The Newsdump, Feb 12 08: from Doherty on a posh stage to Natalie Cole in an Amy Winehouse rage

  • February 12, 2008
  • Popjustice

What has been going on in the world of news while we've all been asleep?

»
Pete Doherty
has been booked to splash sweat all over the stage at the posh Albert Hall. ('Doherty To Play Albert Hall Show' — BBC)

»

But not just any old fool can play the Albert Hall. REM have also announced a date at the same venue. Their new single arrived in the office today. It is 'alright'. ('REM Play UK' — Yahoo)

»

Mark Ronson is being very humble re his Grammy Award. ('Top Mark' — Daily Star)

»
David Jordan has his next two albums written and recorded. ('David Jordan Is Working Hard' — Daily Star)

»

Hopefully Amy Winehouse wil spend all her new money wisely. ('Experts Predicts Global Boost For Winehouse' — The Guardian)

»
Avril Lavigne
is going on tour, which will give her a nice break from designing her clothing range and inventing new smells to go into her perfume. ('Lavigne Ready To Rock On 'Damn' Tour' — Billboard)

»

Not everyone is over the moon that Amy Winehouse won everything at the Grammy Awards. Natalie Cole (ask your mum) is not happy about Amy's influence on young people. ('Natalie Cole Isn't Feeling The Love For Wino' — Dlisted)


Blimey.
