WATF Spring/Summer Tour Dates Announced
Universal Republic Records' compelling new rock brigade, We Are The Fallen, will release their debut album Tear The World Down on May 11th. The first single from this iconic band ‘Bury Me Alive,’ is already making its way up the modern and active rock charts.
The formidable five-some is comprised of the original members of multi-platinum trailblazing band Evanescence, guitarists Ben Moody and John LeCompt along with drummer Rocky Gray, joined by breakout American Idol finalist Carly Smithson on vocals. Acclaimed bassist Marty O’Brien (Disturbed and Static-X, among others) rounds out We Are The Fallen's unique sound.
The group has been on a 28 city tour with Finnish rock band H.I.M., which finishes in New York on May 9th. Following the conclusion of that run, We Are The Fallen will head out on their own two week headlining tour beginning on May 13th in Northampton, MA. In June, We Are The Fallen will return to Europe for performances at the Download Festival and Rock am Ring/Rock im Park. Summer U.S. touring plans are also in the works and will be announced shortly.
Moody left platinum-plus breakthrough rock act Evanesence in 2003 and has since co-written major hits for Chris Daughtry and Kelly Clarkson among others.
Evanescence’s groundbreaking 2003 album, Fallen, spent an incredible 43 weeks on the Billboard Top Ten Albums Chart, selling 15 million copies worldwide and 7 million + albums in the U.S. alone.
For Smithson, We Are The Fallen fulfills her destiny as one of rock’s most potent new female voices. She first turned heads as one of American Idol’s more engaging rock candidates, landing a controversial sixth place slot during Season 7 of the landmark television series, but not before gaining traction as one of the show’s most original and uncompromising new talents. The powerful vocalist’s ‘elimination’ sent shockwaves through the ‘Idol’ blogger nation, with her acclaimed performances on the 2008 American Idol Tour cementing her current reputation as a force to be reckoned with - possessing a riveting rock presence that is second to none.

Ellen Himic is definitely a fresh face in the industry, just launching her second season, she has already begun to develop an aesthetic that is completely unique and clearly associated with her personal style as both a designer and a brand. Heavily influenced by historic architecture, antique sculpture and symbolic objects, Himic's collection is incredibly detailed in a way that you don't normally see with today's jewelry. She is definitely bridging the gap between contemporary and fine jewelry, using a select mix of semi-precious and precious stones set in a variety of metals to complete her handcrafted works of art.
"My current collections are interpretations of specific details in architecture. The Cassion Collection™ are interpretations of cassions, which are sunken panels found in ceilings of Basilicas and Cathedrals," explains the designer.
Retail prices ranging from just $70 to over $2,000 make the collection widely accessible to customers that are looking for anything from a pair of high quality every-day earrings to an investment piece like an ornate statement necklace.
Ellen Himic's collection has been featured in such national women's magazine as InStyle, Women's Wear Daily, and People. Actress Leighton Meester sported Ellen Himic on Gossip Girl and Bethany Frankel of Real Housewives of New York City.

US and Star Magazine have their work cut out for them this week if they want to make a dent in the sales PEOPLE will get for their Sandra Bullock cover (I will get to that story). US has a pretty good story running on their website.
According to a friend of Brad Pitt he was not pleased with Jennifer Aniston's feature in Architectural Digest in February. Brad is known for being an architectural buff and while they were married Jennifer would apparently tease him about it. Cut to several years later (and a year after Brad was featured in the same magazine) and she graces the cover.
"Brad thinks she is pathetic," the source tells Us of a recent Aniston interview, adding that the 46-year-old actor was "disgusted" with his former spouse (the pair divorced in 2005). "Brad feels this is all so desperate," adds the insider. "It was a ploy to get his attention." She knows he reads the magazine and wanted to impress him.
They say Hollywood is like high school. In this case Jennifer is doing a drive-by. She is walking past the football field. She is making out with some guy on the dance floor. She has no shame. Shouldn't she just let it go all these years later? She needs an intervention. Maybe Michael Lohan is available.

One of the best questions in the world is - who would play yourself in a movie?
