  • Popjustice

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

»
Avril Lavigne will be per­form­ing all those foreign language versions of 'Girlfriend' when she goes on tour. ('Smart Avril' — Daily Star)

»
The next Kaiser Chiefs album will have a lot of trumpets on it. ('Mark Ronson Agrees To Produce Kaiser Chief's New Album' — The Mirror)

»
Craig David will be touring in the summer. ('Craig David Kicks Off UK Tour In June' — The Mirror)

»
Duffy is less than impressed with being compared to almost every other soul singer ever to walk the planet. ('Duffy: Don't Call Me Winehouse' — The Sun)

»
Arctic Monkeys might win some awards this afternoon. ('Arctic Monkeys Lead NME Nominations' — Yahoo)

»
Busted are back together — if only to be sued by former members of the band. We have one or two things to say about this but it is probably for the best if we say nothing. ('Busted's Chart Hits Land Them In Court' — The Guardian)

»
Those among you eager to learn more about Eminem's life 'n' times will have to wait until the autumn to do so. ('Eminem Memoir Penciled In For Fall' — Billboard)

»
The Spice Girls comeback has now offi­cially ground to a halt. The world, somehow, continues to turn. ('Spice Girls' Group Hug' — The Sun)

»  And finally,
Mel C plans to inflict a 'new' album on the American public. ('Spice Girl Mel C Finds 'Time' For New Album' — Billboard)

Blimey.
