The Newsdump, Jan 17 08: from a new job for Frank to more money in Simon Cowell's bank

  • January 17, 2008
  • Popjustice

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

»
Lauren Blake (her out of 'Frank') is still working. ('Bring the Glamour Home' — BAFTA.org)

» Rolling Stones follow Radiohead out of the EMI gates. A shame because their best and most lucrative record­ings are no doubt ahead of them. ('Rolling Stones get no sat­is­fac­tion from EMI' — The Times)

»
Radiohead cancelled their gig in a shop because they are so popular. ('Radiohead Abandon Record Shop Gig' — BBC)

»
It was quite good though. ('Radiohead' — The Times)

»
Britney Spears has been wearing a big shiny ring covered in expensive looking jewels. ('Britney Spears Might Be Engaged' — Starpulse)

»
Lily Allen is getting some much needed winter sun. ('Ed And Lily's £42k Holiday' — The Sun)

»
Robbie Williams' 'Rudebox' album is being used to help the people of China get from A to B. ('Robbie Williams' Unsold CDs Being Shipped To China' — The Mirror)

»
Foxy Brown would like to leave jail early because she can't hear properly. ('Foxy Says Ear Problem Warrants Early Jail Exit' — Billboard)

» Even though most of the previous winners have recently been dropped
by their labels, the people of America are still fairly inter­ested in
finding another briefly suc­cess­ful singer. ('Idol Return Draws 33.2
Million Viewers' — Billboard)

Blimey.
