If you regularly read this blog you'll already know that I'm a MASSIVE fan of these scarves, harem pants, leggings, skirts and now fabulously theire NEW! Bikini Collection.
When I'd just about managed to work out which of the NEW! fabulous designed hand made scarves I wanted to purchase before I headed on my holiday to St. Tropez, France,-it was the Phoenix design that I managed to go for in the end in case your wondering-, I received an e-mail after I finally purchased saying about one of the designs for this NEW! Bikini Collection and even then I thought that it would be brilliant if they did a full Bikini Collection...and now officially on their website there is now a full Bikini Collection....YESSSSSSSS!
Here's the link to this NEW! Bikini Collection on their website if you haven't seen it yet:
https://www.shovava.com/product-category/swimwear/
Oh god! they all look amazing how on earth am I going to stop myself from buying all of these new bikini's before my next holiday.
Now that I think about it this is a really good time to put these fabulous designed bikini's on their website because before me and my family went on holiday bikini's were the one thing that me, my sisters and my mum were struggling to find...well we could all find them easily enough on websites but the thing we struggled to find were ones that had designs that we all liked, ones that were in colours that we liked and ones that had bikini bottoms that would be comfy once we wore them and not ones that wouldn't ruck up if you were either sitting on a sun lounger soaking up sun rays, reading a book sat on the beach or bikinis that were designed not in a styles like on the bottoms of some bikinis that we came across on some websites were in brazil styles so you just have to go with it that these bikini bottoms may not fit the way you would like even if you like the design of the bikini bottoms.
So these are great on all these fronts in my opinion, because not only are all these bikinis in this collection fabulously designed in amazing colours with amazing patterns to match so anyone of these bikinis that you choose would look fabulous on holiday in the sunshine as well as it making it very hard for anyone to choose which one are you going to buy first or which bikini would you want to wear first and are you going to wear them to the pool, the beach or to the beach club?, they all are designed including the lightly padded bikini tops with cutting-edge sustainable Italian techno-fabric "Vita Xtra Life Lycra" so they will retain shape and won't "rib".
And Shovava's website says that these bikinis are 5 times more chlorine resistant than your average swimwear fabric...so this means that the colour of the bikini won't fade after wearing this to the pool or to the beach...so this means that not only when you go on your jollydays with your mates that they not only will be green with envy and no doubt they'll asking you "where did you get that from?" you could wear these bikini's this summer, next summer or anytime or any place you want as this will still look like you've just bought it.
The only thing to do now is start deciding which pattern you like best.

New! Evanesceance Song from "Voice From The Stone" Movie
I apologise if you already have heard this piece of news but I wanted to put this up on here for a while but this has just been put on the back burner whilst I've been away on holiday so I apologise for this.
Anyhew you may or may not have heard but before I went on holiday I was listening to one of my favourite Evanescence songs "My Immortal" and there was a "Recommended For You" video "Amy Lee-Speak To Me" so of course I listened to this song.
Here is the link to this on YouTube.com in case you haven't heard this yet:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5JnKNvVXqY
In the information underneath the video of this it said that this is taken from the movie "The Voice From The Stone" starring Emilia Clarke who you may or may not recognise from "Game Of Thrones" who plays the character Daenerys Targaryen The Mother Of Dragons, or you may or may not also recognise her from "Me Before You" who played the character Lou Clarke or you may or may not also recognise her from "Terminator: Genisys" who played the character Sarah Connor, and Martin Csokas who you may not recognise from the first "XXX" film who played the character "Yorgi" who was the leader of the group "Anarchy 99".
According to IMDb.com's website this is a mystery, thriller, drama set in 1950's Tuscany when a solemn nurse played by Emilia Clarke is drawn to aid a young boy who has fallen silent since his mother's death and will be released on the 25th August 2017 at FrightFest.

Victor Miller wages war in the courts with Horror Inc. and Sean Cunningham for copyright over "Friday the 13th" and "Jason"
Gosh! It looks like it' all kicked off whilst I've been on a break from blogging.
But you may or may not know but over in the U.S.A according to Friday13thfranchise.com and The Hollywood Reporter.com's website the original scriptwriter of "Friday The 13th" films Victor Miller wants to terminate his rights to "Friday the 13th" and the "Jason" character and reclaim ownership of both of these things as is allowed in copyright law as in the 1970s U.S Congress amended copyright law by allowing authors or their heirs to terminate a grant of rights and reclaim ownership.
But here's the sticking point...
Sean Cunningham who original produced the "The Friday 13th" film in the 1980s says that as he hired Victor Miller on a work for hire basis he has no right to terminate.
And Horror Inc. as well as it's successor company that originally produced the 1980s "Friday the 13th" film Manny Company also says in court papers according to The Hollywood Reporter's website that it was Sean Cunningham who came up with the idea for a Halloween-type film, and that it was Sean Cunningham who hired the team including Victor Miller to develop the idea for this Haloween-type film and that it was Sean Cunningham who got the financing for this film as well as it being Sean Cunningham who controlled all creative decisions.
Lawyers representing the producers argue according to The Hollywood Reporter's website that as Victor Miller is still a member of the Writers Guild Of America he scripted the "Friday The 13th" film under a standard Writers Guild Of America employment agreement.
According to Bonnie Eskenazi who is representing the producers of "Friday the 13th":
"This fact is critical because the WGA negotiates with employers on behalf of its members to set the minimum terms and conditions of employment, which are reflected in its collective bargaining agreement..."
She goes on to say that:
"WGA members, like Miller do not have the right to freely negotiate the minimum terms and conditions of their employment"
So this to me sounds like the producers are claiming that as Victor Miller signed a standard employee agreement which by the sounds of it for all intents and purposes is kind of a contract as Bonnie Eskenazi says this "...provides substantial employee benefits for Miller, such as a minimum guaranteed salary, payment of residuals, sequel payments and pension benefits and health benefits..." so their arguing (the producers) that as Victor Miller signed this he wouldn't have been able to say he was going to work for hire as you can't just say your going to work creating an idea for someone who wants a Halloween-type film, put all your time, all hours of the day as well as all your energy into this project and say you want x amount of salary for this and can you give them a writing credit for this, but then not cover yourself officially by not signing a Writer's Guild Of America agreement as that would be silly to me as it was just opening himself up to being taken advantage of writing wise as Sean Cunningham, Manny Company and Horror Inc. could have said yeah they'll do all the things he's asked for but then as it wasn't officially written down they could turn around and not actually do any of these demands and deny all knowledge that he even asked for any kind of salary and writing credits...but as Victor Miller is a member of the Writer's Guild Of America he would have signed such an agreement that would have looked after him in terms of the hours he'd be working, what capacity would he be working on this, would he be getting any credit for this, how much would he be getting paid for this work, how much would he be paid if there were to be any spin offs of this depending on the first films success or if there were any sequels from this first movie and the WGA would have also negotiated what kind of pension Miller would have received therefore Miller was in no position to negotiate terms of employment.
Sounds like false advertising to me.
But as according to TheHollywoodReporter's website under copywrite law if any works are done in the scope of employment then it's the employer who's considered the statutory author. That is why also according to this website the producers are arguing that "Friday The 13th" was Sean Cunningham's vision not Victor Miller's.
But Victor Miller's lawyer Marc Toberoff argues according to TheHollywoodReporter's website that he wrote a 15 page treatment called "The Long Knight At Camp Blood" and screenplay "on spec" at his home without daily supervision. And he also argues that he worked as a freelancer over the course of two months and it was up to him when and how long he would work, as to the the Writer's Guild Of America argument that the producers are raising he was paid no employee benefits whatsoever i.e no health insurance, no paid vacation, no pension etc and he was only paid $5,569 upon delivery of a first draft and $3,713 upon delivery of a final draft screenplay, and the revisions with the exception of a new ending were 'minor'.
But here's a very important part of this puzzle Sean Cunningham, Horror Inc. and Manny Company argue that back in 1979 Victor Miller knew that Cunningham asserted ownership of "Friday The 13th" and thus he also knew he had three years to raise a claim to these rights.
So this sounds to me that the producers are saying if he knew this then why is it now that Victor Miller wants to terminate his rights to the both "Friday The 13th" and "Jason" and then reclaim ownership of these things?
But here is another sticky point to this case because the producers argue that:
"...it is undisputed that Miller did not create either the title "Friday The 13th" or the "Jason" character as a living adult monster who is the villainous killer in all of the eleven sequels. Instead, Cunningham created the title "Friday The 13th" and Miller created a "Jason" character that died as a young boy due to the negligence of his camp councillors..."
So this sounds like to me that the producers are not disputing that it wasn't Victor Miller who came up with the title "Friday The 13th" nor is it disputed that Victor Miller came up with the idea to make the "Jason" character that was used in all eleven sequels to be a living adult monster. And that it was Sean Cunningham who created the title "Friday The 13th" and that Victor Miller came up with the "Jason" character.
And these lawyers go on to argue that:
"Miller would submit drafts of his writings, and Cunningham would make changes and modifications and mark up drafts. Miller would take notes and incorporate changes..."
And it also sounds like to me that the lawyers are also trying to argue that Victor Miller would work with Sean Cunningham and he would make drafts of writings using ideas from Cunningham and or make notes and incorporate changes as and when needed.
So this sounds like to me its one hell of a mess that needs to be sorted because Victor Miller's lawyer points out that if a judge honoured the termination provisions of the copyright code then:
"...Miller will thereby recover the U.S copyright to his original film treatment and screenplay this does not prevent the continued exploitation by Plaintiffs or their licensees of prior derivative works, including the 1980s and its many sequels; it solely relates to new derivative works after the effective 2018 termination date..."
Marc Toberoff also points out that:
"...as the U.S Copyright Act has no extra-territorial application, the foreign rights to Miller's screenplay remain with Plaintiffs or their licensees..."
So according to fridaythe13thfranchise.com's website if Victor Miller were to win this case he would regain the rights and any future films that were to be distributed in the USA, but he wouldn't be able to have the rights to any other future films that were to contain the character "Jason Vorhees" and represented wearing a white hockey mask or even the title "Friday The 13th".
But you may or may not know but over in the U.S.A according to Friday13thfranchise.com and The Hollywood Reporter.com's website the original scriptwriter of "Friday The 13th" films Victor Miller wants to terminate his rights to "Friday the 13th" and the "Jason" character and reclaim ownership of both of these things as is allowed in copyright law as in the 1970s U.S Congress amended copyright law by allowing authors or their heirs to terminate a grant of rights and reclaim ownership.

Their Back....The Script NEW! Song "Rain"
I was just on Facebook and guess what I just happened to stumble onto The Script's new song "Rain"
Here's the link to the official music video on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iA-MHxa8C8
As a fan of this band I'm so excited to hear this new song from them as it feels to me like it's been aaaaaages since their last album "No Sound Without Silence".
This has a summery dance vibe to it...but it might just be me but the girl sat down in the music video that just refuses to smile or get up and dance with all the rest of the other people looks like to me now I think about it looks like she is trying too hard to look not interested not join in with everybody else that's having fun and is acting a bit like a bit of a baby having a tantrum.
I haven't been able to find anywhere any info so far on when a new album will be released so for fans of this band we'll just have to sit tight and wait and see and as soon as any news on this is released I'll put it up on here.

MUST HEAR MUSIC! Vol. II
! WARNING THIS POST MAY CONTAIN A RANT!
If you have already read yesterday's post on yesterday's must hear music you already know what's in store for this Vol. II post so, but if you haven't read yesterday's post then I apologise in advance but I just feel that these artists and this new music that I've been listening to whilst I've not been blogging NEEDS to be heard and is definitely a must for any summer holidays or any parties.
I just have to put this up on here because I'm sooooooo happy that Mads Langer has a new single out that I just had to download the minuite I heard the acoustic version of this song "Unusual" it's just soooo damn catchy and I just keep finding myself humming this all around the house even when I don't mean to be humming....damn you Mads Langer for making such catchy music! LOL
If you haven't heard either the original version of this song or the acoustic version yet you just have to stop what your doing right now and have a little listen. Here is the link on YouTube if you've not heard it yet:
I can' find a link to the actual version which is definitely making me make a sad face as I'm typing this...but I do know that this is now available on Spotify if you want to have a listen and it's also available on Amazon.
Also if you like hearing Stevie Wolf's music I've heard via the medium of his Facebook page that there is new material coming soon so if like me and are part of the wolf pack keep your eyes and ears open at all times for this....and I still am none the wiser as to why mainstream radio NEVER plays this as well as his other records from "The Mountain" EP or his other tracks like "Dammit (Blink 182 Cover), "Flights", "Nothing But A Name", "Tears In The Rain", "Dollar $igns", "Bold", "Forest Fires", "Getting Through" and "Alone +Alive".
Also now I've just thought about it Kaleo's A/B album you just have to listen to, I've been playing the hell out of this lately and I still don't understand how their song "Way Down We Go" was everywhere, it was even on the Boots advert for a No. 7 product and even though they're touring like crazy around Europe at the moment makes me feel even more infuriated that none of these awesome tracks are getting any airplay!
If you haven't heard "Way Down We Go" here is the YouTube link for you to have a little gander at:
I'm loving their album at the moment "No Good" that I saw the other day on their Facebook page sounded amaaaaaazing live performed for the fashion brand Allsaints,-the very definition of cool in my opinion these clothes look and I'm not just saying that because I own a leather jacket from this fashion brand as well as because I love this brand-, and I'm also loving "Glass House" this could just be me but everytime I hear this song it always makes me feel like the music video should have a Guy Ritchie "Snatch"/ "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" style kind of chase and having to jump down some kind of stairs to avoid the police chasing them.
Here is a YouTube link if you want to take a gander if you haven't heard this and still aren't convinced how good the album is then take a little listen of this:
Here is also a link to "No Good" if you haven't heard this:
Also in the same bluesy sounding/folk sounding vein as this why not have a listen to Katie Buchanan's new album "Who We Are When We Are Standing" I'm loving her song "Floating" off this album.
But I just have to put up on here one of my favourite band's new one off single "Dig Down":
It might just be me but the introduction to this new single makes me think of their other single "Madness", and this only gets me wanting to listen on YouTube to their other singles and this just reminds me how much I love this band.
Anyhew...this really makes it hard for me to get any work done as I'm just constantly listening to either this or one of their other singles. It also get's me really annoyed how this isn't being played either on mainstream radio because of how huge a band Muse are but just thinking about it now this is probably the reason why "Dig Down" isn't being played on the radio.
Now I've heard this single I really want to know when the album's coming out...but I guess like all the other millions of Muse fans I'll just have to wait for this just like I'll have to wait for when the new album of 30 seconds to mars that they have been on tour with this June, July and August with along with PVRIS will be released...oh well!
If you haven't heard this song yet,-why the hell not-, here is the link on YouTube for you to have a gander at:
I do realise that I've gone on for two blog posts ranting about how Radio 1 and other mainstream radio is shit and they don't really play any new and upcoming artists and I don't really think I need to keep going on about the millions of artists that are out there that don't get any airplay like Martin Luke Brown and his new single "Yellow" or any of his other amazing singles like " Scars on Scars", "Knife Edge", "Nostalgia", "Wasted Youth ft. Sody", "Shadow and Light", "Roses" and his "Take Out Of Me" EP. Or the actor Ansel Elgort's singles that are really perfect for any party playlist this summer like "Thief", "You Can Count On Me", "Home Alone" and "All I Think About Is You".
Also have a little listen to MB13 BEATS P I've been listening to a few of his tunes on his Soundcloud page recently and I have to say that these all sound perfect to play at any party this summer.

NEW! MUST HEAR MUSIC! Vol I
! WARNING THIS POST MAY CONTAIN A RANT!
God it feels like I've not posted anything on this blog for aaaaaaaaaages and I apologise for this but I just felt I had to post this as it made me so angry and annoyed that whilst I've been away there has been some amaaaaaazing music that I've heard on all platforms like YouTube, Soundcloud, Spotify, Amazon etc. and this isn't being played on the 'all for introducing new and up and coming talent' Radio 1 where these artists as well as new songs by already signed artists that have already have their songs played thus making me think that Radio 1 are just more interested in playing popular shit music like Liam Payne "Strip That Down", which of course gets a high positon in the charts because they play it every five minutes, and if you watch the music video Liam Payne even does a stupid little hand movement like Cheryl Cole does in her "Fight For This Love" music video, that or Little Mix' "Power" which has a ridonculous music video and is in my opinion just them shouting.
So this just makes me think that Radio 1 are only interested in promoting artists that they are paid to promote and the other day I heard an artist doing a Live Lounge and the radio presenter said that they absolutely loved their song and it's a big favourite on there show and I've never heard it being played except when the actual artist was there promoting the record...making me think that Radio 1 are just liers!
Well I did warn you beforehand that this post may contain a rant.
Anyhew....I've been listening a lot recently to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis ft. Skylar Grey's new song "Glorious" and I saw yesterday the official music video on YouTube and I couldn't stop going "Aw!" to this as it's so sweet.
Here's the link to have a little gander at it if you haven't already seen it:
This is really catchy even just thinking about this song now I've got the bit that Skylar Grey sings in this song stuck in my head. Just thinking about it now whilst I'm typing this Skylar Grey's got an amazing sound I don't know why this or any of her songs aren't being played on mainstream Radio as she's already been on the soundtrack of "Suicide Squad" and "Fast and Furious 7",- and if your like me and want to know what song did she sing in either of those films she sang in "Fast and Furious 7" "I Will Return" the song that gets played when Paul Walker's character Brian O'Conner is on the phone to Jordana Brewster's character Mia Toretto when she and her son Jack have been sent away to stay at a friends house in the Dominican Republic so their safe after a bomb blast at the Toretto house by Deckard Shaw, and Brian O'Conner tells her on the phone that if she doesn't hear from him in the next 24hrs then she should just take their son and move on with their lives but she says that he shouldn't talk like that as she is expecting another baby and that he should just come home to them and that he should tell her something else and he says that she should give their son a kiss for him. And if you are wondering what song she sings on the soundtrack of "Suicide Squad" it's the song "Wreak Havoc"-.
It just make me feel like dancing along to it and now I really wish there was a new album coming out as this sounds just as good as all the other Macklemore and Ryan Lewis songs off their albums.
Also I am a HUUUUGE fan of LMFAO and I couldn't believe when I was on YouTube that Redfoo had already released a couple of tracks I thought for sure listening to this that with how popular this band was back in the day that the press would get this or that mainstream radio would be playing this...and it sounds like the vibe of LMFAO has been continued thankfully and I bet this album would sound really good at a house party or it would seem ideal to play now that it's supposedly the summer.
Here is the YouTube link to hear "New Thang" in case you haven't heard this song yet:
This definitely is one to get you up dancing to.
Also if you haven't heard "Let's Get Ridiculous" here is the YouTube link to have a little gander at it:
This is the YouTube link to Redfoo's "Where The Sun Goes" in case you haven't heard this:
And here is the YouTube link to Redfoo's newest song "Sock It To Ya":
In my opinion this doesn't sound as good as "New Thang" or "Let's Get Ridiculous" it still does sound like you want to dance along to it.
And here is the YouTube link to "Brand New Day":
And now that I've just been listening to recently uploaded music it's just popped up on YouTube OneRepublic "No Vacancy" and "Truth Turn To Power" both of these didn't get very much radio play and I think they should have because in my opinion "No Vacancy" sounds like it's perfect to play now it's summer time and it definitely gets you wanting to dance along to...now that I think about it "Truth To Power" sounds like at the beginning of the song like the beginning of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" and even though it does sound melancholic it does make me want to just sit for a bit after the song has finished and think "wow! that sounded epic".

Say What! 007 Needs a NEW studio to distribute James Bond films
I was reading this the other day on The New York Times website and I couldn't believe it...not another issue to throw in amongst the monthly updated names thrown into the hat by the papers on who will play the next James Bond after Daniel Craig commented about how he'd rather slit his own wrists if you asked him if he would play the character again he did do a stage production of "Othello" that was produced by Barbara Broccoli and according to "sources" this got rave reviews by critics and these same "sources" say that talks with Daniel Craig about possibly returning to play the character James Bond are now going in the right direction.
So sorry to Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Damien Lewis, James Norton, Aiden Turner and the other actors names who will undoubtedly find their way into this hat but there seems to be an even bigger problem with the James Bond franchise that needs to be sorted out even before you start asking who will be the next Bond...which film studio will be marketing and distributing the future 007 film?
According to this article on The New York Time' website Sony Pictures which has had a contract to market and distribute the films thus far this contract will expire in 2015,- I do realise that the year is 2017 and that I'm really late to this party but this issue still doesn't seem to have been resolved,-.
And according to articles on The New York Time's website and on Forbe's website the film studios that are vying for these rights are: Sony, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, Universal Studios and a relatively new to the fray Annapurna which according to this same article on The New York Time's website is an ambitious upstart financed and led by Oracle heiress Megan Ellison. Unfortunately this looks like the deal that's being offered up at the moment is to only have the rights to distribute one film but its also thought by this article on Forbe's website that this deal will probably be similar to the deal that Sony had which according to the article on The New York Time's website was Sony paid 50% of the production cost on "Spectre",-this was around $250million after accounting for government incentives-, and they Sony only received 25% certain profits once costs were recoup.
Sony also had to shoulder tens of millions of dollars in marketing and had to give MGM a piece of the profits from non-Bond films in Sony's pipeline including that of "22 Jump Street".
Harsh!
So according to this same article on The New York Time's website the only reason that these studios would want these rights is for bragging rights.
But this same New York Time's article it is said that as MGM is owned by private equity firms including Anchorage Capital Partners wants to keep its options open as it considers a sale or an open offering, and also interestingly in this same article it states that Annapurna has signed as of last month an unrelated distribution deal with MGM...so this could reading between the lines could suggest that Annapurna are a lot closer than these other studios to getting these distribution rights but they'd still have to impress both Barbara Broccoli and her older half brother Michael G. Wilson who actually have the rights and have always been involved with the making of these James Bond movies right from the start.
There's no word yet on who's won this competition for the distribution rights so we'll just have to wait and see but Bond fans shouldn't feel too anxious about this as Forbes thinks that this next film won't be released until 2019.
