Keira Knightley candids in London (26/02/2007)




Kate Moss and Pete had a spring in their step as they enjoyed a breath of fresh air near her country home in the Cotswolds on Sat (Feb 24). [KatePete-Cotswolds] He has apparently moved into her house and staying for good. Onlookers could not believe it as Pete staggered along clutching armfuls of oddball possessions. One said: "It was hilarious. Pete was shifting all this tatty, weird stuff into Kate's posh house, which must be worth millions and kitted out with expensive fixtures and fittings. Talk about rags to riches!" His previous landlord Andreas Panayiotou branded Pete the "worst tenant" he had ever had. That guy must have thanked the heavens after knowing about his exit from the premises.
No matter how many sex tapes are released, no matter how many times she gets in trouble with the law, Miss Paris Hilton just doesn't get a clue. Paris was pulled over by the Los Angeles County Sheriff on Tuesday night for speeding without her headlights on. The officer then found out she was driving with a suspended license. The incident occurred when the socialite was on her way home after purchasing DVDs at a local music store. She was issued a ticket on the scene then sent on her merry way. An official spokesman said, "She was arrested for driving on a suspended licence, which is a misdemeanour. Her car was impounded and she was cited and released." This latest run in with the law could see her end up in jail, but she may get away with a $1,000 fine. This is like having 'nine lives' status.

Kaiser Chiefs and Arctic Monkeys have exchanged harsh words ahead of Thursday's NME Awards ceremony. Turner once commented that if his band became as established as the Kaisers they would quit music. Now Nick Baines has hit back with a jibe at AM's songwriting skills. "We're an easy target because nobody ever slags off a small band," declared Baines. "It'd be better if they were writing better songs than us, but they're not, so they can shut up." Meanwhile, a music industry source said, "Anything could happen on Thursday, which is slightly thrilling and slightly nerve-wracking for the organisers. The Arctics aren't known for their good behaviour. Last year they were kicking their awards around the dancefloor and shouting at anybody who got in their way. So special measures are being taken to try to keep them away from the Kaiser Chiefs." Nah, just put 'em in the same table! They will definitely behave like decent chaps for about a minute or two..


The Bravery have previewed three tracks from their forthcoming second album via their official website. 'The Sun And The Moon', set for release in May. The tracks 'Shapes', 'The Ocean' and 'Every Word Is A Knife In My Ear' are available via thebravery.com, with frontman Sam Endicott describing the latter as "a weird mix between the (Rolling) Stones and the Ramones." Will these guys be a half-decent one album wonder?

Shanti Shanti

Charlotte Church has sparked rumours she is pregnant after she abstained from alcohol at her 21st birthday party. The singer stayed sober as she celebrated the landmark occasion with close family and friends on Wednesday, fuelling speculation she was expecting. Charlotte is said to have cancelled a big bash at Cardiff's Hilton hotel, choosing instead to have the intimate gathering at her home. She has also given up smoking and friends claim she has put on weight, despite being on a diet. No wonder she would not be surprised if he gets down one knee anytime soon.

Drew Barrymore has said she doesn't regret her two failed marriages but if she had her time over, she probably wouldn't go through that. She married bartender Jeremy Thomas for just a month in '94 when she was 19 then was married to Tom Green for just six months in '01 before he filed for divorce. Drew told Jane mag: "If I had known what I know now, I would say to myself, 'Do not get married before you're 30, and be together a minimum of five years first'. I feel like I’m the least authoritative person to talk about marriage, because I sorta screwed that whole thing up." Third time's a charm?

The ego has "amazed" rehab staff with a speedy recovery. Robbie checked in to the Meadows center twelve days ago his dad Pete Conway confirmed that the singer has coped excellently with his treatment and could be home within days. "Robbie is in good humour, cracking jokes and on good form," Pete said. "I'm extremely positive about him - he is doing well. I speak to him every day and he is in fine fettle. We are hoping to have him out of rehab very soon." Hmm, wonder if he knows the results of reality shows, oscars, brit awards, etc. Or more of the ongoing 'take that wants you back' stories.

Girls Aloud - OK Magazine Scans (21/02/2007)



Everyone seems to be doing it these days.. and so the uncles from Metallica wants to try their luck too when they start recording a new album next month. 2003's St. Anger was their last production. Producer Rick Rubin and the band wanted to be in the right frame of mind before heading into the studio. He said: "We really have to feel secure about the music and know it's good. Then in the studio, we're free to only worry about performance and not worry about writing a song. Hopefully, we've done our homework." Guns And no.. Roses have been delaying for too long so maybe those old school metal-freaks are happy about some new angry-inducing anthems.
Nicole Kidman opened up about her marriage to Keith Urban on Oprah Winfrey's Oscar special Thursday night. "Keith is doing very well," she told fellow Aussie pal Russell Crowe. "We've been through a lot." She also told Crowe that she'd like to have more kids.. [Nic-Confess]

After the surgery on Ben's kidney was done, Jack went back to his cell. Not knowing what was next to come for his fate, Tom told him that he has to shift out of the cell into a new cage. Jack argued about showing some respect and taunts the others about the kind of people they are (hang Charlie from a tree, abducting kids, pregnant women, etc) but Tom counteract with the 'stones in a glass house' phrase. Juliet is now being treated as a prisoner and a new lady appeared by the name of Isabel. She is apparently 'The Sheriff' but is still lower in rank behind Ben. In the flashback scenes, Jack was in Thailand to 'find himself' and he doesn't have the tattoos done yet. Another new character called Achara, a mysterious tattoo artist, befriends the doc and grew intimate for a month without her informing him much about the special powers she possessed. Only when Jack stalked her going to a tattoo parlour did he know about her ability to see people as who they are. Achara told Jack he was a great leader but which caused him to be very lonely. Upon hearing this, Jack forced her to ink the tattoo that represents him. Next day, her posse of friends whacked Jack and told him to immediately leave the country. Even the soft drinks boy who was once very friendly shuns him completely. What was it exactly that bothers them regarding the tattoo Jack wanted? Back on the main island, Kate wanted 'James' to follow her back to help Jack which got a negative response. Karl told them the others have their own backyard, only stayed at Alcatraz for 'projects', lived on the same main island and abducted the kids to give them a better life. After Sawyer called a sobbing Karl 'Bobby'... "What the hell is the Brady Bunch?".. Karl has never heard of The Brady Bunch. Was he born on the island? Sawyer let Karl off because he wants him to be reunited with Alex. Upon listening to Karl's stories about Alex, and it's obvious that Sawyer is drawing parallels to his feelings for Kate. On Alcatraz land, Isabel read out the tattoo characters in front of Jack and then brought him to some office with lots of files and cabinets. Juliet & Tom was there as well. Jack lied to Isabel about Juliet not telling him to kill Ben which frustrates her. Next day, Cindy/Zack/Emma from tailies section plus some other unknown 'zombie' behaviour people were standing outside Jack's cage. They swiftly went away after Jack screamed at Cindy after she asked him about Ana-Lucia. With Juliet now in trouble after killing Danny, Jack took an opportunity to speak to Ben after Alex asked him about why he did the surgery. Notice that Alex always uses 'Ben' and not 'Dad' when conversing. Ben revealed that Ethan was the Others' resident surgeon until he met his well-deserved fate. Jack now wants Ben to promise him that he will save Juliet from being executed in exchange for treating the growing infection on his wiring from the surgery. Jack/Alex then sent a handwritten letter from Ben to Isabel at some courtroom hearing ceremony with Juliet looking dejected facing a crowd of 'zombie' heads. Isabel changed the orders from execution to just 'marking' Jules. Next day, Jack got a grilled sandwich from Juliet where he asked to see the marking. It looks like an upside down Hydra logo. The "Mark" is clearly a reference to the Mark of Cain, which usually refers to a mark of shame or separation from society as retribution for Cain's fratricide. She told him that Ben will be sent somewhere else to avoid the losties coming back to get revenge. Jack and Juliet seemed to be forming an alliance which could prove vital in the coming weeks. That night, Jules, Jack, Ben along with the rest sailed off in a boat bigger than Michael's version. Before they went off, Isabel explained to Jack what his tattoo says, "although he walks among us he is not one of us," but he then told her it is what they say but not what it means.. In Hinduism Achara and Dharma are synonymous with the same thing i.e. the regulation of daily life. Indeed Achara is often refered to as the Supreme Dharma. Will Ben keep his promise of sending both of them back to the real 'Home'?
Scarlett Johansson is in India on an awareness-raising visit to help highlight the suffering endured by poor people in the country. She has been in India since Monday, and has toured schools and slums in New Delhi. Ashvin Dayal, south Asian director of charity Oxfam, says, "We are delighted that Scarlett is supporting Oxfam and our work to help end global poverty. High-profile support helps us to raise awareness of these issues and urge governments and leaders worldwide to act." More power to this lady.
Anne Hathaway says filming 'Becoming Jane' was a nightmare and struggled to cope with perfecting the British accent while filming in a cold Irish climate. She told Sunday Telegraph: "There were certain days when we were filming in Ireland and it was so cold, and you're trying not to freeze to death and of course I'm trying to do the accent. It's so cold it makes you very tight which can make your voice sound higher." Her intonation was so poor that most of her dialogue had to be re-recorded. Anne said: "After all that f***ing accent work, about 80 per cent of the dialogue in the film was unusable. I had to go to England to re-record it all." Maybe that is the last of her doing a role with the Euro accent.

Ash have started to make their new music available, beginning with a new track released online. 'I Started A Fire' is now available through the band's MySpace page [Ash-MySp], and is the first song from their upcoming album to be made public. "It's a bitchy love song, dealing with bi-polar emotions," frontman Tim Wheeler explained to XFM. Their sixth studio album is as-of-yet unnamed publicly, but the trio are leaving clues around for fans to latch on to, including a game of Hangman on their blog. Should be a great one.
Joss Stone has drafted in football hard man Vinnie Jones to sing on her new album. He will be providing spoken words and sings on a hidden track. Joss said: "I wanted someone to introduce the record and I love Vinnie cos I love his accent. He's got that spirit, that's just like 'fuck it', which is my spirit as well - we kinda connect like that. "I call him up now - it's like we've known each other for years (but) I'd never spoken to him before in my life!" Mr Juggernaut would probably marathon run across cities to get to the studios for that particular offer.

Did a Gallagher gave her some advise on showing more attitude? Lily Allen continues her funny antics when she recently boasted about trashing a dressing room. The rampage took place after her "amazing" show in Sydney, Australia and even posted photographs of the room. She writes, "We got pretty drunk, went to see Kasabian play. We hung out with some of the other bands. Then we trashed our dressing room." Angry parents aren't happy about this because it sets a bad example to her young fans. One concerned parent said, "Although Lily obviously thinks she is living up to some rock 'n' roll ideal, the majority of her fans are young and impressionable. She should know better than to boast about wrecking a dressing room. Maybe she should concentrate on her music rather than destroy other people's property." Lily's behavior follows her lashing out at paparazzi with a stiletto heel after the Brits last week. Charlotte suddenly looks weaker in wild-life terms.

Katharine McPhee does AOL Sessions! [Mcphee-AOL]
All Saints are on the verge of being dropped by their record label after a lacklustre comeback. Their album charted at number 40 and their new single 'Chick Fit' will only be released digitally. A source told the Mirror: "Chick Fit is almost certainly going to be their last single and it will take a miracle to save the band now. They are still technically signed to the label but not for much longer." Sad to say, it's true. Boyzone to do better?

Beastie Boys at Fort Canning Park (Mon 19 February 2007) (0030am - 0125am)
The Good Vibrations event ended with one of the most anticipated performances when these trio boys came strutting in their smart attires. Their set-list include some recent ones [2004] along with their old favs like No Sleep, Intergalactic and Sabotage. A funny incident came when some drunkard dude climbed up the left-side scaffolding and encouraged everyone to put our hands up in the air. Actually thought he was part of the set-up until two security guys tried ever so hard to drag him down. Mix Master Mike is phenomenal as ever as he blew us all way with his turntable skills. Being not so much of a hip-hop fan, seeing so many peeps with oversized jerseys/baseball caps all around creates an interesting environment unlike those from the rocknroll nature. Favourite tune Body Movin' performance was simply jaw-opening to say the least. As they ended the night with Sabotage, it was safe to say everyone had a 'cheshire-cat smile' time. I was fortunate enough to touch Mike D & Adrock at the footpath lane as they were swiftly heading towards a private van after the show...HAHAAHAHA! Hope they'll come back again.

Charlotte Church will ditch her television career in favour of a return to classical music. She said, "I often think 'Oh my God, I was so good at opera, why did I leave it behind? Now that I am older I have a much better classical voice, so you could definitely see me going back to that." Charlotte celebrates her 21st birthday on Wednesday but the party-loving star won't be hitting the clubs. Instead she plans to spend the day quietly at home in Cardiff with her family and Gavin. "For my birthday I've told my nan to get me jewellery. My mum will probably get me things from her clothes shop," she said recently. But an engagement ring from Gavin wouldn't go amiss. "If Gavin gave me an engagement ring I'd say yes - probably - but it's really not a big deal," she said. No surprises, aye.

"When we came to studio in Los Angeles, our producer suggested us to sing with Fergie" - says Volkova. "Me and Lena clapped our hands because of such luck!" They are working on a movie titled "In Search of t.A.T.u." about two girls who fall in love at one of their concerts. Their upcoming third album is expected to release around the same time as the movie. Since their past albums have been mostly pop and "sad", the gals stated that their upcoming album is going to be more dance and upbeat. Should be another good one.
