Muse star feared 'end of the world'


Matt Bellamy has revealed that he stocked up on baked beans after reading conspiracy theories on the internet.

The Muse frontman was studying the theories as research for his band's new album The Resistance, but began to believe them.

He drove to the local food shop and bought 50 tins of beans, before going to a DIY store to buy an axe.

According to The Sun, Bellamy explained: "I read somewhere a seven-day blockade and the UK would run out of oil.

"Another seven days and we'd run out of food. That's why I bought the beans. The axe would chop firewood."

Bellamy added that his girlfriend had unsuccessfully tried to calm him down.

"She's Italian," he said. "They've seen it all there. The Roman Empire came and went. She's more laid back about history and politics. But to me it all feels so tenuous sometimes, especially in the UK. We are an island and are vulnerable."

Cyrus dad 'tries to be daughter's best friend'


Billy Ray Cyrus has revealed that he tries to be his daughter Miley's "best friend".

Speaking to CNN, the singer admitted that it was difficult balancing being a dad and a star.

"I just take it one step at a time and do the best I can," he said. "My dad was to me what I try to be to Miley, which is somewhat of a best friend.

"I try my best to be a good daddy and if she wants to talk about business or music I try my best to be a good manager. I try to be all of those things because that's what my dad was to me."

Billy Ray added that it was unlikely that Miley would cover his song 'Achy Breaky Heart', but explained that other singers have expressed an interest.

"There are some major stars who want to redo that song," he divulged. "I'm flirting with the idea. There's one cat in particular that if I told you who it was, it would blow your mind. But I've got to keep it under my hat right now."

Lott: 'I'd hate to be in a girlband'


Popstar Pixie Lott has said that she would hate to be in a girlband because she loves attention.

The 18-year-old 'Mama Do' singer said that she couldn't bear to share her stardom with a group of performers.

"I'd hate to be in a girlband, I don't want to share the song - or even the stage," she told FHM.

Meanwhile, the musician also expressed a passion for showing off her legs and revealed that she owns a pair of tight Swarovski crystals-covered pants.

"When I dress up, I like my legs to be free. You don't want everything out. But I definitely like to show off my legs," she said.

"Sometimes I wear a pair of sparkly pants covered in Swarovski crystals. But they're so tight I have to wrestle them on."

Lott releases her new single 'Boys And Girls' on September 7.
