Dannii Minogue Interview

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

Dave chats with Dannii Minogue about her glittery career in entertainment, her relationship with the gay community and future music plans.

It has been a massive year for new mum Dannii - nappy changes aside, she is still holding down the X Factor judging panel in the UK and is currently promoting her first tell-all autobiography: My Story.

Tonight Dannii reminisces on her Young Talent Time years and talks about her unexpected return to family TV entertainment almost thirty years later on the X Factor.

She also opens up about her relationship with the gay music scene and the inadvertent statement she made when she insisted on performing at London's G-A-Y back in the day.

Dannii Minogue is still very much the queen of clubs over in the UK with an unmatched record of 12 consecutive #1 club hits but while she remains unsure of her place in the music industry, tonight she talks about her new recordings and tells fans to, "watch this space!"

Dannii's autobiography My Story is in stores Monday.

Facebook Friending, Lip Service and Good Hair

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

ONLINE:

Jade and Dave has a straight up discussion about Facebook friending, privacy settings and - as all our chat about FB usually ends up - Mama Lim's bizarre social networking antics.

TV:

Jade reviews a new lesbian drama Lip Service. The show follows a group of lesbians in Glasgow and the relationships they form in their world. Could this be better than The L Word and more importantly, will it present an acceptable representation of lesbians on TV?

CULTURE:

Anyone who knows Dave knows that he takes great pride in his hair. This week, our quiffed Diff'rent Strokes diva checks out Chris Rock's Good Hair documentary and explores the relationship the black community has with their hair.

We'll talk weaves, relaxer and extensions - get ready to whip your hurr back and forth.

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

MAGAZINES:

Dave checks out the iconic Interview magazine started by Andy Warhol in the late 60s' and discusses it's style, subjects and elitist air.

FLASHBACK:

Jade's flashing back to the grunge music era tonight to discuss the sound and culture that was so representative of its scene in the mid 80s. Think of the popularity of Nirvana's Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten in the 90s - and what's left of the movement today.
