The Newsdump, Jan 18 08: From singing for Mark singing a song to Rufus' potential gong

  • January 18, 2008
  • Popjustice

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

» Mark Ronson is learning to sing so he doesn't have to rely on amateurs like Amy Winehouse for his next album. ('Mark Tunes
In' — Daily Star)

» It's two thumbs up from the Mirror to the new Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey albums. ('Janet Jackson Set for Comeback' — Mirror)

»
An irrel­ev­ant feud between Alex Zane and The Enemy appears to have been resolved. ('Alex Zane Makes Up With The Enemy' — The Mirror)


»
Everyone is still buying CDs. ('HMV Defies Retail Gloom To Post Best-Ever Christmas Sales' — The Times)

»
The new Lupe Fiasco album is a bit bleak due to Lupe himself having had a miserable time of things recently (the headline does not refer to Wales). ('I Was In A Dark Place For Album' — The Sun)

»
Beyonce will become a 'scab' and cross the picket line to perform at the Grammy Awards. ('Beyonce Willing To Cross Picket Lines To Perform At Grammys' — Yahoo)

»
Rufus Wainwright is quite happy that he might win Brit Award. ('Rufus Wainwright, Judy Garland And That Rainbow' — The Times)

Blimey.
