…one Eurostar is heading for Kids’ TV fame, and another walked off the Eurovision stage and down the aisle?
…a partnership that was thought to be ending isn’t, while a past bronze medalist has got a new job?
…Iceland‘s María Ólafs took on the part of Stephanie in LazyTown this weekend? This happened in Stykkishólmur, a small town in West Iceland. And she will get to reprise the part this Saturday, participating in the LazyTown marathon, which is the children‘s 3k during Reykjavik marathon and Reykjavik Culture night.
This LazyTown stint is originally supposed to be a twice off for María, but as she said to the newspaper Vísir on Friday; If these performances go well, perhaps I get to play Stephanie again in the future.“
…2015 Eurovision winner , Måns Zelmerlöv, just keeps winning and winning ? Last week saw the annual Rockbjörnen (Rock bear) awards being presented, and Måns claimed two of the prestigous statues; for Swedish Song of the Year (for „Heroes“, of course) and Live Male Performer of the Year. It is Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet that organizes Rockbjörnen, and the winners are decided by their readers voting.
After participating 7 times in Melodifestivalen, hosting MF once, representing Sweden once in Eurovision and commenting for SVT from Vienna (puh…) she will take over as host for the very popular sing-along tv-show „Allsång på Skansen“ (Sing-along at Skansen), Aftonbladet reports. SVT has not confirmed the news, saying the new host will be announced some time in the fall.
Sanna will not be the first Eurovision related „Allsång“-host; the legendary host Lasse Berghagen (1994 – 2003) represented Sweden in the 1975 contest with „Jennie, Jennie“, and from 2011 to 2013 the show was hosted by none other than Måns Zelmerlöv!
We’ll be back soon, to find out if you have heard…?
