The Newsdump, Feb 11, 2010: from Ne-Yo's helping hand to Huey's woeful band

  • February 11, 2010
  • Popjustice

Hold onto your hats:

» Ne-Yo is offering to give The X Factor's Cheryl Cole a helping hand with her musical career 'Stateside'. Because what Cheryl Cole really needs now is some more watered down, badly-lyriced R&B not deemed good enough for US a‑listers. (Daily Star)

» Composer, producer and reknowned 'friend of Shirley Bassey' David Arnold embarked this morning on a pas­sion­ate rant about con­fec­tion­ary, noting in one tweet that "Curly Wurlys look like chocolate ladders built by imbeciles". (Twitter)

» Sharleen Spiteri's new album is a col­lec­tion of movie soundtrack covers, a concept so naff even Weslife refused to do it. If you haven't heard her version of 'Xanadu' yet you're in for a treat (not a treat at all). The Sun have the video. (The Sun)

» Gabriella Cilmi has been explain­ing her motiv­a­tion for basically getting her knockers out. (Digital Spy)

» Keisha Buchanan is denying all knowledge of the recent Sugababes album leak. (Digital Spy)

» Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper have appeared on Good Morning America to discuss HIV. (YouTube)

» Leona Lewis has eaten some tofu. (Daily Star)

» Real's music service Rhapsody is not long for this world. (The Register)

» Fun Lovin' Criminals, the world's worst band, are back with new 'music' and a new video. (The Sun)

That's your lot. Except to say…

» Work on the Stuttgart 21 project, meaning that Stuttgart's main station will be replaced with a sub­sur­face station 12m below ground, began last week. (Tunnel Builder)
