In celebration of my 1000th Tweet, and because it’s Friday, I’m giving away one copy of Girl, Aloud. All you need to do is leave a comment saying “Pick Me!” PLUS the song you would choose to sing in front of Simon Cowell if you were auditioning for The X Factor (that bit is just for fun). I will put all the entries into a special homemade Girl, Aloud competition-entry receptacle (project to keep children amused today) and draw one at random. This competition is open to ANYONE, ANYWHERE in the world. I’ll pick the winner next Friday (4th December). Please spread the word!

UPDATE! The competition will close at midday (Australian time) Friday 4th December.

Kass Kennedy is in trouble. Her manically up-and-down dad has finally lost it – he’s entered her for The X Factor. This would be slightly less of a crisis if:

a) she could sing

b) any tiny bit of her wanted to be a star, and

c) she hadn’t lost her two best friends over a boy in brown boots.

Somehow Kass must get out of it with her sanity, friendships and family still intact.
