The 30-second clip is in black and white – authentic! – and features a close-up of her shoe as she sings a bit of what is presumably a new song.

She appears to be standing on a box covered in fabric.

That’s literally it.

It’s a bit waffly, but the main points are:

• The album’s being produced by Eliot James, who’s done some good stuff in his time (but also some right old shit so it could go either way).
• They’ve narrowed it down to 14 songs that they’re focusing on.
• It “sums up how life has been for me during these past couple of years”.
• She hopes to share it all very soon.

If you want to read it all then pop over here.

We will just run that past you again: Plan B thinks ‘On A Mission’ is the perfect pop song.

Incredible.

Other popstars picking their favourites included Sophie Ellis-Bextor (‘Mickey’ by Toni Basil), Will Young (‘I Will Always Love You’, both versions) and Paloma Faith, who plumped for ’9 To 5′ by Dolly Parton.

Katie Melua, meanwhile, picked ‘Spaceman’ by Babylon Zoo.

Anyway never mind all that, let’s all examine Plan B’s idea of the perfect pop song.

Amazing.

DJ White Shadow has responded to Madonna’s recent comments on ‘Born This Way’, stating “I obviously do not hate Madonna, or belittle her talent or achievements, however, if she thinks we stole a song from her she is wrong”. (Ace Showbiz) In a mild-mannered signoff that is certain to improve this awkward situation, White Shadow added “If you don’t like what I have to say, unfollow me. F**k off”.

And finally, Pitbull-collaborator Ne-Yo is regretful that he chose to chew licorice instead of tobacco for his role in the bound-to-be epic war film Red Tails. (Contactmusic) “I wish I tried the tobacco,” he notes, “because it [the licorice] tasted like faeces!” Amazing.
