Gary Barlow Goes Solo!

By Ed James on Oct 25, 11 09:10 AM

Gary Barlow is to perform his first headlining solo gigs for more than a decade - for charity. The shows on December 5 and 6 will aid the Prince's Trust and the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry. The dates will be his first for 11 years, when he launched a solo career in the years after Take That had split. He said: "I hope the money raised through these concerts will make a real difference to young lives. It's really important to me that disadvantaged young people get the support they need, especially at the moment." Tickets for the concerts go on sale on Friday 25th October.

He expressed a desire for his body to be preserved so that he could be reanimated in the future and have "a second crack" at life. He said: "It's an insurance policy. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. But if it does work, I'll be happy. If it's possible - and I think it will be - why not have a second crack?

Adele to sing on X Factor Final?

By Ed James on Aug 9, 11 06:11 AM

Simon Cowell has said he hopes that Adele will be able to perform during the final of the UK X Factor and that she'll make an appearance on the US version as well. An insider says: "There's no denying Adele is the biggest singer in the world right now and Simon wants her to appear on both the UK and US X Factors. He couldn't get her for the Judges' Houses stage, so he now wants her to sing with one of the contestants on the grand final in December. She is a massive fan of the show and even went to watch the US X Factor auditions earlier this year."

After much hype, George Michael has unveiled his royal wedding track for Prince William and Kate Middleton - a cover of Stevie Wonder's 'You and I'. He said "The idea came to me last week... that I should perhaps kinda express my happiness at this marriage, in a way, publicly. I decided I was gonna make William and Kate a new track... by Friday, so I've had a very busy week."

Having thoroughly enjoyed recording the new song, saying it was the "best two days of work ever", he performed it live on Piers Morgan Tonight in America.

The single is available to download for free however George has asked that anybody that does download the song to give to Kate and Wills charity.


Is Dawn French turning blue!?

By Ed James on Nov 10, 10 10:15 AM

Dawn French put an end to the rumours that her and Jennifer Saunders had finished working together forever and revealed that they have just finished doing the sketch show! We couldn't help to put some fresh ideas to her like Avatar or Twilight and we think it could happen for a come back with Comic Relief!! Dawn also reveal to us that she has a bit of a phobia of technology and has never sent or received an email! She did tell us that she is a mean texter but after she called tweeting twitting we thought she was probably right to stay away from computers! Dawn has a new book out called A Tiny Bit Marvellous which is a story about a mother and daughter relationship has been promised to us by the woman herself that it's full of laughs!

Biggins!

By Ed James on Oct 11, 10 01:31 PM

Christopher Biggins joined us on Heart Breakfast this week. As you can imagine he was his usual cheeky self and did some...interesting animal impressions for us! Apparently he is looking to do impressions on the side but with panto season coming up he is going to have to put that idea on hold! Appearing in Aladdin in Wolverhampton Biggins told us how excited he is! We asked him about what he thought about his good friend Joan Collins appearing in Dick Whittington at the Hippodrome in Birmingham and he is gutted that he won't be able to see her but did reveal he isn't sure she is prepared for all the long hours and hard work!!

Bet you didn't know...

Another X Factor star joined us on Heart Breakfast this week, 2008 winner Alexandra Burke!! Her new single, Start without you, is the 4th single released by the star but we found out a hidden dream of hers is to record a song in Spanish! She told us how she used to learn Spanish in school and has always had a passion for the language and this would be a way to show off another one of her talents!!

This week we also chatted to American actor Jeff Goldblum. We all know Goldblum from the Jurassic Park movies, The Fly and Independence Day so we wanted to find out the things nobody knew about him! After a big of digging we found out that he is obsessed with ice cream! After we quizzed him further on his favourite flavours, expecting to hear something unusual and 'Hollywood', he struck us with a good old bowl of Vanilla!

Murs Factor!

By Ed James on Aug 23, 10 10:23 AM

The X Factor returned to our TV screens this weekend so we know the seed of the Christmas number one has already been planted! One person hoping to grab a top spot before then is last years X Factor runner up Olly Murs! He joined us on Heart Breakfast and told us how busy he has been following the X Factor with the tour, spending time in the studio and is now getting ready to release his first single 'Please don't let me go' on August 29th. He told us how he wanted to do something people wouldn't expect so an up tempo dance track was not an option. He didn't want to release a ballad so thought a nice balance of the two would be perfect and we think it's brilliant! While he was on the show he also told us about his mum interfering with his love life. Apparently she adds all his girlfriends on Facebook so she has now become a directory for all his x's...sounds to us like he is a bit of a mummy's boy so girls if you want to impress that could be your way in!

Is it Myleene or JLO???

By Ed James on Aug 7, 10 05:53 PM


Not content with being a singer, TV/radio presenter and model it seems Myleene Klass also has another string to her bow... stealing other celeb indentities!! She was on Heart Breakfast last week and told us on a recent trip to America with John Barrowman she stopped at a diner and was mistaken for Jennifer Lopez! Rather than doing the decent thing and saying, erm, actually I'm not her, she said 'yes, it's me!' 'Would you like me to sign something for you' ?? Naturally the owner of the diner said yes!! SO somewhere in America there is a signature of 'Jenny from the block' scribed by Myleen Klass!! I'm sure JLO would do the same in her position!!
