The Newsdump, Jan 8 08: from the Kittens' old song to the Jing Jang Jong

  • January 8, 2008
  • Popjustice

What has been going on in the world of news while we've all been asleep?

»
Atomic Kitten are making a comeback — of sorts. They are
releasing their old cover of Cilla Black's 'Anyone Who Had A Heart' at
the end of the month. ('Kitten's [sic] Plan An Atomic Return' — The Sun)

»
An enorm­ously pregnant Javine claims that being called a 'home wrecker' made her rela­tion­ship with MC Harvey stronger. ('Javine: Insults Made Us Strong' — The Sun)

» Sony are dropping DRM but only in terms of their rubbish Musicpass service ('Sony VMG drops music copy pro­tec­tion' — Yahoo)

»
Natalie Imbruglia has decided that music is def­in­itely the career for her — and is recording a new album about the split from her husband. To be on the safe side, she is also planning some more movies. ('Nat Just Wants To Have Fun' — Daily Star)

»
Amy Winehouse is so upset at her husband being in jail that she has gone on holiday with her ex-boyfriend. ('Winehouse's hol with ex' — The Mirror)

»
Mariah Carey would rather sing with swine than duet with Jennifer Lopez. ('A Duet With A Pig Would Be Fitting' — DListed)

»
American Idol winner Taylor Hicks has been ditched by his record label after just one album release. ('Idol' Champ Hicks Splits With Arista' — Billboard)

» The
Coldplay-leaving-label business is still rumbling on. ('Are Coldplay planning to leave EMI?' — The Guardian)

» Paul McCartney didn't want to go and see Babyshambles do a concert. ('Macca in new split' — The Mirror)

»
No one has found anyone other than Adele, Foals, Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong and The Ting Tings to tip for success in 2008. ('The future starts here: What's going to be hot in 2008' — The Independent')

Blimey!
