Staying in tonight? Then don't miss Busted on TOTP2! It's on from 9.50pm - 11.05pm, so they'll be on some time between then hehe. Also congrats to the boys for winning the CBBC UK Hits 40 thing with Crashed The Wedding :-D hehe! Oh yeah, talking of winnings..

I've FINALLY been able to get to a shop (haven't seen one of those for nearly 2 weeks, can you believe it?!) and buy a copy of Smash Hits. So the full results:
Busted won Best Band In The World Ever, beating Westlife, Blue, Atomic Kitten and Girls Aloud hehe.
They won Best UK Band against Blue, Girls Aloud, Liberty X and Atomic Kitten.
They also scooped the award for Best Album with their debut self-titled Busted, which beat Gareth (Go Your Own Way), Westlife (Unbreakable), Justin (Justified) and Blue (One Love).
Matt picked up Top Pop Mop thanks to his hairstyles! He beat Gareth, Duncan from Blue, Nicky from Westlife and Charlie, who came 5th.
And finally, their Stars Of The Year award put them ahead of Gareth, Westlife, Justin and Beyonce! Good going, guys!
They also almost won some other awards.. Charlie came 3rd in Best Dressed Male, beaten by Gareth and winner Duncan from Blue.
Meanwhile, the boys also got 3rd in.. er.. Best Rock Act. Yes, rock. LOL dammit people, they are NOT a rock band!! Anyway, ahead of them were the Darkness and Good Charlotte *dances* Three favourite bands. In a row. WAHEY!
What else? Most Fanciable Male.. Matt came 4th with Charlie at his heels in 5th (WHERE'S JAMES?!?! bet he was 6th..). Anyway, they were beaten by Shane from Westlife, Gareth and of course Justin.
In Hot New Talent, they came 2nd, just being thrown off the top spot by Girls Aloud.
They also came 2nd in Best Music Video with You Said No, the winner being Beyonce's Crazy In Love.
Lastly, they came 3rd (You Said No) and 5th (Sleeping With The Light On) in Best Single.

And that's just the Smash Hits awards! An update on the TOTP awards - Charlie (or should I say, "Sir" Charlie Simpson, as they say on the site!) came second in Pop Posho, only being beaten by Sophie Ellis Bextor haha!

Anywayz, I've added some alternative lyrics to Crashed The Wedding, made up by Mini-Muffin (taking it that's not the real name :-p LOL), so check it out in the fans section - it's wicked!

30.12.03
Wooo the hosting's arrived for bustedonline.org - but it hasn't been activated yet, so I'm gonna make the layout for the main site, plus the gallery layout, and it will hopefully be up either tomorrow or Thursday (depending when the accounts activated). Wahey!

Oh and apparently Charlie plucked his eyebrows.. NOOOO THE TRADEMARK!!!! hahahaha he won't be Charlie without those!! But yeah I don't think it's very noticeable, so.. hmm.

29.12.03
Woo well done to our site twinnage busted-rock.com who came 4th in the Best Fansite hehe :-D

I've added the lyrics to Merry Christmas Everyone, which Busted performed acoustically on the CITV Busted Special.. I've recorded that too, so I'll upload it and get it on the site for you to hear if you didn't see it! Also thanks to Howie for sending me the Busted interview from the latest Smash Hits.. I will scan that some time as well hehe. Aren't I nice to you?!

28.12.03
Argh I'm SO sorry for the lack of updations :-p Did you all see Busted on SMTV and TOTP Sat yesterday? Good cause I didn't *slaps self* I seem to have this thing of missing all the exclusive performances. FAH.

Busted won Best Video in the TOTP awards with Crashed The Wedding.. somehow I knew they would HAHA!!! They're were closely followed by The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love *dances* you really gotta love that song as well ;-) Here's the full.. 'article', so to speak:
WINNER: BUSTED - 'CRASHED THE WEDDING'
You have GOT to love a video in which three of the sexiest boys on planet pop get dressed up as an entire wedding party, and that includes the girls! Extra marks go to James for being such a good pervy uncle, and Charlie for consenting have his bum pinched while wearing a waitress costume. An image we will NEVER get out of our heads...
RUNNERS UP
1 THE DARKNESS - 'I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE'
2 WILL YOUNG - 'LEAVE RIGHT NOW'
3 GARETH GATES - 'SUNSHINE'
4 FATMAN SCOOP - 'BE FAITHFUL'

And also Best Official Site:
WINNER: BUSTED (www.busted.com)
If you've not got a computer at home, this lovingly crafted shrine to Mattie, James and Charlie could literally be what you go to school for (see what we did there?). And you'll still find it a wondrous place to be if you stay there until you reach year 3000. And it's so well made it won't crash, (or burn) even at a wedding. Er, hang on...Oh yes! When we asked if you'd rather get your Busted goss anywhere else, you said no!

Charlie also came 4th in Most Buff Bloke, being beaten off the top spot by Will Young, Duncan from Blue and of course the mighty Justin Timberlake (you know, I don't really understand what people see in him, but eh *shoot me*). Hehe in Band of the Year, Busted came 2nd next to Blue.. close though! GOOD CHARLOTTE CAME 3RD *dances*.. hahaha oh my. What I don't understand though, is why did Busted get in the 'nowhere near' in Most Gorge Girl (I mean why were they nominated, not why didn't they win it LMAO!), and 'Best Newcomer' (James). Baffles me. Anyway, one result is being announced each day, so I'll keep you posted!

Former Busted member Owen Doyle has gone and sold some story (which I believe is a pile of sposh) to the Sun - click HERE to read his story. Please note that Busted said 'good luck to our friend Owen Doyle' on their first album, and they have said that there were no bad feelings between them, but Ki and Owen just decided to leave. Bet they wish they hadn't now.. anyway, on the subject of articles in newspapers, click HERE to read about Matt and his sister, aww! Thanks to my mate Ruth for that one!

So I'm just gonna type up some more interviews.. Mum's sent off the cheque for bustedonline.org woo, so that'll be coming very shortly! The domain's actually bought, its just the hosting hehe. Must go buy Smash Hits, TV Hits, the whole lot lmao, so I can make layouts for the new site plus the gallery (which is going to be a sort of add-on site thing) hehe. You buy them too. Good stuff in them I hear. Muhaha.

Ooh along with the new site, I'm also going to open a fan fiction site with my mate Clare - you might remember Mentally Obsessed, her fan fic site which she closed.. well we're reopening it hehe! So there'll be loads of wicked Busted fics on that for you all to read, yay!!

24.12.03
CHRISTMAS TOMORROW - have a good one, everyone!!

Add to your collection of Christmas presents with this little ditty that busted.com have nicely put together for you. It's a bit like habbohotel (a virtual hotel) but with a little Bustedness added to it hehe. Check it out HERE - you're bound to enjoy it ;-)

I've typed up three sneak articles, also an interview from Shout and another from Popgirl - they're on the magazine interviews page (media section) so go check those out. I've still got hundreds to type up, but I'm slowly working my way through them. Scans will also be put on the site when I've got the domain hehe, don't you love me?!

23.12.03
A lot of people are confused about the next single - first everyone thought it was Air Hostess, now it's apparently changed to Who's David? I don't know which one it's gonna be - we'll have to wait for it to be confirmed. I personally think Air Hostess would make a cracking single! And imagine the video! Hahaha!

I had a request to put the Busted interview from TOTP (December issue) on here, so I've got that typed up for you to read if you missed it - click here to read it!

22.12.03
Catch Busted in TV Hits, as well as Smash Hits and Popworld this month hehe. And if you missed Busted in the BBC panto (like me - long story..), then there is a repeat on Christmas Day at 9am! To see what else the boys are on, click here.

I'm ordering bustedonline.org around xmas, so it will be coming in the next few days WOO!!! hehe, I promise I will get the gallery up along with it as well, even if it's not finished, I'll put up everything I've got so far, so watch out for that! I've also updated the celeb views page - does anyone know what the Darkness said about them? I'm disappointed cause apparently it wasn't good. At all. And I love the Darkness. Evil.

20.12.03
Grr I still haven't got hold of a copy of Smash Hits, but Busted won the following five awards:
Best UK Band, Best Album (Busted), Stars Of The Year, Best Pop Mop (or whatever the hair-do award is called - Matt) and Best Band In The World Ever - YAY!! It's a fantastic achievement to win so many awards, so I must say thank you to EVERYONE who voted for them!

And talking of voting, please take a few seconds to click HERE and vote for A Present For Everyone in the album of the year 2003!!

Did you all watch CDUK this morning? They performed Hark! The Herald Angels Sing! I missed the first five minutes of the show, which of course was when Busted HAD to be on :-| so if you missed it as well, watch the repeat later at.. 2.55am I think lmao.

They've also confirmed more dates for next summer. They are as follows:
Liverpool's Summer Pops festival will be some time in July, and Busted will be performing at that. Tickets go on sale on January 3rd at 9am, so to order yours, call one of these numbers: 0870 1514 000 or 0870 746 0000 or 0871 220 0260 or 0151 233 3007.
They will be at Britannia Stadium, Stoke-on-Trent, on Saturday 10th July, and also Western River Embankment, City Centre, Peterborough, on Sunday 11th July. Tickets are on sale NOW, and you can get yours by calling 0115 912 9000 or go to wayahead.com - tickets (seated and standing) are £23.50 each, although if you buy at least 6, you can get them for £22.50.

Tickets also available to be picked up from the Brittania Stadium Box Office - for more info on that, phone 01782 592204.

Apparently on the Westlife DVD, Louis Walsh says (about the Westlife tour), 'Blue couldn't do this, or Busted. They're support acts.' What an idiot. LMAO thanks to Minke for that.

18.12.03
Ugh I'm SO sorry for lack of updates, I've been so busy, out every night lmao.

Anyway, I'm pleased to say that Busted have won FIVEEE (yes, FIVE) Smash Hits Awards this year - three of those are Best UK Band, Best Album, and.. *drum roll* Best Band In The World Ever - how fkn wicked is that?!?!!? Best ever! hehehe!!

Seems they're pretty popular here as well, since their songs came on at the dance a few times tonight and EVERYONE went friggin ballistic LMAO!

I've updated the schedule page loads, so check that out to see when and where you can find the boys!

15.12.03
Woo Busted Online came 355th in the top 500 music sites! busted.com went straight in at 4th place as well hehe :-D

And wasn't the Busted special on Popworld wicked?! And it gets better. There are still TWO more parts, each half an hour long - they're going to be on at 10.25 - 10.55am on Tuesday and Wednesday! Yes, its annoying because there's such a thing as school at that time, but there is also such a thing as a VCR, so don't forget to set the timers!!!

As well as that, I am pleased to say that if you miss one thing with them over Christmas, about five minutes later, there'll be another Bustedy thing to watch!! Yes, they are taking over your televisions this month, so check out the schedule page to see what you've gotta watch!

14.12.03
Did you all watch Busted on TOTP Saturday yesterday? They were doing On The Spot, and they also performed Crashed The Wedding acoustic, as well as going in the karaoke booth to sing (erm, "sing"?) Shut Up by Black Eyed Peas, along with Fast Food Rockers, Liberty X and Sugababes! Busted were by far the funniest I think, what with Charlie putting on a stupid voice.. I'll get that recorded some time if you missed it.

Anyway, you can also catch the boys today at 12.50pm for a fantastic ONE HOUR Busted Popworld special!!! And then again at 3.50-5.55pm, they will be performing at the Popworld Xmas concert, so do NOT miss it!!

Also found some pictures from when the boys were at the LOTR3 premiere.. they'll be on the site when I get the gallery up again (which will be SOON, I promise! and oh so worth it ;-) hehe), but for now you can view them at sites like wireimage.com, rexfeatures.com and gettyimages.com.. however you have to pay on the first two to get access to the enlarged images, grr!

12.12.03
Don't miss Busted on TOTP Saturday tomorrow.. not sure what they'll be doing though. They will also be on the Popworld Xmas Special on Sunday (Channel 4), plus the live concert (Popworld Xmas concert) will be shown as well so watch out for that as well.

Oh wow, today in art, we got to listen to the radio, and Crashed The Wedding JUST finished.. but then it said 'and now with an exclusive interview in the live lounge, we've got Busted!' and it had a little interview with them AND they performed an EXCLUSIVE acoustic version of Last Christmas!! I'm gonna TRY TRY TRY my best to find those so you lot can hear it if you missed it!

So what did they say, I hear you ask? Well Matt said the highlight of the year was definitely touring and knowing that people who like the music actually bought tickets to see them live. I think it was James who said he's going to Colorado in a few weeks hehe, and.. I can't remember what else. I must find it.

On my search for it, I found on the radio one site, some stuff about the boys. Apparently Matt's friend, after seeing the Crashed The Wedding video, phoned him up and said 'you could have got a fitter bride for the video!' to which Matt replied 'er, I was the bride..' LMAO his friend apparently couldn't believe it hahaha! He also went for a drink with Michelle (the teacher he had a crush on) after seeing her on the Frank Skinner Show - but he says there's no chance of them getting together because she's married. And as for CHARLIE, well isn't he a posh boy?! He was invited to go to the royal Rugby World Cup winners' homecoming party last Monday! Mind you, with him being ill.. :-s

11.12.03
Ooh I've had a bit of news in the form! Thank you to Hannah for telling me that Busted will be performing a cover of the Undertones - Teenage Kicks, at next year's Brit Awards!

Someone also said that James was asked to a "private party" in a dressing room by a dancer, but he turned her down because he wanted to party with his family - bless him!!

Other news.. there's a bit of discussion about the band's next single. First I heard they're releasing Air Hostess on 2nd February 2004, but now I've just heard that Who's David is going to be released on February 16th! I will inform you all of any more news about it that I hear though.

08.12.03
A Present For Everyone has gone, within eleven days of being released, has gone.. not gold, not platinum, but DOUBLE PLATINUM!!!!! ELEVEN days!! Wooo a HUGE well done to the boys! On the subject of the album, it is currently at number 4 in the UK charts, while Crashed The Wedding has dropped four places to no.12.

There is also going to be something called Sleeping Beauty Uncovered on Monday December 22nd.. I'm not sure quite what it is, it was described as 'a fairytale in a way you've never seen it before' or something, but anyway, I was watching an advert for it, which was playing Crashed The Wedding in the background.. so yepp, you've guessed it, Busted make an appearance in it! So watch out for them in that hehe, should be good.

And finally, check out ceefax no.538 for an interview with Busted! I'll be typing it up on here as well in case you don't have ceefax.

07.12.03
New layout, finally put it up hehe. Hope you all like it! It will be the last ever layout on here while it is hosted at loserkid.org woo!

Busted lost the Record of the Year to WESTLIFE by TWO points (can you believe it? grrr!) unfortunately. :-( Ah well, they can't win everything, can they?

06.12.03
Hope you all watched SMTV/CDUK this morning, cause I didn't *GRR* yeah I was SO tired from last night. Ya, so I'm annoyed about that cause they performed Who's David..

Charlie's better as well apparently hehe, yay! And to cheer him up, you can vote for Busted in the Record of the Year 2003, which is on at 5.45pm! To vote for the boys, PLEASE phone 09011 21 31 06 (calls cost 25p) OR text the word BUSTED to 81333 - texts cost 25p plus the standard charge.

The boys are currently writing a movie which they will star in - they're hoping that it will be a bit American Pie-ish. It won't be out for about two years, but I for one cannot wait!

04.12.03
Ugh I'm SO sorry about lack of updates lately, I've been REALLY busy. Busted were performing at the Capital FM Xmas XS tonight, which my friend went to hehe. She phoned me to let me listen to them, but I was also performing at the local pantomime haha, and there's no signal there so GRRR! Shame about that :-(

Catch Busted on SMTV and CDUK this Saturday along with their good friends, McFly!! They will be performing Crashed The Wedding and also Who's David so DON'T MISS IT hehe!

Also, Charlie's ill :-( The poor ickle guy is tucked up in bed with phlaryngitis - click here to read the full story. The boys don't want to disappoint fans by leaving Charlie at home, but if he keeps performing with them, he may lose his voice for good :-o and we don't want that! But don't fear - good ol' Chaz should be back up and running by the end of the week!

Thank you to everyone who voted for Busted in the Record of the Year 2003 - they've made it into the final 10 woo!!! Make sure you watch the final this Saturday and lets make Busted the number one record of 2003!

01.12.03
