Fazer promises N-Dubz reunion


Fazer has reassured N-Dubz fans that the group are still planning to reunite.

The trio embarked on a prolonged break in 2011, with all three members pursuing solo careers and Tulisa also landing a role on the X Factor.

A reunion has often been mooted but no date has been set and official confirmation has yet to materialise.

Speaking to the Metro, however, Fazer said that a reunion is definitely still in their plans and that a new album should surface when they eventually do reconvene. He said:

“I think 2014 might be realistic. It’s always been at the forefront of our minds to reform the band at some point. N-Dubz will always be the base, no matter what happens we’ll always come back and do N-Dubz.”

He added: “Right now we’ve got three separate commitments that we need to do, three solo commitments. T’s album is out, Dappy’s has just come out and my album’s out early part of next year. I would never want to go back out doing N-Dubz and just having the old songs to perform; we’d have to do a whole new album.”

Taylor Swift says stalker problems are getting worse


Taylor Swift has revealed that she often gets threats from stalkers.

The country-pop star has enjoyed huge fame over the past few years and it seems that has unfortunately increased the amount of over zealous fans.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan, Swift said that she gets “scared” when she hears of threats coming through via her security team. She said:

“I get nervous when I have stalker incidents. I try not to talk too much about it because it scares me. Sometimes you get a dude who kind of wants to steal you. That’s why I’m so grateful I have people looking after me, like [my bodyguard] Dennis.”

She added that her team often warn her to watch for specific people when out and about in public by sending her photos.

The ‘Red’ star said: “Over the past couple of years it’s got worse. I get told if there’s been an attempt or a threat. My security text me a picture and say, ‘Look out for this dude; he’s driven across the country, he’s off his meds [medication]‘, or something like that. No one has ever been successful in getting into my house or anything like that. I have an amazing security team.”

The Wanted: “We didn’t get a chance to meet One Direction in New York”


The Wanted have suggested that One Direction avoided them when they were both in New York recently at the same event.

The two British groups have been embroiled in something of feud recently after they took pot-shots at each other on Twitter.

They were both playing at a Z100 Christmas show in New York on Friday (December 7) and it was mooted that they would call off their rivalry and sort out their differences.

However, speaking to Yahoo, Max George said that the One Direction boys were in and out of the venue so speedily that they didn’t even get a chance to meet. He said:

“We didn’t see them. They were very quick to be in and out to be honest which was a shame because we wanted to but I’m sure we’ll cross paths again some time.”

George then quipped: “We try not to react too much to silly little petty banter like that.”

As previously reported, The Wanted were recently quoted as saying that they wanted to call a truce with One Direction in honour of the Christmas spirit.

They launched the project earlier this year and asked their fans to riff on particular themes relevant to the song.

The introduction to the song said: “In 2012, Maroon 5 asked the world for help to create something special for the song ‘Daylight’. People from all over the world came together and this is the result.”

Maroon 5 meanwhile have been nominated for two gongs at next year’s Grammy Awards.

They are up for the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance award for their track ‘Payphone’ and the Best Pop Vocal Album prize for ‘Overexposed’.

McFly keen to keep writing for One Direction


McFly have expressed their desire to keep penning songs for One Direction.

The British quartet wrote the track ‘I Would’ for the band’s latest album ‘Take Me Home’, whilst mainman Tom Fletcher also contributed the song ‘I Want’ for their 2011 debut ‘Up All Night’.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Fletcher said that whilst he is picky in choosing which acts he would like to write for, McFly’s relationship with One Direction is a fruitful one.

He added that he would like to keep contributing songs for the ‘Live While We’re Young’ band in the future. Fletcher said:

“It’s quite a selective process, writing for other bands. I don’t want to write a song for just anyone. I only do it for people I really like because that’s when you do your best work, so I hope the relationship we have with One Direction can continue.”

The ‘Love Is Easy’ man continued: “I love great pop music. When ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ came out it was like a breath of fresh air. It’s perfect pop and you don’t think about anything else. The new Taylor Swift single is the same.”

The Wanted’s Max George: “Lindsay Lohan is a good girl”


The Wanted star Max George has defended Lindsay Lohan after her recent arrest.

The actress was recently detained on suspicion of assaulting another woman at a New York night club.

It had been reported that the alleged fight took involved singer George, with Lohan said to have been jealous of the other female after the ‘I Found You’ maestro started speaking to her.

George was recently questioned by TMZ about the alleged incident, with the celebrity website asking if he hopes Lohan gets out of trouble. He replied:

“She’s fine. She’s out of trouble. She’s a good girl.”

The Wanted star had previously distanced himself any involvement in the reported incident, saying:

Kylie Minogue wanted fashion career

Kylie Minogue has revealed that she wanted to become a fashion designer.

The pop songstress initially found fame as an actress on Australian soap Neighbours in the mid 1980s before becoming an international music star.

However, she told website Very that at one point in her life, neither of those career routes were in her mind when growing up. The ‘Timebomb’ singer said:

“My Grandma taught me how to sew when I was young and I learnt to pattern cut and all of that. There was a time I would have loved to be a fashion designer but performing won in the end.”

Minogue was also asked about how she manages to keep her image sharp and eye-catching, with collaboration the key ingredient. She replied:

“Teamwork! From the very beginning, working in television, I was part of a team. Everyone has their job to do and the show doesn’t happen without every part of the machine working in harmony. I guess I carried this through with me and to this day I appreciate all the work my team do to help me shine.”

Taylor Swift fuels Harry Styles rumours with afterparty appearance


Taylor Swift has further increased speculation surrounding herself and Harry Styles after attending One Direction’s Madison Square Garden afterparty.

The band headlined the iconic New York venue last night (December 3) and they later called it the “best night of their lives”.

They even managed to find time to slip in an Ed Sheeran cameo, who came on stage to help sing his song and One Direction’s latest single ‘Little Things’.

Swift, who was snapped with Harry Styles over the weekend at New York’s Central Park, did nothing to dispel romance rumours by being filmed attending the afterparty event.

A video uploaded online also shows Ed Sheeran arriving at the afterparty, who strikes up a conversation with the cameraman before being ushered away.

Swift is said to have indulged in some karaoke with the One Direction boys, with the picture below reportedly showing the country-pop singer having fun on stage with some of the band.
