Science Is Golden
Joss is definitely beach ready in her itsy bitsy bikini. But the same thing can't be said for Lemar. Kind of disturbing seeing him out of shape next to Joss-y. Why are his boobs larger than hers? These two soulsters were hanging out on a yacht sunning it up.. This sighting will surely restart the lost in love rumors that hounded the two earlier this year. Good for Joss-y though -- she's finally over Beau Dozier and Lemar might just be the love remedy.. minus the baby fat factor .
Michelle Rodriguez got to use a get out of jail free to put an abrupt end to her 60 day stint for drunk driving. Lucky Ana Lucia only served four and a half hours of a 60 day sentence because she is considered a non-violent offender and because of prison overcrowding. How fortunate for her! Rodriguez also revealed she's making tracks out of the U.S., as soon as she completes the sentence. She said, "I'm moving to France.. people don't bother you there. I do what I got to do and then I leave the country and never come back." Being pressured and pushed around by 'The Others' is not fun at all, aye?
This Rodriguez looks kinda familiar.. Lily Allen? Read the success story of Lily through 'word of mouth' and bypassing the typical old marketing route. [link]
It's been a freakin' long wait. Kasabian are returning with a new single next month. But it only be available as a download when released on 24th July. The extravagantly coiffured foursome, who are returning to the stage at Portugal's Rock In Rio Festival, will release their second album in Sept. This means more processed beats, baby!!
The Prototypes song [Je ne te connais pas] has cleverly used a tune by a Brit band... Was thinking on why the verses sound so similar and then realised it is the same as Blur - Song 2! Only that is sung in French but i'm not too sure if the lyrics are similar as well. They just add some 'yeah yeah yeah' shout outs to spice it up and overall turns out to be an incredible track.
Bad News! Goldfrapp official label "Mute" announced on the official forum that the "Fly Me Away" video has been cancelled and will not air, the reason wasn't mentioned. *Le sigh*
Dirty Pretty Things performed live at The Forum in London, England (May 23). Pics ->[Wenn / WireImage]
Wolfmother charged through Toronto in the midst of their North American tour and stopped by 'MuchOnDemand' for a visit. Pics and a performance of 'Apple Tree' can be found at MuchMusic [link].
Babyshambles have spent their fee for the Get Loaded festival on studio time at London's Turnmills Studios in a bid to finally "focus on the music". They were dropped from Rough Trade some weeks back.. The band said in a statement, "The music has gone in a different direction than people might expect and reflects the challenging times since Down in Albion; it's both reflective and optimistic." Babyshambles have been offered a new record deal from Rough Trade, as well as a number of other labels. May be a wise move to take this gamble of signing them on.
After a recent verbal attack on Oprah by 50 Cent, another rapper has voiced his opinion on the talk show host... Ice Cube.. [link]
Jessica Simpson has gone to see a psychiatrist on May 19th. "No one knows for sure what Jessica discussed, but it was clear that she was seeking help for something very troubling," said an inside source. "Her hand was trembling as she reached for the door, and she looked like she was desperately trying to fight back tears as she went back out to face the world. Whatever her issues, Jessica should be commended for seeking professional help. It's the only way she can truly become her own woman." Sounds kinda serious, yah.. Wonder if Papa J has been pressuring her to find a new partner and getting back to the studios cause he still wants more ka-ching?
Take a listen to Christina Aguliera's new song - "Aint No Other Man" [link]. It is super-bloody-fantastic!!

No worries. Thom Yorke has no intention of leaving Radiohead, but has completed a solo album after deciding to test himself by working alone. He has always enjoyed the backing of his bandmates, so he decided to go it alone on upcoming LP 'The Eraser'. He says, "I wanted to work on my own. I just wanted to see what it would be like." But he has told fans the record is definitely not a precursor to a split: "As you know the band are now touring and writing new stuff and getting to a good space so I want no crap about me being a traitor or splitting up". Ok. Those thoughts shall be erased. Here are some Radiohead B-Sides [link].
What the.. Wham! are set to reunite - George M wants former band mate Andrew Ridgeley to join him on tour. They split up in 1986 after a final performance at London's Wembley Stadium, and now they are making a return. Michael says, "I'm going to ask Andrew to perform with me at Wembley in September. I'm going to ask him to perform Last Christmas with me. We played the song at the end of the gigs together in Wembley. It will be lovely to do the same thing twenty years later." Why go through the trouble? Must be jealous seeing Take That being the major 'nostalgia' talking point nowadays.
Another lame idea from a has-been band would a new 'Hip-Hop' Duran Duran. They are working with US hip-hop producers and are set to wow fans with their forthcoming album. Currently in a London studio recording a follow-up to their 2004 album Astronaut, D-D are planning on giving it a rap edge. Keyboardist Nick Rhodes said, "I'm making an album with the rest of Duran Duran which should be ready by January (07). Simon has got some songs to write still. "It'll have an identifiably Duran Duran sound, which we want to preserve, but it's also going to be a lot more modern. So we've been working with American urban producers." Selloutselloutsellout..
After a recent comment by Cheryl Tweedy about not being happy with her legs, Keira Knightley now wishes she had the confidence to put on weight so she could be curvy like Scarlett Johansson. She said, "That kind of decadent flesh is absolutely beautiful. How sexy is that on a woman?" It's a complex mind up there. Slim-ones wants to be larger, normal-ones wants to be super-slim. I bet Mulder and Scully can never solve this.
Since that Mischa wants to visit her land of birth, another actress wants to follow suit. But La Lohan was not born there; she just wants to be close with some boy. Lohan is planning on spending her summer in London with pal Kate Moss and her new man Jamie Burke. "I want to get a place in London. I kind of like a boy in London." Didn't she just say she was staying single for her career? The hotel managements there must be delighted for this news i reckon.. Expect to see her falling out of black cabs real soon.. La Lohan also has another motive for moving over here - fulfilling her dreams of starring in a West End show. An insider revealed: "She reckons it's all about 'the craft' now. She wants to leave the teen chick-flick roles behind and push her acting abilities." From Herbie to Hamlet?
