Women flee from unruly Dif // Kvinder flygter fra ustyrlig Dif (Added 29/01/08) | Det tidligere problembarn i Aqua har det ikke let med damerne, som på stribe har forladt René Dif. Lene Nystrøm brød fuldstændigt med ham, da Aqua blev opløst.
Ibi Støving anklagede ham for vold og fortalte, hvordan hun gentagne gange var blevet slået. Og nu blander René Difs seneste ekskæreste, Stine Kronborg, sig i mudderkastningen med et sønderlemmende angreb på musikeren, som hun beskylder for at have svært ved at styre sit temperament. – Jeg vil kalde ham en utilregnelig dramaqueen, som kunne vende på en tallerken hele tiden, siger Stine Kronborg i den seneste udgave af Se og Hør. Hun forlod René Dif 20 dage efter, at de sammen var flyttet ind i deres nye hus. – Min sjette sans sagde mig, at han bare ikke skulle være far til mine børn. En stemme sagde, at jeg måtte gå med det samme, siger Stine Kronborg til ugebladet. Nul kontaktOver for flash! uddyber hun beslutningen om offentligt at gå ud med en kritik af ekskæresten. – Der er mange journalister, der har skrevet til mig, og for ikke at blive ved med at løbe ind i spørgsmål om, hvad der gik galt, valgte jeg at stå frem. Jeg fik en knude i maven af at gå med det, og nu har jeg det fint, siger Stine. Hun har siden bruddet været i kontakt med ekskæresten, men er det ikke længere. – Jeg valgte at stoppe det helt. Det tager for meget energi. Jeg synes, han har været fantastisk, men han skal bare ikke være i mit liv mere, siger Stine Kronborg til flash!. René Dif ønsker ikke at gå ind i polemikken omkring sin person. – Jeg stiller mig uforstående over for Stines udtalelser og vil samtidig igen pointere, at der er meget få fakta i det, hun skriver omkring mig og min person. Jeg kan kun håbe, at hun har fået luft, og jeg henviser til min udtalelse i Se og Hør. Ellers har jeg ingen yderligere kommentarer, siger Dif til flash! I ugebladet fortalte han, at han var chokeret over ekskærestens betroelser til offentligheden. – Jeg ønsker Stine held og lykke og håber kun, at hun har fået det ud af sine udtalelser, som hun ønskede. Stine Kronborg er ikke den første kvinde, der hovedkulds har forladt samlivet med Aqua-manden. Også hans tidligere kæreste TV3-værten Ibi Støving forlod brat forholdet, da hun angiveligt var blevet slået af Dif. Det var dog ikke vold, der var baggrunden for, at Stine Kronborg skred fra pop-millionæren. – Selv om vi havde vilde skænderier, så var der aldrig antydning af vold. Hvis der havde været, så havde jeg meldt det. Og med hensyn til Ibi og ham, så elskede René hende så højt, at han ikke ville melde hende for den vold, hun udsatte ham for, siger Stine og antyder dermed, at også Ibi var voldelig. – Hun sparkede ham engang i kuglerne, så de var lige gode om det. Men i dag kan jeg godt forstå, at Ibi handlede, som hun gjorde, siger Stine med et smil. Kvinden i forholdetDif er ikke ligefrem begejstret over at få rippet op i de gamle sår fra tiden med Ibi. – Jeg er fuldstændig uforstående over for, hvorfor I vil bringe noget, som er over fire år siden. Den sag er vel efterhånden godt og grundigt uddebatteret! Jeg mener ikke, man kan sammenligne to forhold, som er forskellige, og jeg må indrømme, at jeg synes, det er ufatteligt, at I vil gøre de to ens og insinuere, at det skulle være af samme karakter eller lignende, siger René Dif til flash! – Stine, hvordan har du det med det image, du er med til at give ham? – Da jeg for eksempel sagde, at René var kvinden i forholdet, var det med et smil på læben. Men han er en dramaqueen, specielt når han ikke har så meget at lave, siger Kronborg. Ud over Ibi og Stine Kronborg var René Dif tidligere kæreste med Lene Nystrøm. Hun blev senere gift med Søren Rasted fra Aqua, og René Dif har senere fortalt, at han følte, at han blev frosset ud af gruppen. | The former problem child in Aqua doesn't have it easy with the ladies, who have been queueing up to leave René Dif. Lene Nystrøm broke all contact with him when Aqua split up. Ibi Støving reported him for domestic violence, and said that she had been hit on several occasions. And now René Dif's latest ex-girlfriend, Stine Kronborg, is joining in the mud-throwing with a vicious attach on the musician, who she accuses of struggling to control his temper. "I would call him an unpredictable drama queen, who could snap at any time", says Stine Kronborg in the latest edition of Se og Hør. She left René Dif 20 days after they moved into their new house together. "My sixth sense told me, that he just wasn't going to be the father of my children. A voice told me I had to leave right away", says Stine Kronborg to the magazine. Zero contactAccording to Flash! she describes her decision to publically criticise her ex-boyfriend. "Many journalists have written to me, and to stop them from asking the same questions over again about what went wrong, I chose to speak out. I got butterflies in the stomach over doing it, but now I'm fine", says Stine. She has been in contact with her ex-boyfriend since the break-up, but is not anymore. "I chose to end it completely. It was draining too much energy. I think he has been fantastic, but I just need him to be out of my life now", says Stine Kronborg to Flash!. René Dif doesn't wish to enter into the controversy surrounding him. I'm completely blank over Stine's outburst, and want to point out again that there are very few facts in what she's written about me and my personality. I only hope that she's got it out of her system, and I'd point her towards reading my statement in Se og Hør. Apart from that I have no further comment, says Dif to Flash!. In the magazine he says that he was shocked over his ex-girlfriend's confidance in the public. "I wish Stine good luck, and only hope that she's got what she wanted out of spilling to the public." Stine Kronborg is not the first woman to leave headlong living together with the Aqua singer. His previous girlfriend TV3 presenter Ibi Støving broke up the relationship abruptly when she was allegedly hit by Dif. It was not violence, however, that caused Stine Kronborg to leave the pop-millionaire. "Although we had arguments, there was never any inkling of violence. If there had been, I would have reported it. And with regards to him and Ibi, Rene loved her so much, that he would never report her for the violence she inflicted on him", says Stine, therefore hinting that Ibi was violent herself. "She once kicked him in the balls, so they were just as bad as each other. But now I can completely understand why Ibi behaved as she did", says Stine with a grin. The woman in the relationshipDif is not exactly over the moon at having the old scars from his time with Ibi ripped open again. "I am completely blank over, why you want to bring something back up, that happened over four years ago. This case has been gone over so many times! I don't think you can compare two completely separate relationships, and I think it's inconceivable that you treat them both the same, and insinuate that the same thing happened again", says René Dif to Flash!. "Stine, how do you feel about the image, you are about to give him?" "When I for example said that René was the woman in the relationship, it was meant with a pinch of salt. But he is a drama-queen, especially when he doesn't have much to do", says Kronborg. As well as Ibi and Stine Kronborg, René Dif was once also in a relationship with Lene Nystrøm. She later married Søren Rasted from Aqua, and René Dif later claimed that he felt that he had been frozen out of the group. |
Aqua to headline Grøn Koncert! // Aqua først navn på Grøn Koncert 2008! (Added 03/12/07) | Muskelsvindfonden og Tuborg præsenterer stolt Aqua som første navn på plakaten i 2008.
Grøn Koncert bliver samtidig rammen om Aquas allerførste koncerter efter den opsigtvækkende nylige gendannelse og det første sted de kan opleves live til næste sommer. I 2008 er det desuden 10 år siden, Aqua spillede første gang på Grøn Koncert. Mellem den 17/7 - 27/7 tager Aqua og Grøn Koncert igen rundt i landet, denne gang til 8 forskellige byer i Danmark. Turnéen slår de første toner an i Esbjerg, siden i Herning, Århus, Aalborg, Kolding, Odense, Næstved og slutter af med et brag i Valby. I 1990´erne fyldte Aqua sendefladerne i radio og TV med en sand hitparade af sange som Barbie Girl, Roses are Red og Doctor Jones. Da medlemmerne af Aqua besluttede at gå hver til sit i 2002 havde de solgt 18 millioner albums og 10 millioner singler. De havde med andre ord ikke blot været en del af det mest storslåede musikeventyr i Danmark nogensinde – de skrev det. Aqua blev landets største eksportvare i 1990´erne og opnåede på kort tid en succes som mange bands drømmer om, men aldrig oplever. Uimodståelige popsange, spektakulære sceneshows og tøj, der kunne have siddet på væsener fra en fjern galakse, blev nogle af de markante kendetegn for Søren og Lene Nystrøm Rasted, Claus Norreen og René Dif da de dannede bandet i 1995. De fire medlemmer af Aqua skabte et univers hvor musik, tekst, stil og udtryk gik op i en højere enhed og satte standarden for de popbands der siden lagde sig i slipstrømmen af Aqua´s succes. | Muscular Dystrophy campaign and Tuborg proudly present Aqua as the first name in their lineup for 2008. Not only will Grøn Koncert present Aqua's first ever concert since announcing their reformation, it will be the first place they can be experienced live next summer. In 2008 it will also be 10 years since they played for the first time at Grøn Koncert. Between the 17th and 27 July Aqua and Grøn Koncert will again be going on a tour of the country, this time visiting 8 different towns in Denmark. The tour hits its' first tones in Esbjerg, and follows on in Herning, Århus, Aalborg, Kolding, Odense, Næstved, and concluding with the grand finale in Valby (Copenhagen). In the 1990s Aqua filled the radio waves and TV-channels with a flood of hits like Barbie Girl, Roses are Red and Doctor Jones. When the members of Auqua decided to go their separate ways in 2002, they had sold 18 million albums and 10 million single. In other words, they were not just a part of the most phenomenal musical fairytale in Denmark's history- they wrote the book. Aqua became the country's biggest economic export in the 1990's, and experienced in a short time the kind of success, that most bands can only dream of but never experience. Irresistable pop songs, spectacular live shows, and clothes that could have been worn by aliens from distant galaxies, became the trademarks of Søren og Lene Nystrøm Rasted, Claus Norreen and René Dif when they formed the band in 1995. The four members created a universe where music, lyrics, style and impression reached a higher unity, and set the standard for the many pop bands that have followed in the wake of their success. |
Aqua to play Grøn Koncert // Aqua på Grøn Koncert (Added 03/12/07) | Det gendannede popband er hovednavn på musikkaravanen næste sommer. Når den traditionsrige Grøn Koncert starter turneen den 17. juli 2008 i Esbjerg, så er det med de for nyligt gendannede Aqua som hovednavn. Det blev via konferenciererne Jacob Haugaard og Simon Juul offentliggjort ved en ceremoni i De Forenede Bryggeriers Fritidscenter i København i dag. Offentliggørelsen blev markeret med en elhockeykamp mellem Dreamteam, som er det danske landshold i denne sport (hockey i elektriske kørestole), og Aqua, der noget uvant skulle manøvre rundt i de eldrevne stole. Ved det efterfølgende pressemøde stillede GAFFA en smørrebrødsspisende Rene Diff et par spørgsmål om Aquas genopstandelse:
Hvorfor har I egentlig valgt at gendanne Aqua?
Hvad er ambitionen?
Hvad er det for et Aqua, man kommer til at opleve nu?
Der er måske ligefrem også en ny plade på vej? For de sportsinteresserede skal det retfærdigvis også nævnes, at Dreamteam vandt elhockeykampen i overlegen stil med hele 7-0. Aqua kom dog på tavlen i kraft af den kvindelige målmand, Nystrøm Rasted, som må tilskrives første mål, der kun kan karakteriseres som et klokkeklart selvmål. Resten af programmet til Grøn Koncert 2008 bliver offentliggjort løbende i de kommende måneder. Billetter kan dog allerede købes fra i dag. Grøn Koncert 2008’s turneplan:
| The reformed popband are headlining the music festival-tour next summer. When the traditional Grøn Koncert begins its' tour on the 17. juli 2008 in Esbjerg, it will feature the newly reformed Aqua as the headlining act. This news was made public by comperes Jacob Haugaard and Simon Juul at a ceremony in the Federate Brewery Community centre in Copenhagen today. The announcement was marked by a hockey match in electric wheelchairs, between Dreamteam, who are the national champions in this sport, and Aqua, who were somewhat unused to manovering round in the electical chairs. At the press conference that followed, GAFFA asked a sandwich-munching Rene Dif a couple of questions on Aqua's comeback:
Why have you chosen to reform Aqua?
What are your ambitions?
What kind of Aqua are the public going to see this time?
There is maybe also a new album on the way? For the sports fans, it's only fair to let you know the score, that Dreamteam won the electric wheelchair hockey match in convincing style, with a whole 7 goals to 0. Aqua were bottom of the league thanks to their female goalkeeper, Nystrøm Rasted, who scored the first goal, which can only be characterised as an own-goal. The rest of the lineup for Grøn Koncert 2008 will be announced to the public over the coming months. The tickets are on sale from today. Grøn Koncert 2008’s tour schedule:

Søren Rasted on cover of Euroman // Søren Rasted på Euromans forside (Added 28/11/07) |
Han var aldrig nogen god musiker, men blev Danmarks største musikalske succes. Nu synger han dansk 80’er-pop – og er tilbage med Aqua. Outsideren, der blev alles ven, fortæller bl.a. om at ryge joints med Leonardo DiCaprio til playboy-fest hos Hugh Hefner. Bagmanden fra Aqua er tilbage, og Euroman fortæller hans historie. Om at være en ensom outsider i skolen, men alligevel blive alles ven. Om ikke at vide, hvad man er god til, men alligevel blive god til alt. Om den naive hidsigprop, der gerne snyder på Mols-Linien. |
He was never a good musician, but became Denmark's greatest musical success. Now he's singing Danish 80's pop, and is back with Aqua. The outsider, who became everybody's friend, tells us among other things, about smoking joints with Leonardo DiCaprio at Hugh Hefner's playboy party. The man behind Aqua is back, and Euroman tells his story. On being a lonely outsider in school, but becoming the friend of everybody. On not knowing what he was good at, but all the same becoming good at everything. |
Forty but not finished // Fyrre og fed, men ikke færdig (Added 15/11/07) | René Dif og hans nye kæreste Rikke Rasmussen tog nyforelskede imod gæsterne på Herregården Jomfruens Egede i Fakse. Samme herregård, hvor Alexandra og Martin Jørgensen holdt bryllupsfest i marts.
Fyrre og fed, men ikke færdig René Dif havde meget at fejre ud over sin runde fødselsdag, nemlig en ny kæreste og genforeningen af Aqua. Vendingen fyrre, fed og færdig passer kun næsten på René Dif. Fyrre er han lige blevet, småfed kan man vel også kalde ham, men helt færdig er han ikke. For med genforeningen af Aqua er der håb for René Difs fremtid, der ellers ikke har set alt for lys ud. Først lukkede hans restaurant Oil, og senere forlod kæresten Stine Kronborg ham. Men nu er der glæde igen med både genforening og en ny kæreste. Og måske var det det, der fik René Dif til i går at fejre sin 40-års fødselsdag med pomp og pragt. Der var ikke sparet på noget. Hvilket kan undre en smule, da det er en kendt sag, at Dif flittigt har opbrugt sin formue fra de glade Barbie Girl-dage. Alexandras herregårdLene Nystrøm og gemalen Søren Rasted var naturligvis med, da en dobbeltdækkerbus samlede en stor flok kendisser op på Israels Plads i København for at køre dem mod herregården Jomfruens Egede i Fakse på Sydsjælland, hvor fødselsdagsfesten skulle foregå. Hr. Dif kan lide, at der er stil over det, når han holder fest. Derfor var det nok ingen tilfældighed, at han valgte den samme herregård, hvor Alexandra og Martin Jørgensen holdt deres bryllupsfest i marts Ny kæresteEn glad og smokingklædt René Dif tog imod gæsterne på herregården. Måske var det pigen ved Renés side, der bragte det store smil frem. Den mørkhårede skønhed hedder Rikke Rasmussen og er 32 år. Parret har kun kendt hinanden et par måneder og så meget nyforelskede ud. René og Rikke festede med deres gæster, indtil en bus transporterede flokken tilbage mod København. Her fortsatte festen på en natklub, hvor det skaldede fødselsdagsbarn genoptog sit tidligere job som dj. | René Dif and his new girlfriend Rikke Rasmussen made their first appearance as a couple among guests at Virgin Egede mansion in Fakse. The same mansion where Alexandra and Martin Jørgensen held their wedding party in March.
Forty and out of shape, but not finished- René Dif has lots to celebrate on his milestone birthday; a new girlfriend, and the reunion of Aqua. The phrase "forty, fat and finished" some might say almost fits René Dif. Forty he has just turned, a little out of shape we could also call him, but finished he certainly is not. Because with the reformation of Aqua, there is hope for René Dif's future, that otherwise hasn't looked so promising. First his restaurant Oil closed, and then his girlfriend Stine Kronborg left him. But now there is happiness again both with the reunion and a new girlfriend. And maybe these were the reasons that yesterday made René Dif decide to celebrate his 40th birthday with pomp and pride. There were no expenses spared. Which maybe surprising as it's a known fact that Dif has industriously been spending his fortune from the carefree Barbie Girl-days. Alexandra's mansionLene Nystrøm and husband Søren Rasted were obviously among the large flock of celebrities picked up by a double decker bus from Israels Place in Copenhagen, to be driven to Virgin Egede mansion in Fakse in South Sjælland, where the birthday party was to take place. Mr. Dif likes to party in style. Therefore it was no great coincidence that he chose the same mansion where Alexandra and Martin Jørgensen held their wedding party in March. New girlfriendA happy René Dif, attired in smoking-jacket, mingled with the guests at the mansion. Perhaps it was the girl by René's side, that brought on the big smile. The dark-haired beauty is called Rikke Rasmussen and is 32. The pair have only known each other for a couple of months and look very much to be in the honeymoon period of their relationship. René and Rikke partied with their guests until a bus transported the crowd back to Copenhagen. Here the party continued in a nightclub where the bald birthday-boy took up his old job once more as DJ. |
