The Newsdump, Jan 9 08: from Robbie's plans to Eminem's glands

  • January 9, 2008
  • Popjustice

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

»
Robbie Williams has no plans to tour or release a 'proper' album in 2008 — he's blaming his reluct­ance on mince pies. ('Robbie's Loving Indoors Instead' — The Sun)

»
Pandora, the actually useful online service which helps you find new music you might like, has effect­ively been shut down in the UK by the music industry, with its founder sending a fairly poignant message to UK users. ('Pandora To Close In UK' — TrustedReviews) / ('Music fees row forces Pandora to pull plug on UK webcasts — The Guardian)

»
Fergie claims to quite like sex. She also claims to be 32. ('Fergie Says She's A Sex Freak' — The Sun)

»
You will be pleased to hear that 90s band Oasis have almost finished their new album. ('Oasis Mixing The New Album In LA This Week?' — Stop Crying Your Heart Out)

»
After a non-dis­astrous stint as Big Brother, Kelly Osbourne claims that she can save Amy Winehouse. (Osbourne's There For Amy — The Mirror)

»
Coldplay aren't leaving EMI after all. (Daily Star)

»
'Lazy' popstars (such as layabout Mick Jagger, can't‑be-arsed Thom Yorke and bed-bound Kate Bush) are getting tellings off at EMI. (The New Rules At EMI — The Times)

»
If you like classical music you are in luck — a London based violinist is giving hers away for free — a bit like Radiohead did but with less gloomy singing. ('Violinist Gives Away Her Music Online' — This Is London)

»
The important news­pa­pers approve of the new Sia album. ('Some People Have Real Problems' review — The Independent)

»
Pete Wentz has become the latest Cosmo covergirl. ('Pete Wentz Is Full Of Shit' — DListed)

»
Eminem spent a rubbish Christmas in hospital suffering with pneumonia. The fact that he now weighs 15 stones is being blamed for his illness. ('Eminem Hospitalised' — Yahoo Music News)

Blimey!
