James Arthur new single artwork, snippet unveiled – listen

James Arthur - New Single Artwork

James Arthur – New Single Artwork

James Arthur has unveiled a snippet of his upcoming new single ‘You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You‘.

The track is the X Factor star’s first proper single, following his winner’s track ‘Impossible’ back in December.

The artwork for the single has also been released, showing Arthur taking a sip of a drink at a diner.

Arthur’s debut LP was recently described as “urban pop” by producer Naughty Boy.

Naughty Boy said: “It’s a real album, I think a lot of people are going to be surprised with his album.”

A release date has yet to be confirmed for Arthur’s new single or debut album.

Watch the video for James Arthur’s version of ‘Impossible’ on YouTube here.

Troye Sivan Australian Actor Comes Out On YouTube

A young Australian actor and YouTube star made a big announcement Wednesday on his YouTube page, which has nearly half a million subscribers.

Troye Sivan, 18, who played young James Howlett in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine“, released a video in which he told the world he’s gay.

This is most nervous I’ve ever been in my entire life,” Sivan said in the clip. “It feels kind of weird to have to announce it like this on the Internet, but … this is not something that I’m ashamed of, and it’s not something anybody should have to be ashamed of, so why not share it with all of you guys?

Sivan said he came out to his family on Aug. 7, 2010. He explained that his whole life, he knew he wasn’t like other boys.

When I was born I always knew something was a little bit different about me,” he said.

Ultimately, Sivan said he hoped his video would provide hope for other gay and bisexual people, just the way he found comfort in YouTube confessions made by others when he was younger.

Those people on YouTube, those brave, brave people on YouTube, without them, I don’t really know where I’d be,” he said.

The makers of 2011’s Inbetweeners movie have confirmed a sequel is now in production.

The follow-up to their hugely successful comedy film will be shot later in 2013, reuniting characters Jay, Neil, Simon and Will. The movie will be released across the UK & Ireland in August 2014.

In a statement, creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley said: “We couldn’t be more excited to be making another Inbetweeners movie.

Thank the fans

They continued: “A new chapter in the lives of the Inbetweeners feels like the very least we can do to thank the fans for their phenomenal response to the first movie.

Earlier this year, newspaper reports suggested the second film could be set in the Australian outback.

However, writers distanced themselves from the claims, saying “Australia is just one of the ideas we’re kicking around.

The original Inbetweeners film, released in August 2011, holds the record for the most successful British comedy of all time.

It centred around the group heading off to the Greek island of Crete on a summer holiday to celebrate leaving school.

It made more than £13 million in its opening weekend and is estimated to have made more than £80 million worldwide.

Starring Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas, the Inbetweeners was first aired on E4 in 2008.

The success of the British version saw it remade in the US although it was cancelled after one series.

Will Simon have ditched the hair gel? Will Jay still be getting lucky behind the cheese counter in ASDA?

The show’s creators confirmed the news on Facebook, but said they were unable to reveal any more details.

Celebrity Big Brother 2013: Rylan Clark wins!

Rylan 'Ross' Clark

After 23 days in the Celebrity Big Brother house, X Factor’s Rylan Clark has taken the CBB title and been crowned the winner. The reality star left the Celebrity Big Brother house to rapturous cheers after a turbulent three weeks.

Runners-up Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag were humble in defeat and clapped along with their fellow housemates, they seemed happy to give a quick nod to the good guy finishing first.

Spencer and Heidi have caused numerous arguments in the house, but the most memorable has to be when they branded Rylan ‘fake’. The pair were asked a series of questions by Big Brother but had no idea that their fellow housemates could hear every word. They pulled no punches and Rylan’s reaction will go down in Celebrity Big Brother history as one of the best rants ever.

Rylan has entertained us from start to finish, stood up for himself and his fellow house mates and made friends for life.

Over the last three weeks we’ve discovered that he is far more than Cry-lan from X Factor, he’s a man of integrity, a funny man with an enormous heart… and we’re proud to have him aren’t we? Well I know I am.

Stay tuned to tv.uk.msn.com for Rylan’s interview!
