Eyes down, look in:

» The Help Haiti single received its first radio play this morning. It's exactly what you expect with added plod. (BBC News)

»
Stars assembled to record the new version of 'We Are The World' broke out into a spon­tan­eous version of 'Lean On Me'. (Yahoo)

»
Pink almost fell to the ground during her Grammys per­form­ance. Did you see it? She was doing her 'handing from the ceiling' routine. (Digital Spy)

» JLS kicked off their tour last night in Ipswich. It features a Michael Jackson tribute. (Daily Star)

» The Glastonbury lineup is almost finalised. Our
pre­dic­tion: dozens of bands you think sound quite good but won't seem
quite as appealing in June when it requires a five minute walk across a
field. (BBC Newsbeat)

»
Coldplay have appeared in The Simpsons, to celebrate the show's twentieth anniversary. (NME)

That's your lot. Except to say…

» In more fish news, American chain Target has made the decision to replace farmed salmon with wild fish. (Fish Update)
