AILBHE MALONEwishes those OD boys would just stop fighting
TRACK OF THE WEEKBoyfriend by Justin Bieber. So here it is, Bieb's new direction. And it sounds like a slowed-down Justin Timberlake. Bieber's been hanging out with long-time MIA collaborator Diplo, and it's sure rubbed off. Boyfriend is a stripped-back R'n'B banger and it's pretty sick. Just disregard the line about fondue.
The One Direction boys are ganging up on each other and poor Liam OD’s bearing the brunt of it. Harry OD told the Sun that “Liam has that Barlow aura. He says things like, ‘come on boys, let’s roll. Let’s get going’.” Harry then went on to tweet about Liam’s pronunciation, writing “Liam has just said the word ‘lingerie’ for the first time . . . he said (linger-ee).” Come along now Harry. If there’s One Thing we don’t like, it’s squabbling within the ranks.
The One Direction boys could take a tip or two from JLS. The group are planning Marvin’s stag, ahead of his marriage to Rochelle Saturdays, and taking no chances – they’ve got a professional on the case. Oritse confided in the Sun: “I have met up with an ex-MI5 guy helping us plan Marvin’s stag. . . It is a covert MI5 operation. Marvin will have no idea what will hit him.” Perhaps mentioning your plans to a tabloid wasn’t the best idea, Oritse. Unless it was an elaborate double-bluff ?
Madonna joined Twitter for a day, and gave it all she had. Tweeting from @madonnamdnaday, she answered all kinds of questions – from her favourite Britney song (...Baby One More Time), to her favourite city (Gstaad, apparently) to her guilty pleasure (french fries and Krug rosé champagne). It was a short but sweet insight into the queen of pop – and totally worth it for the twitpics alone.
