Dear flamers,

In a language all of you should be able to understand:

Charlotte was a wonderful wife. STOP. She did nothing wrong. STOP. Give her anything she wants. STOP. Seriously, mother. STOP.

Leave Keltie the fuck alone.

Sincerely, RR

REKINDLING ROMANCE AT THE DISCO?

Singer Brendon Urie and guitarist Ryan Ross of highly popular rock band Panic at the Disco are rumoured to be up to old tricks. Though never officially confirmed, the intra-band romance is wildly known among the fans to have gone on for almost five years, up until Ross’s engagement with modern dancer Keltie Colleen roughly a year ago. (The wedding was cancelled only days before it was to have taken place, and both Ross and Colleen have been extremely tight-lipped on the reasons behind the sudden break-up.) Ross and Urie were spotted alone together several times this week, walking down the beach in Malibou and sipping coffee in intimate cafés, heads held close together. Could this be the long-awaited explanation for one of this year’s most dramatic celebrity events? Keep checking in and we’ll keep you updated…

dear homophobes and stalkers

know about a guy called ryan ross? pretty, dark hair, likes to wear tight jeans and too many scarves? in love with a guy called brendon urie, who might or might not be even more beautiful? (haven’t kept up with the latest polls, baby callie has a cold.) put up any flaming posts about them on lj or buzznet lately? called their families at 2 am? broken into their hotel rooms to get pictures of the “ryden action”?

well fuck you.

these are two of my best friends and they have enough shit to deal with right now without you adding to the pile. they are not your fucking toys. spread the word, stop buying tabloids, delete perezhilton.com and celebritygossip.com from your bookmarks and knock it off.

ps. patrick says to add that he totally agrees, and you know he never, ever swears in blogs so that should tell you something about what complete assholes you are.

shame on you. now leave them the fuck alone.

Interview with Brendon Urie and Ryan Ross, Out Magazine (December 2011)

After a year of much media drama, Panic at the Disco is back in the recording studio, their fourth album, Odes to the Poetry of Robert Frost, hitting stores on Christmas Eve. OUT MAGAZINE met up with lead-singer Brendon Urie and guitarist Ryan Ross for an exclusive on music, gossip and being forced into the role of the media industry’s hot new couple.

OM: It’s been quite an overwhelming year for you guys. How would you recap the last twelve months?

RR: I don’t know if that’s actually possible. It’s just been completely crazy.
BU: Yeah, I mean, we thought we were used to it, you know? The media witch hunt, stalkers, all that. But not like this has been. It’s been rough. Really rough. We’re glad to have a new album out. Hopefully that’ll remind people of why they know who we are in the first place: because we write and play music.

OM: You came out as an official couple at the beginning of the spring, right before you left for your last European tour. Tell us a bit about that decision.

BU: Well, we didn’t want to make a grand statement or anything, because really, it has nothing to do with anyone but us and those closest to us. But at the same time, we didn’t want to stay in the closet and sneak around all the time. I love Ryan more than anything. I don’t want to pretend that he means any less to me than he does just because there are people around.
RR: We’re just another two people in love, so that’s how we chose to reveal it. Just not hiding anymore—starting calling Brendon my boyfriend in interviews, linking our profiles on Facebook, you know, the sort of things people normally do when they’re with someone.

OM: You’ve known each other for a long time, and yet both of you dated other people up until last year. You, Ryan, even almost got married at one point [to dancer Keltie Colleen, the engagement was broken off in June 2010]. What made you realize that there was something more there between you?

RR: I think we both actually realized it a long time ago—years maybe, even—but it took us a long time to get here, to really give the two of us a chance, and I’m not sorry for the people we both met on the way. If I could go back and do it all again, of course I would change some things. There are definitely times in my past that I’m not proud of, when I acted like a complete jerk, but I wouldn’t want to cut anyone away from my past. These are all people that meant a lot to me, and most of them still do.
BU: I think people sometimes forget that—that it’s not just about us. We’re not a little bubble of BrendonandRyan existing somewhere in a separate universe. We have friends and family, people that we love. And they shape us. And it hurts just as much for us to see them go as it does for anyone else. Being famous doesn’t make love easy.
RR: More the other way around.
BU: Yeah, definitely.

OM: What’s the most difficult part, would you say? Of being a so-called celebrity couple?

RR: I hate that word. Celebrity couple. Makes me feel like a cardboard doll.
BU: Yeah. Remember that movie, America’s Sweethearts, with Catherine Zeta Jones? It was total crap, so I don’t blame you if you don’t, but it makes a good point about how people have this image of who you are and who you are as a couple, and for some reason they want that. They don’t care if it’s real, they just want the story, the entertainment value.
RR: I think that’s the most dangerous thing you can do, to start believing that these people actually care about you. I mean, even our most rabid fans have met us, what? Some ten-twenty times? For a grand total of maybe one or two hours at concerts and meet-and-greets. They don’t know who we really are. Just like we don’t know them. It’s easy to forget that sometimes, too, that it works the other way around as well.

OM: How do you mean?

BU: Well, like, we have all sorts of people who follow the band, from the people who just listen to the music to the ones who just read the gossip columns. And sometimes it’s hard to see all the fans who honestly just love the music and who don’t stalk us in airports or harass our families. And it’s not fair, and we try to remember that they are out there, being nice and wonderful and supportive, but when I hear my name being called in the street, my first reaction is always “shit, not again,” and I hate that.
RR: It’s like we’re closing ourselves off, sometimes. And you kind of have to, because every joke you make is dissected and every person you talk to is a potential girlfriend/boyfriend…
BU: …secret love child…
RR: Those are definitely interesting, seeing as we’re twenty-five…
BU: Well, I don’t know about you, Ross, but I was a total stud in kindergarten.
RR: I think that’s the main reason why we didn’t get together sooner, to be honest. Because we didn’t want to reduce the band to some sort of gay Hollywood drama. We’re just two guys who like to play music and hang with our friends.

OM: Moving on to the music. There has been quite some speculation that the new album is all about your relationship. How would you rate that rumour?

RR: Completely false. I mean, there are elements of it in there, sure. Our lyrics have always been very personal, but it’s not a Ryan Ross-Brendon Urie love letter.
BU: We wrote these songs together, all of us as a band, just like we’ve done with the last two albums. And sure, there’s love in there, lots of it. I mean, Spencer [Smith, drums] got married last year and he and Jon [Walker, bass] both had kids while we were writing this. It’s been a very close family time for all of us, and that comes through.

OM: Any messages in there to the media or the crazy fans that won’t leave you alone?

BU: (laughs) Actually, Ryan was into that idea for a while. He’s still a bit too easily influenced by Pete [Wentz, Fall Out Boy], I think.
RR: Shut up. I am not.
BU: Right…
RR: The thing is, we’re not a political band. We never wanted to be. We want to make songs that connect with people, lyrically or musically, and most people have no idea what it’s like to wake up with thirty cameras outside your bedroom window. The media has so much of us already. We don’t want to give over our music too.
BU: Exactly. The music is just ours. Mine and Ryan’s and Spencer’s and Jon’s and anyone else’s who wants to listen to it. It’s our own little happy land.

OM: Speaking of Pete Wentz and Fall Out Boy… There was a music video about four months ago that caused a bit of a stir..?

RR: Hand it over.
BU: (grins and pulls a twenty from his pocket) Does that mean I get to tell the story?
RR: Knock yourself out.
BU: It was no big deal, really. Pete always wants to get a reaction out of people. He’s like this lost fairytale prince who just can’t sit back and let things happen that he thinks are wrong.
RR: (laughs) He’s going to kill you for saying that.
BU: Shut up, he’ll be totally flattered. Anyway, he and Ashlee [Simpson-Wentz] had a very hard time with the media when Bronx was born [Wentz’s first child, born in 2008], and even more so with Callie [second child, born in early 2011]. So Pete did what he usually does when something pisses him off and wrote a song about it [Million Dollar Privacy, 2011]. And when they were making the video, he asked me and Ryan to be a part of it. So we were.
RR: It was pretty cool. Weird but cool.
BU: Making out to a script with someone who isn’t just an actor was strange, with all the crew there, the director going “Tilt your head a bit more! Can I get some more blue light in there?” when I had my hands up the back of Ryan’s shirt.
RR: Yeah, it really was.

OM: Last question: what’s next on the agenda for Panic at the Disco? Are you going back on tour with the new album or are you all taking some family time?

BU: Back on tour. We’ve pushed the dates around a bit since Jon and Cassie are expecting their second baby this spring, but the plan is to tour the States and Canada between January and March and then leave for Europe and Asia in the beginning of July. Between writing and recording, we haven’t been on tour for almost six months now, and it’s going to be nice to get back on the road. We’re all very excited about playing the new songs live. It’s what we love doing the most.

OM: Well, good luck with that, and with the new album. Thank you very much and Merry Christmas.

RR: Same to you.
BU: Merry Christmas, everyone.
