ALL ABOUT TREKSTOCK

Trekstock is a charity that supports young people affected by cancer. If you remember, a while back a competition was held by Trekstock where the ultimate prize was a dinner with Liam and Harry from 1D. Seems like a great prize if you ask me...

Here are the winners (who were lucky enough to be flown from California and ended up sitting in a fancy little place in London.

And here's what they had to say about the experience.

"Both of the boys were completely down to earth and so so nice. They really made us feel totally at easy and we felt like we were just hanging out with friends rather than two members of a major band. We're so lucky that we get to spread the word about things we care about. It's great to do that about Trekstock."

Yep, I wouldn't expect anything less from them. After all, they did this for charity, and not just any charity but one that really engages in helping and supporting youth everywhere.

TAYLOR SWIFT HITS THE BIG SCREEN

After her award winning performance in Valentines day, it was only a matter of time until Taylor went down the acting path again..

Watch the trailer below and see if you can spot Swifty...it might take you a few times. First and foremost she's not blonde in this one!



If you missed her, this is the small preview we got. She's doing her famous "side eye" thing. She got less than a second in the trailer and the producers chose her most famous expression...amazing. It kind of looks like she's judging everyone but she's not even trying to be subtle about it.

The film also stars Meryl Streep and Katie Holmes...a definite must see.



BOYBANDS UNITE

Guys, nothing makes me happier than seeing bands who get along. 

We'll start off with the whole McFly and Niall thing...mind you, this is not the first time McFly has worked with him. But still, it still gets me excited for the new album.


Niall was also hanging out with baby Buzz earlier this week...shame we didn't get an instagram picture of the two! 

The twitter banter between Horan and the boys of Mcfly proved that new music IS on the way, and I'm reaaaaaaally happy about it. 

SECONDLY, a few weeks back Louis and Liam mysteriously jetted off to LA. It turns out they were actually there for a reason - to team up with the boys from Good Charlotte. 


Benji and Joel have apparently been helping the boys for the 4th album. This work in progress was all over twitter as well. There is enough proof to definitely say that they are working on new material. 

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL.


Ahhhhhh...just got this of Fall Out Boy's insta...with the caption "london hangs"

Also, is it just me or is that the guy from the 1975? I'm not entirely sure but I did think it was Harry at first glance.

Now there is no actual proof to say that they were hanging out AND writing music but I think it's a damn good possibility. So what does this mean? It means that in the next year we are going to be hearing some very different and very rocky new music. I actually can't contain my excitement as I'm writing this...ahhhhhhhhhhhh...and the waiting game begins..

Harry's new bachelor pad...

I've heard through the grapevine that Styles has just splashed out on a new place....worth 2.6 million pounds to be exact.

Although, 2.6 million doesn't sound like that much when you're worth 20 million alone, and 100 million with your friends standing next to you.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he is just a little fond of Cali, little did anyone know he was spending time there house hunting, (in between going to all of those concerts and such).

"Harry's only told a few people and not many people know the exact location of the pad, but it is fairly spectacular, with an outdoor pool, home entertainment room and gym."

Outdoor pool? Outrageous. I would be more impressed if it was an indoor pool.


So, does this mean he's going to be going around for a BBQ at Bruce Jenner's place? I assume they live somewhere near each other with a golf course separating them..

And what happened to Harry's place in London which is apparently "unlivable" because of renovations...is he still sleeping on couches when he's in the UK? I'm sure Grimmy is more than happy to accommodate his flat for his lanky friend anyway..

Demi - twitter activist


My thoughts on Demi change more than Demi herself changes her hair color. Sometimes, you can't help but love her...but then there are other times where you just kind of want to pat her on the head and tell her to calm down. This is one of those times.

It's no secret that Demi has been open in the past few years about the struggles of addiction, eating disorders, bullying, and lots of other issues that MAJORLY affect so many people all over the world. So, naturally, I don't know why I was surprised that she tweeted her feelings about Lady Gaga's puking stunt.
The thing is, I don't really know whether to agree with her or take Gaga's side. I'm not a big fan of Gaga but I know by now that the things she does on stage and the stunts she pulls aren't really to be taken seriously. Having said this, I understand the angle in which Demi is looking at this, I'm just not sure if it's the right one. Considering Gaga has battled an eating disorder in the past, it's unlikely she was trying to glorify it in any way, and more likely she was trying to educate her audience (who clearly understand her better) and express herself in...well, the way Lady Gaga does. It is more about an artistic and creative vision than a statement or a performance, and yes, perhaps this could be damaging, but telling someone to "not do" what they love to do, isn't the way forward either. The term "art" and "artistic vision" seem to be how artists all over the world structure and vision their performance, and as the audience, I think people either understand it and take to it, or they just don't. An activist to me is someone who stands up for what they believe in, but all I see is Demi sharing the fact that she's being offended by something that wasn't meant to be offensive in the first place. 
Statistically in the entertainment industry, artists have slowly started to open up more and more to develop audience relationships. I feel as though 2014 is the start of some jaw dropping performances...and if you are a little sensitive, maybe its best to just sit this one out.

Ke$ha is no more!

After emerging from being in rehab for 2 months, Kesha has changed her name, and by this, I mean dropping the dollar sign, which was always a pain to include anyway.

Kesha spent time in rehab to help treat her bulimia and anorexia issues. Thankfully, she took to twitter to say that she is feeling healthy and happy, and very grateful for her fans support.

She is also apparently gearing up for a whole new era of music. I don't even want to think of the possibilities...

However, the most exciting part of this is definitely the fact that she dropped the dollar sign. The days of pressing shift + 4 are OVER.
