Nikki Phillips on the RSPCA Guardian Angel Celebrity Campaign
"On Wednesday 27th October we ventured out to the Yagoona Shelter to put my idea into action: My main reason for doing this video, is to show people that you don't just have to have the pressure of adopting, that is not the only way you can help, you can foster, donate or lend a helping hand by walking the animals. Alot of people tend to turn a blind eye to the shelter, as it's easy to get upset at the amount of animals needing homes, but by making this video and showing the all the different breads of animals and amazing job that the RSPCA does to look after and cater for these animal, will hopefully bring awareness for people to be involved or at least think of adopting rather then buying from farmed pet stores and puppy mills.
With a project like this you always need help and I was thrilled with the amazing Australian celebrites that jumped on board to help share this message."
All animals you see are up for adoption and can be viewed at www.rspcansw.org.au

Album Review: Erika, Sweeter Side
Erika Heynatz is a model, and television host. In short, the type of person that just shouldn’t be releasing an album, but is usually given every opportunity to do so. From the beginning there have been signs that this isn’t just another attempt to merchandise Erika-the-brand.
Firstly, she quit a high-profile job as host of Australia’s Next Top Model to focus on her forays into singing. Secondly, she proved on It Takes Two that she has a legitimately powerful and emotive voice, easily winning the celebrity singing competition, even beating out Ailsa from Home and Away. The main proof, however, is in the pudding and Sweeter Side shows that Heynatz knows what she is doing.
First track All That You Wish For blasts out of the gate with a surprisingly uptempo stomp, sounding like it could sit comfortably on Natalie Imbruglia’s Left On The Middle album. Kingdom is slightly more schmaltzy, but as a power ballad it is top-shelf. Following track Holding On ups the syrup-levels even more, with a great string arrangement and lyric anchoring the song.
Elsewhere Erika toys with different variations on the pop theme, with Bullet employing a Lily Allen-strut, while secretly being better than any of the songs off Allen’s latest effort. I Don’t Want To Wait shares both a lyrical phrase and a similar sound to the Paula Cole Dawson’s Creek theme song. Any number of these songs could be synced to any number of American coming-of-age films, and this late ‘90s pop sound that runs through the album is refreshing.
Heynatz could have easily made a dance-driven, auto-tuned, Guetta-infused album and comfortably hit the higher rungs of the charts, but she seems more focused on deliver a quality, lasting record. She is gorgeous, there is no doubting that. But this album shows that she is also a talented singer and songwriter. This is what she should be doing. Luckily, she has realised this too.
