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

»
Paul McCartney and Beth Ditto got on quite well when they had a brief con­ver­sa­tion about something com­pletely incon­sequen­tial. ('Beth's Big Pal Macca' — Daily Star)

»
Unsurprisingly, Take That are planning another album. ('That's Best Yet To Come' — Daily Star)

»
Alesha Dixon is not planning a return to tele­vi­sion in the immediate future. ('Alesha's Show No For Gladiators' — The Sun)

»
REM will play some enormous gigs near the end of 2008. ('REM Announce Massive Stadium Dates' — The Guardian)

»
Donna Summer is working with some very clever and talented people on a new album. ('Donna Summer Inks With Burgundy' — Billboard)

»
David Bowie claims that the Scarlett Johansson album he worked on is very good. ('Bowie Hails Johansson's Waits Covers, Plays Down Own Contributions' — Yahoo)

»
Viewers of American tele­vi­sion movies will be seeing a lot more of P Diddy in years to come because he is now AN ACTOR. ('P Diddy: Acting Has Changed My Life' — Yahoo)
