Beauty Girls

We were lucky enough to be on the red carpet at the Water for Elephants world premiere in New York April 17th. As we made our way there, TV reporters were already broadcasting live from outside the Ziegfeld theatre. They talked to fans who had spent the night in hurricane-like conditions (not kidding) for their chance to meet Rob.


While we waited to be allowed to take our spot on the red carpet, we could see cameras going up and down the line of eager fans waiting for the cast to arrive. And then it was our turn to start getting nervous.



We were standing towards the end of the carpet, sandwiched between two celebrity online sites. A Fox representative came over and explained that we'd likely have to ask group questions, since the cast would not have time to talk to each site individually. It wasn't long after that, when we heard the screams. Anyone who's been to Rob's film premieres knows that's the signal he has arrived. He showed up early so he could spend more time with the fans who had spent a night in the elements to see him. As he slowly made his way down the line of posters and books to sign (with traffic behind him and an army of bodyguards around him), all we could do is watch from across the street.


As we waited for Rob and the rest of the cast, other VIPs started walking the red carpet, including his gorgeous family.


They were followed by a familiar face. Couldn't place her at first.. then we remembered. Kasia from the latest season of America's Top Model.


Wait, does this mean she won??.. not enough time to ponder that burning question because that's when the cast began walking down the carpet.

First up, Mark Povinelli who plays Kinko (Walter) in the film. He was awesome to talk to, and shared a funny exclusive behind the scenes story involving Rob and Queenie. He later talked some more about working with Rob.





We also spotted Jim Norton (Camel), but didn't get a chance to talk to him because he passed us while we were talking to Mark. We did catch up with top coochie girl Donna Scott, and she had plenty to tell us about her flirty scenes with Rob.






Then came other guests including Julia Stiles and Gina Gershon. Michael Strahan also walked the carpet with the lovely Nicole Murphy. He stopped to tell us why he was excited to attend the premiere.




At this point, we knew the arrivals were running late, it was already past the time when the screening was supposed to start and still no Rob in sight (he had spent most of his time with fans across the street). Just as we began to get worried, the heavyweights got closer.. starting with Christoph Waltz.


He's quite intimidating, as you might imagine. We didn't even dream about approaching him, after this exchange with a reporter that was standing next to us. We're sure he's a super nice guy.





The last stop before the stars entered the theatre was in front of a group of photographers from different agencies. So as Christoph, Sara Gruen, and Reese Witherspoon made their way to the end of the carpet for a group picture, Rob was still far behind. With some time left until he got to us, we had a chance to interview Ken Foree (Earl) who joked about 'handling' Rob.



And then came the big moment.. Rob talking to us about how he prepared for his role as Jacob.



Director Francis Lawrence and Hal Holbrook joined in for one last set of pictures, before heading in to watch the film.



The rest..

From the first time you meet him, you'll know Lee MacDougall is something special. He'll draw you in with his warm personality, and when he hits the stage his voice will mesmerize you. After dreaming of becoming a musician since he was a child, his hard work is about to pay off as he embarks on his first US tour early next year.

We had the opportunity to chat with Lee and ask him fan submitted questions, plus a few of our own.

Can you share some background/on the lyrics/inspiration/story behind these following songs?

'She'

On the surface "She" is very poppy and up tempo, but it's actually quite a dark song with some pretty serious lyrics. I have met a few people who have had to overcome some very serious things in their lives, whether it be bad upbringings or turbulent and abusive relationships, and so they've grown up to be quite insecure about themselves or they have suffered from low self esteem. I just wanted to write something positive and hopeful, it's just a little message to someone saying that even if sometimes you don't feel too good about yourself or you find it hard to love yourself - things can get better and there's beauty in everybody.



'Falling in Love For The Last Time'

I'm sure everyone has been here at some stage or other. Imagine being totally obsessed with someone, but they don't feel the same way. And to make it worse, they know how you feel, but rather than put you out of your misery they play innocent and pretend to be unaware of the effect they are having because they enjoy the attention and being in control. It's a true story about a guy obsessed with a girl and he knows deep down that she is probably no good for him, but he just can't help himself because being with her feels so good. He wants her so bad it makes him sick. I quite like the twist, he's falling in love for the last time both because he knows he will never love anyone else this much, and because it hurts so bad he doesn't want to go through it again!



'How To Be'

My friend Robert Pattinson told me about a movie he was making called "How To Be" and that he was to play a guy who was a bit of a super loser. He said the guy wanted to be a singer, but couldn't really sing, and his girlfriend dumps him, and he is just generally a bit lost with his life and doesn't really know where he's going. I thought it sounded really funny, and a good idea for a song, and being both actors and musicians struggling to achieve a higher degree of success at the time, I think we could both identify a little with the character. I said that I was going to try and write the theme tune for the movie based on what he had told me and I went home and wrote it in a couple of days. I went back to his house and played it to everyone and everybody really liked it, so I gave Rob a CD to give to the people doing the movie. Unbeknown to us though, I think the soundtrack had already been selected and I was too late, so it never made the cut. I didn't mind too much because soon after I started to play the song live and it got such a great reaction from the crowd that I just decided to keep it for myself. I always have to tell the story behind it when I play it because people still assume it's about me! The amusing thing is, looking back at it though and how I felt at the time, I think it probably is semi-autobiographical.



You play gigs with Lizzy Pattinson once in a while, but fans want to know if you would you like to collaborate with Rob Pattinson musically in the future and have you ever played together?

Yes we have - but only if you count jamming on the piano in his living room! We've never done an actual gig together, although he did used to come and watch my shows in London. Rob is a really natural musician, he's amazing on the piano - although he always claims he doesn't really know what he's doing, but I think he's just very modest. We have quite different styles, but that can often produce the best results. Of course if the chance ever presented itself to collaborate I think it would be great, and a lot of fun. Would you guys like to see Rob and I collaborate? (Us: Yes please!)

What kind of music are you working on at this moment and what is the significance of it?


All my songs are pretty much true stories, and often quite personal, and I hope significant in the sense that in a time were almost all music is manufactured - people can relate to the honesty and sincerity in them. I'd like to do some more film soundtrack stuff too. My newest song called "Stay" is probably the most haunting ballad that I've written so far and I think that it would be perfect for a movie.

Artist you most look up to and why?

I don't really look up to any artists. I admire talent and determination in people to succeed, but I wouldn't say I look up to anyone. It's just entertainment. I look up to soldiers and doctors and people who devote their lives to helping others and seldom receive the credit they deserve for it.

What are you most looking forward to when you go on Tour in the US?


Everything! The chance to visit so many different places and to meet so many great people. I love US culture too. Just to be able play a song that I've written in my bedroom in a tiny flat in London, all across America in places like New York, Nashville, San Fransisco, and hopefully to have people singing along - that's going to be an amazing feeling.

Can we expect to see you at South by Southwest?


Yes, providing I don't accidentally turn left at Georgia and end up in Disney World - I'm 99.9% certain I'll be playing at South by Southwest.

Is an album on the way and can you give us a preview of what will be in it?

Yes, I'm just putting the finishing touches to an album that I'll be selling at shows on the road next year. It's going to be a limited edition collection of the best of all the demo's and little tales that I've recorded so far. Kind of like a diary of my life since moving to London a few years ago.

Favorite on-stage moment and why?

I did a show with US band Train recently in London. It was sold out, and my biggest show in London so far. Half way through I asked the crowd to sing along. I stopped playing guitar and the whole crowd sang the song back to me word for word. It was an amazing feeling and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.

What makes you smile each day?

My family, my friends. Having the support of so many incredible people. Reading letters from fans. Just being able to have the chance to exist doing the thing I love. I feel very lucky so far.

Finally, do you have a message for fans who you have connected with online and many of which you will meet in person in the coming months?

Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. It's your support that is enabling me to be able to tour across the USA and Canada, and hopefully Europe too. I'm really looking forward to repaying you all with some fantastic shows and looking forward to saying hello in person as opposed to through a computer screen!
