He said: "We've written about seven songs now, and hopefully maybe four or five will make it to the album. I've done about three weeks with her, and we're gonna do some more projects at the end of July. She's just really cool. I think as far as artists reinventing themselves, she did it before anybody else. She kind of began that trend of actually coming back with a whole new look and style and sound and winning it and hitting the top of the charts. Those records are gonna be crazy-sounding. We really pushed the envelope with some of the stuff we were doing."

Alex Kurtzman set to direct The Mummy


Alex Kurtzman could be set to direct a reboot of 'The Mummy'.
The 40-year-old director - whose writing credits include 'The Legend of Zorro' and 'Cowboys and Aliens' - has already been confirmed as the film's producer, alongside Chris Morgan.
Jeff Kirschenbaum, co-president of production at Universal Pictures, told The Hollywood Reporter: "Over the course of developing 'The Mummy', Alex has demonstrated such clarity and passion about this character and mythology.
"He knows why 'The Mummy' has fascinated us for so long and how to bring that into an inventive, incredible new adventure. It became obvious that he is the perfect choice to be not only one of the narrative engineers of this new vision but its director as well."
Len Wiseman and Andy Muschietti were previously attached to direct the film while Sean Daniel and Bobby Cohen have been handed producing roles.
Details of the script remain a closely-guarded secret, but it's been revealed that the remake will be set in the present day and will take on an action-adventure genre rather than a horror and will feature entirely new characters.
'The Mummy' is to be the first of a series of Universal film franchises scheduled to undergo a reboot, with the studio announcing an April 2016 release date.

James Buckley likes kangaroo meat


James Buckley acquired a taste for kangaroo meat while filming 'The Inbetweeners 2'.
The 26-year-old actor - who stars as compulsive liar and supposed ladies man Jay Cartwright in the comedy series - has revealed that when he reunited with co-stars Simon Bird, Joe Thomas and Blake Harrison in the Australian outback for the filming of the sequel, they all gave the local cuisine a go.
He explained: "That is the type of place it was. If they didn't have kangaroo meat in the freezer, they'd go out and shoot and then that would be food for the next couple of weeks or whatever, however much they can get out of kangaroo.
"So now I love kangaroo. It was good having teriyaki kangaroo at a Japanese restaurant there. It was nice."
Meanwhile, Thomas - who plays hopeless romantic Simon Cooper - claimed they had to get back together for a sequel, following on from the success of the first movie and the original TV series, because they don't have any other friends.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was nice to come back to do this show because I think we had all sort of gone away and tried to do other things ... And we don't really have other friends. We've just got each other! So, yeah, it was good, it was really great to come back."
'The Inbetweeners 2' is to be released in the United Kingdom on August 6.

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to holiday in Scotland


Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are taking Prince George to Scotland for a vacation next month.
The royal couple and their 12-month-old son are set to spend some of August in the north of England to see Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla at their Highland home as well as paying a visit to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip at their Balmoral Castle.
The pair, who got married in 2011, will then spend the rest of the month at the Queen's Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where the final refurbishments are being completed on their new country home, Anmer Hall.
A source told Vanity Fair magazine: "They will be at Anmer for much of the time they have off. They cannot wait to move in and they want to make sure the last stages of the refurbishments go to plan."
The stunning 10-bedroom property has its own tennis court and swimming pool which will be perfect for little George, who is currently learning how to swim.
The Duchess - who was formerly known as Kate Middleton - revealed to former world champion James Hickman at a SportsAid charity meeting on Monday (07.28.14) that the tot enjoys splashing around in the pool at Buckingham Palace in London.
James said earlier this week: "She was at the [Commonwealth Games] swimming [event] last night, so I was just interested to know if she had taken George swimming. Hopefully if they can get him swimming he could be a future international swimmer.
"She's been swimming with him. She said he loves the water and he grabs things to splash with."

The 33-year-old singer chose the eve of her fourth wedding anniversary today (31.07.14) to announce she and husband Swizz Beatz - with who she has three-year-old son Egypt - are expecting their second child together.
Alongside an instagram picture of herself and her spouse in which she can be seen cradling her growing bump, she wrote: "Happy Anniversary to the love of my life @therealswizzz !!.
"And to make it even sweeter we've been blessed with another angel on the way!! You make me happier than I have ever known! Here's to many many more years of the best parts of life! (sic)"
Her 35-year-old producer husband - who has two other children from previous relationships - posted another picture from the same photoshoot and shared his excitement for their impending new addition to the family.
He wrote: "Love is life & life is love and we're so excited for another GIFT from up above Happy Anniversary my Goddess 4 years of greatness & cheers to 100 plus more inshallah. (sic)"
It is unclear yet when the couple will welcome their baby into the world, but back in November the 'Empire State of Mind' singer admitted they would consider having another child in the future.
Asked if Egypt wanted a sibling, she said: "I bet he does. Not right now, but never say never."

Wes Chatham and Jenn Brown expecting first child


'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay's Wes Chatham and his wife Jenn Brown are expecting their first child.
'American Ninja Warrior ' co-host Jenn, 33, will give birth in December and they could not be more excited about the new addition to their family.
They told E! News: "We are overjoyed to be expecting our little one this December and the well wishes we received today means so much!!"
And the duo are already expecting the baby to be as active as its parents.
They joked to PEOPLE: "With as much as this baby is kicking, we think we have America's first Baby Ninja Warrior!"
Wes, 35, has been cast as Castor in the third movie in the 'Hunger Games' franchise.
The film continues the story of protagonist Katniss Everdeen [Jennifer Lawrence], as she works to unify the districts of Panem in a mass rebellion against the Capitol, which has been oppressing people for years.
Wes attended San Diego Comic-Con with some of his castmates last week where they unveiled the trailer for the eagerly anticipated blockbuster.

Cody Simpson defends Justin Bieber


Cody Simpson has defended Justin Bieber following his altercation with Orlando Bloom.
The 20-year-old singer had to dodge a punch from the 'Lord of the Rings' star at a party in Ibiza yesterday (30.07.14) after reportedly making a reference to the actor's ex-wife Miranda Kerr - who he was romantically linked with during their marriage - but his pal insists his misdeeds can be put down to his youth.
Speaking on Australia's 'The Morning Show', he said: "Obviously we're all young and he gets himself into some stuff sometimes.
"He's a person I'd go to for everything. He's like a big brother."
And despite the 'Believe' singer's controversial antics - which have also included numerous run-ins with neighbours over his wild partying - Cody insists he does a "lot of good" for people.
He said: "He has the world in his hands as he does a lot of good as well. I've got all good things to say."
Justin and Orlando got into a row at swanky Ibiza restaurant Cipriani after the 'Baby' singer reportedly told the actor, "Say hi to Miranda for me," prompting him to take a swing at the young star.
Miranda's lawyer previously said that rumours she cheated on Orlando - with whom she has three-year-old son Flynn - with the 'Confident' singer after the Victoria's Secret fashion show in 2012 were "false and defamatory."

Rob Kardashian blasts ex-girlfriend?


Rob Kardashian has taken a shot at ex-girlfriend Adrienne Bailon on Twitter.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star appeared to respond to the singer-turned-talk show host's claims that dating him hurt her career by retweeting a message from sister Khloe Kardashian reading 'FDB' - an abbreviation for slang term 'F**k dat b***h'.
Khloe tweeted the jibe on Wednesday afternoon (30.07.14) just hours after sister Kim Kardashian, 33, leapt to Rob's defence and scolded Adrienne for kicking their sibling - who has been battling depression over his substantial weight gain - "when he's down".
The former 3LW singer, who dated the reality TV star for two years from 2007 to 2009, recently gave a tell-all interview in which she accused Rob of cheating on her and claims that appearing on the famous family's E! show had a negative impact on her career as a singer and actress.
She said: "To be stuck with that Kardashian label, that was so hurtful to me and to my career. I probably realised that too late - not that it would've affected my decisions in terms of who I dated, but it would've affected my decision to appear on the show."
Kim was the first Kardashian to hit back at Adrienne, tweeting: "Funny how she says being with a Kardashian hurt her career yet the only reason she has this article is bc she is talking about a Kardashian
"So sad when people try to kick my brother when he is down #FamilyForever (sic)"
Khloe, 30, later echoed Kim's sentiments and added: "thought her and I were cool SMH [shake my head] (sic)"

Kym Marsh to move in with new toyboy lover?


Kym Marsh is reportedly moving in with her new boyfriend after just three months of dating.
The 'Coronation Street' star, 38, is determined to take her whirlwind romance with toyboy lover Dan Hooper, 32, to the next level by setting up home with him.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Dan spends about three days a week at Kym's. They've talked about moving in together for good.
"It might seem quick -- but Kym knows what she wants. She is very decisive when her mind is made up."
The brunette beauty has sparked rumours marriage could also be on the cards after she recently admitted she wouldn't "rule out" walking down the aisle for the third time, despite her failed attempts with ex-husbands Jack Ryder and Jamie Lomas in the past.
She said previously: "I absolutely haven't given up on love and I wouldn't rule out getting married again."
The stunning star's romance with the personal trainer came just months after 'EastEnders' star Jamie filed for divorce in October following 13 months of marriage.
Meanwhile, Kym was recently blasted by her former friend Stephanie Waring - who plays Cindy Cunningham in 'Hollyoaks' - for dating her ex-partner Dan, who is the father of her daughter Lexi, three.
However, the former singer - who has three children, David, 19, and Emily, 16, from her relationship with Dave Cunliffe and three-year-old Polly with Jamie - insists she's looking forward to a brighter future ahead.
She said previously: "I've not had the best of luck in the past 12 months. I keep getting things thrown at me. I'm just looking to the future and hoping for better times and I'm sure they're coming or happening."

Tom Hardy to play Marco Pierre White in biopic?


Tom Hardy wants to play Marco Pierre White in the Hollywood film based on his life.
The 36-year-old actor is keen to star as the bad boy chef in the upcoming biopic, which is being directed by Ridley Scott, after bonding with White, 52, over the role.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Tom and Marco have had a long dialogue about the movie.
"Marco's given his blessing and thinks Tom is the only actor who can do him justice."
The movie is based on White's memoir 'The Devil in the Kitchen: Sex, Pain, Madness and the Making of a Great Chef' and will depict his wild antics during the 1980s and growing up in a working-class British family.
The source added: "A lot of people thought Russell Crowe was the obvious pick but the movie will primarily be about Marco in his twenties and thirties.
"But Tom and Marco both have similar character traits, including coming from working-class backgrounds and can both be very intense about their work. It will be perfect casting."
The movie is also expected to star a character based on potty-mouthed celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, 47, who Marco famously trained and fell out with in 2000.

Ben Hardy receives ‘inappropriate’ messages from men


Ben Hardy receives "inappropriate invitations" from male fans.
The 'EastEnders' hunk recently posed topless for gay magazine Attitude and his steamy spread has resulted in him receiving lots of attention from male admirers on social media.
Quizzed if the sexy cover has led to more attention from girls, Ben exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I've got more tweets from boys actually on that one! It's increased the number of tweets I've received.
"I haven't been sent any weird pictures, but I get the odd inappropriate invitation. But it's fine!"
The 23-year-old actor feels fortunate to have landed a regular job in 'EastEnders' as he admits it can be a struggle for actors to find work.
He explained: "You're always aware that only eight per cent of actors are in work at one time, so you've got to be thankful for the job you've got and do the best you can."
Ben's Walford alter-ego Peter Beale was recently left reeling after his housemate Billy Mitchell - the grandfather of his girlfriend Lola Pearce - was named a potential suspect in the murder of his sister Lucy.
Asked about the plot development, Ben said: "I think Peter feels very betrayed by Billy, but he's also a very forgiving character."
