She has now […]

Amy Winehouse has been rushed to hospital again, and I’m getting a distinct feeling of deja vu. The only question we need to ask this time around: Is it the crack or the emphysema?
According to BBC News, an ambulance was called to the 24-year-old singer’s Camden home at 8.40pm. A young woman was then taken […]

Although I’m proud to be British, I’m also aware of the UK’s history as an empire builder, which wasn’t the glorious time in our past that many would have you believe. Basically, we went around invading countries, and claiming them for ourselves. Kind of like the USA is doing now.

The members of the Rolling Stones may all be in their sixties, but they are still one of the most commercially-viable bands around at the moment. Which makes their defection from EMI to Universal a big blow to the former, and a massive boost to the latter.

Amy Winehouse is the latest celebrity to be immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds in London. While she wasn’t present to see herself uncovered in public for the first time, her parents Mitch and Janis were.
They were so taken with the model, they expressed an interest in taking it home to replace the real […]

Amy Winehouse is always talking about her husband Blake Fielder-Civil. Whether it’s during a live show and she dedicates a song to him, or whether it’s in an interview, and she tells the reported he’ll be out soon, the two go hand in hand. But they won’t be hand in hand for the next 18 […]

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett are the innovators and, dare I say it, geniuses behind the animated satirical anti-band Gorillaz. But while that is their best-known collaboration, with the band having two hugely successful albums, and worldwide fame, both are also famous for other things.
Albarn is of course the former lead singer of Blur, one […]
