An old Joy Division album sleeve has been voted the most iconic of all time. Nothing for Us 5's classic 'Here We Go', sadly. ('LP Cover Wins (Joy) Division' — The Sun)

»
The thrilling life of 'Britain's Got Talent' winner Paul Potts is to be made into a Hollywood movie. ('Potts Tale 'To Be Made Into Film' — BBC)
