Pop idols to tour
Updated: 19 Apr 2002

Will and Gareth are to tour the UK together.

The duo will be supported by Zoe Birkett on the dates in October.

The three teamed up for a secret gig in Covent Garden in London this afternoon (Friday) where they appeared with the Big Blue Band to perform songs from the ‘Pop Idol’ album.

Will, the winner of 'Pop Idol', said the tour was all about the fans;

"We saw about, I think quarter of a million people during the ‘Pop Idol’ tour and we’re probably going to see about the same number again so it means by the end of the year we’ll have seen about half a million of the public who watched the show and supported us, so that’s what it’s all about really."

The tour dates are as follows;

October 3/4 - London Arena
7/8 - Wembley Arena
12/13 - Sheffield Arena
16/17 - Nottingham Arena
18 - Manchester Evening News Arena
21/22 - Birmingham NEC
25 - Newcastle Telewest Arena
28/29 - Glasgow SECC

Destiny's Michelle goes gospel
Updated: 19 Apr 2002

Destiny's Child star, Michelle Williams, admits she didn't know what she was doing when she started in the group. She reckons she's learnt a lot from being part of Destiny’s Child, although it was tough-going when she first signed on:

"When I first got in the group... there were a lot of tears being shed because I didn't know what the crap I was doing."

Her first solo album, the gospel-themed 'Heart To Yours', hit shops in the US this week. Michelle insists the solo move doesn't mean an imminent Destiny's split. She says the girls are happy to be doing their own thing for a while:

"There wasn't even a question on who would do what, because everybody felt the type of music they wanted to do. And gospel music was definitely what I wanted to do. It's what I grew up doing."

Enrique returns the favour
Updated: 16 Apr 2002

Enrique Iglesias may return the favour Mickey Rourke did for him when the actor appeared in the video for 'Hero'.

Enrique has filmed a cameo in Mickey's new flick, 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico'. This is the follow up to 'Desperado' with Antonio Banderas back once more, joined by Mickey and Johnny Depp.

Although he is taking a risk, Enrique reckons this film can't go wrong: "When you're surrounded by such good actors who are so professional and have been doing this for such a long time, it's only going to make you more professional and be better at it."

Speaking to Radio 1, she explained;

"I always wanted a dog named F****r and also when I got him, he was so little and so cute, he was a really cute little f****r. I’ll take him to the beach and I’ll yell ‘F****r!’, and 50 people’s heads will turn, I’ll be like, ‘not you, not you, not you - him’, and he’ll come running."
