Lindsay Lohan's car reportedly found free of damage in alleged accident

Los Angeles police found no damage to actress Lindsay Lohan's sports car as part of their investigation into a hit-and-run allegation, sources told TMZ.com.

The Web site said LAPD investigators found no dings, dents or scrapes on Lohan's hot black Porsche that would back up claims by Thaer Kamal that Lohan clipped him in the leg as she and a pal scooted away from a swarm of photographers outside the Hookah Lounge earlier this month.

The inspection apparently has not dissuaded Kamal, the manager of the night spot, from seeking damages from Lohan. TMZ said Kamal and his attorney have said they have surveillance video showing Lohan hitting not only Kamal but two cars as well.

Lohan denies the allegations; however, Kamal is still pressing for a payoff in the six-figure range, TMZ said. Although no criminal charges have been filed, the incident comes at a fairly inconvenient time for Lohan, who has been digging herself out of a series of legal holes in recent years. The New York Post said Lohan faces a March 29 court hearing in Los Angeles where the judge could revoke her probation for her shoplifting bust.

Blur frontman Damon Albarn has revealed that he almost recorded an album with David Bowie and The Kinks' mainman Ray Davies.

The singer, who is currently preparing for the release of the studio album version of his opera Doctor Dee, told The Quietus that for precisely 24 hours he was set to make a record with the Thin White Duke and The Kinks man.

Asked how much he enjoyed collaborating with other musicians, Albarn said: "I do genuinely like working with people but at the same time I don’t expect it to work, and there have been a lot of people who a lot of things don't happen. I mean, for about 24 hours, many years ago, I was making a record with David Bowie and Ray Davies. But that only lasted 24 hours."

Albarn also spoke about 'Under The Westway', a new song he has written for Blur, which the band premiered earlier this year during a gig at London's O2 Shepherds Bush Empire and which bassist Alex James has heavily hinted that they will be performing at their Hyde Park show this summer.

Speaking about 'Under The Westway', he said: "I've done a new tune for Blur, it's really traditional. It's something I've had knocking about for years and didn’t know what to do with it. Initially I wrote it as a slightly wistful national anthem for my house, I had this idea of getting it made into an old 78 record and making a flag and then just playing it - just being really silly. But I had these chords and I ended up writing this tune around it."

He then went on to say that he feels it might be the last song he ever writes for Blur, adding: "I don’t really do anything with Blur any more - there’s this concert this year but its not a full time thing at all. Maybe this tune's a last little coda to the whole story."

Blur announced last month that they will return to Hyde Park, the scene of three of their reunion shows of 2009, for a gig which will also feature The Specials and New Order. The show will take place on August 12 to mark the end of the 2012 Olympics.

FX is said to be currently in talks to adapt the Coen brothers' black comedy Fargo into a television show.

The film, which was released in 1996, starred Frances McDormand, William H Macy and Steve Buscemi. It followed a pregnant Minneapolis police chief trying to solve a series of homicides.

The movie earned an Academy Award for 'Best Screenplay' and a 'Best Actress' award for McDormand.

According to Variety, the plan for the series is in early stages of production.

Joel and Ethan Coen had already signed on last year to produce HarveKarbo for Fox, a proposed series about a grouchy LA private detective. The project is still in development.

FX has enjoyed major success in the past year with new shows like Archer, Wilfred and the popular horror drama American Horror Story.

Warm up the bucket of pig blood — we’re getting closer to finding us a Carrie! A gaggle of actresses have been reading for the lead role in Kimberly Peirce’s adaptation of Stephen King's book (which will reportedly hew closer to the source than Brian DePalma's 1976 horror classic), and now we're told the field has narrowed to two main contenders: the 15-year-old Chloë Moretz (Kick-Ass) and the 24-year-old Haley Bennett, who is starring with Ryan Gosling in Terrence Malick's next project, Lawless.

These two sit at the top of a list of candidates that has included such young up-and-comers as Dakota Fanning (all growed up and, lately, a Volturi in Twilight), Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), Bella Heathcote (In Time), and Lily Collins (Mirror Mirror), who have all read for Peirce. We also hear that earlier this week, The Descendants' Shailene Woodley passed on an offer from MGM to take the title role.

Meanwhile, we're also told that for the role of Carrie's unhinged fundamentalist mother, Peirce has approached Jodie Foster and is interested in Julianne Moore. It's not so strange to aim for past Oscar winners for a horror flick: After all, both Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie (who played her mom) got nominated for the film.

Kim Kardashian is selfish, will do anything to keep herself in the news and doesn't have a heart ... so says PETA, in reaction to the news KK is planning to press charges against the girl who threw flour on her at an event Thursday night. 

In a statement to TMZ, the animal rights group (which claims it had nothing to do with the incident), says, "If she presses charges, at least people will be constantly reminded of her selfish, callous disregard for the cruel deaths that she causes by wearing fur."



They continue, "How much better it would be if she decided to evolve and enhance her image by donating her vulgar furs and exotic-animal skins to the homeless. The activist acted from the heart, something Kim doesn't seem to have."

PETA concludes their statement by saying, "If anything, Kim should get a life, the very thing that she denies animals."

As TMZ first reported, we're told Kim is planning on pressing charges because she doesn't feel the woman should get away with assault.

A baffling, infuriating trend has cropped up in reviews of The Hunger Games: critics bodysnarking on Jennifer Lawrence. “A few years ago Ms. Lawrence might have looked hungry enough to play Katniss,” writes the New York Times’ Manohla Dargis, “but now, at 21, her seductive, womanly figure makes a bad fit for a dystopian fantasy about a people starved into submission.” The Hollywood Reporter’s Todd McCarthy comments that Lawrence’s “lingering baby fat shows here.” And—most bluntly—Hollywood Elsewhere’s Jeffrey Wells calls Lawrence a “fairly tall, big-boned lady” who’s “too big” for Josh Hutcherson, who plays Katniss’s romantic interest. (In case the message didn’t come through: Wells thinks Jennifer Lawrence is BIG. He also thinks we should be wary of “certain female critics” who “may be susceptible to the lore of this young-female-adult-propelled franchise.”)



Let us count the ways this line of reasoning is ridiculous. First, Jennifer Lawrence is a thin young woman. Her body type may differ ever so slightly from the Hollywood norm—her thighs appear functional rather than merely decorative—but she’s still leaner than the vast majority of the American population. The hullaballoo over Lawrence’s figure reminds me of the rash of articles a few years back that could not get over the curviness of Scarlett Johansson (another thin actress). The fact that a woman’s shape deviates slightly from the stick-thin figures that populate the silver screen does not make her “big.”

Second—to respond to those whose argument is that Lawrence doesn’t look authentically “hungry” enough for the role (rather than those, like Wells, whose argument is purely aesthetic)—not everyone who starves him- or herself looks like a supermodel. If that were the case, everyone on a calorie-restricted diet would be skinny; genetics prevent most humans from achieving that look. Just as living in a world with abundant calories does not automatically make everyone fat, living in a dystopian world like Panem with sporadic food access would not automatically make everyone skinny. Some bodies, I daresay, would be even bigger than Lawrence’s.

Finally, if critics are going to pick on a 21-year-old woman for not being skinny enough for a fantasy film, why haven’t they been more consistent in their critiques of actors’ bodies? I haven’t seen much concern about Liam Hemsworth’s muscular frame, even though his character in The Hunger Games occupies the same food-strapped world as Katniss. Nor—to take an example from another recent film—did I see many reviews of Friends With Kids that took issue with the disconnect between Jennifer Westfeldt’s slim physique and her character’s constantly commented upon postpartem unfuckability. If we held actors’ physical appearance to a standard of strict realism in all movies, most Hollywood actors would be uncastable in films set in present-day America. Movie critics suspend their disbelief all the time—and when they suddenly refuse to do so for a female actor whose body looks more like an average woman’s body rather than less, it’s hard to see that as anything but sexist.

Oh, I see, Jennifer looks like a normal human being so therefore she's too fat...oh okay. I do agree that Jennifer is taller than I imagined Katniss being, considering she was supposed to be one of the smallest in the games, but she was supposed to be strong for her size, not a waif.

Snoop Dogg and Brandy, Ray J



This one seemed very odd considering they come two very different worlds for first cousins. But Snoop Dogg said it himself in this interview with MTV. He explained why he kept the info on the low, saying that ”We never really told the world because we weren’t trippin’ off of that, but that’s my family.”




Martin Lawrence and Christopher Martin



They were in House Party together back in 1990 when Christopher Martin of Kid n Play was hot stuff and Martin Lawrence had not yet hit it big. Was cousin Chris responsible for getting Lawrence one of his breaks in movies? All we know is that these days, the roles are certainly reversed.



Al Roker and Lenny Kravitz

This came from the horse’s mouth. Al Roker revealed on the Today show that he and Lenny Kravitz were actually third cousins (their grandfathers were cousins).




Christopher Williams and Al B. Sure


These two held down the pretty boy era of 80s R&B, and are still in the entertainment industry, albeit on a much more low-key level. Al B. Sure is hosting a radio show and Christopher Williams is acting in stage plays.




Cherrelle and Pebbles


Cherrelle had a lot of great singles in the 1980s, including Didn’t Mean to Turn You On,” but it’s her younger cousin Pebbles who is much more of a popular name amongst the younger generations. The two worked together when Cherrelle sang on Pebbles’ hit song “Always.”




K-Ci, Jo-Jo and Fantasia


K-Ci & JoJo of Jodeci and Fantasia are first cousins who hail from North Carolina. It’s kinda ironic that Fantasia rose to fame via American Idol when she had access to superstar relatives and their connections.




Stacey Dash and Damon Dash


It’s all in the Dash name for these first cousins who grew up in the Bronx together.




Bill Bellamy and Shaq


Now this is a surprising one. Although Bellamy has confirmed that he’s in fact Shaquille’s cousin, he never mentioned how distant or close they are in terms of cousinship. We’re guessing they’re second or third cousins.




Dionne Warwick and Whitney Houston


This couple marks the most famous of cousins in the industry. Sadly, Warwick has been coping with the death of her cousin in recent weeks. They are first cousins whose mothers were sisters and who sang in the gospel singing group the Drinkard Singers.




Pete Rock and Heavy D


Uber producer and DJ Pete Rock was the late Heavy D’s younger cousin. Shortly after his death, Pete Rock explained just how instrumental his cousin was to his career. Heavy D’s brother Floyd is the one who taught him how to scratch, putting him on the path to becoming the youngest DJ in New York when he was hired at WBLS at the age of 15. The New York natives remained close as they both rose up the ranks, and Pete Rock worked on a couple of D’s albums.




Marques Houston and J-Boog from B2k


Marques Houston definitely hooked up his cousin J-Boog (real name Jarell Damonte Houston) with a plum job as part of the successful teen group B2K, who hit it big in the early 2000s. The elder cousin is busy with random projects as always and 26-year-old J-Boog is busy being a dad to his three children.

Madonna’s steamy new video for “Girl Gone Wild” has been banned from open view on YouTube for being too raunchy, with scenes including nudity and a close-up of a man’s PVC-clad crotch.

YouTube chiefs have restricted the video for those 18 years or above, and sources tell us they’ve told the superstar’s management that if they want it to be available for viewing by all, they must edit out shots of bare bottoms, a man rubbing his crotch and an implied masturbation scene where a man gyrates before a mirror.

Madonna’s team was working yesterday on an edited version of the video for YouTube because, for the first time, it’s based its marketing strategy for her new album, “MDNA,” on social media, including a live Facebook interview with Jimmy Fallon today.

A source told us, “YouTube has decided the video is too raunchy and should only be viewed by those 18 or over, and actually, the video is hard to find on the site. YouTube has sent Madonna’s team a list of shots that should be cut to make it appropriate for everyone.”

Fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott directed “Girl Gone Wild,” using much of the singer’s trademark erotic imagery, including topless men dancing in black tights (mantyhose) and platform heels.

YouTube also took exception to an S&M-inspired scene of a silhouette in chains.

The video was deemed “inappropriate for some users” by YouTube, and viewers must verify they’re 18 or older and log in to watch it.

A rep for YouTube told us, “While we don’t comment on individual videos, we review all videos flagged by our users against our community guidelines. In some cases we agerestrict flagged material that, while not in violation of those guidelines, contains images that may be unsuitable for younger users.”

Madonna’s rep, Liz Rosenberg, told us, “Some things never change. This is a throwback to [1990] when MTV refused to show ‘Justify My Love.’ ”

The mania that was Susan Boyle has passed -- but get ready for the next shy, introverted but extremely talented singer from "Britain's Got Talent" ... and his name isJonathan Antoine. 

Jonathan and his singing partner Charlotte Jaconelli blew the judges' pants off on last night's show, performing a sort of opera/pop duet together. 

Simon Cowell in particular went from skeptical to giant fan in a matter of minutes, though he said he felt Jonathan (who was trembling after his performance) was clearly the stronger of the two singers.

RIP SuBo ... long live SuBoy!!!

The Wanted take their US tour to New York as they celebrate Glad You Came going platinum


One Direction have taken America by storm, becoming the first UK band to top the charts with their debut record this week.
And wherever they go it seems rival British boyband The Wanted are following closely behind.

The boys left the fun and frolics behind them in Las Vegas and took their tour to New York with an intimate show on Friday night, just a couple of weeks after the One Direction boys were in the city.

The Wanted jetted into the Big Apple straight from their raucous time during Spring Break in Nevada.
And they set about getting straight to work as they performed for a crowd at the iHeartRadio Theater, exclusively for Z-100 listeners.

But while One Direction were celebrating their triumph in the US charts, The Wanted were still being awarded themselves.

The five-piece received an award at the venue for the one millionth sale of their single Glad You Came.








Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes all posed with presenter Dougie Meyer as they held up the award to mark them going platinum.

Dressed in a range of casual attire ranging from jeans to T-shirts and checked shirts, the five-piece band then took to the stage to entertain the crowds at the private gig.

One million records: The boys were handed an award to celebrate their single Glad You Came going platinum in America
And they were clearly pleased with their reception as they walked out of the venue with large grins on their faces.
As they were greeted by fans outside, the boys made their getaway after the successful show.

And they tweeted afterwards: 'Heres to you #GladYouCamePlatinum #forthefans love you all x

'What an incredibly special evening. Truly incredible. So thankful for our #TWFanmiIy and everyone who has supported us. #GLADYOUCAME.'
Giving it their all: The boys have been promoting themselves in America at the same time as fellow British boyband One Direction

It appears they're having the times of their lives as they battle to promote themselves Stateside after flying into NYC straight from Sin City.



They certainly had an eventful time in Las Vegas, partying with bikini-clad girls for Spring Break and seeing their single Glad You Came climb to number three on the Billboard singles chart.



The boyband were seen looking in very good spirits as they hugged their female fans at the airport as they left the city before making their way on to the aeroplane.

"Project X" star Thomas Mann is in final negotiations to star in "King Dork," a co-production between Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Gary Sanchez Prods. banner and NALA Films.

Matt Piedmont ("Casa de Mi Padre") will direct from a script by D.V. DeVincentis, who adapted Frank Portman's 2006 novel.

Story follows best friends Tom and Sam, two outsiders who bond over their shared love of classic rock and roll, which helps them cope with the agony of getting through high school in 1987.

Mann is in talks to play Tom, while his "It's Kind of a Funny Story" co-star Keir Gilchrist is being eyed for the role of Sam. "Parks and Recreation" star Nick Offerman, who appears in Piedmont's "Padre," is circling the role of Tom's stepdad.


Ferrell and McKay will produce with fellow Gary Sanchez execs Kevin Messick and Chris Henchy, while NALA's Emilio Diez Barroso and Darlene Caamano Loquet will also produce. NALA is financing the pic, which starts production in June.

"King Dork" was the first project Gary Sanchez bought when the company launched in 2006. It previously bounced from Paramount Vantage to Sony, which put the project in turnaround.

With the low-budget teen party pic "Project X" grossing $50 million stateside, Mann's career has as much heat as any young actor in Hollywood [praise Jebus]. Thesp, who co-stars in a pair of upcoming Paramount pics -- "Fun Size" and "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" -- just landed one of the lead roles in Alcon Entertainment's adaptation of the popular young adult novel "Beautiful Creatures." He'll next be seen alongside Claire Danes and James Marsden in the indie "As Cool as I Am."

The Rock came into the sport of professional wrestling with a great pedigree. While the fans weren't a fan of his from the start, he slowly transformed himself from the smiley and athletic superstar known as Rocky Maivia into the man we all know today as the Rock.

He has headlined WrestleMania three times against Stone Cold Steve Austin in what was one of the greatest rivalries in wrestling history and has taken part in one of the most memorable matches with Hollywood Hulk Hogan. His WrestleMania 28 match with John Cena is set to be another classic in a long line of classic WrestleMania showdowns.

With a 4-4 record at WrestleMania, who has Rock been most successful against and who has he been defeated by?

WrestleMania 13: vs. The Sultan for WWF(E) Intercontinental Championship

During his first appearance at WrestleMania, Rocky Maivia defeated the Sultan to earn his first victory at the event and retain the title at the same time.

WrestleMania 14: vs. Ken Shamrock for WWF(E) Intercontinental Championship

For his second straight WrestleMania, Rock came into the event as the Intercontinental champion and for the second year in a row, walked out at as the champion.

WrestleMania 15: vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin for WWF(E) Championship

The biggest advantage Rock had at this time was the Corporation. As one of the stipulations for the match, the Corporation was barred from ringside, which seemed strange considering this was a no disqualification match. With no outside help for Rock, Austin was able to get the victory.

WrestleMania 16: Fatal-4-Way for WWF(E) Championship

Triple H was the world champion heading into this elimination match, which also featured Rock, Mick Foley and Big Show. This match saw each wrestler accompanied by a member of the McMahon family and it finished with Rock's escort, Vince McMahon, turning on him, allowing Triple H to get the win.

WrestleMania 17: vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin for WWF(E) Championship

Rock walked into WrestleMania with the world title, but after more than 33 minutes of a no disqualification action, Austin walked out with the title. It was the second time in three years that Rock walked into the event with the world title, only to drop it to Austin.

WrestleMania 18: vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan

This match pitted the most popular wrestler of the eighties battle one of the most popular wrestler of the nineties and 2000s, with Rock walking away with his third WrestleMania win.

WrestleMania 19: vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

With a 0-2 record against the Rattlesnake at WrestleMania, Rock finally earned a victory. Unfortunately for the Great One, he didn't walk away from the event with the WWE Championship like Austin did at their previous two meetings.

WrestleMania 20: Handicap Match with Mick Foley vs. Evolution

This handicap match was the last time the WWE Universe saw the People's Champion wrestle on the grandest stage of them all. As the Rock 'n' Sock Connection, Rock and Foley faced verbal and physical assaults from Evolution heading into the event. Ric Flair, Batista and Randy Orton defeated Rock and Foley, dropping Rock's record to 4-4.

For World Wrestling Entertainment, it is almost as much about getting the attention of the general public as it is keeping the hardcore fans happy with in-ring action. In recent years, this has led to the various celebrities appearing on various WWE programming in different capacities. Each year at WrestleMania, WWE brings out as many celebrities as possible and some of them have even wrestled. Which celebrities have appeared at each WrestleMania ?

WrestleMania 28 Card: Updated Lineup for WWE's Big Pay-Per-View

WrestleMania 28 is fast approaching and while some matches are speculated to happen, most have already been made. For the sake of consistency, the matches mentioned in this article will be those that have been verified on the WWE page.

Here is an overview of the matches that are going to occur on April 1.

Randy Orton vs. Kane

This is a standard match that has been building up for a few weeks. The match has been buried because of how stacked this year's WrestleMania is, along with the fact that Orton never seems to lose his bouts. It doesn't matter that Kane is a monster heel, Orton should get the win.

Between the buildup and the finish, expect to see two excellent wrestlers put on a great show and warm fans up for the main event.

Maria Menounos & Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres

If the bout is given more than a few minutes, it will either be caused by Menounos's star power or the talent of Beth Phoenix. There should be more to say about the match, but knowing the WWE, there isn't much to talk about leading up to the event and there won't be much after.

Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show for the Intercontinental Title

This is one of the better matches fans might see come WrestleMania, depending on how it plays out. Rhodes has been humiliating Show for weeks, presenting fans with videos of Show's most embarrassing moments at the event. WrestleMania should be Rhodes' comeuppance, but how much of it will play out as fair or farce is yet to be determined. Hopefully, Rhodes will get a chance to shine, even in defeat.


Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Title

These men should be getting a lot more recognition and attention than they are. Both men are crowd-pleasers and can spin a great match.

It is a shame that no one is paying attention to it. Sheamus and Bryan have worked hard and earned a bit of the spotlight that seems to have been unfairly taken from them. Their match could steal the show if the major players decide to phone it in.

Team Teddy vs. Team Johnny

This match is still up in the air, only because one-half of each team has been made as of right now. It's obvious that the WWE is trying to make Team Teddy appear as underdogs, because Santino Marella is the captain and R-Truth and Kofi Kingston are his team members.

In contrast, Team Johnny has David Otunga, Mark Henry and Christian. Only time will tell if the WWE is trying to swerve the fans or if it will play out in favor of the bigger men.

The Undertaker vs. Triple H in a Hell in a Cell Match

Shawn Michaels may be appearing in this match, but it is focused on the two men who will be inside the ring as well as a cage.

This is one of the major matches at WrestleMania and it could well mark the end of the Attitude Era and the former generation of wrestlers. If nothing else, that makes this a match worth buying. Then again, all the men involved are incredible performers who know how to put on a show.

CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho for the WWE Title

Both men are already making this a great part of WrestleMania. Then, they ramped it up with Chris Jericho bringing up Punk's father. It was a gut-wrenching moment when it first came up and Punk sold it well. As great as they have both been with each other during promos, it will only get better when they have a match.

John Cena vs. The Rock

Cena vs. Rock is the main event of WrestleMania and the bout that most are paying to see. It might not be a great match—in fact, it will probably let a lot of fans down. As far as characters go, however, it has a great amount of hype.

As long as there isn't a backlash from the fans after it is done, it will have done its job and made the WWE a lot of money.

There are still tweaks to be made for the card, but overall it looks like it is going to provide the WWE with a lot of revenue and fans with a lot of enjoyable moments.

Sharon Osbourne: 'I think of The Queen when having sex with Ozzy'

Sharon Osbourne has revealed that "she lies back and thinks of The Queen" when having sex with her husband, Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne.

If you haven't wretched at the thought of that lovely image, then Sharon goes on to explain the couple's sexual relationship. Word of warning, those with a nervous disposition, please look away now.

Sharon Osbourne told The Sun all about her and Ozzy's bedroom secrets and revealed that they fit their time in the sack around their favourite television programmes.

She said: "We have sex at a particular time. Ozzy loves David Letterman. We lie in bed and watch it and he says, 'Oh we've got time before Letterman's monolouge'."

The former X-Factor judge then added that she "lies back and thinks of The Queen", when Ozzy is working his magic between the sheets. Poor Ozzy, you might think. Especially since it's in stark contrast to how he once described sex with Sharon.

The Black Sabbath singer admitted that he could "pump away on top of Sharon like a road drill all night" because he used to neck four Viagra tablets.

Last month it was announced Black Sabbath have re-worked their summer reunion gigs. The reformed group will still headline Download festival on June 10, but have replaced many of their previously announced European festival dates with Ozzy & Friends gigs.

The Morning Benders Change Their Name To 'POP ETC'

Fans of the indie rock band The Morning Benders freaked out as they read, "This will be the last post from The Morning Benders. Thank you all very much" (via FACEBOOK). Many assumed the band just announced a break-up, but an hour later a new announcement was made: "The Morning Benders are now POP ETC." 

So why did The Morning Benders change their name? 


When we started this band in 2005 we had no expectations. From an early age I had a deep love for music and its power to bring people together, but the truth is, in 2005 I had just finished writing my first songs and all I wanted to do was start a band as soon as possible. That same year I had moved to Berkeley to attend college, and of the first 5 people I met, 1 of them happened to be a drummer, and 1 happened to be a guitarist. It was kismet; we started a band. It wasn't long before we got offered our first show on Lower Sproul (Berkeley's school quad). Now all we needed was a band name. We came up with two options: "The Beatles 2" and "The Morning Benders." We went with The Morning Benders.

Fast forward to 2010, many a dive bar, school quad, house party, county fair, pizza parlor later. We had just released Big Echo, and for the first time we were preparing for a world tour. We had toured a fair amount leading up to Big Echo, but never overseas, so when it came time to tour the UK and Europe we were quite excited. The touring went well, and we had an amazing time, but also something happened that we hadn't anticipated. As soon as we had landed in London people started asking us about our band name. "What does 'Bender' mean to you?" people would ask. "Are you seriously called 'The Morning Benders' ?" was a common question. For those of you reading from America, you may still be confused. Well, it turns out that the word 'bender' in the UK and many parts of Europe is a slang term for 'homosexual.' We were told our band name was the equivalent of 'The Morning Fags' in America. We had been called The Morning Benders for 5 years, and we were just finding this out now? It was shocking. And quite sad, to say the least. We had spent those years touring night and day, championing our name everywhere we could, only to find out that the name had an alternate meaning- one that made us look hateful, or at best, ignorant.

At the time we didn't really have many options; we had already booked several tours as The Morning Benders and had just released our new album. We couldn't very well change the name right then and there. We had unwittingly gotten ourselves into a problem with no immediate solution, it was extremely disappointing. But that's all said and done. Now it's 2012. We are at the tail end of making our third album, and we have been given the opportunity to change our band name. We've decided to seize that opportunity, and here's why--

1. We simply cannot go on using a name that is demeaning to the gay community. The reason we are making music is to reach and unite as many different kinds of people as possible, and the idea that our name may be hateful towards anyone makes us sick.

2. In the UK and many parts of Europe the name has simply become too distracting. The MUSIC has always been our number one  focus, and we want to present that to people in as pure a way as possible 

I know that many people around the world have grown to love the name "The Morning Benders," and understandably have memories and experiences associated with it. Obviously we can understand this, we've lived and breathed this band for 7 years. However, for those of you that know and follow us, you also know that we are committed to change. We've always promised our fans that we will never settle into a place that feels safe and easy, because that leads to boring art. It is true that we didn't anticipate this specific twist in the road when we set out on this musical journey, but we still like to think of this as merely a further embodiment of our commitment to change. We believe that it will only lead to new growth and excitement.

Thank you for your attention, your love, and your support.

From henceforth we shall be known as



Much love and respect,

If, like us, you prefer to mute the continuity announcer as he blathers all over the end credits, you may have missed this, but BBC Three announced at the close of series four’s eighth episode that there will be a fifth series of Being Human. Wahoo!

There’s not much else to say at the moment (especially since saying anything more risks spoilering those who have yet to see the finale), but the official blog has posted something intriguing…

It’s a final piece of the written-on-human-skin scroll which contained the prophecy of the War Child, bearing the words “HE WILL RISE”. Click on the link and take a look – they’re lovely folk, and they deserve the hits!

Who could “he” be? Let the speculation commence!
