Ekstra Bladet (Danish pronunciation: [ˈɛɡsdʁɐˌblæˀð]) is a Danish tabloid newspaper focusing on sensationalist^[1][2] stories. It gets a share of its income from sex ads.^[3] Since 1979 it has always had a partly or completely naked woman on page nine which is referred to as Side 9 Pigen ("The Page 9 Girl"),^[4][5] a Danish equivalent of the English Page Three girl. The current editor is Poul Madsen, who on September 6, 2007 replaced Hans Engell.^[6]

The political leaning of the newspaper might traditionally be viewed as social-liberal (as it is an offspring of Politiken), but it would probably be more accurate to say that the newspaper considers itself in opposition to anyone in a position of power (a watchdog),^[2] and the defender of the ordinary man.^{[1][citation needed]}

Ekstra Bladet's readership and circulation have declined from 2008 to 2010.^[7]

Ekstra Bladet application rejected by Apple's App Store[link]

In December 2010 Ekstra Bladet editor-in-chief Poul Madsen threatened to complain to the European Court of Justice after its submission of an application to Apple's App Store was rejected.^[8] Madsen claimed the application was deemed offensive, and in an editorial described Apple as being an "American nanny".^[9]

Ida Corr (born March 14, 1977 in Århus, Denmark) is a Danish singer, songwriter and music producer.

Career[link]

At the age of 11 Corr won the first Danish Children Songcontest (Børne Melodi Grand Prix "MGP").^[1] As a young adult she started singing background on tours and in the studio for Danish artists such as Gnags, Sanne Salomonsen, Thomas Helmig and Rasmus Nøhr.^[1]

In 2002 Ida became known to the Danish public as a member of the short-lived girlgroup Sha Li Mar, consisting of Christina Undhjem, Engelina and Ida herself. The group regularly performed on the prime time television show Venner for livet (literally "Friends forever"). They released a self-titled album in the same year.^[2] In 2004 Corr collaborated with house producer Morten Trust on I Put My Faith in You a moderately popular dance hit.

Ida rose to fame in her native Denmark in 2005 with the release of her debut album Streetdiva and in 2006 with her follow-up album Robosoul. After creating a special song with Dutch DJ Fedde le Grand as part of the Live Earth set of international music concerts, her popularity began to spread outside of her homeland. The song, entitled Mirror 07-07-07, was played at exactly seven minutes past the seventh hour of the seventh day of the seventh month of 2007. In 2007 she received exposure in the Netherlands due to her second collaboration with Fedde le Grand, and her most recent self-written single, remixed by Fedde le Grand, Let Me Think About It spread to wider Europe quickly. It's the best-selling single outside Denmark from a Danish singer since the Danish bands Aqua and Infernal. In 2008 Ida released the compilation album One in Scandinavia. The single Let Me Think About It continued its success and reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Airplay. One was released in the United States on August 26, 2008 as the first release on the new founded label Ministry of Sound America. A release in Russia and Germany followed quickly afterwards.

Ida Corr was also member of the band called SugaRush Beat Company, that has performed on Later... with Jools Holland in 2008 with a debut album being released in September 2008. Other members of the London-based group were Australian-born producer/multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Jarrad 'Jaz' Rogers and US soul singer/songwriter Rahsaan Patterson.^[3]

In January 2009 Ida received an award for Best-Selling-Artist from Denmark selling music in Europe at the European Border Breakers Awards in Groningen^[4] In April 2009 Corr released a musicvideo to Ride My Tempo simultaneously to a single release in Germany.^[5] A month later a new single for Scandinavia called Time premiered to Danish radios, taken from her fourth album, Under The Sun.^[6] The leading single from the album became I Want You. A musicvideo however was only shot for the Jason Gault Mix. In December the title song Under The Sun, which features guest vocals by Jamaican singer Shaggy was released as a single. On December 16, 2009 Ida participated at one of the Climate change concerts in Copenhagen. Alongside Simon Mathew she performed their duet Illusion, which was written for the World Wide Fund for Nature Climate campaign.

In January 2011 Ida collaborated with Kato, Camille Jones and Johnson on the Danish-language dance single Sjus. The song debuted at number 1 on the Danish Single charts.^[7] She also released a single called, What Goes Around Comes Around in 2011.
