BEVISET!
HÄR kan du se videon där Bill säger att han har en ny
tatuering! Hela Bill spricker upp i världens största smile
när dom frågar, sött!
Sen den nu!
- - -
Folk frågade Bill senare igen om han kunde visa tatueringen, svaret ;
"Noooo, I'd have to take my pants down to show you all of it."
OH YEAH!
På radiostationen QI02. Han sa också att den var stor och att
den tog 4 timmar att göra.
Video på Bill när han säger det finns, kommer senare

Haha, förlåt men jag var så tvungen att ha den som dagens bild ;>
BILLS NYA TATUERING
- I TOTALLY asked Bill if he had a new tattoo and he was like maaayyybe
with a huge ass grin on his face! He is such a terrible lier he got a new one.
La sigh. I looove those boys.
Okej, nu är det väl bara ett "riktigt" bildbevis som fattas, haha
YES! TEEN
THE SKITTLES STORY
Fler personer som var på signeringen och som sedan åkte samma väg
därifrån med killarnas turnebuss säger att Tom & Georg i princip hängde ut
genom det främsta fönstret i bussen och kastade skittles (?) på bilar som
körde förbi.
Låter helskumt tycker jag, och jag tror nog inte på det föränns jag ser bevis, haha

BILL HAR EN NY TATUERING?
Bill har en ny tatuering ;
Den ska sitta på motsatt sida mot hans stjärntatuering och ett flertal
personer som stog längst fram på Atlanta konserten säger att dem
har sett den! Den ska ha vart helt i svart och ha samma snirkliga
struktur som hans freiheit tatuering. Han ska också ha försökt dölja
den genom att hålla armen lite för hela tiden.

säger att det bara finns 3st stolar vid signeringsbordet och inte 4st, this is wierd.
SCANS BRAVO #44
NÄR SLÄPPS EGENTLIGEN NYA ALBUMMET?
att det skulle släppas i början av 2009, runt Februari någongång, nu enligt Franska
Universal så kommer det att släppas "innan" sommaren 2009. Det känns som om
det har blivit ännu mer framskjutet. Men vem vet, TH kanske överraskar oss helt när
det gäller det nya albummet, och det finns nog inte mycket annat än att vänta och se.

The first disc, called "The History", sees the German group to review and comment on the last twelve months they have gone crazy. The first DVD actually contains all new images released by the singer Bill Kaulitz and his henchmen on Tokio Hotel TV on their official website, and includes several exclusive footage never broadcast, feature stories of four members of the German group.
The first disk proposed "Tokio Hotel TV - Caugh On The Camera", "The History," also offers a series of images and backstage Tokio Hotel in private, conducted in 2007 and 2008, throughout the journeys of the German group in Europe and the USA elsewhere. After the first puck, the second named "The Future" is as unique as it proposes to follow Tokio Hotel in the preparation of their new studio album, which will be released during 2009 to worldwide, including in France on Polydor. The second DVD presents the exclusive German group in privacy during their moments of relaxation between two trips promo and recording their third studio project. Each fan will discover the scenes of the preparation of the new studio album of the Leader Bill Kaulitz and his henchmen, the materialization of ideas in music, writing texts or recording of their original titles.
Finally, the followers of Tokio Hotel will be delighted to hear exclusive excerpts from several models of the new songs of the German group. At a time when the singer Bill Kaulitz and his cronies are caught between promoting their new studio album in English in the USA and recording their third studio album, with worldwide release is expected before summer 2009, their new double DVD released in three versions beginning in December in France on Polydor. First, a standard edition of "Tokio Hotel TV - Caugh On The Camera" is presented. It includes a digest of the contents of the two washers, "The History" and "The Future" on DVD.

BLOGAMOLE INTERVJU
Scream!!! We already hear the energía echoing across the border for Los Premios! Want to slide your way into the eye of the storm? Entonces grab your trusty sombrilla and prepare yourself to get drenched in our exclusive Tokio Hotel "Monsoon"!
October 16th has finally arrived, which means we have swapped our shameless reminders for dark eyeliner, hairspray, sunblock, and a (virgin) piña colada. Our pre-gaming glory is never complete without an overdose of celebrity chisme, and identical brothers Bill and Tom are here to add an extra cherry to nuestro refresco. The Los Premios performers and nominees, spoke to us exclusively about their trip to Mexico and their secret Spanish-speaking skills (si señor!). Grab your full fix right below the hood!
What artists are you looking forward to spotting at Los Premios?
Bill: Oh, we are really looking forward for the whole event. Being there, seeing all the artists - I bet there will be a lot of great performances. Then our own performance and being nominated ... It's really a big thing for us and we're excited to be there.
How bad do you want to win the coveted Los Premios tongue award?
Tom: Winning an award is always great but for us it's really exciting just to be nominated. We've only been to Mexico once before. So, like Bill said, we are just excited to be there.
Any particular Latin artist you would like to collaborate with?
Tom: Well, there are a couple of great Latin artists and who knows, maybe someday we'll do a collaboration - but nothing is set yet.
Does anyone in the band know how to speak Spanish?
Bill: [Laughing] I know ‘Hola' and ‘Gracias'! But no, unfortunately none of us speak Spanish. You guys definitely need to teach us some when we come.
Tom: [Smiling] Yes, I really need some great lines for the beautiful girls over there ...
As German musicians, do you ever feel like your English tracks get lost in translation?
Bill: Our lyrics are really important to us and we really want everybody to understand them. So that was the reason why we as band decided to do an English album. We chose our favorite songs from the first and second German album and did a one-to-one translation. [Laughing] We got some help on that, cause obviously our English isn't too good. But the most important thing to us was that none of the meaning of each song got lost. That's why we decided on a one-to-one-translation.
What can fans expect from the band for the rest of 2008?
Bill: We will be busy with working "Scream" the album for the rest of the year. After Los Premios, we'll go over to the States and play a couple of shows and promote the album. In November we will be at the European Music Awards and I think we'll be busy until Christmas. Besides that we take every chance to go into the studio to work on our third German Album. So, there's lot left to do for us till the rest of 2008.

"We wouldn't cope the end of Tokio Hotel"
In the last part of the Tokio-Hotel-series are the guys very thoughtful!
Full halls, front charts-places, prices on the assembly line, millions of fans all over the world - currently Tokio Hotel are absolute high-flyers. But every now and then, Bill (19), Tom (19), Gustav (20) and Georg (21) think about the time after the hype. So much for them is clear: A life without their band, no one of them can't imagine this: "Tokio Hotel is our life," says Bill. "Would the band be at the end, a piece of us would die. I can't imagine anything else," he says. And Tom adds: "We don't live in a dream bubble, and know that sometimes other people in the charts will be ahead ahead. It's clear to us." Do the boys have fear for havong a crahs? "We wouldn't cope that," says Bill. "We gave everything up for the band - a normal life is just hardly possible. But we won't take drugs in any case. Sure, it's always easy said in the run-up. You never know. But we will solve this differently." But to think about the end of the band, is not to think at the moment. The boys are currently working on her third album. "That's something very new," says Tom. "And we also fiddle about a surprise for our German fans"

Tokio Hotel Fan Party!
As a big THANK YOU for your incredible support at the MTV Video Music Awards, Tokio Hotel will host
a cool fan party in a European city. Time and location are not confirmed yet but we will reveal all the details
within the next two weeks so make sure to check back on Tokio Hotel's official homepage regularly to

ALBUMET UTE 2009?
Contrary to what they announced during summer, the next Tokio Hotel album is not going to be released before the holidays, but between January and March 2009. It's the band's manager, David Jost, who recently announced it. It would seem that the CD, which started to be recorded after the band's most recent and glorious american tour, is very inspired but also very rock. At least, that's what the talented quartet's mentor explained:"The sound is tougher than the one in the precedent albums, Bill has had ideas for new songs for a few months, he passes all his free time on writing lyrics." So we reasonably have to expect for the new album to be a masterpiece.

ONE #34 INTERVJU
So guys, glad to be back home after your American journey?
Bill:Yes, we are very happy to be back home and with our families ... We really loved to spend all this time in the United States, but we really began to have difficulties with the country. A month abroad is a long time ...
Tom:As for me, I admit that it really wouldn't have bothered me to stay a little longer. I love the US. First, in terms of clothes, it's really great there. I brought a ton of clothes and several pairs of sneakers that you can't find in Europe. And then, I feel really comfortable in big cities like New York and Los Angeles. I really enjoyed it there ...
Your goal was to break through in the United States. Do you have the feeling that you have attained it?
Tom:Frankly, none of us four expected that there'd be so many fans at our concerts. It has always been sold out and the public was as crazy over there as in Europe. I think, we have fulfilled our contract. The mission is accomplished in a way (laughter).
Georg:We all feel to have managed to achieve something great. I don't think that before us a German band has met such hype in the USA.
Yet, one can slow a bit down the enthusiasm of your American success: during your promo there, you have sold only 100,000 albums, while the goal was to reach 500,000...
Bill:You're right, despite our efforts, "Scream" has not really taken off in the U.S. charts. Frankly, I don't know what the reason is. We have done our best to make our music known to as many people, but the U.S. market is very difficult to access for foreign artists. However, without wanting to sing our own praises, selling 100,000 albums is still enormous for a German band. We are not disappointed by this result.
Tom:What we enjoyed the most was to receive an MTV Video Music Awards for Best New Artist. We didn't expect that at all since we were in competition with Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry or Taylor Swift, who are far more popular than us over there. To receive this award was a real shock. To date, it may be the best reward we have received for our career. In addition, I must say that I really enjoyed seeing the confused puss of Miley Cyrus when the winners, in other words us, have been announced ... (laughter)
You don't seem to have taken her to your heart...
Tom:On the one hand, I am not a fan of what she does, plus, she doesn't have the physical criteria that I look for in a girl. So, everything is said. (laughter)
Bill: Tom talks bullshit, as usual! He is an uptight fan of "Hannah Montana", I've have already caught him watching some episodes secretly. (laughter)
Tom:We will settle that tonight. Secretly ...
How many times have you been asked where did the band name come from when you were in the US?
Bill:(laughter) I don't know. 250 times, the number of interviews we gave there ... I thought, we had returned three years back. The total horror.
Tom: "How did you come to music" is also a question that has often been asked ... Of course, it's boring having to repeat the same thing for the thousandth time. But it makes humble, it reminds us that not everyone is supposed to know us. It does us good to regain that feeling to start from scratch or almost... We've got down a bit from our little cloud.
Georg:Yeah, but I admit that it's annoying, though. I thought that American journalists would have a little better swot their subject before meeting us. Alas, no ...
If you have to treasure a noteworthy event of this trip, which would it be?
Bill:For me, it would probably be one of the signing sessions that we organized in a record store. It's always great to be able to meet our fans and listen to the stories they tell. These meetings have inspired me a lot for our next album ...
Tom:As for me, I especially remember the times when two fans managed to get into my hotel room while I was getting ready to go to bed. I have absolutely no idea how they managed to find us ... However, I must say it was a rather pleasant surprise. But I can not tell you the sequel, I let that to your imagination ... (laughter)
Let's talk about serious things now, the preparation of your third album. What is its state of affairs exactly?
Tom:We are just about to go into the studio. Needless to say we are 100% focused on this new project. That is why you will certainly not hear much about us in the coming months ...
Bill:Yes, we are aware that this is one of the most important steps in our career. The pressure is enormous, but we try not to think about it too much. Our goal is to ensure that this album is simply the best we have recorded.
What can we expect sound-wise?
Tom: The idea is to make songs that surprise our fans and show a facet of us they probably don't know. We don't want to rest on our achievements and record a second "Zimmer 483". The idea is to take some more risks, while maintaining our identity ..
Bill:We also want our lyrics to be more personal. That is certainly the effort that I make. Everything I've experienced in the past year greatly inspired me and I filled notebooks full of lyrics ...
If this third album was going worse than the previous two, would that make you worry about the continuation of your career?
Bill: I know that it would please some people if we fail with our next album. The success has not only attracted sympathies for us, far from it... Now, we don't rack our brains over it. As I said, we are going to make the best possible album. And if it is less well received than "Schrei" or "Zimmer 483", frankly, it wouldn't be the end of the world ...
Tom: Actually, no band can stay on top forever, we are aware of that. For now, our career is like a fairy tale, it is almost too good to be true. We'll surely experience throwbacks. But whatever happens, we are so passionate about music that we'll never stop doing it, that's for sure.

EXPRESS.DE ARTIKEL
Four boys that just want some peace: Tokio Hotel. Essentially Bill, Tom, Gustav and Georg should be working on there third album like crazy.
There focus is now constantly interrupted because of another awardshow.
Tokio hotel can't seem to break out of the celebration of awards. After the Echo, Goldener Kamera and four comet awards Bill and Tom Kaulitz (both18), Gustav Schafer (20) and Georg Listing (21) won a MTV Video Music Award for "Best Newcomer" at the beginning of September 2008 in los Angeles.
After this triumph in America the four boys wanted to lock themselves away in the studio in Hamburg to finally produce there third album. The record company is pressuring a lot - the record has to be released at the same time all over the world ( something that only happens with megastars like Madonna or the Rolling Stones).
But it won't go like that: The four Magdeburgers are now nominated for the MTV Latin Awards (on 16 October in Mexico) and also the MTV Europe Music Awards (on 6 November in Liverpool). Lots of stress on the program.
"It gives us trouble keeping up with that time planning for the third album", tells manager David Jost to Express. With every awardshow ( and Universal expects the four boys to be there) the boys are torn away from the studio and that even when every day now counts.
The Tokio Hotel fans expect some fresh and new "TH-material" for there ears.

The dark side of success
It is not all gold that glitters. Tokio Hotel is also annoyed of some sites of their celebrity life.
For three years, they are under constant observation. Whether on holiday on the Maldives, the stroll through Paris or in front of every hotel in the world. Wherever Bill (19), Tom (19), Gustav (20) and Georg (21) stay, paparazzi are not far, an photoflash-storm goes down to the guys. Not always to the delight of the four, as they betrayed BRAVO.
BRAVO: What do you hate in your life as a star?
BILL: The positive outweighs the course. But I hate it, that we don't have any private stuff. And the badest thing are the paparazzi!
TOM: For us, it's important, to protect the life of our family and freinds. They have nothing to do with our job. If we are with them, it's bad for us, especially when paparazzi appear.
BILL: You have to be truly an evil man, to be a paparazzi. I hate them.
BRAVO: Thereby, you have luck here in Germany - here are paparazzi harmless.
TOM: That's true. In other countries it's really harder. In France and America are the paparazzi the most glaring.
BRAVO: What is annoying you?
BILL: Sometimes, everything it too much for me. Then I lie in the bed and think: "I can't anymore!" Then I will simply not stand up, can't laugh for a shooting into the camera or inspire people. I feel as if someone have to help me. Because I totally lacking self-confidence and I simply want a break.
TOM: Sometimes I have homesickness.
GEORG: When I'm long on the road, I miss my family. And then, sometimes I get a bad mood.
BILL: I get oftener sich. And if I'm away from home, is this terrible. Then I'm missing Germany totally. I'm also sad, when I'm alone in the hotel room. As much as I love it, to be with the band on the road - in hotel rooms I'm really sentimental. I can't even say exactly why. But then I wish myself into my own bed. While Tom would never admit it, but I bet he is sometimes sad. At the latest, when his hotel room acquaintances are gone again.
TOM: I also miss often the german toilet paper. (laughs). If we are at the end of the world, we're really looking forward to coming home ...
BRAVO: You have to live with many scandals and rumors. How do you handle with it?
BILL: Mostly we know it before, what there will be. Sooner, when we had dinner at the club, we knew exactly what there will be at the next day in the newspaper: "Teenagers drink alcohol. How can they be a role model?!"
TOM: Or something like: "Tom sits alone at the table - separates the band?", is also very popular.
GUSTAV: Or: "Bill looks sad - does he have depressions?"
TOM: Everything, that people, who never know us personally, write about us, I don't really care. But if it's about our families, it's not okay.
BRAVO: There was the story about your grandfather, who allegedly shooted around.
BILL: The funny thing is, that this wasn't our grandfather. We even didn't knew this man.
TOM: Just over 20,000 corners. But everbody says, that we're related with him.
BILL: Just like in school. There was then suddenly every girl with us together and each class mates were our best friends. And I should also owe all the people twenty euro.
