Hey Mr. Tambourine man!
The redheaded royal recently helped record a song for his nan, Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee...but don't think he's releasing an album anytime soon!
In regal speak, the celebration and song will be for her 60th anniversary as the Queen of England!
Harry picked up a tambourine and joined British singer and X Factor UK mentor, Gary Barlow, along with other musicians from the Commonwealth on the track Sing!!
Gary said:
"We turned up and I asked him would he play on the record and he said, 'I don't sing.' But I said, 'No, no — I don't want you to sing, I want you to play the tambourine.' And so he said, 'It'll cost you. Then we met him later on that night and he did the tambourine hit and we spun it into the track. He probably hasn't got a clue what he's part of just yet."
LOLz! What we would give to hear him carry a tune!!! We bet he'd be a bass singer, with a sultry deep voice!!
Though, we can’t even lie...we’d let Prince Harry tap OUR tambourine any day! Ha!

Hmm. Isn't there already a modern-day version of Sherlock Holmes called Sherlock set in London? UM Yeah...
But a Sherlock Holmes set in current NYC? SO original! HAH!
Regardless of it's repetitive nature, CBS' new fall show Elementary, starring Jonny Lee Miller (Sherlock Holmes) and Lucy Liu (Dr. Watson) is certainly peaking out interest.
Get a juicy behind-the-scenes look and follow the eccentric Holmes and straight laced Ms. Watson as they solve crimes throughout NYC (above)!
We hope it's not too similar to it's British cousin!

The One Direction boys are taking over the globe...literally!
After the Brit band wraps up the first leg of their North American tour in July, they’ll have some time to relax...that is, until September!
On September 20, the guys of 1D will be performing at the iTunes Festival in London!
Group member Harry Styles said:
“Every year we see some of our favourite bands and artists on the bill so to be part of the line up this year is incredibly exciting and we’re hugely grateful for the opportunity. We can’t wait to see our fans at the Festival.”
So exciting!
The month-long festival kicks off September 1 with Usher performing and fans can sign up for FREE tickets through iTunes!
One Direction will then be prepping to make their way back to the States, when they conquer their sold-out Madison Square Garden show on December 3!
Get ready, Directioners!!!

All hail the most HONORABLE Knight of the Realm, Sir Paul McCartney!
Did you know that Paul saved DJ Mark Ronson from drowning in the Long Island Sound when Mark was just a little lad?
Well neither did Mark!
He had heard tales from his mother that eluded to a saviour-beatle, but assumed it was one of his mom’s “crazy stories”...
Until he recently recorded a song with the famed ex-Beatle!
Mark recently revealed:
“I did a song with Paul McCartney a few months ago. After a couple of days in the studio, he came in and said, 'Your mum's Ann, right? Me and Linda would always run into your parents on the beach in Long Island.'
I told him about my mum's story that he saved me from drowning one time, and he said he vaguely remembered something like that. So maybe he backed up her claim, which means I can't really tease her about it now."
And what makes this story even stranger is that both Mark and Paul are British... yet they both summered in Long Island!
Ah, life has all sorts of quirky connections!

Who needs originality when you’ve got a proven, $$$-making formula!
In a time when sequels are pretty much a given, the Pres. of Universal pictures Eddie Cunningham has expressed he'd actually LOVE to see a sequel to Richard Curtis’ mega-hit romcom Love, Actually.
Eddie recently dished:
"I think there should be a Love Actually 2. I'd give it a green light. I think many American movies try to emulate that brilliant format where the stories interweave and no one's on screen for more than six minutes, but only Richard has achieved it. It really makes you appreciate the beauty of his writing."
No, thank you!
We ADORE Love, Actually - it’s a christmas STAPLE - but why make a sequel that could possibly ruin a charming classic?
Would YOU want to revisit your British friends in Love, Actually 2? Love, Actually Revisited? Love, Truly? Love, Not So Much?
Oooh! This could be good!!
Katie Couric pulls back some fancy British tapestries to give most Americans a view they rarely see, the REAL Queen Elizabeth II.
ABC teases its upcoming regal interview (above) with clips of Couric speaking in detail to Princes William and the Hippo-less Harry about a variety of subjects, including Her Majesty’s Facebook account!
We wonder if she plays Words With Friends! LOLz!!
In the two-hour broadcast, Couric speaks with the Royal family, support staff at Buckingham Palace, and even noted British celebrities like Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John -- all in an attempt to paint a clearer portrait of Queen Mum.
What questions do U hope Katie asks the Queen?
How many crumpets does she eat with her tea? Did she think King Ralph with John Goodman was HIGHlarious??

One Direction’s heartthrob Harry Styles might have that One Thing...but can he do it like Mick Jagger?
Reportedly, Styles will soon be auditioning to play the role of Mick in the upcoming film, Exile On Main St.!
The flick’s plotline will revolve around the Rolling Stones’ frontman and guitarist Keith Richards, and is backed by Richard Branson.
A source spills:
"Harry on stage can pass as a dead ringer for Jagger. If he can transform this image into a movie role then he's going to be a serious candidate to get the part. The signs so far are good."
We can kind of see the resemblance? Sorta? Maybe it’s just the hair. Or the whole British thing...? LOLz.
However, if Harry were to get the role, filming would take up a LOT of time and will be “very demanding.” With One Direction about to embark on their North American tour, and will continue touring through next year, it’s hard to figure out where filming might fit in!
Supposedly, though, some high level execs are super interested in the crooner, and even though his top priority is 1D, we’re not so sure he’d sit this opportunity (Read more...)
This video (above) is EPIC!!
KStew visited Jolly Ol' England last week and stopped by The Graham Norton Show for tea and crumpets to promote Snow White and the Huntsman and the result is HIGHlarious!
After watching a minute clip of SWATH -- it still looks fantastic, by the way -- Norton grills Kristen on all the rampant sex in the Breaking Dawn films.
Referring to all the postpartum penetration, she said:
“[Bella and Edward] just wanna bone. It’s the most ridiculous thing.”
She then jokingly called SWATH co-star Chris Hemsworth a ‘dickhead’ who would not stop crying after she accidentally punched him on set.
Actor/comedians Chris Rock and Stephen Mangan are also guests on the episode.
Rock is particularly amused by all the necrophilia in Twilight and he goes on to joke about Justin Bieber knocking-up his 10 year-old daughter with magic sunglasses.
We can’t make this stuff up, folks! Watch it for yourself!

If you haven't already bought the import yet, then buy Ed Sheeran's debut album, +, as soon as it is released in America next month! It is such a stunning body of work!
The British troubadour is one of our utmost favorite new musicians of the past few years!
So insanely talented!!!!
We were thrilled to get to sit down with and talk about the special presents he makes for his fans and hands out at each of his shows, forgetting his lyrics, why he collaborates with so many rappers, making it at such a young age, playing by his own rules, spending time in America, dating, shagging groupies, being alone on stage without a band, touring with Snow Patrol, how radio in the UK and the US are different and soooo much more!
Great great hang!
Read some highlights from our chat... after the jump!
And watch our interview with Ed Sheeran in full above!!!

Perez: Hey everybody it's Perez, joined by Ed Sheeran who made me this really cool Lego super hero. Well he's not really a super hero. This is Lex Luther?
Ed Sheeran: Lex Luther yeah.
Perez: Now you were talking about before (Read more...)
