Mark Wills Wasn’t Looking for “19 Somethin’” Sequel


After years of having radio hits like “Don’t Laugh at Me” and “Wish You Were Here,” Mark Wills has returned, this time under his own record label. His album is Familiar Stranger, and the first single is “The Things We Forget,” which is reminiscent of an easier time. Mark himself compares it to “19 Somethin’,” one of his most recognizable songs. “19 Somethin’ was kind of a recap on my childhood,” he says. “It feels like ‘The Things We Forget’ goes back a little further, to more of the serious things in life.” But he does not want the two songs to get confused. “It wasn’t like I was looking for a ‘19 Somethin” part two,” he says. “It was just mainly about being able to go back in your life and remember things that meant a little bit more to you than your toys.” No matter what Wills says, it is hard to listen to “The Things We Forget” and not believe he is trying to recreate those nostalgic feelings that resonated within us when “19 Somethin’” topped the charts in 2003.

Has Toby Keith Had Enough of Nashville?


Toby Keith and his family call Norman, Okla., home. So there’s really no need to hang onto a $1.6 million house in Nashville, too. On the other hand, I can’t imagine why anyone in their right mind would put any home on the market in these tough times. But the Keiths have listed their West End Avenue house for $1,595,000. Maybe the high-end Nashville real estate market is immune to the realities of the economy elsewhere. And maybe someone will snap up this 3,400-square-foot Tuscan-style masterpiece. There’s no in-house recording studio, no lavish guitar-shaped pool and no 16-car garage. So whoever does buy it will have to be OK with the simpler things in life.

Kate Moss : "I act like a 17-year-old"


Supermodel Kate Moss has admitted she still acts like a 17-year-old

Fun-loving Kate Moss has confessed she doesn't like to act her age and that money doesn't motivate her, in a revealing new interview. "I am still acting like a 17-year-old. I definitely haven't become middle-aged. I've got a house and a daughter and all that, but I still like to have fun," she told Vogue before going on to talk about money. "I like making money, but I don't call people up every day to see how much I've made. As long as I have what I need at the time; I mean, I can buy the house that I want. I am not completely money-oriented."
