Baby Bunton's Bun in the Oven

4 down, 1 to go. The youngest Spice Girl, Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton, is pregnant with her first child. The father is her boyfriend of 8 years Jade Jones. Bunton, who has endometriosis, a condition which can make it difficult to conceive, is thrilled with the pregnancy. Bunton released her 3rd album "Life in Mono" in early January and just completed a successful run on the U.K. competition programme "Strictly Come Dancing". Her last single, a cover of Petula Clarke's "Downtown", debuted at no.3 on the U.K. Charts.

There are two Spice Girls currently with child: Melanie 'Scary Spice' Brown is pregnant with her second child. Melanie 'Sporty Spice' Chisolm is the only Spice Girl to not have a child.

Death of a VJ

John Majhor played an integral part of my early adolescence. He hosted a Toronto video programme (before MUCHMUSIC) called "Toronto Rocks". This was THE show to watch if you were 11-18 years old in the mid 80s. There wasn't the Internet, there wasn't (as said above) MuchMusic - nothing. This was it. You had to wait for your favourite video to be played. Or, call in and request a video. Sigh ... RIP Mr Majhor. My youth goes with you. :o(



John Majhor, 53: Voice of CHUM

Commanding personality made shift easily from radio jock to video host

To a generation of Torontonians that came of age before MuchMusic, John Majhor was the iconic voice – and also face – of rock and roll.

Majhor was the rare charismatic radio personality who was able to make the transition easily to television. Quick on his bare feet – he disdained wearing shoes, finding "they bug me for some reason" – and sporting a silver hoop earring in his left lobe, his shining brown hair and flirtatious smile made him a commanding television presence.
He died yesterday morning, surrounded by family in his suburban Minnesota home following a five-month battle with cancer. He was 53.

During the '80s, he was CHUM's prime rock interviewer, rubbing shoulders with Elton John, Meat Loaf and George Harrison, to name a few. But to his family, he was all that and then some.

"I think that what you hear on air from him was him – just a very straightforward guy, always a sense of humour, but also a very caring person," said Samantha Majhor, niece of the former 1050 CHUM disc jockey and host of Citytv's Toronto Rocks.

Girls Aloud "Oooh!"

Girls Aloud have topped my 'best of' list for a second year in a row. This year they did it with their 'Greatest Hits Special Edition' and their first single from it 'Something Kinda Oooh!' Other highlights includes the fab 'Money', a cover version of 'I Predict a Riot' (originally from the Kaiserchiefs) and another cover version of Tiffany's 'I Think We're Alone Now'.

(This is the regular CD. The double 'Special Edition' is actually pink).
