Taylor touches down

Taylor Swift landed back in Los Angeles yesterday after completing a huuuuge 13 month tour for her Speak Now album. The final dates saw her performing to fans in Australia and New Zealand but over the past year she's entertained audiences in North and South America, all over Europe, and Japan. Phew! After her final show, Tay tweeted her thoughts saying, 'Tonight we ended a 13 month tour. It was a beautiful trip around the world and I wouldn't trade those memories for anything. Thanks guys.' We love Taylor Swift's concerts and can't wait for her next one! Did you see her perform on the Speak Now tour?

McWriters

Those McFly boys are a talented bunch and to prove to us just how awesome they are, Tom and Dougie from the band have signed a two-book deal! The books will be aimed at children and their first, hilariously called The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas will be out in the shops from October. Nope, we couldn't work out how a dino poops an entire holiday either but Tom gave us a bit of an explanation... 'For anyone who knows us, it is easy to see that this book comes from Dougie's fascination with reptiles, my love of Christmas, and a shared obsession with poop. We approached writing this book in the same way that we write our lyrics. The plot is brilliantly simple – a baby dinosaur who has a big appetite gets a bit carried away!'

We look forward to reading the lads' story! Will you be buying a copy?

Cartoon Katy!

We at GG Towers are huuuuuge Katy Perry fans and we also love getting to create our own cool worlds in the Sims games on our computers. When it was announced that Katy was going to be given her very own Sims character and that we would be able to get to play as her in the new Sims 3 Showtime game, we couldn't wait! We're never going to get to dance about on stage with gingerbread men and giant lollipops so this is definitely the next best thing, obvs. Ms. Perry was rather excited too and spilled, "It's cool to see the Sims' stage performances in The Sims 3 Showtime decked out just like my California Dreams tour - even my cotton candy video screens are in there! I always like to think of myself as a cartoon, and now I'm a Sim!'

The Sims 3 Showtime is out now to buy, so we'll see you (and Katy!) on the Sims stage soon!
