The Newsdump, Apr 15 2008: from Amy's James Bond ode to Kylie's new abode

  • April 15, 2008
  • Popjustice

What has been going on in the world of news?

» Amy Winehouse is busy recording the new James Bond theme and might appear on stage with Jay‑Z at Glastonbury. (The Sun)

» Emily Eavis has been defending Jay‑Z's forth­com­ing appear­ance at Glastonbury, implying that people are racist. She is sure his per­form­ance will win people over. (Independent)

» CSS have lost a bassist. This, viewers, really is the day the music died. (The Guardian)

» The Guardian's coverage of The Jonas Brothers' London gig includes the line "world dom­in­a­tion will be kids' stuff" — a brilliant, 'res­ist­ance is futile'-type line which sums up a writer's fairly weary sense that a band aren't terribly good but, since they are being aimed at children who don't know better, will be huge anyway. (The Guardian)

» And finally, despite millions of us signing petitions demanding a follow-up to the multi-platinum inter­na­tional super­smash 'Tissues & Issues',  Charlotte Church is going to go back to doing classical warbling. (Music News)

» Kylie is consoling herself over being less popular 'Stateside' than Leona Lewis — she's buying a bloody big house. (The Sun)

Blimey.
