The Newsdump, Jan 11 2010: from Sidney Samson's defeat to Mika's meat

  • January 11, 2010
  • Popjustice

Eyes down, look in:

» Beating Sidney Samson's  terrible/brilliant 'Riverside', the brilliant/terrible 'Replay' by Iyaz is the new UK Number One. (Radio 1)

» That Gabriella Cilmi video is online if you're inter­ested (keep your eye out for the classy "I am a woman" cho­reo­graphy). (Daily Motion)

» Still on Cilmi — oh dear, she seems to be posing with a whip. :( (The Sun)

» Simon Cowell says that American Idol will be fine without him ie when he launches The X Factor in America and does a massive great shit on American Idol from a great height (we're para­phras­ing here). (BBC News)

» Can it really be true that Lady Gaga intends to feature David Walliams in the 'Alejandro' video? (Gaga News)

» Alicia Keys says that she doesn't read tabloids or gossip sites. We wonder whether she, like most singers, dismisses as irrel­ev­ant the negative comments from these sources but doesn't mind quite as much hearing about the positive things those pub­lic­a­tions have to say. (Digital Spy)

» The video for Sade's 'Soldier Of Love' is online. It could do with a car chase. (Soul Culture)

» Over 108 million people have watched the video for Miley Cyrus' '7 Things'. 92 million have watched Pitbull's 'I Know You Want Me'. This is the world we live in, readers. And these are the hands we're given. (Readwriteweb)

» In news that is something of a headline writer's wet dream — and we
feel The Sun's subs haven't really hit the spot with their own attempt
— Mika has revealed (that's 'revealed') that he puts veal in his shoes when he's on stage. (The Sun)

That's your lot. Except to say…

» Aluminium Corp of China has lifted its alumina price by 7%, according to market sources. (Metal Bulletin)
