Aloha Wedding? Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly are planning to marry next summer. The couple, who met on the set of the show, announced their engagement earlier in the year. Dom is desperate to start a family with Lilly and recently admitted: "I've been broody since, like, 11! I love kids. I love being around wild animals or babies because it's a pure interaction there. It's fun." A source said: "They decided the time was right and they are very much in love. It will be a summer wedding." Will be interesting to see how the writers cope when Kate is carrying a baby next time. They look cute together.


Looks like Rod Stewart is a Paris Hilton supporter.. During the Ellen Degeneres Show, Rod said "I've always found Paris to be extremely polite, well-mannered". His daughter Kimberley is a good friend of hers. Rod also believes that she won't always want to be the centre of attention. "She enjoys the publicity for now, but I think she'll grow out of it too when she finds the right guy in her life." Kind words, eh. This old dude might have taken her sailing somewhere if he was available back then.

Feud no more. Paris and Nicole have ended their public feud and will soon be back on screen together. In the new Simple Life season, they will take on jobs as summer camp counsellors, while also trying to work out what went wrong in their friendship. The new episodes will delve into "what led to the breakdown in the friendship and maybe some of the misunderstandings and things that got in the way", executive producer Jon Murray said. The two long time buddies went public with their seemingly reconciled relationship on Sunday, arriving together at Dan Tana's Steakhouse in Los Angeles.

Not planning a 'Damage' reunion for sure?

New songs:
>> The Oohlas - Small Parts [mp3]
>> Howie Beck - Reptilia [mp3]
>> Andeh - I Never Used To [mp3]

When I first heard this song from The Oohlas[myspace], one of the great things is that they remain consistent in the delivery while adding the delicious sounding guitar solos at two crucial points. Can be considered as an upbeat version of Auf Der Maur. Discovered this artiste called Howie Beck [myspace] who attempted to mould 'Reptilia' into a more pop-friendly version. Nothing wrong with the outcome as it shows the greatness of versatility from our favourite heavy duty track. Andeh [myspace] is a new indie act from UK which has a funny name but judging from this one song, he has the potential to grow massive in the near future. With a 'Kooks+Fratellis' kind of guitar tunes, 'I Never Used To' goes straight to the point of feel-good happy vocals all throughout. A sin to ignore.

This week, Jade wants to seriously buck up from her horrible bottom two position last week. In the first challenge, Miss Jay taught them the different styles of posing like unbuttoning from the bottom to the top of their jackets. Next, two Count Draculas fat guys arrived for a 'swirling' lesson. Leslie walked in the funniest manner and Brooke showed little confidence. Joenie don't really understand those Draculas explanations. Back home, Nnenna has been hogging on the phone for too long resulting in the rest not able to use it. Brooke then told her off and bitched about it to some of them. Jade, being happily shocked, put fuel on it and told Nnenna what she heard, coming from Brooke of all people. But Nnenna just replied "Do I look like I care?" Next day, a Runway Church Challenge is conducted. Danielle lacked personality, Leslie was alright, Brooke had a stiff walk lacking in presence, Nnenna was good, Furonda not bad. Sara looks sad and bored on the walk.. Joenie also had a stiff runway walk but Jade stole the show with her flawless multi-swirl moves. Winner of course is Jade, getting 25K diamond product. She chose Leslie for the 10K version prize and Leslie then chose Nnenna for the 8K. In the car, Brooke whined about Jade and Nnenna's chances of winning this competition. She concluded the night by sobbing to her dad on the phone. Next day was a clowning session. It was a dancing photo shoot with Tommy and clown posse. Leslie was confident about it.. Joenie at times made funny pouts, Furonda was very weird, Danielle brilliant moves, Sara made funny open mouth poses, Nnenna a lil stiff but alright, Leslie had too many similar moves & disappointing, Brooke was nervous so out came the slutty dance??, Jade had energy and vibrancy holding a water bottle and splashing it around while dancing. Next day was judging time. Leslie, Brooke and Sara all felt low about it. They were asked to do a runway walk in the studio and also construct a slow-motion 360' twirl at the end. Nnenna did not do it properly. Pic evaluation - Sara had a good banana-peel shot, Furonda is pretty good, Brooke nailed it with a sexy shot, Joenie & Leslie were great whereas Danielle was just ok. Judges felt Joenie had the best shot, Dani needed to show more energy, Leslie good in pics but in person was bland, Sara still unsure about using her body on photoshoots and Brooke is sexy but sometimes lost. After everything, the first name called is.. Joenie! Next were Jade, Nnenna, Furonda, Danielle, Brooke. Last two were Sara and Leslie, both had great potential but not too sure whether they are model materials. Unsurprised, Leslie's name was not called out and she bids goodbye to everyone.

Arctic Monkeys' are set to further their reputation as the moody kids of rock by refusing to go to awards ceremonies. Notorious for refusing to do TV and other events they don't see as cool, a friend will be sent instead. The first ever Live Music Awards is their first target, with the album cover dude Chris McClure being the rep. A source close to the band told the Sun: "The boys will always thank Chris for not cashing in on his appearance on the sleve. They reckon he's the perfect man to pick up their awards in future due to his general couldn't-care-less attitude." Those cheeky...

All Saints comeback single is a Girls Aloud' sound of the underground? According to Cheryl Tweedy, the incarnation of 90s powerhouse girl group are picking up tunes from G.A. She said recently: "The new All Saints sound just sounds like us. They must have looked at what's working at the moment and thought we'll go that way, but the whole reuniting band thing at the moment is driving me insane." Why so? These Saints are a million times of better quality than those Sugababes/Clea/PDolls of the world. Kimberley, noting the fall-outs that happened in the band the first time around, added: "Good luck to them, I hope they stay friends this time." Heh.
