.: December, 25th 2005 | Merry Christmas!      Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!      2005 has been a verry succesfull year for Lene. She made a new      album and promoted it all around the world. That resulted into a      big succes in China, Japan, Italy and offcourse her homeland:      Norway.      It was a good year for me too. It was the first time in all those      years that I saw Lene preform live. That was a moment I will never      forget. And it was even in Amsterdam! Great! And 2005 was also the      year that my dutch Lene Marlin site became official. After all those      years... also verry verry great!      So, therefore I wish all of you visitors and Lene and her crew a      Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I hope to see you again      next year, in 2006.

Kaizers Orchestra and Sandra Lyng Haugen opened the show.      And then, at 22:15, Lene Marlin mounted the stage.      Lene played the popular and by now well-known single 'How Would It Be'      to great applause from the audience.      After the concert, she took the time to sign autographs and have her      photograph taken together with young fans who sat in the stands.      The popular girl from Kroken has spent a lot of time promoting her      new album 'Lost in a Moment' this summer.      Amongst other things, she took part in Festivalbar in Italy earlier      in July, and in the last few days she has been both in Germany and the UK.

.: July, 19th 2005 | Photos from Lene in Amsterdam.      I just got back from the photostore to get the photo's back!      I have also placed them online!

.: July, 13th 2005 | Lene in Amsterdam.      Lene gave a performance at Odeon in Amsterdam yesterday evening.      I also won a ticket and had the change to make some pictures, which      I will place later on the site. Lene sang six songs: 'Eyes Closed',      'Never To Know', 'It's True', 'How Would It Be', 'When You Where Around'      and 'All I Can Say'. And she even sang the first line of      'Sitting Down Here' a capella. :-)      The event was really great and I heard rumours that Lene will      probably tour in april/ march in Europe and then she will probably be      back in The Netherlands for two small concerts.

.: April, 25th 2005 | lenemarlin.com back online!      Lene Marlin official site is back online. It's completely annimated and it      also has a small game to play. The site looks really great!      There will also be new press photos on the site tomorrow.      Lene Marlin (24) has recorded the new album in all secrecy. Not even the      record company knew anything at all. This she confirms in tonight's      'Først og Sist' with Fredrik Skavlan at NRK1. Lene Marlin was in a super mood,      was shining more than ever, and celebrated the great evening with champagne      in studio. - It's totally fantastic to finally be able to tell about the secret,      says a brilliantly shaped Lene Marlin to VG Nett following the recording      of the show.

.: April, 25th 2005 | New Album!      It seems to be confirmed by Virgin that there will be a new album from      Lene released verry shortly.

Lene's official website (www.lenemarlin.com) will      also be back online. In fact it should be online today!      I will post more news as soon as possible.

.: March, 15th 2005 | Lene is single again.      There was an article in SeogHør about Lene's releation with Andreas.      It seems like it ended and that means Lene is single again.      After almost one year, the relationship with Andreas ended.      The pop star Lene Marlin is alone again. According to what SeogHør believes,      Lene Marlin's (24) relationship with the Oslo boy Andreas Benneche (23)      is over. Andreas and Lene were up over their heads in love with eachother,      and arrived hand-in-hand to the girl friend Sunniva Stordal's adventure      wedding at Holmenkollen in January of this year.      The previous super model is one of Lene's very closest friends,      and should have, according to what SeogHør believes, been a strong support      for the Tromsø girl.      - Both friends and the record company do whatever they can to keep Lene's      courage up, says a source that is close to the popular artist.      Lene and Andreas have kept together for almost a year. At the pop artist's      record company EMI, the press responsible Sara Wegge (33) is very wordly      tight when we are asking about a comment from Lene.      - This we unfortunately have no comment on. We never comment on the      artists' private lives, says Wegge.      Good friends with the ex'es      Lene Marlin has previously had a relationship with Stian Barsnes Simonsen (25).      The NRK celebrity moved out from Lene's apartment shortly before her      come-back in the summer of 2003.      Following the crash debut with 'Playing My Game' in 1999, she withdrew from      the limelight, and was so far down that she choose to seek out a psychologist.      - I'm so incredibly happy that I did that. It worked really well for me,      and this is something I will keep doing, commented a fully honest Lene at      a press conference.      Lene Marlin and Stian Barsnes Simonsen are, according to what SeogHør believes,      still good friends - and probably will Lene also be keeping the friendship      with Andreas Bennech
