Dougie & Frankie getting married?!

Dougie Poynter and Frankie Sandford may have only just got back together, but apparently wedding bells are in the air.

According to the Daily Star, friends of the pair reckon it’s only a matter of days before they pair get engaged.

The friend reportedly told them: “They split up because their hectic schedules meant they were finding it hard to find time to see each other.”

“But while they were apart they spent most of the time on the phone to each other. They realised they can’t live apart any longer.”

The pair had been together for over a year before breaking up for six weeks.

The friend added: “They plan to get engaged and hope to be married before Christmas.

“They are determined not to let work get in the way.”

Both are currently working on new material with their bands – Dougie with McFly, and Frankie with The Saturdays.

Dougie & Frankie ARE back together

Frankie Sandford has confirmed that she and Dougie Poynter are back together.

The Saturdays girl and the McFly boy are giving it another go after splitting up earlier this year.

Since their split the pair have been linked to various other people – Frankie to Aston Merrygold (JLS), Calum Best and even Cheryl Cole’s husband Ashley Cole, and Dougie to Frankie’s ex band mate and 2009 X Factor wannabe Stacy McClean.

Well now Frankie has confirmed to Mirror.co.uk that they ARE back together.

Frankie reportedly said: “I am back with Dougie but we’re taking it slow. I couldn’t look at the pictures of me crying in the Mayfair Hotel and it’s so embarrassing to know people have seen them. Everyone keeps saying how pleased they are we’re back together.”

Dougie spotted!

It’s not often you bump into one of the members of McFly whilst out in Camden, but it happened to one of our Fleckers this weekend.

On Friday night, our spy was out partying at a rock club when Dougie appeared looking rather worse for wear!

He blended in well in the crowd, ordered one drink, and then went home! However he did look like he had been drinking the night away already. A few girls approached him and screamed telling him how much they loved his band. Dougie’s reply was simply a nod, whilst he was swaying from side to side.

Ah, even the rich and famous like to get drunk and sweat it out in a hot rock club. Keep it up Dougie!

Dougie & Frankie holding hands

Frankie Sandford and Dougie Poynter have been papped holding hands on a night out.

The pair split up earlier this year, but met up for the first time earlier this month.

They have been spotted together several times since, most recently leaving Punk nightclub in Soho, hand in hand.

Tom hurt his ankle

Check out this photo of Tom Fletcher’s injured ankle! Ouch!

Poor Tom! The McFly boy was playing football tonight and twisted his ankle.

He tweeted: “Oh dear…twisted my ankle at football”.

He described his ankle as “slightly swollen” but it looks pretty damn swollen to us – we think that maybe he was being sarcastic.

So what does the night hold for poor Tom? A lengthy wait for an X-ray.

Feel better soon Tom.

Update: Tom tweeted to say that the doctor said his injury was a “very bad sprain” and also that she took the mick out of his star tattoo.

McFly clothing line?

A lot of recently taken photographs of McFly trying on different outfits are circulating the web. Fans speculate this might be one of the always talked about ’secret projects’ and has might have something to do with a McFly clothing line.

It was already one of the possibilities; Tom and Dougie frequently speak of their secret projects on Twitter. A clothing line might be a possibility, since Dougie talked about how he was getting more into the fashion scene.

At the beginning of this week McFly attended a shoot, a photoshoot highly likely. They wouldn’t let anything slip, but for one picture of the shoot itself. Dougie tweeted about how many clothes and ‘props’ he brought so, putting the pieces together, some McFly fans are convinced it has something to do with a clothing line.

Meanwhile McFly’s album is nearly finished (finally), and the band are busy rehearsing their new songs and going to the gym (to buff up for new album cover?). We can’t wait to hear something new from them!


Read the article here, and also put in a vote on the "Would you buy McClothing?" poll.



ps: personally we think it (the clothes) also could be just for a photoshoot or for a music video for one or two songs from their new album, but we'll see.. Hopefully we'll know the truth soon enough!

Harry no longer single?

Earlier we heard rumours about Harry being single and so on, but according to Flecking Records, this might not be true any longer.. Seems like they may have found back to eachother, something we're happy to hear!

Here's what the article said:

We’ve been writing about Frankie and Dougie so much, we completely lost sight of the other McFly lads and their love lives. It seems that it’s not just Dougie who has been caught up in relationship horror…

Drummer Harry Judd is very keen on his privacy and it has surely helped him stay out of the public eye, unlike bandmembers like Dougie and Danny who seem to be talked about constantly. Harry was forever dating Izzy Johnston, violinist in group Escala, until December last year. Rumours about a break up never really reached the surface, until secret-spoiler Dallas Austin wrote about it in one of his blogs. April 2nd Dallas wrote, “Harry didn’t get to come last time, some bullshit about a broken heart or something but he is in Atlanta in full effect.”

So after assuming the couple had broken up, fans were disturbed when a few pictures of last weekend popped up on the internet. Photos of a barbecue at Danny’s house showed Izzy getting close with Harry, not to mention Frankie getting close with Dougie again!

Uh-Oh… Busted!! Guess what Dougie is hiding behind his back?

When we caught up with McFly bassist Dougie Poynter strolling through Soho in London the other night we couldn’t help but notice he was keen to hide something behind his back, but what was it? Was it…
A – A bunch of roses

B – A cheeky fag

C – A grot mag

Oh decisions, decisions, decisions….


The answer was unfortunately not ‘C’ it was of course ‘B’, he was trying to avoid being papped smoking as he left Punk nightclub with a male pal. How boring.

Pixie spammed with willies thanks to Dougie

Pixie Lott has been bombarded with porn, and it’s all Dougie Poynter’s fault.

“It was disgusting. Dougie from McFly started it off by asking his fans to send me dirty snaps,” she told the Mirror.

“They totally got me. I clicked open these pictures on my Twitter account and it was all a bit weird. Some people were really extreme and I just thought, ‘Ok I’m not going to look any more.’ I’ve seriously got to get McFly back.”

This is all because Dougie Tweeted “Everyone send pictures of male genitalia to @pixiesongs” last month, followed by an @reply to Pixie asking “Did you get some lovely pictures of willys sent to you?”

Pixie did Tweet Dougie back at the time, and luckily she took it as it was probably intended – as a joke.

She replied “Thanks yes I got a few delights that I refrained from viewing haha”

We wonder what her revenge will be…

Tom about McFly's future

We’re all excited for McFly’s next release, even more so because the details are few and far between. Well today Tom has mentioned it again…

When you’re stuck in traffic it gives you time to think, and that’s exactly what McFly’s Tom Fletcher did today.

Sitting in the jam, Tom thought about the band, the last album, the next album… and then shared his thoughts with his 195,000+ army of Twitter followers.

“I know it’s been almost 2 years since [Radio:Active] but it’s going to be worth the wait!”

Before adding in a somewhat cheesy fashion: “Over the next few months you’ll find out what we’ve been preparing for you. The future for Mcfly is about to change… and Mcfly are about to change the future.”

Georgia happy Danny was booted off

We’re kind of getting used to the idea of Danny Jones not being liked enough by the British public, but it’s still a weird scenario to us. We would’ve loved Danny to continue on the TV show Popstar To Operastar and maybe even see him win in the end, but it seems a certain girlfriend was relieved when Danny was booted off the reality show.

Very understandably, Danny’s full-on girlfriend Georgia Horsley, said, “I’ve got my Danny back.”

We could imagine how his opera practice, his McFly work, taking care of two dogs and working out got in the way of spending time with Georgia. She was hoping to make up for lost time by going on a holiday, but sadly she can wave bye-bye to that.

Dallas Austin, American songwriter, record producer and musician, has worked with McFly a couple of months ago when Tom, Danny and Dougie went to Atlanta. Tomorrow Dallas is catching a plane to London and will spend some time with the lads again to finish off some songs and perhaps start some new ones. McFly’s new album is set to launch July – August 2010.

McFlys secret projects

All of this is written by Kel @SuperRecords, so all credit goes to her.


DON'T READ THIS IF YOU WANT IT TO BE A SURPRISE.
MOST OF IT IS GUESSWORK SO DON'T GO ROUND TELLING PEOPLE IT'S FACT BECAUSE YOU'LL JUST END UP DISAPPOINTED. AND I WON'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT! :)


What do we know about McFlys' secret projects?
According to an interview that Danny did with Heat, Tom has a secret project and Dougie has a secret project.
I think Tom's project is something to do with a musical. I know in a Japanese magazine last year he mentioned doing a musical, or something to do with a musical. Or I think maybe Tom's working on a soundtrack for a film/TV show. There were some rumours on EMI Spain's website (the music company EMI helps distribute McFly's music in Spain) about the lads doing something to with the movie 'Dragonball' (I don't know is this is the film series based on Dragonball Z) by Fox film company. Apparently Fox have said that they're not working on any projects with McFly. However, Dallas Austin is doing some sort of music driven film for Warner Brothers film company (according to Wikipedia). Coincidence?

I have a hunch, and I could be completely wrong, that Dougie's secret project is nothing to do with music. I think it's to do with a clothing line. I heard something ages ago that Dougie was supposed to working with Hurley (might've been another company) to have his own range (like Lily Allen did with New Look). This could be true because in 2008 Dougie and Harry were like walking advertisements for Hurley, they wore their hoodies and T-shirts so much! And as much as Dougie's come on in terms of songwriting and growing more confident as a performer (remember how shy he was at the start of McFly?) I can't see him wanting to do a solo music project. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe I'm doubting his abilities, but I think he prefers to have his bandmates behind him with stuff like that.

Dougie said on 31st January 'That is all my friends. Secret project number 1 will be in a few weeks. Ba mush ba x'

I think another project that the band is doing as a group is something for Sports Relief. This would explain the football Mondays, all the running they've been doing. If they are doing something for Sports Relief, it would explain why they've had to be so secretive about it. Let's be honest, charity is the only reason Dougie would do anything like exercise haha! And it also kinda matches their timing for a comeback? Ant, Frankie, Gi and Carrie have also tweeted about running. Family affair or what?

Before the UK tour McFly had recorded drums, bass and most of the guitar on 12 songs (although Tom later said 9 songs on twitter, he told me 12 on myspace), but with the vocals to records after the tour. They or Tom at least were still working on the lyrics during the tour because they hadn't even been finished! They'd written and recorded the music side but not the words. But as we know Tom was ill with tonsilitis after UCATTIP so I assumed the studio sessions got called off to preserve his voice for South America. McFly still hadn't finished writing lyrics by the time they got back to the UK. Tom said they had another big bunch of songs to start recording mid summer 2009.

According to an article on Digital Spy some time last year, the album is supposed to have a science-fiction theme. Dougie said, "It will absolutely kick ass - it is going to blow your heads off. The whole concept of the album is really cool. It's more the story we've been working on, think McFly meets The Forbidden Planet."

But from what I heard, halfway through 2009, apparently McFly found a new 'sound', one that they said was better than the one that they had been working on, so they changed musical 'paths' and decided to work on that new style. I don't know if this means that they completely abandoned the songs that they had been working on, or whether they've managed to apply their new style to them or what. I think this might actually be true though because I know that a lot of the stuff that they're doing in 2010 has been delayed by a couple of months. The rumoured UK tour for example was supposed to be happening in March. But the fans that met McFly while they were in America with Dallas said the lads said the tour was now happening in October.

There was a rumour that the album was going to be called 'Take That'. Tom said this isn't true. Unfortunately. I would actually pay McFly to name their album that.

There's a new song called 'Hotel On A Hill' and it's mostly piano.

There were two oldish rumours are that McFly were doing a rap with a proper rapper from America. At first I thought this was a load of rubbish but then they hooked up with Taio Cruz (who I know is British). McFly have written ten tracks with him and are hoping that he's going to produce one. And then they went across to America to work with Dallas Austin. Dallas and maybe his friend Naz Tokio, are supposed to flying across to the UK to work on four or five songs. It's hopefully going to be this month (February) but we'll see. Now that Danny's out of Popstar To Operastar it means he's completely free pretty much to work solely on McFly stuff. Two of the rumoured tracks done with Dallas are called 'Foolish' and 'Mona Lisa', but that's just speculation based on their conversations on twitter. Also that one of the 'Folloish' song lyrics might be '...foolish to let misery...'

The other oldish rumour was that McFly were trying to do a duet with a female solo singer. Apparently the management wanted Kelly Clarkson but it wasn't looking like it was going to happen. I've heard nothing more on that.

Danny's housemate Ant Brant, Tom's sister Carrie and Danny's sister Vicky have been in the studio with Tom, Danny and Jason. I don't know if this is for their own solo stuff or if that's anything to do with McFly.

Here's some other stuff that Tom's said about album tracks:
1. One of the songs begins with the word/abbreviation 'I've'. Which is an awful lot to go on.
2. One of the songs is apparently the greatest love song ever. Tom said it was at least until he started singing on it ha ha
3. One of the songs is like Star Girl, in that it's about female aliens but it's a lot more subtle than Star Girl.
4. And there's also the 'feel-good' song of summer.
5. Another song according to @tommcfly - '...It's about doing bad things and leading people down the weird, dark, scary path...'

The album is supposed to be inspired by Michael Jackson and Prince. The Daily Star revealed this 'exclusively' on 5th February 2010. Unfortunately it was also in another Japanese interview that Tom did, which was published back in August 2009. Exclusive my fanny.

Danny wants to work with Meat Loaf

Danny Jones wants to work with Meat Loaf… well it’s no more surprising than McFly working with Taio Cruz.

The McFly guitarist has apparently become close to the show judge in a series of backstage chats – according to The Sun.

Danny said: “Meat Loaf’s a lovely guy. He always comes and talks to me.

“It’d be amazing to work with him – how cool would that be? Meat, can I be on your new album please?”

“I’d like to see him do some kind of opera single. I believe he is opera-trained. It would be awesome.”

Danny also spoke about his band mates. He reckons Harry Judd could do opera – but isn’t so sure about Dougie Poynter or Tom Fletcher.

He said of this week’s workout: “Harry was the best, I truly believe he could be an opera singer.

“He properly got into it. Dougie struggled and Tom couldn’t roll his Rs so he’s got no chance.”

We’d love to see Danny duet with Meat Loaf, can someone make this happen please?

Danny booted off Popstar To Operastar

What an evening! The TV show Popstar To Operastar is still all over Twitter as we speak – it’s in the worldwide trending topics, in the UK trending topics 3 times and in the Brazilian trending topics twice! But this wasn’t such a happy evening for everybody…


It’s quite obvious he was the most popular contestant, but reason for the Twitter popstar-to-operastar-mania has to do with the loss of Danny Jones. That’s right, Danny, McFly, was voted off the show tonight. After being in the bottom-two last week, Danny managed to make it through another week because all of the judges wanted Danny to stay. This week, it was Marcella vs Danny and after judges voted, it was a tie.

In the end, Marcella had the most votes and Danny was voted off. But with a smile and a dance with Alan Titmarsh! He knows how to make an exit, that’s for sure!

Are you gutted Danny had to leave? We’re pretty sure the show will lose many of its younger viewers.

Will you keep watching the show now that Danny is gone?

Danny's last round in PSTOS (Videos)

McFly are working on a new sound

McFly are ditching their guitar sound for a “Prince meets Jacko” style re-invention.


“We’ve got the material and are building up the McFly massacre.

“The album’s an absolute killer. It’s got a Prince and Michael Jackson influence.” Danny told the Daily Star.

McFly are creating their new album with Taio Cruz and producer Dallas Austin.

Danny added: “Taio’s a really cool guy. We’ve written tracks with him and we’re now trying to get him to produce one. It was awesome working with Dallas as he’s a bit of a party boy – he thinks he’s our fifth member.”
“He’s coming over to the UK to produce four or five of the songs.”

We can’t wait to hear what they come up with!

Danny answers YOUR questions!

Earlier Heat posted a short article where fans could send in questions to Danny, and they would pick out some for him to answer. Down below is the outcome of it, a new article with the answers.

Danny Jones is used to being on a stage surrounded by his three McFly bandmates and clutching a guitar, so it must be an odd transition for him to step out onto the stage on his lonesome every Friday night and sing opera. Still, being Danny, he's taken it all in his stride and is actually doing an amazing job. When we met him yesterday for a chat at the London Studios he looked exhausted, yes, but full of enthusiasm for the challenge ahead. "I'm dreaming opera," he admitted. "It's taken over my life!" We also found out a tiny bit of info about those secret projects, but Danny wasn't giving much away. "The album will be summer time," he said. "There's a couple of secret projects. Tom's got one, Dougie's got one. I need to get one! Harry's just learning his drums every day, that's his secret project." Danny's the only one of the Popstar To Operastar contestants to have screaming girls in the audience every week, and he can't thank his fans enough. As promised, we asked him as many of your questions as we could, even though most of them were about him getting naked! Read the full interview below and make sure you tune in to watch Danny in action tonight. You might even spot an excited heatworlder or two in the audience...


NickyLovesMcFly asks: What's the hardest thing about singing opera?

The language, definitely. It's getting the placement and the Italian that are my weaknesses.

skyfullofstars asks: What's it like backstage on PSTOS? Does everyone get along well or is there a bit of rivalry?

At first, we used to all get a bit of lunch and have dinner together, but as it's got more serious we stay in our dressing rooms and practice. It's getting more intense now. Everyone's really nice, it's fine.

McFrankie asks: What's your definition of swoon?

Jude Law is swoon. He walks past girls and they're like...phwoar. I didn't know what swoon meant at first.

PascaleDeBom asks: Do you think you're achieving your goal to make opera music cool?

YES! If you go and see a good opera it's like watching an amazing musical. Opera seems really intimidating. I really wanna go, I'm going to start going. Maybe they'll ask me to be in one...?

McFloor asks: If you could have a super-power for one day, what would it be?

This week...to be the best opera singer ever! [Laughs.] I'd like to be the strongest man in the world, but to go and break up fights. I'd go into riots and go...'NO'. I'd love to have the power to just stop a thousand men.

PascaleDeBom asks: Does having the other McFly boys in the audience every week distract you?

When I'm singing I don't really look because I'm in the moment, but around the show I always look at them and give them high-fives and stuff. It's quite funny.

skyfullofstars asks: What's the one thing that makes you smile?

The boys trying to sing opera! They are funny - and they're all rubbish. I didn't have enough time to teach them, really. I just put them through the paces and what I've been through, like, fish impressions and stuff [stops and opens and closes his mouth like a fish]. You have to do a lot of that in opera.

paulaamorimf asks: How is your throat doing with all the singing?

I am feeling a bit under the weather today. I'm getting aches, I've got a sore throat and my ears are blocked. I dunno what's wrong with me. I think I'm just getting a bit run down.

Loreeen asks: What are the 5 things you can't live without?

Something I can do without is my dog s****ing on my kitchen floor! He just doesn't get it. Wee outside, dude! Anyway, what are the five things I can't live without? Music! Family...erm...my toaster. Sex, because that's natural for a man. And...Vanilla lattes.
heatworld: Not McFly?!
Oh...s**t! Can I have six? Or McFly and sex on the same line.

RebeccaMasters asks: You're pretty busy at the moment, rehearsing for PSTOS and keeping up with McFly and arranging future plans. How do you manage to cope with it all?

It's quite tough, actually. I try to fit in McFly because we've just started to record. You're up at 9, you're here till 5, then you go home and have dinner and by that time it's like 6/7 and you just sort of wanna chill. I've not even been going to the gym or anything, which I wanna do. I did fit in football in the other night.

NikiNoo asks: How do you get your teeth so perfect?

Teeth?! They're not perfect. I've got a little invisible brace, can you see it? [Opens his mouth wide so we can peer in.]
heatworld: Um, no...

StarGirlALA asks: What's the thing you're most proud of?

The new McFly album. We've got the materials and now we're just building it. The McFly massacre!

ShaunaLee asks: Describe your PSTOS experience in one word.

Interesting...

carolineeilovemcfly asks: Will McFly get naked on the next tour? PLEASE!!

We'll only get naked if I get time to go to the gym before the tour. The boys have been working out without me while I've been doing the opera. I need to catch up - I've lost my six-pack!

LetitSnow asks: Would you turn a McFly song into an opera-McFly song?

It would be quite cool, that. With this new secret project, there's going to be opportunities for stuff like that. For stuff like that it's going to be great.

keetkeets asks: How much would you charge if I were to hire you to sing opera?


I dunno. Because I'm out of my comfort zone I'd have to double my price. Depends how many songs, too. Hiring the whole band would cost 90 grand...in cash!

Danny, Popstar to Operastar article

After the public vote placed him and McFly singer Danny Jones in the bottom two, all four judges – Katherine Jenkins, Meat Loaf, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Villazon – decided Danny deserved to stay another week.

Following the decision, an emotional Jimmy said: ‘My opera dreams have just begun. What a blast this has been. I’m going to go home and see my beautiful wife and four kids – they are opera to me.

‘Opera is empowering, it’s exciting and it’s a way of getting in touch with your inner emotions. I have fallen in love with every person while taking part in this show.’

Jones looked relieved at having been chosen to stay, particularly following a botched dress rehearsal earlier in the day where he had forgotten his lyrics.

But his visit to English opera star Russell Watson earlier in the week had clearly helped him, as he wowed his screaming fans with a performance of Con Te Partirò (Time To Say Goodbye).
