REMEMBER ME PREMIERE

2010-03-03T04:40:35Z

The many iches of snow piled up on nyc sidewalks could not keep RPatz fans away last night (March 1) at the red-carpet premiere for his romantic drama, "Remember Me." The screaming masses lined up early. Fans went crazy for Robert Pattinson but when Kristen Stewart showed up in support of her man, the masses of fans went crazy. MTV news reported that “inside the makeshift press tent at the Paris Theatre in midtown, the energy was no less wild, the screams of folks waiting to talk with Pattinson no less ear-piercing. But the 23-year-old superstar, tired yet amused as ever by the pandemonium, seemed to take it all in stride”. While MTV News was chatting with his co-star Emilie de Ravin, Pattinson leaned over and shouted, "Emilie! Emilie! What's the most fascinating thing about me? Just say it!" The film is a drama centered on two lovers whose newfound relationship is threatened as they try to cope with their respective family tragedies the cast includes Robert Pattison, Emilie De Ravin, Chris Cooper and Pierce Bronson to name a few. This movie represents a evolution for Pattinson as an actor. "It means growth," Cooper said of his co-star's part. "Robert had a big hand as an executive producer in this film. That tells me he's going to branch out into fields other than acting. He's got a lot to deal with already, but he's been able to handle it beautifully." As the screaming from admiring fans increased as Pattinson went to greet his loyal followers, Brosnan could only stand back and watch with pride. "This is his night," he said. "I think this particular piece of drama for him is very significant as a young actor who's come on the stage in a blinding glare of light and fame. He's an executive producer on this film, so he's committed himself to finding good work." The flick hits theaters nation wide on March 12th 2010 but if you can’t wait that long check out the official website for Remember Me

NEW MUSIC TUESDAY: GROOVE ARMADA

2010-03-02T18:21:31Z

Groove Armada are back with a new sound. The new album, "Black Light" is a collision of alt and electronic genres featuring vocalist Bryan Ferry from Roxy Music, Empire of the Sun, UK pop star Will Young, and introducing Saint Savior. Groove Armada were formed in England in 1996 by Andy Cato and Tom Findlay. Their earlier work is laid back chill-out although they have incorporated a lot of musical styles over their career including rap and reggae and have worked with a range of collaborators including Jeru the Damaja, Fatboy Slim and Neneh Cherry. The bands debut album, Northern Star, released in 1998 gained the band critical praise but it was the follow up, Vertigo, which gained the band commercial success and widespread recognition. Subsequent albums were more dancefloor friendly although their music has gone beyond the clubs and livingrooms to be used in adverts for a range of products including cars, computer games and shops. In addition to their own work they pair have also worked as producers and are currently working on the forthcoming Kylie Minogue album. Get ready to hear Groove Armada like never before.

Giorgio Armani dressed Lady Gaga for the Grammy Awards earlier in the month, and now the designer and musical artist have teamed up again, announcing that they will collaborate for her current world tour.

She said: "I am honored to be wearing Armani this evening. The series of pieces Mr. Armani created for me are truly iconic; they represent not only beautiful fashion, but my spirit and essence as an artist. Mr. Armani is a fashion legend, and tonight would not have been the same without his touch, and his wonderful team." Mr. Armani has created several looks for Lady Gaga’s that kicked off last week in the UK and will continue on to Australia and Europe. She dazzled at London's O2 arena on Friday night and is at Glasgow, Cardiff, Newcastle and Birmingham this week. The looks stay true to the 'Poker Face' singer's eccentric style, and key looks include a curved-shouldered, sparkly structured body suit, a segmented sparking body suit with a lobster effect on one sleeve, a geometric mini dress with a mirror effect and a floor-length black patent trench. Gaga will pair each look with specially made Armani shoes and sunglasses. Mr. Armani commented on the collaboration, explaining, “We hear Lady Gaga’s music everywhere we go; it is like a soundtrack of our times. In addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a modern fashion phenomenon.”
