POPCORN SCANS
Popcorn brings you amazing photos from december's Tokio Hotel tour in America! We also have for you hot news from backstage! Does Bill really suffer from eating disorder? Does he hate his body and is in depresions?
"Fans in America were absolutely fanatic!"
"Boys even couldn't get to hall because of fans!"
In last time there were lots of rumors which had lots of to do with Bill Kaulitz (19). We got one by one information that he suffer from eating disorder, hate his own body and lots of more. But how we can be used to by TH, by the time we can see, they are not everytime so true. There is already enough that rumor about Bill hating his body because he wears shirt and jeans on beach. He could be cold or just protect himself against sun. But he deffinitely has no problem with his body because only few days later could paparazzi saw him and his brother Tom in water and only in swimsuit! About those eating disorder rumor. It is fact that Bill deffinitely belongs between thin guys but that doesn't have to mean he has anorexia or bulimia! His management clearly said that Bill has no problem with eating disorder. And if somebody thinks that Bill is even more thin (by some news he has only 45 kg!) so it is only because he had very difficult time and soon there will be world-tour! But he is deffinitely not ill! And another good news - by the last news should be new CD of Tokio Hotel in March!
Describes by pics (from left to right):
"Georg Listing was excited from atmosphere in America!"
"Also Tom Kaulitz didn't let his quitar for even a moment!"
"Bill was on stage with big energy and got all audience!"
"December's concert in Anaheim, California had great reviews!"
"There was clearly that Bill is in great form and he deffinitely is not ill!"
"Also Tom said boys enjoyed tour in America!"
"Tokio Hotel raised big craziness in USA even their albums are not so good in charts like in Germany and Europe but boys still have amazing success and their future carier behind ocean looks really perfect!"
Bill Kaulitz: "I have only two wishes - first our fans would stay faithful and like our new album - and the second is finally to fall in love!"

OM NYA ALBUMMET
Tokio Hotel Working On 'Dark' Anthems For Next Album
Producers the Matrix discuss their work on upcoming LP, tentatively due in the spring.
By Gil Kaufman
It's been awhile since the production trio known as the Matrix worked on such a highly anticipated album. But that will change this spring when Tokio Hotel release the follow-up to their English language breakthrough album, Scream. The yet-untitled album is being co-produced by the pop songwriters/producers best known for their work with Avril Lavigne, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Korn.
"We're in the middle of working on the Tokio Hotel record right now," Matrix member Lauren Christy said Tuesday, the same day the collective's long-lost album featuring a then-unknown singer by the name of Katy Perry dropped on iTunes. "We've done eight songs for that record ... and I love the singer's voice and the fact that they play their own instruments. They're a real band, and they're very dark. They're this almost-perfect, gorgeous-looking band but with music that's very dark."
So far, Christy said the German group has laid down tracks at two different Los Angeles studios with the Matrix and with their own in-house production team over the past few months, with a mix that includes very "strong, anthem-y" songs with a dark edge and "lots of guitars."
Fellow Matrix producer Scott Spock said the sessions have been one of the most exciting and enjoyable of his career. "We've worked with so many different people, and when you get into a room where magic just starts happening ... it makes everything really fun," he said, comparing the spark to the one he felt working with Lavigne and Korn. "It's the same experience with Tokio Hotel. ... They are all really talented and can write and play, and they're the real deal."
Spock said he can't recall the last time he worked with a singer who had as much star quality as TH leader Bill Kaulitz. "The music business really needs Tokio Hotel right now," Spock said. "They're reviving that image of what a rock star is. ... Their writing has developed massively, and we're experimenting a bit with some Depeche Mode influence. ... It doesn't sound like anything else out there right now. People don't want to hear a bunch of 808s and Auto-Tuned vocals. They want the real stuff."
Christy added that one of the other things she's grown to love about the rockers is their strong sense of identity, one that seems impervious to the Matrix's tendency toward a big, bright pop sound. "The band is so aware of what they are, and when you have an artist that's that strong, you can't pull them and homogenize them and make them sound like they're not. They're very opinionated about what they want."
That strong sense of self has made it easier to work with the guys as they try to introduce some more American rock styles to their sound, Spock said, while working hard not to lose that unique essence that has made them worldwide stars already. "The push and pull between the camps has been great," he said. "And I think the album will be great because of that. I'm going to look back on this in 10 years and say, 'Wow, I worked with Tokio Hotel!' "
Christy said TH came to the Matrix because they really liked the ballad they'd co-written with Avril Lavigne, "I'm With You," as well as their production on Korn's See You on the Other Side album.
"They like the sadness of that song and were really touched by it," she said of the Lavigne tune. "They like the Korn records too, but they said, 'We wouldn't do that, but it's really good. But it's not truthful to us as a band.' " So far, the Matrix have been co-writing all the songs they've worked on with TH for the album, and at press time, Scott said they had completed work on six of those tunes.
The album is tentatively due in late spring, according to Christy; a spokesperson for TH's label could not be reached for comment at press time. "Their confidence in knowing exactly who they are and what they're doing, given how youthful they are, is amazing," Spock said. "They definitely bring the dark side of the pop song, not like a Lamb of God record but with rock influences that will cross over to so many different kids ... and even some adults."
In addition to the TH album, Christy said the Matrix have been grinding away on Korn singer Jonathan Davis' solo debut, an album by "iCarly" star Miranda Cosgrove, the next Ashley Tisdale CD and the soundtrack to the rebooted "Fame."

NY T-SHIRT @ HOT TOPIC
Hot Topic's new Tokio Hotel logo shirt's cool and all, but I got in touch with Matthew at the Names Brand - he's the guy responsible for those Barack and Jonas Brothers tees - and he whipped up a couple different styles of Tokio Hotel Names Brand tees. The Tokio Hotel t-shirt above is the cranberry glitter version, it's just $25, and it's the most grosses kino thing I've seen all day!
As you can see, the guys' names are listed as "Bill & Tom & Georg & Gustav," so if you don't like the order, you'll just have to deal, okay? Deal.

TH & DESMOND CHILD
Do you remeber the hit "I was made for loving you" by Kiss, "Living on a Prayer" from Bon Jovi, "Hole in my Soul" of Aerosmith? the list of the co-wroted songs and produced by Desmond child is long... Indeed, 300 million albuns sold worldwide, half of them have him as producer or pricipal colaboratior. And now we knew that his writting with (to...) Tokio Hotel, as it did with the Jonas Brothers a few years ago. One thing is that is safe despite the changes that had been announced for their thirth album, the four Germans want always to be sure they sell many CDs.
BRAVO #4 - GUSTAV'S OPERATION
Drama for Tokio Hotel drummer Gustav Schäfer (20)! The Magdeburger had to be taken into emergency surgery in his hometown. Ruptured appendix, life threatening! The exclusive interview at his sick bed...
Bravo; You had an emergency surgery for your appendix. What happened?
Gustav: Two days after new years I woke up with a terrible stomach ache. I got myself some tea and thought: it will go away eventually. It did go well on some moments. But when the pain only got worst in the evening I decided to call a friend.
Bravo; Did you go to the hospital then right away?
Gustav: No, stupid enough, I didn't wanna go to the hospital. I underestimated the whole thing. My friend came over to my house and thank god talked me into going to the hospital after all.
Bravo; Did they operate on you right away?
Gustav: The doctors first did a few little tests and after that immediately took me into surgery!
Bravo; A ruptured appendix can be very dangerous. How bad was it all?
Gustav: The doctors told me that if had gotten there a little later it all could have ended differently. It was really close. Off course you know that a ruptured appendix can be dangerous. I don't get from myself why I acted the way I did. I owe my friend a lot.
Bravo; How did the surgery go? How long did it take? Do you still feel pain?
Gustav: The surgery took about an hour and happened while I was under full anaesthetics. The doctors made three small holes in my belly. They operated through that. Three days later, on 5 January I was released from the hospital.
Bravo; Do you still have pain?
Gustav: I barely feel pain anymore. But my belly doesn't really feel great either of course
STAR CLUB
Reclaimed in America, North Africa and in Europe, the four boys should launch into a tour marathon!
But what becomes of Tokio Hotel? After many months of being under medai surveillance, they dissappeared from French radio and television coverage. Their new album, expected to come out in January 2009, has been postponed to spring. Has this phenomenon been stunted? (?) Not necessarily...
At work...
Bill: "No, we are not separated. Tom and I are nutcases about work. We spend our time writing new songs, testing them and reworkign them. We'll come back strongly, believe me!"
Preparation...
Tom: "Yes, the release of the album has been postponed until spring of 2009. We don't know the date because you have to be ready. (?) Releasing a new album means to set out again on the roads of the world. We would love to do it, but all four of us need to take care of our health before starting again. But if our fans miss us, we will return as soon as possible."
In America...
Bill: "We know that people said that the Americans don't like us at all, and that it won't work in the states. But the night of the VMA's proved otherwise! We met at Hollywood, surrounded by international stars, and suddenly, we heard our name! We won the award of Best Newcomers! There were very big names there such as Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry. Afterwards, we celebrated with a party!
In South America...
Tom: "We also went to Mexico to do promotions for our music and we were received like Mexican stars. We spent hours signing autographs and we saw fans crying when we approached. It was very touching. We didn't know that we were liked there as well. We have to Internet to thank for that. I know that the fans of the world exchange info about us."
You hate...
Bill: "The worst are the attacks from the paparazzi. It's impossible to do anything without being photographed. Even during our vacation, they surprised us in our bathing suits."
Tom: " It is the same in France and in America. They try to catch us at our worst moments and take the worst pictures. One time in New York, I was having something to drink by myself, just to take a break. And the day after, I learned that Tokio Hotel is separated because I was alone in a bar."
Bill: "Oh yeah! Another dance in France, I was sitting on the ground during a repetition (?) to take a break, and I wasn't smiling. The morning after, I discovered that I was depressed and exhausted, and exploited by my management. It's such BS!"
Lessening the pressure...
Bill: "I know that I need to take a break. I was often sick in the past year and it's very annoying to be sick far from home. You feel very lonely...it had to be held because we had a very crazy schedule. I took photos without pleasure responded poorly at interviews. The only thing that I did gladly was signing autographs. I was time to take a break!"
And girls?
Tom: "I have the impression that I'm calm around girls. I seduce them a lot, but it doesn't amuse me anymore. I wonder whether or not I would be ready for a real relationship...under the condition that the girl is absolutely amazing!
Bill: "Me, I'm beginning to worry. More time has passed, and more people are becoming suspicious. When a girl approaches me during an after-show, I always ask if she's waiting for me. Does she want Bill from Tokio Hotel or is it really me that interests her? It really hurts me to not have a girlfriend. Fortunately I still have my music!
Tokio Hotel Haters...
Bill: "I know that they're are anti-Tokio-Hotel-campaigns in Germany and in some European countries. But I also learned that certain fans have been harassed in middle school or high school because they are fans. That's unacceptable! It's normal that there are people who don't like us. You can't please everybody...but when they take it out on our fans, I think its disgusting."
New Look?
Bill: "You want me to get rid of my look? It's not because we are approaching the release of a new album that I'm changing. I do whatever I feel like doing at the moment. It's true that I stopped putting streaks in my hair. Everybody can see it on my statue at Madam Tussaud's. But my look is not a marketing product that I change according to albums or tours. It depends on the moment and if I want to change anything. And in this case, it'll be a surprise for everybody!"

BRAVO #3
Sunshine, beach, pure relaxation: Tokio Hotel relax during a vacation.
The Sun burns the naked skin, the turquoise ocean silently waves, and the small sandgrails tickle the soles. It would be a dream for a day, which nowadays doesn't exist in the big winter. While everybody wraps themselves in their thickest coat in Germany, and their tooth chatters, till then Bill and Tom Kaulitz (19) from Tokio Hotel, feel very well on the Maldives. Meanwhile, it became a kind of ritual, that the Tokio Hotel-Twins desire relaxation in the cold season. 8.000 km from Germany, the brothers relax at the Indian-Ocean and they enjoy the life.
But hoppla - Something is not correct! The white-blue flowery short covers Tom's shapely bottom. One year ago Bill was on holiday in the same piece on the beach of Ari-Atoll. It is the real brother love! Bill revealed in an interview: "We share everything with each other." Everything - except the love of the tattoos. "I don't disfigure my body" explicated Tom his dislike for tattoos. Anyway, his brother, Bill stands this question differently: in November was in evidence his XXL - Tattoo on his left side. On the Maldivien-beach Bill showed his newest tattooed sentences on his bust with the first time: "Wir hören nie auf zu schreien" and "Wir kehren zum Ursprung zurück."
Eye-catching; That, Bill is very thin again and his ribs are visible. Opposite of him, Tom is very well-trained: his abdominal is nicely visible and his funny "bunch"- hairstyle. And it seems, Bill envied his brother's mane - he has short dreadlocks since then! Wow: he looks like a loose island-guy. Simply hot!
TH & WHITE STRIPES?
JACK WHITE AND TOKIO HOTEL??
Or at least Jack White and Tom Kaulitz, they met in Las Vegas and the young Kaulitz expressed his admiration for the guitar player from Detroit. Tom Kaulitz always admired Jack White and the White stripes, and ones of his favorites songs is "Seven nation army" and one of the first he was able to play in his guitar when he was learning as a child.
Both expressed their intention of doing something together someday... maybe this day is not that far?

Bill and Tom Kaulitz's holidays in Maldives;
What's with the hieroglyphs the half naked Bill has there on his body? Bill and Tom Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel are relaxing after a very exhausting, yet very successful year [ 3 "MTV Awards", Echo, US tour] in their favorite vacation paradise. Lying around lazily everyday while getting baked in the sun, splashing around in the sea and simply getting away from their rock star life.
Eye-catching is: Bill's new tattoo on the left half side of his upper body. Two sentences that entwine into one another: "Wir hören nie auf zu schreien / Wir kehren zum Ursprung zurück". The first sentence supposedly stands for Bill's rebelling, and the second about his strong bond to his family.

DISCO DIGITAL, INTERVJU
How is to grow up and have such a different life of the other people of your age?
Bill: When me and Tom started recording our first album, we had 13 years old. After two years, we released "Durch den Monsun" that exploded in Germany and got the first place at the top. everything was repetitive. We grew up as public figures and we were obliged to get used to it. But we are living a dream. We are travelling the whole world playing. We have the best fans of the Universe who love us and understand us. It's everything we could want.
Do you still believe in dreams or the "real life" made you change your minds?
Bill: We still believe.
Tom: Yes, a mundial tour would be awesome...
It's possible to explain the phenomenon Tokio Hotel?
Bill: To talk the truth, no. Everything we made was play and feel that there were persons interested in our music and in our lyrics. People who knew who we were and from where we are. People who felt identified with us. But it still very strange to see where we are now. We don't even had some support. We just wanted to be who we were. We can't explain this success.
Which bans inspire you?
Bill: We never had a idol or a inspiration.
Tom: we all hear different music. The only one where we agree with each other it's our music. Since the beggining, we wanted to have our personality, which started happening when we were pratice our music. We never wanted to have the sound of this artist or the other.
Is different to play in Germany and in foreign coutries?
Bill: we can't change too much. We know that, individually, the fans are some kind of differents. But all the want to share with us the energy and excitement. That's why our concerts are big celebrations. We love that sensation.
What's the importance of Bill's image?
Bill: We aren't a band made of images. what we want is to be free and express ourselfs. We alwasy did that. What do you see, is what I am!
The new DVD «Caught On Camera» tells who are Tokio Hotel in their own?
Bill: Of course! We wanted to take our fans in a trip of this year. We wanted them to feel with us and to live our experiences, as they were there. That's why, we decided to show our most intimitate, funniest and personal moments. There are some situtations that people never saw us.

Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz and Tom Kaulitz spend their Christmas holidays at home in Germany:
the brothers Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel, must have found a somewhat crazy idea. They went to the Caribbean. Here, Bill tested the effect of his new hairstyle (a bit the same, except some nice effects with white bits) and his new tattoo, which covers the side with a wire line on a beach in Normandy 44.
