When it gets to sunrise, I'm waking up alone...
Just a quick update about the Star Wars charity quiz. Tom, Dougie, Giovanna, Lara and the rest of their table came in 7th. Tom said on Twitter: "Not bad considering some people in the room were actually IN Star Wars!!! ...although we did have Boba Fett on our table...yes the actual man who played Boba Fett...pretty badass team mate!" Dougie couldn't totally agree with Tom, he tweeted: "Even with the dude that plays boba fett on our table we only came 6th! Like totally FML".

Simon's secret:
In any other news... We hope everyone's keeping an eye on Simon Mitchell's
Facebook page. Last week he uploaded a sneak peek of McFly artwork. Today he shared the message:
"I could so easily show you guys what im working on at the moment but I think McFly and TMB might kill me......(but its so tempting)..........ha ha ha :) I will however do another sneaky peek tomorrow!!! (obviously its not gonna give too much away - but it will be in colour............) So what ya wanna see?"
We randomly found out he's working on a poster for "something coming in the spring". Keep Calm And Play Louder tour poster maybe? To be continued! In the meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled on Simon's Facebook page
facebook.com/SIMITCHELL.CO.UK (click right to open in new tab).
We don't know whether this is true or not, but today we recieved a message from Press Party with the latest McFly article about Dougie. Since the untrue Danny/Georgia gossip, we're very careful with articles like this, the article below isn't confirmed, so we can't tell if this is really true.
McFly's Dougie Poynter talks going tee-total
(Source: Press Party)
McFly's Dougie Poynter has revealed that his McFly bandmates have been toning down their drinking in an effort to help him out.
Poynter entered rehab early last year, with his admission attributed to stress and his break up with the Saturdays' Frankie Sandford.
The bassist is now also tee-total and he told the Mirror that his bandmates have reducing their drink intake to help him - although the novelty of drinking seems to have worn off for the boys. He said:
"None of the boys really drink now to help me out. We are all a bit more grown-up now, so the novelty has kind of worn off. In the early days of McFly, we went wild!"
The I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! 2011 winner also revealed that he's not missing alcohol - and admits that he is a lot more productive as a result. He added:
"I'm not missing the booze. I had to give up because I always took it too far. Now I'm clear-headed, I like being hangover-free - I get a lot more achieved. Once you get through that barrier at events and nights out, you realise you aren't getting drunk and it's fine."
Tom Fletcher's re-buff
(Source: Daily Star)
MCFLY’S Tom Fletcher might be getting hitched soon, but he’s not bothered about getting buff again.
The singer, 26, told us: "I don’t do the gym any more, hell no. I have given that up."
"I will leave that to Harry now."
"I can’t believe how well he looks after Strictly, there is not an ounce of fat on him at the moment."
