The Newsdump, Jan 14 2010: farewell, Teddy Pendergrass

  • January 14, 2010
  • Popjustice

Eyes down, look in:

» Soul legend Teddy Pendergrass is dead at 59. Watch him literally walk down memory lane at his official website. (San Francisco Chronicle)

» Beyonce and Jay‑Z are both extraordin­ar­ily rich. (The Sun)

» The BBC has admitted that all that constant banging on and on and fucking on about U2 was a bit over the top. (Media Guardian)

» Rihanna looks basically brilliant on the cover of the new W Magazine. (Wmagazine.com)

» Pet Shop Boys have unveiled the artwork for their new 'Pandemonium' live CD/DVD with audio produced by STUART BLOODY PRICE. (Petshopboys.co.uk)

» Guy Ritchie WILL SING on the pub rock album he's putting out on his own Universal imprint. We're expecting this album to sit on the quality spectrum somewhere in between Body Rockers' 'The Way You Move' and Craig Philips' 'At This Time Of Year'. But let's remain open-minded, viewers — it might be brilliant!!! (Warning: this album will in no way be 'brilliant'.) (The Sun)

» Julian Casablancas isn't very happy with the way his label pulled off the campaign for his solo album. The plot was good, he says, it just wasn't executed properly. Here's an idea Julian, and we're just going to 'float this one out there', perhaps it was all going according to plan until the point when media and fans actually hard the album and realised it was 70% shit. (Digital Spy)

» Popjustice is quoted in an article about the impact on the pop charts of news­worthy politi­cian Peter Robinson. (UTalkMarketing)

That's your lot. Except to say…

» The British Goat Society report that there was recently a high standard of applicant for the post of Secretary, and that Mrs Jane Wilson of Tarset in Northumberland was the offered the job. Jane will start work for the Society on March 1. (Allgoats.co.uk)
