If it hadn’t been for some parental matchmaking, the Dove and the Wolf, a k a Paloma Gil and Louise Hayat-Camard, might never have met. Gil grew up in Paris; Hayat-Camard in Martinique. But Gil’s mother introduced them when they were 14 and, Gil says, “We started playing music together.” Now 22, the duo, whose band name is a multilingual play on words — “paloma” is Spanish for “dove” and “loup” (which sounds like Lou, Hayat-Camard’s nickname) is French for “wolf” — just released their first EP, a four-song collection of spare but soaring harmonies. They came to T’s attention via Gaby Basora, the fashion designer for Tucker, who hired Hayat-Camard to babysit her sons while in Paris for business. Cut to a recent day in the Rockaways, a surf spot in Queens where the musicians were making a video for Tucker’s resort collection, set to their song “Springtime.” “It’s one of the first songs we wrote together,” Hayat-Camard says. “It’s about growing up and leaving the place you’ve always lived in.”

LOS ANGELES, SEPT. 21 

AS a former London sex columnist who, as The Guardian once reported, has “had more sexual encounters than she can either accurately count or reliably remember,” Catherine Townsend is not easily rattled when it comes to men. But on her first date with Peter Katsis, she discovered that he had also invited several scantily clad women, along with another guy

A Fashion Photographer’s Museum Moment

Mario Testino

FASHION photographers are finally being taken seriously in the art world. Perhaps that is not surprising, given the art world’s recent obsession with fashion as subject matter, but lately those model-chasing photographers are getting their own attention from museums.

Amber Rose and fiance Wiz Khalifa expecting

Amber Rose and her fiance Wiz Khalifa are reportedly expecting their first child in January 2013.

Amber Rose is reportedly pregnant.

The model and her fiance Wiz Khalifa are thought to be expecting their first child in January 2013 and Amber wants to move up their wedding date to October to avoid getting married when she is heavily pregnant, according to MediaTakeOut.com.

Rapper Wiz proposed to Kanye West's former girlfriend earlier this year and although the pregnancy was a surprise, the pair are said to be thrilled about the baby and are already making a number of lifestyle changes to prepare.

A source told RadarOnline: "Amber and Wiz unexpectedly got pregnant, but they're really happy to be starting a family together.

"Amber's already had to make some big lifestyle changes, like not smoking cigarettes anymore. As a model she's used to having a thin waist, so this is going to be an adjustment for her."

Speaking about the proposal previously, Wiz revealed he showed Amber the "real" him when he popped the question.

He said: "[It was] real simple. It was in the morning time. I just rolled out of bed and got the ring out of the laundry room. Didn't brush my teeth. I was sober, I gave her the real me.

"I didn't cry. But she was crying so much she didn't know what to do. I was like, 'Say something, yo! I didn't let her take time to think about. Knew she was going to say yes."

Siva Kaneswaran to wed girlfriend

The Wanted singer Siva Kaneswaran has revealed he will definitely propose to his girlfriend Nareesha McCaffrey.

The Wanted's Siva Kaneswaran will "definitely" marry his girlfriend Nareesha McCaffrey.

The Irish singer revealed he is so smitten with the luxury shoe designer that he thinks they will be together forever.

When asked on NBC Live in the US "Do you think you're going to marry this woman?", Siva replied "yeah definitely".

However, his bandmate Nathan Sykes was quick to jump in, joking "He only said that because he knows that she's watching."

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed The Wanted's Max George is planning to stay celibate on the band's US tour in order to win back his former fiancee Michelle Keegan.

A source said: "Max is serious about behaving himself - in real life and on his phone.

"He's been telling friends he wants to persuade Michelle to take him back and is dedicated to not having relations with any other women.

"It's not going to be easy while the band are on tour. They are constantly surrounded by women they're meeting for the first time but Max is committed to the challenge."

The 'Chasing The Sun' hitmaker split from Michelle in July after he was pictured kissing another girl in a club.

The ladies' man was also accused of sending racy text messages to old flame Bobbi Aney, who claimed the pair had enjoyed a phone sex fling while he was in a relationship with the pretty soap star

Kelly Osbourne: Fan sent me teeth

Kelly Osbourne's "craziest" fan experience involved her receiving teeth.

The TV star has amassed a wealth of admirers since appearing on the reality series The Osbournes with her family. However, the 27-year-old admits that sometimes her fans can be a little strange.

"sending me their teeth! (sic)," the star exclaimed when asked what her "craziest" fan experience has been.

Kelly is the daughter of Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne. The fashion commentator responded to a fan question about growing up with a 'rock star'.

"I have nothing else to compare it to. All I can say is rock star or not I have an amazing father! (sic)," she gushed.

One admirer was keen to find out the most rock star thing Kelly has ever done. The star came over coy when responding to the subject.

"NO comment sorry i will have to plead the 5th! (sic)," she teased, before the fan replied: "Aw, okay! I bet it''s really juicy but I understand! :) (sic)."

Rita Ora: I've never loved

Rita Ora has "never' been in love.

The R.I.P singer has been linked to reality TV star Rob Kardashian over the last few months, but insists she has never fallen for anyone properly. It seems her fledgling romance with Rob isn't that serious, as Rita can't commit herself fully to a relationship at the moment.

"I've never been in love. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I think it's sad," Rita revealed to BBC Radio One. "I've held a boy's hand before. I've looked into a boy's eyes and [jokingly] said, 'Hey you notice me please!' Honestly, I don't have time for a relationship."

The 21-year-old star would love to settle down one day. However, her current schedule does not allow for much time for her to date.

Rita still has some relationship rules though and is determined never to live in a partner's pocket.

"I'm single at the moment. I'm a girl and I would love to meet a boy, but I have no time and it would be unfair. I'd be like a ghost, an invisible girlfriend in a relationship," Rita explained.

"I don't think every single day is crucial. You need some space. You can still be together forever, just not every single moment of every single day. If the other half in the relationship is crazy and doesn't trust you, then you shouldn't be with them."

Dave Grohl: Foo Fighters improved

Dave Grohl claims the Foo Fighters "used to suck".

The legendary rocker admits his band has got better at live shows over time. The Foo Fighters performed a headline set at the Reading and Leeds UK music festivals that took place over the weekend and Dave is thrilled with how much they have improved.

"We used to suck," Dave revealed to NME magazine, "but now we are pretty good."

The alternative rock band are renowned for their lengthy shows and always aim to put on a performance that people will remember. They even use effects such as fireworks to give the crowd more value for money.

"We don't do those little shows," Dave continued. "We do those big shows, where everybody goes home saying, 'I can't believe they played that many f**king songs.'"

Foo Fighters take every show as seriously as when they first started out. Dave previously enjoyed success with grunge group Nirvana and never expected his next outfit to become so successful.

"Like any band we didn't expect to be playing to an audience this big. It's a big f**king deal," Dave explained. "You don't need a computer, you don't need to finish high school, you just need to pick up a guitar and start a band. I'd like to say thank you for the past 20 years of my life."

Adele celebrates at Caribbean party

Adele's thoughtful boyfriend Simon Konecki threw a Carribean-themedl party to make up for her missing out on the Notting Hill Carnival over the weekend.

Adele's boyfriend threw her a Caribbean-themed party at the weekend.

The 'Someone Like You' hitmaker - who is weeks away from giving birth to her first child - was disappointed at not being able to attend the annual Notting Hill Carnival in west London because of her pregnancy, so partner Simon Konecki did his best to make up for her missing the event.

The charity boss arranged a bash with reggae music and some of the singer's favourite foods, much to her delight.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Simon's really caring and he knew just how much Adele loves the carnival.

"So he decided to bring it to her - by getting their own Caribbean-themed party going at their house.

"Simon ordered bucketloads of chicken and had reggae music blasting out so Adele would get a flavour of what she was missing."

The 24-year-old singer - who has been dating Simon for around a year - revealed her pregnancy to her fans on her website in June.

She wrote: "I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together.

"I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon. Yours always, Adele."

Bobby Brown checks out of rehab early

Bobby Brown has checked out of rehab less than three weeks after entering the facility as part of a deal struck following his arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) in March.

Bobby Brown has checked out of rehab early.

The 43-year-old singer has left an undisclosed facility - where he was thought to be receiving treatment for alcohol addiction problems - less than three weeks after agreeing to be admitted as part of a deal struck following his arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) in March.

A source close to the family told RadarOnline: "Bobby is no longer in rehab, he decided he's had enough treatment for his problems.

"When he first checked in, he promised his family and friends, including his New Edition band mates, that this time he was going to stay in rehab for the full treatment. That's normally a 90-day program.

"However, after fulfilling his duties for his DUI plea deal, Bobby has decided that he doesn't need treatment anymore."

Bobby's family are now said to be "terrified" that he will start drinking again, and some are said to have questioned whether his intentions are "genuine".

The source added: "Bobby's family and friends are terrified, despite his pleas that he's sober, that he will fall off the wagon once again.

"They're not sure if he was ever serious about conquering his demons and have voiced their concerns. It's difficult to believe someone going into rehab for alcohol addiction for such a short time is genuine about giving up drinking."

Bobby's wife Alicia Etheredge recently admitted she and his children - three-year-old Cassius from the couple's relationship, 19-year-old Bobbi Kristina with late ex-wife Whitney Houston, and Landon, 23, La'Princia, 22, and Bobby Jr., 19, with previous partners - were "proud" of the singer for entering rehab

Geri Halliwell and Russell Brand 'all over each other'Geri Halliwell and Russell Brand 'all over each other'

Geri Halliwell and Russell Brand couldn't keep their hands off each other on their first date, a picnic on London's Hampstead Heath.

Geri Halliwell and Russell Brand were all over each other on their first date.

The couple shared a romantic picnic on London's Hampstead Heath just days after they both performed at the Olympics Closing Ceremony earlier this month and onlookers revealed the pair couldn't keep their hands off each other.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Geri and Russell were being very open about everything, there was no attempt to hide the fact that they were on a date.

"There was lots of giggling, eye contact and touching as they sat together near a couple of trees.

"They looked like they had known each other for years - and the relationship was obviously more than just friendly."

Meanwhile, a friend of Russell, 37, claimed the comedian is serious about the 40-year-old Spice Girl - who has a six-year-old daughter Bluebell from a previous relationship - and doesn't care who knows about it.

The pal explained: "He really doesn't mind who knows, because he's serious about her.

"He has fancied Geri for years, so this is almost like fulfilling a lifelong dream for him."

The couple were spotted on another date at the weekend, when they took Bluebell to London's Hampton Court Palace.

The Vaccines: 'Rihanna isn't a real artist'

The Vaccines have hit out at Rihanna for failing to write her own music. Guitarist Freddie Cowan said the Bajan singer lacks credibility because she brings in other people to do all her work. He told Digital Spy: Rihanna isn't an artist - she has 15 writers, 15 songwriters and 15 producers all fighting for space on her albums and she's the face of it. I have nothing against it, but I don't want to be associated with it. Cowan also criticised Coldplay for teaming up with the singer for their single 'Princess of China'.

"I've never heard that song, but it's Coldplay - they'll do whatever they can to be the biggest band on earth, to be bigger than U2," he added. "They do it really well and they've never put out a bad album so hats off to them. I have nothing against those collaborations because I don't feel you can judge people, but I don't think I'll ever be involved in something like that. It needs artistic merit." The band will hit the road for a UK tour in November. Tickets go onsale tomorrow (August 29) at 9am (BST).
.
Meanwhile, The Vaccines' frontman Justin Young has claimed many Russian citizens are "apathetic" about the plight of Pussy Riot. Speaking to NME in a video interview you can watch below, the singer said that the jailed punk band's predicament had fascinated the West more than it had members of the Russian public and suggested their incarceration had "pulled down the façade" that Russia operates like a Western country.

Not your usual A-list retreat: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie book a family holiday in the Lake District

They're used to trotting around the globe with their brood, and have holidayed in a whole host of exotic destinations in recent years.
But for this summer's break, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are hot-footing it to the Lake District with their family.
Taking time off from their filming commitments, the superstar couple will swap their usual sun-soaked retreats for a relaxing boathouse on the tranquil Lake Windermere.

British break: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (pictured in France over the weekend) are said to be planning a holiday in the Lake District with their brood

'They’d already booked a few days off though, and they didn’t want the kids to miss out on their trip up to the Lakes, so they decided to go anyway.
'Brad has rented out an entire boathouse, and the couple have been looking up some local restaurants to dine at whilst there. They’re also planning a day of quad biking for the kids – and Brad.'

Family fun: Brad and Angelina's six children will no doubt be looking forward to spending a few days in the great outdoors

'So happy... oh and it's twins!' Former Atomic Kitten star Jenny Frost reveals she's pregnant and expecting a double bundle of joy

Former Atomic Kitten star Jenny Frost has revealed she is pregnant again... and this time expecting twins.
The singer took to Twitter on Tuesday to reveal she is due to give birth later this year.
And she can't wait to welcome two new additions to her family.

And now she is expecting her first children with husband Spanish scuba diving school owner Vicente Juan Spiteri, who she married in Ibiza a year ago.
Frost wed Spiteri following a whirlwind romance in their home in Balearic island.

Adding to her brood: Jenny already has a four-year-old son, Caspar, from her previous relationship with DJ Dominic Thrupp

Following the nuptials she told OK! magazine: 'It was exactly how I wanted it to be. We couldn't have asked for anything more, it was perfect from beginning to end.'
The 10 minute ceremony, held in both Spanish and English, took place in the grounds of the couple's seven-bedroom Balearic home.
The bride eventually arrived 40 minutes late for the service, which took place at sunset.
Frost and Spiteri started dating a year after she called off her engagement to long-term love Dominic Thrupp, aka DJ Dom T - father of her son Caspar.
The couple called off their wedding when Frost's mother was ill, before ending their eight-year relationship.

[Hip-Hop] Hoodie Allen – Feel The Love

One of fave artists Hoodie Allen has just taken a short break from touring, so to thank his fans he’s taken British dance hit “Feel The Love” (by the ace Rudimental) and reworked it, laying some insane raps over the soulful beats. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect feel-good end-of-summer track, then look no further. Watch the video below or click for a free download.
Hoodie Allen’s latest album, All American, is out now.

[Indie Electronica] Ultraista – Bad Insect

Earlier this year, famed Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich teamed up with Atoms for Peace drummer Joey Waronker and London musician Laura Bettinson to form a supergroup of sorts: Ultraista. Since then they’ve released three tracks, the latest one titled “Bad Insect,” just a few days ago. It’s an electronic whirlwind of a song, full of cascading synths and crackles of distorted noise, atop a smooth, grooving beat. Bettinson’s chilled vocals nicely complement the song’s hypnotic vibe.
Ulraista’s self-titled debut album comes out October 2nd on Temporary Residence.

[MP3 Playlist] Indie Dojo August 2012 Round #4

Sure, the best things in life can be free. But the things we work our asses off for are also pretty amazing. Cause really, if everything was handed to us, we would end of up taking advantage of some really rad things. So to compare life to an Indie Dojo, sometimes we come across these bad ass songs that are ready for a free right click-save to the music library and sometimes we can only give you a Soundcloud stream. Either way though, we try to keep a healthy balance, just to help you appreciate all the free and not so free things in the world…

Lana Del Rey – Summertime Sadness (Hannes Fischer Remix)

Ah, the last weekend of August. Summer seems to be the hardest season to bid farewell to, and who to better articulate that melancholy feeling than Lana Del Rey? But if you find her version of “Summertime Sadness” to be too somber and brooding, there’s an alternative. On this remix, Berlin’s Hannes Fischer brightens up the mood a little, allowing in more light while keeping the gloomy clouds at bay, for a simpler, orchestral-pop vibe. That’s not to say it is devoid of yearning romanticism — that’s a Lana trademark, after all — there’s just less of it, which is hardly a bad thing.
Listen to the original and the remix below. “Summertime Sadness” is off Lana Del Rey’s album Born To Die. Check out more of Hannes Fischer’s music, including remixes of Bon Iver, Feist, Adele, and Little Dragon, on his Soundcloud page.

Feed Me – This Is The Thing (Fink Cover)

Played and sung by me as best I could without ‘help’. Written by the great @finkmusic. The guitar is an old family one from the attic I restored, it’s buzzy but I like it.

Feed Me, one of the most aggressive dubstep/d&b/electro producers of our times has just released the most unusual of tracks, a soft and acoustic guitar tune that includes his very own vocals. It may not be the next banger, but it is a definite welcome to the music mind of the London producer. Delivering a standout cover of Fink‘s “This Is The Thing”, Feed Me once again not only shows the world his diversity, but his willingness to promote all types of music.

[Indie Rock] Wild Nothing – Nocturne (Album Review)

THE WAIT IS OVER! After a two-year lull, Wild Nothing has unveiled a new chapter of their musical repertoire. Nocturne is an eleven-song follow up to the wildly acclaimed debut gem Gemini. Wild Nothing is the dream pop vision of Virginia-grown frontman Jack Tatum, who previously played in the bands Jack and the Whale and Facepaint in the college town of Blacksburg. Since Wild Nothing was born in the summer of 2009, Tatum has left the rolling hills of the Shenandoah Valley for New York.

The album is a strong sophomoric effort for Tatum and his young musical endeavor. It is at the same time mellow and catchy; steady and experimental; pensive and exciting. Tatum said in an interview with Dazed Digital magazine that “Nocturne” is not only his favorite song on the album, but is also representative of an underlying theme “which is kind of this nighttime, drowsy, lack of sleep delirious type feeling.” I don’t think the title track is the best song on the album, but the simple guitar licks, stretchy vocals, and intoxicating harmonies come together beautifully. To me, “Nocturne” is a combination of the band’s biggest hit from Gemini, “Chinatown”, and the sound of those French guys, Phoenix.

[NEW] Faded Paper Figures – Piledrive

It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Los Angeles’ own Faded Paper Figures, but this new track, “Piledrive,” certainly makes the last two years worth the wait. The electro-pop band put their best foot forward here, churning out what could be one of the catchiest songs that Fall 2012 will see. With weaving, skittering synths, a chorus as big as the moon, and the kind of beats that will make your heart pump out of its own chest, it’s got that perfect dose of pop flavor to propel this trio amongst the ranks of popular peers Passion Pit, Foster The People and Phoenix.
“Piledrive” is off Faded Paper Figures’ forthcoming album, The Matter, due out sometime this October.
