Pixie Lott is back this Autumn with a brand new Album and her fourth collection for fashion favourite Lipsy

In addition to her fantastic musical career, Pixie has her own clothing line ‘Pixie Lott for Lipsy’ and a new range will launch all across the UK and Ireland on September 26th through Lipsy retail stores, Lipsy.co.uk as well as through key Lipsy wholesale partners including Asos.com, Bank, Very.co.uk, Selfridges, House of Fraser and Next.co.uk

Add to this, Pixie Lott is back with a brand new track called ‘All About Tonight’, which premièred on UK radio on Monday the 11th of July.

The highly-anticipated single will be played in the build-up to the popstar’s second album, which Lott will be releasing on November 7th.

After releasing her debut album ‘Turn It Up’ in 2009, Pixie continued to reach higher and higher levels of success which led to ‘Turn It Up’ reaching triple platinum status and has been on the charts for a phenomenal 95 weeks. With two #1 singles also under her belt, the 20-year old has the pop scene firmly grasped and her fans can only wait for her second album to drop this autumn.

Pixie starred as a guest judge on last year’s X Factor alongside Cheryl Cole, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh. Last December, Pixie performed her first headline tour and it sold out within hours. Pixie is also one of the most talked about artists on the social networks, with over 1million friends on Facebook and 500,000 twitter followers. There’s not much Pixie hasn’t done in terms of achievements and we expect that her fourth collection with Lipsy will be the best one yet.

Commenting on the new collection Pixie said: “I love designing my own clothing line with Lipsy. I still need to pinch myself when I think about this being my fourth clothing range and I’m still only 20. The new range is the best one yet.”

Jeremy Stakol, CEO of Lipsy, said: “Everyone at Lipsy adores Pixie. She is a modern day fashion icon and we are privileged to be working with her. Our customers love everything Pixie does and I’m sure they’ll be blown away when they see the new Pixie Collection this September. Pixie is a pleasure to work with and we’re backing her to get to number 1 in the charts with her new album”.

ArcelorMittal Orbit as the backbone of London Olympics 2012 roller-coaster ride?

At 114.5 metres high, the sculpture is even taller than the Statue of Liberty, so not only would you get a great ride, but you would also have fantastic views of London and the entire Olympic Park

With the London Olympics opening in a year's time, one question has been puzzling visionary artist, David A Hardy. What can be done to make the 22.7 million pound artwork, the ArcelorMittal Orbit, more than just an abstract piece of art? As can be seen from his illustration, he suggests it could form the heart of a state of the art roller-coaster ride.

“The twists and turns in the sculpture reminded me of the organic form of a roller-coaster,” points out David. “This would be a perfect fusion of art and entertainment. At 114.5 metres high, the sculpture is taller than the Statue of Liberty in New York so not only would you get a great ride, but you would also have fantastic views of London and the entire Olympic Park.”

David is one of the world’s leading visionary artists having collaborated with the likes of Patrick Moore and Arthur C Clarke to create visions of the future. Based in the UK, he has won numerous awards including ‘Best Artist’ at this year’s European SF Convention in Stockholm, written and illustrated top selling books such as “Visions of Space”, and his artwork has been used all over the world from NASA to New Scientist Magazine. His website is astroart www.astroart.org.

Sales of Vita Audio Digital Radios growing at DougBradyhifi.com

Inspiring sound, exquisite styling and compact size proves to be a winning combination at DougBradyHi-Fi, with sales of Vita Audio Digital Radios hitting record highs.

Vita DAB Radios were launched in 2006, and despite only 5 short years on the market have become a leader in the DAB digital radio market. Vita Audio radios and music systems combine stunning good looks with an exceptional build quality, and deliver crystal clear sound for the home, and on the move.

The good looks and superb sound have proved to be a winning combination at www.DougBradyhifi.com, with online and store seeing sales hitting record highs in recent months. All Vita audio radios feature DAB, DAB+ & an FM Tuner with RDS, with class leading sound quality and tone control to suit each customer’s individual tastes.

Quality is evident throughout the Vita Audio collection, which consists of three ranges each offering an exceptional audio experience. “The Vita Audio R1 is a great all rounder, perfect for both inside and outside the home with an optional carry case and battery pack for the full digital audio experience wherever you go” points out DougBradyhifi.com product manager Stephen Oakes.

Whilst the R1 has the edge for portability, it is the R2i & R4i which are topping the sales charts at DougBradyhifi.com thanks to more comprehensive digital media functionality. The Vita Audio R2i recently collected the What Hi-Fi? Best Desktop DAB award in the £200+ category, adding to its 5 star rating in Hi-Fi Choice magazine and an impressive tally of 5-star ratings on leading websites.

“The Vita Audio R2i is a complete music solution for a small to medium sized room, and despite its compact size can deliver impressive sound. The quality of construction is second to none, and they are hand crafted from materials selected for their excellent acoustic properties” says Oakes. In addition to a full DAB radio, the Vita Audio R2i features an integrated universal iPod dock, compact remote handset, intuitive Rotodial controller and offers 20 watts nominal power output helped by 3D sound processing and high-fidelity speakers.

A step up in functionality is the Vita Audio R4i, which has been designed for the 21st century, and has been described as the Aston Martin of digital radios. It offers the full complement of features to play all digital media including a slot loading multi format CD player, integrated universal iPod dock, USB port for playback of music files, and remote control and easy rotodial controller. The power is impressive, with an 80 watt output and the quality of sound is exceptional for its size, and is one of few all in one D.A.B systems which produces an outstanding performance across the board.

“The R4i is an exceptional compact music system. For the R4i, Vita Audio developed their own A-B amplifiers using complex techniques more commonly seen in high end separates than compact music systems, and it makes a huge difference to the quality of the sound” says Oakes.

With such glowing reviews and high demand for compact digital integrated music systems, Vita Audio products are flying off the shelves, with sales stronger than ever.

Russell Grant tells you how to spend the Euromillions Jackpot!

The EuroMillions Jackpot of ₤166 million still remains as no one matched all 6 numbers on Friday night's draw. The top prize is now frozen and will remain for Tuesday’s draw with the added benefit of prize money rolling down to the next prize levels.

So if you were the Lucky Winner of the jackpot what would you spend the money on…?

We asked the UK’s favourite Astrologer Russell Grant to reveal what each of the Starsigns would do with all those millions…

Aries
The more impulsive Aries will spend some of the millions, give a lot away to their friends and spend and spend some more! What also really appeals is that they now have the cash to book their place in space or buy their own residential suite on a luxury liner.

Taurus
Taurus will pay off all their debts and put a good percentage in a high-rate interest bank account to live off the interest. Will it change their life? Absolutely! Now they can live in the luxury they’ve worked so hard for. (EDITOR: As a Taurus, I can say that's pretty much spot-on!)

Gemini
Gemini will set up a number of small businesses then leave other people to run them so they can go on searching for new ways to invest and spend the money. They’ll happily waste a lot on cars, clothes, gadgets, travelling and holidays.

Cancer
Family comes first and after making sure all loved ones are financially secure, Cancer’s likely to make some wise long-term investments and donate anything left over to charity.

Leo
Leos love luxury and will spend half of it on a new home, a holiday home, a yacht, a car for every member of the family, a new wardrobe and a dream holiday. The other half they will invest to live off the interest that’s if they get their sums right!

Virgo
After having figured out exactly how big this win is, Virgo would probably buy an island to live on with a selected group of friends and family. They’ll have everything worked out down to the last penny allocating some for friends some for charity and some for the plane and pilot to get them to their island!

Libra
Besides quitting their job, buying a palatial home, splashing out on lavish gifts and parties for their friends, of course it won’t change the Libran’s life! Did I mention the chauffeur driven car?

Scorpio
Secretive Scorpio will keep the win to themselves. They’re likely to invest in a small to medium sized corporation.

Sagittarius
Travel, land, a home in all their favourite countries, a field full of horses, an animal sanctuary, Sagittarius would never be short of ideas on how to spend their millions.

Capricorn
A lot of it would be donated to a third world country or between Capricorn’s favourite charities. Some of it will be invested and there’ll still be money left for Capricorn to set up their own business!

Aquarius
Aquarius will think of others first, donating most of it to charity and towards helping their friends and family. They’ll share their luck by converting some of the millions into real money and driving through town throwing it out for anyone to catch or they might set up a self-help commune or provide supported housing for homeless people.

Pisces
Once they pinch themselves and realise they aren’t dreaming Pisces will consult a financial advisor who will probably charge huge administrative fees. Pisces should be very careful who they trust to handle their millions!

Whilst Russell can't tell us the 6 Winning numbers he did say: “Jupiter is in Taurus and Pluto is in Capricorn which suggests a life-transforming period for Taurus and Capricorns, whereas Uranus is in Aries which indicates an unexpected surprise for all Aries”

Whatever your Starsign – fingers crossed and Good Luck for the next draw!
