Thats a shame i was lookin forward to it. If hes not well though its better that he rests. Hope he feels better soon

Just thought id bring the info about theirs new home onto here. Natasha Henstridge and Darius Campbell Do It Suburban-style BUYER: Natasha Henstridge and Darius Campbell LOCATION: Sherman Oaks, CA PRICE: $1,300,000 SIZE: 3,476 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms YOUR MAMAS NOTES: When she was just 14 years old actress Natasha Hentsridge legally emancipated herself, packed her bags, left the Canadian trailer park where she lived with her parents and decamped for the chic streets of Paris where she stomped the catwalks as a fresh-faced if barely pubescent walking manikin. At 15 she appeared on the cover of the French version of Cosmopolitan. Six years and several commercials later Miss Henstridge made her film debut in the sci-fi thriller Species. More films followed (The While Nine Yards and its sequel) as well as a myriad of roles on the tee-vee (Eli Stone, Commander in Chief, She Spies, Would Be Kings). Miss Henstridge–by then briefly married and divorced with two children by a man who was not her first husband–met future second husband Scotsman Darius Campbell (née Danesh) in 2004 at a traffic light on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. Mister Campbell, as it turns out, was also well on his way up his own ladder of fame and fortune. In 2001, Mister Campbell was finalist on Pop Idol, the U.K.'s version of American Idol. After turning down a record deal offered by entertainment industry gajillionaire Simon Cowell, he went on to make a platinum-selling album on another label, write a book about the music industry (Sink or Swim) and appear in several musicals on London's West End, the U.K.'s Broadway. In 2010 the showbiz dilettante trained for and won the Popstar to Operastar reality program. The couple reportedly busted up in late 2009 or early 2010 but had mended their romantic fences by February 2011 when the model/actress and the pop star/divo hightailed it to the celeb-friendly San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, CA where they hitched their wagons in a ceremony so secret they didn't even tell their parents until several days after the clandestine nuptials. The Los Angeles-based newlyweds soon went on a hunt for a new crib in Tinseltown where they could live happily ever after. A brief communique from The Bizzy Boys at Celebrity Address Aerial snitched that the in early June (2011) happy ex-pat pair settled on a very ordinary (if not exactly inexpensive) spread situated south of Ventura Boulevard in super-suburban Sherman Oaks, CA. Property records reveal they paid $1,300,000 for the gated property. Listing information for the aggressively nondescript contemporary crib shows it was built in 1961, measures 3,476 square feet and has 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms including a master suite with vaulted ceiling, glass doors that open to the backyard, two custom-fitted walk-in closets and a travertine-tiled bathroom with double sinks and separate tub and shower. A double gated driveway curves up to the front of the house where the dominant feature is a front-facing, attached two-car garage. A wide half-flight of tiled stairs with decorative Spanish tile detailing climbs up to the main living area, a voluminous living/dining room with vaulted ceiling, hardwood floor, fireplace and tall banks of windows that look and lead out to the backyard. The hardwood floors continue into the sizable cook-friendly center island kitchen kitted out with Shaker-style custom cabinetry, granite counter tops, high-grade stainless steel appliances and wood-framed glass doors that open the breakfast area to the stone terrace that surrounds the swimming pool. Your Mama hopes that Mister and Missus Henstridge-Campbell remove the puny pot rack that hangs precariously over the center island. If there's anything worse than a Mercedes-sized pot rack laden with dusty cookery that craves a cranium to crash down upon it's an itty-bitty pot rack with scrolled wrought iron detailing and a Napoleon complex. Have mercy. Anyhoo, like all good houses in southern California, the Henstridge-Campbell clan's new digs offers easy-breezy indoor/outdoor living perfect for year-round grillin' and chillin'. Many of the main rooms open to the private backyard where entertainment areas includes a pergola shaded dining terrace, a stone terrace, swimming pool and spa. The horrific screen that surrounds the pool in the listing photos is meant to keep the kiddies from drowning but it's also a damn eyesore. We go berserk with annoyance over those things despite their small child-saving purpose. Miz Henstridge's humble hailing from a trailer park in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada hasn't kept her from catching a classic case of The Celebrity Real Estate Fickle; In the last 12 years she's owned no fewer than five homes in and around Sherman Oaks, including her the marital mini-manse she and the hubby just acquired. In December 2003 Miss Henstridge paid $1,360,000 for a five bedroom house in Sherman Oaks that she sold in August 2009 $1,750,000. Previous to that she owned another house in Sherman Oaks she sold in June 2003 for $2,399,000 and prior to that she owned yet another house in Sherman Oaks, this time a more modest 2,180 square foot house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that she sold in August 2001 for $689,000. Before schlepping her $h!t around to her various homes in Sherman Oaks, Miz Henstridge owned a 3,691 square foot residence in über-suburban and hot and Hades Calabasas, CA that she snatched up in May 1999 for $1,050,000 and sold not quite one year later for $1,270,000. Your Mama wonders how long Miz Henstridge will stay put in her new house of happy marriage. If real estate history repeats itself she'll be on the move again in about two years. We shall see, butter cups, we shall see.

Dont get me wrong id love the new album soon but it will happen wen it happens. its takin time but it doesnt mean hes stopped carin bout us. I no its frustrating but we shouldnt give up on him i never will.

enjoy kempton every1

It was the bit bout caring bout his fans and followers that got me. Ive met him a few times and he does care bout all his fans very much. I think if he read that bit it would rely upset him to see some people think he doesnt care. He does

He mite even give a bit of info 2nite u never no. people who r goin will hav 2 let us no.

I havnt seen him 4 a while hes always been 2 far away but wen hes close enough il b there.Ive been a fan since the beggining and always will b however long it takes.

Just read some peoples comments on his facebook bout the above tweet. One woman said it would b nice for him to update more often so it feels like he cares bout his fans and followers. I dont like that they need 2 remember yes hes a singer/songwriter but also human with a wife and family and private life. its no1 on here. we all understand that he updates wen he can i think hed b upset if he read this off a woman called margaret arnold. call me a cynic Darius,but the only time you have updated your status is to promote a concert ?? Would be good for you to update more often so we feel as though you care about your fans and followers,would be good eh ? Even more gutted cos I won't be at the concert.Enjoy :) does any1 else agree wiv me?

Thanks for all your support, it will be lovely to see you all again - I hope I can entertain you and you enjoy the show!! Love D xx

Andy bell shud of gone home in my opinion

Just read this at the bottom he says he'll b on postos on 26th may but i think he means June. On Wednesday 22nd June, Kempton Park Racecourse will welcome Platinum-selling singer-songwriter Darius Campbell, who will be headlining the entertainment on British Big Band Night after racing. Darius, who leapt to fame after winning ITV1’s Popstar to Operastar, has had five UK Top Ten singles and supported Shakira on her world tour. The popular West End leading man has been performing in some of the biggest Operatic productions in the UK and made a guest appearance at the Beatles 50th Anniversary Concert at the Royal Albert Hall. He has also starred in several West End productions including ‘Gone with the Wind’, ‘Guys and Dolls’ and Chicago. On the eve of his Kempton debut, Darius took time out to tell Eclipse Magazine readers about his passion for both music – and horseracing! How did your Big Band come about? "I was fortunate enough to meet one of my heroes Tony Bennett so I picked his brains and he kindly gave me a lot of wonderful advice for an idea that I had which was to do a tour in support of the charity Help for Heroes and to take some of Europe’s finest Big Band musicians and put on a show called the History of the Big Bands. And it turned into a great success, we managed to tour the whole country and had an amazing time interpreting the great Big Band standards through the eyes of the great Big Band leaders from Glen Miller to Duke Ellington and Count Basie. I had such a wonderful time doing it that it left a great imprint on me as a singer songwriter: it has really influenced a lof of the writing that I am doing for my new album. "And so I’m looking forward to bringing my Big Band to Kempton and giving the audience a wonderful journey through the crooning standards and Big Band Swing hits from the very northern Big Band music all the way through to the era that we all know and love that Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole made famous." Do you have a favourite song? "I’m quite partial to Fly Me To The Moon. Recently I was lucky enough to perform a gig in Los Angeles at Herb Albert’s Vibratos which is the number one jazz joint on the West Coast and I met with Quincy Jones, the legendary composer, arranger and producer. He took a song like Fly Me To The Moon which was traditionally always performed in 3–4 time which is a waltz, and he turned it on its head and turned it into the upbeat 4–4 classic that Frank Sinatra sang which is the one that we all know and love. "And so I’m certainly partial to that song as I was enlightened by the little music history lesson that I got from Quincy Jones." Is the Kempton gig part of another tour this year? "No, I’m looking forward to doing this as a one-off special fireworks extravaganza for Kempton and I’m really excited about performing at the racecourse. I’ve had a couple of gigs before that were racecourse-based and it’s always a good crowd – I played at the Grand National and also I performed a couple of private events." On this special night Kempton Park will also welcome representatives from ABF The Soldiers’ Charity with a Value for Valour tent to learn more about the lives of service men and women. Your tour was in aid of Help for Heroes last year – are these soldiers' charities important to you? "I just attended a charity night this week; Prince Harry supported a charity this year which is called Walking with the Wounded and they were doing a charity evening which I attended with some other musicians and things. "It seems that right now there is an increased and more compassionate awareness of the plight that our soldiers go through whenever they go to war and then come back often without the necessary help for their emotional and physical rehabilitation, so it is certainly something close to my heart. "I will be doing some more charity work for the charity in the future." So how about the racing side of things, are you going to be watching the racing before you play at Kempton? "Absolutely, I’m really keen to find and pick a hot favourite and hopefully look forward to what be fine weather as well, that will allow a fantastic day for the whole family." How do you choose your ‘hot favourites’? "I have no rhyme or reason other than gut instinct and something in the name and something that’s just in the whimsical placement of a bet – should it be fortuitous or sometimes not so much." Do you go to the races regularly? "I try and go every year. It’s really exciting. The Grand National is certainly a race that you often watch with bated breath because you know how dangerous it can be when the horses are making the jumps. I’ve seen a couple of really hard falls – unfortunate falls – and so it’s a very exciting sport just by definition. The race is legendary and the fact that everybody turns up dressed to the nines is also a lovely aspect of racing. "So it’s going to be a really fun day and I look forward to being there supporting the event and picking my horses and then getting on to the stage and taking the evening to a highlight where eventually we will spark the skies with fireworks." You mention the danger for the jockeys – you were injured quite badly yourself in a car crash and broke a vertebra last year – similar to Tony McCoy; do you relate to the jockeys when they are injured like that? "It’s terrible any injury that takes place and the jockeys have all sorts of things to consider when they are riding, particularly with the jumps. And of course it’s not just the jumps but the possibility of collision if one of their competitors falls on the other side and they collide with the horse that’s gone down… so it’s a very precarious and dangerous – and admittedly exhilarating – sport. "I am very much in admiration of the courage and the nerve and the focused determination that they have whenever they’re racing – and they’re racing at such high speeds as well." Have you ever owned a racehorse yourself? "No I haven’t but we recently went to polo match and just seeing them, they’re such graceful and beautiful animals. "My affection for them extended into a music video I did called Live Twice: I got the chance to run with this beautiful white stallion in the back streets of Barcelona, and it was quite a surreal experience and just being with the horse – there was a scene in the music video with the horse when it dies at the very end of the video and this magnificent beast was trained by its trainer to lie down and play dead, it was extraordinary, and at one point I got really emotional, I was like 'oh don’t die!'. So that was a beautiful experience and as animals I think they’re wonderful." Do you have any horse of your own? "No, I wish I did." So are you tempted to own a racehorse at some point in the future? Who knows, the Kempton experience may twist my arm! With your interest in horses do you actually ride as well? "Yes, I have friends that are in the New Forest and they have stables nearby that we often frequent whenever we’re in London, and we ride them whenever we can; it’s a lovely experience." But no aspirations to be a jockey? "No, I think I’m too tall!" Generally speaking do you think you would recommend racing as a day out for people? "I couldn’t recommend it higher, in that for mums and dads and for kids, and for couples, it can be a fun day out for the family, it can be a romantic day out for a couple, it’s a lovely way of experiencing the outdoors in the UK, it’s a great social event, it’s a great way to have fun with friends but also to meet new people. "And also to appreciate the beautiful animals that are so mysterious and graceful in the way that they move and so powerful; they really are inspiring to watch whether they are standing still or if they’re racing full out. "It’s an exhilarating experience and I look forward to being at Kempton and performing and entertaining at the end of the night." And finally, what other plans do you have for this year? "I’m recording my third album which will be out next year. But you can catch me on Popstar to Operastar on Sunday 26th May, I’ll be performing and I’m looking forward to seeing my friends Rolando Villazon and Katherine [Jenkins] and performing with the wonderful orchestra that they have."
