Katie Holmes: Read About Her Wedding Day
Sunday, 15 June 2008
Reunited Brook and Zane 'taking things slowly'
The couple were reported to have called-off their engagement earlier this month amid reports that Brook was not yet ready to marry.
However the couple are now back together and both attended the world premiere of 'Indiana Jones and the Krystal Skull' at Cannes last night.
Yesterday, the Sunday Mirror reported that Zane sparked the break-up by admitting that he was not ready to marry and have children with Brook.
However, he has since announced that he does want to marry Brook after all, amid reports that she is no longer so keen.
A source told the Sunday Mirror: "Billy has told Kelly they should go ahead with their wedding plans, but Kelly has said 'no' - for the moment anyway.
"She says Billy had made up his mind that he didn't want to get married, and so it doesn't feel right to just suddenly get married after all. Kelly won't wear her engagement ring and is not organising a wedding."

American Apparel and Viva Radio Announce First-Ever Music Sales Collaboration
Tellier's new album Sexuality in Germany
LOS ANGELES, May 22 -- Los Angeles based clothing company
American Apparel is making its first foray into the music world as the sole
distributor of Sebastien Tellier's upcoming release, Sexuality (Record
Makers) for its first two months of release in Germany. The album will be
sold at American Apparel locations throughout Europe beginning May 23, and
online at http://www.americanapparel.net. American Apparel will also create
an exclusive garment for the collaboration, the company announced today.
Viva Radio, American Apparel's in-house radio station, is the driver
behind the partnership with Parisian label Record Makers. All parties
involved seem to agree that the sensual overtones of the album make it a
perfect fit with the ever-provocative retailer.
"The first single from the album is Sexual Sportswear," said Matt

Sebastien's existing body of work is already popular among Viva Radio
contributors and listeners so we're really excited to offer Sexuality in
our stores."
Stephane Elfassi, RecordMakers' label manager, "There are not many
companies that we would partner with. It had to really feel right, and with
American Apparel it does."
Tellier's upcoming release has been gaining wide-ranging critical
acclaim, from Pitchfork, The Guardian, NME and Vice UK. Sexuality ---
produced by Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo (Daft Punk) -- will be available at
the American Apparel stores on CD and vinyl LP, alongside 7" and 12"
versions of Divine, the album's second single.
Sexuality's release date coincides with Sebastien Tellier's
participation in Eurovision Song Contest 2008, which has stirred
controversy among the competition's traditionalists. Representing France,
Tellier is expected to sing in French, but will be performing Divine mostly
in English.

Amy Winehouse - Winehouse Makes Goddaughter A Video Star
Troubled British star AMY WINEHOUSE is determined to turn her 12-year-old goddaughter into a star - and has exhibited her talents in a new internet video.
The Rehab hitmaker recorded a duet version of Alicia Keys' hit track If I Ain't Got You with Dionne Bromfield at a secret location in London.
The five-minute recording appears on video sharing website YouTube.com.
Bromfield, who is being sponsored by Winehouse to go to a singing camp in America during the summer holidays, said after the five-minute recording: "It was great - she's a fabulous teacher.
"I don't care what anyone says about her, she's really good with me. I loved singing the Alicia Keys song - it's one of my favourites. It was Amy who wanted me to do the video. She keeps on saying she thinks I've got a really great voice."
Winehouse, 24, adds, "She's better than I was at her age. She's got an amazing voice.
"I just think people should know about Dionne - she's already being signed up by a music label and it won't be long before people know about her."
It is the second video featuring Winehouse to appear on the website. At the weekend (17-18May08), Winehouse and Pete Doherty appeared in video footage where she used mice to pass on a message to her incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
