FINALLY! Rob Thomas has taken to Twitter to confirm that Matchbox Twenty will be back with a new album this year! The band has been working on an album for a while now, but anything worthwhile is worth waiting for, right? The band's drummer Paul Doucette said earlier this year (regarding the release of the album):

"That's the same question I was asking. We don't know — the beginning of next year, we hope. It's a real important record for us. We haven't done anything in a long time. The older we get, the more we realize and appreciate the good fortune we have to do what we do at this level. Realistically, how many more times do we get? So we're going to really make this record the one we want it to be.

But on the MatchBox Twenty Twitter account:

Like I said, anything worthwhile is worth waiting for!

In the meanwhile if you happen to be in Atlantic City this weekend you can catch Rob performing two shows at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa to benefit his and his wife Marisol's Sidewalk Angels Foundation whose purpose is:

The primary supporter and sponsor of a number of no-kill animal shelters and animal rescues, reflecting the passion of the foundation's co-founders to fight for the rights and fair treatment of those with no voice. Additionally, the foundation also supports a myriad of other causes, from childhood health and wellness to the fight against homelessness. 

Just another reason to love Rob Thomas!

Prince Harry’s visit to New York included taking part in the 3rd Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic on Governors Island where he took a spill off of his horse.  Easy for me to say he fell down went boom, but I’m sure that is one sport that is incredibly difficult. Didn’t his father always used to fall of his horse?  There is a joke in there, but I’m trying to earn my wings today so I shall let that one go.  He he he.

I would totally give that bad boy Prince Harry mouth-to-mouth even though clearly he is conscious.  I would just consider that a challenge (and hope that security can’t run too fast).  Holla!

Lots of celebrities (and large boobilage) attended this event:

• Carol Alt

Amy Adams is the vision of loveliness as she poses on the red carpet for the world premiere of Leap Year last night in New York.  Amy is pregnant with her first baby with fiancee and baby daddy Darren Le Gallo.  The romantic comedy also starring Adam Scott, John Lithgow and Matthew Goode is described as:

A woman (Adams) who has an elaborate scheme to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day, an Irish tradition which occurs every time the date February 29 rolls around, faces a major setback when bad weather threatens to derail her planned trip to Dublin. With the help of an innkeeper, however, her cross-country odyssey just might result in her getting engaged.

Also attending the premiere:  Rob Thomas (purrrrr) and his wife Marisol Thomas, Sophie Dymoke, Dreama Walker, Russell Simmons, Breckin Meyer and others.

Hunky, hottie Rob Thomas and his beautiful wife, Marisol were at Bloomingdale’s in New York to launch his new album Cradlesong that is now out.  The event also celebrated the  Lyric Culture limited edition release.

I love Rob Thomas for many reasons.  His hawtness can not be denied   but I also love how much he loves his wife and animals.  He and his wife are very involved in the welfare of animals and that is something I totally respect.  He has an ‘intensity’ about him in his music, but also in his gaze and I think that must translate into other *cough* areas and, well, that just gives me impure thoughts.  I stalk follow him on Twitter

Enjoy the pics Celticphan!
