Rhianna Loved Working With Maroon 5 On ‘If I Never See Your Face Again’
Rihanna has revealed on GMTV how much she’s enjoyed teaming up with Maroon 5 on their next single, If I Never See Your Face Again.
Speaking to GMTV’s Carla Romano in LA, the Good Girl Gone Bad said that working alongside the pop rockers was “Awesome for me”.
She went on to heap praise on the lads, saying: “Maroon 5 are one of my favourite bands and when they approached me to do this record, I was like, ‘Any song – I don’t care if it’s a song that I don’t like - I want to do it because Maroon 5 is dope’. But fortunately I love this song – I think it’s a smash.”

Watch The New Kids On The Block Reunion
Guess what? Our favourite 90’s boyband (excluding Take That) are back!
New Kids On The Block appeared on the Today show in America …well today, and revealed their plans for their new reunion album.
We reported back in January that NKOTB were planning to reform, but Danny Woods spoke out and refuted that rumour. We’d be calling them liars right about now, except that Donnie explains in the video that they were hoping to keep things under wraps until the new album was ready, but that the earlier leak forced them to come out and admit the reunion was on.
Watch the clip below:
Watch Madonna & Justin Timberlake: Four Minutes
Youtube may have removed the video last night, but today we were able to get our hands on the full version of Madonna’s new single ‘Four Minutes.’
Of course what has us most excited is the fact that the video features the gorgeous Justin Timberlake…
Check it out!
The New Kids On The Block Reunion!
Break out your stonewashed, high waisted jeans and put your hands in the air….the New Kids On The Block are back! We reported this at the end of January, but they came out and denied it. Looks like NKOTB were buying themselves some time to get the details in order before a formal announcement.
The five guys will appear on US TV show, The Today Show, this Friday, April 4th.
Though it is not yet clear if the band will be performing or if it will be an interview only, we will try and get you a clip from the mighty youtube asap! Read More »

Robbie Williams Splits With Guy Chambers AGAIN!
The larger than life, (and larger than he was last year!) pop star Robbie Williams has split once more with his song writing partner Guy Chambers.
Some of Robbies best material was written in conjunction with Guy, think “Rock DJ”, “Feel”, “Millennium”, “Let Me Entertain You” and “Angels”, but the pair parted ways in 2002. Reports emerged that Robbie’s record company was demanding that Guy work exclusively with Robbie and no other artists.
The pair reunited last year, but have parted ways for a second time after Williams discovered that Guy was working with former bandmate, Gary Barlow on ITV drama, Britannia High.
A source told The Sun: “Robbie and Guy patched up their differences last year. They had been back in the studio trying to find the spark that produced Rob’s best material.
“They gave it a go but it didn’t work out – they had both moved on. But while they were working together in LA, Guy was asked to work as part of a team with Gary on a new TV show. Read More »
