Pop stars, hot news

By NOORSILA ABD MAJID


CAN’T get enough of your pop stars? Grab the latest issue of Galaxie, featuring the freshest and the most happening faces on planet pop. Read about Leona Lewis, Duffy and David Cook’s meteoric rise to fame and how they command today’s pop charts.

If that’s not enough to quench your thirst for the latest in pop idols, Tokio Hotel proves that punk-pop – even if it’s sung in German – can spell mega international success if you have the right package, attitude and marketing tools.

Who’s reading Galaxie now? Sex and the City’s Sarah Jessica Parker finds the magazine irresistible.

Speaking about super successful bands, Galaxie goes to New York to meet up with the pop-rock band of the hour, the Jonas Brothers, for the premiere of their highly publicised made-for-TV-movie, Camp Rock. How glam. That’s not all. The magazine, under its sizzling hot Upfront banner, also has the latest scoop on Hollywood’s IT couples.

Oh, by the way, Lindsay Lohan says clothes don’t make a person, which is arguable if you flip through the Star Style pages, anchored by the likes of Cate Blanchett, Michelle Williams and Natalie Portman.

And what is a good Malaysian entertainment and lifestyle magazine without its staple of Asian news? Find out whether Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who is riding high on Red Cliff, is seriously marrying his long-term partner, Hong Kong actress Carina Lau, at last.

Over in Bollywood land, sexy Mallika Sherawat is cooking up a storm with smoking hot Bhangra rapper, Hard Kaur.

Also up for grabs are exclusive merchandise from The Dark Knight and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. For fans of the Jonas Brothers, here’s your chance to win their personally autographed acoustic guitar!

  • Published fortnightly by Star Publications (M) Bhd, Galaxie has a blog at www.galaxieblog.com.my, which provides pop culture reports and views on the latest happenings in entertainment.
