GIRLS ALOUD - CHERYL COLE PUTS TRUST IN DOGS

Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole has revealed she struggles to trust people, and finds it hard to gig others how important they are to her.
Cheryl Cole trusts her dogs more than her husband.
The Girls Aloud singer, whose soccer star husband Ashley Cole was accused of having a fling with a hairdresser last year, admits finding it hard to know who is genuine and who is not.
She said: "I've come to the conclusion that I don't trust anybody in life except my mother and my dogs. I'm scared to let people know how much they mean to me, and it's scary that you can love a small hairy thing so much."
The 26 year old star has two pooches, chihuahuas Buster and Coco, and says spending time with them is the main way she relaxes.
Despite her admission, Cheryl insists she and Ashley are glad and have moved on from the reports of his alleged infidelity.
She told Britain's Sunday Times newspaper: "We're glad. You have to go through life. You have to have that learning curve. That pleasure versus pain. In general my life goes s**t s**t **t, amazing amazing amazing.
"I'm on the longest roller coaster ever. I feel like for the past six months I'm starting to level out. I'm sure at some point the nemesis will come back, but I feel like when the bad things happen there'll always be something good coming."

Robbie Williams' wedding wish

Robbie Williams' girlfriend has refused to marry him.The 'Bodies' singer is said to be desperate to tie the knot with Ayda Field, but she has been too scarred by her mother's divorces to consider Robbie's proposal. A friend explained to Britain’s More magazine: "Ayda loves Robbie with all her heart and would do anything for him apart from walk down the aisle. The topic of marriage cropped up in their first few months together, which is a huge leap on Robbie's part – he finally realised he'd met 'The One'."He'd love a wedding. It actually would make his life complete after all the madness that's surrounded him. But Ayda has seen her mother divorced twice and is all too aware of the pain it's caused. She doesn't want to end up going the same route."Despite Ayda's refusal to walk down the aisle, the couple who have been dating for two years need to have children in the near future. The source continued: "Ayda is planning to be a stay-at-home mother, cooking, cleaning and taking care of Rob. They need at least two or three kids and have names picked out already."It seems like the perfect fairytale. If Ayda would change her mind about marriage, it'd be the icing on the cake for him."

Radiohead's Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea form supergroup

Flea is one of a handful of musicians recruited by Yorke to help him record solo material and some new songs the singer has been working on.
The band, which will play live dates next week, also includes drummers Joey Waronker, Mauro Refosco and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich.

"In the past couple of weeks I've been getting a band together for fun to play the Eraser (Yorke's 2006 debut solo album) stuff live and the new songs ... to look if it could work!" Yorke wrote on Radiohead's Dead Airspace blog, alongside a footage of the new unnamed band.
The news surprised many Radiohead fans, with some adviseing the story was a hoax.
"Thom Yorke and Flea form supergroup, how bizarre!" posted olliefrancis on Twitter. "Thom Yorke in a band with Flea, and a few more. Flea? Wtf?!" posted domgreenwood.
The band have announced two live dates at the Orpheum theatre in Los Angeles on 4 and 5 October. It is not yet clear if the band intend to write their own material.
The quislingism in an experimental period for Radiohead. In August, Yorke said that his band may not release another album, focusing on downloads rather.
Earlier this month, drummer Phil Selway became the third Radiohead member to embark on a solo route, following in the footsteps of Yorke and Jonny Greenwood.
Selway's new project will be a quislingism with members of Wilco, singer songwriter Lisa Germano and former Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg.

This morning (Sept. 29), the one time Disney Channel child star whose personal life has at times eclipsed her musical output, premiered "3," a new single about the delight of polyamory, on New York radio station Z-100. The song goes to radio everywhere today and is part of "Britney Spears The Singles Collection," a hits compilation due Nov. 24 on Jive.Produced by Swedish hitmaker Max Martin (Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson), "3" finds Spears singing about the racy subject of a ménage a trios with her signature coy delivery.

"I don't look the harm, so are you game?""Britney Spears The Singles Collection" marks 10 years since Spears released her breakthrough debut album, "...Baby One More Time," which spent 103 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold 10,554,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Two versions of "The Singles Collection" will be released: a standard one featuring 17 of Spears' biggest hits along with "3," and an "ultimate fan box set" with all 29 of her singles, a DVD of her music videos, and a booklet featuring classic images.

Potter's 'Wizarding World' to begin casting its spell in spring

MIAMI — It sounds like a new book in the Harry Potter series, but “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey” will be a high-tech ride and the marquee attraction at the “Wizarding World of Harry Potter,” a new theme park area opening in spring 2010 at Universal Orlando Resort.
The “Forbidden Journey” ride was named by author J.K. Rowling and described last week by Universal officials in a Web cast revealing details of what the Potter park will look like.
The ride will take guests through scenes and rooms from the blockbuster movies inside a richly detailed remake of Hogwarts Castle made to look 700 feet tall. Hogwarts is where Harry attends a boarding school for witches and wizards.
Guests will enter the “Wizarding World” through a station archway named for Hogsmeade, the magical village near Hogwarts. A plume of steam and a train whistle will sound the arrival of the Hogwarts Express. The goal is to make the experience immersive, so nothing outside is visible after guests pass the Hogsmeade station archway.
Rowling, known for carefully guarding the Potter franchise, hasn't yet journeyed to Orlando, but the design team has made several trips to London to consult with her.
Other rides include the “Dragon Challenge,” a twin high-speed roller coaster themed after the “Triwizard Tournament” and the family roller coaster “Flight of the Hippogriff,” named for a creature with an eagle's head and a horse's body.
“Along those journeys they're going to be swept up into the greatest parts of the movies and the books. We've pushed every technology available to us to give guests a theme park experience unlike any they've had before,” said Paul Daurio, producer of the Potter area.
The Harry Potter park will be part of Universal's Islands of Adventure.
Art and set directors from the films, including Oscar-winning production designer Stuart Craig and art director Alan Gilmore, were hired to translate the movies into the park.
Every shop and eatery is Potter-themed. Honeydukes sells chocolate frogs and “Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans,” Ollivander's peddles magic wands, Zonko's joke shop has Sneakoscopes, and the British restaurant Three Broomsticks pours Butterbeer.
At The Owl Post, guests can send letters with a certified Hogsmeade postmark. Magical instruments and equipment are available at Dervish and Banges, including everything needed to play Quidditch — a game like soccer played on flying broomsticks.
The Potter area will be Universal's third big-ticket addition in three years. SEC filings from the company estimate the combined cost of The Simpsons Ride, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit and Wizarding World at between $275 million and $310 million.
The Potter park is sure to prove popular not just with American fans but also with visitors from the United Kingdom, Potter's home and already the largest source of international tourism to Orlando, with about 1 million arrivals a year.
