	  <title><![CDATA[Harry Styles' tattoo artist: 'His next one will be across his entire back']]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Freddy Negrete, LA based tattoo artist who has previously worked on <a href="/pg/newsdesk/OneDirection/view/76481/">One Direction's Harry Styles</a>, has revealed that the curly haired heartthrob is planning a huge back piece because his current ink is too 'front-heavy'.</p>
<p>Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, Negrete (pictured left) explained that<a href="/pg/newsdesk/OneDirection/view/69897/"> the 'Little Things' singer now wants an elaborate design</a> across his back as it's like a blank canvas at the moment:</p>
<p>"He just can&rsquo;t seem to stop tattooing at the moment, but he&rsquo;s getting worried they&rsquo;re all too front-heavy&hellip; So it&rsquo;s definitely his back we&rsquo;ll be concentrating on."</p>
<p>When asked what the design is likely to be, <a href="/pg/newsdesk/EdSheeran/view/66862/">Negrete confessed that Styles has always been fond of Hebrew lettering</a>: "The whole thing could take months. Harry will probably have more Hebrew lettering. He already has his sister&rsquo;s name in Hebrew on his arm and he loves it."</p>
<p>The artist, who did the hitmaker's five-pointed star, also explained that Styles rarely finds getting tattooed painful as he "talks right through it and is always joking."</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[One Direction's Harry Styles returns to bakery for 'This Is Us' film scenes]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/OneDirection/view/74500/">Boyband superstar Harry Styles </a>recently donned a baker's apron and returned to his former place of work to shoot scenes for <a href="/pg/newsdesk/OneDirection/newsdesk/">One Direction's</a> forthcoming movie, 'This Is Us'.</p>
<p>The heartthrob went <a href="/pg/newsdesk/OneDirection/view/63576/">back to </a><span><a href="/pg/newsdesk/OneDirection/view/63576/">Holmes Chapel in Cheshire</a> to spend a few hours working at the bakery while film crews recorded footage for the group's biographical film, which is being directed by 'Super Size Me' star Morgan Spurlock. </span></p>
<p><span>Styles's old boss,&nbsp;<span>Simon Wakefield</span>, explained that he was always a fantastic member of staff: "<span>He was the most polite member of staff we&rsquo;ve ever had. </span>Customers really took a shine to him."</span></p>
<p>Back in 2010, when Styles was taking part in 'The X Factor', Wakefield told reporters that he would welcome the youngster back if he wasn't successful on the show: "He&rsquo;s welcome back any time but I highly doubt he&rsquo;ll be back to work. I think his career is sorted. He is a great lad and was really popular with the customers when he used to work on counter."</p>
<p>The 'Little Things' hitmaker used to earn just &pound;6 per hour at the <span>W Mandeville bakery</span>, but <a href="/pg/newsdesk/OneDirection/view/73613/">back in April One Direction were named Britain's wealthiest boyband </a>with an estimated collective fortune of &pound;25 million.</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Heidi and Spencer want to work for Justin Bieber and Harry Styles: 'They can't handle their fame']]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/67173/">Former Celebrity Big Brother contestants Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt </a>have admitted that they're definitely tough enough to work for other superstars such as Harry Styles and Justin Bieber because they don't mess around.</p>
<p>Speaking to Yahoo! OMG about their strong personalities, the couple explained that they would love to work with 'self-obsessed' singers like the Canadian heartthrob or the One Direction member as they could handle the pressure and keep them in line when they start to go off the rails:</p>
<p>"They are all too famous and can't handle it, especially with websites like Twitter and Instagram, it's hard to stay humble. What's Justin Bieber been doing today? Probably posting photos of his a** on the internet. The plot is gone and they have lost their scripts."</p>
<p>Spencer Pratt added that he could make the singers even richer than they currently are with his expertise: "I could make them so much more money, they should hire me! I am hated, have no talent yet have made millions of dollars. They are well liked and talented, if only I had their careers!"</p>
<p>They also recently expressed their admiration for One Direction's Styles after Pratt revealed that the star could play him in a movie about his life, alongside Taylor Swift as Montag.</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[George Michael pays tribute to Austrian hospital staff with 1000 tickets]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>George Michael dedicated a concert in Vienna last night (September 4) to the hospital staff in the city that saved his life.</p>
<p>The singer was struck down with a near-fatal bout of pneumonia last year in Austria before spending a prolonged amount of time in a Vienna hospital.</p>
<p>The former Wham! man was forced to pull his tour at the time but he returned to the city on Tuesday night for an emotional show.</p>
<p>He donated 1000 tickets for the <span>Stadthalle Wien</span> gig to staff at the hospital where he was treated, with the star tweeting beforehand:</p>
<p>"Hey everyone, it's that time again! And I get to open the tour singing to the men and women who saved my life."</p>
<p>In an on-stage dedication, Michael said that it was an "honour" to perform in front of the staff. He said:</p>
<p><span>"I'd like to take the opportunity to say that there are a number of people without whom none of us would be here tonight. This is one of the greatest honours of my life, to sing to the men and women who saved my life."</span></p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/georgemichael" target="_blank">George Michael</a> has vowed to gift 1,000 concert tickets to staff at the hospital in Austria where he was treated for pneumonia.</p>
<p>According to the Telegraph, Michael has confirmed he will reschedule the tour dates originally postponed when he fell seriously ill late last year.</p>
<p>He was treated at a Vienna hospital where staff brought him back to health, with Michael admitting that he could have died.</p>
<p>And the newspaper reports that he is inviting 1,000 staff from the hospital to a gig in Vienna. Michael is reported to have said in a statement:</p>
<p>"I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you first to the doctors and nurses who saved my life and took such great care of me," said the singer, who also thanked his friends and family for their support.&nbsp;I'm looking forward to seeing everyone."</p>
<p>Rescheduled dates are due to be performed later this year, with a show at London's Royal Albert Hall planned for September 29.</p>
