	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Ex-Culture Club frontman Boy George has revealed that he regrets the way his former band split.</p>
<p>George, who co-founded the band in 1981, admitted that his "completely destructive" relationship with his former lover and bandmate Jon Moss played a big part in the group's demise in 1986. "I suppose I got to the point where I thought I can't keep living in the past. I find [Moss] calmer, but I suppose that's because I'm calmer. I don't look at him and go, 'Ugh, you ruined my life'. It was an amazing adventure."</p>
<p>The British singer, real name George O'Dowd, recently said that he would like to reunite with Culture Club to mark the 30th anniversary of their debut album 'Kissing To Be Clever'.</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Michael Jackson wanted to hide]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Answering machine messages left by Michael Jackson before his death reveal he was desperate for cash to go into hiding to escape the ''Italian Mafia''.</p>
<p>Tapes of leaked answering machine messages have revealed the late 'Thriller' singer - who died of acute Propofol intoxication last June - begged friends for money to help him start a new life as he feared for his safety.</p>
<p>In one message, he said, "It is Michael calling. It is very important, I want that 150 in that account for me, because... I am very concerned about my life. I am hearing a lot of stories that (name withheld) is still trying to sabotage (inaudible) me and I want to be in a different environment and, um, I've found a place that I like and now (inaudible) I want to be away for a while where they can't find me. So please help me, help (inaudible) help me, and, um, more important than (inaudible). We are brothers."</p>
<p>Other messages - which were given to US journalist Daphne Barak after she wrote a book about celebrity addiction - reveal the "embarrassed" singer was trying to flee the "Italian Mafia" and make more requests for cash, using the code word "sun screen" for money. In many messages he sounds frantic and paranoid, while in others his voice is slurred and he appears dazed and confused.</p>
<p>Daphne said, "Some of Michael's closest confidents talked to me exclusively about his addictions - and provided audio tapes of Michael never heard before. These demonstrate different states of mind he was experiencing under the influence of pharmaceuticals."</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Bieber wows soldier's daughters]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Justin Bieber teamed up with Oprah Winfrey to wow three young sisters who missed out on seeing their pop idol in concert when their father was sent to serve in Iraq.</p>
<p>'Operation Justin Bieber' cameras captured the three girls chatting to their dad via Skype. He told them they were going to Chicago, Illinois to meet Bieber on Oprah. The stunned girls screamed, sobbed and danced around the room, yelling, "Thank you daddy!"</p>
<p>Their meeting with Bieber took a twist when they arrived in the city on Monday (May 10) - the pop star was sitting in the front seat of the limousine, which came to pick the girls up. The singer took the lucky girls for ice-cream and then treated them to a private concert as he rehearsed for his performance on Oprah. There was one more treat in store - the girls' soldier father appeared via Skype on the show and thanked Winfrey for making him "father of the year".</p>
<p>Bieber then added, "When you get back we're gonna have five tickets waiting for you and your family."</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Katy Perry has announced further details of the release of her second album, 'Teenage Dream', which is released in the UK from August 30.</p>
<p>It will be preceded by the single 'California Gurls', which features a rap cameo from Snoop Dogg, on June 20.</p>
<p>In a press release, the singer revealed that she wrote 'California Gurls' after hearing Jay-Z's 'Empire State Of Mind' at a party. "Everybody was holding their drinks in the air and dancing, and I thought, 'We're not in New York, we're in Los Angeles! What about California? What about all the homies, the gin and juice, the swaying palm trees, the sun-kissed skin 24-7,'" she said. "I decided that we needed to make a response. I want people to want to book a ticket to California the first time they hear it!"</p>
<p>Perry's debut album, 2008's 'One Of The Boys', has now gone platinum in the UK, after spawning the top 20 hits 'I Kissed A Girl', 'Hot N Cold' and 'Waking Up In Vegas'.</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Justin Timberlake is to open his new golf course in his native Memphis, Tennessee in July - and he says the place has very special memories for him.</p>
<p>The pop superstar and golf fanatic is the brains behind the revamped Miramichi Lakes country club, which was the first place he learned to hit a ball. He says, "This was the course where my dad taught me to hit a golf ball. I was really young, so all I really cared about was girls at the time. We actually have done some pretty cool things with this course; we had to re-do the whole course. We're the first course in America to be certified an eco-friendly golf course."</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Gately's public outing fears]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>According to his entrepreneur widower Andrew Cowles, the late pop star Stephen Gately was so paranoid about the press 'outing' him as a homosexual, he would scour the British tabloids for tell-all stories in the early hours of the morning.</p>
<p>The Boyzone star shocked his female fanbase by revealing he was gay in 1999. He was forced to make the announcement after hearing a former member of the band's security was allegedly set to sell the story.</p>
<p>"Stephen was a very private person," insists Cowles. "It was very difficult having to lie for the first years of his career. At his low point he would go out at 2am to buy the papers - scouring the tabloids in the middle of the night to see if anyone knew about him. Living under that kind of fear - it was wrong he had to do that. When he came out, it was a major step, it didn't matter that someone was going to sell the story, he came out with real dignity.</p>
<p>Gately died suddenly in Majorca, Spain in October last year in 2009.</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Adam Ant comeback is for daughter]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>New wave rocker Adam Ant credits his young daughter with his decision to make a comeback - because she saved his life after a public mental breakdown.</p>
<p>The Adam and the Ants star - real name Stuart Goddard - was famously arrested in 2002 after wielding an imitation gun in a London pub. He subsequently spent a year in psychiatric care. He vowed to seek help for the sake of his daughter Lily - and she's the reason for his new album, 'Adam Ant Is The Blueback Hussar In Marrying The Gunner's Daughter'.</p>
<p>He tells Britain's Mail on Sunday, "She has never seen Adam perform and doesn't know what The Ants were all about. I've had this lifelong battle against manic depression, but I've had to overcome it for her sake. Times got bad. I lost my mind. But I'm back. I won't ever let myself get depressed again, because I've got to be around to bring Lily up. It is no exaggeration to say she has saved my life. I want to show her what her dad the musician is all about."</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Minogue on 'Better the Devil']]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Australian pop star Kylie Minogue has admitted in an interview with Elle magazine that she has been forced to change the way that she sings her 1990s hit 'Better The Devil You Know' due to not being able to reach the high notes any more.</p>
<p>She says she now sings the track, which reached number two on the UK singles chart in 1990, in a lower key for performances.</p>
<p>"Better the Devil You Know' was a turning point and an exciting time for me. I was 21, I'd just started dating [Australian singer-songwriter] Michael Hutchence and a different world had opened up. That song is ludicrously high, so when I perform it on tour, we take it down a bit. Some of those songs sound simple, but when you tackle them live, they're not easy."</p>
<p>Minogue's new single 'All The Lovers' makes its radio premiere on May 14.</p>

<p>The New Yorkers explained in a mailout that the bassist had contributed to the group's recently completed fourth album but would no longer continue his involvement in Interpol.</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Usher is amazed at how the UK is more relaxed when it comes to photos of topless girls being printed in newspapers.</p>
<p>The 'OMG' star visited the country recently to promote his new album 'Raymond V Raymond' and said, "You guys are more open. You embrace life and the human anatomy more.

<p>Usher's 'OMG' single features the line "Honey got some boobies like wow oh wow," and he revealed that a US journalist recently said to him, "You get a bit cheeky on OMG. You say boobies. And I was like: 'Yeh? If you get shocked by a boob I feel sorry for you.' Let's face it, we've all sucked on one in our life."</p>
