The Newsdump, March 17 08: from an angry Kate Nash to Coldplay earning a lot of cash

  • March 17, 2008
  • Popjustice

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

»
You would not want to be standing next to Kate Nash at a popular music concert. ('Kate Bash' — The Sun)

»
Some people thought SXSW good though, even if Kate Nash didn't. ('SXSW Goes Out On A High' — The Guardian)

»
Franz Ferdinand are making a very strange and not very Xenomaniesque new album. ('A Whole New World For Franz Ferdinand' — The Independent)

»
Duffy is more popular than Leona Lewis for the time being. ('No Mercy For Duffy's Chart Rivals' — BBC)

»
Rihanna is re-releasing her last album with a new track called 'Take A Bow' on it. If you were wondering, 'Take A Bow' is rubbish. ('Rihanna Re-Releases 'Good Girl' With New Ne-Yo Track' — Billboard)

»
Being famous in America has given Natasha Bedingfield the con­fid­ence to get a load off her chest con­cern­ing the behaviour of her fellow popstars. ('Bedingfield Slams Industry Rivals' — Yahoo)


»
Coldplay are not cheap to hire. ('Brit Band Set To Be Goldplay' — The Sun)

Blimey.
