Ellie is bravely running the BUPA Great North Run this year for the British Heart Foundation. You can sponsor her run over at this link! 34% of all deaths last year were as a result of cardiovascular disease and it is the biggest killer in the UK. Any donation made goes straight to the British Heart Foundation, whose research and work is invaluable in the effort to help treat and prevent heart related diseases. Donate whatever you can, no matter how small it may or may not be! Best of luck to Ellie also! Once again, here's that link!

The support acts for Ellie's massive November tour have been confirmed as Sunday Girl and Bright Light Bright Light. Both are electro-pop, so they should go down pretty well. Bright Light Bright Light's first single release is titled Love Part II, which is going to be one of the first releases on the new PopJustice Hi-Fi label! You can also check out his Under The Sheets remix on his MySpace.

For anyone wondering what happened to the song Not Following You that was one of the first tracks we heard from Ellie, well wonder no more. The song was actually re-recorded by the German solo artist Lena, aka the winner of this year's Eurovision. You can hear her version of it on spotify. If you haven't heard the original then check it out in the music player on the right of this page!

Ellie's main producer, co-writer and generally brilliant bloke Starsmith is set to film the video for his first single tomorrow. The song seems fairly certain to have Ellie as a guest vocalist on the song, not sure how much but it seems likely! Keep an eye out. The single will be taken from Starsmith's upcoming debut EP, so keep an eye out. It's bound to be pretty amazing!

BRMB Walkathon have a special charity auction on EBay for a pair of custom Nike trainers designed by Ellie and also signed by the lady herself. 100% of the proceedings go to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity. Bid here! Thanks to Laura for submitting this.

Guns & Horses entered the charts at 26, which just isn't good enough! I'm sure it'll chart higher in the next few weeks as more people hear it, but make sure you do your bit and buy it if you haven't already! Even if you've got Lights there's some smashing remixes on the release, so its worth the money. Go buy it. Now.

ps. Ellie has two singles in the top 40 and an album in the top 20, so it's definitely not a disappointment by any means! Lights actually moved up 9 places this week.
