My computer's a bit screwy, but I managed to make three wallpapers before Photoshop seized up. I'll be making a James wallpaper very soon. Hope you like them!

I've also very nearly finished the gallery - I've just got to upload screenshots and video shoot pictures, and I'll put the lot up! I have no idea how many pictures there are, but I'll count them when it's done. I'd say at least 4000 though - and I've still got to take lots of screenshots..

27.08.04

OK, I just found out what happened to busted.com. Someone hacked into Universal and has been meddling with a few official sites (Busted, McFly, V, Girls Aloud etc), putting racist comments on there this morning. Anyway, all the sites are being moved onto a new server, so that will explain if they're down.

OoO American news from the TOTP site - CLICK! In other American news, Busted are in the September issue of Popstar. Someone also told me that the album is now being released in October (in America), possibly because of the TV show. I wish they'd make a definite date though haha.

Delia said that the Busted book is on sale in Easons in Ireland, and I'm not sure where else.. people have been getting it from amazon as well. Apparently it's really good though, so I really want it now. *pout*

James is going to be co-writing some songs with Natasha Bedingfield (apparently for her second album, even though she hasn't released her first yet, so that's unlikely). Anyway, I think this is true, but I don't know what songs or anything yet. I'll find out some more info soon.

I've answered all your questions, and I've split them onto two pages.. also added the Total Guitar interview with James, huge thankie to Tessie for typing that up!

26.08.04

What's happened to Busted news? There's like none of it! Anyway, yeah..

Busted will be at the ElleGirl / z100 Beach Party at Point Pleasant Beach, NJ on the Boardwalk on September 4th.

24.08.04

I found some articles from The Sun that you might be interested in, about their tour. Click here and here!

There is also apparently a two page spread about the 'Old Busted'.. in Heat. Yes, Heat. I don't think it's an interview though, so it might be safe.

More silly rumours: Charlie has been missing interviews because of a serious drug problem..

23.08.04

All you American fans had better buy Busted's album tomorrow - it's released there tomorrow (Tuesday 24th)! So buy buy buy, we want Busted to crack the US some time soon.

A couple of people have told me that they were on MTV over there, and some people were asked what they think of them, and they described them as a cross between Blink 182 and 'N Sync Oo.

I've updated the Busted radio, but this time it's an acoustic special. It's basically got all of their acoustic tracks (yes, including Thunderbirds Are Go and 3am), so instead of 10 songs, there's 14. And yes, that means RUNAWAY TRAIN IS ON THERE! Love me forever, oh yes. I haven't included Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (you can see the video for that on the videos page) because I couldn't get a good quality audio of it, nor did I put Lola on there, mainly because I think McFly are playing the guitars, not Busted.

22.08.04

Thunderbirds Are Go/3am has dropped one place to number four - it's not doing too badly, is it! I've also been told that you can get Maximum Busted in HMV, but it is not a CD of interviews, it's basically someone telling their biography. Or something. I don't know, I don't have it yet.

Someone sent me this quote, which sounds like it's come from James:-
'If you look at what’s happened over the past few years, bands seem to do three albums and a greatest hits and then split. But that’s not something we’ve ever thought of. Our fans are really dedicated and I don’t see any reason we can’t keep going for another five years - or for as long as we’ve got ideas and people want to hear them.'
Now that sounds like they're splitting up, doesn't it? *rolls eyes*

I'm just talking to my mate about these rumours, and I've just realised how funny it is. I mean it started with random stupid split rumours (because of Charlie joining Fightstar), James beating up a guy for liking Bruce Springsteen, Matt's drunken nights on the town, Charlie splitting up with Camilla (confirmed to not be true). Now there's:-
Matt's split up with Holly again.
Matt's dating a thirteen year old.
Matt's dating Lee from Blue's ex.
Busted are splitting up after their arena tour in November/December.
Charlie wants out of Busted, but is being forced to stay.
Charlie's leaving by the end of the year.
Charlie's not renewing Busted's contract (which apparently runs out next March).
Charlie's doing a solo project.
Charlie's buying the Von Dutch clothing label.
James is doing a duet with Avril Lavigne.
James is in prison. (LMAO!!)
James/Matt are going to go solo.
Matt's joining his brother's band, Undesided.
Matt's launching his own brand of hair dye.

And this is all in about the past month. The funniest thing is, not ONE of them is true. The annoying thing is, some people don't realise this.

21.08.04

OK, all your questions are answered, I've added two poems from Chloe, and I'm going to work on some other things.

Get voting for the boys on US MTV - CLICK and vote for What I Go To School For! Also vote for them in the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party - vote for Busted in the following categories:-
Smash Hits! Star Of The Year (they won last year, so why not again?)
Best UK Band
Best Album (A Present For Everyone)
Plus vote for your favourite boy in:-
Most Fanciable Male
Top Pop Mop (best hair - Matt won last year!)
Best Dressed Star
I guess you could vote for them in Best Ringtone and Best Download as well..

Busted are the centre of the press at the moment, it seems. Rumours are flying about their supposed split. None of it's true, and I think a lot of it is based around their attitudes towards the state of the music industry, particularly in the Heat interview.

There are some more rumours involving Matt and Holly. Apparently they've split up - this is based around the fact he turned up to the I,Robot premiere without Holly. I don't know if any of it is true, but there are two rumours, it seems - one that he is going out with Lee (from Blue)'s ex-girlfriend, and another that he's dating a thirteen year old (that's obviously not true). The truth will come out eventually.

19.08.04

Hannah told me that you can catch glimpses of the real Miss McKenzie quite a lot on BBC1's show, 'When Will I Be Famous?', as she is a dance teacher at Sylvia Young's Theatre School.

I'm going to answer all your questions tomorrow (I was going to earlier and then other things cropped up), plus update quite a few pages.

18.08.04

I have some sad news.. CLICK and CLICK. Get well soon, Linda. <3

16.08.04

If you can, get yourselves down to the MTV studios (17-23 Hawley Crescent in London) between 2 and 3pm tomorrow, as MTV will be filming them leaving for America, so this will be your last chance to see them before they leave, PLUS you might see yourself on the Busted reality TV show. They'll be at the States for about six weeks.

Thunderbirds/3am has shot straight to number one in Japan, well done boys!!

15.08.04

3am/Thunderbirds Are Go has dropped to number three in the charts, breaking their traditional fall to four. I wouldn't mind so much, but that godawful song called Babycakes is number one. *shudder* WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO?!

I've recorded the audio of Bo Selecta with Charlie - CLICK to hear it. I've also written up the transcript, plus I'm going to *try* and get the video on here, cause it's a LOT funnier with the video.

14.08.04

HAHAAHHA how hilarious was Bo Selecta?! If you missed it, it's repeated on channel 4 tonight at 12.05am! And it'll be on the DVD series 3.

Anyway, if you missed it, it was the bear in a band with Charlie, so they started off with Charlie playing guitar and singing. Then the bear said he was out of tune, and it turned into a full blown argument. It was SO funny, Charlie was like 'you can't fkn kick me out the band, you'll become a fkn duo like Sam and fkn Mark and' *lowers voice* 'they're fkn shit!' The bear called him a 'gonk' as well AHAHAHAAH!!!! Charlie was laughing his head off, it's good to see him in a happy mood again!

13.08.04

CHARLIE IS ON 'BEAR SELECTA' TONIGHT (channel 4) AROUND 11PM!

I hope you're all still buying 3am/Thunderbirds Are Go hehe. I don't know the midweeks, so I'm not sure how much chance there is of a three-weeker, but let's hope! And keep buying! Also, The Rasmus - Guilty is out this week, in case you didn't know.. ;-)

Busted are going back to America on the 18th, and staying there for around six weeks. The fans here in the UK will miss them, but let's hope they do well over there! Thanks to Belinda for telling me about that hehe. In TOTP, there's a picture of them holding a newspaper with them on the cover, and the headline is 'Busted bigger than the Beatles!' - I don't know if this is fake, but it actually doesn't look it.

I've updated the my twin page.. this is getting freaky now haha! I've got a few things to update, and I'll try and get round to doing everything, but I'm trying to get the gallery finished, and I'm going back to school on Tuesday, so I'm gonna be pretty busy.

12.08.04

VOTE BUSTED. This means war.

OK, busted.com lie. They said the radio 1 show with Matt hosting would be on this morning. And it was yesterday. And I was up at that time. And I was going to put the radio on. And then remembered it was on tonight. And now I'm annoyed. But you can listen to the show HERE.

He basically hosted an hour-long show, where he played his favourite songs. Here's the tracklist:-
Foo Fighters - Break Out
Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby
Notwist - Consequence
The Killers - Mr Brightside
Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney - The Girl is Mine
The Prodigy - Voodoo People
The Vapours - Turning Japanese
The Streets - Don't Mug Yourself
Sparkle Horse - Hammering The Cramps
Blink 182 - Dammit (live)
AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
Madness - Madness
Johnny Panic - Burn Your Youth
Box Car Racer - Watch Wild

You can listen until 17th, so I'll try and record it before then.

11.08.04

There's an interview with Matt in the NME magazine, and I have to say it's got some of the best quotes from him ever. Like..

'Do you know what? One thing that I never wanted to f***ing do, and we're doing it: we're going to be selling those stupid blow-up guitars. Because if we don't, the guys outside will, and they're earn a packet instead of us. But we are such c***s. I am the biggest c*** I know. I am selling blow-up Busted guitars at my gigs. We've sold out to rubber guitars. £9 for a glorified balloon. What c***s.'

I do love Matt. Those blow up guitars really did make me stare in disgust at the little kiddies at Stoke who were screaming with glee at the thought of having a Busted logo on their own inflatable bits of rubber which vaguely resembled a.. erm, guitar.

He's also put those Busted split rumours to rest, saying that although they will split up eventually, it won't be for at least a few more tours. Anyway, if you want to read the full interview, CLICK!

I've added a page called 'Musically talented, this lot are', and it's basically a page about.. well, their musical talents. It's got a bit of their musical backgrounds etc, but it's 5am and I can't think of much, so I'll add to it later. Oh, there's also some stuff about Matt's brother and Charlie's two brothers.

10.08.04

OK, so the Heat interview. A lot of people are saying that they no longer respect Busted because of it, BUT.. they apologised live on Capital FM, and said that they didn't say half that stuff at all, and Heat just twisted their words to make it sound bad. So there you go. I knew it all along.

Also, this stuff about Matt saying 'Busted fans are ugly' - again, it's a mincing of words. Can you really imagine Matt saying something like that? And I don't mean to be rude, but his girlfriend, Holly, isn't exactly what you could call a supermodel (no disrespect to her though). Sorry for the rant, but it's annoying me that the press are making Busted out to be bad boys in pop, because it's making some people lose their respect for them.

In other random news, Loner In Love was playing in the background on Eastenders earlier, wahey hehe. Don't miss Matt hosting oneclick on radio 1 at 3am on Thursday morning, so stay up all night on Wednesday haha.

09.08.04

I've added a second radio with non-Busted songs hehe, I hope you like it.

The release date of Maximum Busted has been changed to August 16th. Someone also told me that the live album is to be released on November 1st.. more details about that will be coming soon.

I've added the Heat interview and updated the magazines page. Also for the girl who wanted to see the posters of Charlie from the TV Hits Busted poster special, I've uploaded ALL the posters HERE!

08.08.04

STILL NUMBER ONE!!!!!

A Present For Everyone has also moved up 18 places to number 13 in the album chart!

There's a new interview on the TOTP site, so go READ.

07.08.04

Thanks to Belinda, who sent me the link for the Hit 40 UK interview from last Sunday hehe.

Busted are number one on the CDUK Saturday chart, so hopefully that'll mean they're going to be number one tomorrow, woo! Matt's going to be hosting something on radio 1 next Thursday (well, Friday technically) at 3am (strangely enough), so if you're still up at that time, make sure you tune in.

I've added lyrics to all the McFly songs which James cowrote, and also V feat. McFly - Chills In The Evening. I'll answer ALL your questions later - I've got a ton! And I promise I'll answer them more regularly..

BIG PLUG TO ONE OF THOSE ROWDY BOYS, WHO MADE BUSTED ONLINE THEIR SITE OF THE MONTH FOR AUGUST!

06.08.04

Busted attended the movie premiere for I,Robot, you can see the pictures on gettyimages.com and wireimage.com.

My friend has made a petition about the prices of Sic Puppy clothing, so if it's not too much trouble, we'd appreciate it if you could sign it HERE hehe.

05.08.04

Thank you to Laurenzo who said they are number one again in the midweeks, so let's hope for another one on Sunday hehe.

03.08.04

SICPUPPY.COM is open! However, have a look at the prices.. they are ridiculous. I have emailed them about it, saying that if they reduce the price on a couple of the items (particularly the caps! And t shirts, CD cases, wallets..) then their custom will increase. If some of you do the same, then maybe they'll pay attention and take us seriously haha.

You can view photos from Fox FM's Party In The Park (Sunday August 1st) HERE, and a huge thanks to Belinda who told me you can read The Sun's web chat HERE!

I've added a bunch of MSN icons, plus a random video facts page.

Remember to keep buying the single if you haven't already (or even if you have!), and buy it for friends who live abroad or are on holiday etc as well if you like (I am haha). I don't know where Busted are in the midweeks yet, I'm trying to find out.

01.08.04

SLAP MY BUM, THEY'RE NUMBER ONE BAYBEHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Sun reported that the single sold 50,000 copies in five days, so I think it was safe to say they're number one. It has sold out of most shops throughout the UK, which can't be a bad sign, especially as it means that anyone unable to get it this week, can now get it next week and increase their chances of a second week at number one.
