When The Kooks are in the studio they’re focused and most importantly, sober. Watch Hugh and Luke explain their reasoning below.
The Kooks released a new album called “Junk of the Heart,” and you would think Hugh and Luke would be very excited about it. Well, they seemed rather indifferent to be honest. We spoke about that and why they don’t care about critics.

Daniel Radcliffe is back with his new movie The Woman In Black. It’s a bone chilling remake of a film from the ’80s. Ironically, Daniel actually scares very easily but he’s not afraid of ghosts. In this interview he tells us what really gives him the creeps.
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.
Marina and The Diamonds are working on some new music, but Marina is being very secretive about it. Although the release has been delayed, she let’s us in on some secrets about the new album, and how alcohol changed her life.
The people have spoken. These five female celebrities looked absolutely stunning at last night’s People’s Choice Awards in L.A.
Hundreds of television and movie stars as well as the hottest singers showed up to present awards. Katy Perry ended up winning the most awards in the music category but unfortunately she did not attend. It’s a shame, because I’m always excited to see what look Katy pulls off on the red carpet.
Here’s my pick for the top 5 best dressed women.
5. Kaley Cuoco
4. Emma Stone
3. Demi Lovato
2. Miley Cyrus
1. Nina Dobrev
After pulling the plug on a Marc Jacob’s perfume ad featuring young actress Dakota Fanning, the British Advertising Standards Authority is also yanking a Miu Miu ad starring Academy Award nominated actress Hailee Steinfeld.
Apprently the ad is “too irresponsible”, according to The Guardian. Sure, there are a ton of ads on billboards and magazines promoting sex, drugs and anorexia. But for Pete’s sake, it’s just a pretty girl reflecting by the train tracks!
The ASA claim the clothing ad is “irresponsible and in breach of the Code in showing a child in a hazardous or dangerous situation.” Once again, people are taking things way too literally. Sure, train tracks aren’t the best place to go and have a cry, but in the “fashion world”, there’s never a proper place to go sulk, is there?
Of all the ads we’re bombarded with constantly in the media, this Miu Miu one is far less harmful than the ASA makes it out to be. Sit and think about it for a second. Just maybe not real any tracks.
Twilight fans can now be just like Bella Swan on their own special day.
When marrying Robert Pattinson’s character in Breaking Dawn: Part One, Kristin Stewart is wearing a gorgeous long-sleeved white gown designed by Carolina Herrera. A replica gown has just been made by bridal retailer Alfred Angelo for $799, CBC News says.
Considering some wedding gowns prices are in the 5 figure range, 800 bucks is a pretty sweet deal. For all you high-end shoppers, you should be happy to know Herrera will be selling the original dress at her boutiques in New York next year, but the cost is yet to be confirmed. I’d except it to cost as much as a brand new car.
As far as wedding gowns go, the Bella Swan one is actually pretty classic and sophisticated, just like kate Middleton’s infamous long-sleeved gown. No word yet on whether a replica of Edward’s tuxedo will be sold anywhere.
The newly single Zooey Deschanel and Chelsea Handler both made their independent debuts in navy.
Actress and singer Zooey Deschanel wore a lovely silk pleated dress with gold sparkle shoes to TV Guide’s Hot List party Monday night. Her hair, makeup and accessories were all spot on. The star of the New Girl sitcom looked lovely as always.
Comedian Chelsea Handler wore a Stella Mcartney jumpsuit to Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards in New York City earlier this week. The jumpsuit did an excellent job at showing off her natural curves. Her accessories, on the other hand, could have use a little more oomph.
Both Zooey and Chelsea’s break-ups came as a shock to the world and it’s disappointing to see such lovely ladies at a loss.
Deschanel and her husband of two years, Ben Gibbard, of Death Cab for Cutie announced their separation earlier this month. Handler and hotel owner boyfriend Andre Balasz called it quits too. The pair had kept their relationship relatively out of the spotlight when they were together.
Both women have commented that their break-ups were mutual and amicable, and it looks like they’re enjoying the single life so far.
Somewhere in Australian Outback, thousands of snakes are hardat work on their Reese Witherspoon shrine.
Apparently, the actress that was just voted sexiest vegetarian by PETA, owned a Chloe handbag that was made out of snakeskin (as seen in the photo above). Instead of throwing red paint on her during a public event, OK Magazine says the people of PETA took a more mature approach and just wrote her a letter explaining the wrongfulness.
Reese, also being voted America’s Sweetheart by every human being on planet Earth, was happy to ditch the bag once she garnered the truth. It’s a simple mistake most people make. Sometimes synthetic leather or fur looks too much like the real thing.
PETA says thousands of snakes are hunted, impaled on hooks and skinned alive so we can store all our Blackberries, makeup and wallets in a cute accessory. Good on Reese for owning up to her mistake and ditching the bag. If she is a real vegetarian like she claims to be, she better look the part, too. Now, snakes can momentarily breathe a sigh of relief and continue doing what they do best: terrorizing the crap out of humans.
Happy birthday to Katy Perry! The wacky, colourful performer turns 27 today.
Since I Kissed a Girl made her a star, she’s never had a dull moment. And why would she, hen she’s constantly wearing crazy outfits – on stage and in real life. T-shirts and jeans are so passé for this Cali girl. Fine, fresh fierce, Katy keeps it on lock.
On her special day we want to salute Katy and thank her for keeping us entertained throughout the years. Let’s take a look at 5 outlandish outfits.
5. Cupcake bra from California Gurls music video.
4. Carousel dress as seen at the MTV Europe Music Awards
3. Yellow Cube Hat as seen at the MTV Awards
Katy Perry dons what appears to be a block of cheese on her head. Better to wear one than to cut one, right?
2. Dress with holes as seen at the MTV Awards
Katy Perry lets everyone know that even if she gets into a gun fight, she’ll still find a way to make it on time to perform at fancy award shows!
1. Half-man, half-woman costume as seen at the MTV Awards
Katy Perry wakes up some days not knowing which gender she is. “Why can’t I be both?!” she would ask her butler….
Kay definitely has a unique look and style. She shared some of her fashion tips and tricks.
We all know Lady Gaga’s infamous meat dress she wore to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, and now the dress is heading to the Rock Hall Of Fame, reports the Chicago Tribune.
The dress, which raised a few eyebrows, was designed by Franc Fernandez and Nicola Formichetti, Gaga’s personal stylist and creative director of Thierry Mugler.
It also infuriated many animal activists, including Peta, who said of the dress: ”Meat is the decomposing flesh of a tormented animal who didn’t want to die, and after a few hours under the TV lights, it would smell like the rotting flesh it is and likely be crawling in maggots — not too attractive, really.”
Although the dress didn’t receive much praise from the fashion industry, it will be showcased at the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland on Thursday as part of its current ‘Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power’ exhibit.
The museum says the exhibit “highlights the flashpoints, the firsts, the best, the celebrated — and sometimes lesser known women — who moved rock and roll music and American culture forward.”
My question is how are they preserving the dress? Did they freeze the meat? The exhibition is only one day long, so will they just toss it when it’s done? I think it should be auctioned for charity, and then someone can do whatever they want with it. Eat it, wear it, preserve it.
Well, if that isn’t a cover, I don’t know what is.
Emma Watson looks stunning on Vogue’s July cover next month. She’s one of the few that can pull off the short hair look, and is definitely rocking it here. It’s a fresh change from Vogue’s usual boring covers – it’s risky, it’s eye-catching, and it’s unique.
In the magazine, the actress reveals that James Franco and Daniel Radcliffe have both been huge supporters in times of trouble.
Franco was apparently a huge help on how to get an education while maintaing a career as an actor.
“It was such a relief to speak to someone who is trying to do the same thing I’m doing,” she told the magazine. “I talked to him about juggling studying and making films and going backward and forward. He’s not afraid or limited by what he fears people will say about it.”
Meanwhile, Radcliffe was apparently playing Cupid to her recent flames.
“We would help each other with relationship advice,” Radcliffe says. “Particularly funny were the moments when we would help each other compose texts to the most recent flames in either of our lives (not too flirty, but not too subtle either!).”
“It was certainly a case of the blind leading the blind, but it was extremely funny.”
Watson is a true class act, and she looks gorgeous here. Well done, Vogue.
Mary-Kate Olsen and Kanye West are rumoured to be a new romance, reports Canoe Jam.
The duo are reported to be an item after seen kissing during a night out. West was celebrating his birthday at the Submercer Bar in New York City’s Mercer Hotel, where he invited Olsen to party with him during a chat at the Annual Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards.
West turned 34 on Wednesday, and the New York Post’s ‘Page Six’ reports seeing the two schmoozing. Olsen will turn 25 with her twin sister Ashley on June 13, and was recently linked to sneaker designer Seth Campbell.
What a fashionable duo this would be – I’m very, very for this romance. How much more cooler can you get? I could only imagine the outfits they would coordinate if they were an item, it’s just too heavenly.
The meat dress, the 10 inch heels, the headpieces. All of Lady Gaga’s most unique outfits have earned her the honour of ‘Style Icon’ at the Council of Fashion Designers of America awards last night, reports Billboard.
On stage to accept her award, a soft-spoken Gaga said to the audience at Lincoln Center: “All of you made me feel like a star before I was,” of course referring to the many fashion hard-hitters in attendance such as Marc Jacobs, Anna Wintour, and Michael Kors.
In her thank you speech, Gaga talked about the importance of fashion in her life as an artist and individual. She also shared how when she was younger, she would plan her outfits for Friday nights as though she was going to the Oscars. That doesn’t surprise me.
“As much as this award means to me personally … I just want you to know how much this means to young Americans,” Gaga also said.
Gaga got all decked out for the event, wearing a see-through corset with a long frilly train, custom designed by Mugler, the label she helped revive and constantly sports.
So how did Gaga find out the news that she won? She apparently got a text message from Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Who knew she texts?
She told the crowd she thought the message was from a friend named Anna and replied with a bleep-worthy response. The text back from Wintour said, “How lovely.”
Congrats to Gaga, if anyone deserves it, it’s her!
The MTV Movie Awards were last night, so of course, all of Hollywood’s leading ladies were out to show off their outfits and what not. Some great, some not so great.
Overall, the red carpet was a little boring. Nobody really pushed the envelope or delivered a ‘wow factor.’ The best outfits were really only ‘cute,’ meanwhile the bad were disastrous. I get it, it’s not the oscars, but I think a little more effort could have been put into it. Photos courtesy of MTV.
Here’s some of my favourites. We have Kristen Stewart in Balmain, Elle Fanning in D&G, Hailee Steinfeld in Louis Vuitton (my favourite of the night!) and Emma Watson in Marchesa.
Singing sisters Jessica and Ashlee Simpson are going to launch a tween clothing line, reports Billboard.
The line will be launched under the ‘Jessica Simpson Collection’ label and will include everything from sportswear to denim to fashion-forward pieces. The line will hit stores in the fall.
Jessica and Ashlee will reportedly serve as the collection’s co-creative directors.
“Creating a tween apparel collection was a natural extension for the brand. I’m excited to bring my sister, Ashlee, along as co-creative director of this division, because she brings a savvy rocker edge that defines today’s tweens,” Jessica told WWD.
Ashlee adds, “My goal as co-creative director will be to design clothes that will help inspire young girls to express their personalities and creativity through fashion.”
Scoff not at this idea, though. Jessica’s adult clothing line, titled ‘The Jessica Simpson Collection’ and features virtually anything from shoes to handbags, racked in a total of $750 million in 2010.
I think the line will do well, as all of Simpson’s clothing ventures do. I think she markets it right, prices it low, and creates items that appeal to a large demographic.
Brit singer Lily Allen has released a clothing line called ‘Lucy in Disguise,’ which is a vintage inspired line that Lily designed with her sister Sarah Owen.
The duo debuted their line last week at department store Harvey Nichols, and their clothing will begin being sold on June 6, reports Perez Hilton.
The line, unlike many celeb clothing lines, seems to have a very good concept and look. It’s very her style, but it remains marketable to many other women. Some of the pieces are a little risky, like the red jumpsuit or ruffled black dress, but if that’s your kind of style, you can totally rock it.
Check out some images of the line below, and let us know what you think. Too hipster-cute, or just the right balance of fashion and fun?

Katie Holmes is letting her 18-year-old stepdaughter, Isabella Cruise, apprentice at the actress’s fashion line called ‘Holmes & Yang,’ E Online reports.
Tom Cruise, Katie’s husband and Isabella’s father, shared his excitement for Isabella last week at a tribute dinner in his honor in L.A.
“Kate’s designing and [Isabella] is just working her way up,” Cruise said.
“She’s an artist, Bella, so it’s really great that she gets to work with it,” said Cruise. “She’s loving it.”
While Katie and son Connor were on hand to watch Tom receive the Humanitarian Award that night at the Beverly Wilshire, Bella was on her way back from the Big Apple to begin her apprenticeship.
Well, I’m jealous. Wouldn’t it be nice to be the child of a famous person who can help you with whatever career you want? I always thought little Suri would be the fashionista of the house, but looks like Isabella is well on her way to being a new designer. Good luck!
Lily Allen is moving into the fashion business and partnering with her sister Sarah Owen. The new line will focus on vintage-inspired garments, according to a report this week in Women’s Wear Daily.
The line will be called Lucy in Disguise, which is also the name of the sisters’ vintage shop located in London’s Covent Garden district. The new collection was reportedly designed with a fictional clotheshorse, named Lucy, in mind.
“(Lucy’s) a time-traveling fashionista, who’s inviting you to explore her wardrobe,” Allen explained at a press conference. “It’s a great opportunity to play with the character.”
You can see a slideshow of the line here. What are your thoughts? Is it anything you would buy?
David and Victoria Beckham are welcoming a baby girl into their family, a source tells Perez Hilton. The two stars have three boys, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, six, but will welcome their first daughter into the family. I have no doubt in my mind that Victoria will dress her in Chanel and Prada baby clothes.
David made the announcement at an LA Galaxy press conference on Friday, March 11. Earlier, on Wednesday, David made a visit to the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital and said his wife is feeling good in her fifth month of pregnancy.
“She’s great, she’s very healthy. She’s feeling good. She’s in London at the moment working,” the Daily Mail quoted David. ”We’re very excited. It’s an exciting time for the family,” he added.
I’m so happy that they got a girl, I’m betting they really wanted one to balance out their three younger boys. Every parent says “oh, it doesn’t matter what sex it is!” but I know they are lying. Victoria, without a doubt, wants a little girl to dress up and go shopping with. I can just imagine the luxurious and brand-filled closet that little girl will have. Either that, or the daughter will be a true daddy’s girl and be into sports. Then, she will have the best coach to help her improve her game. So either way, it’s a win-win for this baby!
Victoria hardly looks pregnant, though. I mean – she’s in her fifth month of pregnancy and has only the slightest bump (if you can call it that). I don’t understand, does she not eat? Is this pregnancy a scam? Put on some weight, posh, it’s in style to have a belly during pregnancy!
Lady GaGa stopped by The Gayle King Show and announced that she will be releasing not one, but two music videos for her new single ‘Born This Way’.
The first video will be out on Monday, February 28, and the second will be released later as a more stripped-down performance of the single. She will sell the video on iTunes and gear the profits towards an anti-bullying charity, which is fitting since the song is about accepting who you are and living without prejudice.
GaGa has given no hints about what the video will look like or include, but one can only imagine after her egg spectacle at the Grammys. The video is directed by Nick Knight, a British fashion photographer, who coincidentally shot GaGa for her Vanity Fair cover in September.
I’m excited for this video premiere. I can always count on GaGa to deliver something creative and exciting, a great change from predictable artists dominating the charts. Even if I hate it or don’t understand it, at least this video will leave me with some sort of emotion or opinion. As long as she’s got me talking, I’m happy.
I think that’s what a lot of pop stars today lack: creativity. When we watch a Britney Spears video or listen to a Rihanna song, do we really find ourselves that amazed or induced in thought? Of course not. It’s just another young, hot thing dancing around in her underwear. Which, at times is nice, but for the most part, not very stimulating. GaGa, on the other hand, has meaning behind her songs. She has depth, she has a voice. Whether people like her or hate her, at least she has a stance on something. And now, with two videos on the way, we’re promised double the freaky-deaky and double the opinion. Bring it.
The video is sure to be a success, though. The song went straight to #1 literally everywhere, and sold 1,000,000 copies in one week – the fastest song to do that, ever. I don’t know what it is about GaGa, but people love to scrutinize her, love to discuss her, and love to watch her. To me, that’s a modern pop star done right. Take notes, Britney.
Lauren Conrad is not loved by MTV like she thought she was. MTV bought a show following Lauren’s life after “The Hills” as she tried to build a career as a fashion designer and author. Unfortunately, MTV deemed the show was too “high brow” for their audience.
She tells the Hollywood Reporter, “We sold a show to MTV, filmed it and are really proud of the final result. MTV felt the subject matter was too highbrow for their audience and offered me the opportunity to change the show by incorporating more of my personal life.”
“We agreed going into the project that this show would be an ‘aspirational’ one, focusing on my career and my goals and not my personal relationships. We delivered the show that we sold and are sorry MTV didn’t feel their viewers were savvy enough to appreciate it.”
MTV is probably right. Numbers don’t lie and it seems that people prefer the stupidity of “Jersey Shore” rather than an up and coming professional. Snooki, you have won this round.
Ever noticed that over the past couple of years, Larry King has upped his fashion sense? And you may wonder who deserves the credit. Well it’s not his wife, but actually Ryan Seacrest.
Larry King appeared on Conan O’Brien last night as a guest, where the topic of his style came up in conversation. Larry said that Seacrest mails him jeans.
“Ryan Seacrest send you JEANS?!” Conan said, aghast. “Those are Ryan Seacrest’s jeans?!”
“No, he buys them I guess,” King responded, standing up and flaunting his wardrobe.”What do you mean: They’re not from his body! Maybe they are…”
“Maybe they are! Maybe he takes them off at night puts them in a FedEx envelope and you get them. Those are very Seacrest-y jeans, I’m telling ya.”
