Kylie tests tunes on her boyfriend

[1]

The Australian singer Kylie Minogue constantly played her Spanish model boyfriend Andres Velencoso her latest tunes to help her decide the final tracklisting for eleventh studio LP Aphrodite, which is set for release on July 5.
Kylie said, “I recorded lots of tracks, then I had to work out which ones were the best. I was listening to them on my big, noise-reduction headphones everywhere I went and I was blasting them out in the house and in the studio. Then, one day me and Andres got really silly, dancing around the place. Our test of a good tune is to see if it still grabs your attention when you are in another part of the house. So we were going from room to room. He told me he loves the whole album. We love having a dance together to it.”
The 41-year-old star, who has been dating Andres since they met at a party hosted by Dita Von Teese in 2008, also revealed she can’t stand being apart from the 32-year-old hunk, which is why he travels everywhere with her and fits his work around hers.

Young Gemma wanted to be a punk rocker
Actress Gemma Arterton dreamed of taking to the stage when she was younger but now accepts the closest she will ever get to achieving her ambition is to portray a musician on the big screen.
She told NME.com, “Music is my biggest passion aside from anything else. I was in lots of dodgy bands growing up and I always fancied myself in a band. But, you know, I was rubbish at writing music. So maybe one day I’ll play a rock star, or a punk rocker.”
However, the British star isn’t interested in landing a role in the forthcoming biopic of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, and believes unknown stars should be cast as the tragic rocker and his widow Courtney Love. She explained, “Maybe they should find someone new, because when you’re playing an iconic character, if you get someone really famous to play them, sometimes you’re watching someone really famous play someone else, and it’s nice when it’s a completely new person.”
