The exclusive brand of Converse is part of the Product (Red)™ campaign for aids, and incorporates Armstrong's favourite colours, Black and Red. The shoe's are $69.99 in the US, but don't yet seem to be available in the UK or Europe (let me know if they are!). Compared to other styles of Converse on the market, these don't really stand out, and Billie obviously hasn't had much input with the design, but if you're into all the charity stuff then i'm sure you'll love them. 10% of profits go to Product (RED)™.Go here for more details on the shoe, and Product (RED)™.

Linkin Park are releasing their new live CD/DVD, Road To Revoltion, this month. It was filmed at their UK version of Projekt Revolution, in Milton Keynes. The set includes 18 tracks, with all the hits such as Numb, One Step Closer, Crawling, and Breaking The Habit. Disappointingly, Papercut isn't on the track listing! Their performance of Numb/Encore and Jigga What/Faint with Jay-Z also makes an appearance on the DVD.
In an article on NME.com about the regrouping of Blur, Damon Albarn has said that he's half way through the process of making the next Gorillaz album, he also mentions that the new record will be different and interesting; as is every Gorillaz record! If you're a big fan and need something new NOW, check out Albarn's lastest work, for a more oriental take on the style, in his opera, 
Katy Perry was most deffinately a superb host, despite the audience not getting her humour. She managed to get through numerous outfits, all fantastic! Her hair looked amazing too! Most of the award winners were undeserved, in my opinion anyway... but the performances weren't all too bad. Kanye West was a disaster, he cannot sing, one bit - there's no way of being nice about it... plus he blended into the floor. His duet with Estelle was okay, but she had a backing track which was disappointing, seeing as she can actually sing. Beyonce, Take That, Kid Rock, and The Killer's all bored me greatly, especially The Killers; they've gone downhill so much since their debut album. The Wombat's cover of Bleeding Love (only aired in the UK) was quite good, if you like them; if not you probably think they murdered the song. The Ultimate Legend award for Paul McCartney was introduced by Bono (U2), he took his time, so long that I got bored; he didn't please the liverpudlian audience either as he mentioned that The Beatles should have been irish, "If it wasn't for the potato famine, they'd be ours!" He recieved a nice amount of boo's, and rightly so!
It shows us the infamous Abbey Dawn store over in Japan and features some crazy japanese fans! One of which is a guy, who screams "Harajuku, yeahhh!" So, that's all fine... but it's more what he's wearing that's slightly worrying! As you can see in the video he's wearing the classic stripey pink tee, of the Abbey Dawn line! Which is designed for girls!
I came accross a group complaining about Katy Perry for posing with a three inch knife, they have a good point when they say that it's a bad image to carry for teens in Britain, as knife crime is currently extremely high. Despite this, the photo has never been hugely publised, and has only been posted on her MySpace. And along with this, Katy's american; they don't have such problems over in the US! So, get over it.
The record they've broken is the most interviews conducted by a duo in a 24-hour period; they managed to achieve 74 radio interviews within the day. Each interview was a minimum of eight minutes, with the longest being twenty. Wentz and Stump only breaked for food and toilet breaks.
And it's fecking awesome! It's set in a remote forest and features clips of the movie, Twilight. The video fits the song 
Now i'm not usually a fan of his music... and today's no different. This new track is nothing special, and nothing significantly better than his previous work. Considering how the music industry is progessing, Timberlake doesn't seem to have moved along with it, Kanye West's moved on from the rapping, Bloc Party are more electronic, and Coldplay have discovered a new 
Yes, I've only just seen the video.
Over in the Other Artists and Bands section on AvrilBandaids.com I started a Hey Monday thread, one random user posted calling them poser's. 
Most of you guys in America probably already know about these guys, as they're gradually getting bigger over there; but over here in the UK they're pretty much unheard of, i'm sure they're not big in Europe or Asia either. Their debut album was realeased back in early October, and I just got hold of it a few days back, I've already listened to it a dozen times! It's awesome! Highlights of the album are
