Justin Timberlake thinks casual sex is a 'bad idea'

The singer-and-actor has said that being"intimate"with someone without being in a relationship with them is best avoided because it often leads to emotional complications.


He said:"It's a really good idea until it becomes a bad idea. It probably becomes a bad idea really fast.


"If you're going to be intimate with someone at some point somebody's going to feel something."


The 30-year-old heartthrob - who recently split up with Jessica Biel after four years of dating - is currently starring in 'Friends With Benefits' with Mila Kunis, which tells the story of two young professionals who decide to have a purely physical relationship which goes wrong when his character falls for Mila's.


Since breaking up with Jessica he has been romantically linked to the brunette beauty, as well as 'Tron' actress Olivia Wilde.


However, talking during a taping of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', he maintained that it is impossible for two people to have sex without at least one of them developing some sort of emotion.


TV host Ellen joked:"If it's bad, then no one's going to develop any feelings."


Justin retorted:"They'll develop a feeling but it's going to be uh, uh."

Tinie Tempah delaying the release of second album to concentrate on breaking the US

Tinie Tempah is delaying the release of his second album to concentrate on breaking the US.


The British rapper had planned to bring out a follow-up to debut 'Disc-Overy' later this year, but after his single 'Written in the Stars' went to number 14 in the US charts he is putting all his efforts into making it big there.


A source told the Daily Star newspaper: 'Tinie has got the busiest schedule around, but you'll never hear him moan. Even when he's on a plane, he's thinking of ideas for his next album, show or performance.


'As much as he wants to get new music out to his fans he doesn't want to short-change them, so the album will now come out in 2012.'


The American public appear to be very taken with Tinie, especially after discovering he hung out with Prince William and his fiancee Kate Middleton at last year's Radio One's Big Weekend event in his homw country.


The source added: 'All the Americans want to ask Tinie is about meeting the royals. They're overwhelmed at the story of Wills declaring himself a big fan of his debut single 'Pass Out'.'


Tinie, 22, was also flattered by his meeting with royalty, telling BANG Showbiz:"Prince William came to watch me, and that was a really surreal.


"To think that the future king of England was watching my set and, like, singing along to my lyrics was a little bit crazy.


"But he was so sincere and just one hundred per cent, just very much personal and nice to know - we got on like a house on fire."

Debbie Harry used to have a crush on Marilyn Monroe

The Blondie singer has always been"open-minded"when it comes to her sexuality and admits she was attracted to the legendary sex symbol when she was growing up.


In an interview with Q magazine, she said:"I fancied all the classic blonde Hollywood stars. Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield ... Did I really fancy them? Sure, there's some bisexuality to that. It's definitely a part of girl's chemistry. We are all looking at each other in a sexual way. It's about imitation, sure - 'Oooh, she has nice hair or a nice ass' - but there's also desire. I am open-minded, as you know."


As well as being attracted to women, Debbie also had crushes on several famous men when she was a teenager, including Beatles drummer Ringo Starr.


The 65-year-old star said:"What about men? Well, I had a huge crush on Ringo Starr. He seemed the happy one. What did it for me was those big, droopy smiley eyes. Paul (McCartney) was nice bouncing around with his cheeky face, and sure he could write a pretty song ... John (Lennon) seemed like he had some issues and then he got the beard and the glasses - you couldn't have even seen what you were locking lips with, right? It was Ringo for me. Or Elvis (Presley)."

Green Day close 'American Idiot' musical in style on Broadway

Green Day played an hour-long farewell concert as the 'American Idiot' musical drew to a close on Broadway Mon night.


The punk band ' made up of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool ' performed a 10-song set, which included hits such as 'Holiday' and 'Burnout', at the St. James Theatre in New York City as the cast danced behind them drinking beer.


Following frontman Billie Joe's departure from the cast at the end of January, ticket sales for the musical had suffered.


However, the rocker reprised his role as St. Jimmy for the production's final three weeks, beginning on April 5.


Although it's Broadway run is coming to an end, 'American Idiot' - which follows the life of disaffected youth Johnny as he flees his parents' suburban home - is going to continue as a touring production which will kick-off in the US in autumn 2011.


Meanwhile, 'Milk' screenwriter Dustin Lance Black is in talks to write the script for the film version of the musical - which is based around the band's seminal 2004 concept album.


Michael Mayer is set to direct the big screen project, while Billie Joe is to play St. Jimmy once again.


When 'American Idiot' first opened in 2010, the rocker admitted he was proud of the way the musical"moves"people.


Billie Joe said:"It moves people. I think it's the same reason why you would want to go see a band play live, you know?


"It's a record that's coming to life, it's in your face, and it's a story. That's what 'American Idiot' does. That's what it does in the music, and that's what it does onstage."

The Script drummer denies it's him

Glen Power often denies he is in The Script when people approach him.


The drummer ' who formed the band with Mark Sheehan and Danny O'Donoghue ' is still getting used to fame and sometimes finds it easier to pretend he is someone else.


He explained: ' still don't feel like I'm famous, I find it a little bit embarrassing when someone comes up and goes, 'Are you the guy from The Script?' Sometimes I deny it at first.


't really hasn't sunk in for us yet, we're still the three lads who got together in a shed and had a jam. I'm still getting used to it, like when I'm at home in Dublin walking down the street and I see someone staring at me, I usually think it's because I have something on my face.'


People recognising him in the street is not the only problem Glen has had to deal with, he revealed he was once left feeling extremely uncomfortable when a fan gave him a hug but would not let go.


He said: 'She was a lovely lady and all but it was a bit bizarre. There was this woman I was talking to and I said, 'Right thanks, great to see you,' and I gave her a hug but then when I went to pull away she kept her hands locked around my neck.


'That was very uncomfortable, she just wouldn't let go even though I was going, 'Let go of me,' and she couldn't understand, she just said, 'What's the problem,' and I was saying, 'You're hanging off me, will you let go?' That's the most awkward I've ever felt with a fan.


' said to her, 'You have to let go, if I did this to you, you could call the police.' '

The 'Halo' singer ' who released new single 'Run The World (Girls)' today (21.04.11) ' has asked the 'S&M' star to record a duet for her new, as yet untitled record, set to be released in June.


The pair reportedly first discussed working together at this year's Grammys, and have now set time aside in their schedules to work on the track.


A source told website M is For Music:"Rihanna has wanted to work with Beyonce for some time now and, after talking about a duet at this year's Grammys, they have finally managed to set aside some time to record together.


"The song will feature on Beyonce's album and will be a number one smash hit for sure."


Meanwhile, fans are eagerly awaiting the video to 'Run The World (Girls)', which is directed by Francis Lawrence, who has previously worked with Lady Gaga on her 'Bad Romance' video.


He said:"It'll be big, it'll probably be one of the bigger Beyonce music videos ever done and, I can say that I think the song is unbelievable."


However, he refused to give any more details as he claims 'Single Ladies' star Beyonce was upset when an unfinished version of the song hit the internet earlier this month.


He added:"She would probably have me shot if I said anything, some stuff spilled out, but she wasn't happy about it, so I've been sworn to secrecy."

Lady Gaga has considered having permanent face implants

The 'Judas' singer has been sporting raised bumps which give an angular appearance to her face and shoulders in photos for her new album 'Born This Way', but her boyfriend wasn't supportive of her idea of making the changes permanent.


She told NME magazine: ' did look into having them done permanently but decided against it. Mostly because of my boyfriend, if you want the truth.'


Gaga is currently dating bar manager and musician Carl Luc, whom she first got together with in 2005, but they split when she first found fame, though they reunited last year.


The 'Bad Romance' hitmaker's modified look has been compared to French artist Orlan, who has modified her face as artwork a number of times through plastic surgery.


Upon hearing of Orlan and seeing pictures of her for the first time, Gaga said: 't's quite beautiful. That's weird. It's very fabulous, I'm going to be inspired by her now.'

Take That have hired their own personal chef to tour with them

The 'Greatest Day' group have enlisted a caterer to look after them while they are on their 'Progress Live' tour, but rather than cooking up tasty treats to order, he has been employed to help the quintet count their calories.


Singer Jason Orange said: 'We've got our own chef for the first time. They will be catering just for us on tour."


His bandmate Robbie Williams jokingly added:"Yeah, it's Howard. He can do a good turn in the kitchen."


Gary Barlow - who is also joined in the band by Howard Donald and Mark Owen ' has admitted to previously battling weight problems and depression after the band split in 1996.


He said: 'For a couple of years in the late 90s I suffered with depression and I ballooned to 233lbs by the year 2000. I was practically immobile and found it hard to move around. I remember waking up one morning and trying to sit up in bed and it was so hard. Getting out of bed was such an effort.'


The group reunited in 2005 without Robbie, who subsequently rejoined in July 2010.


They have promised their upcoming tour will have more advanced pyrotechnics and special effects than they have ever performed with before, even topping the band's acclaimed 2009 'Circus Live' shows where they brought an 'elephant' on stage.

Lady Gaga 'f***ing shell shocked' by comparisons between 'Born This Way' and Madonna's 'Express Yourself'

Lady Gaga was"f***ing shell shocked"by comparisons between 'Born This Way' and Madonna's 'Express Yourself'.


The singer was surprised and upset people would compare the lead single from her new album - which has been a huge international hit - with Madonna's 1989 track, and she can see no similarities herself.


She told NME magazine:"I was f***ing shell shocked by it. If you put the songs next to each other, side by side, the only similarities are the chord progression. It's the same one which has been in disco music for the last 50 years.


"Just because I'm the first artist in 25 years to think of putting it on Top 40 radio doesn't mean I'm a plagiarist, it means I'm f***ing smart. Sorry."


Gaga also feels the message of the song - which has been hailed a gay anthem - came to her from God, and people are always looking to criticise her just because she has become so famous.


She added:"I feel like, honestly, that God sent me those lyrics and that melody. When you feel a message to give to the world and people are shooting arrows through it - there's no way for something that pure to be wrong."


Gaga's next single, 'Judas' is out now.

Alexis Jordan wants to duet with Tinie Tempah

The 19-year-old US singer is a huge fan of the 'Written in the Stars' rapper and admitted she was also impressed with his 'gentlemanly' behaviour when they recently met.


She said: ' love Tinie Tempah, his music is so awesome. I love the way he does dance music, but then his rapping is also awesome. I met him recently and he was a gentleman.


'So was Chipmunk actually, I was surprised by that because his music is so hardcore!'


Tinie and Chipmunk are not the only British artists Alexis is a huge fan of, as she would also love to work with dubstep singer Katy B.


She said: ' think Katy B is amazing, she's really talented. I love Adele and Professor Green too, there are so many different variations in musical style here in the UK, so it's difficult to choose just one.'


While Alexis doesn't want to emulate any other female artist she has admitted she would love to have the longevity of Mariah Carey's career.


She added: 'The artist whose career everyone would want is Mariah Carey because she's been on the top of her game since she was my age until now, which is really amazing.'

New T in the Park announcements!

I've always regarded T in the Park as the best UK festival and here's why. A few hours ago Blink 182 announced their decision to drop out of the festival, yet we're now greeted with some fantastic new bands to compensate.


The band likely to fill their slot is The Strokes, already headlining Reading festival. Alongside The Strokes TITP have also announced that former Guns n Roses guitarist Slash will now be making appearance, as will Pete Doherty who played the festival last year with Babyshambles. In addition to this T in the Park have also confirmed appearances from Fun Lovin' Criminals, Mona, The Naked&Famous, Jevlin and finally Jenny&Johnny.


As of yet, no news as to what Oxegen plan to do about Blink-182's abscence, although expect a similar array of artists to be announced shortly.

Beach Boys release rare track for Japan

Al Jardine has enlisted the voices and support of former Beach Boys bandmates Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Bruce Johnston to release a new vinyl single in support of Japan relief efforts.


The first side of the single contains Don't Fight the Sea, a song composed by Jardine and Terry Jacks and originally recorded for Jardine's album A Postcard From California. He is joined on the track by the three living Beach Boys along with an archive vocal by the late Carl Wilson. The flip side is an a capella mix from 1968 of the Beach Boys song Friends.


Jardine commented"We felt that the song had a nice basic message of friendship. I also like the idea of that song, because the vocals are a bit under appreciated. So this release was a perfect place to showcase the idea of harmony and friendship. Everybody is behind it 100%, that's the nice part."


The single will be out next Tuesday, April 19, although Jardine will bring advanced copies with him to a couple of Record Store Day events. The first 1,000 copies will be pressed in white vinyl with a red label (ala the Japanese flag) with the balance in black vinyl. Approximately 90 of the first run will be signed by all four Beach Boys.


100% of the proceeds from the single will go to the Red Cross aid to Japan.

LeAnn Rimes has agreed to donate some of her clothes to a female fan with financial problems.


The singer-and-actress ' who is engaged to actor Eddie Cibrian - revealed earlier this week she was spending time clearing out her closet and was amazed at how long the task took her.


She tweeted:"Three solid hrs of closet organization. The shoes... they're everywhere. Even on the back if the door... all organized though! The shelves are three rows deep under the bags! Everyone has a vice... mine are shoes and handbags. (sic)"


After reading her message, Peggy Joyce made an appeal to the singer, explaining she is struggling to raise her toddler son and has little cash left over for luxuries.

Chas and Dave hope they influenced Arctic Monkeys

Chas and Dave hope they influenced Arctic Monkeys to sing in their regional accent.


The London duo are famed for singing in cockney voices and using rhyming slang in their songs, and pianist Chas Hodges hopes this has influenced younger bands ' such as the North English group - to be proud to incorporate their roots into their tracks.


He told the Norwich Evening News newspaper: 'You can hear from my voice I'm not putting any of it on. The idea of singing like this came when I was on tour in America and singing with an American accent.


' felt a fraud and so came back to England and met with Dave with the idea of songs in my own accent. I love someone like the Arctic Monkeys who do the same with a Sheffield accent. Maybe they're taking a leaf out of our book.'


The 'Gertcha' group ' completed by David Peacock ' are currently playing their final tour together, but aren't sad as their records are already proving to have a lasting legacy.


Chas added: 'The beauty of it is, there's always the records, which will always be around. There was a little coincidence yesterday ' my wife told me a friend of hers was speaking about a funeral she'd been to, and as they played the fellow out they were playing 'The Sideboard Song 'by Chas and Dave. That's the great thing, the songs are not just made for the moment, they're made forever.'

Evanescence 'very excited' about entering the studio

Amy Lee beams about heading into the studio to create the long-awaited third Evanescence album.


It has been five years since Lee and Evanescence released their second album, the massive smash The Open Door, selling over 5 million copies via a polished mix of emo metal and ivory-tinkling.


Now Lee and guitarist Terry Balsam, and new members Tim McCord (on bass) and Will Hunt (on drums), have just entered the studio to record the follow-up.


Lee said in a press release: 'We can't wait to show everyone what we've been working on! We've written more than an album of songs. We've been finding ourselves, reinventing our sound, experimenting with things we've never done before and at the same time embracing the things we love most about Evanescence.


'This journey has made us the strongest we've ever been as a band, and I am in love with the music. Nick Rasculinecz is the perfect fit for this record and we are all very excited to get into the studio together.'


Rasculinecz is at the producing helm (replacing Boy and War producer Steve Lillywhite). He has previously worked on albums by Foo Fighters, Stone Sour, Deftones and Alice In Chains.


Their label hasn't specified a release date, but September this year has been mooted in the past.

JLS have written 16 tracks for their third album

The 'Eyes Wide Shut' hitmakers are currently in Los Angeles working on a new record and say initial sessions have proved particularly fruitful.


Band member Jonathan 'JB' Gill said: 't's going really well.'


His bandmate Oritse Williams added: 't's off to a good start. We've written around 16 tracks so far.'


The group - which also includes Aston Merrygold and Marvin Humes ' have previously told of their plans to learn instruments for their new album.


Marvin, 25, said:"We all want to play our own instruments. We want to take the band forward.


"Take That inspired us. We've already decided what we're playing - I'm playing drums and Oritse is on guitar."


Jonathan added:"I used to play the piano and I'm going to take it up again. I feel like I've lost touch with it and I want to be able to play it on stage as well as on future albums."


The band is keen to stay together as a group and have ruled out any of them going solo at this point in their career.


Aston said: 'We're new to this game as a group. It feels like we've been here for a little while but we're still new.'


Jonathan added: 'Before the group we were all doing solo things and that didn't work.

We're strong and unified and that won't change.'

Keith Urban says the love of his wife Nicole Kidman and kids helped him give up his addictions

Keith Urban says the love of his wife Nicole Kidman and his children has helped him give up his addictions for good.


The country singer ' who has two daughters, Sunday Rose, two, and three-month-old Faith, with the actress ' checked into a clinic to be treated for drug and alcohol abuse just four months after he married the 'Rabbit Hole' star in June 2006, and he now realises the reason he was took substances was to make up for the lack of 'intimacy' in his life.


He told Good Weekend magazine: ' think I've spent my life fearful of intimacy. The result was a feeling of 'being without', this hole I tried to fill with all those other things. The only thing that has really filled it has been the love of my wife and our daughters.'


Keith wishes he had met Nicole earlier in his life, but he is now grateful for every day he gets to spend with her.


He added: 'The way in which it happened has turned out to be divinely inspired.'


Keith has previously admitted he was terrified his stint in rehab would destroy his marriage to Nicole, who staged an intervention with some of their friends.


The musician ' who had been to a treatment clinic on two prior occasions - said:"I thought, 'Surely let's give it a few years so we've got some solidity, because this kind of thing could tear us apart. This could just destroy us.'


"It was really a profound moment in so many ways. The way in which Nic handled that moment was just perfect ... Everything was just designed, I believe, for that moment to fuse us together."

Bob Dylan performs his first ever concert in China

Bob Dylan performs his first ever concert in China (06.04.11).


The 69-year-old musical legend was granted permission to give the concert at the Worker's Gymnasium in central Beijing after having his music vetted by censors, though some of his more well-known protest songs - including 'The Times They Are A-Changin'' and 'Blowin' In The Wind' - were dropped from his set so as not to offend the country's communist government.


However, the two-hour performance saw the 5,000-strong crowd entertained by the folk singer's classic tracks, including 'Like a Rolling Stone', 'Ballad of a Thin Man' and 'Highway 61 Revisited'.


Audience member Zhang Tian told Billboard.com:"I was a little disappointed that he didn't sing many of his songs because of the politics. What is the government so afraid of?"


However, the singer's appearance impressed other fans.


Yin Yang said:"I know his songs from karaoke, but I'm really not that familiar with him. I think this was a historic concert and I'm glad I've seen him."


The performance comes after Bob was refused permission to perform by China's Culture Ministry - who must approve every concert that takes place in the country -last year.


Dylan will perform in Shanghai and Hong Kong next week as part of a tour marking 50 years since his first major live performance.


Bob Dylan's China setlist:


'Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking'

'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue'

'Beyond The Horizon'

'Tangled Up In Blue'

'Honest With Me'

JLS looking forward to having families

JLS Star Marvin Humes says the whole band are looking forward to becoming fathers.


The 26-year-old singer ' who recently reconciled with The Saturdays star Rochelle Wiseman following a four-month split ' wants to have a large family and thinks his bandmates have similar attitudes towards parenthood.


When asked if was planning on having children, Marvin said: ' want loads. I'm from a big family and it's made me want the same. We all can't wait to be dads.'


In order to further cement their love, Marvin and Rochelle recently enjoyed an 'amazing' romantic break to Dubai.


Recalling their trip, he told new! magazine: 't was amazing. We had a picnic in the desert and we went swimming with dolphins, which was amazing.'


Although Marvin is ready to settle down and his bandmate Jonathan 'JB' Gill, 24, also has a girlfriend, the rest of the group, Aston Merrygold, 23, and Oritse Williams, 25, are currently single and happy that way.


Aston said: ''m young, single and I have fun. Let's leave it at that.'


It was recently revealed that Marvin splashed out on a£2,000 bag and a silver eternity ring for Rochelle after they got back together.


A source said at the time:"When they split up, both parties were utterly miserable.


"They went for a private drink a couple of weeks ago and decided to give their relationship another shot. After presenting her with the bag and eternity ring, smitten Marvin suggested they think about moving in together.


"As far as romance is concerned, it is full steam ahead."

Bill Wyman reunites with Rolling Stones on new tribute album

Bill Wyman has reunited with his former Rolling Stones bandmates for a new tribute album.


The bassist ' who left the 'Satisfaction' group in 1992 ' has teamed up with Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood to record a version of Bob Dylan's 'Watching The River Flow' on new charity record 'Boogie 4 Stu', a compilation in tribute to the band's co-founder Ian Stewart.


The quintet did get together in the studio to make the track however, with each laying down their parts in separate studios around the world.


A source explained: 'Charlie and Ronnie were already playing on the album and then Keith recorded his parts in New York, including 'Watching The River Flow'.


'This was emailed back to Mick in France and he sent it back with a vocal and harmonica track. Bill also put the bassline on.'


The Rolling Stones have used session musician Darryl Jones both live and in the studio since Bill left the group, and recorded their last album together in 2005.


A rumoured tour to mark the band's 50th anniversary next year has yet to be confirmed, but Keith, Charlie and Ronnie have all said they are keen for the band to go on the road again.


Although Ian was not a fully fledged member of the band, he played keyboard and piano with the Rolling Stones until he passed away aged 47 in 1985.

She explained: ' love porn! You know what I love about hotels? How discreet they are.

Dave Grohl has never felt guilty about his success

The Foo Fighters frontman started off as a punk rock drummer before rising to superstardom in grunge band Nirvana, and said he dislikes the purist attitude some bands have toward successful groups.


He told Q Magazine:"Don't get me started on guilt. Honestly, guilt and music should have nothing to do with each other. Growing up in the punk rock scene, unfortunately there were rules.


"You'd imagine that'd be the one place you'd be free of any boundaries. But you weren't supposed to do certain things.


"To me, I was a musician. I loved the Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains and all this punk rock s**t, but I also loved Motorhead, Venom and f***ing ABBA. I didn't have that guilt. I can be friendly with the Jonas Brothers and Bob Mould."


Dave, 42, added that while he wasn't guilty for his success, it deeply affected Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994.


He said:"The whole thing with guilt is... Of course it burnt a hole in Kurt's stomach. It had a lot to do with how uneasy he felt about Nirvana's success. But s**t, I didn't."


Foo Fighters' seventh album 'Wasting Light' is released on April 11.
