This is probably what Amanda de Cadenet was referring to, it ran in Vanity Fair in Sept 2010
Arcade Fire
Michael Hogan nominates Arcade Fire for championing Haiti.
Because Régine Chassagne, whose parents escaped the brutal regime of François Papa Doc Duvalier and relocated to Montreal in the 1960s, was a passionate advocate for Haiti long before this years earthquake made it the celebrity cause du jour. because Arcade Fire, the band she co-fronts with her husband, Win Butler, began donating to Haiti with its first tour, in 2005, when a series of benefit concerts raised $22,000. because, after discovering Tracy Kidders book Mountains Beyond Mountains, about Harvard doctor Paul Farmer and the organization Partners in Health, which operates 12 hospitals outside Port-au-Prince and employs 5,000 Haitians, the band established a one dollar, one euro, one pound touring policy, donating one unit of currency for every ticket sold. because they had the N.F.L. pay Partners in Health for the right to play the song Wake Up during Super Bowl XLIV. because by the end of last year Arcade Fire, whose much-anticipated third album, The Suburbs, comes out this month, had helped raise more than $800,000 for Farmers organization. because Chassagne and Butler, in 2008, went to Haiti and performed at Partners in Healths facilities. because Chassagne, alarmed by the chaos bred by thousands of NGOs working in isolation, and often at cross-purposes, is helping to launch Kanpe (Creole for to stand up), a project to coordinate nonprofits in the battle against poverty. We have to be organized, she says. We have to do better by Haiti.

So, some random guy from Arcade Fire did the Interview mag interview? How boring! I read some of the questions over @JJ and I think I have seen the exact same questions and answers at least a dozen times from every other HW actor. First they are passionate about their new job/fame and now they start whining about being typecast in a certain genre. Blah Blah Blah And who really cares why they are passionate about acting or a role? Of course it's never the big paycheck or all the free stuff that comes along with it.
Is it so hard to come up with something more interesting? I would actually like some journalist to ask him why he doesn't want to talk about his private life anymore while he's dating a well-known famewhore and wrote a whole f-ing essay about losing his virginity. Or at least something new and fresh that doesn't include lions, nudity or his family acting dynasty.
@Asprey
Does that mean you won't start every Beige post over @JJ with "ugly chick" anymore? Or was that someone else? 'Cause I quite enjoyed that. And the comments there are quite creepy right now. Is that the same jennifur that posted here a while ago? Looks like the girls has gone off the deep end after meeting Askars at Paley.

I usually like to call her Hole, Boswaste ,refer to Tackymint and her overall lack of talent, brains, charisma, fading looks, famewh*ring, and general uselessness. Other than that she's fine.
i hate you...not really
how many Skarsgards have you seen now??
he must go back to the USA soon the holidays are over.

Till er som inte kunde närvara på Babylon i lördags: jag förlåter er alla, för Alexander Skarsgård tog sig ändå tid att koma förbi.

To those of you who could not attend at Babylon on Saturday: I forgive you all, for Alexander Skarsgård made ​​it yet time to coma over.
is Babylon a town? or pub?
From what I know she met Skars at Paley and according to SWP did some highly inappropriate touching. Then she said she met Bjorne for coffee, he told her that Lisa was no longer hanging with KB because suddenly she remembered she had children(?) and also that Bjorne said AS was practically shacking up with the woman he walks 10 feet ahead of while looking pissy faced. She said that Bjorne also gave her an English copy of To Kill a Child......
I totally understand what she's going through...nobody believed me when Brad and Angelina adopted me. It's all cool, Brad and I reminisce about the '80's and Angie likes me to draw new tattoo designs for her. It's my truth, I live it.

Wow, some crazy fangirl action going on at JJ. I last experienced so much "passion" in a fandom when people where fighting over who Joey Potter should end up with. So, she was trying to feel him up at Paley? Creepy. I don't believe for a second that Bjorne would share personal information about Askars, his wife or kids with a "fangirl". But I guess that is what happens if you (Bjorne) publish personal information on a website.
So, you're the chosen one? Dang it, I thought I was.
Topic: AS is hot! Where are the hot, beigeless Sweden pics? I thought Sweden has paparazzi, too.
can we not re-hash out the drama of what supposedly went down...that period was a tad crazy and messy...

Well, maybe he did'n know she's a "well-known famewhore" at the time when they met and started dating. I didn't know either before I read it from this forum
That f*ing essay was written lååååååååååååååååååååååååååååång ago and is it even a true story anyway? I think he's still virgo. Besides people can change. That is also called growing up
Yeah I understand where this is coming from but I find it sweet and appealing that Skarsy doesn't take himself as a big and famous star which he isn't yet. Those things you mentioned above may be new for some new and ahem.. less devoted fans and of course for any random readers. Not everyone knows those things about him, even if you are his fan. Someone has to work and deal with the children etc *cough cough*

I'd know those lips anywhere
That's all I had to see really, and I knew. I was chatting later with my friend and I said he was wearing a hat and sunglasses and she was like, so how could you possibly know for sure it was him? Your always going on about how every guy here is tall and looks kind of like him so probably it was one of those guys and you are just freaking out as usual. But I knew.
Because what was partly so weird is that I felt like I saw someone I knew on the street. Not something that happens here a whole lot, on account of not knowing so many people. So for the first maybe seven seconds that I could actually see him my brain WASTED TIME going, oh hey, that's... that guy I know! Hi! Wait... oh crap... I don't know him, don't wave, don't say hi, just... oh hell he's gone.
I didn't take a picture, mostly because I was inside a cafe and he was on the street outside and I just looked up and he was in the window, framed like on a stage just for me. I would've had to scrabble in my bag for my phone, leave my lunch on the table and race outside and given that his one footstep covers about half a block would have had to run half a marathon to catch him up by that point, and we all know I own the fangirl thing, but that's a step too far even for me. Plus, I was hungry.
So I just saw him, for a second, through a window, but that was enough. I don't want to be his friend and maybe even talking to him would have ruined things, what if he was impatient or annoyed that some random American wanted his time when he was actually on a break from America and I just couldn't get over that? Seeing him with my own two eyes is just okay.
His lips are even more sensual in real life. Just needed to add that.
