New Music Friday – Pixie Lott

Already a massive star in her native U.K., with one million singles sold, two No. 1 hits, and three No. 1 Airplay records to her credit, soulful pop singer and actress Pixie Lott is ready to unleash her talent Stateside this summer. Her debut U.S. single, “Boys and Girls,” is available at all digital service providers this week via Interscope Records.

The high-energy dance-pop jam “Boys and Girls” is 19-year-old Lott’s second consecutive No. 1 single in the U.K., and it’s just a taste of what’s to come when Lott releases her debut album, Turn It Up, in the U.S. in early 2011. Already certified double-platinum in the U.K., Turn It Up features Lott’s songwriting collaborations with RedOne (Lady Gaga), Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Sia), Toby Gad (Beyonce, Fergie, Cutfather and Jonas Jeburg (Kylie Minogue, Pussycat Dolls), and Kara DioGuardi.

In addition to releasing five singles in the U.K., Lott has scored three No. 1 Airplay tracks. She is the only U.K. or international recording artist of the last 10 years to have three debut singles hit No. 1 on the U.K. Airplay chart. She has also earned three BRIT Award nominations (including Breakthrough Artist) and a Q Award nomination, and won two MTV Europe Music Awards. This summer, Lott has appeared as support on the British leg of Rihanna’s “Last Girl on Earth” Tour.

An actress since the age of 12, Lott stars alongside Lucas Cruikshank in the feature film “Fred: The Movie“, based on the popular YouTube videos, which will premiere on Nickelodeon on September 17th. She has also been cast alongside Bette Midler, Adrien Brody, and Sharon Stone in the film “Sweet Baby Jesus” — a ’70s flashback comedy from writer Steve Blair and directed by Peter Hewitt.

Earlier this year, Billboard selected Lott as one of its 2010 “Faces to Watch.” She has also been featured in Teen Vogue, Interview, and Nylon, which called her “one of the U.K.’s most promising new pop stars.”

Zac Efron Dirty With Topless Model: Photos

Attention all tweens: Zac Efron has been spotted rolling around with a naked chick, and it isn’t his girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens. Don’t worry all you who love the Zac-Nessa duo, Efron was merely participating in a photo shoot to go along with a piece about him in “Interview” magazine. Efron is promoting his two new films “17 Again” and “Me and Orson Welles”.

For some reason, “Interview” asked famed director Gus Van Sant to interview the High School Musical star via phone. Why? I have no idea. So, why not?

The interview isn’t nearly as hot as the pics of Efron that accompany it. In the pics, the Disney star is covered in dirt and rolling around with a topless model by the name of Edita Vileviciute. I wonder how artistic Vanessa thinks the pics are? Since she likes to broadcast pictures of her lady-bits via cell phone, I am sure she really doesn’t care.

In the article, Efron talks about breaking free of his Disney image.

Via Interview:

“You know, everything I’ve done in the past has felt very safe, and it was great for a while, but now I’m looking for a place to take chances. I want to play with things.”

In all honesty, the interview with Van Sant left me flat. I was bored right away when their conversation started over the weather in the Pacific Northwest, and both men bored me to tears once they began discussing their video game strategies. Seriously Efron, just sit there are be pretty, ok? But cheers to you for going Dirrty Christina Aguilera style.
