March 13 - Sylvia Shemwell Died, John Wilkinson Broke His Arm

Sylvia Shemwell passed away on February 13, 2010. She was an original member of The Sweet Inspirations and stopped touring with the group in 2001 due to a stroke. 


John Wilkinson broke a bone in his left arm ("on the bad side of his body") falling down a staircase while waiting for an ambulance to arrive because he did not feel very well. 





Mattel, owner of the world famous Barbie dolls, announces a follow up for the recent succesful releases of the 'Jailhouse Rock' and 'Elvis and Priscilla' dolls.

The toy tycoon will launch a doll in a 'Blue Hawaii' theme, available in May. The price is estimated at €45 and that is a lot cheaper than previous releases.
