Singer Kylie Minogue wants fans to “move on” from the idea that she is “unlucky” in love. The 55-year-old pop superstar has never tied the knot and called off her relationship with Paul Solomons in February after five years of dating and while she would like fans to forget about her love life, has acquiesced that there is a need for “gossip” amongst them.
“There’s a level of acceptance that that’s the way it is, and I think mostly it’s driven by, we all love a bit of gossip. It’s kind of like, what would’ve happened over the fence forever ago.” “But it would be great to move on from the ‘she’s lucky in love, she’s unlucky in love’, because it’s just not that simple,” she told Vogue Australia, reports aceshowbiz.com.

In January 1994, Nirvana graced the cover of Rolling Stone in matching pinstripe suits. 28 years later, boygenius — Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus — are bringing it to a new generation.
The new cover features the indie supergroup posing as each member: Baker is drummer Dave Grohl, Bridgers is Kurt Cobain, and Dacus is bassist Krist Novoselic. The original 1994 image was shot by Mark Seliger, while this time boygenius was photographed by Ryan Pfluger.

Alanis Morissette's "Ironic," one of the most memorable music videos of the '90s, debuted 20 years ago today. The artist herself announced its anniversary on her Facebook.

The MTV Video Music Awards are set to thrill you with Lady Gaga‘s live madness, Kanye West‘s rage, and Miley Cyrus‘ freaky antics on August 25, but let’s not forget that this celebrated award show has a long and kickass history of honoring gay and gay-ish music videos. Here are the 11 awards that still hold up as gay totems.
11. Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ “Give It Away,” Best Breakthrough Video
Maybe Rhcp‘s video for “Give It Away” is best known for its silver-coated textures and editing tricks, but never forget that director Stephane Sednaoui included a couple of gay treats for the Lgbt demo: Note that furtive kiss between Anthony Kiedis and Flea (pictured above), and don’t forget that between-the-legs shot of Kiedis grabbing his thong-clad junk. Those may be silly stunts, but this video is a pretty awesome exhibition of the mania and fun of rock’s homoeroticism-friendliest group.

Bjork, Iceland's most powerful export since the Vikings, turns 47 today, which warrants a comprehensive celebration of her work... and a naughty sugarcube binge. I'm coasting on the sugar high of Bjork's ebullience as we speak. Here are my picks for her five greatest moments ever.
5. Dancer in the Dark
Most remember Bjork's Oscar nomination in songwriting not for its merit, but for the dress she chose to wear at the ceremony. (See #4.) But Lars von Trier's Dancer in the Dark is a one-of-a-kind viewing whether you loved or hated it, and most of the film's perks relate directly to Bjork: her tender performance, her musicality, her bleak descent, and the phenomenal song "I've Seen It All," the cornerstone of the album's soundtrack, Selmasongs. She may have only starred in one movie, but it garnered her Cannes' Best Actress award, so the experiment paid off.
4. The swan dress

So, get this: I have reverence for the MTV Music Video Awards. If you check their history of winners (and ignore some key, depressing anomalies), they routinely honor the correct people. Since this year's ceremony on September 6 is just a couple of weeks away, we're celebrating with a new celebration of the VMAs' past: a list of the best 10 winners of the coveted "Best Female Video" trophy. For a refresher course in the history of the category, check this out. For a definitive list of the best lady videos' of the past 30 years, check below.
10. Cyndi Lauper, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"
She's so unusual, indeed -- Cyndi Lauper whipped her block into a swishy, she-bopping frenzy in "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," and while her punky chutzpah certainly warranted MTV award credibility, she deserved every award for out-snarling Elvis and offering killer pipes, to boot.

Chris EvansThe Advocate: Why are you a photographer?Roger Erickson: As a child I had a talent for drawing. I was really into graphic novels and comic book art. My father was an avid "shutterbug" while [I was] growing up. As children we always shot pictures, and my father was into the latest video and tech gadgets of the time. When I got into high school, I progressed from drawing to photography as an additional creative outlet, which later turned into a profession.What catches your eye?Moments so unique (coupled with the orchestration of light and mood) that they can't help but offer up an intimate glimpse into the nature of an individuals personality. How do you choose your subjects?I generally don't get to choose my subjects. They choose me. I find that each individual has their own unique take on life, and my task is to bring it out in the photograph.

Big idea: Creating next-generation broadband networks -- featuring speeds up to 100 times today's standard -- to spur the coming wave of online innovation. "Being a catalyst is an ambitious goal for us," says Minnie Ingersoll, 33, about Google Fiber for Communities. "Pursuing high-speed networks that are open for third parties to offer retail service will lead to new business models. There will be new deployment techniques. Our guys are excited to dig up streets and experiment. And there will be new apps and services." Cities such as Hampton, Virginia; Greenville, South Carolina; and prototypical everytown Peoria, Illinois, have already publicly stated they're competing to be picked as test sites. "The response so far has been exciting," she says. "Even cities that have broadband are interested."
Growing up geek: "I grew up in Pasadena, basically on the Caltech campus where my dad's a professor.

"Pursuing high-speed networks that are open for third parties to offer retail service will lead to new business models. There will be new deployment techniques. Our guys are excited to dig up streets and experiment. And there will be new apps and services." Cities such as Hampton, Virginia; Greenville, South Carolina; and prototypical everytown Peoria, Illinois, have already publicly stated they're competing to be picked as test sites. "The response so far has been exciting," she says. "Even cities that have broadband are interested."
Growing up geek: "I grew up in Pasadena, basically on the Caltech campus where my dad's a professor.

Okay, that headline isn’t entirely accurate. Sure paints an amusing picture though, doesn’t it? The actual news is that George Clooney has been keeping very busy at the 2009 Cannes International Film Festival. Variety brings word that two Cloonster projects have been picked up by two different studios.
In “A Very Private Gentleman,” adapted from the Martin Booth novel, Clooney will play an assassin who settles into a backcountry town in Italy as he prepares for his next assignment. The normally “Private” man’s exterior crumbles as small-town relationships take hold. Universal’s art house division Focus Features picked up the film, with Anton Corbijn in place to direct.
For those who are unfamiliar, Corbijn has done a ton of work as a music video director. He gave us videos for Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box” and U2’s “One.” Palm Pictures released a Corbijn collection on DVD as part...

PARIS -- The nominees won't be announced until Jan. 25, but "the Academy" (read: official Gallic film organization L'Academie des Arts et Techniques du Cinema) has already planned a series of events leading up to February's Cesar Awards ceremony.
Organizers of France's most prestigious annual awards ceremony stunned the nation when they announced that the ceremony had been moved from its traditional Saturday night slot to Friday, Feb. 22.
While nominees in the other categories are still a mystery, the academy has already selected its Most Promising young talents, with 16 actors and 16 actresses awaiting the verdict when voting members narrow the field down to just five in each category.
All of those talent pre-selected, however, will see their portraits featured in a special photo expo by Stephane Sednaoui. The expo will be open to the public as of January in partnership with Chaumet.
The academy is also planning a series of masterclasses for both industry professionals and the public during the upcoming Salon du Cinema set to kick off Jan.

- The Resfest has come and gone, but the memories will last forever. Okay, enough with the sentimental crap, - it's always an enjoyable evening when a director opens up their treasure trove of ideas for people like me - people who like to watch. Stephane Sednaoui was the first to chat it up, he began with his start in photography and ended it all with his last short film. "When I met the Red Hot Chilli Peppers I wore a dress that I picked up from India. I think this is what got me the gig." Playing above is "Give it Away" Here's a pic of Michel Gondry. Waiting impatiently to hear what inspires inspiring artists such as himself is me off the stage and three rows back. Gondry likes to work with artists on long-term relationships. Bjork's "Army of Me" plays above. The evening ended with both video directors on stage.
