Peter Andre is working hard to make everything right for his upcoming record. Andre’s New Year resolution will be to make his album hugely successful.

The 35-year-old star said that he is striving hard for a desperate fame. He has planned a grand May release. Andre wants his album to be an instant hit.

Peter has a family with his wife Katie Price and three children. Andre also desires to have sex as the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve. Andre said that he would love to involve people in his party but that would be made possible only if he and Katie were disguised.

He added: “I’d like us to go to a masked party where no one knew who we were. I’d have sex with Katie in front of people if no one recognised us.” Peter revealed that it has been his dream to make love to his wife Katie Price as the new year begins but only if he can time it right.

Peter says he and his wife are still unsure as where to spend their 2009. He said: “I want to go to Australia, but I don’t think we’ll be able to as we’re going to America in January, so I think it’ll all be too tight.”

On a recent reality show of his own(Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter), Andre revealed that he is working on a super solo album. He also said that with the album his hopes would reach an ‘aspiration goal.’

Andre also revealed in the show that he and his wife Katie Price would work and plan on another joint album for charity due to the success of their first album A Whole New World.

After a spate of rumours about a possible Take That reunion Robbie Williams has made his desires vocal. In a public statement after his return to his British homeland Robbie said: “I’d love to be in the band again.” This is the strongest statement so far.

Garry Barlow and Robbie had met recently for jam sessions. There have been reports and hearsays about their reunion gig recording for a special DVD.

But everything seemsa to have changed after Take Thats recent success. Last night he said he would “love” to rejoin them, simply adding: “I’d like to think we’d be the only band in the history of music to get together because of artistic differences.”

Last month Robbie and Garry had met at an Arsenal football match. They had discussed about their possible reunion and comeback album. The singer, 34, who has lived in Los Angeles for five years, has had his old group’s symbol tattooed on his right arm. The British singer living in Los Angeles, USA has dished out £7million on an historic Wiltshire mansion, which he plan to set up as his base for a charm offensive to promote his new album next year. Robbie sporting a tattoo of his band mates said he found himself “over the moon” for his old group for their hugely successful comeback.

Robbie even wrote a message about his plans on his Inner Sanctum website.

He said : “Just thought I’d set a few things straight about me and the boys. We got together a lot over the summer. It was amazing. We’ve all matured a lot since we parted. I’m very pleased to say the differences we’ve had have just melted away…” He said that the band members chatted and laughed like old days. He said that he wants to put back things. “…I celebrated by getting the Take That symbol tattooed on my right arm. I’m proud to know the boys and I’m proud to have been in the band.”

The “Bye Bye Bye” stars are reportedly working for a reunion album. Justin Timberlake wishes to return to his roots. The famous boy band split in 2002. But new efforts are being made by the bass singer Lance Bass o bring the band back together to record new material.

Lance who experimented with film and television, primarily as an actor and a producer wants to reform and wishes to break new grounds. 2008 is the year of reunions and relaunches for bands and music individuals. And ‘NSync is in sync with this year’s trend. “It’s a definite possibility. We are like brothers - it’s perfect,” Bass said. If everything works well Timberlake could well return to the band and sing along with his old colleagues.

Bass, who finished third in the final of U.S. reality show “Dancing With The Stars” earlier this week, has been bombarded with offers since his appearance on the hit show. But Bass has made up his mind to concentrate on his music and it is the only thing that has made him rethink about ‘NSYNC’s future.

Bass adds, “There are so many crazy doors opening. There is talk of putting an album together next year, but I would much rather do it with ‘N Sync. So we are going to be talking about that.”

Jonathan Ross saves £6million-a-year BBC job

Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand

Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand

Jonathan Ross was suspended by BBC for making obscene phone calls to Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs. Ross and comic Russell Brand had violated BBC code of conduct and right to privacy of individuals. Both had outraged licence-fee payers. They had called Sachs to tell him that Brand had slept with his granddaughter Georgina Baillie.

Brand quit his BBC radio show after the sick prank last month. BBC’s governing body claimed today that the action taken against the duo was right and truly appropriate. Regarding Jonathan Ross’s suspension Trust chairman Sir Michael Lyons said that BBC’s director general had taken the right action with regard to Ross, who was suspended without pay for three months.

Ross will be able to resume his services at BBC from January when his suspension ends. Sir Michael Lyons said : “We have underlined very clearly that it is not the job of the Trust to make decisions about the terms and conditions of performers or the sanctions that are applied to them when they are found to be wanting.

“We are very clear that the director general has taken the right action with respect to Jonathan Ross.” The Trust said the material broadcast on Brand’s Radio 2 show was a “deplorable intrusion” into the private lives of Mr Sachs and Miss Baillie. The Trust further elaborated that there was no need for the content to be broadcast as it had no “editorial justification” and neither any “informed consent obtained” for which the messages were aired. Andrew Sach’s wife Melody said Ross and Brand “picked on the wrong man” for their prank. The Trust said that there was no need or any valid point to justify the airing of the messages that were left on the answerphone of the 78-year-old actor.

The Trust’s report into the scandal and the hearing today made things look clear. Mrs Sachs said the family was “tired” of the so-called “Sachsgate” affair, but said they had “no bitterness at all” towards the BBC presenters. “Andrew has got nothing to say,” she said.

For now scores are settled and Ross can look forward to his return to work and his second innings with the BBC when his current three-month suspension without pay is up in January. A prank went too far to cost his job and Jonathan Ross would sure be a more presentable presenter in the future. That is what we can hope !

Britney Spears dances for therapy

Britney Spears says that dancing takes away all her blues and she finds therapeutic solace.

The ‘Womanizer’ singer, who suffered a public meltdown and was hospitalised twice earlier this year, has revealed that throwing herself into work has helped her get her life back on track. Britney said that she worked hard and practised more and more to stay busy and that healed her a lot. Dancing was like therapy to her.

She said: “Everybody has a world that they create around themselves. If I have a lot of nervous energy, when I start dancing it goes away and I just feel emotion. It’s like a roller coaster…”

“People think that if you go through something in your life you need to go to therapy, but for me art is therapy because you are expressing yourself in such a spiritual way.” …Sometimes it’s an emotion that you need to feel when you dance, that you touch on and the only way you can touch it is if you move a certain way…”

The 26-year-old pop star who is setting up her career re-run and is getting ready for her world tour to promote her new album ‘Circus’ next year also admits she struggles to speak to her loved ones about her problems. Britney who had had her share of experiences bad and good, has shown great grit to bring back her life in shape. She and her fans had hoped about this day long ago. She started off her re-run with great grit, bagging everal awards at the VMAs and EMAs. We could only hope this gets better and better.

She added in a promo for her TV documentary ‘Britney: For the Record’: “Sometimes you don’t need to use words to go through what you need to go through. Sometimes it’s an emotion that you need to feel when you dance, that you touch on and the only way you can touch it is if you move a certain way.”

The Beatles

The Beatles

After 41 years an unreleased Beatles track could be made public. All thanks to former Beatles, Paul McCartney. The track was so far regarded as one that was “mythical” by The Beatles fans. But the mythical track awaits the light of release.

Paul McCartney has come out with one of the Beatles’ most revered track (according to Paul). He told BBC Radio that “Carnival of Light” was The Beatles at their most free, “going off piste.”

Paul said that would be great for the track to be made public. He believes that the track was the most ” avant-garde stuff. ” The song was reportedly recorded at London’s Abbey Road studios four decades back.

Paul has confirmed that the master track is with him. The “mythical” track (as regarded by several Beatles fans) which was assumed to be a piece of musical that was not to be found has finally come out. The 14-minute track was made for an electronic music festival. This was the only occasion where the music was made public.

The sound as suggested by McCartney is more like an echo of notes. Beatles recorded the track keeping in mind all forms of stuff. There was a little bit of everything in it starting from bang,boom,shout,hovering over piano chords and all in one.

The track in order to be made public requires a nod from Ringo Starr, and an agreement from the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison. “Carnival of Light” was a track that according to BBC was to be included on The Beatles’ Anthology compilations in the mid-1990s but the band members had then vetoed against it.

Paul McCartney ended his interview with Radio 4’s Front Row culture show in an interview to be broadcast on Thursday by saying : “The time has come for it to get its moment.”
