Girls Aloud Madness

Girls Aloud's latest single The Promise was Number 1 on the UK charts for the week. The song had been number one on the UK iTunes all of last week. This is so exciting. This is their first original number one, as in not a cover, since their debut, Sound of the Underground, back in '03. Very exciting.

Here are the gals performing the song on various British shows: T4, X Factor (kind of like American Idol) on which Cheryl-farthest on right-is a judge this season, and Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. They look gorgeous in all of the performances, but the dresses in the X Factor one are particularly stunning.

True Class

Selena Gomez at a Tinkerbell DVD release event yesterday looking divine. Simple and elegant. That is all.

Class

-Rowdy pics of Miley's main man, Justin Gaston, have popped up on the internet. They are of him at a Hollywood Hillls house party. They are amusing. See them here: http://bauergriffinonline.celebuzz.com/2008/10/mileys-boyfriend-justin-gaston.php

-He also churched it up with some of the Cyrus clan the other day when Miley was sicky poo.

-And he was modelling in a show last week and when he walked down the runway, Miley stuck her tongue out suggestively at him . It's possibly my favorite picture of her ever. Team Selena! Gaston is on a roll!

Justin is a fox though.

-Franz Ferdinand's third album, called Tonight: Franz Ferdinand will be released January 27. I'm excited. They are a fun band with some truly great songs. The first song, not a single though, from the album that I've heard is Lucid Dreams. I heard it twice on FNX yesterday and it is a tempo-changing romp. I really like it.

-Girls Aloud's new album Out of Control will now be released on November 3, a week sooner than originally planned! I heard a clip of their collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys on Popjustice the other day, and it was good, very good. The song is called The Loving Kind. The album cover is lacking though. I like the outfits and poses but too many words, too busy. The Promise was released to the UK iTunes today. Here's the link for The Loving Kind clip:

-The new Keane album, Perfect Symmetry, is really good. Spiralling, The Lovers are Losing, Better Than This, You Haven't Told Me Anything, and Pretend That You're Alone are standouts, but the whole album is delightfully poppy and wonderful. I love the lead singer's soaring voice.

-The Saturdays' second single Up was the number 5 song on the UK charts for the week. Congrats, girls.

Fashion Queen

Rihanna is the shiz. The outfit she wore at the Justin Timberlake and Friends concert the other night was hip, high-waisted, and sleek with a burst of color. I love the yellow top and jacked weave! Bossay!

Damn, Girl

We have a budding fashion icon in our midst. Disney's new princess, Selena Gomez, star of the Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place, has been showing off some glam outfits this past week at various events (the HSM3 premiere, for example). Very impressive little Se-Se. She is just so likable and sweet, and she's friends with Demi Lovato who I secretly adore. Go Se-Se. Your clothes are already way better than Miley's. I especially like the plaid number on the left.

-First off, M.I.A. is pregnant!!! What?! That came out of nowhere! Congrats.








-Taylor Momsen of Gossip Girl rocked the premiere of Sex Drive last week. She has a really cool, edgy style. I like it.

-Here are some pictures of the boys from Twilight. That is all. Bask in them.

-The Scissor Sisters played two shows in New York earlier in the week and debuted new material! Yay! I love lead singer Jake Shears' nerdy glasses. His outfit is very 40's/50's all-American high school boy. (see photos below)

-Posh just knocked it out of the park with this ensemble. Love the new weave, the classy black dress, and the shades! Perfection.

-Here's an outtake of Zac Efron's from his photo shoot with Entertainment Weekly. Why must he look at me with those puppy dog eyes? Also, yesterday was his twenty first birthday. Happy birthday, Troy.

-Leighton Meester, rocked the Sex Drive premiere as well just in a simpler way. Here she is with the funny Katrina Bowden of 30 Rock.
