» Following on from yesterday's wall/hair/Russian language tweet rev­el­a­tions, Marina claims to have "sold her soul". Amazing. (Twitter)

» 'I Am Woman' hitmaker Jordin Sparks is still working on her third album and she wants it to "make sense and be cohesive." (Billboard)

» Kelly Rowland claims there are "a lot of clowns" on this year's X Factor. (Rolling Stone)

» Finally, someone's asked the question we've all been wanting to ask: "Is Lady Gaga trying to make corn sexy?" (Gather Celebs)

» Miley Cyrus supports the idea of turning music down slightly to save your hearing. (North Jersey)

» Aston from JLS claims his life is like that Yellow Pages advert where the boy has to stand on a pile of books to kiss a girl. (STV)

» Sophie Ellis-Bextor has covered an Arcade Fire song for charity. (YouTube)

» And finally, Olly Murs turned down the chance to work with Geri Halliwell because "she's married and she's got kids." (Capital FM)
