The Newsdump, Jan 18 2010: from Oritse's cock to Nick Jonas' sideline in serious rock

  • January 18, 2010
  • Popjustice

Eyes down, look in:

» The penis belonging to Oritse from JLS has been given a name by the band's other members. They call it Hancock. (Daily Star)

» Today is 'Blue Monday', the annual day when people spend seven and ahalf minutes doing things they could easily get done in half the time.(The Telegraph)

» Ryan Tedder has been working with Cheryl Cole on new tracks,prompting the Daily Star to speculate that a second solo album might bein the pipeline. Let's not jump to con­clu­sions though — as her firstal­bum proved, Cheryl Cole is not afraid to break music industry­bound­ar­ies and it may be the case that this is for some exciting newformat that is neither 'single' or 'album'. (Daily Star)

» So Solid's Megaman has invented his own concept of money, or something. (Digital Spy)

» If you've had trouble com­pre­hend­ing the horror of the situation inHaiti, this may put things into some sort of persepct­ive: Avril Lavigneis saddened. (Popdirt)

» The Daily Mail report that Susan Boyle has not been nominated for a Brit because she is not cool enough. (The Daily Mail)

» Radio 1's latest recruit is Tom Deacon from the 5:19 show. (BBC Press Office)

» Massive Attack's latest recording sessions have been described as'intense' — a sur­pris­ing departure for the tra­di­tion­ally happy-go-luckypop funsters. (NME)

» Lady Gaga, Kasabian, and JLS will all perform at the Brits, with Dizzee Rascal joining Florence on a 'unique mash-up'. (Daily Star)

» Nick Jonas says that he will balance his time between The JonasBrothers and his new band, Nick Jonas & The Administration. We aresure this will def­in­itely pan out  fine, just like it did when CharlieSimpson said that he would balance his time between Busted andFightstar.  (Digital Spy)

That's your lot. Except to say…

» In Brownsville, Texas, a ban on single-use plastic grocery bagshas been welcomed by local comapny Duro Bag Manufacturing Co — the­pur­por­ted world's number one paper bag maker. (Plastics News)
