The guys put their signature bad-boy attitude in the spotlight on ‘Chasing the Sun.’ By Jocelyn Vena The Wanted Photo: Steve Thorne/ Redferns The Wanted recently described their new single, “Chasing the Sun,” as being “in the same vein” as their smash “Glad You Came.” Well, the guys didn’t lie. On Thursday (April 5), the guys dropped their latest single off their self-titled U.S. debut, and it’s full of fist-pumping beats and sing-along chants. The club-banger, with its swirling production and booming beat, is a bit more aggressive than “Glad You Came” though. It has more in-your-face moments in terms of the way the song grinds along, corresponding to the fivesome’s signature bad-boy swagger. “We’ve only just begun/ Hypnotized by drums/ Until forever comes/ You’ll find us chasing the sun,” the guys proclaim on the track, written by British rapper and singer Example. They continue, “They said this day wouldn’t come/ We refuse to run/ We’ve only just begun/ You’ll find us chasing the sun.” Where “Glad” focuses on the guys romancing ladies with double entendres and innuendos, “Chasing” seems to be about the guys declaring that no matter what, in love and life, nothing can stop them from going all the way. And yes, the expected sexy moments are still there, as evidenced by lines like, “When the daylight’s fading/ We’re gonna play in the dark/ Until it’s golden again.” The song’s release coincides with their appearance on Thursday night’s “American Idol.” Their U.S. album hits shelves on April 24, and the guys will also appear on an episode of MTV’s “Punk’d” later this season. “To be in the U.S. is amazing,” bandmember Siva Kaneswaran said recently. “But just as long as we go out there and be ourselves and the U.S. takes us as we are, we’re just coming over here to have a laugh.” Related Artists The Wanted

It’s not unusual to see up-and-coming pop artists try and channel bigger stars when trying to gain an audience (see Jessie J and “Domino”, which we still can’t believe wasn’t recorded by Katy Perry).

British duo released their sophomore album, No More Idols, in the U.S. this week. By Akshay Bhansali Will Kennard and Saul Milton of Chase & Status Photo: Gareth Cattermole/ Getty Images If a jam-packed show at Miami’s Ultra Music Festival , production collaborations with Rihanna and a sold-out U.S. tour are any indication, America is thirsting for British EDM duo Chase & Status. Saul “Chase” Milton and Will “Status” Kennard released their second album, No More Idols, in the U.S. this week via Casablanca Records. The album, released in Europe in January 2011, is certified platinum in the U.K., with more than 500,000 units sold. “We’ve been over the moon with the success of No More Idols, ” Kennard told MTV News recently. “It was beyond belief for us, really, and true, tunes have been floating around here for a while, but it’s getting a proper release.” Kennard described the “proper release” as a “big, full package” with plenty of remixes, including efforts by Feed Me, Nero and Dillon Francis. The deluxe edition will include a DVD and exclusive content from their 2011 No More Idols Tour. No More Idols runs a gamut of EDM , with a bit of grime, dubstep, drum n’ bass, rock and more. It houses hit U.K. singles in “End Credits” featuring vocalist/actor/friend Plan B, rock-ish hit “Hypest Hype” featuring Tempa T, and the cinematically exquisite “Blind Faith” featuring Liam Bailey, among others. The hit album has galvanized quite a following Stateside, and Kennard said he and Milton are grateful for the unexpected attention. “It’s an exciting time for electronic dance music, and we are just proud to be a part of it,” Kennard said. “We did the tour last year, and we thought it was going to be a wash out, really, because you’re a million miles away from home. The record didn’t get picked up by radio. So on and so forth. And then you go and do these clubs and these shows, and they are sold out full to the brim with people knowing all the words and everything. And it’s a great feeling, man.” Chase & Status plan to bring their live show — often accompanied by drummer Andy Gangadeen, James Brown and vocal collaborators Rage, Tempa T, and Liam Bailey — to Indio, California’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Save for a few festival gigs, the duo now mean to hunker down in their lab and hope to complete their third album by year’s end. They are still in the early stages, tinkering around with sounds, but they say inspiration is all around them. “You can’t ignore what Skrillex has done,” Milton revealed. “We are good friends with Sonny. He’s a class act, but musically he’s just done something really incredible and just run with it. Nero as well . Odd Future, we are massive fans of what they do.” “I love Die Antwoord ,” Kennard added. “Love what they are doing. A$AP Rocky is really cool. Kill the Noise. … There is so much exciting, inspiring stuff.” What do you think of Chase & Status’ No More Idols ? Leave your comment below! Related Artists Chase & Status

How much has Whitney Houston ‘s tragic death propelled the musical remake of Sparkle into the spotlight? Consider: I’m 99% sure Matt Lauer has never seen “the 1976 movie called Sparkle ,” but even the Today Show did a segment on the first trailer for the August release, which prompted robo-Kathie Lee Gifford to exclaim “I was flooded with emotions as I watched it.” See if you feel the same after watching Houston’s churchgoing mother attempt to help her daughters navigate the pitfalls of fame, Dreamgirls -style. Like 1976’s Sparkle , which starred Irene Cara in the title role of Sparkle Williams, Lonette McKee as her sexpot sister, Sister, and Mary Alice as their quietly-suffering mother, the Salim Akil-directed remake follows the ups and downs of a Motown-era girl group as they deal with success, men, drugs, infighting, and assorted other drama. (If it sounds an awful lot like Dreamgirls , there’s a reason: The film’s success paved the way for and influenced the subsequent Broadway show, which follows a very similar story.) Following with its predecessor, we’ll get new renditions of the songs Sparkle made famous, including the catchy “Hooked On Your Love” and “(Giving Him) Something He Can Feel,” a song later remade memorably by En Vogue. This summer’s remake stars American Idol’s Jordin Sparks as Sparkle, British actress-singer Carmen Ejogo as Sister, and Tika Sumpter as the third (and let’s be real, more forgettable) sis Dolores, with assorted other familiar names filling in the cast: Cee-Lo Green as R&B star Black, Derek Luke as Sparkle’s decent songwriter boyfriend Stix, Mike Epps as seedy gangster/woman abuser Satin. Houston plays the girls’ mother in a role that seems considerably bumped up from the original, but while watching her aglow onscreen is mighty saddening, her storyline doesn’t seem to overshadow the greater saga. That said, the trailer makes no mention of the film’s heavy drug subplot, which was always the part of Sparkle that made it hit home. Like 1972’s Lady Sings the Blues , this backstage R&B musical had a gritty realness to it; it was melodramatic, sure, but you felt the desperation of these characters — to make it at their first talent contest, to battle through petty jealousies, and later, to smile through the bruises — in every gloriously dark moment. Sparkle’s turn from mousy back-up singer to empowered starlet felt like a real transformation, but here Jordin Sparks looks all manicured and well-coiffed and put together from the start. Inevitably, the specter of Houston’s death looming over Sparkle will make its tragic themes resonate beyond what’s onscreen, and her gospel number will top the charts. Kathie Lee will cry. As will I. Verdict: As a Sparkle fan, I am hesitantly curious; as a Whitney fan, it’s a no-brainer.
These pictures look awfully familiar to me, it’s highly possible that I’ve posted them before, but I love Lucy Pinder so I couldn’t resist posting them for you. I’m just a nice guy. Besides, I’m not sure there’s such a thing as too many shots of a busty British hottie with her massive massive breasts spilling out of a struggling bra. If there is, I haven’t reached it yet. So hot.
The wait is finally over! What did we learn from the return of ‘Mad Men’? By Eric Ditzian Aaron Stanton, Larisa Oleynik, Vincent Kartheiser and Alison Brie in “Mad Men” season five episode one Photo: Michael Yarish/AMC “Mad Men,” don’t ever leave us again, OK? Or at least not for a few more seasons. After a 500-day-plus hiatus, AMC’s hit show returned Sunday night with the epic two-hour season-five premiere, filled with civil-rights strife, relationships of the sure-to-blow-up-in-epically-entertaining-yet-profoundly-troubling-fashion variety, and innumerable tiny moments that make creator Matthew Weiner’s “Mad Men” arguably the finest show on TV . The debut also addressed a slew of lingering questions we’d amassed since the previous season came to a close in October 2010. Check out 11 of the most burning questions we’d been dying to have answered: When Does Season Five Take Place? How gangster would it be if Weiner opened season five with a slow push in toward Don Draper, his hair oddly gray, his deep wrinkles coming into view, his dapper postwar mojo caked in decades of booze, fatty foods and what-has-become-of-this-once-proud-country disillusionment? What if the year were 1986 and Don were a gut-bellied 60 years old? However unlikely such a crazy time jump was, an open question headed into the new season was exactly when in time Weiner would restart his story. After all, over a year passed between seasons one and two, while barely a month elapsed from the end of season three to the start of season four. Now we know the answer: Season five begins in the summer of 1966. Did Don Really Marry Megan? If you thought Don Draper would be content with an appropriately aged girlfriend, a quick trip to “Tomorrowland” (the title of the season-four finale) disabused viewers of such a notion. He ditched Dr. Faye Miller and took his young, seductive secretary Megan Calvet on a Disneyland trip with the kids. One sun-bleached California vacation later, Don had cruelly dumped Faye and asked Megan to marry him. Would it last? Could it last? Yes and yes. They’re now married and living together (though, obviously, not so happily). Is Faye Totally Out of the Picture? Poor Faye. She was smart and sexy and Don’s intellectual equal. Alas, she was also his age. As far as we can tell, Faye is totally dunzo as far as Don’s life is concerned. Could she come creeping back into the picture? There’s an argument to be made that she’s too self-possessed to slink back into his arms. But when on “Mad Men” has a woman ever been able to resist the charms of Don Draper? What Will Happen to Don When He Turns 40? If you guessed “have a birthday party at his Manhattan loft thrown by his secretary-turned-wife during which she saucily sings a French love song to Don and his friends, leading the ad man to verbally bitch-slap his wife and his wife to strip down to her undies, clean their apartment and eventually make love to her hubby on the filthy carpet” — then congrats, you win! Wither Bert Cooper? The firm’s elder statesman seemingly quit the firm at the end of season four, following Don’s public statement that he will no longer produce ads for tobacco companies. “It’s been a pleasure,” Bert announced on his way out the door. Turns out he didn’t quit, and as season five begins, Bert’s still puttering around the office with not much at all to do. Does Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Survive? Big Tobacco gave Don’s ad agency the big kiss of death at the end of season four. They lost the Lucky Strike account, the very big deal keeping their fledging operation afloat. Could Sterling Cooper survive? Would Don have to go back to selling fur coats? Hardly. Thanks to the hard work of account exec Pete Campbell, Sterling Cooper continues to chug forward. They’re still struggling, however, so expect the firm’s finances to play a significant role this season. Does Joan Have Her Baby? A back-alley hump session with a former flame left office manager Joan pregnant last season. She contemplated having an abortion, even traveling to a clinic, before deciding to keep the baby and pretend it’s actually her husband’s child. Did she go through with the ruse? Does her hubby still have no idea he’s been cuckolded? Yep, the guy hasn’t a clue. And Joan, the once-and-future sex kitten, is now spending most of her time applying cream to her baby’s diaper rash, rather than scheming and pouting in the offices of Sterling Cooper. What’s Up With Lane’s Marriage? The British finance whiz had a helluva rough time in season four. His wife left him, he went for a roll in the hay with a prostitute, then his father beat the piss out of him, sending him scurrying back across the pond to mend things with his wife. As season five begins, they’re back together, but all is not well. After he picks up a stranger’s wallet and calls up the guy’s mistress, we witness Lane awkwardly attempting to engage in the ’60s equivalent of phone sex. Nothing comes to pass, but we have a feeling Lane and his marriage are in for a ton of misery in the episodes to come. Is Sally Draper Still a Terror? Shockingly, if only temporarily, the answer to this burning question is no. Last season, heartbreakingly, Sally was a nightmare of a little girl as she struggled to adjust to a life lived under the shaky guidance of divorced parents. Who would have thought that as she approached her teenage years, she’d tamp down on the tantrums and start becoming a well-behaved adolescent girl? Two hours into the new season, that’s exactly what Sally is. Of course, we still haven’t seen her in the company of her mom, Betty. There’s plenty of time for the terror to return. Is Pete Campbell Still So Freaking Pete Campbell? He fathered a child with his co-worker. He got married and cheated on his wife too many times to count. He’s, generally speaking, a sniveling little turd viewers love to hate. But by the end of last season, Pete looked like he was turning things around, confessing his infidelities to his wife and turning into the agency’s rainmaker. Maybe, just maybe, Pete was becoming — less annoyingly Pete. It’s not going to last, it seems. Two hours into season five, he’s already complaining that his wife sits around all day like a frumpy lump, and he has started taking later trains back from the city to the suburbs, because, well, take one guess why he’s hanging around Manhattan after work. Pete Campbell, surprise surprise, will keep on being Pete Campbell. Can Peggy Olsen Sustain a Happy, Healthy Relationship? Remember beatnik journalist Abe Drexler, the guy copywriter Peggy hated and then loved and then kinda love-hated or hate-loved? Things appear to be going well between the two of them. She’s cranky as ever, but he’s supportive of her and her work life, even as he surely continues to believe her job is everything that’s wrong with ’60s America. How long they remain a joyful couple is anybody’s guess (ours is: not very long). For now, though, let’s just be happy for Peggy. After all, she’s the true hero at the heart of “Mad Men.” What did you think of the “Mad Men” season premiere? Share your reviews in the comments!

Sojourner is some British model who reminds me of some lesbian hipster…only unlike lesbian hipsters…she’s not drinking Pabst out of hairy pussy….but instead modeling…which I guess is kind of a hipster thing to do in and of itself…but not for the lebsians….cuz lesbians are the devil and too busy plotting how to cut off every man’s penis in the world while eating organic vegan foods….. So Sojourner….say that 10 times fast….showed her little tits for fashion and I’m into that…because if she’s got a modeling contract, she’s got that stamp of approval I need to not feel gay when fucking her little boy body raw….you know in theory or more importantly…in fantasy…cuz I’ll likely never meet this bitch, or remember this bitch, in 5 minutes….I’m like a mosquito like that….
