ASHLEY IS ON TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also. caty cole has said on her facebook 5 hours ago ashley hasnt decided to leave elite yet and thinks its odd bluebird have annonced it with out ashley's confirmation which does explain why ashley is on tonight

Well if that's true, and Ashley has not signed any contract with BlueBird yet.

THEN WHAT THE HELL IS BLUEBIRD PLAYING AT STARTING THIS THREAD.

Are they deliberately trying to undermine Elite, because they see them as there biggest rival for their new channels. If so it's an underhanded way of doing things.

Be fun if Ashley said something to that effect on the show tonight.
Leave the Bluebird guy with something nasty on his face!

Elite will respond with more new talent and who knows maybe they will unearth another Danica or Ashley or Anna. Bluebird will find their own new talent and the competition could prove healthy and push the boundaries back to levels we saw last Summer. What would be great is if the powers at Bluebird and Elite collectively agreed to 'take on' Offcon and challenge their perception of what is and isn't acceptable! Yeah, I know,pie in the sky. If Playboy weren't willing to take Offcon on and see them in court........

Bluebird aren't interested in healthy competition. Neither are they interested in joining forces with anyone to take on Ofcom.

Purely and simply, Bluebird are out to control the market. Obliterating the competition will be at the forefront of their plans rather than any healthy rivalry.

Getting into babe channels gives them a foot into the glamour arena. Girls like Ashley Emma will join them knowing that appearing on their babeshows won't mean they'll necessarily have to go down the porn route.

Until now, the kind of money on offer from Bluebird could really have only been obtained from doing porn stuff. All that's about to change.

The market is open to anyone with enough money to set up a channel and employ the girls. If they want to pay more to get the girls they want then so be it. I don't share your 'obliteration' view and surely Bluebird can only offer more money if the business model warrants it and without the porn where will the extra revenue come in? Are there hordes of callers out there waiting for Bluebird to revolutionise the babe channels and pay even more than Elite currently charges? I think Bluebird is looking to change things, push the boundaries, perhaps do what Elite does but different and better, get more of our favourites to do porn as that is where the real revenue is and where the big money is for the girls. How long did we have to wait for websites to be up and running for various Elite stars? Where is the Danica site she was plugging last October? Don't think the Elite way is the only way. Jamie did and still does some great stuff and his eye for girls is second to none but there are many instances of things that appear unprofessional or at least smack of questionable judgement (Carmen?). Nobody is perfect but things change and it is how others respond that counts. A major shakeup? Yes. World domination? I think not.

since its from caty cole herself that ashley hasnt decided then its pretty likely its true as her and ashley are clearly friends away from the elite studios also agree its very dodgy and poor that bluebird have announced ashley joining them when ashley hasnt decided herself yet if she is going. its very poor that bluebird are trying this underhanded method of beating one of their "rivals" they should do that by fair means

It's like the football transfer market, one club says one thing to unsettle the transfer target, the current club responds with something and so it goes on for a few days/weeks. By then the target gets too confused to know what's best for it anyway, and goes for what talks best........MONEY.

No disrespect to Ashley, if that's how it sounds, and she knows I wouldn't be like that anyway. In fact I wouldn't blame her in any way whatsoever for going where the money is. Afterall a career in this game, glamour or adult, can be shortlived or can be fairly lengthy, given Ashley's attitude & determination, her career will no doubt be lengthy. Whatever she decides to do, I just hope that she thinks it all through thoroughly and does what is right for herself.

She can't leave now she is marrying the cameraman!

agree ashley needs to think very carefully and decide what is right for her caty cole wants ashley to stay and hopefully ashley will think this as well

Well if the last few weeks are anything to go by, it'll definately be entertaining to watch Bluebird put these channels together... its like 'Chat Back' all over again!

Yes the market is open to anyone with enough money to buy a babe channel but Bluebird are way and above anyone who's got involved in it previously.

The girls on a phone every night probably won't make them a huge amount of money. Their websites may just do. And if some of them do decide to make the crossover into porn then even better for them.

The Elite way most certainly isn't the only way though they did shake up what had become a pretty moribund scene at that time. However, Elite like the other babe channels at the moment are bound by financial constraints. It doesn't apply to Bluebird who are already a worldwide business. It's a bit like, say, Everton trying to compete with Man City.

And look at the way Elite operate compared to this mob. Almost the first anyone knew Caty had joined Elite was when she popped up on screen on her first night. This Bluebird Official is officially announcing girls have left seemingly before they've even decided.

Smacks of a company out to dominate the market it seems to me. We shall see but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the existing babe channels are no more come this time next year.

Good god, this is even more confusing than Anna's move to Bluebird. Hmmm, anyone else notice a pattern emerging here? To be honest, I think the way Mr Bluebird has gone about doing things on here in recent weeks just seems very unprofessional.
