"Other than this interview Oprah, I do not intend on speaking to anyone for a very long time.. No press, no television." Gaga has one of the most loyal fan bases in the music industry but despite her roaring success she has never been devoured by the fame monster.

The average British female sports size is a sixteen but despite this, the former Spice Girl (whose diet consists of steamed fish and raw vegetables and easily fits into a size six dress) claims she represents the general public. It's fairly evident that the star may used to fit that physique during her Spice Girl days sporting a healthy ten to twelve dress size. But in recent years her dieting and weight has made her one of the leanest women in Hollywood. The star who gave birth to her fourth child in July, last showed off her toned body in a recent Harpers Bazaar Magazine shoot for swim wear. The fashion designer is so convinced that she represents the norm that she has started basing her designs on her own measurements and has replaced models with her own body when it comes to fitting dresses for her clothing line…HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA: The name Pattie Mallette may not ring a bell with most people, but the twitter world has exploded with "Happy Birthday Pattie" trending worldwide.

GOOD CHARLOTTE RELEASE NEW ALBUM CARDIOLOGY

"The Madden brothers are back with a whole new batch of the infectious pop they're famous for. The first single, Like It's Her Birthday, is already flooding the commercial airwaves and the good news for loyal fans is that it's just one track in a stream of head-bobbing party-starters." - The Sun-Herald

"If there's one thing you can rely on with Good Charlotte, it's that their songs will be catchy…." 9/10 - TV Week

Good Charlotte have just released their fifth studio album, Cardiology. This follows the album's infectious first single 'Like It's Her Birthday' which has already surpassed gold sales, peaking at #7 on the national ARIA singles chart and is still currently top 25. The killer video, lensed by Josh Forbes (Barenaked Ladies, The Fray), sees the band celebrating, well, Like It's Her Birthday - check it out HERE.

The band's follow up single, 'Sex On The Radio' has just been released to Australian airwaves and has already been added across stations nationally. 'Sex On The Radio' is available digitally now.

Announced recently, Good Charlotte return to Australian shores to perform at the next Debit MasterCard Priceless Music Series concert held at Sydney's iconic Luna Park inside The Big Top on Thursday, 18 November, 2010. Visit www.mastercard.com.au/music and pre-register for an alert before 9th November 2010. This will be Good Charlotte's only Australian live performance for 2010 so don't miss out.

In a new initiative via Posse, Good Charlotte's passionate fanbase are able to take hold of the band's music marketing via Posse.com where they can hook their friends up with signed copies of "Cardiology" and earn a $3.50 commission on every sale. Australia is one of the band's most successful territories and fans are expected to rush to the site to become involved. The fan who promotes and sells the most copies of the album will attend a special meet and greet with the band when they visit Australia in November.

It's a very simple process, fans should visit www.posse.com and grab banners or links to "Cardiology" to post online. When their friends click through they'll get exclusive signed copies of the album and limited edition tattoos free with their purchase. For further details on this promotion, head to http://www.posse.com/c/good_charlotte.

Good Charlotte are multiplatinum superstars and Cardiology might just be their best album yet. Recorded with longtime producer Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne), Cardiology comes almost exactly a decade after the release of the group's self-titled debut.

From the synth-driven party anthem "Last Night" to slower, more sensitive tracks like "1979" and "Harlow's Song (Can't Dream Without You)," Cardiology masterfully weaves Good Charlotte's diverse musical influences into a fresh, highly personal reflection on the nature of love.

"Obviously we're all in different places in our lives but we're giving our fans that same honesty we always have," says Joel Madden. "I get the same feeling of excitement listening to this record that I did when we first started making music."

"One of the things I'm proudest of about this band is that we don't have two records that sound alike and I think that's helped keep us around," adds Benji Madden. "I think there are some elements on this record that will remind people of our first album and then there are some elements that will remind them of Good Morning Revival, too."

Cardiology follows 2007's Good Morning Revival, which debuted in the Top 10 in 13 countries, including Australia (#5) and is their highest selling album in Australia to date. Fans who purchase Cardiology on iTunes will receive two bonus tracks 'Crash' and 'Catherine (Damn This Situation)'.
