"If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want," Mariah Carey once proclaimed. "You're gonna make it happen." Mazza clearly listened to her own advice, becoming the best-selling female artist of the nineties, but what if your aims are a bit more modest? What if you just wanna have some fun? Well, let Gay Spy make it happen for you: here's our seven-day guide to fun, frolics and feelin' good.


Monday

What’s happening? Leona Lewis' new single 'Bleeding Love' is available for preview at a popular showbiz, media and entertainment news website.

Why should you care? The X Factor warbler's spent nine months making sure her debut album doesn't do a Steve Brookstein. Is its lead single worth the wait? Well, that might depend upon your fondness for late nineties Mariah...


Tuesday

What’s happening? ITV2 goes Ghosthunting With The Dingles at 9pm.

Why should you care? Yvette Fielding succeeded in draining the colour from Girls Aloud's perma-tanned faces last time she searched for spirits on ITV2. We reckon she'll repeat the trick with Emmerdale's scuzziest family.


Wednesday

What’s happening? Heroes continues at 9pm on BBC Two.

Why should you care? The further the fantasy drama series progresses, the more enthralling it becomes. We're not too offended by Milo Ventimiglia's swoonsome good looks, either.


Thursday

What’s happening? Gwen Stefani begins the UK leg of her 'Sweet Escape' tour at Glasgow's SECC Arena. Nine further dates across the UK and Ireland follow.

Why should you care? If you can put up with 10,000 people hollering "Woowhoo, yeewhoo" in your ear hole, Gwen's second solo jaunt should be pretty fun.


Friday

What’s happening? I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry opens in the nation's cinemas.

Why should you care? This Adam Sandler comedy is essentially The Birdcage in reverse: two straight New Yorkers must pretend to be gay to fool the authorities.


Saturday

What’s happening? Shayne Ward plays London's G-A-Y club night.

Why should you care? Hmm. The 'No U Hang Up' video might offer a few clues.


Sunday

What’s happening? London's Hard Rock Cafe hosts a listening party for the new Melissa Etheridge album.

Why should you care? You'll hear The Awakening - the Oscar-winning guitar-strummer's ninth album - the day before it hits the shelves. And you'll pay sod all for the privilege. Perfect, no?
