The adventures of Mr. Bouvier

Let’s have a little rest from all the recent official updates and let’s take a look at what the lead singer of Simple Plan, Pierre Bouvier, has been up to lately. Even though he has been pretty busy with all the stuff that’s going on with his band, he made some time to head back to California for a while and meet up with his tattoo artist, Aaron Della Vedova (who has already worked on some of Pierre’s previous tattoes) so that Aaron could continue working on Pierre’s next tattoo.

According to the video, that was posted on Guru Tattoo’s (Aaron’s tattoo shop) Facebook page, you can see it’s actually an octopus tattoo, which spreads around Pierre’s whole right leg.

As of this moment, (or at least according to what we’ve been able to spot) Pierre currently has tattoes on his ankle, arm, side of stomach and now on his leg. You can check out the full size of the pictures of Pierre’s new tattoo (on the right) in our gallery.

And we’re gonna stick with Pierre for another while: it’s not been very long since Pierre has finally crossed the magical barrier of 100 000 followers on Twitter, so he decided to give something back to his loyal fans and came up with a surprise: the first part of it is a video of Pierre playing drums for the new Simple Plan song “Can’t Keep My Hands Off You” (the second part of the surprise should be a Ustream webchat: the time has not been announced yet, but I’ll keep you informed on our Facebook and Twitteru). This is what Pierre noted to the video:

Here is me pursuing one of my passions… drums! I played over our song “Can’t keep my hands off you” with my Vdrums. You’ll notice a glitch at the end of the bridge. I had to cut and edit the drum fill cause i suck too much and i couldn’t get it right the first take. LOL… Chuck is pretty good. Enjoy!

New music video: Can’t Keep My Hands Off You

Today Simple Plan have officially premiered their new music video from their forthcoming album – for the song “Can’t Keep My Hands Off You”. Although the video was set to premiere at 12pm EST on AOL, it has been available on the AOL website for a couple of hours now.

Once again – this is NOT the first single (although some radio stations decided to release it as one), but as it’s going to be featured in the upcoming Disney movie Prom, the guys decided to create a themed video for it.

Enjoy:

Will Natasha Bedingfield be featured on the English version of Jet Lag?

Ever since the boys shot the music video for the song Jet Lag two days ago, lots of rumours have started spreading on the internet. I can confirm that Jet Lag will be the song that has been already mentioned by Simple Plan to be available in two versions: in English and in French and (as you’ve been already informed before) one of the featurings on this song should be Marie-Mai.

Wait.. did I just say ONE of the featurings? Yes! Apparently Marie-Mai should only be singing the vocals on the French version of Jet Lag, yet the English version should feature the British singer Natasha Bedingfield, which you may remember from hits such as Unwritten, These Words, or most recently Pocket Full of Sunshine, which you may have heard in the movie Easy A.

It is important to mention that Simple Plan have not confirmed any of the two featurings of these two ladies. At least not yet. What do YOU think about them?

Video from the making of Jet Lag music video


A new video has been posted on YouTube, which includes shots from the set of the music video for the song Jet Lag, that Simple Plan made two days ago at the Toronto airpost. This video includes a short interview with Pierre and then also with the whole band and you can check it out right here:

New featuring rumour: Marie-Mai to sing on Jet Lag?

Most of the Simple Plan fans are by now probably already aware of the fact that the 4th Simple Plan album will be filled with many collaborations: with a bunch of co-producers, producers, song-writers and singers – from Claude Kelly and Alex Gaskarth, to Rivers Cuomo. Though, not all the names of famous personalities, who have worked on the upcoming Simple Plan release, have been announced yet. As the band has said – there are still lots of surprises to come.

And one of them might have leaked onto the internet already: a French-Canadian singer Marie-Mai, who has been one of the top finalists of the singing competition Star Académie, was spotted at the shooting of Jet Lag on Toronto airport (Marie-Mai was apparently NOT on the set of Jet Lag, yet it is rumoured she WILL be singing on the song). Now, because Simple Plan have already mentioned there will be a guest appearence on Jet Lag, chances are Marie-Mai could be another interesting collaboration on the new Simple Plan record. And if she’s actually singing, that would make her the first woman to ever have a duet with Simple Plan.

Also, eTalk has recently aired a video including both artists:
