Avril Lavigne pursues acoustic direction
Pop-punk star Avril Lavigne has decided to pursue a new musical direction on her next record. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the Fender Telecaster player said many of her new songs feature a stark and acoustic guitar-dominated sound.
"My last record was about loud guitars and energy, but this time I wanted to really feel my music," she commented.
Lavigne said that while it is easy for her to write a "boy-bashing pop song", writing a piece that is more meaningful and introspective is a "totally different thing".
She added that the main theme of her upcoming album is life.
Lavigne rose to prominence with hits such as I'm With You, Sk8er Boi and Complicated and has also enjoyed more recent successes including 2007's Girlfriend. She is working with her husband, Sum 41 electric guitar player Deryck Whibley, on her new record, which will be released before the end of the year.

Malaysian Muslims banned from Black Eyed Peas show
Malaysian Muslims have been officially banned from attending a Black Eyed Peas concert in Kuala Lumpur on September 25 because it is sponsored by alcoholic drinks company Guinness.
Muslims in the country are subject to Islamic law, with officials at the Culture Ministry saying that the gig would not normally have been given the go-ahead at all, reports BBC News. It was given the green light because of the tourism boost it is expected to bring.
"Muslims cannot attend. Non-Muslims can go and have fun," a Ministry Of Information official told Associated Press of the gig, set to take place in a theme park.
Although Guinness is sponsoring the event, it is forbidden to sell the drink at the gig or use its logo in promotional material relating to it.
Acts including Beyonce and Avril Lavigne have previously faced opposition from Malaysian officials with regard to gigging in the country.

Avril Lavigne Strips Down Sound for Introspective November LP
Rolling Stone hits the studio with Avril Lavigne, who’s hooking up musically with husband Deryck Whibley of Sum 41 on her next disc, for a progress report in our new issue. The big news: Lavigne isn’t looking to repeat the success of 2007’s smash single “Girlfriend,” nor is she looking to maintain her status as punk-pop’s snotty princess. On the as-yet-untitled November disc, Lavigne says she’s aiming for a more introspective sound with a stripped-down rock record driven by acoustic guitars.
“Life, that’s what this record is about,” Lavigne tells Rolling Stone. “It’s so easy for me to do a boy-bashing pop song, but to sit down and write honestly about something that’s really close to me, something I’ve been through, it’s a totally different thing.” Even though Lavigne is stepping away from the power-punk, she still packs the catchy hooks on songs like “Darlin’,” which was the second song Lavigne ever wrote as a 15-year-old living in Napanee, Ontario. Butch Walker also worked on Lavigne’s fourth LP.
While Lavigne’s previous albums hid her voice behind walls of production, her vocals are front-and-center on new tracks like “Everybody Hurts.” Other titles include “Black Star,” which was originally going to be the theme song for Avril’s fragrance of the same name, and “Fine.” “My last record was about loud guitars and energy, but this I wanted to really feel my music,” Lavigne told RS.

Avril Lavigne to split from husband?
Canadian singer-actress Avril Lavigne has fuelled rumours she is set to split from husband Deryck Whibley after a series of solo nightouts in New York.
Lavigne and Whibley married in 2006 but were the target of speculation just two years later after a US tabloid reported they were on the verge of divorce.
Ok reports, Whibley denied the rumours at the time, insisting he had been spending a lot of time away from his wife while he toured Asia with his band, Sum 41, but the "Complicated" hitmaker Lavigne has attracted speculation once again after partying in the company of male admirers in Southampton, New York last weekend, with insiders saying that the stars' divorce is imminent.
"She wanted to get away from Deryck and have a weekend to herself," said a source.

Avril Lavigne and husband spotted shopping amid divorce rumors
August 30, 2009
(Splash News) - Avril Lavigne and her husband Deryck Whibley have been spotted grocery shopping together as rumors swirl that their three-year marriage is on the rocks.
Skater Boy singer Lavigne was still wearing her wedding ring as she and Whibley, 29, wandered through the aisles of Bristol Farms, in Beverly Hills, on Saturday. And Whibley, the lead singer of punk band Sum 41, was a true gentleman, carrying two bags of food out to the car.
Lavigne, 24, wore denim dungaree shorts, baseball pumps and a New York Yankees hat for the shopping trip.
"They certainly didn't look like they were in the middle of a break up," said an onlooker.
"They looked like any other normal couple doing their weekly shopping."
Lavigne has fueled rumors of an imminent split by enjoying a series of solo nights out in New York, and last weekend partied with a group of male admirers.

Keyshia Cole’s Family “Frankie & Neffe”: now reality show
keyshia cole pen drive
The season premiere of Frankie & Neffe, the BET reality show featuring Frankie Lons and Neffeteria Pugh, otherwise known as singer/songwriter Keyshia Cole’s mother and sister respectively, debuted August 25. There is a LOT of back story here, even more so than Tiny and Toya!
Keyshia Cole is not one to mess around with. Coming from Oakland, it’s apparent she knows what hard work and dedication is, having three successful albums and a reality show (funny how success is measured by shows nowadays, but I digress.) But as much as Keyshia’s life is a story of triumph, her dysfunctional family plays a crucial role in why and possibly, how she overcame.
Keyshia’s latest role is executive producer of “Frankie and Neffe”, a reality show revolving around her own mother and sister. Are we ready for this?
Frankie Lavern Lons is from Oakland, CA, comfortable in her own skin and loves being the life of the party, consistently seen in the hot spots of Atlanta yelling out her signature pick up line, “Holla!”
Frankie admits that for almost 20 years she abused drugs and alcohol throughout most of her life but doesn’t blame her surroundings for her pitfalls. She in fact claims drugs got her through her troubling times. But after being in and out of jail, living in the streets, and at the same time trying to take care of her kids, Frankie eventually had no choice but to send her oldest daughter Keyshia to live in foster care.
Neffeteria Pugh, her second oldest child, transferred to numerous group homes until she was old enough to live by herself. Frankie lost touch with her other five kids until they reunited on the set of “The Way It Is.”

Drake denies affair with Rihanna
Monday, August 31, 2009
Hip-hop artist Drake has rubbished all rumours of an affair with singer Rihanna, calling it a purely professional association.
The gossip of the chart-topping pair kicked off after they were spotted together in New York, following Rihanna's break up with Chris Brown. But Drake says he's only trying to get Rihanna to record a duet for his next album.
"We're just really good [^] friends. We have great conversations about music, and we're trying to figure out the perfect song we can collaborate on for my album," Contactmusic quoted him as telling the New York [^] Post. "I've only worked with one other female before (Mary J Blige). I hope that Rihanna is onboard, and I'm also looking to work with Sade," he added.

Rihanna: Emilio Vitolo’s Ballato Babe
and her BFF assistant Melissa eat outdoors at their favorite Italian restaurant Da Silvano in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City on Wednesday (August 26).
The 21-year-old Bajan babe wore a white pair of paint-spattered jeans, matching loafers and a sleeveless denim vest.
Last night, Rihanna and Melissa had Italian again at Emilio Vitolo’s Ballato Restaurant in Little Italy.
Yesterday, RiRi was granted a five-year protective order against Chris Brown.
FYI: Rihanna is wearing custom Paige denim — the Skyline 10” Skinny in Cosmos – a custom wash made especially for her with heavy destruction and black paint splatters.

Rihanna graces the cover of fashion magazine
We always liked Rihanna's dress sense, it's fun, sometimes kooky, and sometimes just downright sexy.
But We think you all agree that she looks absolutely amazing here.
The popstar, who has had her fair share of trouble in the past few months, has been pictured for the cover of Italian Vogue's Couture supplement wearing this fantastic Valentino dress.
Now we know 80s fashion is back but the sleeves on this dress take us slap bang back into the very era, we think they would hurt if we got to close.
And does anyone else agree that the bucket is just a little bit wrong? we hope the person standing to the side of her was holding an Umbrella.

Fall's hottest denim as seen on Lohan and Rihanna
Denim has had an identity crisis of late. From the ubiquitous boyfriend jeans to the slashed version seen on numerous celebs, summer has been all about experimentation.
Fall 2009 promises more of the same- and then some. Hold on to those acid wash skinnies- paired with booties and leather, they fall right into the rocker-chic trend that is so hot right now. Boyfriend jeans still look cute with heels, but the newer shapes are more fitted at the leg and slouchy at the top. Current Elliott started the craze and is still leading the way. Rich and Skinny is not far behind.
Fresh looks for the season include dark denim leggings. Everyone from Forever 21 to BCBG has a version of these. They work best with boots- no bunching or stuffing- and tunic tops.
Harder to find red-hot styles include motocross jeans. Knee padding and a distressed wash look fierce on Rihanna. For real life, pair these with black booties, a leather motorcycle jacket and a killer attitude. Singer22.com carries a few versions of this style.
Bored with the same old labels? Seven for All Mankind is almost fit for the Museum of History and Current Elliot is quickly becoming the McDonald’s of denim: available on every street corner. For something a little less run of the mill, try MiH British jeans. My guess is- they’re the next big thing. Tired of spending a week’s salary on this utilitarian staple? Check out Urban Outfitters. Their skinny jeans are many fashionistas’ best kept secret.

Rihanna Floored by DJ AM's Passing

Out & About: Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Carrie Underwood, Mario
Rihanna loves the kids, especially her little brothers, 13-year-old Rajad and 18-year-old Rorrey. The pop powerhouse was snapped in NYC taking her little kings to enjoy The Lion King last night on Broadway. What a generous and extremely fierce sister they have!
Miley Cyrus was spotted leaving dinner at Tao in NYC the night before her big Friday morning performance on the Today Show summer concert series.
Carrie Underwood returned to her hometown of Checotah, OK to donate some much needed musical instruments to the city’s public school system. The surprise appearance was made at her alma mater, Checotah High School. “Teachers, I’m sorry for disrupting your classes. Students, you’re welcome,” the country cutie told the crowd.

Chris Brown sentenced in Rihanna assault case
Rihanna’s ex-boyfriend and singer Chris brown has been ordered 180 days’ community labour and five years’ probation for assaulting her.
The judge announced that the singer must do physical labour, not community service, apart from attending a 52-week domestic violence-counselling programme.
He has also been fined 2500 dollars and has been asked to maintain a physical distance of 100 yards from Rihanna for five years.
The judge has warned that the violation of the terms would be taken “very, very seriously,” the BBC reports.
The 20-year-old R&B star had pleaded guilty for the crime in June this year.
However, sentencing had been delayed from 5 August as a response was still awaited from officials in Virginia as to whether Brown could serve his community labour in that state.
He has to now reappear in court on 19 November for a progress report.
The incident had taken place before the Grammy awards in Los Angeles this February, when the pair got into an argument after Rihanna found a text message from another woman in Brown’s phone.
According to court documents, he tried to oust the Umbrella hitmaker from their rented Lamborghini sports car, and shoved her head against the passenger window and punched her in the face many times. (ANI)

Anna Paquin Reveals Secrets for Killer Figure
“True Blood,” HBO’s newest and very successful vampire series, continues to break ratings record after ratings record with each new episode, as we were also telling you the other day. One of the things that make the show so hot with audiences is former teen star, now established actress, Anna Paquin. In the latest issue of Us Magazine, Paquin reveals the secrets to her enviable shape, so that other women can also follow her lead.
Paquin has managed to make the transition from child star to hot vamp very gracefully, but it’s not all thanks to her good genes. The actress, who recently got engaged to co-star Stephen Moyer, keeps in such enviable shape by constantly mixing up her routine so that she never gets bored with it and she’s working different muscles at all times. “I’m obsessed with Pilates,” the actress tells the mag, while revealing she hates having to do just this routine for her fitness.
Paquin also loves to swim in the ocean as a means of staying active, and she has started taking surf lessons just recently. However, her exercise routine does not stop here, since she’s always careful to move around as much as possible, even when she’s not working out. Moreover, Anna is an avid watcher of gymnastics on TV and has even tried the trapeze on her own. “I’ve always wanted to be a circus performer, so I took aerial silks classes at Trapeze School New York a few years ago.” the actress says for the aforementioned publication. She wouldn’t share, though, if she still practices it to stay in shape.
As for her diet, Paquin explains that she tries to steer clear of unhealthy foods and unhealthy habits in general. She hates diets and couldn’t stand being on one with all the restrictions, but she generally does not like foods that she knows are bad for her. Another important thing for the actress is the amount of rest she gets, so she naps a lot in order to have the energy to make it through the day. “Kombucha and coffee are my two biggest vices.” the 27-year-old actress admits.
With such a strong will and so little vices to deal with, not to mention Paquin’s willingness to show her body for the camera if really necessary, perhaps it’s really no wonder “True Blood” is pulling 5+ million viewers each week.

Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Kristin Cavallari & More Light Up The Night At Nylon's TV Issue Party: Red Carpet Recap
Hollywood stylists must have put an embargo on the rainbow this summer, because just like last week's InStyle Summer Soiree, stars turned up for Nylon magazine's TV Issue launch party at Skybar in L.A. decidedly devoid of color. But even clad in simple blacks and whites, the stars couldn't help but glow.
"True Blood" actress and Nylon cover girl Anna Paquin arrived in a super sexy little black dress by Herve Leroux, which was complete with a sheer, plunging neckline perfect for a quick bite from a certain gentlemanly vampire. If Anna's dress looks familiar, it's probably because starlet Megan Fox wore a similar sheath (sans the sleeves) to a "Late Show with David Letterman" appearance recently. And speaking of vampires, Anna's date was none other than onscreen bloodsucking beau and real-life fiance Stephen Moyer, who looked dashing in a dark suit and white button-up.

Fashion Face-Off: Anna Paquin vs Megan Fox
Brunette bombshell Megan Fox and True Blood's blond, vampire lover Anna Paquin have more in common than we thought.
Both like to tilt their heads for photogs and are fond of sheer black dresses by Hervé L. Leroux.
Meg wore a short-sleeve version of the mesh cocktail dress when she stopped by Dave Letterman to promote Jennifer's Body, the movie where she devours high school boys.
Anna donned a long-sleeved form of the frock to celebrate her Nylon cover-girl status last night at Skybar, where she was joined by her costar and fiancé Stephen Moyer.
Both girls wore black peep-toe pumps, but Anna’s outfit seemed to have a little extra sparkle...
Megan accessorized her sexy getup with gold bangles, while Anna thought her engagement ring was all the bling she needed.
Who do you think looks loveliest?

Chris Brown and Rihanna had 'history of violence'
The R&B stars were allegedly involved in two unreported episodes of domestic violence prior to Brown's assault on Rihanna in February
source: www.guardian.co.uk
R&B star Chris Brown had been involved in two unreported incidents of domestic violence prior to his February assault of Rihanna, according to a probation officer's report. Brown shoved Rihanna in a dispute late last year, and broke the windows of a car in an argument with the singer three weeks before she was found bruised and bleeding by Los Angeles police.
Details of the incidents emerged after Brown's probation officer filed a report at a hearing earlier this week. Brown was formally sentenced to five years' probation and 180 days of community labour, as agreed in a plea deal this June. He had been charged with the felonies of assault and making criminal threats against Rihanna following their altercation in the early hours of 8 February.
Three months before the assualt, however, Brown and Rihanna had another violent exchange. The pair were in Europe, the LA Times reports, when a "verbal dispute" broke out. Rihanna slapped Brown, who responded by pushing her into a wall.
The pattern repeated in January, when the celebrity couple were on holiday in Barbados, where Rihanna was brought up. After an argument broke out, Brown got out of the Range Rover they were driving and shattered both the front driver and passenger side windows.
Neither Rihanna, 21, nor Brown, 19, was injured in either incident. The altercations were not reported to authorities.
In an interview with the probation officer, Brown said he was "ashamed and embarrassed" and did not want to "carry on [the] cycle [of violence]". Besides probation, community labour and an order that he stay away from Rihanna, judge Patricia Schnegg instructed Brown to undergo a year-long domestic violence course in his home state of Virginia.

Mila Kunis seeks escape from an isolated island BOOT CAMP (on DVD Aug 25)
Wildly disobedient and unruly teens are sent to a state-of-the-art deluxe institution… or so their parents think, in the instense, suspenseful thriller Boot Camp, breaking out on Unrated DVD August 25 from MGM Home Entertainment.
Directed and produced by Emmy® nominee Christian Duguay ("Joan of Arc") and starring Gregory Smith ("Everwood"), Mila Kunis (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Max Payne), and Peter Stormare (Fargo), BOOT CAMP is based on true events and follows a group of troubled teens sent to a boot camp facility on the tropical island of Fiji.
Trapped on an island with no rules, no walls and no way out, the teens endure unimaginable physical and emotional abuse that leaves them brainwashed, isolated and close to death. Lead by Sophie Bauer (Mila Kunis), and her determined boyfriend Ben (Smith), the prisoners must band together in an attempt to find a way out, with the camp's director Dr. Hail (Stormare) doing everything in his power to keep the facilities under complete control. Will the convicts take over before it's too late or will they have to stay and tolerate the violent behavior of the doctor and his crew on the island?
Filmed on location in Fiji and featuring explosive scenes with non-stop action and suspense, the Boot Camp Unrated DVD will be available on August 25 for the suggested retail price of $26.98. No extras have been announced.
Note: this film is unrated (includes female nudity)
Boot Camp is a 2007 psychological suspense thriller feature film written by Agatha Dominik and John Cox and directed by Christian Duguay.
This film is the story of a group of unruly teenagers whose parents send them to a rehabilitation Boot camp (correctional) to turn them around. The camp collects each child individually, then delivers them to the boot camp facility on a remote island in Fiji. There are no walls to stop the teenagers from leaving, but escape is impractical due to the surrounding sea. On arriving at the camp, the teenagers are forced to wear cuffs with sensors around their ankles — if they attempt to escape, security will be alerted.
Dr. Hail (Peter Stormare), who runs the camp, forces the teens to work constantly. He has them clean the camp, grow plants, and has them rebuild the camp after it was damaged in a storm. Campers are required to wear color coded t-shirts. First, new arrivals are given black t-shirts. They progress to yellow and then white. The teens earn a white shirt once they have been "corrected." They do not do work; they become staff members and abuse the other inmates and monitor their work. Among the staff is an ex-Army recruit. He is very tough towards the inmates and makes deals with girls in exchange for sex.
It turns out that what their parents believe is a state-of-the-art deluxe institution in a beautiful natural environment turns out to be a prison-like boot camp where they are abused and brainwashed by their environment.
The film's working title was Straight Edge and was shot in Fiji as the first film to utilize the southwest Pacific Ocean island country's five-year-old incentive program that had been designed to create jobs while building a film production infrastructure.
Choi Jung-in of South Korea's JoongAng Daily wrote, "From the outset, director Christian Duguay makes it clear that "Boot Camp" is based on true events." "...I loved Duguay's message that children should never be abused under the pretext of parental love".

Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman to Have Sex Scene in 'Black Swan'
Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman will not only be seen as rivals in "Black Swan", but as lovers as well. Carson Reeves of ScriptShadow spilled in his review of the film's screenplay that the Mona Sax of "Max Payne" and the Padme Amidala of the "Star Wars" series will have on-screen sex scene.
About the racy scene, Reeves first dropped the bomb writing, "Because in this movie, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have sex." He then provided more details on the particular scene, noting that it won't be "just nice sweet innocent sex either" because their love-making part will be an "ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry sex."
"Black Swan" centers around the manipulative relationship between a veteran dancer and a rival. A ballerina in one of New York City's top ballet companies, Nina finds herself locked in to a competitive showdown with rival dancer Lilly. With the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance, Nina is not sure whether Lilly is a supernatural apparition or if she is having delusions.
This drama thriller will be directed by Darren Aronofsky, the helmer and producer of "The Wrestler". In addition to the directing job, Aronofsky also co-wrote the script with Mark Heyman, and co-produce along with Eric Watson, Mike Medavoy and Arnold Messer.

Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye West Go To War In 'Run This Town' Video
In the future (after the apocalypse, I'm assuming), leather-clad gangs will battle for supremacy on the rubble-strewn streets of New York City. They will carry torches (perhaps the sun has been blotted out?) and scowl a lot. There also will be a whole lot of overturned/ burned-out vehicles, as is to be expected in any post-apocalyptic scenario. The future, it turns out, is vaguely reminiscent of "300," or maybe "The Warriors," or both.
That, in a nutshell, is the basic scenario of "Run This Town," the much-anticipated video that brings together three of the hugest names in the music industry — Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West — and casts them as warlords in a 23rd-century turf war.
Anyway, here's what you need to know about "Run This Town": It's three of the decade's biggest artists, appearing on one of the year's most talked-about songs, promoting the hugest rap album in recent memory (Jay's The Blueprint 3, due September 11). It really doesn't matter what they're doing in the video — their combined wattage is that powerful.
So credit director Anthony Mandler — who also helmed Jay's VMA-nominated "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" clip — for changing things up. Jay and Kanye have never gotten this gritty, and Rihanna hasn't looked this dark and menacing since her "Disturbia" clip (which, incidentally, was also directed by Mandler). The "Town" video is super-stylish; Mandler's visuals create a war-torn world that's dank and dangerous.
"I wanted something that didn't fit into 'this is New York, this is a building or a street [you know],' " Mandler told MTV News on Wednesday. "I wanted it to feel more ancient. I wanted it to feel more European, but on American soil. I didn't want it to have a framework, like, 'Oh, we're riding in New York.' "
As for the song, Jay went out of his way to proclaim that "D.O.A." wasn't meant for iTunes or the radio, which explains why "Run This Town" is being referred to as "the official first single" from Blueprint 3: It's aimed at digital retailers and radio programmers, a certified smash right out of the gate (and though, like "D.O.A.," it's also produced by West and No I.D., it's less knotty and more accessible). And it fits perfectly with Mandler's vision, too: The menacing, marching drum beats recall nothing if not the dark and deadly streets of tomorrow (and today, for that matter).
Given that "Run This Town" is, by its very definition, a star-driven vehicle, you couldn't blame everyone involved if they mailed it in and coasted by on name and reputation alone. But no one does that here ... not Mandler, not Jay, Rihanna or Kanye (though, strangely, he is noticeably absent for most of the clip's first three minutes). If all superstars worked this hard, the world would be a better place ... until it's destroyed by the apocalypse, that is.

Rihanna gets 'touchy-feely' with new man

Rihanna has sparked rumors she has a new man in her life after she was seen getting "touchy-feely" with Mary Kate Olsen's ex, Travis London.
The Umbrella star enjoyed a romantic night out with London last weekend, according to US reports. The pair are said to have enjoyed an intimate dinner at Santa Monica's Giorgio Baldi restaurant, in Los Angeles.
A source said: "They were very silly and touchy-feely. She looked like she was having a really good time."
Rihanna , 21, and London, who has been described as a "partygoing LA hipster" then headed to celebrity haunt, Chateau Marmont where they partied until the early hours with Katy Perry. London previously dated actress-turned-fashion-designer Mary-Kate Olsen.
Since Rihanna split from Chris Brown in February, she has been linked to a string of men, including rapper Drake. But earlier this week Drake - real name Aubrey Graham - claimed they were just good pals.
He told the New York Post: "We're just really good friends. We have great conversations about music and we're trying to figure out the perfect song we can collaborate on for my album."
