Bring the Disco to Your Desktop

Don't you just love the weekends? It is the time that you can dress up or dress down and you can enjoy the night and you do not have to worry about waking up early the following morning. After all, you do need a pretty good rest because the main thing that you love doing during the weekend is going to the disco and dancing the night away. With all that stress at work, dancing surely just melts it all away and you are recharged.

But of course you cannot go to the disco every day of your life. It is also important that you work because you do need the money that comes with it. But you sure do think that life would be far better if we all could disco and get money for doing it. You do feel that you have been born to be part of this and you just do not want the music to stop.

Now there is no need to stop the music and there is no need to put out those wonderful lights. The disco can be brought right to your desktop and you can do that easily. Yes, that is right. All you need is the Desktop Disco and the disco fever stays with you even while you work. Oh just imagine working with this gadget right with you. Sure enough, you will be more than energized that you will definitely breeze through the day without even noticing where the time went.

Boogie Down in Disco Diva Style

Disco might be dead, but the spirit definitely isn't. Just because you never made it through the doors of Studio 54 doesn't mean you can't enjoy a little bit of the disco life; with the right beats and the perfect disco-fabulous costume, dancing the night away is just as much fun now as it was in the 70's!

The disco era is probably one of the most mocked when it comes to the fashions. Men wore suits with huge lapels and bell-bottom pants, while women dressed in wild outfits with bright patterns, and wore heavy makeup. Certainly today the clothes seem over the top; they were outrageous to be sure, but it was a truly outrageous era, and anyone who lived it can tell you it was also an incredibly fun time.

In the late 70's Disco fever was at its height, and people from all walks of life dressed up in their best and headed out to spend the night boogying at clubs across the country. The dance floor wasn't just a showcase for your Saturday Night fever inspired dance moves - it was also a place to see and be seen, and take in the sight of people dressed in some of the wildest outfits ever to grace a dance floor.

Jay-Z faces protests over renovation work on his New York nightclub

Jay-Z has been criticised over the handling of renovation work on his New York '40/40 Club'.

The city's District Council Of Carpenters has set up giant inflatable rats outside the club in protest over "substandard wage" conditions and the fact union workers aren't being used for the job. Protestors have also set up a huge banner which reads, 'Shame On The '40/40 Club' (Jay-Z) For Hurting New York City'.

The union is claiming that the company which was hired to make renovations to the building, Conelle Construction Corp, "does not meet area labour standards, including providing or fully paying for family healthcare and pension for all of its carpenter craft employees."

They are holding Jay-Z responsible saying the rapper "has an obligation to see that area labour standards are met for construction work on their future location."

But a spokesperson for the club told gossip site TMZ it is a non-union building and they are not required to use union contractors. They also said some protestors have been using "racial slurs against the workers, to try intimidate people and scare away business".

The '40/40 Club' is scheduled to re-open on November 1

Conrad Murray's lawyers appeal over jury isolation decision in Michael Jackson trial

Lawyers for Michael Jackson's doctor are appealing against a decision not to isolate the jury in the forthcoming manslaughter trial.

Attorneys for Dr Conrad Murray urged the sequestering of the jury because of fears that massive media coverage could influence them.

But Judge Michael Pastor who will oversee the trial, said he didn't think it would be necessary and said it would be unlikely the Los Angeles court system would be able to afford it, with costs likely to exceed $500,000 (£308,000). He also said it would be difficult to cut members of the jury off from their families.

Jury selection officially begins on Thursday (September 8) and the trial is set to get under way later this month, reports Perezhilton.com.

Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. He faces up to four years in prison if convicted.

The trial will take place more than two years after Jackson's death from an overdose of a powerful anesthetic used as a sleeping aid.

Prince on the brink of $4 million (£2.4 million) payout to perfume company

Prince is facing the prospect of being forced to pay almost $4 million (£2.4 million) by a perfume company that claims he failed to help promote the '3121' fragrance named after his 2006 album.

A New York judge has recommended the singer pay the amount to Revelations Perfume And Cosmetics Inc, but the sum will have to be confirmed by a second judge.

The company said it licensed the musician's name, likeness and the album title to market its fragrance and that he broke promises to help promote the scent after its launch in July 2007.

It also claims Prince's refusal to give interviews and stage in-store events forced the cancellation of the licensing agreement because the fragrance failed to meet its minimum sales requirements.

But the singer's lawyer told the New York Law Journal he will fight to ensure he doesn't have to pay compensation. The lawsuit was first filed in November 2008.
