Although he's been known to sing some moody and depressing
 ballads, James Blunt is looking at the happier side of life on his upcoming album 'Some Kind of Trouble,' which is out Jan. 18.


"It's f---ing happy," Blunt tells PopEater. "There are a few of those
 ballads on the album, but yes, it's is much more
 upbeat and energetic. That's because I wrote before on
 acoustic guitar -- and I always wrote miserable songs on
 acoustic -- but this time around I went into the studio and
 wrote on electric guitar with basses and amps and all kinds
 of toys, and it gave me the chance to write more upbeat songs.
That's all it was. I had far too much fun in the studio."


The album's first single, 'Stay the Night,' is a clear example
of this new musical direction the pop-rock singer is taking.
 Complete with a beach party and all summer fun you'd want,
'Stay the Night' is a track that can put anyone in a good mood.
 PopEater recently had the chance to talk to the London
musician about the new material, life on the road and how
 he really feels about 'You're Beautiful.'

Confronting the problems that distance had created in their marriage, Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson at first believed the relationship might not be irretrievably broken, a source close to Reynolds tells PEOPLE.

The source says Johansson, in particular, was feeling the strain, and that Reynolds tried to improve their situation.

"At first it was ... let's fix this," the source says. "And then it got to the point where it was just, if it's not working, it's not working. He's an adult, and he finally just said they should stop."

The couple's age difference – she is 26, he is 34 – may also have been a factor. "She's young, and that played into how she's able to deal with things," the source says.

The source believes the couple decided "pretty recently" to divorce, before the problems got any worse. "They're doing it this way because there's no drama, there's no cheating, there's no nothing. These are just two people who love each other who are not going to be together anymore."

As for reports that Reynolds was involved with costar Blake Lively, several sources insist it isn't true. "They worked together and got along really well," says a source. "But there's not more to it."

Another source adds that Reynolds is planning to let Johansson file for divorce first. And following the dissolution of their two-year marriage, healing will take time.

"Ultimately, this is the best thing to keep both of them happy and healthy in the long run," the source says. "But yeah, he's sad. They both are."

“I’ve tried every diet out there and they don’t work, because eventually the diet ends and I want the foods that I restrain myself from eating.

“It’s about having everything in moderation as long as you’re staying active. I also try not to eat late at night, not after 7pm if I can help it.”
