The Newsdump, March 12 08: from Britney becoming a cartoon to Madonna's award in a big room

  • March 12, 2008
  • Popjustice

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

»
Britney Spears will not be appearing in the new Britney Spears video. ('Britney Spears Making Comeback As A Cartoon Character' — The Mirror)

»
The results of this little animation project do, however, look quite spec­tac­u­lar. Perhaps the real Britney should now retire and let cartoon Britney do all the hard work? ('That Bitch Looks Nothing Like Her' — Dlisted)

»
New Kelly Rowland songs will be played on the top deck of London buses. ('Down To A T, Kel' — Daily Star)

» Cleverly sidestep­ping an oppor­tun­ity to display any sort of sense of humour,
Leona Lewis refused to comment when a child acci­dent­ally asked her if she was a virgin. ('Is Leo Really A Virgin' — The Sun)

»
REM are very modern and forward-thinking. ('Find REM On Facebook' — The Guardian)

»
More people have listened to the new Madonna album, or at the very least, read some of the lyrics. ('Madonna's New Song Lyrics Reveal Sadness At Guy Ritchie's Distance' — The Mirror)

»
Madonna herself has recently been put in a hall. ('Madonna, Mellencamp Lead Rock Hall's '08 Class' — Billboard)

Blimey.
