The Asian Music Awards 2011: Getting The Mainstream To Notice

THE UK Asian Music in Photos: Asian music is credible and, vitally for the music biz, saleable. The likes of the excellent Asian Dub Foundation never made it big in the mainstream because the mechanism was not there to promote the acts in the media and secure recordable record sales (much Asian music is still sold in small shops and not recorded in official chart data).

Britney Spears Is An Airmopped Audrey Hepburn: Photos

BRITNEY Spears is posing seductively for Out Magazine. Before the photos that are less airbrushing than airmopping, Britney says that she was once Audrey Hepburn, in a former life.

Hepburn went to the great tomato in the sky in 1993.  Brit was hatched in 1981.

Other than that they are two peas in a pod: one a petite pois, the other a marafat pea ready to be mushed.

Is A Pete Doherty Doppelganger At Work In Germany?

DOES pop fuckwit Peter Doherty have a doppelganger who robbed a record store in Germany. Doherty is in Germany recording a film called “Confession of a child of the Century” (which would make him 11 and below the age of criminal intent.).

Reports from the Bavarian city of Regensburg are that three men were seen breaking into a music store, where they stole a guitar and records, and someone says one of them looked a lot like Doherty.

A German newspaper reports (translation via Google):

Doherty has received a subpoena from the police. In the afternoon, the musicians will be questioned at an undisclosed location to reproach. In addition, said police spokesman Michael Rebele the MDGs, the officials wanted to know from him who he was in the night in question was traveling in Regensburg.

A search of the hotel room on Tuesday evening had brought no further evidence. With a search warrant judicial officials had Doherty’s room in a hotel Regensburg combed through stolen property – without success.

At Home With Rod Stewart’s Son Sean And Chantel: The Pale Puff Daddy

SEAN Stewart, son of Rod Stewart, leaves his black shirt unbuttoned to just above his gazey navel, crosses his legs and allows the arm he’s using to dandle a flute of champagne be cradled by his finacee Chantelle Dreeson. Behind them is a black grand piano and a roaring fire.

Chantelle sports long legs, very blonde hair and a copy of what looks like an Archie comic inked onto her right forearm.

They look like a parody of Amsterdam hoteliers welcoming a party of rural German swingers. The interview promises to be special.

Phil Collins Commits To Suicide On A Bike In Switzerland

PHIL Collins says  “no one will miss me“.  Collins  is not committing suicide – although he does live in Switzerland, where the Government is not insensitive to the effects of fierce civic pride on the psyche.

He’s retiring from music. Yep, you thought he bowed out years ago. But Collins tells FHM that he’s now officially out of music and “I don’t think anyone’s going to miss me. I’m much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely…”

Good of to tell us that he irrelevant and unlamented. God speed, Phil:

“I’m a very different person now. I saw some of this show of mine from 1985 and I was on-stage and I never stopped running, never stopped talking. The fact that people got so sick of me wasn’t really my fault. Yes there was a lot of me to dish out – there was me, me and Earth, Wind & Fire’s Phil Bailey, me and Genesis, me and that movie I was in, Buster – there was a lot of stuff. But I only made those records once.”

After The Earthquake, Haiti Gets Media Missionary Charlie Sheen

LOOK out Haiti, Charlie Sheen is bringing his “tsunami” to a pile of crack rock rubble near you. It’s not tasteless to tie your quest for fame to human misery – it’s not like Sheen’s heading to Indonesia.

Sheen tells Access Hollywood that he;ll be travelling with Sean Penn:

“We’re going to do a couple things first and then it looks like we’re heading down (to Haiti). And I’m excited as hell because, you know, if I can bring the attention of the world down there, then clearly this tsunami keeps cresting.”

Highlights of the interview with the self-styled warlock possessed of curative tiger blood in his veins (this might be the break Julian Sands has been waiting for – the Frosties gig is his to lose) are:

Crimes Against Music, No.1: ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’ By Joe Cocker

Crimes against music, no.1: ‘With A Little Help From my Friends’ by Joe Cocker

IN 1968, the world of pop music was beginning to fragment, as ‘serious’ musicians were began to establish a new order. This sea change was symbolised by a single Beatles number: ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’ – the ‘Ringo song’ from Sgt Pepper. When Joe Cocker released his cover version, the accompanying ad featured a cartoon Starr with a speech bubble that ran: ‘Hey Joe, don’t make it bad… Take a sad song and make it better.’ The contrast between the dapper drummer, pictured in his Carnaby Street clobber, and the wild-looking Cocker could not have been clearer. It was a graphic illustration of the divergent ‘pop’ and ‘rock’ sensibilities that had now emerged.

Elton John Feeds Zachary Breast Milk – From A Breast

ELTON John is feeding his son Zachary breast milk. Very possibly from an actual Muslim male breast:

I asked Elton John if he was cloth diapering Zachary. He looked at me a second and then replied “Well, we use proper nappies.“  I knew immediately that had to be a yes, but to be sure that I did not give false information I had him clarify for me what exactly  “proper nappies” were.  I asked, so are they reusable or do you throw them away.  He said “Well they’re proper nappies, cloth”.  You know how awesome I thought that was?  Celebrities cloth diapering.  Wow…Elton John cloth diapers his son!

It get’s better…

After seeing how important this sort of thing was to me, Elton then informed me that Baby Zachary is thriving off of an awesome diet of Breastmilk!
