» 2010: Sam Sparro discovers his first grey hair, announces it via Twitter. (Twitter)

» Here's something we missed just before Christmas: the Human League have signed a new deal with Wall Of Sound. (Electronically Yours)

» Boyzone's Mikey Graham says that appearing on Dancing In Ice is like 'therapy'. The words, ladies and gentlemen, of someone who needs a bit of actual therapy. (Radio 1 Newsbeat)

» In news nobody could have seen coming, Morrissey has split with his man­age­ment. (Digital Spy)

» Lady Gaga would like to duet with Boy George, and is casting the video for "single 'Alejandro'". (The Sun)

» The Saturdays are on the cover of the new FHM. They are not exactly wrapped up for winter. (The Sun)

» Ellie Goulding has topped the BBC Sound Of 2010 list. (BBC News)

And that's your lot. Except:
