14th April 2012 Celebrity Trending - Trisha Yearwood, Gotye, Frances Bean Cobain

Country music superstar Trisha Yearwood has entertained millions with a microphone and her voice.

Now she’s set to do it with a stove and a cup of sugar.

Yearwood is the star of the new “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen,” which debuts at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, April 14, on the Food Network.

Making action in the kitchen entertaining is not as not as easy as it looks.

“When I’m cooking at home, I’m not explaining to whoever’s in the vicinity what I’m doing, and I’m not smiling, and I’m not trying to figure out, ‘Do I use my left hand and my right hand to use the mixer?’ ” Yearwood said. “All those things is definitely like chewing gum and patting your head at the same time — it’s been a challenge.”

IIt's the hit that almost wasn't, a simple song that's become a ­worldwide smash but nearly disappeared before it was even finished. Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" started with a spare, nylon-stringed ­guitar riff lifted from "Seville," an instrumental recording by the late Brazilian bossa nova guitarist Luiz Bonfá.

The two notes, looped, ­became a conversation in the head of Wouter "Wally" De Backer, the ­gregarious 31-year-old Belgian-born, Australia-based artist who performs under the name Gotye (pronounced "Gauthier"). "That Luiz Bonfá sample directly prompted the first line of lyrics," Gotye recalls, a thick Australian accent burying any trace of his European roots. "The back-and-forth left me thinking about these ­different breakups and different relationships over the years, and the lyrics flowed from there."

That eureka moment came in the fall of 2010, although it would take Gotye another six months to find the female vocalist who gives the track its knockout punch. In fact, he says he toyed with abandoning "Somebody" at the recording stage, when his (unnamed) original choice of female vocalist pulled out. But fast forward to the present, and "Somebody That I Used to Know" (Samples 'N' Seconds/Fairfax/Universal Republic) -- a rhythmic, slow-building duet in which two former lovers, portrayed by Gotye and New Zealand singer Kimbra Johnson, trade accusations ("I think of all the times you screwed me over") -- is all but inescapable the world over.

Frances Bean Cobain is blasting her mother, Courtney Love, over comments made earlier this week.

Love wrote on her private Twitter account that former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, 43, had "hit on" her 19-year-old daughter, and "she was curious."
"I'm not mad at her, him i am about to shoot dead," Love wrote.

Cobain later released a statement explaining, "While I'm generally silent on the affairs of my biological mother, her recent tirade has taken a gross turn. I have never been approached by Dave Grohl in more than a platonic way."

I'm in a monogamous relationship and very happy," explained Cobain, who's engaged to Rambles frontman Isaiah Silva.

"Twitter should ban my mother," said the daughter of late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain.
