A Newsdump for 5 January 2011: From Lana Del Rey's modelling roster to Derülo's neck in plaster

  • January 5, 2012
  • Popjustice

lana_del_rey_pr.jpgAuthentic Chanteuse Lana Del Rey has signed a modelling contract with Next Model Management, which is also home to Ellie Goulding and Jessie J. (Rolling Stone) An exciting roster of young talents, you’ll have to agree.

Taylor Swift will be 'doing a Susan Boyle' and singing songs from Les Misérables, having been offered the role of Eponine in the film version. (Broadway World)

BBC Sound Of 2012 bronze medalist Azealia Banks had a bit of a 'to-do' with Kreayshawn on Twitter, which you can read about here. (Complex) Lessons to be learned: don’t retweet anything from a porn website.

In 'awkward team-up' news, will.i.am would like to work on an album with Serious Thespian Robert Downey Jr. (Contactmusic)

If you were losing sleep over whether or not Rihanna's damp-ridden Beverly Hills mansion would ever be sold, fear not: a buyer has been found. (Los Angeles Times)

Although Nicola Roberts would rather have gone shopping than pay for therapy, she said the exper­i­ence made her "very deep". (Daily Mail)

In news that will certainly reassure Heidi Range that Dancing On Ice is the right career move, 'I’m A Man Not A Boy' hitmaker Chesney Hawkes has been replaced with X Factor 2006 con­test­ant Chico Slimani. (The Sun)

Cheryl Cole is appar­ently working with friend-of-Chipmunk and 'Who’s Laughing Now' scribe Talay Riley on her next album. (Entertainmentwise)

And finally, ridicu­lous yet sporad­ic­ally amazing chanteur Jason Derülo has fractured his neck after too much "tumbling and acro­bat­ics" in pre­par­a­tion for his tour. (Ace Showbiz)

THAT WAS some of THE NEWS.
