FOLLOWING its success with big screen Christmas romantic comedy The Holiday, film giant Paramount has given a Southam-pton communications agency the contract to promote its next smash Dreamgirls.

Starring pop diva Beyonce Knowles and Beverley Hills Cop star Eddie Murphy, Dreamgirls follows a trio of singers from a talent competition to chart fame.

Headstream, a specialist Internet agency which is part of the Grosvenor Square based Lawton Communications, has been given the brief to promote the eight times Oscar nominated hit online.

Kate Williams, of Headstream, said: "It is great to work with such progressive clients who really understand the importance and value of online PR. It helps that they're great fun to work with."
