Brad Pitt Rescues A Soaking Fan

...more Brad Pitt �

Brad Pitt became a hero yesterday at the Venice Film Festival after he saved a young winnow from falling into a lake.

The Fight Club star was blithely signing autographs for a group of young fans on a boat � but one overwhelmed teenager tripped and fell into the water.

Brad acted quickly and grabbed the shaver out of the water and out of harms way in front he then continued to sign his book.

He is at the Italian festival to advance new moving picture Burn After Reading.

The rescued youngster certainly won't forget why he is a Brad fan.

His story is to get the big screen treatment after Paramount Pictures snapped up the rights to his story, according to Variety magazine.
In response to the film news Cowell said: "This company got that it's another Billy Elliot, a story anyone in the world can understand."
Talking about Potts Britain's Got Talent story he said: "This was his last chance and he literally decided to enter based on the toss of a coin. And despite his success off the back of the show, the only difference I see in him is that he got his teeth fixed."

Album Review: Man Man, "Rabbit Habits" (Anti-)

With a barrage of instantly quirky instrumentations--involving squeaky toys, xylophones, pots, pans and sousaphones--Man Man [ tickets ] nonetheless make a serious point on their third album: to be theatrical, percussion-driven artists, gleefully teetering on a fine line between the indie-rock ruckus of Modest Mouse and the playful chaos of Phish.

The Philadelphia quintet boldly incorporates a dizzying cast of bohemian noises into the 13 tracks on "Rabbit Habits," an album whose name refers to bunnies eating their young. The record title's obscure origin sets the tone for what lies within the music itself--a decidedly strange mix of blitzed and rowdy Jim Morrison-style vocals and frisky, circus-ready musical journeys.

The songs can feel as frantic as a scream-inducing rollercoaster ride or as meandering as a drunken waltz. Regardless of the individual variations from track to track, Man Man approaches their craft with childlike imagination and an unapologetic roughness. This is the kind of music that is adored by hippies and five year olds and, at the very least, gives everyone else an idea of what the world's first caveman band might have sounded like.

A tangled web of piano melodies, bells, cheering crowd samples and general upbeat big-top zeal, "Hurly Burly" is a standout moment from "Rabbit Habits." A runaway xylophone and silly verbal percussion elements make "The Ballad of Butter Beans" a fun experiment on musical accents and pitfall choruses. Throughout "Rabbit Habits," it's hard not to imagine raunchy scenes involving sweaty dive bars filled with beer-bottle-breaking barbaric madness, sweaty mustached men and the occasional clown on stilts. That's just scratching the surface. "Rabbit Habits" has enough eccentricity and psychedelic vibes to take you just about anywhere your mind is willing to go.

Turn Up The Radio

Video



The Loose Salute release their debut single 'Turn The Radio Up' on 19th May through Heavenly Recordings.



'Turn The Radio Up' is a sun kissed, rainbow flecked ode to having fun and embracing all the possibilities that life throws up, sure it's a break up song, but it's incurably optimistic and infectious. It's a song that blows dust off the soul like a summer's breeze washes over the ocean.



The Loose Salute carry their west coast influences (home town Cornwall and Laurel Canyon) not so much on their sleeve but as one big collective badge of honour, and with a doctrine that embraces 'Sunny Days, mellow waves, bright stars and late night bars' they're set to blow the cobwebs off the oft bland musical landscape.



Once you start listening to 'Turn The Radio Up' it's only a matter of time before you'll be reaching for that dial, cranking it up several notches and letting the good times roll!



The Loose Salute are Heavenly Recordings latest signing and release their debut long player 'Tuned To Love' on 2nd June 2008.

Mariah Carey - Mariah Lights Up The Empire State Building

Pop superstar MARIAH CAREY will turn the lights of New York City's Empire State Building lavender, pink and white this weekend (25-27Apr08), to promote the release of her latest album.

The singer will flick a switch on a scale model of the iconic tower at a ceremony on Friday (25Apr08) - and when the sun goes down in the city, the building will glow her favourite colours.

The city is honouring native New Yorker Carey, whose new LP E=MC2 this week (23Apr08) topped the Billboard chart with first week sales of 463,000.

Earlier on Friday, she performed a live free gig for fans in the city's Times Square, which was broadcast on U.S. TV breakfast show Good Morning America.

It's proving to be a big year for the 38-year-old; earlier this month (Apr08) she achieved her 18th number one single in America, lifting her above Elvis Presley and just behind the Beatles, who managed 20.
