The Newsdump, Jan 22 08: from Take That being scary to Disney being wary

  • January 22, 2008
  • Popjustice

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

» Take That have scared Arctic Monkeys into missing the Brit Awards. ('Arctic Monkeys Snub Brits Over Take That Battle' — The Mirror)

»
Mark Ronson
isn't holding out any hope of winning a Brit Award. ('Ronson: A Win Is A Brit Too Far' — The Sun)

»
Ashlee Simpson
is making some small moves towards her 2008 comeback. ('Brace Yourself For Braless Ash' — The Sun)

»
Estelle
has revealed the music that inspired her second album 'Shine', which includes her quite-good new single 'American Boy'. ('What Rings Estelle's Bells?' — The Guardian)

»
Some big American rock bands have been booked for this year's Reading festival. ('Reading and Leeds 2008 Headliners Booked' — Sound Generator)

»
The next The Streets album might sound a little different — Mike Skinner has been inspired by the Stephen Sondheim songs in the 'Sweeney Todd' movie. ('The Streets Pays Homage To Depp's Sweeny Todd' — Sound Generator)

»
Unsurprisingly, Disney have re-thought plans to have Gallows perform at Disneyland. ('Disney Bans Gallows' — Yahoo)

Blimey.
