Face of EntertainmentWise 2013 and Rodial team up for most successful year yet! It's over for another year! The Face of EntertainmentWise 2013 has proved to be the most successful yet, and we are proud to announce this year's winner is Olivia Cox!

Designer and author Pearl Lowe, who joined socialite and food blogger Emma McQuiston, handbag designer Jack French and Giant Digital bossAndy Day to select the new presenter of our fashion section, said: "I thought the level of talent was really high. I've been in the same position as the finalists before, and understand how difficult it is to audition and I thought that they were all really great. Unfortunately there could only be one winner, but it was a fantastic day." Ten acts turned up to the decadent Century Club in London's Soho yesterday afternoon, where they were grilled by the judges, who certainly had a difficult decision to make due to the huge amount of talent within each audition, before unanimously crowning Olivia the winner! Olivia will now host a weekly fashion show as well as gain promotion of her blog.

The competition gives the chance for budding presenters to kick start their career by presenting for one of the biggest online entertainment news sites in the UK. Anyone can enter, entrants need to upload a 2 minute video showcasing their presenting skills, all of which will be carefully considered by our panel.

Each entrant will get their very own profile along with a star rating system where users will be able to rate their talents.

The competition will launch on the 8th April 2013 and will close at 12 noon 10th May 2013.

Finalists will be judged by a panel of celebrity fashion experts.

Gigwise are proud to be the only non-print publication nominated for 'Best Music Media Brand' in The Music Week Awards 2013. The other finalists in the same category are Classic Rock, Gigwise, The Fly, Kerrang, Mojo, NME and Q.

This will be the first time a non print publication has been selected as a finalist for this category. Michael Baggs, Gigwise Editor said: “To be recognized alongside some of the biggest and most respected names in UK music publications is a brilliant result for Gigwise, especially as the only nominee without a print edition. Everyone who contributes to the website is extremely pleased with the MusicWeek nomination.”

Gigwise presents got underway with Newcastle rockers Shields taking the headline slot with support from Good Dangers to a packed out crowd at the Shacklewell Arms in London on Tuesday evening.  

A band filling to the brim with beautifully crafted guitar riffs sprinkling with a dash of sharp head thumping pop songs. Included in the set were songs like 'All I Know' and 'A Simple Answer' and of course the wowing cover of SBTRKT's 'Pharaohs'.

Yes, the one and only cheeky chappy cockney we all love - Danny Dyer, popped in to chat with our Entertainmentwise 'Popdash' presenter Sugapuff about his new film 'Run For Your Wife'.

  The Viscount of Weymouth’s wife to be, Emma McQueen (real name Emma McQuiston) has a new cookery show on EntertainmentWise.

The future Lady Bath, who is due to wed Viscount Weymouth next summer, trained at Lamda before undergoing an array of cooking courses. Her talent and personality has attracted the attention of online media publishers who have subsequently given her a platform to showcase her culinary genius to a worldwide audience.

Emma, who grew up between London and Wiltshire, learnt to cook from her mother who has a love for English traditional cuisine, and hails Delia Smith's ‘How to cook everything’ as her 'kitchen bible’. Her interest in the science of food, nutrition and how it affects the body brought her attention to healthy eating, to which her new show will be the main focus, along with celebrity diets and favourite English dishes.

Emma said ‘I have an insatiable curiosity for new flavours and food combinations and often host dinner parties at home so I can share food I love with people I love’

She also added ‘Though I admire Michelin chefs, I identify more with the style of those such as Jamie Oliver and I am heavily influenced by Provencal cuisine.’
