Rihanna has been spotted entering Ashton's house around 12am and leaving around 4am. It is rumoured that they have had an 'eight week fling'. The Sun have revealed a 'source', saying that she think Ashton is 'Funny and cute' Hmm, not too sure if this is true, but it doesn't surprise me, I think they made quite a good couple, even f he is still married to Demi Moore.
34 year old Ashton Kutcher cheated on Demi Moore, and she filed for a divorce November 2011, after nearly six years of marriage. Demi was hospitalized in January, when she collapsed in her home. I am not sure if this is a 'close friendship' that has formed between 24 year old singer and two and a half men actor, or whether love is blossoming?
Rebecca Ferguson's new single Too Good To Lose once again shows off her stunning vocals. This is her second single from her debut album, Heaven. The 25 year old X Factor runner up wrote the songs herself as is a true example of REAL talent that has come from The X Factor. Not only beautiful, her lyrics and melodies are really likable and catchy. Here is the new single, sung live, which was released last week
Rhianna gave a steamy performance of Talk That Talk last Saturday on ITV The Jonathan Ross Show. Dressed head to toe in 'BOY' a London collection brand. Her interview was amusing as she tried to teach Jonathan how to speak Bajan. Rihanna quoted her homeland in Barbados as "paradise" and says it will always be her home. As Ross called her a "sex pot", Rihanna said her dancing was a cultural thing. This is so true. Us reserved Brits aren't brought up with natural rhythm and the provocative moves that are learnt from birth in the Carribean.
Rihanna is also starring in a movie this year, which is called Battleship. The star is stripped of makeup (well, let's just say she looks very different!) and her hair is au-naturel, and very short.
At the end of the show, as promised earlier by Ross himself (not for the faint hearted) Rihanna sang whilst swaying her hips in a short skirt, and then proceeded to dance in front of Jonathon Ross down stage whilst Ross covered his eyes.
Watch the clip:
Another artist on the show, was soul legand Lionel Richie, who also gave a live performance. Lionel, who was full of energy and as always charismatic, performed the classic hit, Easy. In his interview he talks about his upcoming duet album, Tuskegee, where he has collaborated with country artists such as Kenny Rogers, and even Shania Twain on his original tracks. This will be released on the 26th March.

If you are a fan of Lionel (who isn't?) and you love a bit of country like me, go to his website: http://lionelrichie.com/ where you can pre-order the album.
Lana Del Rey, born Elizabeth Grant, aged 25 was born in New York. She grew up in Lake Placid and when she was eighteen her uncle taught her "six basic chords" on the guitar.
"I realised I could write a million songs with those six chords- so I moved to New York and took a couple of years to write whatever I wanted."
She is an upcoming and much welcomed artist who has been in the charts lately. Her debut single, Video Games is a great track, but was at first rejected by almost every record company. It was only until she put the video on youtube, and after twenty two million views she was signed to a major label. and a contract with NEXT model management.
Lana's most recent single, Born to die features her unique and soft vocals which at times can be dark, but her melodies are spine tingling. You definitely have to be in a certain mood to listen to her songs- but its worth it.
Check out her website for her latest video, to browse her gallery and her latest tweets: http://www.lanadelrey.com/
Her album, Born to Die was released January 2012, and most of it was written in the UK. The album went straight to number one in the UK charts, as 117,000 copies were sold within the first week.
Here is the video for Video Games; it's raw, low budget and a refreshing change to the big production sexual music videos that seem to circulate these days. Lana stuck vintage clips she found on youtube together, and was actually sued. Still, she has a great voice, and it's a great video.
Gotye's single Somebody that I used to know Featuring Kimbre is still number one after two weeks.
The singer songwriter, his real name Wouter "Wally" De Backer, is Australian/Belgium and has released three studio albums and is in The Basics, a Melbourne based trio band. Kimbre, who features towards the end of the song is also based in Melbourne, Australia and is originally from New Zealand.
I was drawn to his song not only because of the catchy 80s style chorus, and simple yet effective introduction, but the contrast of his dark lyrics of a failed relationship against the upbeat and quite childlike instrumentation. The video, which now has nearly 100 million views is strange, as he stands whilst the painted walls cover his naked body and then Kimbre's also. It is artistic, as is the cover (I always love anything to do with hearts) for his latest album, Making Mirrors, which was released last August 2011 in Australia.
Here is the video, if you haven't already seen it! Do you think it's creative or creepy? He is rather strange looking, but obviously talented.
