The guys are busy doing loads of promotion - they've been in Germany doing interviews and also did a live performance of Year 3000 and You Said No for VIVA (sort of the German version of MTV).. and also performed for TOTP - broadcast on July 10th. And next month, they're off to Japan to promote there for a week!

And rumours everywhere!! Rumour number 1: Matt has a girlfriend.. and don't you dare hate her, I'm sure she's a really nice girl, and I hope they're happy together. This is from The Mirror (thanks to bustedresource.com for this):
Pin-up's hush-hush affair with older woman - I'm afraid I've busted Busted star Matt Jay for having a secret long-term relationship with an older girlfriend. Young Matt - he's the one with peroxide hair, not Charlie the sexy one with the eyebrows - has been dating Holly Davies on the hush-hush for the last six months. The news will devastate the army of teenage fans of the threesome - Matt, Charlie Simpson and James Bourne - who are sold the idea that the lads are up for grabs. Brunette Holly works for Busted's record label Universal Island as a TV plugger, which means she's in charge of all the boy's telly appearances. That's how Holly - who used to work for Pop Idols judge Nicki Chapman's old management company Brilliant - and Matt first got to know each other and the relationship developed. At first, the naughty pair kept it a secret from the record label and management. But eventually their cover was blown and the lovebirds had to come clean. The bosses weren't happy but decided to tolerate the relationship as long as the pair kept it to themselves. While the teen fans will be crying into their Smash Hits at the news, more mature ladies such as myself have cause for celebration. Pretty Holly, who is in her late-20s, is nearly a decade older than the youthful Matt, who is a mere 20-years-old. "It's lasted six months, so it's obviously serious," a friend of the band tells me. "She's been with them from the beginning, taking them to their various TV appearances and their romance developed from there. "The age difference doesn't seem to affect the relationship, as Matt is very mature for one so young. "When everyone found out, Holly was petrified she was in big trouble, but let's face it, nobody can stop them from going out together. "It's just for publicity purposes that the management and record label would prefer that all of Busted were single." But Matt isn't the only member of Busted - who have had top five hits with What I Go To School For and Year 3000 - to have a sneaky girlfriend. Fanciable Charlie, 17, has been slipping off lately to see a mystery girl. He left the Disney channel Kids Awards nominations launch party early to go and watch The Lion King musical with the lucky girl.

Rumour number 2 is that Charlie also has a girlfriend. This is taken from The Star, and again, credit goes to bustedresource.com:
Bad new girls - gorgeous Charlie Simpson from Busted has a secret love. And we're sure his management are fuming about it. Busted - Charlie, James Bourne and Matt Jay - are the hottest boys in music at the moment. Their posters adorn the walls of every pubescent teenage girl. But this week Charlie left his bandmates and fellow chart stars to party on while he sloped off for some quality time with the missus. He slinked off from a bash after the Disney Channel Awards nominations launch to go and watch The Lion King musical with his mystery girl. Aah. A pal told The Goss that Charlie is really loved up with his girlfriend and they've been going out 'for yonks'. He said: "Charlie is so in love. He hates keeping her quiet but the bigwigs behind them don't want any of the guys to have girlfriends. They want them to seem available. "Loads of girls fancy Charlie and he plays along with it for the fans. But while they think they're in with a chance all he's thinking about is seeing his girl again." Busted shot to No3 in the charts with debut single What I Go To School For. Second tune Year 3000 scored a No2 and then they went one better - hitting the top spot with last single You Said No. The talented trio stand out from the rest by playing their own instruments and writing their own songs. The mix of good looks and talent ensured Busted's rapid rise since they first hit the charts last September. And a fair share of controversy has helped too. The guys have a feud going with sexy girlband Girls Aloud. It all started when Matt labelled singer Nicola Roberts 'a ginger bitch'. She retaliated by wearing a skirt daubed with the sentiments that she didn't give a hoot what he thought. Still, Busted have legions of adoring female fans flocking to wherever they may be. And it's guaranteed that madness ensures when they're about. It seems Charlie's surrounded by madness - but this time, it's love...

And finally, rumour number 3 is that Matt has got a tattoo on his right hand.. it's a star hehe - need to know if this is true! Also, he's apparently getting his whole arm done.. um, he's turning into Benji from GC - LOL, I really don't know if that's true. *imagines Matt with his whole arm covered in tattoos* eek! haha, but I've heard that if he gets it done, it'll take 17 hours - bigger eek!!

Just a quick update to say that Busted are gonna be on Re:covered tonight/tomorrow morning/whatever you wanna call it, at 12.35am on BBC1. If you can be bothered to stay up and watch it.

22.06.03

Noooo, album's gone down again, to 16. Oh, and Busted are nominated for Best Newcomer at the Disney Channel Kids Awards. Oooh, and I hope you all entered the question competition for the next single! Busted have now picked their favourite FOUR questions to answer, so pray that it's yours! And even if it's not, your name will appear in the enhanced section of the CD if you entered!!!!! How wicked it THAT?! hehe!

16.06.03

The album's dropped to no.14, and You Said No is down to 41 *cries*.. but it played their next single, Sleeping With the Light On - is that the first time they've played it on the radio?!?! Cuz I've never heard it played before! So yayness!!.

Oh, and you know the official book cover? (scroll down to see it) Well, my friend Fuse has found this one:

Soo.. I wonder which one is the real cover. I think my mate said that one's on the HMV site. Hmm, maybe they'll release them with different covers?! *gasp* But.. but.. how will we choose which one to get?? Bit expensive to get both haha. Oh well, we'll see.

15.06.03

Sorry for lack of updates.. to be honest, there's not really been much to say. Did you all see Busted on the Saturday Show yesterday? It had some stuff about the tour, and James showed you round the tour bus. And guess what? I MISSED IT!!!!! GRRR I'm so p****d off now.. haha.

Oh, and you may have noticed a problem with the site. Right, I use a redirect, .dot.nu. And most people know this site as bustedonline.dot.nu. But the redirect has been hacked, and so the address isn't working. But loserkid.org/busted is still working - but a lot of people don't know that address.. so yeah, I've been getting WAY less than half the visitors I usually get. I'm hoping the address will be back up soon, grr!

09.06.03

'You Said No' is down at 33.. the album's also down to number 9.. hmm, oh well, at least it's still in the top 10!

OK, if you're wondering when the shoot is for 'Sleeping With The Light On' (their next single), I THINK it's today, in a club in London. I didn't get an email though, probably because I'm under 16 (grr). Apparently it's in a club in London, but I honestly don't know much about it, and there were all these rumours about it, because they were trying to keep it secret. Eh, I think that's because they didn't want millions of fans turning up and disturbing the neighbourhood or something.. hmm. I'll try and find more news about that!

Oooh and here's the cover of the official book - looks very shexay, doesn't it! *wink* Thanks to amazon.co.uk for it:

And OMG, have you seen TOTP magazine?!?! Yeah, the one with the free Busted booklet with the HEOWGE poster - you noticed Charlie's growing a beard?! *gasp* I need to make a poll asking if you prefer him with or without it haha.

06.06.03

Woo, I'm back!! So much to update.. LOL I had.. too many emails. I'll add reviews etc when I update the zillions of pages *grah.. 3 days make a difference..*

So, news. Well, I need to update the mags, tour reviews, webchats, and when I get round to it, the pictures and magazine interviews.. oh, plus some random facts and stuff.. uh, yeah, there's enough to keep me going. I'll probably do most of that tomorrow, because I'm exhausted.

OMG and it's Charlie's 18th birthday in FIVE MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!

03.06.03

Whoops, never updated it. :-s You Said No is at no.25 and the album is STILL at no.4. Hehe!

Anyway, news.. um, not much to say really, except that - guess what - tonight is the LAST NIGHT of the Busted UK tour of 2003! I hope that everyone who managed to go, had a fantabulous time (and I'm sure you did!), and you're soooo lucky to have been able to go! If you want to send me a review, please do so by emailing me - I am looking for anything and everything Busted from you fans!!

Hehe and also, there is a competition on busted.com, where you can ask a question, and if you're VERY lucky, Busted will answer it. Yes, and not only THAT, but they are going to film Busted answering them for the backstage bit of the next single - and if your question is answered, it'll show your name too!!!! You can't miss a competition like that, so go get entering!

Uh, and sorry if I'm behind on news over the next few days.. I'm off to Glasgow tomorrow on a school trip until Friday, and then I'm pretty busy over the weekend too.. so I hope I don't miss any really important news or anything!
