The Wanted in Brazil Pictures and Videos
via Glooce
And it seems one member of the band in particular, Jay McGuiness, is still enjoying their new found attention.
The curly haired singer picked up a pair red frilly knickers and pocketed them during their performance at Z Festival in Rio de Janeiro on Friday.
Look at where you're touching that, Jay...
The Glad You Came singers were mid song during the Brazilian festival when Jay spotted the treat that landed on stage for them.
Instead of ignoring the pretty pants, the cheeky chap decided to pick them and wave them at the excitable audience before putting them in his top pocket for later.
After the concert his band mate Siva Kaneswaran confirmed the incident, tweeting: 'Yes that actually happened @jaythewanted the perv.'
Knicker-stealing Jay also took to Twitter later, after posing for numerous pictures with fans and wrote: 'The Fanmily were awesome tonight #ooft.'
It's becoming a bit of a thing for Jay to get up close and personal to groupies while performing.
Earlier in the year he kissed a female fan on stage in Las Vegas.
Following the kiss, which was captured on camera, he announced to the crowd: 'I've never kissed an American girl before.'
It's not just the fans that Jay seemed impressed with though, earlier in the week he tweeted about where the globe trotting boys were staying, he wrote: 'Woah hotel is beachside, can hear the sea cause half the room is huge glass windows- trying to say it’s cool without getting pretentious :)'
The group took the opportunity to perform their new single I Found You, which will be released on November 4 ahead of their third studio album, that features collaborations with LMFAO and Rita Ora.
Speaking about their new song, Nathan Sykes said: "We're doing a video for it in a couple of weeks as well in LA, which is really exciting. We are just trying to lock down all the ideas for it now."
Max George added: "We've been working on [our next album] for, like, the last six months, but it's still not ready yet. We're still working away on that and we've got plenty more traveling to do yet, so I'm not actually sure when the album is going to be ready."
The popular boy band arrived in Brazil last Wednesday ahead of the concert.
They arrived on the same day that fellow Brit band McFly, who also preformed at the festival, did.
Z Festival, which began just last year, is aimed at the so-called Generation Z - young people who were born and raised in advent of the internet.
The Wanted played the festival in 2011 as well.
X Factor judge Demi Lovato will be closing the festival on Sunday (was tonight).

10 Pieces of Videogame Music You Can Totally Have Sex To
Via Glooce
Okay: As much as I love videogames and their soundtracks, no one can fault you if there isn't any of it on your personal Makeout/Sex/AwkwardAfterglow playlist. It's a matter of taste. Plus, most commercial videogames in the U.S. don't put sexual arousal high up on their mission statement (the ones that do are usually given the dreaded AO rating and never heard from again). If you want to find some game tunes that will enhance your sex life, you'll generally need a) an understanding partner and b) enough time to sort through all of the many OST's out there and find something suitable. I'm just saying that it's possible. Another key rule of thumb should probably be to stick with post-NES era music. I'm sure there are more vintage chiptune aphrodisiacs galore, but after 1992 it gets a lot easier. But it can be done.
You all are encouraged to experiment with the following pieces yourselves to determine bedroom effectiveness, though be advised that if any of these stir up traumatic memories of endless frustration and game overs you might be better off just throwing on some Massive Attack like a normal person. And no, before anybody asks, I have not personally "tried out" any of these tracks myself to see if they "work". But you can take heart in knowing that all of these at least passed the Red Shoe Diaries test: if you can imagine a sex scene from Red Shoe Diaries synced up to any of this music while it's playing, it's a keeper. That's exactly what real sex is like, right? (Just kidding. Real sex is a lot more like Forbidden Science).
10) "Corridors of Time", Chrono Trigger
Sensual bongos, airy chimes and a zithery-sounding synth thing transport you to the exotic Kingdom of Zeal, the floating Babylon of 12,000 BC, where there are infinite delights to be sampled (especially if you're into blue-skinned tomato people). I guess it could also transport you to the frozen planetside continent after Zeal is destroyed and all the people begin to mix. Isn't it symbolic how the music is the same for both? Feel free to discuss this with your date as you awkwardly stare at your Square Enix action figure collection from the edge of your bed while trying to figure out how to start kissing. This tune may not be slow enough for your eventual purposes but the rhythm makes it an undeniable toe (and hopefully ass) tapper.
9) "Water Temple", The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Sometimes sex can be a little bit like the Water Temple in that you can get about two thirds of the way through before you mess up and have to start over. If that's the case then hearing this stream out of the iHome in your bedroom is not going to do you any favors intercourse-wise. Also, you might need some professional help. But this track's relaxing, shimmery new-ageyness might help make up for its lack of a driving beat and meandering faux-Egyptian guitar noises. Put it in an early spot on your playlist before the evening's tempo escalates, so to speak, and you might just get to knock iron boots sooner than you thought. A sidenote: despite the reputation of Ravel's Boléro as an erotic classic, the Bolero of Fire is by no means suitable for non-Hyrulian lovemaking unless you can get everything done in under two minutes, in which case you clearly don't need a soundtrack at all.
8) "Opening Theme", Ecco the Dolphin
For a game that was probably inspired by staring at an aquarium poster for seven hours, Ecco the Dolphin always weirded me out as a kid. The overly serene natural settings might have been relaxing to some but made me feel like a big heavy shoe was going to drop, even then. If I'd only known that the storyline of Ecco is actually completely insane, involving aliens, time travel, Atlantis, and a final battle against the Vortex Queen, I might have been more interested. Listening to the theme now it seems like somebody at Sega really dug Pink Floyd, and in fact there are Floyd references in multiple Ecco games. Music was integral to the Ecco franchise, and composer Spencer Nilsen even got his own soundtrack for the Sega CD versions of the first game and its sequel, an album called Songs of Time. That's a big accomplishment, but this original version is probably the more fuck-worthy one. Don't ask me why. There's just something about the pacing of it that seems like it would be a superior mood-setter, especially if your quarry is something of a Ray Lynch fan.
7) "Funky Akuda Bar", Beyond Good and Evil
Akuda. Bar. Get it? Stuck somewhere between a stripper anthem and the backing of a lost Cake single is this little ditty. After a long day of digging up dirt on the government, battling aliens and travelling around in a hovercraft with a talking pig, a photojournalist has got a right to unwind, hasn't she? Of course. You get extra points if you can love it up to this one and then follow it with the music from the dreaded disk game.
6) "Aquatic Ambience", Donkey Kong Country
It's funny: listen to this music away from the game it was made for and it almost seems like something from an '80s teen movie slow dance scene rather than the underwater levels of Donkey Kong Country. This is indeed from the original DKC, though (not to be confused with dyskeratosis congenita, which is apparently a big concern for Wikipedia). Something about designing water-based levels seems to bring out the sensitive sides in game music composers: I guess there's something more romantic about floating around underwater than, say, stomping on lizard people in an abandoned factory (that's a challenge, game designers). If you do decide to add this particular weapon to your sexual arsenal, make sure you avoid thinking any thoughts related to the CG cartoon series from the '90s. That, as Justin Bond would say, is a real weenie shrinker.
5) "I Am the Wind", Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Ohhhhh yeah. You've just vanquished Dracula once again and scored a (perhaps bittersweet) victory for the forces of light. How else to celebrate than with this sizzling soft-rock masterpiece? Symphony's soundtrack is part of what has made the game so beloved in the minds of Vania fans the world over, and all throughout the score is very textured and eclectic, ranging from spooky ambience to kickass power-metal. It also contains such amusing track titles as "Rainbow Cemetery", "Festival of Servants", and "Abandoned Pit", which a friend of mine once left looping on my dorm room computer while I was out until it had played 327 times. And then there's this. With all due respect to vocalist Cynthia Harrell, calling this slow jam incongruous is putting it very mildly. I guess the idea was to give us a suitably cinematic love theme to close out on, given the epic nature of the game. We may be supposed to contemplate the tragic nature of vampire hero Alucard having destroyed his father, but as soon as that saxophone starts up it's impossible to think of anything other than a good old 1997-style tastefully restrained shagging. Another cut that might get the job done is "Crystal Tears", as long as gothic organ-style synth solos aren't a dealbreaker for you and your lucky significant other. Pray that they aren't, lest you screw the whole thing up and be left alone on another Friday night with your miserable little pile of secrets. By which I mean your genitals.
4) "Birdman", Pilotwings 64
Because anyone in a bright green wing suit = prime sexual real estate. Pilotwings 64 offered many vehicles and modes of play from hang gliders to a "rocket belt", but the strangest was probably the Birdman outfit. The main reason you'd pick it would be to explore the serene landscape and look for Easter eggs once you got bored with the standard mission objectives. Why composer Dan Hess decided to make this so damn sexy is a mystery: the tempo is unmistakably pornalicious, and if there's any doubt it immediately vanishes once the faux-flute appears around 2:30. You can almost certainly bet that somebody somewhere has created their own Birdman suit for a different type of recreational activity (which just seems a little impractical more than anything). Still, I suppose if I was gliding around over a polygonal island there's no reason I wouldn't listen to music like this, especially if I'd just been hanging out with Robin, amirite fellas? Although I'm sure Ibis has the better personality.
3) "Stickerbush Symphony", Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
What was Rare trying to tell us? Sure, unless you're Dr. Abraxas, there's nothing inherently sexy in navigating a pair of monkeys in people clothes through a giant bee-infested briar patch. But take this tune out of context and my mind goes straight into Cinemax mode. Maybe it's just me. I prefer to think that there was a secret conspiracy to inspire sexual thoughts in America's young people throughout the '90s, which is why so many of us developed crippling addictions to both porn and videogames. Or maybe Rare had a secret softcore division in the Philippines that none of us know about. No wonder they made Conker's Bad Fur Day. There's only so much you can suppress the urges brought on by listening to such MIDI devilry all day.
2) "Dolphin", The Longest Journey
If you've been playing all of the items on this list in order and things have sufficiently heated up, you can consider this the "just kidding, now let's actually have sex" track. While they're all pieces you probably can fuck to, this is the only one that I'm sure someone must have fucked to at some point, in that it sounds the most like something you'd actually have on your ipod. Longest Journey had a lot of great, atmospheric, industrial music in it, and this is a prime example. You get a nice two-minute intro before the beats and underwater vocals show up, and then it's all aboard the futuristic fuck train. Between this and Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy's use of Martina Topley Bird's "Sandpaper Kisses", it should be obvious that adventure gamers are better lovers. Not that I'm bragging or anything. The tradeoff is that we had to play Dreamfall, so all you non-adventurers can feel relieved (IT'S A JOKE! NOT A TROLL, I SWEAR!).
1) "Victory Fanfare," Any Final Fantasy Game
If you have sex with someone and you time it so that this plays right after the two of you climax and they agree to see you again, you two should get married immediately.

Top 16 Male Grooming Scenes in Movies
VIA GLOOCE
French existential author type Alfred Camus (you mean Albert?) might have learned everything about life from football, but us, we like to get our life tips from the movies.
So when it comes to getting ready, making ourselves look presentable and generally preening, we look towards Hollywood for guidance.
Here are our Top 16 most inspiring grooming scenes at the movies. Smelling fresh and looking a million dollars guaranteed. Plus some murder. And some surreal Scouse humour.
Sweeney Todd
If your trip to the barbers doesn’t involve a surreal to-and-fro singing game, a heavy dose of amateur dramatics and starring into the eyes of a man who appears to have a skunk atop his barnet, then may we be so bold to suggest you look into obtaining a new barber forthwith. Explore your options, grooming should be a life-enriching experience.
The daddy, granddaddy and even great granddaddy of getting ready scenes. Who hasn’t busted a few Tony Manero moves – a sly hip wiggle, copious combing of the hair, those admiring torso glances – while getting ready to hit the discotheques of some provincial town? All Saturday nights should begin this way. Right down to the black Y-fronts and gold medallions.
Anchorman
Some think Anchorman to be an OTT pastiche of out-dated male chauvinism. These people are ill-informed fools. Anchorman accurately captures a time when men were men and women were, well, let’s not go there at this time. Every man should musk up with a scent that is illegal in nine countries – how else can you be sure of 60 per cent of the time it working every time? Exactly. Sex Panther is where it’s at. Now let’s go and make this little kitty purr.
American Psycho
Like Patrick Bateman we wholly applaud the ideology of taking care of oneself. That’s why every morning we follow the upstanding Mr Bateman’s impeccable grooming routine down to the last exfoliating gel scrub. How else would we have obtained such a position of such significance and power? Certainly ain’t by hacking our friends and prostitutes to death. Honest.
Rocky
Be good at something; become famous; endorse aftershave; have a jumped-up director think you’re a laughing stock. Such is the career path for the one and only Italian Stallion, Rocky Balboa. The Beast might make you smell like a jungle rat (hang on, is that a good thing?), surround your face with class and turn the women (woman?) in your life into beasts, but if you can’t read good, just keep away from the commercial.
The Lost Boys
At the end of a long, tiring day, nothing beats a good soak and lather up in the tub. Oops, sorry, wrong website. Ahem. But the restorative powers of a good sing-song in the bath (Clarence ‘Frogman’ Henry’s Ain’t Got A Home since you didn’t ask), while sculpting your hair into an adorable quiff are proven. Just make sure your brother ain’t a goddam shit-sucking vampire.
Coming To America
In the real world a barber shop where the barber cut not an inch of hair from your head while gassing with patrons who don’t seem to have moved since 1962 wouldn’t last a week. It’s all about efficiency, you see. In Tinseltown, however, it’s the craziest and coolest joint in town. Oh, to discuss the finer points of pugilism all day while not having your hair trimmed. And, by the way, Babomomebeo is spot on: Cuba Gooding Jr did kill it in this scene. We bow down at the man’s skills.
The Great Dictator
As John Travolta and Corey Haim have already demonstrated in this list, there’s a link between getting ready and listening to some choice sonic tonics. And if further proof were needed of this grooming/musical nexus, then Charlie Chaplin provides it here. The customer might seem perturbed, but what a sterling job the Hollywood renegade does accompanied by a bit of Brahms. Magical.
There’s Something About Mary
It’s time to fess up – even when we’ve run out of hair gel, pomade, styling wax, putty and whatever other hair product you dare to think of, we have never, not once, been tempted to use, you know what as a substitute. Wonder if it works? No, don’t even go there. That path can only lead to madness. And perhaps a date in front of a judge. And not a judge in a brothel.
Full Metal Jacket
We know hairdressers who take over an hour to trim a measly inch of hair such is their fastidious attention to detail – and their predilection for a good gas. If, however, you want your haircut to be functional, low maintenance and take about 37 seconds, join the US Marines. Your hair (and your personality) is gone in the blink of an eye.
Home Alone
What kid doesn’t want to mess about in the bathroom pretending to be their dad? Using their dad’s deodorant, combing their hair, applying a liberal dose of aftershave to their tender visage. Hmmm, that last application doesn’t half smart though.
North By Northwest
In days of yore, a man had to either be clean shaven or sport a hirsute beard – that inbetween stage of bristly whiskers was not part of the bargain. Cary Grant would have known this better than most, hence his desire to use whatever was around to shave. In this case Eva Marie Sant’s mini razor. Some nice comedic touches too.
Rio Bravo
Being neither a cowboy with sandpaper rough stubble and never having had a shave using one of those antique razor knives we can’t claim with authority that this meeting doesn’t result in an annoying din. But we’re pretty sure relieving Dean Martin of his facial fuzz shouldn’t be so loud. We reckon John Wayne was supplying some nifty sound affects.
A Hard Day’s Night
While John Lennon indulges some Anglo Teutonic schtick in his bubble bath, George Harrison demonstrates how to use a disposable razor using a bathroom mirror. We’re not sure what lessons can be learned from such surreal oddness, but we can advise not to use mind-altering substances when grooming.
Predator
We realise that hunting a Predator might send you a bit doolally, but, wow there, Mac Eliot, steady on. And closer and you’ll be shaving your eye out. No wonder Apollo Creed (ok, George Dillon) looks concerned. And is that a Mach-III razor he’s using? Geddit? Mac Eliot? Mach-III?
Kevin & Perry Go Large
Much as we love them, there are approximately 1,785 reasons why we’re glad we’re not women. Here are another six or seven to add to that growing list. Even though men have embraced the metrosexual revolution with gusto, be praised that we don’t have to go through this rigmarole every time we want to go out of an evening.
