Kings Of Leon Remix Album, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams To Add Funk


Throughout my career as a music writer and critic, I've been wrong about plenty of things. I gave Missy Elliott's Under Construction a poor review (it ended up being one of the great albums of 2002). After hearing the title track from the not yetreleased American Idiot, I affirmed that Green Day would only sell 50,000 records and would apparently break up. And more currently, I didn't think that Kings of Leon would ever become as big (or as cool) as rock critics needed them to be. But the Tennessee quartet has proved me wrong, having taken their latest album Only by the Night to platinum status, headlined huge concerts and festivals and now getting an all star remix album together care of some of their high profile fans. The group told Billboard that the forthcoming anthology would feature remixes care of Justin Timberlake, Linkin Park, Pharrell Williams and Mark Ronson.
"It's neat to have these people who we would've jumped at the chance to work with ourselves ... coming to us before we even get a chance to ask them," drummer Nathan Followill said. "It's amazing to hear your song played by these people who are so creative."
It's not clear what the remixes would sound like or even which tunes will be getting a re-jiggering, but there are a few team ups that would be ideal. Timberlake should lend a bit of harder edged disco to the sorta dance ready "Sex on Fire." Linkin Park could turn "Molly's Chambers" into one of their aggro stomps, while Pharrell should take "The Bucket" and slather a little bit of robot funk on it. But since Rihanna was currently spotted hanging with the band and attending a KOL show, somebody should give her a call and comfort her to do a straight cover of "Use Somebody." The band's gorgeous their first trip into the upper-echelons of the Billboard Hot 100 — could be reduced to little more than Rihanna's haunting voice, which could add layers of pathos to an already stunning track. And to return the favor, Kings of Leon should cover "Umbrella."

Justin Timberlake's Advantage Agreement, TLC To Reunite




TLC will reunite for the first time in six years for the "Justin Timberlake and Friends" annual advantage agreement on October 17 in Las Vegas, according to People.com.
The remaining members of the group, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas will perform without new third member, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who was killed in a car accident in 2002. Since her death, T-Boz and Chilli have performed as TLC only once, as part of a 2003 agreement for New York radio station Z-100, which was billed as their "final" live show.
The group later worked on a reality show called "R U the Girl?" that sought a third member of the group; while a winner was chosen (20-year-old Tiffany "O'so Krispie" Baker), the duo stressed that they were not looking to replace Left Eye but were inviting a singer to work with them on a one off basis, and no new material was released under the name TLC.
Timberlake's agreement, which advantage Shriners Hospital for Children, will also feature live gig by artists like Alicia Keys, Ciara and Taylor Swift. The agreement will take place alongside a weeklong golf tournament, the 2009 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, which will take place from October 12-18. Both the concert and golf tournament are a part of Timberlake's five-year partnership with Shriners.

While the men will be appreciating his amazing set of wheels, no doubt the girls will be appreciating Justin's fine figures accommodated out in his leathers.

Justin was footaged on the shiny bike complete with matching chrome helmet - leaving Cafe Med where he had eat for lunch.
But the photographers had to be quick to get a footage while the singer was waiting at traffic lights because as soon as the lights changed he zoomed off into the distance.

Only last month Clooney was spotted driveing around Italy on his bike with new female friend Elisabetta Canalis.
Pitt has a accumulation of bikes including a heavily customised chrome bike was unloaded at his LA home a fortnight ago.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE MAKE A PERFUME


The 'Sexy Back' singer Justin Timberlake, who has created a new fragrance called Justin Timberlake Play, was stunned by the work involved in making a scent
He said: "I like pretty fresh, clean scents. I don't like a barrage of smell, so I started talking with Givenchy about how do you achieve that fresh, clean scent? And they 'learned me' about citrus and wood flavours that you kind of add in to create that type of aroma. It's actually really fascinating how they do it."
Justin was created the fragrance who has a brilliant fragrance there was rarely and he has surprised when Givenchy approached him about launching his own scent.He added to ET Online: "The first conversation was hilarious, because I said, 'You know what? Actually, I don't really wear cologne that much.'

I think honestly, that i took it is a challange that i want to make something, then i think that can i creat the Perfume?

So i has created this fragrance i would really want to wear

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.
