Shrek 3
www.shrek3.com
For those of us who laughed out loud at the antics of an animated ogre and a talking donkey will be delighted to hear that Shrek The Third has arrived. Shrek is making a return to our cinema screens this June but if you would like an early fix of the animated sequel, Shrek3.com is the site to visit.
Complete with video clips and movie trailers, screensavers and wallpapers, games and soundtrack extracts, this site should keep your kids entertained.
You can even create your own e-cards, test your memory with Shrek's memory game and SuDoku game.
You can also create and colour images featuring Shrek and his friends. The site has been designed to follow through the theme of the movie; it has been design using FLASH so you will need the latest flash player installed on your machine.
There is plenty of fun content but the site creators seem to have forgotten that Shrek has adult fans too.
Big Brother
www.channel4.com/bigbrother/
Big Brother, you either love it or you hate it but as dodgy as this series started, it is gripping the nation.
Whether or not we believe that watching 15 arguably talentless, fame-hungry wannibies compete against one another on national television, is entertainment, we can't deny it is appealing and somewhat addictive to some. This Big Brother is distinguished by the fact that Big Brother gets nasty something those who love and loathe can appreciate.
Anything you could possibly want to know about the antics in the Big Brother house is on this site.
It contains a comprehensive and regularly updated news section, plenty of pictures and a live webcam. There are also special sections on the nominations and the BBLB show.
If you want to share your opinions with fellow BB enthusiasts then join the Big Brother community and make the most of the live chats and forums.
