This weekend the massive Reading and Leeds festivals took place with performances from Metallica, Dirty Pretty Things, Manic Street Preachers, Rage Against The Machine, The Last Shadow Puppets, Bloc Party and oh so many more.
A bored-looking Kate Moss watched from the sound desk as her man Jamie Hince got down on one knee in front of his bandmate Alison Mosshart during The Kills' set. Meanwhile Alexa Chung hung out with Alex Turner and his bandmate Miles Kane on the grass at Leeds – what do you think of her festival look?
As much fun as it was, the festival was not without a couple of less appealing moments.
The festival season has continued apace, with V taking over this weekend. The crowds enjoyed sets from Will Young, Estelle, Girls Aloud, Duffy, The Stranglers, The Feeling, Alanis Morissette and Lenny Kravitz, and spectators included Jamie Oliver, Alexa Chung, Coleen McLoughlin and the lovely Mathew Horne. The Staffordshire leg of the festival was hit with
hideous rainy weather but that didn't put off the
estimated 150,000 music fans that attended.
I love these pics of Steve Jones, they make me laugh. But why is he dressed as a builder. Well, tonight 4Music launches as a spangly new channel, featuring music shows, exclusives, festival coverage (V is featured this weekend) and artist interviews alongside the usual fare of vids and countdowns.
Alexa Chung looked clear-skinned and fashion-forward as usual as she and boyfriend Alex Turner showed up at Somerset House yesterday for an outdoor screening of classic movie
Léon. They were joined by friends including Alexa's T4 co-host Rick Edwards, and Alexa turned the camera's on the photographers by snapping a few shots of the lens-men. The affectionate couple posed separately but were caught in a cute moment as Alexa kissed Alex on the cheek as they walked out.
Alexa Chung vs. Daisy Lowe — Whose Dark Romatic Look Do You Prefer? Daisy Lowe and Alexa Chung both rocked the darkly romantic trend for the European premiere of
The Dark Knight. My girl Bella UK loves how Daisy has contrasted pleats and chiffon ruffles, with hard-edged, black lace-up boots, while Alexa looks effortlessly cool in chunky heels and a slick black suit. Whose look are you really coveting?
