The Killers were turned down by every major record label in the US.
The "Somebody Told Me" band found it hard to get a deal in their home country at the start of their career, but a good review and radio play in Britain helped kick started their career.
"Every major label in America turned us down, then we got a glowing review in NME magazine and every single one of those labels offered us a record deal. So I will always be thankful to the NME," frontman Brandon Flowers said.
The band were awarded the Best International Band trophy at the recent NME Awards, and said they were amazed to be at the ceremony alongside their hero, guitar player Johnny Marr. Referencing two of Johnny's bands, Brandon added to NME magazine, "It's a big honor just to be here with Johnny Marr. I mean have you ever heard Electronic? But The Smiths were a staple for so many of us that were in that room. It's incredible, the influence they had."

Kanye West Warns Kim Kardashian Against Nude Pregnancy Shoot?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Pregnancies, Photos, Rumors,
Kanye West reportedly doesn't want Kim Kardashian to pose for a nude pregnancy photo shoot. Although the reality TV star - who is due to give birth to her first daughter with Kayne in July - is apparently keen to recreate Demi Moore's iconic Vanity Fair cover shot, her partner wants some things to be kept private.
"It's something Kim has wanted to do for years. She thinks it would be really classy - something she could keep as a souvenir forever. But Kanye believes some things should be kept private. And he has made it clear to Kim in no uncertain terms that he doesn't want her posing nude and showing off her baby bump to the world," a source said.
The 35-year-old rapper is said to want his 32-year-old partner to be "less publicity hungry" and step out of the limelight as he looks to build his dream family. "She knows it may be her last chance of being on the cover of some of those magazines, which normally turn their nose up at her. But Kanye wants her to become more respectful and less publicity-hungry. He has dreams of the kids going to the finest schools and universities. He's come up from humble beginnings and he sees this as opportunity to build a dynasty," the insider added.
Rihanna, Kate Moss Strip for ‘V’ Magazine Covers
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Models,
You know that V has got to be out of ideas for its cover if it resorts to featuring Rihanna and Kate Moss in their birthday suits. Yawn. Haven't we seen this before? Mario Testino shot the covers for this "Dynamic Duos" issue - on newsstands February 28 - one of which Kate's leg could eerily easily double as Rihanna's arm.
What do you think of V's latest issue - over it or love it?

Elisha Cuthbert Named TV’s Most Beautiful Woman
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Features,
Elisha Cuthbert has been named the most beautiful woman on TV. The Happy Endings star has been awarded the annual title by the editors of Maxim magazine and admits the honor is "very flattering."
The 30-year-old blonde beauty said, "To think that one person could be the most beautiful when there's Kaley Cuoco, Sofia Vergara, Zooey Deschanel? They're all stunning. I'm not gonna fight anyone about it, though. I'll accept it with grace. But being on a show with two other beautiful women [Casey Wilson and Eliza Coupe], this is gonna make going to work very uncomfortable. I don't know, this might be a curse."
The former 24 star also admits that she has no problem being an object of lust and thinks that her character as a porn star in the 2004 movie The Girl Next Door was a huge hit because she was subtly sexy: "To be honest, I think one reason guys liked that character so much is because I didn't go fully nude. My character really could be the girl of every guy's dreams, instead of having them see her naked and going, 'Oh, that's not my thing.' Remember Weird Science? Kelly LeBrock never got naked. She didn't show you everything. I think that's why it resonated with more men than it probably should have."
