Sam — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:21:54 +0000

Former Oasis star Liam Gallagher has revealed why he snubbed his brother Noel in his BRITs acceptance speech.

The 37-year-old picked up the gong on behalf of the band when they won Best Album of 30 Years for (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?.

In his speech he thanked all the members apart from his brother Noel, 42, who he is currently not speaking to.

Talking to blog Stopcryingyourheartout.com, Liam said he wanted to give the other members more recognition.

He said: “I’m sick of it all being about me and Noel. The last couple of months has pretty much been all about me and him, so I thought it was only right to mention the other lads who played on the album and the best fans in the world.”

Former Spice Girls star Mel C wants the band members’ kids to form their own group in the future.

The singer gave birth to the latest ‘Spice baby’ last year when her daughter Scarlet was born, bringing the total number of Spice Girls offspring to eight.

She said: “The Spice brood is constantly growing and I think they’re destined for great things. They’ll be either a band or a football team.”

Joining Scarlet is Emma Bunton’s son Beau, Mel B’s two daughters Angel and Phoenix Chi, Victoria Beckham’s sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, and Geri Halliwell’s daughter Bluebell.

Mariah Carey’s Fans are Up in Arms

Sam — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:57:54 +0000

Mariah Carey may want to rethink her concert set list because even her fans that she cares about so much are starting to get cranky. According to an insider, the singer is charging up to $325 per ticket while she’s on tour, with a relatively short set list. On top of showing up late to every concert date, the diva has reportedly cut three more songs for the past two dates, including the fan favorite ‘Emotions’. Her set list now consists of a paltry thirteen songs and a very short concert experience. The source also said that even her fan club, who never complains about Mariah’s antics, are up in arms.

Jennifer Lopez is proud of her twins

Sam — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:30:38 +0000

The singer recently admitted that she and her husband, Marc Anthony, cannot help but show off their children. Jennifer Lopez related: “When Marc and I are out we get out our phones and show everyone pictures of our kids. We probably do that a little too much. You always think you are not going to be that person – but then you are. We are just normal I guess.” Well it looks like all the stuff Ojani Noa is trying to pull really couldn’t interest Jennifer Lopez in the least. She’s just out there playing happy family with her kids. Now how’s that for real happiness?

Sir Elton John has offered fans a refund for his cancelled UK concerts after they could not be rescheduled.

Sir Elton, 62, had to cancel dates in Sheffield, Newcastle, London and Liverpool after he was struck down with flu and E.coli.

His promoter said: “Sadly, due to venue availability and the scale of the Red Piano show, these shows cannot be rescheduled and have now been cancelled.”

A spokesperson for Marshall Arts added that Sir Elton was ‘terribly disappointed’ at the news.

He said: “Elton has been overwhelmed by the tremendous loyalty and messages of support he has received from his fans in the UK.”

Those fans with tickets will now receive a refund for the full face value of their tickets and should contact the point where they purchased them from.

Britney Spears seeking Australian model twins’ songs

Sam — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:33:17 +0000

Britney Spears is tapping into some Australian model talent – but for her songs, not her look.

Spears has been in touch with songwriting twins and models Olivia and Miriam Nervo, who are billed as an emerging international pop act.

Spears has asked the Nervo Sisters to write some new material for her following the success of their work overseas. The pair have written a song that topped the British charts last month, the catchy When Love Takes Over. The song was performed by David Guetta and former Destiny’s Child star Kelly Rowland.

Spears considered the Nervo Sisters’ work in the past, but did not include the track she eyed

on her album. Olivia Nervo has had a local hit titled Boob Job.

The Enemy wants Oasis support

Sam — Mon, 18 May 2009 22:38:27 +0000

The band that is currently opening for Oasis’ tour this Summer in the UK wants the headlining of the concerts to be the other way around. The Enemy’s front man, Tom Clarke, expressed the band’s point of view: “I don’t think Noel needs to do it any more. He’s doing it for the love of it. That’s the dream. That’s when you can say you’ve made it.” And of course, when the bigger band’s guitarist is doing it all just because he loves it, then it means The Enemy should be headlining. Interesting theory on Tom Clarke’s behalf… I can’t wait to hear what Oasis has to say about it, especially considering Liam Gallagher’s extraordinarily patient and understanding nature.

Green Day Announce Tour

GREEN DAY LAUNCH FIRST NORTH AMERICAN TOUR IN OVER THREE YEARS!

MULTI-PLATINUM BAND HIT THE ROAD IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM, 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN, TO BE RELEASED WORLDWIDE ON FRIDAY, MAY 15TH, 2009

April 20, 2009 — Burbank, CA — Reprise Records’ Grammy®Award winning rock band Green Day have announced that they will hit the road for their first proper tour of the United States and Canada in more than three years beginning July 3rd in Seattle, WA. The first leg of the tour will cross North America through the summer and finish up with two shows in Los Angeles on August 26th.
Green Day are touring in support of their long-awaited eighth studio album 21st Century Breakdown, which will be released globally by Reprise Records on Friday, May 15th, 2009. Singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool have been at work writing, arranging, and recording 21st Century Breakdown since early 2006 with producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins). The first single, “Know Your Enemy” was released to radio and digital retailers on April 16th.
Green Day recently performed 21st Century Breakdown in its entirety during a series of warm-up club shows for hometown fans in the Bay Area. In its review of a show at Oakland’s Fox Theater, Rolling Stone commented that the band, augmented by guitarists Jason White and Jeff Matika, and keyboardist Jason Freese, had the “Quadrophenia-like hang of 21st Century Breakdown’s classic rock melodies and lifetime-punk drive down solid” and that the album is “rock opera in which the rock always comes first.” “21st Century Breakdown is Green Day’s best album,” the reviewer concluded, “and at the Fox, they proved that the rock opera can be as punk as a Clash 45.”
21st Century Breakdown is Green Day’s first studio album since 2004’s two-time Grammy Award-winning punk-rock opera American Idiot, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart, spawned five hit singles, and went on to sell more than 12 million copies worldwide.

Adrienne Bailon Goes Solo

Sam — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 21:04:15 +0000

Cheetah Girls member Adrienne Bailon has a new song on the soundtrack of ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’ and I’m surprised to say that I actually like it. I mean really like it. The title of the song is ‘Big Spender’ and it’s a great dance/pop song. The production is top notch and the song is instantly catchy. It kind of reminds me of the golden days of Janet Jackson. Yes, I think it really is that good. I wonder if Adrienne is going to go solo from now on or if this is just one little side project away from the Cheetah Girls.

Justin Timberlake for SNL

Sam — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 20:46:05 +0000

Andy Samberg took the lead in another great SNL Digital Short entitled â€˜Jâ€”In My Pantsâ€™. He reunites with Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer, fellow members from sketch comedy group Lonely Island. Former â€˜Las Vegasâ€™ actress Molly Sims and former â€˜Sopranosâ€™ star Jamie-Lynn Sigler made cameos as the hot girls. Justin Timberlake was also called in to o clean up on aisle 3. I wonder if Justin helped with the lyrics to the song. Hereâ€™s a sample: â€œDonâ€™t tell your friends or Iâ€™ll say your a sâ€”/Plus itâ€™s your fault, you were rubbing my butt/Iâ€™m very sensitive, some would say thatâ€™s a plus/Now Iâ€™ll go home and change/The next day my alarm goes off and I/Jâ€” IN MY PANTS/Open my window and a breeze rolls in and I/Jâ€” IN MY PANTS/When Bruce Willis was dead at the end of Sixth Sense I/Jâ€”ED IN MY PANTSâ€.
