Speaking to a reporter when promoting his band's new reality show, 'The Wanted Life', George explained that his party lifestyle coupled with adapting to being a British man in the USA means he'll have to 'wait another seven months' to find out if the girl in question is expecting his baby: 

"Do I have any regrets? Well, she hasn't rang me with any news, so... no news is good news in my book. So not so far! I'll give it another seven months and I'll tell you then, but it's all good."

The 'Glad You Came' hitmaker quickly realised what he had said and added: "I'm going to f**king live to regret that one, aren't I?"

When asked if the show boasts any risqué footage that he wouldn't want his family members seeing, Geoge said: "I don't think it's anything that my mum hasn't seen - well, it is! I think they'll understand. I'm more concerned about my nana really than my mum, because I still live with my mum so she sees it anyway."

'The Wanted Life' premieres in the UK on Monday, June 24 at 9pm on the E! channel.

TRACKLISTING REVEALED BELOW!

LISTEN BELOW

For 20 years, Backstreet Boys have delivered the finest pop music has to offer – tightly crafted songs, floor-shaking rhythms, and unmistakable harmonies. On July 28th, all five original members - Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson – will release their new album In A World Like This.

From the first note to the last, In A World Like This impressively showcases the group’s preeminent pop mastery with a collection of indelible tracks that surely rank among their biggest and best hits. Fans were treated to a performance of new song 'Permanent Stain' in May on Good Morning America where the boys announced their new album and world-tour.

“We always want to top our previous albums. That’s always our objective” says Carter. “All five of us were determined to create an album where every song could be a single.” Backstreet Boys did just that. In A World Like This captures unified voices making the most vital music imaginable, and five talented artists creating influential, unforgettable pop.  

“Our goal is always to push ourselves as much as possible,” adds AJ McLean. “We want Backstreet Boys to keep setting the template and raising the bar.”

In A World Like This was recorded in London and Los Angeles with producers/fans Martin Terefe, Max Martin, Morgan Reid & Prophet, Dan Muckula and Justin Trugman.

One of the most successful groups in music history, with countless #1s, record-setting tours, and worldwide sales in excess of 130 million, Backstreet Boys are also among pop’s most influential. Continuing with their 20th Anniversary celebrations – which included a star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame - the group will set out on a world-tour that will kick off with a North American headlining tour beginning August 2nd.

The Backstreet Boys will hit the UK at the end of the month. They will perform at London's G-A-Y on Saturday, June 29th.

USAToday.com had an exclusive first listen stream of WAITING FOR THE DAWN yesterday and Paste Magazine recently premiered “The Great Divide” video – watch below.

The band also kicked off their “Be A Mowgli” campaign (www.beamowgli.com) which encourages fans to promote positive change through their manifesto of loving everyone and random acts of kindness.  Users can submit photos and other multimedia showcasing what it means to “Be A Mowgli” to them and even call a number that the band is answering to talk about positivity and love.

The Mowgli’s are into a busy spring and summer schedule of major festival dates across the U.S. which has already taken in Edgefest in Dallas, Revelry in Madison, WI and Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN.  A dozen more festival dates include Summerfest (June 29th), Lollapalooza (August 4th) and Bumbershoot (September 1st).  These will be combined with headlining dates through May, June and July.  Tour dates have also been set for October with Walk The Moon.

The Mowgli’s comprise five childhood friends from the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, augmented by 3 mid-western transplants: Michael Vincze (guitar, vocals), David Applebaum (keys), Spencer Trent (percussion), Josh Hogan (guitar, vocals), Andy Warren (drums), Katie Jayne Earl (vocals), Colin Dieden (guitar, vocals) and Matt Di Panni (bass).  Part ‘60s Laurel Canyon, part ‘70s Venice Beach, and part ‘10s Silverlake, the band and their harmonies are held together by a message of universal love, peace and the belief that the highest form of consciousness is achieved by togetherness and unity.  Inspired by the grind of Los Angeles, the magnetism of San Francisco, and the serenity of the Big Sur Coast, the songs of The Mowgli’s can be described as a joyous revival of rock and roll, a twisting indie-folk dance and a heartfelt protest ballad.  They have been known to slide from indie pop to country and a host of genres in between, evoking modern artists such as Fun., Grouplove, and Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros, while their roots are firmly planted in the music of Neil Young, the Byrds, the Beach Boys, and Fleetwood Mac.

Meet The Mowgli’s below:

The platinum-haired singer took to the stage at Sony Music's HQ for the Xperia Access launch after touching down from a trip to Los Angeles.

Ora addressed the crowd at the UK show and admitting to feeling a little out of sorts.

According to Contact Music the star revealed: ''I haven't slept for about 48 hours but who cares. I came straight off a flight and headed straight here. I've barely had any time to do my hair and my make up, so I apologise.''

Ora performed some of her best-loved hits including 'Shine Ya Light', 'How We Do' and 'R.I.P' at the event.

The star also revealed that she is looking forward to the release of her second album later this year.

She explained: ''This past year has really changed me, it's been the most surreal time. It's pretty awesome. 'The second album I'm going to release is something can't wait to show you guys. I'm really excited.

She added: ''I used to listen to so much music and I know my first album was an introduction of me to you guys and it's more than an honour that you guys have given attention to it, so thank you for that.''

Troubled actress Lohan was court-ordered to 90 days of treatment in a rehabilitation centre when she made a deal with prosecutors earlier this year stemming from a reckless driving case in 2012.

Lohan is friends with The Wanted - also comprising Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Nathan Sykes and Tom Parker.

The five-piece - who are currently promoting their reality show 'The Wanted Life' - were based in the US to film the series, and shared a drink with Lohan before a court date.

George explained: "I don't think she is [in it], no. She did pop over at one point to see us all but it was really brief. It wasn't for the show or anything. She was just in town and she wanted a little bit of support before her court case.

He added: "That scene [in the first episode of The Wanted Life] where we were in the pub... we actually bumped into her ex-boyfriend, who said she was in town and needed a bit of support because she was a bit down about her court case.

"So we invited her over to the house for a bit, just to have a drink - which probably wasn't the best idea."

The platinum-haired singer took to the stage at Sony Music's HQ for the Xperia Access launch after touching down from a trip to Los Angeles.

The singer, who will be turning 21 on July 22nd, recently told ET Canada: 'I feel like sometimes I am 15 in my heart. You know, sometimes I just go in waves of being a child and being an adult. It's awkward, I am growing up. I am just trying to figure out who I am.''

But turning 21 means more than just growing a year older, and Gomez plans to make use of her legal drinking age status.

When asked about enjoying a cocktail or two, Gomez said: ''I'm going to enjoy being 21, absolutely, of course. I am going to have a party. ... My family from Texas, my friends [and] my cousins are flying in. I will have some of my best friends in L.A.''

Watch Gomez performing her hit ‘Come and Get It’ live at The Radio Disney Music Awards earlier this month here:

Writing on his official Twitter page last night, the hitmaker told his 2 million followers that he was about to be given a special award for his "accomplishments and advocacy on behalf of the LGBT community": "Receiving Los Angeles' City of Hope Award from Mayor @villaraigosa this evening. What an honor!"

Lambert also shared a photograph of himself with mayor Villaraigosa on his Instagram page and the City of Los Angeles Heritage Month Celebrations' Facebook page uploaded a couple of snapshots taken at the ceremony (pictured above left and below), which took place at the Los Angeles City Hall.

The Dream and Spirit of Los Angeles Awards were given to Mia Yamamoto, who is a longtime attorney and LGBT activist, and Rodney Scott, President of Christopher Street West/LA PRIDE.

Earlier in May, Lambert was given the Davidson/Valentini prize at the 2013 GLAAD Awards for making a significant difference in promoting equality for the LGBT community and he has also been nominated for an O Music Award, thanks to the enthusiasm of his fan base.

Listen to Lambert's City of Hope acceptance speech below:

The 67-year-old 'Rocky Horror Show' star is recovering, following the collapse at his Los Angeles home. His agent Marcia Hurwitz confirmed.

"Tim is doing great."

"He absolutely can speak and is recovering at this time and in great humour."

Curry is best known for playing the infamous role of Dr Frank N. Furter in Richard O'Brien's 'The Rocky Horror Show' and Jim Sharman's movie adaptation 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'.

'The Rocky Horror Show' returned last winter for its 40th anniversary tour and the film is still in limited release to this day.

Curry also played Mozart in the stage production of 'Amadeus', and is known for his film roles in 'Annie', 'Clue' and Stephen King's 'It', among others.

News of the concert appeared online the day of the gig (April 27). Tickets cost just $20 and were allocated via a lottery system.

The Rolling Stones took to the stage at The Echoplex, located in Echo Park, and performed a 14 song set list which lasted an hour and a half.

Songs played on the night included The Stones’ own hits such as ‘Miss You’, ‘Start Me Up’ and ‘Street Fighting Man.’ They also incorporated a number of covers such as ‘Little Queenie’, which was made famous by Chuck Berry, and ‘Just My Imagination’ by The Temptations. 

Frontman Mick Jagger joked with the audience: "Welcome to Echo Park, a neighbourhood that's always coming up - and I'm glad you're here to welcome an up and coming band."

The Rolling Stone’s ‘50 and Counting’ Tour will officially begin on May 3 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The band will bring the tour to the UK to headline Glastonbury Festival on June 29 and to play two shows in Hyde Park, London on July 6 and July 13.

Writing on the social networking site earlier today (April 22), the star explained: "Landed in Hot Sunshine.. I'm wearing a full on tracksuit!! Not most suitable attire!! Legs are coming out lol. 7am here in LA... Video shoot time!! #DearDarlin. We are on the move.. Let's GROOVE!!"

He later returned to Twitter to tell his fans that he was excited by Manchester United's football score: "On #DearDarlin vid shoot.. Buzzing to hear that UNITED are 2-0 up but no-one likes footy... #silentcheering."

'Dear Darlin'' was co-written by Ed Drewett and will drop on June 3 while his debut U.S. album release, 'Right Place Right Time', peaked at No.5 in America over the weekend.

The songstress, who found fame after being a contestant on 'The X Factor' and enjoying a hit single with 'Once', took to her official Twitter page earlier today (March 29) and told her followers that she's working on a music video for a song from her forthcoming new album:

"On set for my new music video for my 2nd album!! So so so so excited!!!!!"

She also shared a few photographs from Los Angeles (pictured below), where the video was shot, and one of them shows a series of blonde wigs accompanied with the caption: "We're wiggin' out on set ;)"

Vickers is yet to unveil any other details about the impending release, but she explained that today was her last day in Los Angeles. The new album will be her follow up offering to 2010's 'Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree'.

Watch her video for 'The Boy Who Murdered Love' here:

The band took home the Favourite Music Group and Favourite Song (for 'What Makes You Beautiful') prizes a few days ago, and member Niall Horan explained that he is "overwhelmed" at the fantastic news:

"Wow! I can't believe it! Sorry I'm late! Thank you soo much for the KCA'S! Wow! So overwhelmed my it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Singer Liam Payne added: "Ive only just heard, thank you so much to everyone who voted for us to win the 2 kids choice awards! Love you all! Best fans everrrr :)"

The British boyband are currently in the States filming a new reality TV show for E! as they increase their already prominent reputation across the pond.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Jay McGuiness said, for whatever reason, he decided to act as a tour guide on a bus in Los Angeles - despite having no knowledge of the city. He said:

"I don't know why, but I suddenly started acting like the tour guide on a bus. I knew nothing about the area so I made it up."

McGuiness added: "There were children there so I had to make it up in a very family-friendly way."

The singer said that their stay in the US, which is based in a plush pad complete with swimming pool, has been akin to a "holiday camp".
