Now studying at the prestigious Brown University in New England, Emma is walking proof that fame and fortune at a young age does not necessarily mean a direct road to Rehab! And following the news of the Oscar nominations meaning that there is little hope of Britain scooping one of the major awards this year, we at least have one thing to cheer.

What this means to a gamer is simple – access to games is becoming increasingly convenient. Although new releases of major games might lead to a strain on bandwidth, this can be the only negative of getting immediate digital access to the games you want!

This amount of worldwide spend suggests that this is not a localised trend and that we are very much a world of gamers, with the spectrum of players being from the young through to the old.  So what exactly is the pull of a game that depicts the gamer set in a scene of war, either commanding a team of soldiers or on a solo mission attempting to achieve numerous objectives ?

What should be the right thing to do, should as some people suggest, encourage these bankers to stay within the UK as they will continue to spend money and support the economy or do we risk losing them to one of the major financial districts around the world.  Would it be better purely to let them continue to pay out these bonuses and tax them in the long term and allow them to contribute to attempting to stabilise the country’s economy.

So if you were Prime Minister would you step in and make change, or would you look to reassure the country that its in their long-term best interests ?

With teams like Portsmouth and West Ham looking to have financial troubles, then it is likely that some late bids will succeed and we will see a flurry of activity.  My own team have made 3 signings, who have all come from Celtic.  Gordon Strachan has gone with players he knows a bit about by signing Willo Flood, Barry Robson and Chris Killen to try and mount a serious challenge to get back into the Premier League.

So the question to finish on is who will Manchester City sign next ??

I am meant to have started training for a 10k run in Manchester that is in May but so far have been unable to get out to train, due to all the pavements being caked in ice.  I am now hoping that we get slightly warmer weather that will allow for the ice to disappear, otherwise its back to running on a treadmill in the gym, which for the record I absolutely detest.

Lets hope the weather is reading this plea and that I will be back out pounding the streets soon.

Been to the emergency dentist and they have given me antibiotics, but I have to wait a full week before they can do anything about it.  Im thinking that its going to be a long and painful week, which I will struggle to get through.  But at least i will have inadvertently fulfilled one of my new year’s resolutions by going to dentist.

Its all going to be part of my new, healthy lifestyle for 2010, watch this space to see how I get on !!

McCartney has recently performed as part of the Children in Need performance at the Royal Albert Hall. This week sees the X Factor hopefuls performing a song each by Take That and Elton John. With performances from Rihanna, Alicia Keys and Madonna coming up in the next few weeks it is clear to see the appeal of the show has never been higher.

With John and Edward the latest act to leave, there are now only 5 acts remaining. Lloyd Daniels, Joe McElderry, Stacey Solomon, Danyl Johnson and Olly Murs will apparently perform one track by Elton John and one track by Take That. Highlights from last year’s Take That week included Alexandra Burke performing ‘Relight My Fire’, JLS singing ‘A Million Love Songs’ and Eoghan Quigg’s ‘Never Forget’.

Alicia Keys and Rihanna have previously been confirmed as the special guests for the Sunday results episode. Rihanna is rumoured to be acting as a guest mentor as well as singing her new single ‘Russian Roulette’. As the show nears an end, the competition gets hotter and the songs will have to be better than ever.
