Back in October, Cooper took to her official Twitter page and slammed the girls' rendition of the classic track by posting a message that read, "Jesus h Christ, who dun that TLC cover?"

Stooshe then hit back by tweeting, "not nice when artists you are heavily inspired by and even compared to, criticise you," and they have now spoken to We Love Pop magazine about the online clash:

"We've never met her, but LIly Allen was really rude to us on Twitter about our 'Waterfalls' cover. Future Cut has produced it, who she has worked with her whole career. She tweeted, 'Who the hell did that cover of 'Waterfalls'?' so I tweeted back, 'Us and Future Cut, you know the guys that made your first album'."

"I don't think we're ever gonna see eye to eye now, but I just wanted to let her know," member Karis Anderson added. "You have to be careful as we're all trying to make music and just cos it's not your taste doesn't mean you should criticise it so publicly."

Stooshe's Courtney Rumbold also said: "That was kind of a slap in the face. She didn't even say sorry to us, she just said sorry to Future Cut."

The British boyband are often regarded as heartthrobs and it seems they would be willing to go to some length to indulge in some lady action on tour.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Aston Merrygold said that he and bandmate Oritsé Williams almost leapt out of a hotel window after being denied access to groupies by minders. He said:

"Our security guys wanted us to go to bed and they told the girls to get into their car. We were trying to jump out of my bedroom window into their car."

Merryold continue: "Our security came out and said, 'What the hell are you doing?'. Oritsé was telling me to jump. It was mad."

As previously reported, JLS have confirmed that they will split later this year after they embark on a greatest hits tour in December.

The band are currently touring mainland Europe and Horan took to his official Twitter page earlier today (May 1) to thank his fans for making his amazing life possible:

"Just having one of those moments again..so thankful to you guys for gettin us here.we are touring the world this year .its just all so crazy."

One Direction left France yesterday and footage emerged of member Harry Styles getting mobbed outside of his hotel in Paris, which shows just how well-known the lads really are all over the world.

They will perform in Antwerp, Belgium this evening and Horan shared a snapshot via his Instagram page of the city, adding: "Hello Brussels baby! We finally made it to Belgium! #TMHTinBrussels hell yeaahhh!"

After the huge success of his viral hit ‘Gangnam Style’ Psy was worried that he would not be able to live up to his breakthrough chart topping song.

Talking to MTV News, the Korean sensation detailed the anxiety he went through in the run up to the release of his current single ‘Gentleman’: “I released it on April 12, and on April 13 I had a huge concert in Korea... So that week, it was like hell... That week was like the worst time ever in my life."

He also revealed his worries whilst recording his latest tune: “I honestly changed this song so many times until the very last moment. I was not excited, I was terrible; I was so nervous. My only goal was to avoid being called a one-hit wonder.”

Psy easily achieved his aim as the video for ‘Gentleman’ reached 140 million views in just four days.

In response to the runaway success of ‘Gentleman’ Psy said: “I'm not a one-hit wonder. I'm really happy and relieved about that!"

]]> London Newsdesk http://www.pressparty.com/pg/newsdesk/avrillavigne/view/42801/ Sat, 17 Mar 2012 07:26:03 +0000 http://www.pressparty.com/pg/newsdesk/avrillavigne/view/42801/ Avril Lavigne has revealed several details about her forthcoming fifth studio album, describing it as ‘emotional’ but ‘fun’.

The 27-year-old, who has just come off the back of her lengthy 'Black Star' worldwide tour, told the Stereotude website at the launch of her new Abbey Dawn collection that she’s working with several big names on the follow-up to 2011’s ‘Goodbye Lullaby.’

“I’m in the studio right now and I’m working with another Canadian guy who is super rad, Chad Kroeger from the band Nickelback and David Hodges, he’s also a super talented [producer] who did a lot of Evanescence stuff.” 

The ‘What The Hell’ star also confirmed that she’s teaming up with The X-Factor USA judge L.A. Reid, fuelling speculation that Lavigne may be in talks to join the judging panel. But when asked about the rumours, she brushed the question off, simply stating: “I already performed on the X-Factor and that was awesome.”  

She also went onto describe the sound of the album, adding: “I don’t think it’s as young. A lot of acoustic guitars and pianos. There’s a deep message…it’s emotional, [but] it’s a good time because the album is a little more upbeat I think. It’s got some pretty crazy fun songs. It’s about living life and just like making the most of it and having a good time.”

The Canadian popstar, who is dating Hills star, Brody Jenner, was spotted wearing a poncho last week it sparked the rumour that she was pregnant.

She clarified with Access Hollywood that she is not pregnant:

"Oh my god! I was out getting my nails done with my girlfriend and I had a poncho on...there was a whole thing online that I was pregnant. I'm like, ' How insulting!' So no, I'm not. Obviously!"

When they asked her if she was planning to start a family, she replied with: "Not anytime soon!"

The singer, who turns 27 next week, recently played in London, where she was promoting her "honest" album, 'Goodbye Lullaby'.

The front man of pop-punk band Sum 41 produced six of the tracks of Lavigne's 'Goodbye Lullaby', which is out now, from the studio in the house the couple shared together during their marriage and Whibley explained to Billboard:

"We had a studio in the house that we were living in together, so it was just really simple,"

"A lot of the songs I did were just supposed to be demos, but she's the kind of person where, if she does something once, it's usually her best take and she never wants to do it ever again. It would be just a quick demo but it would turn out really well."        

Lavigne was equally as complimentary about the working relationship, and said of him:

"I think I'm pretty lucky, and I feel really grateful to be able to say that we're like best friends, that we're like family,"

"I hope to work with him in the future. We have a great friendship, great relationship and a lot of respect for each other."

"I put so much into this record, but the record company were kind of cold,” she told the ‘News of the World.’ “It's hurtful actually.”

She added, “I've been doing this for ten years now and I write my own music. All of these new people were telling me what to do and I was like: 'NO, NO, NO!' This is my fourth record and I'm 26 so it's time for me to do something a little different. I love this record and I'm really proud of it."

‘Goodbye Lullaby’ is released today.

"I wanted the vocal to be the main instrument."

The 'Sk8er Boi' star also added:

"The theme is about finding innner strenght and moving forward, and just living and learning. It's bitter sweet, there's a blend of happy and sad emotions. It's a really special record."
