SEE: Brand New Bollywood Kylie Minogue

Kylie Does Bollywood
But what on EARTH is she singing?
The good news: A snippet of "Grammy Award winner" Kylie Minogue's much-talked-about Bollywood song with "Academy Award winner" A. R. Rahman (the guy responsible for the music from Slumdog Millionaire and the Pussycat Dolls' spin-off song "Jai Ho") from the film Blue has been released.

The bad news: The lyrics seem to be about Kylie wanting to "chiggy wiggy with you boy". Oh dear. Chiggy wiggy? Does this mean something in an Indian dialect? Even so ... oh dear.

Other news: Blue claims to be "India's biggest underwater thriller". (We're really not sure what the competition is, so we can't comment with any authority)

The best news: You can click and watch it now!
PS: Yes, it really was that short.

Update: A longer version of the preview has just hit the interwebs!

Kylie Minogue, Calvin Harris and Jake Shears in the studio

An Urgent Tweet From Calvin Harris
He's with Kylie and Jake!
It's lucky some people suffer from dreadful insomnia, because it means they can get awesome tweets such as the one just intercepted from a certain Mr Calvin Harris - he's in the studio with Kylie Minogue and Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters - and he's taking photos to prove it!

What sonic magic could they be cooking up for us, we wonder. Hopefully it will be as good as Kylie's work with Calvin ("In My Arms") and better than her work with Jake ("White Diamond").

"Behind you, behiiiiind you!"

Either way, they certainly look to be having a good time, don't they readers? And it's nice to know Kyles is finally back to work (launching perfumes doesn't count as work).

VMAs go Westside
With Katy, Taylor and Russell
Check out this brilliant Westside Story inspired promo for the upcoming MTV VMAs - they're calling it VMA Side Story - which features Cobra Starship, Leighton Meester, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and the award show's host, Russell Brand.

Although, let's be honest, MTV always make a good promo (even if this song is a little sub-par), but the awards can go either way. This half of the 'Brain thinks Russell is always good value, but the VMAs very often throw up very odd winners for awards - Britney won for "Piece Of Me", really? - but at least the list of performers, including Pink, Green Day and Lady Gaga, is impressive this year.

More Beached Az bru!

Life's a beach

Or: Whale of a time

I was stoked - yes, stoked! - to hear that one of the funniest web videos ever is being turned into a series.

Beached Az, an hilarious animated short about a beached New Zealand whale, has been a net sensation and spawned spin-off merchandise including t-shirts and mugs.

Now some smartie at the ABC has commissioned 11 more shorts which will see the cheeky whale beaching himself and meeting an array of new animal pals.

The eps will start on Thursday September 10 at 9.25pm on ABC2, but can been seen on the new website from, oh, about now.

"Nah, can’t eat a chip bru, can only eat plankton!" Classic.

Check out the classic original short which has now had almost five million YouTube views!

Psych teaches The Mentalist a lesson

Psyched out!
Take that Simon BakerWe at The ‘Brain love the brilliant show Psych. If you’ve missed the few episodes Ten actually played (go get the DVDs already), it’s about a super observant guy, Shawn (played by James Roday), who pretends to be a psychic and helps police solve crimes.

Sounds a little like super ratings hit The Mentalist, starring Australia’s Own™ Simon Baker, no?

Yes, well the hilarious people at the much under-appreciated Psych (which started in 2006 – more than two years before The Mentalist) noticed that too and decided to have a bit of fun with it in the show’s new season.

Poll: Who are the Best and Worst celebrities on Twitter?

Who is ruining Twitter for the rest of us?

World responds: "Katie Price is!"

A new survey by one-poll has confirmed what we all already knew: Katie Price is annoying (stop. talking. about. Peter.) and Stephen Fry is awesome.

A whopping 4000 Twitter-er-ers took part in the poll to find the most interesting and most annoying celebrities on Twitter. And, sure, the results may well come as a shock to Katie... but nobody else.


Here are the full findings...

Worst Tweeters

1. Jordan (Katie Price)
2. Peter Andre
3. 50 Cent
4. Mariah Carey
5. P. Diddy

I have to say, P.Diddy is pretty annoying. I don't mind a bit of positivity and nonsense, it's just the sheer volume of, well, nonsense. Doesn't he have, like, a job and stuff? I actually deleted him but still his tweets come. Isn't that, like, illegal or something? Curse you, P.Diddy!

Best Tweeters

1. Stephen Fry
2. Jimmy Carr
3. Phillip Schofield
4. Russell Brand
5. Barack Obama

Aside from now thinking the only people actually completing the survey were those British-ians, personally, we think the exclusion of The 'Brain is most upsetting aspect of the whole shebang.

LEAK: Chris Brown feels sorry for himself in song

Everybody hates Chris
(His words - please don't hit us!) Poor old Chris Brown.

Just because he beat his popstar girlfriend to a pulp people have turned on him.

This makes Chris sad.

“Everybody hates Chris,” he opines in the third person in a new leaked track called “Changed Man” that has hit the web.

For the record, Chris’s “people” say the song is an “old demo” and won’t appear on his new album Graffiti.

“There are several old demos circulating that are being falsely promoted as new material from Chris,” says Jive Records.

How old? A month? Two?

Are we expected to believe that lyrics like:

What do you do when the truth isn't quite enough?
They looking at you telling you that we need to break it up
You need to do what you do it's me and you in love
But I'mma make it up to you and show the world I'm a changed man

and

I remember your touch
God I miss you so much
Please believe me baby I’m sorry
And all of this money and fame can never amount
To every moment when I see your face

Are in no way related to Rihanna?

If you feel like vomiting today - be it for weight loss or to expel some of the copious amounts of alcohol you imbibed last night, or if you just find it cleansing - then I suggest you give “Changed Man” a listen.

Call me coo-coo, but playing the victim when you’re actually the perpetrator ain’t a good way to win back friends.

Where’s Rihanna’s new single already?

Pete Wentz & Ashlee Simpson: breaking up or happiest family ever?

A Family Portrait: Pete, Ashlee and Bronx*

* When the going gets tough, the tough deflect attention!

In a very confusing move, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and Melrose Place "actress" Ashlee Simpson have released a new family photo of themselves with baby boy Bronx Mowgli. Would someone more cynical than I suggest it was released just to deflect from gossip that the pair had a very nasty public spat in Chicago over the weekened? Hmmm, maybe... particularly since Pete has previously gone on and on (and on) about how they want privacy for lil' bub. Either way, we get a cute pic of him. Observe...




Awww. They're such a happy family. Can't you tell? It's all there in the photo... b-b-but how does Pete explain such previous rants that included, “We are followed day and night and that was fine when it was us but we are going to do our best to shelter Bronx from that as much as possible”?

Well, by way of justification of the above pic, Pete blogged: “you know i wrote that i didnt really want to post pictures of bx out there. i feel like it would be damaging to our family and besides hes not old enough to decide if he wants to be an avatar or not. but the truth is i want him to know there is other stuff out there on the web about him that isnt damaging and is just normal. besides we had an old friend come and just take some pics so we could remember him when he was this lil. hes blonde now.”

Ohhhhh, so it's to show the good side of the interwebs. Now I get it! Huh?

NEW VIDEO Twilight New Moon: Kristen Stewart SMILES!

WORLD FIRST!
Kristen Stewart smiles*

*This is not a misprint

Behind the scenes of Taylor and Kristen's Entertainment Weekly shoot

Taylor Lautner may not be as recognisable as his Twilight rival Robert Pattinson but he has one-upped him by achieving something the vampire is yet to master: making the usually-gruff Kristen Stewart smile.

Actual smile. With teeth.... which we didn't know she even *had* until now.

The pair are pretty cute together and definitely bring the hotness for their shoot for Entertainment Weekly in the lead up to the Twilight sequel New Moon. Check out the behind-the-scenes footage at EW.com or see it here for yourself...



They really look like they're having fun. Actual fun. Who knew?

Meanwhile, HOW does he jump like this??



Aside from being distracted by Taylor's non-stop flipping, I did manage to catch Kristen admitting Taylor makes her smile. Has she got a happy twin somewhere that they got to stand in for this shoot or something? Just WOW!

Either way, they ended up with a pretty hot looking cover at the end of the day....


... so everybody wins!

NEW PIC! Twilight Barbie dolls

Barbie digs Vampires!

Always thought there was something creepy about Barbie? Well, turns out she may have been long plotting to sink her teeth into your neck.

A few months ago Mattel announced they'd be making a range of Barbie dolls based on the Twilight franchise... and today they've released their first pic of all their hard work. Yes, it's Bella "Barbie" Swan and Edward "Ken" Cullen!



I have to admit I was expecting more vampire-y-ness. It just looks like a c.1978 Barbie and Ken in their hiking outfits... or is that just me?

In any case if you are still all "what the...?" about the situation, Mattel have gone on to do what they do best and over-explain the marrying of the two brands. “Barbie has always been at the forefront of pop culture,” said Lauren Dougherty, a Mattel spokeswoman. “This is a partnership that shows that Barbie is in love with Twilight. It’s fun. It’s fan life. We’ve done Star Trek Barbie. These projects are about unique, high-detail, authentic collectibles.”

O....K....

That's all well and good but let's call a spade a spade: it's also about money.

Leighton Meester sacked??

Leighton: out
Estelle: in

What do you do when the famous-ish guest vocalist on your song is simply too famous to help you promote it? Wait for them to become available? Nahhh, you just hire someone else!

Cobra Starship have done just that to perform their hit "Good Girls Go Bad" for their appearance on last night's Tonight Show. Instead of being stuck at the whim of Leighton Meester, the track's main drawcard who is busy filming Gossip Girl, they just went and asked Estelle to fill in for her! Observe...



Sure, Estelle went and changed the lyrics but these things happen. However, changing "hanging IN the corner with my five best friends" to "hanging ON the corner with my five best friends" is a small error but that one word does sort of give the song an entirely new meaning. Oh dear. Plus, her awkward hugging with the lead singer dude (I don't know his name... shall we call him Cobra?) made me feel uncomfortable but, hey, at least she was available to perform on the night.

Anyway, I *love* this song and a great part of that is because of Leighton (and the fun video). However, I admire the super-smarts of Cobra Starship for dealing with her little scheduling issue by hiring another famous singer to fill in for her. Since there's no chance of Leighton (EVER) being regularly available to join them on the road to sing her bits of the song, I hope they manage to get some other really cool artists to help out in the future.

I'd really like to see Gwen Stefani give it a go or even actual good girls who have gone bad like Lindsay Lohan or Miley Cyrus. What do you reckon? Maybe Leighton will never have to perform it again!*

Kathy Griffin takes Levi Johnston to the Teen Choice Awards

Kathy makes teen choice
Sarah Palin less thrilled

The ‘Brain – or at least the portion of The ‘Brain currently typing – loves a bit of Kathy Griffin. In fact, I was once filmed by the My Life On The D-List crew and they never used me on the show. Can you believe it? Yes, I can too.

The same said person also got rather a large chuckle when Kathy turned up at the Teen Choice Awards with 19-year-old Levi Johnston – baby daddy to Tripp, son of Bristol Palin, who, in turn, is the daughter of failed US Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

As if the hilarity of the unlikely pairing on the red carpet wasn’t enough, Kathy had Levi on as a guest when she filled in as host on Larry King Live on CNN.

It was car crash hilarious as Kathy made inappropriate comments and Levi did... whatever it is Levi does. I especially loved his critique of Miley Cyrus’s pole dancing Teen Choice Awards performance: “inappropriate”.

I’d like to say Levi is a good sport, but I’m not entirely convinced that he’s in on the joke. And while I understand relations with the Palins are not exactly at an all-time high, I don’t think this is helping matters – and mate, you’re going to have to be dealing with them for quite some time yet.

It might be 10 minutes, but it sure gave me a good laugh.

While we're back on the subject, check out a clearer version of Miley's skanktastic (sorry Miles) pole dancing performance of "Party In The USA". Guffaw as she kicks off the song by coming out of a trailer (for realz ya'll!), delight at the fact she has changed the "Jay-Z" lyric to "Michael" ("MJ" would have clearly been a better fit) and marvel at the "I'm A Slave 4 U" dancing when she name drops Britney.

Gossip folks
The bitches are back (soon)

With the new US TV season but weeks away, the networks have begun rolling out promos for returning shows. We were delighted to get our hands on those for two ‘Brain faves – Gossip Girl and 90210 (redux).

The CW has obviously found that last year’s “OMFG” Gossip Girl compaign was a massive success, because there’s more of where that came from for both shows this time around.

Of course in Australia we never even saw the end of 90210’s first season, and seeing as Ten have failed massively by wasting their digital channel with the calamity that is One, I suggest and endorse illegal download (I’m too lazy to do it myself, so please forward discs to The ‘Brain if you decided to go Robin Hood).

Justin Timberlake's new scent

Justin smells like a Player
Allegedly
Not happy with just acting and playing golf, Justin Timberlake has found yet another way to avoid recording a new album. He's followed the lead of greats such as, um, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears and released a scent called Play.

Odd, since JT admits he doesn't wear cologne himself.

"I said, 'You know what? Actually, I don't really wear cologne that much'," Justin recalls of being approached to put his name to an overpriced bottle of ambergris. "I think, honestly, they took it as a challenge to create something that I would really want to wear."

Ye$, $omehow Givenchy were abled to help $elf-confe$$ed "quinte$$ential male" JT reali$e that a cologne could "compliment" his "all-natural pheromone$" and he quickly decided he was ju$t the man for the job.

"I sort of feel like nothing should take away from pheromones, because it's been chemically proven that those are the most attractive scents on people," Justin blabbed to Entertainment Tonight. "I'm sort of a minimalist, quintessential male. I like pretty fresh, clean scents. I don't like a barrage of smell, so I started talking with them about how do you achieve that fresh, clean scent? And they 'learned me' about citrus and wood flavors that you kind of add in to create that type of aroma. It's actually really fascinating how they do it."

Wow this seems like an ad, doesn't it? Maybe Givenchy should approach me about putting out a fragrance. Hell, I even wear it!

You can hear Justin go on and on about his perfume in the video below ... but what does Jessica Beil think about it? Hold your breath kids!



PS: Please record your album now Timberlake.

Right, so it's the best thing she's done since "See You Again" - which, natch, was awesome also - and now she's gone and ruined it all with a pole dance (a POLE. DANCE.) at today's Teen Choice Awards. I hate to be all unfun but, dude, you're 16.... poles are not for you.

BATTLE OF THE VAMPS: EDWARD CULLEN vs ANGEL!

WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT?

Twilight takes on Buffy

Buffy The Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon has always had (surprisingly??) nice things to say about the Twilight phenomenon and now he's finally gone on record about the big question we've all been asking: who would win in a fight between David Boreanaz's big bad Angel/Angelus and Robert Pattinson's little shiny Edward Cullen?

“I think Robert Pattinson is really cool. Angel would kick the shit out of him. He’s Angelus. There’s no Edward Cullunus. He just gets shiny in the sun. Boreanaz would have him down in a heartbeat. No offense, cause he’s hot," Joss told MTV News.

No arguement there. Joss went on to reveal that he has long been surprised by his own vampire-idea brilliance...

“I don’t get this whole vampire romance thing. I mean that could never happen. Who would believe that? It seems so stupid. I literally thought that when I created the character of Angel. I thought a vampire romance with a slayer… people are going to laugh me out of the room. They’ll never go for it. Clearly I was wrong. There’s something really timeless about it. I saw Twilight… there’s something primal about that story. You can’t get away from it. It works like gangbusters.”

You can watch the short interview with Joss here... but - and this comes from a place of utter love - you know how there are some people who you just should never hear speak? Yeah, this is that. I've always felt this way about him and I can't explain it - it's like every word that comes out of his mouth is cool and looks great in print... but when he's actually saying it, it's awkward. Up to you...

I also just *love* this Twilight cartoon that coincidentally sums up what Joss is saying (and I apologise to the person who created it originally because I can't find a proper link to you - but happy to fix that if anyone knows?). How cute is it???

LEAKED: Alleged new Holly Valance single "Superstar"

Holly's a superstar!
Well, that's what it says here... After mixed success actoring her way through guest roles on American TV shows (we loved her best as the dead body in CSI: Miami), one-time Neighbours vixen Holly Valance has allegedly decided to return to her side career: popstar.
In 2002 she topped the charts in Australia and the UK with "Kiss Kiss" (you remember, the one with her in the nuddy in the video) only to dump the whole thing after her second (actually rather good) album flopped, labelling music "boring".
According to The Daily Mail she's apparently had a change of heart with news that she is set to release a new EP titled Superstar (ahem), featuring the leaked track of the same name.
She first dipped her toe back into the music scene with a role in the video for Frankmusik's awesome "Confusion Girl". The two apprently dated, but have already split according to the wacky-haired musik man.

Hol and Frank: In Happier times.

"One minute she'd be all into me, the next she wouldn't even hold my hand," pipped Frank* recently. "Then she sent me an e-mail saying, 'I really hope you're with other girls now and you're moving on. I hope you're really happy because I'm really happy'. I've deleted her off Facebook."
He's also withdrawn his offer to produce some songs for her.
Oops.
So is Holly poised to take over the world of pop once again? And how many seconds will it last this time?
To be completely honest The 'Brain has had a mixed history with Ms. Holly Valance. She is one of those "refreshingly honest" types who can either be perfect lovely or decidedly not depending on the occasion.
But y'all know what suckers we are for Neighbours pop.
Ch-ch-check it out!

Actor/comedian/rescuer-of-wayward-transvestites Eddie Murphy's 1985 hit "Party All The Time" is one of The 'Brain's favourite songs of all time. No joke. All freaking time.

Nat’s back!
Finally. Natalie Imbruglia isn’t one for rushing things.

In her 12 year recording career she has released just three albums and a greatest hits package. So imagine our delight to find that her new album Come To Life is so close to coming out that she has released its first video.

But, oddly, “Wild About It” isn’t the album’s first single. That honour goes to “Want” which will be released next month. Instead it’s a viral "taster", which sees Nat dancing around a house in a tutu with friends. Nice to see her having a bit of fun in a video for once!

A series of teaser films featuring British comedians David Walliams and Alan Carr will also hit the net any minute.

As big Nat fans, we can’t wait for the album, especially the songs – including “Want” – that she has written with Chris Martin. Another two actually feature Coldplay, including “Lukas”, which has been produced by Brian Eno.

“A bit annoyingly we've given her the best Coldplay song of all time," says Chris. “But because we're off-cycle we can't do it ourselves. Half of me wishes we still had it - but she sounds brilliant on it. I think she has a very unique talent and an incredibly unique voice."

Excited much?

Anyway, check out the video and we’ll deliver you more Nat action as it comes to hand!
