Heloise & The Savoir Faire - Members Only

"Jackets, nice asses, backstage passes"

Heloise & The Savoir Faire have been described as Scissor Sisters mixed with Goldfrapp, and I can't really think of a better recommendation than that. I knew I had to check them out. You can get the excellent Downtown (featuring Debbie Harry) on Arjan Writes, so I've decided to post a different track here. Members Only is an incredibly fun representation of the band's disco side. Their record, Trash, Rats & Microphones follows suit as one of the year's purest party albums so far. Also, you gotta appreciate that promo pic above. I've said it before... I adore weird, larger than life pop stars, and Heloise definitely qualifies.

"It's Over Between Me and Echo" - HEART EVANGELISTA

And so, after all the blind items and the unconfirmed tab headlines, Heart Evangelista has finally admitted that she and Jericho Rosales have decided to part ways after going steady for more than three years.

Heart realized that she has to focus on her career,” Annabelle Rama told the press. Annabelle is the new manager of Heart, with Heart’s father, Rey Ongpauco, as co-manager.

A few days ago, Heart signed a two-year contract with GMA-7. Heart was formerly a contract star of ABS-CBN where she did her last TV starrer, Pangarap Na Bituin.

I also realized that I’ve done my parents wrong by disobeying them,” said Heart who reconciled with her parents after being estranged for three years.

It must be recalled that Heart entered into a relationship with Jericho against her parents’ wishes.

Asked if she and Jericho “lived-in,” Heart said no.

She decided to live independently in her own condo unit in Makati almost at the same time she started going steady with Jericho.

For a while, she was managed by Manila Genesis (headed by Angeli Pangilinan who wasn’t pleased by Heart’s switch from Kapamilya to Kapuso). Jericho is currently in Kuala Lumpur shooting a teleserye jointly produced by ABS-CBN and a Malaysian company. He remains a contract star of ABS-CBN/Star Cinema and is still managed by Manila Genesis.

Heart’s first project for GMA is the action-adventure series Asero (tentative title) with Richard Gutierrez in the title role, shooting of which will start this weekend.

More than ever,” added Heart who is, like Jericho, a Born-Again Christian, “I also realized that you should never go against your parents.”

The rumors that Heart and Jericho were breaking up started circulating when it was known a few weeks ago that Heart had cut ties with Manila Genesis.

At first, Heart (and Jericho for that matter) was mum about the rumors.

She reached a decision only yesterday,” said Annabelle (who, along with husband Eddie Gutierrez, is a long-time friend of Heart’s father). “Kaya ngayon lang siya umamin.”

BRITNEY SPEARS Reprises Guest Role on ‘How I Met Your Mother’

Her first guesting stint on “How I Met Your Mother” has fueled its ratings to its all time high. Now, Britney Spears is reprising her role as secretary Abby on the CBS comedy series.

We’re all so thrilled to have Britney joining us once again,” series executive producer and co-creator Craig Thomas said in a statement.

The Britney Spears episode last March 24 won her good reviews and boosted the show’s viewership to 10.6 million compared to its average rating of 9.6 million.

The said episode ended with Britney (as secretary Abby) flirting with Barney (Neil Patrick Harris). The upcoming episode on May 12 has Abby and Barney sharing their mutual dislike of Ted (cast member Josh Radnor) and acting on it.

“How I Met Your Mother” stars Neil Patric Harris (Doogie Howser M.D.), Josh Radnor, Cobie Smulders, Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel (”Forgetting Sarah Marshall”) as an urban family of 20-something New Yorkers.

Alice In Videoland - Candy

"I need a hot passion"

Just in case we didn't have enough great Scandinavian music right now, Alice In Videoland has gone ahead and released their new album She's A Machine. Emily was one of the first songs I ever posted on Alienhits and was a big favorite, so I'm glad I have the opportunity to post another by this great, unique band years later. A lot of bands have taken an electro approach to their music, but nobody sounds quite like AiV. They've got an immediately recognizable sound. Off the new album, Candy was the first track that hit with me immediately, probably because it's got the most poppy melody of them all. Other than that, the album is business as usual. If you liked the other two you're sure to enjoy this as well. (Though in my opinion it's not quite as consistent as the other two... but I'm not like a number one die hard either)
