The Nili Pod: Good News (16 April 2016)

Nia's Blogging and Vlogging Website


There are some really great stories in the news this week, with Zoella making yet another appearance in the newspaper headlines, along with Hollywood's latest wannabe actor, One Direction lead man Harry Styles.

I also noticed that Cruz Beckham, son of Victoria and David, is beginning his journey to join Brooklyn and his celebrity status, and then Taylor Swift seems to have completely reinvented herself, yet again. Finally, Britain's Got Talent seems to be just one of many reality shows where lots of the acts are simply being recycles from previous years, so have we run out of talent altogether?!

Zoella Body Confidence
Photo of body conscious Zoella, aged 14In a flashback to her childhood, famous Brighton blogger and vlogger Zoe Sugg has posted a few pictures of her younger self, with an inspirational message to her many millions of online Internet fans. Zoe, better known to most as simply Zoella, started off with a photo of herself aged 14 years old, when she was at the beach, paddling in the sea and wearing a bikini top.

The caption that accompanied the image was: 'That time I grew boobs before anything else and hated it. All bodies are beautiful. Wish I'd known that aged 14!' Within a few hours, the photo was liked more than 20,000 times, with many thousands of messages flooding in to support her thoughts on the topic.

Taylor Swift Rock Chick Makeover

Most usually known for her immaculate bob and stylish, formal clothing, Taylor surprised everyone with a very sexy, rock chick photoshoot, complete with a stunning peroxide blonde bob haircut. In fact, many of her fans didn't even recognise her, while others described Swifty as being nothing short of a blonde bombshell.

Whether or not her new look will be staying is not yet clear, but it has certainly got people talking about Vogue once again, which I guess was the plan of editor Anna Wintour (the one who inspired the fashion-based film 'The Devil Wears Prada' starring Meryl Streep).

Cruz Beckham, the Next Justin Bieber?

And now, it's the turn of Cruz Beckham, Brooklyn's 11-year-old brother, who has certainly started to grow into his looks.

Victoria posted a short video of Cruz singing the song Hopeful, by Twista and Faith Evans, captioning his audition to the world with the heartfelt worlds 'Super cute Cruz!', and her Instagram account went into meltdown with love. He certainly has a voice of an angel and immediately began to draw comparisons with a younger Justin Bieber.

A voice of the future perhaps? Well, he certainly has the right family connections, with Posh Spice off of the Spice Girls as his mother and the family's endless list of A-lister celebrity friends. He does seem really sweet and innocent though - let's hope it stays that way.

All At Sea with Harry Styles

Well, things have certainly started to step up, since he is about to join the crew of this old Navy ship and get back to basics - there is no electricity on board, or even running water, let alone a mobile signal!

Harry is reportedly concerned about how he will cope not being able to use his phone to connect to the world of social media. It is unknown whether his hair has been cut short yet for his naval role, but here's an artist's impression, to give you an idea of what he might look like as a soldier in World War II.

Britain's Got Recycled Talent

However, controversy is never far away with Simon Cowell, with some of the acts having appeared on previous shows in a different form.

This includes Lucy heath and her cute dog Trip Hazzard, who had already competed previously with another dog. And then there's that idiot with the pink wig, Rainbow Elvis, who was a bit of a has-been from a previous show, and what about that crazy Russian sword swallower, who has won other country's Got Talent shows and isn't even British! And don't get me started on The Voice, where the winner previously appeared in ITV's Popstars show many years ago, before joining Liberty X and topping the charts! Come on Simon, new talent or no talent please.
