After All Muse Not Really Into Twilight


Muse is in the midst of a strategy to build its American fan base one 13 year old girl at a time.
In an apparent effort to shield his band from the guffaws that come with being the only band with music featured in all three Twilight flicks, bassist Chris Wolstenholme said the band only participated in the soundtracks because it wanted to get its name out in the United States.
Wolstenholme also says he's skipped watching the two latest vampire movies, because, you know, that'll help his band gain back credibility. The bassist didn't go so far as to express pity toward Twilight fans, but you can be sure that's what's going on here at Aversion right now.

Vacation, Muse Want To Try Something New


Though the members of Muse are recently occupied with such tasks as "canoodling" with Hollywood royalty, writing music for vampires to sparkle by, and touring, touring, the band's bassist, Chris Wolstenholme, revealed that they're already plotting the follow up to last year's album, The Resistance.
"We'll definitely start working on a new album next year," Wolstenholme told NME, during some downtime at UK festival T In the Park. But before the bombastic rockers figure out how they'll top their 2009 ode to Orwell, Wolstenholme says the band will try something new: taking a vacation.
"I think we'll definitely take some time off after this touring period because it's something we've never done," Wolstenholme said. "I think the most time we've had off is about six weeks in the last 12 years, so we're due a break."
The band's recently on tour in Europe, with dates scheduled worldwide until December 19. They return to Canada for one show, playing Quebec City Oct. 21.

Muse: Bellamy Confirms Hudson Romance Rumours


MUSE rocker MATT BELLAMY has confirmed he is dating Hollywood beauty KATE HUDSON - and is "nervous" ahead of an imminent meeting with the actress' mum GOLDIE HAWN.
Hudson, who has been single since splitting from baseball star Alex Rodriguez late last year (09), sparked rumours she is in a new relationship with the musician after the pair was spotted enjoying an intimate date in May (10).
Gossip reached fever pitch after the How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days stunner supported Bellamy during his band's slot at British music festival Glastonbury last weekend (26/27Jun10).
Now the rocker has admitted they are a couple, and Hudson has arranged a date for the star to meet her legendary mum later this month (Jul10).
He tells Britain's The Sun, "I'm meeting her (Hawn) next week... I'm already nervous. I don't want to make the whole experience even more embarrassing.
"She's (Hudson) great. Everything is going very well. We are actually glad and enjoying spending time with each other. She had a great time at Glastonbury."
The star even hints they may wed: "Ask me again about marriage in a couple of months."
