," she said honestly. "I just appreciate other people's talents. I didn't grow up listening to songs thinking, 'Well, they didn't write it'. I loved those songs because they were great sings and that's still how I feel when I'm making my music."

 

Cheryl also opened up about her solo career success saying she owes it all to will.i.am.
"It was actually him that convinced me to do a solo record. I never would have done a solo record without him," she admitted.

"At the time, I would have had a family. At the time I was still married! But it was actually Will saying to us, 'You know you're going to do a solo record, right?', and I was saying, 'I don't want to, not yet'. And he was like, 'I think you should. You need to'.

Well, as they say the rest is history and if it wasn't for The Voice coach, we wouldn't be getting so excited about Chez's new album A Million Lights coming out in 10 days. Praise be, will.i.am. You did good.

Abi Phillips: "Hollyoaks co-stars bully me because of my accent!"


Abi Phillips:

Although Abi Phillips is just as bubbly as her Hollyoaks character, she's a bit more clued up than dopey Liberty Savage. We caught up with her ahead of Hollyoaks' Enchanted Forest festival special.

Who's your favourite person to work with on the Hollyoaks set?

I don't have a specific person - I love working with my family (the Savages). We get on great, but Danny (Mac) and James (Atherton) literally just bully me because of my accent. My dad (Dirk Savage) and we just get on great. And then there's Joe (Tracini, who plays Dennis Savage) – he's sarcastic, so it's just really funny and I really enjoy working with them.

Why do Danny and James take the mickey out of your accent?

Because it's Brummie! It's like Awllriiiighhht!

What's the best thing about being in Hollyoaks?

It's the experiences you get. I'm learning so much. I never used to any acting, but I'm learning how to do different things and I'm meeting so many interesting people and I get to see how things work. Everyone's really lovely to each other and I get to sing as well which is good.

Are you singing in the festival episode?

This time it isn't me who saves the day…so you're going to have to watch and see who does! What type of music have you got coming up? I've got a lot of songs. There's fast ones, there's ones taking the mick out of people who told me that I can't do things. They're quite funny. And I've got Adele-ish numbers - I've started learning the guitar and I've got a lot of ballads in there.

What's your funniest festival moment?

Ages ago, I had a really really rubbish phone at a festival in Spain. This guy came up to me and was like 'Give me your phone'. Because it was so crap I just gave it to him and was like 'Yeah, sure'. He looked at it and was like 'Actually you can have it back'! I'm going to my first proper festival this year – Creamfields. That should be good.

What storylines are coming up for Liberty?

We've got a massive storyline about the caravan. It's so funny because my character is such a dope and she doesn't think about what she's saying. We've got this massive festival stuff coming up, too!

What type of storylines would you like to have?

My brothers are so overprotective of me – I'd really like my character to go a bit wild on the boy front. It would get so many people in trouble and they you'd get to learn what the family's about. It'll be cool to see why they're like that as well.

Also, you'd get to get off with loads of fit people…

Yeah, that's cool! [lots of giggles].

Find out what fate awaits Liberty in the Enchanted Forest festival special of Hollyoaks on Channel 4 at 6.30pm on Friday 8 June. Also make sure you're on heatworld.com to catch heat4, our exclusive live web show.

We'll have Jessica Forrest, Danny Mac and James Atherton on the sofa with Will Best and Lucie Cave!

Leanne Mitchell wins The Voice UK!


Leanne Mitchell wins The Voice UK!

We can officially announce that the contestant to win the first series of The Voice UK is Leanne Mitchell!

That's right, Team Tom Jones trumped the other coaches acts and stormed the votes, meaning that Leanne has now secured a £100,000 record deal with Universal Republic.
Leanne belted out It's A Man's Man's Man's World and her coach Tom even joined her on stage for their own rendition of Mama Told Me Not To Come.

The bookie's favourite to win the singing contestant was Bo Bruce who sang Nothing Compares 2  U and Read All About It with coach Danny O'Donoghue (We're going to miss looking at his face).

Finalist Vince Kidd sang Many Rivers to Cross and dueted with Jessie J with their rendition of Nobody's Perfect while Tyler James chose to sing I'll Be There and the singer belted out OMG with will.i.am.

Cheeky chap Ed Sheeran made a surprise performance, much to the audiences delight, and we even got to marvel at the very sexy Adam Levine during his guest performance, *swoon*

It seemed as though studio execs pulled out all the stops for the show's big finale, their motivation may have been faltering viewing figures since the show's big debut. We especially enjoyed the four coaches medley of their greatest hits.

Leanne appeared overjoyed to be crowned 'The Voice', but what do you Heatworld citizens think? Did you enjoy the show over all, and who do you think deserved to win?

GALLERY: Our top 5 funniest pop performances

Ahead of the Hollyoaks Enchanted Forest festival special, we thought we’d bring you five of the funniest pop performances we've seen...

We all know Beyonce’s amazing. We all think she’s the nuts. But even we’re not as in awe of her as this girl in the front row of the crowd at Glastonbury 2011 was. Beyonce was so impressed by the girl mouthing "I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU", she passed her the microphone. But the girl’s rendition of the "oooh" bit in Halo only makes us realise how truly great the real Beyonce is.

This week's heat film reviews - Snow White And The Huntsmen, Prometheus and LOL


This week the heat team grabbed their popcorn and Minstrels and headed to the pictures to watch the three biggest releases in Moviesville this week - Snow White And The Huntsman; starring Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron, Prometheus; starring Michael Fassbender and LOL; starring Miley Cyrus

Here's what we thought:

Snow White And The Huntsman

Snow White And The Huntsman

STARRING: Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin
DIRECTOR: Rupert Sanders (CERT 12A, 127 minutes)

The plot: What is it with Kristen Stewart? Once again, she finds herself at the apex of a love triangle, as the titular huntsman (Hemsworth) and her former childhood friend (Claflin) compete to be her chosen one. But all that comes later. First, her princess Snow must escape the clutches of her evil stepmum Ravenna (Theron), team up with the huntsman dispatched to bring her back, and fall in with an octet of diminutive bandits. With this ragtag army’s help, can she rally the oppressed people against their oppressive ruler?

What’s right with it? Directors who hone their craft making commercials often fall into the trap of style over substance (Immortals’ Tarsem, Tron: Legacy’s Joseph Kosinski), but feature debutant Sanders manages to ravish the screen while taking us on an engaging emotional journey. The sequence in the fairy forest is adorable as the kingdom of animals and magical sprites responds
to Snow’s inner beauty. Bless!

What’s wrong with it? Despite a few attempts to give the story a contemporary political edge (Ravenna is just standing up for her gender), the film doesn’t penetrate the beauty-youth equation very deeply, while Snow’s special status emanates from her being a true-born princess – hardly a progressive message from a film claiming a fresh twist on a classic tale.

Verdict: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Mopey Kristen Stewart might not be the first answer we’d all give to that question, but the surly one effectively holds the centre of this supremely stylish assemblage of road movie, romance and fairytale action-adventure.
