What's going on?

» The Isle of Wight festival replaces one slightly wooden per­form­ance with another. (The Guardian)

» The Sugababes — "currently made up of Keisha, Heidi and Amelle" —  now spend their time looking at old frocks and comparing them­selves semi-favour­ably to The Supremes. (The Times)

» Another big pen splodge on the Madonna Promotional Bingo Card — she's been saying naughty words on the BBC. (Music News)

» Huge mobile phone company stops pre­tend­ing to stage 'impromptu' guerilla gigs and announces a mini-festival featuring Gnarls Barkley, Sugababes and The Feeling. (Music News)

» 'Glastogate' rolls on — this time Jay Z reckons he's worthy of playing and admits he's just following a trail blazed by Will Smith . (The Sun)  

» Nobody knows if Amy Winehouse is going to record the new James Bond theme but Daniel Craig would love it if she did. (6 Music)

Tidy.
