Tokio Hotel WW122 (News)

Cool Bill Kaulitz doesn't realize what is happening right next to him: Tokio Hotel's bodyguard intervenes and pinned a photographer from WENN (agency) against a wall. Everything had begun peacefully. Tokio Hotel was signing autographs for their American fans in a shopping mall.

The paparazzi were of course also there, but have nevertheless had a little trouble, because Bill and company have their own photographers and a cameraman and their own equipment. Owen Beiny, from the WENN agency was snubbed quite hard by one of the German bodyguards and pinneed against a wall! OUCH!

It is perhaps became clear to German bodyguard he would no longer able to make an announcement in the U.S., while the band was still at the hotel, came outside and was quite cool with photographers waiting there. He even admitted where the boys were going later on that night for dinner. It has become clear that Tokio Hotel can not afford mistakes with the US press, upon which Bill and co depend.


Tokio Hotel's American debut album, Scream, will enter the Billboard 200 at position #39 with first week sales of about 16,000.


Interestingly, Neil Diamond hits #1 with an album for the first time this week 42 years after his first success. For those of you who don't recognize his name let me put it this way, he's sold more than 120,000,000 records!!! If you think Tokio Hotel was just going to coast in to the top spot of the American charts, think again. It's not as easy as it looks. This is Neil Diamond's 26th studio album and he's been a household name in American for more than 40 years. On the other hand, just keep trying-- you know the Kaulitz twins will and the G's will be covering their backs Very Happy This is a very good position for them to be starting out from.
