Tinie Tempah plans last album


Tinie Tempah claims his third album will be his last.
The 'Trampoline' rapper insists he's not retiring but he's bored of putting out albums and thinks there are better ways to let fans hear his music using digital platforms and streaming services.
According to The Sun newspaper, he said: "This is a Spotify/iTunes/shuffle generation.
"I don't think people really listen to albums completely from track one to 12.
"People now curate their own playlists so I think it's clever to beat them to it and say, 'Here it is, done for you.'
"A third album will emerge some time but I think another after that is uncertain."
The artist, who last released 'Demonstration' in 2013, wants to release a series of EPs for fans and claims the rise of celebrity producers and DJs is killing the careers of singers.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "Producers are the new rock stars but they aren't the artists. It's killing the opportunity for any real solid artists to have well-rounded careers.
"The charts are so producer-driven these days. Even though there's a vocal on the song, it's all about the beat and who made it."
The 26-year-old star, who is performing at Wireless Festival in London and Birmingham this weekend, thinks there isn't many "album level artists emerging" because it's all about tracks.
He said: "For example, Jess Glynne is an amazing new singer and I hope people don't ignore her solo stuff just because it's not with Clean Bandit."

5SOS: It’s disrespectful to trash hotel rooms


5 Seconds of Summer think it's "disrespectful" to trash hotel rooms on tour.
The pop-punk band - made up of Ashton Irwin, Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford and Calum Hood - insist they are very un-rock'n'roll and are often napping or out go-karting when they're not on stage.
Guitarist Michael told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "What's the point of throwing a TV out the window if SpongeBob Squarepants could be on and we could be watching it? Or Geordie Shore? What a waste.
"I think it's disrespectful to trash hotel rooms. The most rock and roll thing about us is how we sound."
The band's self-titled debut album hit number one on iTunes in 69 different countries after its release and is set to reach the top spot in the UK Albums Chart this week.
Michael, 18, insist their pre-show rituals don't involve drinking or anything outrageous and the lads just enjoy chilling out before their concerts.
He explained: "We brush our teeth, listen to some music - either heavy metal or some savage R 'n' B. We like to jump around to get all pumped up. We don't really have after-parties either. We're so busy, we barely get time to sleep. We nap whenever we can - we're always tired. We like go-karting a lot too."
Although he's not yet legal to drink, singer Luke, 17, thinks artists shouldn't enjoy a tipple before they go on stage because it gives people a bad impression.
He said: "You should never drink before you go on stage. That's a very bad idea if you want to give your all to your fans. Maybe when we're 50, on the reunion tour."

Arcade Fire kick off British Summer Time Hyde Park


Arcade Fire opened this year's Barclaycard British Summer Time at Hyde Park with a rousing performance on Thursday (03.07.14).
The indie rockers followed up their headline slot on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury last week with another major performance in London's Hyde Park, performing a slew of hits 'Reflektor', 'Joan of Arc' and 'Wake Up'.
During an anthemic encore that saw confetti shower Hyde Park, frontman Win Butler quipped to the crowd not to "wake the rich people up", making light of recent concerns from nearby residents about noise pollution.
Prior to Arcade Fire's headline performance, Jake Bugg, Wild Beasts and Future Island took the stage at the renowned London venue in front of a star-studded crowd that included Billie Piper, Abbey Clancey, Daisy Lowe, Mischa Barton and Gemma Arterton.
The big gig comes just a week after Arcade Fire - consisting of Win, his wife Regine, his brother Will Butler, Richard Reed Parry, Tim Kingsbury and Jeremy Gara - performed an "unbelievable" headline slot at Glastonbury, which they hailed as one of the "most incredible" moments of their career.
British Summer Time continues today (04.07.14) and the likes of Black Sabbath, The Libertines, Sir Tom Jones, Motorhead and Soundgarden are among the acts playing the 10-day festival until July 13.

Lindsay Lohan injured during bike ride


Lindsay Lohan has been injured during a bicycle ride.
The 'Mean Girls' star posted an image of a nasty looking cut on her Instagram account yesterday (03.07.14) and blamed the injury on a Citi Bike - which are available to rent by the public as part of New York City's bike sharing scheme.
The photo shows Lindsay - who is dressed in denim shorts - with a red scrape along the top of her thigh.
The actress - who turned 28 on Wednesday (02.07.12) - captioned the image: "A citibike gone wrong #notsoquiche !!!! [sic]"
Linday's injuries only added to what seems to have been a difficult week for the star after it was announced she was suing the creators of 'Grand Theft Auto' for using a character in her image without her permission.
The 'Canyons' star has filed a civil lawsuit against the company Take-Two Interactive over the character named Lacey Jonas for an unspecified sum of money.
The legal papers claim the "game features a mission where the plaintiff's look-alike asks another character to take her home and escape the paparazzi" and features a character sporting the same " likeness, clothing, outfits, clothing line products, ensemble in the form of hats, hair style, sunglasses, jean shorts worn by [Lohan]...before the release of the GTA V video game."
Case documents also note that the character parties at infamous celebrity haunt, the Hotel Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, "a place where the plaintiff once lived and often frequents".
Even the video game's cover strikingly resembles a famous picture of Lindsay in a swimsuit taking a selfie and making a peace sign.
The gaming company has declined to comment.

Rob Kardashian has a son?


Rob Kardashian claims he has a son.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - who has reportedly withdrawn himself from the rest of his family following his decision not to attend sister Kim Kardashian-West's wedding to Kanye West - took to Twitter to share his excitement about spending Independence Day today (04.07.14) with his "little man".
He tweeted: "Happy I got my Son with me for the 4th tomorrow !! Can't wait to watch fireworks with my little man ! Hope everyone is safe ! X (sic)"
This isn't the first time Rob - who is believed to be single - has hinted he is a father.
Just two weeks ago, he wrote: "And to my baby mama I loveeeeeeee you (sic)"
Last year, he wrote on Instagram in a post which was later deleted: "Shout out to God ... Shout out Mom, shout out to my son's mom cuz she been holding me down since high school n shout out to my son Robert the Third. lol (sic)"
And as far back as 2009, he alluded to his son in a Twitter exchange with his friend Nicole Richie.
He wrote: "Bout to take time today to see the ones whom I never see ... (sic)"
When Nicole asked, "Like your son?", he replied: "My son unfortunately doesn't stay in L.A. You know that. Don't remind me."
It was previously claimed Rob told friends his son was the result of a fling with a woman in Miami five years ago, but none of his family will talk about the child.
A source previously said: "The possibility that Rob may have a child has been the buzz in the Kardashian circle for a while, but no one knows for sure. And no one will talk about it.
"There's a good chance that the child's mother wants nothing to do with the fame, and that's why she's staying so hush."

Iggy Azalea has crush on Scarlett Johansson


Iggy Azalea says Scarlett Johansson is her ultimate girl crush.
The 'Fancy' singer is fascinated by the Hollywood screen siren and watches her movies on a loop just so she can admire her beauty.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, Iggy said: "She's my woman crush forever. I love all her films because I watch them just to look at her. I'm in awe of her beauty on screen."
Fresh from Nicki Minaj's comments at the BET Awards on Wednesday (02.07.14) criticising rappers who don't write their own lyrics - thought to be a dig at Iggy - the blonde star revealed she most admires one of the original female rappers, Missy Elliott.
Iggy, 24, said: "She (Missy) doesn't conform to what people want her to be. She writes all her own lyrics, and when does that ever happen? She's a genius."
The statuesque star also cited country queen Dolly Parton, soul legend Aretha Franklin and pop princess Beyonce as her top inspirational women.
She added: "[Beyonce] has to be in there. She's amazing, she can do everything. Dolly's ridiculous, and I love that ... Aretha proved you can be seductive, sexy and strong without the image of typical glamour."

Jordana Brewster to throw son cowboy birthday party


Jordana Brewster wants to throw a cowboy-themed party for her son's first birthday.
The 34-year-old actress would like Julian, who was born via surrogate on September 21, 2013, to celebrate his first milestone with a bash inspired by his place of birth.
She explained: "Since he was born in Texas, we kind of want to do a cowboy-themed birthday party. I feel like it would be really cute."
However, the 'Fast & Furious 6' star doesn't want the party to be an over-the-top affair as she'd prefer to keep it intimate with just her close friends and family.
She added: "We might have to borrow my sister's yard because right now we're in a rental.
"The question is, do we get the In-N-Out truck [burger fan]? That's more for the adults - it's totally for the adults. But it's so tempting!"
Although, the brunette beauty is hoping the party will have a better outcome than when she marked her husband Andrew Form's first Father's Day with Julian.
She explained to PEOPLE.com: "When you're a first time mom, you're naive to that stuff, so I just did the finger prints and foot prints and I was like, 'Oh, this will go so smoothly, I'll do it single-handedly.'
"I tried as hard as I could to get him to not make a fist, and by the time I was done, the card was a total mess, but dad [Andrew] didn't care. It was all over his foam tiles in his playroom, there was paint all over the place."

Bryan Singer moves to dismiss sexual abuse lawsuit


Bryan Singer has asked for a sexual abuse lawsuit against him to be dismissed.
The 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' director's attorneys filed a motion in Los Angeles federal court on Thursday (03.07.14) to drop allegations by an anonymous British actor - identified only as John Doe No. 117 - who claims Bryan abused him as a teenager.
Singer's lawyer Marty Singer insists there is no legal basis for the lawsuit and says it was filed improperly. The filmmaker is also seeking $300,000 from the plaintiff to cover the costs of his legal fees, which are said to be "exorbitant".
The unidentified British actor's lawyer Jeffrey Herman filed a lawsuit in May against both Singer, 48, and entertainment industry executive Gary Goddard, who filed a similar motion to dismiss in June.
The actor accuses the producers of abusing him in a London hotel when he was 17 years old.
The legal case is the second to hit the Hollywood director after budding actor Michael F. Egan filed a similar lawsuit against him earlier this year.
Egan, 31, alleged he was forced to perform sex acts on the filmmaker at a Californian house party in the late 1990s after being plied with drugs and alcohol.
Singer strenuously denied any wrongdoing and believes the allegations are a concerted effort to derail the box office gross of his recently released 'X-Men' blockbuster.
He previously said: "The allegations against me are outrageous, vicious and completely false."

David Duchovny reunites with ex Téa Leoni?


David Duchovny has reportedly rekindled his relationship with estranged wife Téa Leoni.
The pair - who have daughter Madelaine, 15, and son Kyd, 12, together - were spotted looking like love-struck teenagers during a recent family holiday to Fire Island in New York last month.
An eyewitness told America's Star magazine: "They were smiling and cuddling up with one another. They walked hand in hand and shared a kiss."
The insider said their children seemed to be thrilled that they are back together, adding: "They seemed like the perfect family."
The 'X-Files' star actor married the actress in 1997 but separated in 2008 with Duchovny checking into a facility to be treated for sex addiction the same year.
The pair rekindled their romance before splitting again in June 2011.
In 2012, the 'Californication' star insisted they were still married, but separated.
Speaking about his sex addiction, Duchovny, 53, previously said: "Sex, to me, means I can forget myself. It's just the moment. I heard that skiing is even better than sex. It could be possible - but I'm not a skier."

J.J Abrams was ‘blown away’ by Andy Serkis


J.J Abrams was so 'blown away' by Andy Serkis' performance in 'Dawn Of The Plant Of The Apes' that he cast him in 'Star Wars: Episode VII".
The 48-year-old producer was shown footage of the film - which is due out next week - by its director Matt Reeves and was so impressed with Andy, 50, that he cast him in the latest instalment of the franchise.
According to Slash Film, Reeves said: "I showed him a bit of the movie. I wanted to get some feedback. And I know that he had known and really loved Andy Serkis.
"And the thing that struck me, and actually got me so excited, was the mystery behind how great he is, is that he's great. That he's an amazing actor. And the scenes that I showed [Abrams] were of Andy just in mo-cap. And he was like, 'Oh my God, he's an incredible actor.' He was so blown away."
Reeves, 48, describes viewing the footage as a "revelation" for Abrams, 48, and believes it went someway to Serkis being cast in the sci-fi franchise.
He explained: "They had known each other a bit before, anyway, but I think when he saw it, it was like a real revelation.
"He said to me, 'That looks - I'm not kidding when I tell you I think that's one of the best performances I've ever seen.' I said, 'I know, isn't he amazing?' He's so good."
'Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes' opens on 17 July 2014 while 'Star Wars: Episode VII' is due out in December 2015.

DJ Fresh wants Calvin Harris collaboration


DJ Fresh wants to team up with Calvin Harris.
The 'Make U Bounce' hitmaker - who is currently working on his fourth studio album set for release later this year - would love to collaborate with Calvin, 30, after being impressed by a "cool track" the Grammy Award-winner sent to him.
The 37-year-old - whose real name is Daniel Stein - told The Daily Star: "Calvin sent me a really cool track the other day that he's working on.
"We've only really just started to touch base with each other in the last year but get on really well."
The Brit Award-nominee added that he is a huge fan of the scottish DJ and finds him inspirational.
He explained: "I'm a massive fan of his music and he's been an inspiration to me."
Meanwhile, Calvin's latest collaboration with his former girlfriend Rita Ora on her track 'I will Never Let You Down' shot to the top of the charts scoring Rita, 23, her fourth UK number one single.
Her third number one track 'Hot Right Now' was produced by DJ Fresh and was released as a second single from his third studio album 'Nextlevelism'.

John Barrowman hints at Torchwood return


John Barrowman has hinted 'Torchwood' could return.
The singer-and-actor portrayed Captain Jack Harkness in the 'Doctor Who' spin-off and although the show came to an end in 2011, he hasn't ruled out reprising the role again in future.
He said: "It ran for quite a long time, I think four seasons, which is good for the BBC - we had a great run and then that was it, really. But who knows what the future holds."
John can currently be seen in US TV show 'Arrow' and is thrilled by how successful it has been.
He told Terry Wogan on his BBC Radio 2 show: "I've got a TV show called 'Arrow', in which I play the bad guy ... it's doing very well, it's huge all over the world and I'm very chuffed by it. I can't say any more but it's great."
The 47-year-old star selects his roles primarily as to whether he will have "fun" at work.
He explained: "The roles I play, the bad guys on action shows, and Captain Jack, I just like to have fun with what I do, and the moment you stop having fun is the moment you finish.
"If I had to do something else, there's nothing else I could do. It's all I know so I enjoy every second of it. It's a gift I've been given by the fans and the audiences, so I cherish every moment."
