Just saw thanks to a trending topic on Twitter (I don't follow gossip magazines, I swear!) that Kate Hudson, partner of Matt Bellamy of Muse is pregnant. If it's been kept under wraps for a bit surely it'll be due around August time, coincidentally at the same time as those festivals they're rumoured for.

I'm not sure whether this makes a difference at all really, Muse could have signed up months ago and this wouldn't have made a difference, but I thought it was worthwhile throwing it out there. Something different to talk about during this complete drought right now!

I read that as well, on twitter... *ahem*

Yeah, maybe they might pull out now, maybe they're not even booked, etc.

Wouldn't mind if they were not here. Wouldn't mind if they were.

Unless it's due on that weekend, I imagine they'll still keep to the deal...
or they'll play it by ear, and just see what happens...

Hope they don't play by ear, if they cancel a few days before and we're stuck with someone like Paramore/MCR headlining. I'll be angers.

She's 14weeks pregnant, she has 26weeks left till the babys born. Leeds is 33 weeks which gives him a 7weeks, 1 and half months between the baby being born and leeds.

Im sure the little one will burn a hole in his pocket (As If) so i guess a paycheck from Festival Republic would be a nice bonus.

Muse still to me look a certian for Leeds Festival 2011 (My fingers are crossed)

If needs be she could give birth on stage? Something different. A crowd member could cut the cord.

If they were to be announced then cancel there would be more of a shitstorm than them not being on the bill in the first place since they did say they were taking a year out to record a new album, than there would be if FR just booked mcr or someone else like that to headline in the first place

Well im to disagree, Muse are a qaulity band. They have been said to be a bit emotionless on stage and not very active. But its a 3 man band, they all have to play and perform. Green Day are qaulity performers but they have very simple songs. When you listen to them they aint difficult to play yourself.

Muse have a difficult songs to play, i struggle to play anything really of theirs. But watching live DVD's of wembley they look out of this world and would have more of an impact on stage than Blink did last year, really enjoyed my chance to see blink but they wasnt anything special.

[Role Model]

If I was forced to watch either Green Day or Muse, I'd take Green Day every time. Thankfully nobody's forcing me and if they play, I'll be very far away.

I'm not a fan of Muse really, but live they are outstanding. Green Day live can suck my balls, "I said a heyyyyyyyyyy ohhhhhhhhh" x100.

Quite an amusing comparison here actually, you've got Matt Bellamy who never says anything, and Billy Joe Armstrong who never shuts up.

(I'm a fan of both, for the record)

I hope she does an M.I.A and comes on stage rapping with contractions.

The King has been dead for over 30 years now and I've seen more life in his corpse than at a Muse concert - and the fans are usually either Kensington art student w*nkers or w*nkers who wish they were Kensington art student w*nkers.  

Matt Bellamy is a grade A c**t - a pretentious arse of a man more focused on casually dropping 10-minute piano or guitar solos into his coma-inducing sets than banging out a good old fashioned Punk anthem about hating everything. All Muse is, is a bunch of colourful lights and laser beams that hide an otherwise shitty, dead and decrepit Christmas tree, and nobody likes a dead Christmas tree.

Never seen Muse, only watched them online and i can say if they are at leeds ill go an make an opinion. But surely him casually dropping 10-minute piano or guitar solos into his coma-inducing sets is a show of talent?

As i said, ive still got to whitness them live, and ill get back to you with my opinion. Got to say i belive they will be better than any of the 3 headliners last year though, blink were the best last year and even they were slightly disapointing, very rigid and didnt really hit it off with the crowd.

I take it you didn't watch Arcade Fire?

I think 10 minute solos is an exaggeration, and my guess about the lack of punk anthems would be that they're not a punk band. I don't think you can throw all their fans in as 'art student w*nkers' either, though its a very odd stereotype to pick. Muse was the best gig I've been to, they're incredibly talented and have an amazing live show.
