Time Apart Strengthens Brian McFadden And Delta Goodrem’s Relationship
Brian McFadden tells Coast Confidential that he and girlfriend Delta Goodrem’s relationship is still going strong even though they’re both busy apart with their respective careers. “We’re used to it (being apart),” he explained. “If we had two weeks off and we were sitting at home doing nothing that’s when it’d be harder. Even if we were in the same place we wouldn’t see each other much because we work so hard anyway.” McFadden was in Queensland to film Saturday’s Brisbane auditions for ‘Australia’s Got Talent’, where he’s a judge along with Dannii Minogue and Kyle Sandilands.

What David Archuleta Wants People To Say About Him
David Archuleta says he’s written about 20 songs so far for his next album while working with singer songwriter Joy Williams and others on the project. The ‘American Idol’ alum says while he’d love to have more hit singles, being able to convey his personality through his music is more important to him. “So many people know who I am and say they’re fans and don’t know I have an album out, even,” he tells USA Today. “People are still fans, and it’s interesting, because it’s not even because of my music. I want people to say, ‘I appreciate what David’s trying to do, in that he tries his best to be who he is and keep doing what he’s doing, and that shows in his music. I can see him and feel him in his music. I can see his personality, and I can see what he believes in and what’s important to him.’”
Colbie Caillat Is Happy ‘American Idol’ Said No
Colbie Caillat tells USA Today she enjoyed watching Casey James performing her hit song ‘Bubbly’ recently on ‘American Idol’. “I thought it was cool,” the 24-year-old said. “Guys don’t normally sing that song.” Colbie added it’s always a shock to hear songs she’s written performed by other people. “There are other artists whose songs I love and people sing them on the show, and I get excited,” Colbie said. “But it’s weird to know that people know of my songs. It’s still hard for me to grasp that I am like that for other people.”
As for her own failed ‘Idol’ audition years ago, Colbie has no hard feelings. “I wasn’t ready for it at all,” she said. “I was shy. I was nervous. I didn’t look the greatest. I wasn’t ready for it yet. I was glad, when I auditioned, that they said no.”

A thank you from Gabriella
..Hi everyone,What a week….thank you, thank you, thank you, for making On A Mission top 10 in Britain……
I was sooooooooo excited when I got the call… I was in Milan doing a TV – had a hilarious time with the hairdresser there. He was wearing a very little tank top with both his nipples showing….
Apologies I forgot to take a pic!! Meanwhile…..I must say thanks to D&G – they gave me so many new dresses – soooooo exciting!!
Since then, I got to go to Belgium for promo – now, I fancy myself as a bit of a chocolate aficionado and I can assure you – the chocolate in Belgium is the best anywhere ever….particularly if you are like me and like dark chocolate. We had a 5am wake up call for three days in a row- and then I was too tired to go to the R Patz premier of Remember Me….gutted!!
Last night I went to Prince’s Trust Ball….Noisettes performed – Dan the guitarist is ace…
Anyway, my album is out on Sunday – hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I (mostly) enjoyed making it…. I am so excited for everyone to hear it….

Anya Marina SXSW Survival Tips
Anya Marina did a Q&A with her label Atlantic Records ahead of SXSW in Austin, Texas, where she was asked about whether she had any festival survival tips.
Yeah, bring flats because walking in heels is torture. Those should go in your backpack along with a water bottle, sunscreen and a good hat—and a flip cam because I’m a compulsive documentarian. In the least I’ll always have my iPhone, because I like to add stuff to twitter constantly.
Check out the entire interview here.
Rob Fusari Files Lawsuit Against Lady Gaga
Rob Fusari filed a lawsuit on Wednesday (March 18) in New York Superior Court, claiming that he discovered and mentored Lady gaga back when she still just Stefani Germanotta, at the time when she was a struggling performer in the New York club scene. Fusari also claims credit for the ‘Poker Face’ singer’s moniker. “One day when Fusari addressed a cell phone text to Germanotta under the moniker ‘Radio Gaga’ his cell phone’s spell check converted ‘Radio’ to ‘Lady,’” state court docs obtained by E! News revealed. “Germanotta loved it, and ‘Lady Gaga’ was born.” He’s seeking 20 percent of Gaga’s income as stipulated in their original contract. Read more.
Moby Slams Bob Baier And Fox News Over “Disrespectful” Obama Interview
Moby lashed out at Fox News after Bob Baier’s controversial interview with President Obama on Wednesday, writing on his official web site’s blog:
Yesterday President Obama sat down to do an interview for Fox News, which was odd, as Fox News is not technically a news outlet. Fox News is the mouthpiece for the reactionary and lunatic fringe of the right wing Republican party in the United States. But the journalist, Bob Baier, set a new low, even for Fox News, and was disrespectful not just to President Obama but to the office of the presidency. He interrupted countless times, in many instances refusing to let President Obama actually answer the questions being asked of him.
Fox is routinely loathsome, but this is a new and despicable low even for them.

The sad and tragic thing about Fox News is that there are tens of millions of people in America who actually watch it and take it seriously even though it’s just lies and opinions masqueraded as news.

Girls Can’t Catch Busk For Marie Curie Cancer Care
Over the weekend, Daizy Agnew, Phoebe Brown and Jess Stickley of Girls Can’t Catch headed down to Covent Garden to raise money for Marie Curie with their busking skills. Daizy writes on their MySpace:
This Saturday we busked in Covent garden for the Marie Curie charity. I think it’s an underrated charity that deserves all the exposure it can get – the money goes to the nurses who care for those who are in their last months or days of living. It really does take a special kind of person to support and care for someone who is dying, so were honored to be asked and very happy to help raise money and awareness of this cause.
The British girl group posted highlights from the day. Watch it below.
