| Maroon 5 to record in Switzerland with Mutt Lange |
[11 Jul 2009|10:21pm] |
Band will begin work on third album next week
Maroon 5 are headed to Switzerland next week to work on their third album with Robert John ‘Mutt’ Lange.
The record is the follow-up to ‘It Won’t be Soon Before Long’, and according to guitarist James Valentine, the band have written a number of songs that will likely make it on to the record:
“The two stand out songs so far are called ‘How’ and ‘Don't Know Much About That’,” Valentine tells NME.COM, adding that a direction for the record has yet to be decided:
“It's still hard to say what the vibe will be yet, so much will change once we get in the studio and past this demoing phase. There have been a batch of straight-ahead rock songs and a batch of more dance-y and classic soul-influenced tunes.”
Maroon 5 have sold over 15 million albums worldwide, and have gone gold and platinum in over 35 countries. Their new album is due out in 2010.
Lange’s previously worked with the likes of AC/DC and The Cars.

| The World's Hottest Vampire |

Note: The article originally came from a Swedish website, which I ran through Google translator. I then did my best to copyedit it, but it's not perfect.
13-year-old Lina Leandersson has received awards in the U.S. for "best breakthrough role," and for "best female leading role." But she has no idea when DD hits her. "Oh, what fun! But it feels really weird," she says.
Nine months have passed since the premiere of the hit movie "Let the Right One In". Although the film has been sold to over 50 countries and has received lots of awards and accolades, life is not very different for Lina Leandersson, one of the protagonists.
She will begin in eighth grade at Gruvrisskolan and dances, studying and socializing with friends at leisure.
But she has a dream to start a theater or film school in high school. "The dream is to support me as an actress and to play different kinds of roles, "she says.
In "Let the Right One In" Lina Leandersson plays Eli, which is a different role. Eli is the vampire, which Lina Leandersson had no idea when she searched the role. She saw on the internet to search for a 12 year old boy or girl who were good at running, so she searched believing that it was "an ordinary film at the cinema."
"I got a shock when they said that Eli was a vampire. But it was just fun, "she says.
And the role seems to suit her. Several scenes were played in three on the night - and she tends to be brisk. "I fall asleep wake up three and eight, so I sleep only five hours. Then I can sleep away a whole day of the week, "she says.
In November last year Lina Leandersson was listed as one of the world's hottest vampires, along with Robert Pattison from the movie "Twilight" and Stephen Moyer from the television series "True Blood".
It was USA Today, the USA's largest newspaper, which examined the phenomenon of vampire movies and felt that the only 13-year old actress was one of the best in the industry.

At first, it is essential to know that no name is determined at the moment, so forget the rumour about “Dark Angels”, “K.A.R.M.A”, “Bad Girl Gone Good” etc. Rihanna has chosen the name of the album a few weeks ago, but want to keep it as a secret until the last moment, to avoid any leak.
Numerous artists are collaborating on this album, which will be very certainly an enormous success and will make the return of Rihanna an inevitable come-back worldwide.

| La Toya Jackson: "Michael Was Murdered" |
[11 Jul 2009|09:21pm] |
One week after Los Angeles police confirmed that investigators had not ruled out homicide in the death of Michael Jackson, the late singer's older sister, La Toya Jackson, reveals that she suspects he was murdered, the U.K.'s Mail On Sunday reports.
"I believe Michael was murdered," she said. "I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. He was surrounded by a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who weren’t always on his side."
She blamed this "shadowy entourage" for supplying him with prescription drugs.
"They got him hooked on drugs," she said. "He was pure and clean and then drugs came back into his system. I think it shocked his system so much it killed him."
Although results from toxicology tests will take a few more weeks to reveal a definitive cause of death, La Toya -- who signed Michael's death certificate on June 25 after he suffered a cardiac arrest at the age of 50 -- is certain the investigation will reveal her worst fears.

| GLAAD Slams 'Bruno' |
[11 Jul 2009|09:44pm] |
|
LOS ANGELES — The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation said Friday that "Bruno," the new film starring Sacha Baron Cohen, reinforces negative stereotypes and "decreases the public's comfort with gay people."
GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios, who saw the film Friday, said that "the movie was a well-intentioned series of sketches _ some hit the mark and some hit the gay community pretty hard and reinforce some damaging, hurtful stereotypes."
In a style similar to his popular Borat character, Baron Cohen brings Bruno, a flamboyantly gay Austrian fashionista, into ridiculous situations with unsuspecting everyday people.
Universal Pictures, which released "Bruno," sought GLAAD's input on the film and invited staff members to advance screenings, Barrios said.
The organization "shared a number of concerns, and unfortunately, the scenes that we had the biggest concerns about remained in the film," Barrios said.
One such scene shows Bruno in a hot tub with his adopted infant son and two naked men involved in a sex act.
"Scenes like that don't help America understand the hundreds of thousands of gay families who get up every day, do the carpool then rush home to make dinner and be with their children," Barrios said.
Similarly, the movie's mock marriage scene "doesn't help Americans understand the lives of gay couples who are denied the rights and protections of marriage in 43 states," he said.
Universal Pictures maintains that "Bruno" is a satire that "uses provocative comedy to powerfully shed light on the absurdity of many kinds of intolerance and ignorance, including homophobia."
"While any work that dares to address relevant cultural sensitivities might be misinterpreted by some or offend others, we believe the overwhelming majority of the audience will understand and appreciate the film's inarguably positive intentions, which we've seen demonstrated whenever we have shown it," the studio said in a statement.
Barrios said that while he believes the filmmakers had good intentions and that some moviegoers will see the satire, "some people in the gay community will be as troubled as GLAAD is that the movie doesn't decrease homophobia, but decreases the public's comfort with gay people.

| True Blood's Michelle Forbes Ponders "The Riddle of Maryann" |
[11 Jul 2009|05:54pm] |
Michelle Forbes likes that her True Blood character, Maryann Forrester, is such an enigma. It reminds her of how she got the acting gig. "I was told a lot, yet very little, and that is the riddle of Maryann," she says, quixotically. "I was so lost initially." Join the club. You may have heard that Maryann is a maenad, and that's technically accurate — but it's certainly not the whole story. Forbes was gracious enough to help us understand Maryann's maybe-not-so-evil-after-all ways in this two-part interview. (After you watch Sunday's episode, come back Monday morning for the juicy bits of Part 2.)
