Any opinions or suggestions please 'hollar at me' (Felt funny writing that but I'm trying to get bloggish..)

p.s I heart Friday's..

So they took the Breakfast Boogie to the next level today!!! Producer Julie took the Breakfast Boogie and plucked it from it's private obscurity and filmed the whole darn thing!.......

A friend recently said to me :
"You know when you do the Breakfast Boogie? Do you actually boogie????"
The answer is.....

Can you guess what we're dancing to?

PS Mistajam has finally posted pics of ...

Here is a picture of our lovely Trevor Nelson at last year's Mobo's (check out the set matches our blog!?) that we found in a mag...

You may not be able to read the tiny, cut off text at the bottom... It reads this:

"Just incase you have wondered, what do they really mean when they say smart casual? Have a look at Trevor Nelson and that's what they mean. There is no tie with the shirt yet the shirt is crisp. No Blazer with the trousers, but there are trousers. Smart quality leather jacket to finish off the look - with matching belt and shoes. Good to go."

Made me chuckle as smart casual is one of those phrases that has always been hard to define... What do you reckon??

Its my first blog brooop broop. Well I have just returned from a hot overindulged 2 week break in St Lucia the temporary home of Amy Winehouse. I didn't hook up with her although my mate was living 2 doors away, forget the press reports I heard it all from the Lucian residents. Boy she has left a bit of Camden town all over the island!!!

Anyway I got a little fat cruising around and nearly bumped into the biggest yacht i have ever seen 'Le Grand Bleu' (it used to belong to Roman Abramovich). It had another yacht, a mini submarine, a helicopter and a massive aquarium. I couldnt get too close as security was sick.

Still jet lagged - It was really hard getting up for work today! But love the new Swizz Beats we played on the show today.

It's Oscars Day on the 1Xtra Breakfast show. Check these out, plus there's loads more coming later!

• Our amazing interview with Dev Patel, which you can download and keep for free


• Watch our tribute to Brad Pitt's new movie, as our very own Dev stars in The Curious Case of Dev
  
  
• Gemma's verdict on Oscars fashion - hot or not, you decide!
  

So, my verdict on the Oscars red carpet attire...

Mickey Rourke

Cream ensemble gets a thumbs up as far as I'm concerned!?.. I know I'm a weirdo..

Sarah Jessica Parker

SJP can do no wrong in the eyes of a lady seduced by fashion (me)... I really like the belt.

Alicia Keys

Dress = fantastico, accessories = fantastico BUT Hair, make and barbie vibe= She doesn't look like Alicia Keys???

Often I read fash mags and they moan when girl's dress to old for their age, I think certain somebodies at the Oscars need to be nagged at for exactly this! Miley Cyrus was wearing a dress that was surely designed with idea of Helen Mirren in mind!?..

OH AND.. What about these couple of chumps?

The funniest thing about taking this pic outside our offices is that there were real Pap's outside.. Dev was really embarassed! But the Paps couldn't care less and looked at us like aliens! He he...

Good to be back, more mischief to be had...

p.s Dear Mistajam, please post the pics of The Brits on your blog as promised...

So 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' picked up 3 Oscars on Sunday night.

It's a weird fairytale which sees Brad Pitt age in reverse. Check the trailer

But who needs Hollywood superstars and award winning special effects?
Watch 'The Curious Case of Dev' to see what happened when Dev awoke in the Breakfast Studio one morning under unusual circumstances....

Multi Oscar winning 'Slumdog Millionaire' catapulted Dev Patel into Hollywood stardom and onto the front pages of the tabloids.

Trevor & Gemma caught up with him at the start of January just as all the madness was beginning to talk sex scenes, Danny Boyle and his new found fame.

Celeb stalker Sarah Jane hit Estelle's exclusive Brits After Party this week. And she didn't forget her camera!

She sniffed out three of the hottest boys in the game : Kano, Bashy and Twin Bizzle. But who's rocking the best style?

Kano : Designer scarf, jacket, smouldering eyes

Bashy : Brown hoodie & biblical beard

Twin B : Hat, lots of layers, bleary eyes

So who won in the style stakes?

The Simpsons has refreshed its title sequence after 19 years of pretty much the same thing every single week. And here it is.. (My fav bit is Apu's babies)

What do you reckon? And how many differences did you spot?

Its like a fairytale. Dev penned a tribute to his childhood hero . Dave heard it, loved it and came into the Breakfast Show to perform his ansaback. Phew - Dev nearly cried...(and then got a bit hot when he had to explain his comments about DBP's belly)

Here's the finale of Dave's ansaback to Dev.

Hear how the whole show went down and both freestyles in full here

1Xtra favourite Noel Clarke picked up the Rising Star Award on Sunday night - the only BAFTA voted for by the public so you know his internet game is strong! (Noel on the red carpet about his outfit : "its not a cravat its a scarf darlin" - quality)

He visited us on the Breakfast show a few weeks back to talk about his nomination and Gemma spent most of the time angling for a bit part in his next movie! Cheeky!!!!!

Now all the ladies at 1Xtra love Noel Clarke so i thought I'd give you a chance to see him on fine form in his 1Xtra listener Q&A about his biggest film so far Adulthood.

Watch Noel here

(sigh)

I have found hosting the breakfast show with Dev so far, both an interesting and and joyous experience...

So far I have found out these things:

1. He has the ability to go off on tangents... (which I like alot cos I'm like that too...) Today, he chose Wookie as his Hat trick hero... It very quicky became WOOKIE IDOL! Where two listeners were more than happy to oblige and call with their best Wookie (star Trek character) impressions!

2. He fancies Grammy award winning Adele...

3. He likes the track that I played for my Alternative Jam last week...
'Fancy Footwork' Chromeo - CSS remix.

p.s I think Adele look beautiful at the Grammy's BTW...

What did I discover when I investigated everyone in the building this morning's chosen brekkie??....

TIME WHEN PICTURES WERE TAKEN 7.00AM

Good start from our Broadcast assistant, Rosanna!

A gross breakfast - Greg also from the 1xtra news team.

A varied selection from Dev, even though it does look more like a packed lunch...

Things were getting weird when I discovered that Janine's (our laughing Producer) choice was a Tuna baguette!??

And Tina (of 1xtra News fame) was munching on some weird chocolate that I'd never seen before!??? TO GO WITH....

Two Perfectly boiled eggs?? Super weird...

What do you eat at 7am??

p.s this blog entry was inspired by... my new found love for eating in the morning!
