Britain’s Express Newspapers group has set up a fund to help riot victims. The fund has gained the support of Cowell, and other celebrities.

“A lot of families and businesses desperately need some help right now and I back any campaign which achieves this,” said Cowell.

Two Men Arrested For Joss Stone Murder Plot

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 15th, 2011

Two men have been arrested for an apparent Joss Stone murder plot, reports CTV.

The two were found near the home of R&B singer Joss Stone in Cullompton, southwest England, on suspicion of conspiracy to rob and murder.

Police officials say the men were aged 30 and 33, and were arrested Tuesday after residents reported a suspicious-looking vehicle.

The men “had in their possession information relating to an individual in the Cullompton area and items which lead us to suspect that they may have intended to commit a criminal offense,” says Detective Inspector Steve Parker.

Stone’s publicist says she was apparently aware of the arrests and is being updated by the police. Police did not confirm that Stone was at home when the incident occurred.

The Sun newspaper claims, although not confirmed by officials, that the men had swords, rope, a body bag, and maps and aerial photos of Stone’s property.

The men are currently in custody. This is a scary story, especially if what the men had is true – a body bag? aerial photos? That’s a whole other level of stalking. Glad she’s okay.

Prince William’s Shoestring Honeymoon

Posted by Megan MacKay on January 31st, 2011

It looks like word of the bad economy has finally reached Buckingham palace!

British Royal Prince William and his fiancé, Kate Middleton, have decided to skip the garish, expensive honeymoon following their spring wedding. Instead, the pair have opted for a trip to the picturesque but geographically convenient Isles of Scilly just off the coastal town of Penzance.

Gotta love those lighthouses!

It’s been said that this vacation choice was not only easier on the royal family’s wallet but also made the security detail surrounding the couple far more manageable. After the recent attack on Charles and Camilla, the last thing the royal family needs is another dangerous breach.

It should be a trip down memory lane for William, who used to vacation in the isles when he was younger with brother Harry and his royal parentals, Charles and Diana.

The couple will wed on April 29th at Westminster Abbey.

Interview: CJ Young Pushes the Boundaries of Sound

Posted by Sara Harowitz on June 14th, 2010

Crashing plates, falling rain, honking horns, chirping birds. To the average person, these are just everyday sounds. But to CJ Young, they are inspiration.

The 27-year-old musician from London, England is using his fascination with the sounds of daily life to take music in a whole new direction.

“The way I work basically is I get really hungry for new sounds,” Young told andPOP over the phone from New York, where he is currently supporting his EP, Buds. “One thing that’s really exciting me [right now] is I was in my flat a few months back and I just heard this almighty, gigantic [crashing plates] noise and it was a rich sound … I’ve got this place with a concrete floor to start smashing plates on the floor for my next project.”

Lady Gaga is Celibate and Encourages Fans to Follow her Example

Posted by Sam Rashid on April 12th, 2010

Despite glorifying sexual pleasures in her music, Lady Gaga is living a celibate lifestyle and is encouraging her fans to follow her example, reports MTV News.

Gaga’s self-imposed sex ban is a result of her not having the time to get to know anybody.

“I can’t believe I’m saying this – don’t have sex,” Gaga said, while visiting England to promote MAC’s Viva Glam campaign.  The campaign supports global HIV and AIDS projects.

“So it’s OK not to have sex, it’s OK to get to know people,” Gaga said.  “I’m celibate, celibacy’s fine.”

Posted by Sam Rashid on March 2nd, 2010

Only back-to-back films remain in the beloved Harry Potter series, and everyone could not be more excited for them, except for the main star of the films, Daniel Radcliffe, reports MTV News.

The first “Deathly Hallows” film will not hit movie theatres until November of this year, and the second film will arrive in July 2011.  So, the fans will not have to worry about saying goodbye to Harry Potter for quite some time.

However, Radcliffe has already begun to say the goodbyes to some of his co-stars.  He has been with some of them for past nine years.
