AN: I'm posting this a day early because I'm having two of my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow, so won't be posting. Next chapter: Fairytale! AU. Currently writing: Mutant! AU and Sea Change! AU. This chapter is very short, partially because brevity suits this style, and partially because the next chapter is over 10,000 words.

Elephants Deserve Love Too will update as usual on Saturday.


End of a Rivalry?

Solo artists Percy Jackson and Jason Grace, the two hottest young things in music world, have released a new collaborative single! The two have had a famous and well-documented rivalry since their hit debut songs, Riptide and Julius, went head-to-head on the charts. The song, Sons of the Gods, is rapidly climbing the charts. Could this be the work of their respective girlfriends, Annabeth Chase and Piper McLean, the hit pop duo A&P? Does this mark a new era of collaboration between the two heartthrobs? We here at Aphrodite sure hope so! Watch this space!


Ashamed of a Hit?

Singer-songwriter Frank Zhang, most famous for his ballads, revealed in an interview with Rachel Elizabeth Dare on The Oracle that he is ashamed of his new single, Steal My Girl, which is currently #1 on the charts! He revealed that he was 'actually kind of ashamed' of writing the pop hit, a departure from his usual style, because 'it's kind of possessive' and he was 'worried that it's disrespectful towards Hazel [Levesque, his girlfriend and fellow musician, acclaimed for her incorporation of old jazz sounds into hit pop]'. He revealed that it was written in anger and jealousy over fellow performer, the flirtatious, slightly offensive but extremely loveable firebrand, Leo Valdez's song Miss Metal Detector (The Girl from New Orleans), which was clearly dedicated to and about Miss Levesque. However, Mr Zhang clearly has nothing to worry about! Mr Valdez is famed for dedicating songs to girls, and, as we revealed last issue, has already moved on! (Maybe She's Different, Aphrodite, Issue 5). Besides, from what we saw at the Grammys last week...the Frazel ship is stronger than ever! (And we at Aphrodite couldn't be happier!)


Opposites Attract?

Is that true for the punk-rock duo Angel's Grace? After Thalia Grace (sister of Jason) was spotted two months ago on a date with Luke Castellan, lead singer of the squeaky-clean, yet mischievous boyband Hermes' Boys, Nico di Angelo, almost infamously anti-social, dark and brooding, has been linked to famously sunny solo artist Will Solace, the crush of teen girls everywhere. We at Aphrodite are keenly following this new (potential) couple, already labelled Solangelo by some zealous fans!
