visited ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ on Tuesday (May 22), revealing that her ‘Part of Me 3D’ movie will show her going through both the marriage and divorce from comedian Russell Brand.

“I thought it was important to show everything in between,” the 27-year-old said. “I think sometimes people think that we’re perfect, and we know we’re not perfect, at all. I think it’s important to start breaking down the idea that to achieve your dreams you always have to be perfect or flawless or live in some kind of fantasy world. So that’s why I decided to put everything into the film, in the most tasteful way.”

Posted on May 22, 2012 by popdirt

With just under two weeks to go until the release of ’ new album ‘The Ol’ Razzle Dazzle’ on June 1st, the Australian singer songwriter is offering another peek into the studio with the third instalment in the making of the album series.

“I had a dream a few nights ago that I was carving a wooden block to make a print. It dawned on me in a dream that that process is exactly what we’re doing,” Higgins explained in the ‘Carving The Wood’ behind the scenes video. “Most of the process behind this work of art is the actual carving into the wood, and the final product, what everybody else gets to see, is just this thing on a piece of paper. They don’t get to see the process in the beginning. All the intricate little maneuvers that go into creating the final product.”

Soulpancake served some of life’s big questions to Swedish indie pop trio Peter Bjorn and John at a tennis court hours before their show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles.

The guys talked about their definition of happiness (including jumping, dancing, singing, playing and a visit to grandmother’s house), if they could change something (John Eriksson would change his career to tennis), and life’s biggest question.

“I would stop all the cars of L.A. driving. I would make all people stop eating meat,” Peter Morén said about things he would change. “Third thing I would do, obviously world peace.”

Singer Mette Lindberg reacted to an edit to the treatment made by MTV to the group’s fans at Facebook:

This is hilarious. MTV USA have cut out the audio part in our new music video for Major where it says “..She be down on her knee”. I wonder who decides stuff like that! Since when has a sentence like that become too much for the ear?! … The meaning of the words could even be put down as many things.
