			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the massive success of Green Day&#8217;s album, American Idiot in 2004, I bet many people are wondering where have the punk rocking trio been hiding all these days.</p>
<p>It seems they&#8217;ve been hiding under a totally new band, the Foxboro Hot Tubs! Check out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxboro_Hot_Tubs" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">this</a> page if you don&#8217;t know who they are.</p>
<p>The new album will be called <strong>Stop Drop and Roll</strong> and will be released, no, not next year or next month but in a matter of a few days!! It will be released on May 20th. You can pre-order it <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http://www.amazon.com/Stop-Drop-Roll-Foxboro-Tubs/dp/B0015FHDRW?ie=UTF8&amp;s=music&amp;qid=1205629034&amp;sr=8-1&amp;tag=greendayfansi-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.amazon.com');">here</a> at Amazon.</p>
<p>It has been confirmed that Green Day will be releasing their new album under the name of Foxboro Hot Tubs and after the release of American Idiot, four years ago, fans can be rest assured that this album will be just as amazing. Green Day have been in the music industry since 1987, just over 20 years and still going strong.</p>
<p>The band consists of Billie Joe Armstrong who is on vocals/guitar, Mike Dirnt (guitar, vocals, percussion) and Tre Cool (percussion/drums). Green Day&#8217;s touring friends, Jason White, Jason Freese and Kevin Preston are also part of the Foxboro Hot Tubs.</p>
<p>Green Day haven&#8217;t changed their band name, but the Foxboro Hot Tubs are merely a side project for them to work on. The lead vocalist, Billie Joe Armstrong is also a guitarist and vocalist for the punk rock band <strong>Pinhead Gunpowder</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/3301/47ak6.jpg" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="5" />The band has sold over 65 million records worldwide and they also have 3 Grammy awards for Best Alternative Album for <strong>Dookie</strong>, Best Rock Album for <strong>American Idiot</strong>, and Record of the Year for <strong>&#8220;Boulevard of Broken Dreams&#8221;</strong>. They also performed the theme song for The Simpsons Movie.</p>
<p>Green Day began in 1987 and first got their breakthrough success with their album, Dookie, which was released in 1994. It was recorded in just 3 weeks and attracted attention from many people. They gained popularity very quickly and the album, Dookie,  won the <em>Grammy Award</em> for <u>Best Alternative Album</u> and the band was nominated for 9 MTV Video Music Awards including Video of the Year.</p>
<p>There are also rumours that Green Day are scheduled to release three albums this summer, as themselves this time. I can tell their new albums to come will be a huge success aswell as the Foxboro Hot Tubs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With so many other celebrity splits rumours going around, there&#8217;s yet another Hollywood couple on the list. This time it&#8217;s Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, the Hollywood Supercouple.</p>
<p>They were seen together, hand in hand, at Victoria Beckham&#8217;s 37th birthday and all seemed fine.</p>
<p>Although, even then there were rumours that Katie &amp; Victoria are not the bestest of friends anymore. <img src='http://nimzigirls.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> Apparently, Tom Cruise didn&#8217;t like Katie to be hanging around with Victoria and developing the same eating habits as her.</p>
<p>But the magazine  &#8216;Life &amp; Style&#8217; has spread the word that they are going to split. The magazine exclaimed the couple are only keeping up this whole romance lark until after the baby&#8217;s born. What they did was place a photograph of the couple on the page, emblazoned with the word &#8216;Split&#8217; across them.</p>
<p>Hollywood&#8217;s sweetest couple, do you think they will ever split up?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By, Robert Frost</p>
<p>Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,<br />
And sorry I could not travel both<br />
And be one traveler, long I stood<br />
And looked down one as far as I could<br />
To where it bent in the undergrowth;</p>
<p>Then took the other, as just as fair<br />
And having perhaps the better claim,<br />
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;<br />
Though as for that, the passing there<br />
Had worn them really about the same,</p>
<p>And both that morning equally lay<br />
In leaves no step had trodden black<br />
Oh, I kept the first for another day!<br />
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,<br />
I doubted if I should ever come back.</p>
<p>I shall be telling this with a sigh<br />
Somewhere ages and ages hence:<br />
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I &#8211;<br />
I took the one less traveled by,<br />
And that has made all the difference.</p>
<p>&#8211; One of my faves!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1965, when Julie Andrews won an Oscar for Best Actress for her first movie, Mary Poppins, she famously remarked, &#8220;I know you Americans are famous for your hospitality, but this is really ridiculous.&#8221; Leona Lewis probably has a pretty good idea of how the actress felt. Lewis&#8217; first album, Spirit, enters The Billboard 200 at #1&#8211;three weeks after her first American single, &#8220;Bleeding Love,&#8221; topped the Hot 100. Lewis is the first foreign-born artist to reach #1 in the U.S. with his or her first charted album and first charted single since Spice Girls in 1997. That quintet, which, like Lewis, hails from England, reached #1 with its album Spice and single &#8220;Wannabe.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the past 52 years, only five other non-American artists have received such a hospitable welcome on the U.S. charts. The Singing Nun (from Belgium) scored in 1963 with The Singing Nun and the novelty-edged ditty &#8220;Dominique.&#8221; The Beatles turned the music world upside down in 1964 with Meet The Beatles! and &#8220;I Want To Hold Your Hand.&#8221; Paul Mauriat &amp; His Orchestra (from France) was a throwback to a gentler time with its 1968 album Blooming Hits and instrumental smash &#8220;Love Is Blue.&#8221; Average White Band (from Scotland) scored in 1975 with AWB and the funky instrumental &#8220;Pick Up The Pieces.&#8221; And Men At Work (from Australia) capitalized on strong MTV appeal in 1982 with Business As Usual and &#8220;Who Can It Be Now?&#8221;</p>
<p>Except for the Beatles, none of these newcomers really lived up to their fast starts. The Singing Nun never even made the Hot 100 again. Mauriat never had another top 40 hit. Men At Work, AWB and Spice Girls basically had two-year chart careers. It seems that artists do better long-term if they build gradually rather than experience overnight success. What does this mean for Lewis? Plainly, early success doesn&#8217;t guarantee a long and substantial career. But the fact that so many of these other acts flamed out quickly doesn&#8217;t mean the same thing will happen to her. Talent, drive and luck will play important roles, as they always do, in determining how far she&#8217;ll go and how long she&#8217;ll stay in the game.</p>
<p>Vangelis (from Greece) nearly made this list with the Chariots Of Fire soundtrack and the instrumental theme &#8220;Chariots Of Fire&#8211;Titles,&#8221; from 1982. But he had had two prior charted albums with Jon &amp; Vangelis, in which he partnered with Jon Anderson of Yes.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.nimzigirls.com/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.1/images/leonabig.jpg" alt="Leona Lewis" align="right" height="435" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="300" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Bleeding Love&#8221; returns to #1 on the Hot Digital Songs chart after yielding for two weeks. &#8220;Bleeding Love&#8221; sold 223,000 downloads this week, its heftiest total to date. This is the fourth straight week that the #1 song on Hot Digital Songs has registered sales of 200,000 or more downloads. That&#8217;s a new record, topping the old record of three weeks&#8211;another indication that this is a fast-growing market. &#8220;Bleeding Love&#8221; has topped the 200,000 mark in both of its weeks on top. Mariah Carey&#8217;s &#8220;Touch My Body&#8221; and &#8220;4 Minutes&#8221; by Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake also reached that threshold when they topped the chart.</p>
<p>Before the Nielsen/SoundScan era started in 1991, it was unheard of for a debut album to enter the chart at #1. Whitney Houston&#8217;s 1985 debut album took 50 weeks to hit the top spot. Mariah Carey&#8217;s 1990 debut took 36 weeks. Even in the early years of SoundScan, it was rare for a debut album to open at #1. Toni Braxton&#8217;s 1993 debut took 31 weeks to reach the top. But by 2001, when Alicia Keys&#8217; Songs In A Minor bowed at #1, it was a fairly common occurrence.</p>
<p>Houston, Braxton and Keys were all signed to their record deals by legendary executive Clive Davis, who also signed Lewis. Braxton and Keys both won Grammys for Best New Artist. Houston surely would have won, but was (foolishly) struck from the eligibility list because she had earlier recorded a duet or two. (Horrors!) Lewis is the instant front-runner to win the award next year. It&#8217;s only April, so that prediction may seem rash, but she has everything that Grammy voters love&#8211;a classy sound, undeniable vocal ability, splashy commercial success and the promise of a long career.</p>
<p>Lewis, 23, is the first British solo artist to enter the weekly pop album chart at #1. She&#8217;s also the first female solo artist who was born in England to top the chart since Olivia Newton-John scored with back-to-back albums in 1974-1975.</p>
<p>Lewis rose to fame in England after winning that country&#8217;s X Factor TV talent competition. The show was launched by Simon Cowell of American Idol fame. Lewis is the second act that Cowell has championed that has landed a #1 album. Cowell was also behind Il Divo, which opened at #1 with Ancora in 2006.</p>
<p>Lewis&#8217;s reign atop the Billboard 200 album chart is expected to be brief. Mariah Carey&#8217;s E=MC2 is likely to send it packing next week. Two weeks after that, Madonna is due with Hard Candy. If Leona, Mariah and Madonna hit #1 in succession, as I expect, it will be the first time that three female solo artists have debuted at #1 back-to-back-to-back since Monica, Beyonce and Ashanti scored in June and July 2003.</p>
<p>Two of the top three albums this week are by country artists. This is country music&#8217;s best showing since late October, when the top three spots were held by Carrie Underwood, Robert Plant/Alison Krauss and Gary Allan. (I&#8217;m not counting Eagles, who were in the top three in November with Garth Brooks, as a country act, because they transcend the genre.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rumors proved true this week when actress Rose McGowan and director Robert Rodriguez admitted that they are involved in a relationship.  The couple was previously seen holding hands at the Cannes film festival.<img src="http://www.nimzigirls.com/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.1/images/robrose.jpg" alt="Rose and Robert" align="texttop" vspace="5" /></p>
<p>There was alot of speculation around this while filming for the latest Rodriguez/Tarantino movie &#8220;Grindhouse&#8221; was under way.  Rose is a star in that movie.</p>
<p>Rose McGowan is perhaps best known for her role as one of the &#8220;charmed ones&#8221; on the recently ended cable television series &#8220;Charmed&#8221;.  She is also known for for a very public five year relationship with Marylin Manson, during which she walked a red carpet in a see through dress with a thong.</p>
<p>Rodriguez officially announced in April of 2006 that he and his wife Elizabeth Avellán separated after 16 years of marriage.  There is still speculation that part of this seperation is due to the heat between him and Rose that developed on set.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With so much buzz these days about going ‘green’ and an emphasis on being environmentally savvy, I have to admit I was slightly embarrassed to confess to a friend a few weeks ago that I didn’t even know what being ‘organic’ really meant. Sure, I buy some organic products, but out of convenience more than anything else. I live two blocks away from a Whole Foods! As silly as that sounds, I’m guessing I’m not alone it seems to me all the hype about organic foods/beauty products just popped up out of nowhere without a real explanation. I think it’s great to have such an environmentally friendly concept thrown into the limelight and become trendy, but I also think it’s important to actually know something about this trend that you may or may not be following. Sure, it’s pretty clear that organic products are better for you, but why? What does it really mean to be organic?</p>
<p>There is so much information out there on organic products, it’s almost overwhelming—the simplest definition I could find explains that organic produce and other ingredients are grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation. In other words, organic products are farmed without the help of outside chemicals. The organic craze is still pretty new so in the grand scheme of things it’s hard to know exactly what long-term benefits organic products have on our health. But for me, keeping unnecessary chemicals out of the air and out of my body is a no-brainer! And what we do know for sure is that organic farming promotes sustainable agriculture—these farmers are allowing nature to take the driver’s seat once again. Supporting organic farms is a fantastic (and delicious!) way to show that you care about the future of our environment.</p>
<p>So, whether you’re using organic products because Cameron Diaz does, or because it’s something you truly believe in really doesn’t matter—either way you should feel great about yourself for contributing to a positive cause!</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of all this ‘organic’ business? Do you buy any organic foods or products?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Signature blonde celebs such as Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johansson and Britanny Nurphy have all experimented with their tresses in favour of the dark side of chocolate. If you are thinking of going from blonde to brunette, keep reading before you take the plunge.</p>
<p>Whilst choosing to go a dark shade can be bold and brave, you need to ensure that the colour you choose suits you. If you want an all over hair colour change get the advice of your hairdresser – even if you want to do it yourself.</p>
<p>Consider semi- permanent colours which wash out, so are less risky. If you&#8217;re fair, ask for a semi-permanent or vegetable dye, which will fade naturally after about six weeks. Go no more than two shades darker first-time round and keep any changes subtle. If you’re not sure what colour to go for or just want to give your hair a shiny look opt for a wash in temporary colour. This washes out after a few times and doesn’t damage or change your hair colour.</p>
<p>Medium and olive skins look best with cool, ashy brown, while Black skin suits dark shades warmed with light-brown highlights.</p>
<p>Colour-treated hair must be looked-after and investing in an intensive conditioner is a worthwhile idea. Wash with a gentle shampoo and always use a conditioner as well as an intensive conditioner every few weeks. Try to only shampoo twice a week as the colour could fade. If you go swimming it’s wise to wear a swimming cap.</p>
