Sting Looks At Dwindling Career And Decides That CDs Are Dying

STING is a man who has an amazing life. He’s wealthy and known for his immense sexual feats. That’s all anyone wants from life, right? Sadly for Sting, he’s also roundly loathed for being unbearably smug.

Either way, his career isn’t exactly firing on all cylinders these days. It seems the world’s appetite for lute anthems isn’t what it once was. Of course, the last time lutes were in demand, Britons lived in bushes and ate conkers.

Seeing as his career is on the wane, Sting has looked at the world and decided that the humble CD won’t be around for much longer. Funnily enough, he’s just released his own ‘Sting 25’ app this week. Odd that someone should say something vaguely controversial when they have something to promote. Oh! He’s just announced some tour dates too!

Mariah Yeater Drops Her Case Against Justin Bieber: Lawyers Disperse

MARIAH Yeater has dropped her paternity case against singing foetus Justin Bieber.

Why?

Yeater seemed pretty adamant that Bieber had got her pregnant in a fumbling 30-second long encounter.

What changed? Bieber denied the claims. He says he kept his pull ups on and never met Yeater. He publicly offered to take a DNA test to prove he is not four-month-old Tristyn’s dad.

Ronnie Wood: ‘An Annoying Drunk’

ALCOHOLICS are hilarious aren’t they? Think of the laughs they have when their skin goes yellow and all their organs fail! Oh what pant-wetting japery! Speaking of which, Ronnie Wood – Faces alumni and Rolling Stone – has decided to talk about how drunk he gets.

It’s acceptable to be an old soak in the music industry isn’t it? That’s because it’s ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ and not the action of someone desperately unhappy, bloated or bored.

The 64-year-old (in fairness to Ron, he looks much, much older) rocker has tussled with a drink problem for decades, which is probably why he looks like all four faces on Mount Rushmore. He’s been to rehab several times, but always returned to being a pathetic ale-can.

He entered a clinic for the eighth time last year following a violent altercation with his then-lover Ekaterina Ivanova who was younger and much more attractive than him. And now, he knows that he needs to knock the booze on the head. Presumably because he’ll not be able to waft his credit card around and snare a fit young woman.

Can’s Tago Mago Is 40 This Week: Duncan Fallowell Enlarges

LOVERS of krautrock awake! Spoon Records and Mute are bringing out a 40th anniversary edition of the classic, ‘genre-defying’ Can album Tago Mago this week.

As it happens, leading Arcatiste Duncan Fallowell provided the original liner notes which were taken from an article he published in Melody Maker in October 1971, reprinted for the reissue. He didn’t really want them to, but the record companies said: ‘Oh yes, that’s the whole point, it’s historical. And would you like to write some new ones too?’ So, he has done so.

Duncan was the first person in the UK to visit band Can in Germany and write about them – he ‘broke’ them here as it were – and did it – guess where? – in the once old codgery Spectator. ‘Can you imagine it now?’ Duncan tells Madame. ‘It was really marvellous of the Speccie to go with my wildness in those days which was down to the arts editor really, Kenneth Hurren, but George Gale and the wonderful Harry Creighton were amused by it too. I was 21, 22. It was young fresh acid wildness, not the Jeffrey Barnard sozzled old mackintosh wildness of subsequent Spectator years.’

Jessica Biel’s Organic Striptease Defies Her Looks: Photos

JESSICA Biel would like to explain that her striptease in Powder Blue was more than just a striptease. People can be so judgemental:

“It’s unfortunate. It was brutal for a while. There was so much more that we put into it. [However] I wasn’t so scarred by the experience that I wouldn’t do it again. If a director I trusted came to me with an amazing opportunity and it felt organic, I would do it.”

She used to date Justin Timberlake. You feel they he got away just in time. Biel once said:

“You have to find a balance, especially with what you eat. I don’t live by the idea that you can’t allow yourself a treat. I say, ‘Eat things you like, but eat them in smaller portions’. I always cut things in half and send them back. I’m not perfect, I don’t always do those things, but that’s the goal.”

Jimmy Savile Takes Princess Diana’s Secret To His Concrete Grave

WHY has Jimmy Savile’s coffin been encased in concrete?

Robert Morphet, of Bradford-based Joseph A Hey & Son, explains:

“We felt it was better to securely backfill the grave with a dry-mix of concrete for two reasons. One for security, so that the grave couldn’t and wouldn’t be opened again and secondly to provide a secure foundation for the memorial when it is placed on the grave.”

So. Nothing is of great value in the coffin?

“People may decide there is something of value but it was a steel-casket sprayed gold and I can confirm there was nothing of any value there. He was wearing his medal that he got from the marines, his cigars and his beret.”

Did Justin Bieber Tell An ITV Sound Engineer To F*ck Off In Front Of A Pre-Teen Audience?

HAVING had out minds infiltrated by images of Justin Bieber with his branded pull ups about his knees allegedly a-meetin’ and a-greetin’ Mariah Yeater in a 30-second groin tantrum resulting in a son with porn-star name, PopBitch alleges that Bieber has been cussing in public:

In one of the many many breaks in between songs for the ITV special filmed last night, Bieber was sitting on the side of the stage when a sound engineer tapped him on his back and asked if he could just sound check his mic. The cutesy disneyboy-next-door replied “no you fucking can’t. This is my stage, I tell YOU what the fuck happens on it”. His headset mic was obviously working fine, as this exchange was broadcast to the watching audience. Cue giggling from kids and mass tut-tutting from their parents.

As Frankie Cocozza Melts Away His X Factor Shag ‘n’ Tell Becca Hills Features Is In The Sun Again

MORE news to make us wonder how “student” Becca Hills managed to deliver a shag ‘n’ tell to the Sun about her night with camel-hump haired X Factor femidom gurgler Frankie Cocozza. While Cocozza is melting in the glare of publicity, Becca is illustrating the paper’s feature about how stars are wearing suspender tights. Readers see Becca, whose Facebook profile lists her job as working in Stringfellows lap dancing club and declares an interest in “dogging”, stood between Frankie Sandford, of The Saturdays, talented Jessie J, Pussycat Dolls singer Kimberly Wyatt and Barbadian undies flasher Rihanna.

Starry company, indeed…

Jay Z Moves From Occupy All Street To Occupy Hall Street And Occupy Gall Street

JAY Z, the man who once Occupied Glastonbury and showed the wet canvas-dwelling cider drinker how to urban rock has been making a play to own Occupy Wall Street. Jay-Z has been flogging “Occupy All Streets” T-shirts at $22 a toss. It’s clever stuff. He’s changed one letter to brand it as his own and. Other logos overlooked were:

Occupy Ball Street (for the basketball community)

Occupy Call Street (for derivatives traders)

Occupy Fall Street (for fans of post-punk Manchester-rooted pop)

Occupy Gall Street (for cheeky bastards who try to profit from an anti-greed movement)

Ashton Kutcher’s Refreshingly ‘Dishonest’ Sympathetic Backstory: Stringing Demi Moore Along

ASTON Kutcher “is working so hard to court Demi, 49, that he accidentally wrote a tweet making light of sexual abuse“. Yep, it was not his lack of research, stupidity nor alleged cheating on Moore with “hot-tub ready” slappers that caused him to cheer for an alleged child abuser and Joe Paterno, a man some might call an enabler – it was his love for Demi Moore. Before that clanger Kutcher’s twitter feed was mostly famous for broadcasting a photo of his Demi Moore’s bottom.

Now the New York Post reports.

“He’s been in a bubble. He works 12-hour days, is trying to save his marriage and is involved in the management of close to a dozen Internet companies, so he didn’t really know what he had done until it was too late. He feels terrible.”

R Kelly Is Back! And This Time, He’s Singing About Throat Surgery!

MENTAL. That’s the only correct word you can feasibly describe R Kelly with these days. He’s the Colonel Kurtz of pop, all paranoid and holed-up lashing out at imagined haters, bringing forth the horror, the horror.

And of course, Kels has been quiet of late because he’s been having throat surgery (literally quiet then) but now, well, his voice has mended enough for him to make another absolutely barking track where he veers from pompous, arrogant swine to wounded, sensitive soul in the bat of an eye.

The man himself took to Twitter, saying:

“It’s been a long time coming but I finally feel a lot better about my throat since the surgery and this is the first song I wrote.”

Nadine Coyle Doesn’t Like The Rest Of Girls Aloud, Which Is A Huge Surprise

FACE IT, Girls Aloud were one of the most fun pop bands to have around, releasing a whole bunch of killer singles that managed to straddle the teeny-boppers and the adult pop enthusiast. Of course, with success came trouble and they all went their separate ways piddling around with solo projects and egos.

While Cheryl briefly became the nation’s sweetheart and Nicola, Kimberley and Sarah were just plain likeable while they waited for the Girls Aloud reunion, Nadine Coyle went a bit mad. She waltzed off to America, opened a restaurant, flopped a solo LP and became increasing distanced from her band mates.

Buy Michael Jackson’s Death Bed: Fans Bid For Killed Singer’s Air, Sheets And Drool (Photos)

THE contents of Michael Jackson’s rented house in Holmby Hills, Calif, are up for auction: the beds, the boys and any doctors you can find cowering in a rabbit hutch can all be yours … for  a fee.This is all teh actual stuff Jackson might have touched or even breathed on just before he died.

You might care for upholstered chairs bearing a smudge of what might be Jackson’s makeup, the blackboard carrying a note from one of his children, and – get this – the actual queen-size bed where Jackson died. Yep, queen-sized. You’d imagine something more magisterial for the King of Pop.

Did Mel Gibson’s Talented Sperm Show Laura Bellizzi Around A Gated Community? (Photos)

GRAB hold of your hair plugs and prepare to ull hard: Star Magazine claims Mel Gibson is said to have impregnated Laura Bellizzi (aka Laura Patricio) another of his less than immaculate conception.

You will know Bellizzi from her fine work on reality TV show Secrets of Aspen.

Aspen’s social scene is a hive of scandal and intrigue – and Laura is definitely the Queen Bee. She may spend the off-season in Newport Beach, California, but when Aspen’s in season, Laura’s in town — shaking things up and making friends and enemies in equal numbers. This season she’s back in town with big plans to launch a skiwear line. Twice divorced, Laura is the proud mother of three overachieving daughters, but “mom” isn’t the first thing you think of the first time you lay eyes on this stunning beauty. When Laura sets her sights on anything – from another woman’s man to a business opportunity — heaven help anyone who gets in her way.

She and Mel might be suited:

With that said, my actions on the show aren’t always aligned, and aren’t always going to be aligned with my declared faith of the one thing that I am – I’m a Christian, and I believe in God and I do my best, even though I’m not perfect, each day, to seek, find, and fulfill his purpose for my life.

A Bridgette Willis tells Rumor Fix:

“In fact, it was not long at all after she and Mel met that she became pregnant with his child. I don’t know if the baby was planned but I know Laura has told me that she and her parents are just so happy!”
