"I’m A Celebrity: Dougie Poynter talks about Mark Wright bromance and Lara Carew-Jones secret wedding!
Popstar and jungle king Dougie Poynter loved his time on I’m A Celeb and got especially close with a certain someone. Speaking about his close relationship with Mark Wright, the McFly star told The Sun’s TV Buzz:
“Everyone was really lovely, and of course everyone was joking about my ‘bromance’ with Mark Wright, weirdly we didn’t talk about girls much there – if you’re hungry your libido falls out your pants.”
But even though he was tight-lipped about girls, Dougie did talk about his rehab experience:
“I didn’t mean to talk about it but I’m glad I did, it got rid of a lot of inner demons: I’m not ashamed of it,” he explained.
Dougie admitted the hardest thing about the show was being away from his girlfriend Lara Carew-Jones.
“We met about six months ago when I commissioned her to do a painting for me, we were meant to meet for an hour and eight hours later we were still chatting,” he added.
Dougie also revealed the truth behind the marriage rumours saying:
“There’s a rumour we’re getting married and I’m not sure where that came from. Of course I’d like to get married in the future. Will I marry Lara? Definitely. I’d quite like a Star Wars-themed wedding.”
Not only was Dougie the king of the jungle, his McFly bandmate Harry Judd was named king of Strictly Come Dancing. Dougie teased, “Harry and I were joking about both doing reality shows and I pointed out that I had to eat a penis, whereas all he had to do is dance around in sequins.” Both are hoping to win awards at the National Television awards, and they will certainly celebrate in style if they win: “Every time McFly win something we strip naked and post a picture, so maybe I’ll mix it up and Tweet a picture of me fully clothed.”"

"The Wanted and McFly are doing a gig together!
What do you get when you cross one hot current boyband with one former boyband and a Strictly Come Dancing Trophy and a Jungle crown?
We may have given the game away. We also may have just confused you. We may have confused ourselves. What we were trying to say in one big breathless squeal of excitement is that The Wanted and those gorgeous McFly boys have announced they will be performing, together!
Sorry, we had to run round the room in excitement there.
The huge concert will be dual-headlined by the two bands (we get it, one of them is not better than the other, they are equally lovely) for Blackpool's brand new Tower Festival Headland on Sunday 24th June. Right opposite Blackpool tower, where Harry was only a month ago.
It's a while away but these grey days have us dreaming of summer and this is an event that we really like thinking about. The Wanted have been recently touring the US with Justin Bieber, achieving great early success over there with Max even tweeting this morning:
"Cant believe whats happened to me in the last 3 years....from nothing to touring america.... Thanks so much... Doin it for you guys x"
In the meantime, the McFly boys have been biding their time in the background. That is until recently, when Dougie became King of the Jungle on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here at the same time as Harry became the Strictly Come Dancing champion. They are also embarking on a UK tour and we should be able to hear some new material from the guys - we've been waiting a while!
All in all, a seaside weekend break with these boys thrown in, doesn't sound half bad. Although you'd better make sure you get in early if you want a ticket. The tickets for McFly's upcoming tour sold out within a few days!"

"Fillies’ favourites McFly to play concert at York Races
CHART-TOPPING band McFly will play at York Races this summer, it has been announced.
The group will perform after the racing action on Saturday, July 28 as part of the Music Showcase Weekend at the track.
McFly’s Harry Judd said: “We’ll be in York for our sold-out gig at the Barbican in April, so we’re very excited to be back in the city, performing at the racecourse in July.
“We really enjoy playing racecourses and, because we’ve heard there’s always an incredible atmosphere at York Races, we are especially looking forward to performing.”

Strictly Come Dancingin kiertue alkoi tässä muutama päivä sitten, ja siitä on kirjoitettu paaaaljon lehtijuttuja. Tässä yksi kokonaisuudessaan ja loppuihin linkit:

"Strictly Come Dancing live tour 2012 kicks off with array of revealing outfits

Strictly Come Dancing stars Chelsee Healey, Anita Dobson and Harry Judd are limbering up for this year's Strictly live tour, which means lots of sparkle and lots of skin on show at the Birmingham Indoor Arena.
The Strictly Come Dancing tour, which sees winner Harry Judd join the likes of Chelsee Healey, Robbie Savage, Nancy Dell'Olio, Lulu and Anita Dobson on a 5-week tour of the UK, kicks off today with the first performance taking place in Birmingham.
The stars of the show, which was a hit in the ratings for the BBC when it aired throughout autumn 2011, were seen rehearsing and larking about in a brand new array of sparkly, sequined outfits.
Former EastEnders star Anita told fans of the show that 'everyone does the same' throughout the tour, with each couple performing two dance numbers plus a couple of group dances.
But all eyes are on Harry Judd, who as the reigning champion of Strictly Come Dancing appears to have a new-found confidence.
He said: 'It feels very good coming into the Strictly tour as champion. I was thinking about that before the final; I thought "I know I'm doing the tour and I'd love to be the reigning champion on the tour", so I did it and it feels good.'
Speaking about what he has been doing since his Strictly win in December, Judd said he has enjoyed a rest at his parents' house and insists that the victory hasn't changed his outlook on life.
'I kind of just went home after the final and went to my mum and dad's, and sat and watched TV and just did normal things for about two or three weeks,' he said.
'My life hasn't really changed. I'm just being as normal as possible and that's how I like to lead my life really.'
Last year, it was revealed that husband-and-wife team Ola and James Jordan, who are professional dancers on the BBC series and have appeared in other Strictly tours, had not been invited onto this year's tour.
James - who clashed with head judge Len Goodman a number of times onscreen - wrote on Twitter: 'Myself and Ola will definitely NOT be doing the Strictly tour. Just received an E-MAIL to say we are not needed.'
Strictly insiders believe the pair may have been axed from the spectacle because of the 33-year-old dancer's disagreements with Len throughout the series."

Eilen oli Iso-Britanniassa National Television Awardsit (NTA) ja Dougie oli siellä Mark Wrightin kanssa ottamassa vastaan I'm a Celebrity.. Get Me Out Of Here!:n voittaman palkinnon "Paras tosi-tv -ohjelma" -kategoriassa. Tästä ei ikävä kyllä ole videota, mutta löysin poikien haastattelun:


Lopuksi vielä hieman uutisia Amerikan mantereelta: Gleessä Artietä näyttelevä Kevin McHale sanoi Huffington Postille haluavansa laulaa McFlyta, ja haastattelija ehdotti All About You'tä. Kevin itse asiassa mainitsi, että hän ja Darren Criss (Blaine) ovat jo puhuneet kappaleen esittämisestä, koska Darrenkin pitää McFlysta. Toivotaan, että pojat saavat toivonsa läpi! :) Voit lukea koko artikkelin täältä.
Billboard myös ennusti, että uusi brittiläisen musiikin aalto voisi olla tuloillaan Amerikassa. Artikkeliin on nostettu esille erityisesti One Direction, Girls Aloud, The Wanted ja tietenkin McFly. Artikkelin voit lukea täältä.

Muutama artikkeli

McFly-rintamalla on nyt hieman hiljaista, kun bändi oli kirjoittamisreissullaan. Muutaman artikkelin kuitenkin löysin:

"Saturday 9th June - McFly
Newmarket Racecourses is delighted to confirm rumours that the mighty McFly will be playing at the July Course on Saturday 9th June.
Famed for hit singles 'It's All About You', 'Shine A Light' and 'Five Colours in Her Hair', McFly will bring their lively rock pop to Newmarket after a fantastic afternoon's racing.
We're very excited to be performing at Newmarket Racecourses this summer," said Harry Judd, "We always enjoy playing racecourses and we are expecting a great atmosphere, so we're really looking forward to it!"
McFly truly established their position as the nation's favourite band when two of the boys became champions in the UK's biggest TV shows. In December, Dougie Poynter was crowned king of the jungle in 'I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here', then Harry was crowned champion of Strictly Come Dancing 2011. He impressed the judging panel and won the hearts of the nation as he glided across the dance floor with Aliona.
Adrian Simpson, Sales and Marketing Director for Newmarket Racecourses, said: "I am thrilled to confirm McFly will be playing at one of our Summer Saturdays Live".
"This event is an incredible opportunity for families to come along and enjoy an afternoon of racing, followed by an open air concert with a top British band".
"With McFly bringing their infectious music to Newmarket this really will be a fun filled raceday not to be missed."
"We are expecting this to be a sell out summer event, so we recommend that you buy your tickets early, so that you don't miss out. "
The day kicks off at approximately 11am with great horseracing and will then be followed by an early evening performance from McFly."
Newmarket Racecourses, asiasta kirjoitti myös radiokanava Heart ja Newmarket Weekly News.

"McFly’s stay on Anglesey to write new material
MEMBERS of one of the UK’s most popular bands used Anglesey’s coastline as inspiration for their new material.
Three of pop-rock band McFly reportedly stayed in Rhoscolyn over the weekend to begin writing new songs for their next album. They have enjoyed chart hits with songs such as It’s All About You and Obviously.
Dougie Poynter, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones were spotted in Tesco Holyhead by several lucky shoppers on Friday afternoon.
The group kept fans up to date by posting photos and comments on Twitter throughout their trip.
This is not the first time a successful UK band has taken advantage of the island’s shoreline recently: in November, boyband One Direction visited Trearddur Bay, Rhosneigr and Aberffraw to film footage which would be used during their concerts.
Over the weekend, lead singer Tom posted that the writing process was “going well”, stating: “Up til 4am working on songs. Late nights, late starts. We’re on the creative time zone.
“I love my job. It’s 1am, we’re making awesome music whilst eating double stuffed Oreos dunked in Galaxy milkshake.”
However, drummer Harry Judd was unable to join his bandmates as he had other commitments.
Harry, who was recently crowned Strictly Come Dancing Champion 2011, spoke of his bandmates’ Anglesey trip during a television appearance over the weekend.
Appearing on BBC magazine show, Something for the Weekend on Sunday, he said: “The other three are away at the moment in Wales doing a little writing trip, but because I’ve got Strictly tour rehearsals tomorrow, I couldn’t join them.”
He said the other three were “writing some new stuff” and agreed the band was stronger than ever following a break, which saw himself and his fellow bandmate winning two popular reality TV shows: Dougie was named King of the Jungle in ITV1’s I’m a Celebrity."
The Online Mail - Bangor and Anglesey News

"McFly inspired by Anglesey trip

BRIT award winning pop band McFly have been enjoying a stay on Anglesey where they have come to write and record new material.
Three members of the chart-topping band are believed to be staying in Rhoscolyn seem impressed with their new surroundings.
Singer Tom Fletcher has been using Twitter to document their stay and enthuse about the band's Anglesey writing retreat.
Tom posted a picture of an ANglesey beach and twitted: "Possibly just witnessed the best sunset of my life."
The band seem equally impressed with the progress of their song-writing, which is going ahead in the absence of drummer Harry Judd who is fulfilling other Strictly Come Dancing commitments
Tom said: "Just going to bed after writing an absolute smash of a song. Sounds so awesome!"
The band have reportedly been spotted by fans in Tesco Holyhead over the week.
Sam Jones, of Bangor, said: "A bunch of people I know have just seen McFly in Holyhead Tesco." said Bangor man Sam Jones.
McFly have enjoyed a boost in publicity and interest recently as bassist Dougie Poynter was crowned King of the Jungle in the latest series of ITV's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and bandmate Harry Judd was crowned winner of last year's 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
McFly are not the only chart-toppers to visit the island recently as X Factor group One Direction were reported to be in the area last year, shooting footage for a video in Trearddur Bay and Rhosneigr."

"McFly's Harry has spa quality
STRICTLY star Harry Judd waltzed down to Thorpe’s Lifehouse Country Spa for a well deserved rest before quickstepping off for the show’s national dance tour.
Harry, who is the drummer with boy band McFly, danced his way to the coveted Strictly Come Dancing title just before Christmas.
The Essex boy said: “It’s a lovely area and my dad used to own a beach hut along the seafront.
“I used to play with the Frinton Tennis Club in mixed doubles and actually won a tournament there when I was younger.”
Harry came to Thorpe for a chill-out break with violinist girlfriend Izzy Johnston, who recently left classical band Escala.
She has been supporting Harry every step of the way in Strictly but said she missed him during filming.
“It was lovely just to actually see Harry,” said Izzy.
“We have been in the Strictly bubble for the last couple of months and it has been lovely to finally spend Christmas with family and now totally relax.”

Haluatko miljonääriksi, McFlylle uusi ohjelma? + kirjoitusreissu

Tässä on tuo uuden vuoden Haluatko miljonääriksi -jakso. Tomin ja Dougien osa tulee n. ajassa 41.55:

Harry myös vieraili Something For the Weekend -ohjelmassa, ja jutteli Strictlystä - mistäs muustakaan. Ikävä kyllä en löytänyt parempaa laatua ja haastattelu ei ole kokonaan tässä..


Tekeekö McFly uuden ohjelman?:

"McFly to front Saturday night variety show?
McFly have been approached by both the BBC and ITV to front their own Saturday night variety show.
Both the BBC and ITV have reportedly expressed an interest in the 'Star Girl' hitmakers - made up of Dougie Poynter, Harry Judd, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones - in the hope of capitalising on the success of Harry's victory on 'Strictly Come Dancing' and Dougie being crowned King of the Jungle on 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!'.
An insider told the Daily Mail newspaper: "There has been significant interest from the main broadcasters and a number of production companies about a show."
Harry has previously claimed none of the other members of McFly could have been as successful on 'I'm A Celeb' as Dougie, as his bandmate's "funny and quirky" qualities would always win over viewers.
He said: "None of us could have done 'I'm A Celebrity' but Dougie. He's the shyest, but once you get to know him, he's so funny and quirky. He's very endearing as a person.
"'Strictly' suits me because I work hard, and I'm probably the best dancer out of all of us."
STV

McFly on parhaillaan toisella kirjoitusmatkallaan Walesissa. Pojat ovat tähän mennessä paljastaneet kirjoitusprosesseistaan seuraavat asiat: he ovat kirjoittaneet stadium rock -kappaleen, nopean ja äänekkään laulun seksistä, suuren rock-balladin, joka saa kovimmatkin miehet itkemään ja Dougien mukaan yhdellä laululla on "gigantic radio active balls of magical steel". Odotan innolla. :D

Hyvää uutta vuotta 2012 + lehtijuttuja ja muutama video!

Haluan heti ensimmäiseksi kiittää viime vuodesta. Minusta tuntuu, että vihdoinkin blogin pitäminen alkaa kannattamaan, kun kävijämäärätkin ovat nykyään erittäin suuret. Kiitos kaikille ja toivotaan, että vuodesta 2012 tulee vieläkin suotuisampi! ♥
Sitten haluan pyytää anteeksi pitkää päivitystaukoa, mutta minulla on ollut ongelmia tietokoneeni kanssa. Tälläkin hetkellä käytän puolirikkinäistä ikivanhaa kapinetta, joten päivitysten tekeminen on hieman hankalampaa. Yritän kuitenkin pitää teidät ajan tasalla :) Tässä kaikki asiat viimeisen viikon ajalta.

Lopuksi vielä pieni video Dougiesta ja Tomista Englannin Haluatko Miljonääriksi? -ohjelman backstagelta:

Itse ohjelmassa ei kuulemma näytetty poikia kuin muutaman minuutin ajan, joten kukaan ei ole vaivautunut laittamaan sitä Youtubeen. Jos asiaan kuitenkin tulee muutos, laitan sen tietenkin tänne.
