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

»
Natasha Bedingfield is almost the most famous British female singer in the world, or something. ('Bedingfield Album In US Top Three' — BBC)

»
You will be pleased to learn that Reverend And The Makers will be pursuing a reggae sound in the future. ('Reverand And The Makers' — Daily Star)

» After flicking through various amazing tracks on her debut album,
Leona Lewis has chosen to release the one which sounds most like 'A Moment Like This' as her next single. ('Sporty Leona' — Daily Star)

»
Alesha Dixon's new video is a load of old junk. DO YOU SEE WHAT WE'VE DONE THERE. ('I've Ad It With Alesha's New Vid' — The Sun)

» Teaming up with Lily Allen did not have the desired (ie any) results for Damon Albarn. ('Working With Lily Bit Of A Blur' — The Sun)

»
In case you didn't already know, Mary J Blige has had a pretty tough life. ('I Saw My Life Going Down A Drain' — The Guardian)

»
Hot Chip consider them­selves 'scabs'. ('Sounds: Hot Chip' — The Times)

»
Duffy is beating Adele in the American tips stakes. ('Duffy's Mercy Is On Fire' — Popbytes)

Kylie's 'Wow' video was so good is might have caused people to convulse. So it has had to be changed. ('Kylie's Wow Video Is Pulled' — The Sun)

Blimey.
