» The song
Hot Chip con­sidered giving to Kylie is being received well. ('Ready For A Fall, Hot Chip Rise To Expectations' — The Guardian)

»
Lil'Kim is on the prowl for a new record label to release her future hits. ('Lil'Kim Parts Ways With Atlantic' — Billboard)

»
Oscars time. Three of the five songs in the Best Original Song category are from 'Enchanted'. ('Enchanted Dominate Oscar Song Category' — Billboard)

»
The new Guns N Roses album is finally on the way, again. ('Guns N Roses Completed New Album?' — Metal News)

»
KT Tunstall is taking a break from her big suc­cess­ful career to write a children's book with Alex from Blur. ('James & Tunstall To Help Write Charity Kids Book' — Yahoo)

Blimey.
