Mumford & Sons Write Sigh No More Follow-Up While Touring U.S.

Breakout British band crafts new tunes in Nashville, Tennessee. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Sway Calloway Mumford & Sons Photo: Getty Images They have, at the moment, the only rock album that’s actually a top-10 staple on the Billboard albums chart (their debut, Sigh No More , which sits at #2), and a pair of singles (“Little Lion Man” and “The Cave”) that continue to gain traction on both rock and pop radio, but the guys in Mumford & Sons aren’t letting all that success go to their heads. “We’re trying really hard to enjoy ourselves, and we’re doing alright,” frontman Marcus Mumford told MTV News. “We’ve met some really nice people, met some heroes … We feel like very small fish in a very large ocean, but it’s great. “We’re a very young band,” he continued. “We only have one album: We’ve got a lot more work to do, a lot more shows to play, but we don’t want to attach our identity too much to this whole parade, because we know quite clearly what we want to do and why we do it, but we’re just going to try to enjoy it.” And while they’re riding high — thanks to their Grammy-show performance with like-minded pluckers the Avett Brothers and Bob Dylan (and the subsequent sales bump that performance ensured) — Mumford and his mates are trying to stay focused, not just on their upcoming run of U.S. festival appearances, but also on recording the follow-up to Sigh No More . It’s really the only way they know how to cope with all the attention. “It’s pretty surreal. We’re just trying to keep our heads down and figure it all out, as much as we can,” bandmate Ben Lovett said. “We’ve been writing. … Up in Nashville, [Tennessee,] we wrote a bunch of new tunes, and we’ll continue to do that. We’re going to tour them in, and when we feel ready, we’ll put the second record together.” Perhaps the best thing to come out of Mumford & Sons’ whirlwind run here in the States: the chance to fully absorb the American strains of folk, honky tonk and bluegrass that the Brits’ debut disc dabbled in. “The thing about Nashville that’s amazing is: Everyone plays … so you don’t meet up for a drink, you meet up for a pick,” banjo player (and recent trucker-cap enthusiast ) Winston Marshall said. “It’s an incredibly creative town, just bubbling with energy.” Are you looking forward to Mumford & Sons’ next album?

Dear Bossip: She Won’t Do What She Did to Get Me

Bossip staff I have a problem I’d like to vent and hopefully get some solid advice. I’ve been with my lady for about 3 years and in the beginning she the one I thought I’d marry. She cooked, she cleaned, she did my laundry and was very attentive to my needs. Before I go any further this was not a one way street, I did all the things she asked of me as well. Not to mention when she decided to go back to school to finish her degree I supported her. She didn’t need or want anything and didn’t pressure her to work because I wanted her to finish and it seems like that’s the only reason she did those things because she was solely dependent on me. Now that she’s working she doesn’t cook or clean or care about me. I’m not trying to sound sensitive because I know that working and juggling household duties is hard. I help when I can by cooking occasionally ordering takeout and have cleaning people come in once a month to do deep cleaning. I do this because I want spend time with her make time to be with her but she doesn’t want to be bothered. I come home as ask for what’s for dinner and she says she already ate. She’ll do her laundry only and let mine pile up. I don’t know what Iv’e done to her to make her lose interest so dramatically but I honestly don’t know what else to do. She’s not doing what she did to catch my attention and shows little interest in continuing. I think it’s mean and misleading and I feel like I should cut my losses now. What do you think I should do? Dear sir, thank you for writing in and sharing your story! So you supported your woman as a good man should and she’s now decided to abandon the qualities that you once admired about her? That’s, surely, a hard pill to swallow. At this point, however, it seems like the best thing to do would be to really explore how committed the both of you are to making you relationship work if it’s salvageable. Three years is lot of time to invest so this is why you need to know if you should move on or make strides to make it work. It make or break time but ti does take two and no one has time to waste! While you may not understand why she no longer cooks, cleans and the like, you should retrace your steps and see if you can pinpoint at what point in the relationship she stopped doing these things and what may have triggered the change. What you may come to find is that her changes may not have anything do with you. She may just be at a point in her life where she doesn’t know what she wants in a relationship, in her career or otherwise. She may not want the responsibility of making sure your fed and your clothes and house are clean, you know? So if you want to communicate with her on this matter, start by not taking it personal and find out where her head is in general, then you can get to the crust of the issues and how they directly affect yours and her togetherness. So, sir, here’s the deal. You can never gauge if you and your partner are going to grow together or just never know the outcome. While it was very noble of you to support her while she was in school, pursuing her degree and career, she may be overwhelmed with juggling the home and career. She may be feeling like she’s under pressure to perform both at the job and at the house despite all your overtures to relieve her from time to time. So, don’t take it personal sit and have a talk with her about where she is in her thought process before you even talk about the relationship because, again, it may not have anything to do with you. Hope this helps! Good luck to you sir … good luck! What are you thoughs, Bossip Fam? Pleas share them below!

The teen singing sensation fronts the February issue of Vanity Fair, and is pictured covered in lipstick kisses. In the accompanying article he admits that he sometimes feels the pressure of fame. ‘Just the way my brain works. I’m not normal. ‘I think differently. my mind is always racing. I’m just… nuts. But I think the best [musicians] probably are.’ The 16-year-old tells the magazine his mind is so active that he sometimes suffers from insomnia. ‘I think about all the things I didn’t have time to think about during the day- like family and God and things that should be more important…’ Who were Justin’s favourite musicians growing up? ‘I’m definitely influenced by Michael Jackson and Boyz II Men’ Justin also talked about the challenges of trying to be a regular teenager. ‘It’s hard to really balance myself. A regular kid, if he catches the flu, he just gets to go home. But I can’t do that. ‘Everything is important. But, you know, my sanity is important, too. Even if I’m angry, I’ll just put a smile on my face and fake it.’ The superstar singer took to Twitter this morning to let his fans know about the interview: ‘COVER IS OUT and a Behind the Scenes Video. Most intense interview i ever did. here’s the @vanityfairmag cover & more.’ There is no mention of Justin’s friendship with Selena Gomez in the interview As for his musical influences, forget the Beatles or the Rolling Stones.

Camille Grammer to Move to The Real Housewives of New York City?

Bravo viewers might not have seen the last of Camille Grammer after all. Despite strong rumors that this attention-starved nut job will exit The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills , Radar Online now quotes a source that says she may simply move east and appear on The Real Housewives of New York City . “She would consider making a guest appearance or several appearances on the New York franchise, but it would have to be done in a way that wouldn’t disrupt Camille’s schedule with the children,” the insider says . Of course – as she continues to prove by publicly bashing their father – Camille can’t make any decisions right now because she’s too focused on her children, who the friend describes as Grammer’s “number-one priority.” Also of importance to this self-centered irritant? Not being painted as a villain if she does switch franchises. Says the source: “It bothers Camille that the producers and execs at Bravo want to bring her on the show to stir up the pot. Camille doesn’t want to be known as that ‘mean’ girl anymore.”
