  EOnline.Com

  EOnline.com is the site associated with the television station E!, available to Foxtel subscribers. It has up to the minute Celebrity news updates, paparazzi shots of your favourite Celebs out and about, fashion pics which ask for your vote on the style factor of the outfits and much more shallow but entertaining content for your viewing pleasure. It's pretty much an online trashy magazine.

  We all have our guilty pleasures.

  Regina Spektor

  Regina Spektor is a Russian-born Jewish-American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her music is associated with the anti-folk scene centered on New York City's East Village. The 28 year olds' songs are not usually autobiographical, but rather are based on scenarios and characters drawn from her imagination. Her songs show influences from folk, punk, rock, Jewish, Russian, hip hop, jazz and classical music.

• After Dark

  Pussycat Dolls Live

  Nothing says entertainment like scantily clad girls dancing around a stage belting out catchy tunes that we have involuntarily become addicted to thanks to high rotation on the radio. Their dance routines are some of the best in the biz and they can certainly carry a tune; they're entertainers in every sense of the word. So catch their sure to be 'entertaining' show.
