Glastonbury headliners revealed

Jay Z, Kings of Leon and The Verve have been announced as this year's Glastonbury headliners.
Following months of speculation, in which Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen and Led Zeppelin were rumoured to play on the Pyramid stage, the headliners were finally disclosed yesterday.
Kings of Leon will headline on Friday night; Jay Z on Saturday; and The Verve will close the festival on Sunday evening.
Other acts also confirmed to play are CSS, Neil Diamond and Hot Chip. The Guardian is also reporting that Leonard Cohen will perform on stage for the first time in 14 years.
Of the headliners, organiser Emily Eavis said: "We're absolutely thrilled to have them. The Verve are a classic Glastonbury band who've played some amazing sets at the festival over the years. Now that they're back together again, playing brilliant shows, we've finally got them doing the headline slot that they always deserved. I can't wait."
She continued: "Jay-Z is coming all the way over from New York especially to play the festival. It's a real coup for us. He might seem like a slightly unusual choice for Glastonbury, but we've never just gone for the obvious acts and we're so honoured to have one of the most talented and respected musicians on the planet coming to the farm. He's an amazing artist and an incredible live act. I think he's going to blow people away."
She added: "That leaves Kings of Leon. They've come through the ranks at Glastonbury since they rocked the New Bands Tent in 2003. We think they're one of the most exciting live bands out there right now and that they're ready to make the leap to join a great heritage of Friday night headliners which includes Coldplay and White Stripes."
The full line-up for the Festival will be announced in June with the three-day event taking place from 27 to 29 June.
Fans who want one of the 137,500 tickets on offer must provide contact details and a passport photo in order to receive a registration number.
The number does not guarantee entry to the festival at Worthy Farm in Pilton, however fans will not be able to buy a ticket without one.
They have until Friday 14 March to register their interest via the festival's website. Tickets will then go on sale on Sunday 6 April.

Ali Larter - Larter Forced To Lose Weight On Movie Location

HEROES star ALI LARTER was once treated like an outcast on a film set after discovering how cruel Hollywood can be to an actress who gains weight.

The sexy star admits producers and directors stopped talking to her after she piled on the pounds while shooting a film on location.

She tells the new issue of Allure magazine, "The faxes went out from the producers and the director to my agents to my manager to call me and ask me to lose weight.

"I just remember sitting in my trailer hysterically crying from the embarrassment I felt about myself, my body - and that no one could talk to me directly."

Foo Fighters - Foo Fighter Hawkins Replaces Wilson On Tribute Track

FOO FIGHTERS star TAYLOR HAWKINS is set to take the place of late THE BEACH BOYS drummer DENNIS WILSON on an upcoming commemorative single.

Hawkins will provide vocals for Holy Man, which will feature on an updated version of Wilson's 1977 acclaimed solo album Pacific Ocean Blue, which will be released in the U.S. on 9 June (08).

The single is slated for release on the same day as the reissued double-CD LP, which will act as a tribute to the star, who died in 1983 after drowning at Los Angeles' Marina Del Rey.

And Gregg Jokobson, who co-wrote and co-produced the original album, insists the Foo Fighters drummer was an obvious choice to replace Wilson, because of his similar sounding vocal talents.

He says, "I always said, 'Taylor, you sound just like Dennis.' Taylor is just a natural. He came in, he did the vocal within an hour and I really think he knocked it out of the park."

Incubus play the hits at Download

Incubus played a hit laden set on the Main Stage at Download Festival this evening (June 14).

The Californian rockers ran through a selection of hits from their back catalogue including �??Are You In?�?? and �??Wish You Were Here�??.

Singer Brandon Boyd, who was dressed in a baggy white vest, was on jovial form as he joked with the crowd, �??Is the beer cheap enough? No oh well did you bring your own?�?�

Later he also spotted a giant hot dog stand at the back of the stage and jibed: �??There is a giant hotdog in the corner if you�??re hungry.�?�

The singer spent much of the set hammering on a set of bongos before getting the crowd to take up vocal duties on �??Pistola�??.

At the end of the set he ripped his vest off and sang 'Crow' on his knees.

Incubus played:

'Just A Phase'
'Nice To Know You'
'Wish You Were Here'
'Anna Molly'
'Circles'
'Kiss'
'Drive'
'Meglomaniac'
'Priceless'
'Are You In?'
'Pistola'
'Sick Sad Little World'
'Stellar'
'Crow'
