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

group of Mark Owen fans are trying to get one of his old singles back
into the charts. ('Marks Hail And Hearty' — Daily Star)

» Amy Winehouse's chatty dad does not want his daughter going to the Grammy Awards. ('Amy Winehouse's Dad Mitch Says Grammys A No-Go' — The Mirror)

»
Hot Chip are hoping to work with Westlife in the near future. ('Loife's Hot Chip Off The Block' — The Sun)

» Musical cheese vendor
Alex James' invest­ig­a­tion into cocaine concludes that drugs are probably bad. ('Alex James: Coke Is No Joke' — The Guardian)

»
The lucky people of Israel are allowed to listen to Beatles records for the first time in 43 years. ('Israel Lets It Be' — The Independent)

»
The new Gnarls Barkley album has been given a name. ('Gnarls Barkley Feeling 'Odd' On New Album' — Billboard)

»
Missy Elliot's new video promises to be a typically under­stated affair. ('Missy Goes 3‑D For New Video' — Billboard)

50 Cent has thrown at strop at his G‑Unit chaps and banned Ciara from working with any of them, thus depriving the world of some no-doubt brilliant music. ('50 Cent Bans Ciara Collaborations' — Yahoo)

Blimey.
