  • January 21, 2008
  • Popjustice

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

» Hot Chip say that Kylie wrote songs for them. ('Reel Players' — Guardian Guide)

» Some cheery news for the music industry in America. ('Recession Keeps Knocking, Implications Await Music Industry' — Digital Music News)

» Bono thinks that "Irish people are essen­tially Latin people who don't know how to dance". ('U2 concert film debuts in 3D at Sundance' — The Boston Globe)

» Janet Jackson doesn't want to support her brothers at their live shows. ('Oh Brothers' — Daily Star)

» A singer (Beverley Knight) wants her friends (Take That) to win an award. ('Beverley Knight wants Take That to win Brits' — The Mirror)

» Ringo Starr was a right old cock on the Jonathan Ross show on Friday night. ('Beatles' Ringo Is A Falling Starr' — The Sun)

» Lil' Chris is talking about his career in the past tense. :( ('The 5‑minute Interview: Lil'Chris, singer and TV presenter' — The Independent)

» Britney Spears is quite popular to write about in news­pa­pers and magazines. ('Britney remains big business' — Media Guardian)

» Headline of the day! Hilariously, the Adele backlash is already in full flow — appar­ently 'Chasing Pavements' storming the charts at Number 2 is a failure… ('Adele Fails In Bid For Debut Number One' — Sound Generator')

Blimey.
