Another highly awaited second album is from the LSF foursome. Tom Meighan recently told John Earls at Planet Sound, "We're headlining V Festival, up against Radiohead. I like Radiohead, but I'm well up for taking them on. Every band in Britain is going to be in trouble when we release our next album, it's huge." Meighan said that the new album out in July...is "the best record in the world" ..... and "no-one comes near my band. you can try all day. our new record, it s***s on everyone." Heh heh. Challenging the Kid-A's? It has to be some monster album for sure. With the cocky confidence shown by Meighan, i believe they will walk the walk. Ah aaah aaah aaah ah ah...
Graham Coxon on XFM session (27th Feb)
- I Can't Look At Your Skin
- Standing On My Own Again
'Repeated Offender' is the first shot from The Rifles sessions with producer Ian Broudie (The Zutons, The Subways). Recorded in Mickey Most's legendary RAK studio, the band that had the thumbs up from Graham Coxon. Very psychedelic tunes. Unwise to ignore.
The Stills has some great new songs! - Destroyer (acoustic) / In The Beginning (fantastic!)
Their new album - "Without Feathers" will be released on May 9th. Woo hoo!
This week, Kim & Bre settled their differences amicably. Jayla finds the statues in London weird in their poses...They will do a statuesque photoshoot. Nik did very well when the pigeons came onto her head and shoulders. Jayla did ok but overdid the serious pose. Bre, Nicole & Kim was fidgeting all over...especially Nicole who kept screaming for those pigeons to go away. Haha. She continued her wailing in the bus in front of an irritated Nik & Bre. The winner gets a 15K shopping voucher and also bring 2 friends along. Winner is Nik. She chose Bre & Jayla. Shop till you drop. Back at Savoy hotel, Nicole was in a good mood jumping about on the bed saying it was better than the one back in USA. Bre was not happy about Nicole's antics as she was not feeling well. When Bre wanted to list out her shopping list, she found out that her cereal candy box was empty...she thought Nicole was the one who did it. So Bre emptied Nicole's two red bull can drinks. Kim saw the incident.. and Bre quickly brought her down to ground ala wwe style and said not to tell Nicole abt this. Next day, Bre, Nik & Jayla went shopping...Bre asked Jayla if she knew abt candy bars but she wasn't in knowledge about it. So Bre said it really was Nicole who ate it. All 3 of them were picking and choosing clothes, bags and shoes like some celebrity. Nicole was frustrated about Bre's childish antics of emptying her energy red bull drinks. Kim also agreed that that was not the right thing to do. Photoshoot was about art.. Jayla as some old lady on a chair, Nik as time-man, Bre Mona Lisa, Nicole as Venus, Kim not sure what. Kim tried to coax Bre into paying back for the red bull drinks but found herself in deeper shit. Photoshoot -> all did quite well in their own art painting imitation. Judging time. All were asked to give a statue pose for abt a min...and the judges did all they could to clown around, make funny noises and wear fake bunny teeth. Nik & Kim handled the test quite well and the rest were uneasy by laughing around. Evaluation time -> Nik being praised for having won the pigeon shoot & time-man done very nicely. Bre looked like an African queen, Nicole horrible pigeoon shoot but had nice art-painting photo. Jayla (wearing a purple 'rio motel' t-shirt) did not do well on pigeon shoot but her art-painting one was brilliantly done with sexy outfit sitting sideways on a chair. Kim's painting photo was a bit dreamy face but was okay. When they were back in the waiting room, Bre was whining abt her actions during judging time. Bre said she was 96% going home. The order of choice...Nik..then Jayla(wooo! need to learn not to be cocky to Mr Jay) then Nicole(learn to be more subtle).....last two Bre & Kim. Tyra asked whether she wants to go home...and Bre said no...and Tyra then said -- you're not going home... Damn. Kim said her last goodbyes and learnt a lot from the experience.
Joe Cole has accidentally thrown Arctic Monkeys in the running for the England World Cup song. He was promoting the England away kit when he starting talking about his favourite music. Asked by MTV about his favourite bands, he said: "I'm listening to Richard Ashcroft and Arctic Monkeys at the moment. I think Arctic Monkeys are a fantastic new band. I'm playing them in my car." When quizzed whether they'd make a good World Cup song, he added: "Wow. I don't know, maybe! You never know. I'm sure whoever does it will do a great job." Joe likes indie bands. Not bad. And he also likes to dive a lot on the field. Brazil team..watch out!
Everyone's favourite Lohan (to lambast or to adore) and her ex-squeeze Wilmer Valderrama were caught partying together at the club Lotus earlier this week, and were spotted at 5:30am entering Valderrama's SoHo Grand hotel room. Is she thinking of getting back together with him? The pair were seen partying together at New York hot spot Lotus at the weekend, and left the club together. US Weekly have secured the rights to photos of the pair apparently making their way back to Wilmer's hotel together. Interesting developments there. But then, she has also been linked with a few...dozen of other actors this last few months. Good life?
Vroom, vroom! Here's Lindsay walking the runway during the General Motors Annual "Ten" Celebrity Fashion Show. Lindsay strutted her stuff alongside a Saturn SKY, marking 2006 as GM's 5th annual show.
Also seen at the event were Alyssa Milano and Victor Webster, who were looking mighty friendly. Must be a little colder for her...after having shaved those arms earlier this year.
Daniel Craig reportedly asked the film's producers to supply him with numerous beauty and pampering products such as baby lotion, nail files and wet wipes. All of these incidents have a large number of fans and industry insiders worried about the film's success. A James Bond movie is about as formulaic as you can get: cool one-liners, liquor, Bond girls with huge tits, explosions and evil villains. So my question is, how in the hell do you screw that up? Oh I know, make sure your Bond is a prancing sissy and more concerned with his french manicure and getting his eyeliner just right to ever bother learning to drive a car. If I was the villain, I wouldn't know whether to dangle him over a pit of sharks or (when he asks) just tell him, "Yes, those pants make you look fat and you have lipstick on your teeth."
Meanwhile, Roger Moore has warned James Bond fans to give new 007 Daniel Craig a chance. The legendary star - who played the dashing spy in seven movies - says he can't understand why Craig is being lambasted for being a bad Bond when nobody has seen Casino Royale yet. He said: "He is a really good actor. So why attack him?" Moore's plea comes after a group disgruntled 007 enthusiasts asked people voice their displeasure at the decision to replace Pierce Brosnan with the British star. A statement on the site reads: "EON Productions angered fans around the world when they fired Pierce Brosnan at the height of his popularity. To add insult to injury, EON cast a short, blond, odd-looking Daniel Craig in the role of Bond. Craig is a terrible choice for Bond. If EON Productions and Sony Pictures will not accept they've made a big mistake, then Bond fans promise to boycott 'Casino Royale!'" Do they mean business? The decision of the producers to get Craig is as bewildering as the rising success of Blunt-y.
Christina Aguilera was interviewed on TRL last week and gave an exclusive sneak peek of her new album, "Back To Basics", a throwback to the 20's, 30's, 40's. She previewed one of her songs called "Candy Man", which is "very 50's style, pin-up dolls in sailor suits and the happiest song on [her] record." I certainly had my doubts but it sounds absolutely fantastic. Good direction made by this lady. Leave the diirty slutty stuff to the 'mickey mouse' collegue.
Hoping to get some mention in the press as his band becomes more redundant, Jon Bon Jovi has now accused Franz Ferdinand of stealing his style. The 'leeeeeaaavin on a praaaa-aaair' hitmaker wore smart suits onstage during the 1980s, but has since opted for a more mature wardrobe. But he is considering dusting off his old outfits after watching Franz Ferdinand shoot to fame wearing suits and ties. Are you that desperate, jbj? He says: "I buy suits, mainly Hugo Boss, but they tend to stay in the closet. It's a b**ch. I just saw that Franz Ferdinand are wearing those tight satin bomber jackets and I thought, 'Hey, we had those back in the Eighties.'" But in terms of music relevance, Franz is in tune. And Bon Jovi is not. He should just retire early and take care of the kids. And help tell aunt maddy to follow suit.
Another highly awaited second album is from the LSF foursome. Tom Meighan recently told John Earls at Planet Sound, "We're headlining V Festival, up against Radiohead.
