When The Kooks are in the studio they’re focused and most importantly, sober. Watch Hugh and Luke explain their reasoning below.

Next time you’re struggling to make conversation, try asking this question: “If you could invite anyone (living or dead) to the perfect house party, who would it be?”
Graffiti6 is starting to make their North American invasion, and they are hitting up the Tonight Show. Does this sound familiar? Well the Beatles made the exact same journey over 40 years ago. Naturally, @jordans_life had to make some comparisons.
Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.
Diamandis from Marina and The Diamonds talks to us about her very serious disease. It’s called synaesthetic. And we lied, it’s not a disease. More like a cool condition. Diamandis explains further.
Would you be embarrassed if someone scrolled through your iPod? We sit down with Spee and Brendan to talk about the diverse music on their playlist.
Perhaps I took too many sociology courses in university, or maybe it’s just the way movies are going these days, but I found Perfect Stranger to be packed with blatant product placements to the point of distraction. If they weren’t attending a fashion show sponsored by a certain lingerie company or typing away on their clearly identifiable laptops, the characters were talking on their cellphones, the brands blatantly obvious.
(Writer’s note: I think I just included product placements in this review.)
(Editor’s Note: Nope, I took them out.)
Perhaps the producers had to somehow offset the cost of getting Bruce Willis and Halle Berry to sign on to such a mediocre film.
One would think that a thriller with Willis, or any movie that puts Berry on the backdrop of New York City, would be great. And at times it was quite good. There were moments that made you think, plot twists that made you speculate, and of course the ending you didn’t see coming. And there were the shots that any (especially male) viewer will notice right away– the gratuitous sexual shots of Halle Berry. Although there is no nudity, (maybe she thinks she has done enough of that with Swordfish and Monster’s Ball), there are definitely shots of her body that are really unnecessary to the plot. Not that I’m complaining, I just think she and the movie would both have a little more credibility with more subtle ways of presenting her body on screen than a zoom-in when she bends over. We all know how hot she is without that, and it just makes you wonder if that’s why the producers chose Berry to play the part.
Bruce Willis plays the villain of sorts, although he’s really not that creepy. He plays the womanizer card pretty well, but under that, there’s not much depth there. It’s a shame because the role he plays could really be creepier with some nuances that Willis just doesn’t present.
The one great job that the casting directors did was with the character of Miles, Giovanni Ribisi’s character. He is funny when he needs to be, creepy when he needs to be, even threatening at times– which is a big accomplishment when you’re up against men and women who are noticeably taller than you. (Ribisi’s a little over the 5-foot mark.)
This film is kind of a Sixth Sense meets The Net. But unlike the effective twist at the end of The Sixth Sense, the ending of Perfect Stranger is a twist that pushes the limits of reasonable believability. Without spoiling it, the thing that this film really relies on is its twist ending. The problem is that a good twist should leave you guessing to the last second (which this does pretty successfully) but should also make you think “ohhhh” not “huh?” Not that it’s confusing; just really outlandish.
A decent date movie, but a pretty mediocre attempt at portraying the intended action/suspense vibe overall.
