* The latest Luv' vlog was posted earlier this week on the group's YouTube channel. You can see the ladies having lots of fun during a fitting prior to their recent interview on SBS 6's infotainment program "6 Inside". Then they relaxed and went crazy with Brigitte Vis (in charge of the concert bookings in the Netherlands).

* Wednesday is the day when Dutch celebrity gossip magazines hit the stores. Since Chimène van Oosterhout's arrival, the tabloid press has found inspiration again. Celebrity columnists often use sensationalism to write articles about Holland's greatest girl group. Luv' appear in the latest issues of three weekly publications:

- They grace the cover of  "Party" with a headline that says "Chimène demands peace in Luv'! Otherwise, she'll leave the group". Actually, Luv's new member is not the kind of person who has such demands! Her first show with Luv' last month was her baptism of fire. Chimène was a bit nervous. "I didn't have time to think about all the details. Prior to my recruitment as a Luv' singer, music was just a hobby and I never did it professionally," she told. Chimène confirmed the fact that new material would be released. "We'll use a new sound. I see so much talent in José and Marga. It could lead to many possibilities. With Ria, there were many performances but the group was quiet. Luv' means teamwork and the three singers have to be 100% involved in it. I give Luv' my input and my enthusiasm. We could record new songs with a contemporary style," she added. Chimène considers José and Marga as real friends. "I knew the ladies before I joined the group. We clicked immediately. Our bond is special and is not fake. Everybody tells us: "You belong together very well!" That's what I feel too," Chimène explained. 

- Weekend magazine features a beautiful picture of Luv' on the red carpet during the recent premiere of Dutch musical "Op Hoop Van Zegen" at the Zaantheater in Zaandam, Netherlands. 

- Privé (sister magazine of De Telegraaf) includes an article written by Jan Uriot about Luv's probable collaboration with Miami-based producer Keith Morrison. Luv's first producer Hans van Hemert (who launched the trio in 1977) is also mentioned due to his conflict with Marga Scheide about the group's name. "We are very satisfied with Keith Morrison. Three years ago we had plans to record new songs. These plans are now reactivated. We got in touch with Keith via our friend Henk Schorel. He runs the multimedia company Viva Canal. Next month, we'll fly to Miami to record our new single. Isn't it nice?" Marga said.
