The Newsdump, Jan 11 08: from Girls Aloud's Brit to music not being shit

  • January 11, 2008
  • Popjustice

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

» Cheryl Cole is desperate for Girls Aloud to win a Brit Award and doesn't care which one she gets. 'Pop artist demands respect for their work' usually sets the 'six months until press con­fer­ence' countdown clock ticking, so watch this space…  ('We Want A Brit On The Side' — Daily Star)

»
Gary Barlow and the stern lady judge from 'Strictly Come Dancing' are working together on a new musical drama called 'Britannia High'. ('ITV1 Series For Barlow' — The Mirror)

»
Sugababes' Amelle has been arrested for attacking somebody's car. ('Amelle Berrabah Arrested' — The Mirror)

»
Amy Winehouse will not be allowed to attend the Grammy Award show if she won't stop taking drugs. ('Amy's Grammy Drug Deadline' — The Sun)

» Robyn wants to record new material this year. ('Don't Compare Me To Britney' — The Sun)

» Dan from The Feeling feels lonely even when he in a rela­tion­ship. :( ('To The Manor Born' — The Mirror)

»
2008 is going to be a big year for women — and yes, Adele is one of the women in question. ('Winehouse: This Year's Vintage' — The Guardian)


» Aly & AJ have got their tiny religious hands in all manner of pies. ('Aly & AJ Writing New Songs, Plt Films' — Billboard)

» Robbie Williams has thrown his toys out of the pro­ver­bial pram. ('£80million Robbie Williams Goes On Strike' — This Is London)

» Madonna is a 'symbol of modern womanhood' according to her poten­tially biased friend Donnatella Versace. ('Madonna 'Symbol Of Modern Womanhood' — Music-News)

» Not all popular music is rubbish — appar­ently. ('The Golden Age Of Pop' — The Times)

Blimey.
