Celebrity Apps, "The Advocate" & Shakira!

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

ONLINE:



Celebrity apps! We're living in an iPhone culture, where it's all about apps and getting entertainment directly from our phone. Dave reports on the celebrities that have jumped on this band wagon and review their apps. Who has the better value app? Britney, Pussycat Dolls or Lady Gaga? From the look of these time wasters, we reckon a Diff'rent Strokes app could easily be more fun.

MAGAZINES:



Jade reviews "The Advocate" magazine - an American gay and lesbian monthly magazine. Tune in to her talk about the magazine's content and style, and whether there's a market for a regular GLBTIQ news magazine in Australia.

MUSIC:

Dave reviews Shakira's latest album She Wolf. Tune to hear him go as far as touting this as one of his albums of the year. As always, there will be an 'album in the blend' - so you can sample four tracks off the record.

MUSIC:

Jade reviews Dashboard Confessional's new album Alter The Ending. As a big fan of old school angsty Dashboard material, how will she take to the new material? Tune in to hear an 'album in the blend' - letting you sample four tracks off the album.
