Kasabian is on the attack! Four enemies has been spotted by the LSF gang -- Bloc Party, Test Icicles, The Automatic and Pete Doherty. Serge Pizzorno had some 'nice' things to say about Bloc Party: "That's their thing, innit, concentrating on what's shit about life. In 20 years' time nobody will give a fuck about those bands. What's the point in whingeing? That's not what a band's about. A band should be about having a good time. With your mates." Maybe B.P don't know how to express happiness? Tom Meighan has joined the slagfest by ranting about Test Icicles' surprise split: "What a bunch of wankers! Give it up, mate. King's Cross rent boys, we call 'em - all those bands." Senor Doherty was labelled "a fucking tramp" (must've taken 'em years to come up with that one!) and The Automatic "horrible". What's the reason for these choice of words on their indie compatriots? Something called 'Empire' will be released soon, expect to hear more verbal attacks before then. They must have learnt well from the Gallaghers..

Do You Have Bad Taste In Music??? [YHBTM]


Newlyweds Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have headed back stateside after their abbreviated honeymoon in Tahiti. Why such a short honeymoon though? Surely they could have planned on spending a little longer time in seclusion. The Aussie newlyweds waited until late Saturday to slip out of the $20,000 a night royal estate on the island's St Regis resort, where they had spent four nights. A waiting speedboat rushed them straight to their chartered jet for the 45-minute flight to the capital Papeete -- and from there it was non-stop back to the US. Kidman and Urban spent much of their honeymoon tucked away in a 4500sq m villa -- but were seen strolling the sands of their own private beach. The secluded playground allowed the superstar lovers to feel relaxed lazing around in little more than bikinis and boardshorts. Landing back in Tennessee yesterday, the beaming pair are ready to settle into married life in their Tudor-style mansion near Nashville. And it's straight back to work. Urban kicks off his next tour in Ontario, Canada on July 13.

Baby number three coming up for Captain Jack Sparrow? Johnny Depp is planning one more child with longtime partner Vanessa Paradis. The actor admits he loves fatherhood and the couple is considering adding a third kid to their family. The P.o.t.C star says, "I'd live to have more (kids), and Vanessa and the kids would love to have another baby around the house." The couple have a daughter, Lily, seven, and a four-year-old son, Jack. If his next child is a son, those three can re-enact dad's pirate movie scenes next time. Knowing that Hugh Jackman's wife refused to return back Wolverine's costume, wonder if Vanessa did the same thing? Check out 'Pirates of The Caribbean Ride' [link] where Depp got a lil afraid of his wax twin.


Has Vince proposed to Jennifer Aniston? Some reports claimed a secret wedding will be held in the near future after he proposed to Jenn in Paris. Friends claim Aniston has invited her former mother-in-law, B.P's mum Jane, to the nuptials and Vince Vaughn is going to great lengths to shape-up for the big day. Jenn has told her former sister-in-law Julie, who has also been invited to the wedding, that although a date has not been set, the actress would like it "sooner rather than later". Vaughn reportedly went down on one knee while the couple were in Europe promoting 'The Break Up'. Life & Style reports that Vaughn is so serious about looking his best when he weds Aniston, he has started the Zone diet, Aniston's favourite. The publication claims Jenn told a friend, "He's started the Zone diet, and he's working out. He looks great." An insider insists Aniston is serious about her wedding plans: "Jenn's already asked Courteney Cox to be her matron of honour." That dude needs at least few months of 'Zone' to look good enough in a wedding photo. And Cox should be careful her kid doesn't playfully pull off her top off at the event just like the recent bikini incident at the beach.


Cheryl Tweedy has admitted she is flattered that new girl on the block, Lily Allen has written a track about her. The B-Side to Allen's hit single Smile is called 'Cheryl Tweedy' and on it she sings about wanting to look like Tweedy. Cheryl told the Daily Star: "I'm really flattered that Lily's written a track about me. But I don't know why she sings about wanting to be as pretty as me as she looks stunning. I'd like to look like her. I love her single and the way she wears trainers and gorgeous dresses. It's about time we had a really cool British girl out there on the music scene." Tweedy must also be relieved that Allen is twice as gobby as her...it takes the pressure off her for a while, yah? Now we shall await whether 'everything's just wonderful' between Allen and a certain Charlotte Church..
