Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne pu Malibu beach house up for sale for $10 million

The married couple - who were recently presented with an unpaid $1.7 million tax bill by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) which they have now paid - have decided they no longer want the luxurious five-bedroom house and have put it on the market.

As well as multiple bedrooms, the 4,500 square-foot property also boasts five bathrooms, a study, large living room, two balconies which provide panoramic ocean views and is situated directly on the beach within a gated community.

Rocker Ozzy and 'The Talk' presenter Sharon rented out the California home for $40,000-a-month in 2010.

Earlier this month, Sharon admitted she blamed herself for the $1.7 million tax bill.

The 58-year-old star - who owed $718,948.25 for the 2008 tax year and $1,024,175.03 for 2009 - accepts she spent too much time focusing on herself rather than concentrating on her household finances.

She said:"I'm to blame. Even though {the accountant} is paid to do a job, the buck stops with me. I was too involved with myself. I cancelled two meetings with him over the last 18 months because I was way too busy. The bottom line is it stops with me.

"The last couple of years, I have really been concentrating on myself - because I think I love myself a little bit too much - and not taking care of business."

Chas and Dave perform last London gig

Chas and Dave thrilled fans at London's Indig02 Monday night (18.04.11) as they performed their last ever show in the UK capital.

The cockney duo - made up of David Peacock and Chas Hodges - were in fine form as they played through their greatest hits at the packed venue in their home town, much to the delight of the pair's loyal followers.

The band's set included 'Rabbit', 'Gertcha', 'Ain't No Pleasing You', 'The Sideboard Song' and 'Snooker Loopy' with dedicated fans singing along to almost every word.

One fan told BANG Showbiz:"They are incredible performers and it was a great send off, but we're incredibly sorry to see them go - I can't think how anybody could possibly replace them."

While it is Chas and Dave's final tour, their legacy is set to live on as they are to re-record 'Snooker Loopy' to mark its 25th anniversary.

World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn said:"It might give the nation nightmares, but the time is right for a remake. Snooker is going places."

Chas has previously said he isn't worried about not playing with Dave anymore because he knows their songs will last.

He said:"The beauty of it is, there's always the records, which will always be around. There was a little coincidence yesterday - my wife told me a friend of hers was speaking about a funeral she'd been to, and as they played the fellow out they were playing 'The Sideboard Song 'by Chas and Dave. That's the great thing, the songs are not just made for the moment, they're made forever."

Before Chas and Dave took to the stage last night, north London quintet The Holloways performed, which was also one of their final concerts before splitting up.

Launch Night for possible 'Album of the Year' contender this Friday

Ghosts of Progress will finally launch their critically acclaimed debut album 'Exchange your Problems for Whisky and Dope' in Glasgow this Friday night (April 22nd) at the Captains Rest, Great Western Road (Also the same weekend Captains Rest celbrates it's Third birthday)

The duo consisting of Lew Pelgeave and Calum Christie formed out of the ashes of a 4 piece in 2008 and have been 'Keeping drummers out of live music ever since'

Lew plays guitar and sings whilst also kicking half a drum kit live on stage while Callum rocks out with some intricate craftmanship alongside him. It gives them a unique live dynamic like no other live band I've ever seen.

Having seen them play Three times before and previously gave them my first and only ever 5 star album review on www.music-news.com, I also included them in the Scottish Tips for 2011 show. They've certainly won me over in a saturated scene full of same old, same old. Refreshingly ballsy and reassuringly loud Im far from the only one as review after review gives these guys top marks again and again.

It's a dirty bluesy garage rock classic and reminds me of Queens of the Stone Age mixed with a melodic Gomez groove.

I caught up with Lew to ask him a few questions ahead of the big Glasgow launch. First up what influences their music ' one man bands, metal and punk . Dont do indie pish im afraid. Nowadays our main influences are the bands we play with the Bucky Rage, the Amazing One Man Band, Fatalists, Acid Fascists, Girobabies, Filthy Little Secret,Casino Queen. We recently played with Lafaro in dundee and at haddowfest they were an amazing live band'

How would he describe the album himself in one sentence?

'our album is a ten track brutal garage blues record that will batter you from start to finish'

Its hard to disagree with that sentiment. It's an album that demands your attention. The producers done a fine job of translating the live sound onto record but until you see it with your own eyes the noise that just two boys from Montrose can make it may not be apparent how much potential these guys really have

With reguards to Glasgow Lew says

' favourite place to play would defo be glasgow great music scene played with a

lot of great bands in glasgow had some cracking nights there'

Having seen Three of their previous trips to Glasgow I can testify that the energy of the performances really does bode well with the Glasgow crowd who are won over within seconds of he opener.

This will be their first headline gig in the big smoke. Tickets are£5 at the door with Filthy Little Secret, Girobabies and Retrofrets all adding to proceedings. Doors open 8pm so get there early to avoid any disappointment.

you can check them out at : http://www.facebook.com/ghostsofprogress

Chipmunk feels his life was over when tracks from his new album were leaked

Chipmunk feels his life was over when tracks from his new album were leaked.

The 20-year-old rapper was livid when 'Champion', his duet with Chris Brown appeared on the internet before the record was released, so insisted the LP, 'Transition', had its release date brought forward.

He said: 'That definitely p***ed me off. Oh definitely. I was like, 'Oh no, my life's over, what do I do?'

'But it was OK. I just had to stamp on a few desks at my record label and say, 'This needs to come out now.' '

Chipmunk also revealed how moved Chris ' whose career has floundered since he was convicted of assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna in February 2009 ' was by the words of 'Champion' when he was first sent

the song.

Explaining how their collaboration came about, Chipmunk told more! magazine: ' wanted everything to have some kind of deep meaning and I was thinking, 'Who's going to sing 'Some people have to learn' and

really mean it?' Chris Brown!

'So we hollered at him and he absolutely loved it. He rang me and said the song hit him where it hurts.'

Simon Cowell more proud of Leona Lewis than anyone else from his TV shows

Simon Cowell is more proud of Leona Lewis than anyone else from his TV shows.

The 'Bleeding Love' hitmaker has found worldwide fame since winning UK programme 'The X Factor' in 2006 and the music mogul is delighted by the way the singer transformed her personality as the competition progressed.

Asked who he is most proud of, Simon said: ' would say Leona Lewis. When I first met her, she auditioned on the 'X Factor'. She was very shy and didn't believe in herself and then turned into this fantastic artist by the end. So I guess Leona, because she's the reason why we do these shows.'

Simon ' who is preparing to launch 'The X Factor' in the US ' believes 17-year-old singing sensation Justin Bieber is one of the biggest examples of the type of star quality he and his fellow judges will be looking for in the competition.

Explaining to We Got You Covered blog on Buzznet what having X factor means, he said: ' It was something we've always used for years in the music business, which is - it's very difficult to write down in words what makes somebody special. But when they walk in the room it could be presence, it could be their voice, it could be the effect they have on other people.

' guess Justin Bieber's a good example of someone who has the 'X factor.' But you recognise it when you meet him or you see him perform, and like I said, he has that incredible effect on his fans ' and that means he has it. And I've seen other people his age look almost identical to him who haven't got it. It comes from within I think.'

Kimberly Wyatt has offered Kate Middleton pole dancing lessons

The 29-year-old dancer is known for performing raunchy routines in her former group the Pussycat Dolls and says she could show the future queen a few saucy moves to entertain her husband-to-be Prince William after they get married on April 29.

Kimberly told the Daily Star newspaper:"I'd love to show her some moves. William would definitely have a cracking treat on his wedding night."

However, the choreographer may be surprised to learn that Kate, 29, may know a few moves already, as she reportedly received lessons in the art when she attended a hen party with Prince Harry's girlfriend Chelsy Davy in 2006.

The pair were said to have enjoyed a day of pampering at a London hotel before taking the exotic dance classes to celebrate a friend's upcoming nuptials.

Another royal to have embraced the sexy hobby is Princess Eugenie, who in 2009 reportedly climbed on stage at London's Sophisticats Gentleman's Club to show off some moves.

The princess was said to have giggled as she watched a brunette dancer perform a raunchy routine for one of her male friends, before standing up and dancing next to her table with a pal then asking if she could have a go on the pole.

At the time a witness said:"Because of health and safety regulations she was told she would not be allowed unless she was employed by the club and had undergone training on the pole, like all their dancers. It was all done very tongue-in-cheek and Eugenie took it in good spirits."

Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica and Whitesnake form supergroup for charity

Normally, if someone says who cares, you don't pay a lot of attention but the new hard rock/metal supergroup calling themselves WhoCares won't let themselves go unnoticed.

Built around Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) and Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath, Heaven&Hell), the group also features bassist Jason Newsted (Metallica), keyboard player Jon Lord (Deep Purple, Whitesnake), drummer Nicko McBain (Iron Maiden) and Linde Lindstrom (HIM).

The artists have come together to record a single, Out of My Mind/Holy Water, which will be released on May 6 and will benefit the rebuilding of a music school in Gyumri, Armenia which was destroyed by an earthquake back in 1988. Gillan and Iommi were part of a fundraising effort in 1989 called Rock Aid Armenia that released an album and a cover version of Smoke on the Water.

Jump ahead twenty years and Gillan and Iommi are given the Armenian Medal of Honor for their work. Iommi said in a statement"Some twenty years ago when the call came, I thought, well at least I've helped but it was going to Armenia and seeing the actual devastation caused by the earthquake that really made me realize that funds were still needed. Despite all the money that was raised last time, here was a music school doing their best, forgotten, in basic tin sheds. After the warmth and honor bestowed upon us during our visit, we just had to help make a difference and get the school re-built. And what better way than to hook up with some of rock's greatest players and my old mate Ian, both an honor and a pleasure."

Gillan added"The idea came as Tony and I flew back from Yerevan together after being inspired by the enthusiasm of everyone there to get this thing done. It was brilliant working with Tony again after all these years; he makes life easy for a singer. The other guys need no introduction do they."

The new tracks will be released via digital sources along with on CD with a 40-minute documentary on the pairs involvement with Armenia. A 7"vinyl version, limited to 1,000 copies, will also be released.

Elton John tells Kings Of Leon to lighten up over Glee

Elton John has told Kings of Leon to 'lighten up' after the band's feud with Glee creator Ryan Murphy.

'There's a big debate going on about the Glee thing at the moment,' John said during an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. 'A lot of bands are saying 'We don't want our songs on Glee,' {well} lighten up you assholes! This is a compliment. Also, it sends a positive message out. What the hell is wrong with you guys?

'Two or three of those bands you wouldn't want to play their music on there anyway, but Kings of Leon, lighten up guys, come on!'

He was talking to a twitter feud that burst out recently after Kings of Leon refused to allow their music to appear on the musical series.

Kings of Leon weren't the only ones to slam the show. Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl recently said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, 't's every band's right, you shouldn't have to do fucking Glee, and then the guy who created Glee is so offended that we're not, like, begging to be on his fucking show! Fuck that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do Glee.'

Former Guns 'n' Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash said of the show, ' fucking hate musicals. It's worse than 'Grease'.'

E! Online reports that Ryan 'Creator of Glee' Murphy has said, 'Fuck you Kings of Leon. They're self-centered assholes and they missed the big picture,' and in references to Slash's 'Grease' comment, 'Usually I find that people who make those comments, their careers are over; they're uneducated and quite stupid.'

Goldfrapp are starting work on their sixth album

Musician Will Gregory finds getting back together with bandmate Alison Goldfrapp"refreshing"following his recent work on opera 'Piccard in Space'.

He told Radio station BBC6 Music:"I am ready to do it now, to get back to Goldfrapp will be a very refreshing change.

"We have tried sitting down and writing lists and having coffee to talk about it, but usually we just mess about, it's good not to be too conscious about what you do."

Although the 'Rocket' hitmakers have plenty of unused material from their 2010 album, 'Head First', they are likely to start recording from scratch.

Will added:"We have, as usual, lots of stuff in the bottom drawer which we rejected the first time round, but I expect we'll want to start a fresh this time round."

In November 2010 Alison revealed the group's record deal with EMI had ended, but she was excited to continue their career with a new label.

She said:"We are no longer with EMI. It's exciting because it is kind of, like, 'Wow, this is a whole new chapter really, what will we do and will anyone want us?'

Soon after the band signed to independent record company Mute.

However, it was not easy as the baby girl was kicking during the modelling session.

She added: 'The babies were kicking almost the entire time; it was unbelievable.

'Especially the girl ' clearly she's a diva in training! We didn't start shooting until 1.30am because I was in the hospital from the night before until the day of the shoot with contractions five minutes apart.'

Chipmunk official album launch party announced at Proud2

Award-winning star CHIPMUNK celebrates the release of his highly-anticipated second album, TRANSITION on Friday 22nd April at Proud2 at the O2 Arena.

Looking to mark his 'Transition' in style, Chipmunk will be inviting his fans to party alongside him and his celebrity friends at the London venue. With performances from special guests including friend and top UK Artist, Skepta, not to mention Chip himself, this is a night not to miss.

The album's lead single, CHAMPION, featuring Chris Brown, was an epic re-entry into the music world, hitting number two. With other features including international superstars such as Jamaica's dancehall king Mavado, R&B Queen Keri Hilson, Kalenna Harper of Diddy Dirty Money, acclaimed singer Trey Songz and rising UK rapper and long time CHIPMUNK cohort, Wretch 32, TRANSITION looks set to be a monumental album.

Exuding confidence, a sharp sense of humour, and an astute analytical edge, the appropriately titled TRANSITION, sees CHIPMUNK return lyrically and sonically to his underground roots, with a record that is harder, darker and full of intricate lyrical complexities.

Following an extensive renovation, PROUD2 (fka, matter) provides the perfect scene for CHIPMUNK's return. The complete overhaul of the venue's former industrial-style interior has seen the 3,000 capacity superclub transformed into a decadent, glamorous nightspot with one of the best outdoor terrace bars in The City.

Eliza Doolittle would rather make 'fun music' than bare her soul in her songs

The 'Mr Medicine' singer counts a catchy tune as the most important thing when she is writing tracks, and cites Beyonce Knowles' former group Destiny's Child as an influence on her.

She said: ' was always into pop music, Destiny's Child, songs with catchy music. Even when I was writing when I was younger it wasn't all about expressing myself, it was just about making fun music.

' don't mean that in the sense of it being bubblegum, I mean, I'm not mad about the music of bands like S Club 7, but I do like a great song that becomes popular. If people like a song, then I don't see that as a bad thing.'

Eliza first started writing music at the age of 12 and while she warns she has worked very hard, she has no regrets, and doesn't think she would be where she is today if she hadn't started so early.

She added to the Yorkshire Post newspaper: 'Whenever people used to ask me what I wanted to be when I was older I would always say that I wanted to be a singer. When I was 12 I decided I would do something about it so I started writing songs.

' think that if you want to make it in this business, you have to work really hard. It never really happens overnight.

' think that if I hadn't started when I was so young then it would have taken me a lot longer to get good at it.'

She added to the Daily Record newspaper: 'When I was on my own without kids, I had no trouble. I worked from day to night. I worked 24/7. Now I am different. I am a working mother now.

'To find the right balance is just very difficult. The babies become the most important thing in my life.

'Everything else has had to take a back seat. I am figuring out as I go along with these two angels of mine. And we are doing just fine.'
