Glastonbury literally rocked my core this year. Here is a collage I've put together which pretty much sums it up!...

Can you spot the following?
The frogÌýwho wants to be kissed? Edith Bowman and Reggie Yates? An astonishing headress worn by Karen O of the ? Carrots? Yourself or someone you know in the crowd!?
After weeks of speculation Gemma unveiled her tribute track to Trevor Nelson 'The Nelson Skank' this morning on the show.
The biggest tune of the summer features Sean Paul, Donaeo, Gracious K, KIG Family, JLS, Fr3e, Melanie Fiona, Desperado, Eddie Kadi, Rampage, Max, Mistajam, Ace & Vis and of course Gemma - over a beat by Crazi Cousins with production from Sony Gold-winning Patrick McDowall.

All together now - rub ya bal head, rub ya ball head, rub ya bal head
Last night I came home from a delicious fish dinner, trying to mentally prepare for my first live tv appearance at this year's Glastonbury. I switched the telly feeling weirdly nostalgic for no reason at all - they were discussing the ´óÏó´«Ã½ expenses debate on ´óÏó´«Ã½2, it was surreal to see the 1Xtra logo dangling in the background along with all the others. I had a private moment where I felt proud to be attached to the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s newest, freshest radio station and working with black music supremo Trevor Nelson...
Suddenly the feature was interrupted with the news that Michael Jackson had been rushed to hospital. I wasn't affected until she reavealed that it was a 'serious' cardiac arrest... I sat gobsmacked, alone infront of the telly and it lead into a feature on the turbulent current state in Iran. The world is in a sad state, I thought to myself, really seriously and I text an old friend who I was having some problems with and called a genuine truce. It was accepted and within a few more texts it was official that Michael Jackson had infact died... I went to bed confused and sad.
To everyone that is feeling weird, and reflective, and upset.. I know how ya feel! Thank you all so much for texts and memories on the show this morning. But on a personal note, I can't think of anyone that I'd rather experience such a show with then Trevor Nelson and a place I'd rather go to celebrate music then Glastonbury.
Had a mad weekend. After flying back from a crazy gig just outside Dublin on friday night at a place called Time in Naas, I ended the weekend at an even madder place : Lords the home of cricket. Boring you may think? Nope - fast, funny, entertaining and the best atmosphere. Twenty20 Cricket is hot and Pakistan proved it by becoming World Champions. There was music, dancin and lots of drama. I loooooved it. Trust me girls you should try...
Regarding nails, I didn't even realise that I mustÌýhave been influenced by Jordin Sparks when she came in a couple of week ago! Look in the gallery of 'OUR PHOTOS' of me enviously pointing at her gorgeous turquoise nails! Forgot all about that! Thank you for sending in some of totally fab talons.. Here were my fave..
ÌýJohn Hamer who owns a nail shop in Manchester, sent us this fine example!
Sabreena is workin it...
ÌýLast but not least, Jen's dedicated fashionista toes!
Right so seeing as I was trying to experiment with a new look in NY, let me know what you think of the wigs that I tried out at a giant wig shop, where you had to pay $2 for a wig cap, just so that you could try them on!
Janinie's interpretation of my wig personaility: "I fell Off The Pole Last Night"
Janine's interpretation of my wig personailty:Where My Baby Daddy At
?
Mistajam's interpretation of my wig personality: They tried to make me go to rehab I said NO
Mistajam's interpretation of my wig personoality: Go Ricky! Go Ricky!
Let me know what you think and feel free to send me your wig snaps, becuase they fun! 1xbreakfast@bbc.co.uk
Dev met the youngest ever F1 champ Lewis Hamilton today on the 1Xtra Breakfast Show.
Lewis talked about being with Nicole, told us he's about to start shooting a movie to be out end of 2010 and let out a few secrets about his superstar friends Kanye and Pharrell.
Plus he was an all round jolly lovely shiny chap and had everyone in the 1Xtra and Radio 1 studios smiling.

TV ledge Jerry Springer was on the Breakfast Show today chatting to Dev about his new role in musical Chicago, the weirdest ever America's Got Talent stunts, what he thinks of Jeremy Kyle and why he thinks he may be going to hell!
(I don't know why its always me and Gemma that end up doing all the weird stuff for the show BUT...) I just got back from a lovely afternoon watching Gemma eat some very unusual dishes! She chomped down on Bone Marrow, Ox Heart, Duck Gizzards and Tripe....
I had a go but I'm not as brave as she, and the tripe was just too much (feel a tad sick). At least I turned up tho - which is better than Twin B lol
I was excited to go into work this morning, because it was my first Breakfat show with Twin B! Was a little disappionted by his moves though... Not energetic enough? Have a look to see one of the oddest Breakfast Boogies yet!..
Gem Xx
P.S Dev isn't dead btw, just resisting my charms...
