Simon Cowell is "too excited to sleep" about One Direction's success in the US.
The British boy band are currently on tour in America and the success and screaming girls which have followed them has left their mentor suffering sleepless nights. "He's really, really excited about the reaction we've had out here and has said he's not sleeping properly because he keeps thinking about us and how it's going. He's far too excited to sleep. Which is quite cool," said the group's Louis Tomlinson.
The group - who's debut album Up All Night is tipped to top the US charts tomorrow - were initially told it would take them much longer to crack the difficult US market, but microblogging site Twitter has helped them gain fans.

Rihanna completed her Loud Tour at London's The O2 venue last night. The "You Da One" singer finished her huge 98 date tour in the English capital, and thanked fans for all their support over the last year.
Before her encore of "Take A Bow," "Umbrella" and "We Found Love," she told the crowd, "I cannot believe this is the last show. It really sucks. I'm going to miss you all so f***ing much. This tour has been one of the best experiences of my life, I've grown so attached to you all - more than I ever thought I could be."
The Loud Tour ran from June to December and included dates in North and South America and Europe, including 11 nights in total in London, with the final three filmed for a live DVD. However, the tour was not without upset as the 23-year-old star had to cancel two dates in Sweden in November due to exhaustion.
The crowd last night included fellow pop singer Cheryl Cole, who was hugely impressed with Rihanna's singing. She tweeted afterwards, "Just left last #Loud concert. Amazing!! To put on 98 of the same shows like that and give your all takes something special. (sic)"

Coldplay Host Intimate London Show
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Performances,
Coldplay joked it was "like playing for their family" at an intimate gig in London last night. The "Paradise" band played at the 500-capacity Camden Dingwalls venue for the first time since 1998, when they had just released their debut Safety EP.
During the set lead singer Chris Martin told the crowd, "This is like playing for our family. It's so f***ing small. I've got more cousins than this! We're used to lasers and posh stuff, and now we've got nothing but our instruments and our handsome bass player."
As the band - completed by Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion - took to the stage, opening their set with new song "Hurts Like Heaven" from their Mylo Xyloto album, things got off to a shaky stage, as the band made a couple of mistakes. "This is worse than 14 years ago. We f***ed that up as well. Come on, we're a professional band for f**k's sake," Chris joked.
The show saw the band perform against a graffiti inspired backdrop and was attended by lucky fans picked from 60,000 who had applied for the free tickets.

Lady Gaga Liberates Herself Through Reinvention
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Performances, Pop,
Pop singer Lady Gaga feels she is "liberating" herself by constantly changing her image and sound. The "You + I" singer is known for her eccentric fashion sense and straddles a number of genres on her latest album, Born This Way, a practice she has been drawn to since she was a girl.
"When I was young I had something very different inside of me. I like to liberate myself with my ability to change, the fantasy becomes my reality," she says in a new documentary Gaga By Gaultier.
The 25-year-old star - real name Stephanie Germanotta - added she never feels the urge to change her outrageous outfits for normal clothes, because her fans expect her to always be Lady Gaga:
"They're my lifestyle, it's not dressing up, a costume, a show, or a character. It's my whole life. I've been dressing like this for more than six years. While I was living in New York, I fell in love with expressing myself through clothing. I wanted to make a name for myself as a musician and stand out. I want to give my fans everything they deserve and they do not deserve sweat pants and sneakers. They deserve the real me all the time, and this is who I am."

Krist Novoselic to Perform Nevermind
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Concerts / Tours, Performances, Reunions, Rock,
Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic will perform the band's classic Nevermind album in full. The 46-year-old rocker will join forces with the likes of Seattle bands Campfire OK, the Long Winters, Visqueen, the Fastbacks, and Vaporland for a tribute show which will pay homage to the 20th anniversary of the legendary 1991 album.
According to radio station 107.7 The End, Krist will perform the record in full on September 20 at the Sky Church at Seattle's Experience Music Project. Former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl - who now fronts the Foo Fighters - recently admitted he thinks that Krist is the "soul" of their previous group, and hanging out with him stirs up strong memories.
"He hasn't changed a bit, so to hear him speak or to hear him tell stories or to hear him talk about Nirvana - it really brings back the feeling of being in the band because it's just part of his soul," he said.
Dave also explained the dynamic of the grunge band - which disbanded after the suicide of singer Kurt Cobain in 1994 - was created by the fine balance in drive and personality between Kurt and Krist:
