Gordon's story about Paul McCartney's invovlement in the next series of Mad Men is a little confused. First, he's writing music: Paul McCartney writes for hit telly series But then, he's not actually writing, just licensing tracks: The show's producers felt his new album mainly of American classics, Kisses On The Bottom, would be perfect for the show and moved swiftly to sign a deal. But even that makes no sense - why would a series that pays attention to period detail the way Sun photographers pay attention to the cast of [...]

Gordon has got hold of MIA's backstage rider. You'd better strap yourself in : CRACKPOT singer M.I.A has one of the weirdest gig riders I've seen. That's setting the bar high. Cher wanted a room for her wigs; Iggy Pop insisted on a copy of USA Today with a story about morbidly obese people in it. And, hey, Gordon, you must have heard of some pretty extreme demands before, too, yeah? One of the backstage demands for her 2011 tour tops Mariah Carey's request for bendy straws and Duran Duran's lavish demands for rare French [...]

It turns out this morning that Gordon doesn't even recognise a photo of himself: Gordon, you've confused yourself with Keith Lemon - it's easy to tell the difference: Keith Lemon is a made-up character, with a childish obsession with women's bodies and a pathetic tendency to fawn around celebrities, whereas Gordon Smart uses his real name. -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

Not Madonna, who managed to be upstaged by MIA's finger. Not MIA, who clearly thought she was subverting something; a bit like a seaside donkey pooping on the prom forgetting he's still carrying a tourist from the ghost train to the gift shop. No, Gordon reveals the real winner of Superbowl Sunday : Rock hero Justin Hawkins from The Darkness was given a 90-second slot during half time in a Samsung advert for the new Galaxy phone. He appeared on screen in a pink and white jumpsuit. As his guitar dropped [...]

Here's some oddness: Gordon has got hold of both Noel's interview with the Mail On Sunday yesterday, and the blog entry where Noel tries to fix some of the damage . Let's first see what Noel had to say: There is a headline that implies that I am of the opinion that the years spent under the rule of that soon to be dead granny, Maggie Thatcher, was good for the soul. I've read the story and I must say it's very misleading; any great working class art, fashion, youth culture etc came to [...]

Click Image Watch Video Fotonica a chilean collective that strives to spread the word on new and talented artists, has reached out to us with the work of Emone Skillz, a Chilean brother, that has been in the hiphop game since 2008 with his album "La Leyenda del Dragón (2008)". It seems that he took some time off, since then and has came back with a bang with this single "Uno Mas Bajo El Sol" (One More Under The Sun). Producer by Dein Dement Emone Skillz: Twitter • Facebook [...]

The only thing more crushing than Robbie Williams launching a Robbie Williams themed poker site is the amount of over-excitement it has created in Tessa Munt: Ms Munt said: "I am absolutely outraged by this. I think it is deplorable. "Robbie Williams of all people should be sensitive to the problem of addiction. "I don't believe there is anything harmless about gambling in this way. The problem is escalation, and he must know what this is like. "There's no excuse for doing this. Young people are hugely susceptible to this [...]

Last week, Gordon Smart was treating Hulk Hogan like he was still an important cultural force. Turns out Gordon's still trapped in 1986 as today it's Vanilla Ice . Gordon nods as Ice talks about his comeback tour: The rapper is gearing up for his comeback tour and says: "I want to hit arenas and really put on a big show. I want lasers, pyros and all that stuff, a huge production." I suspect this hasn't been run past Ice's accountant. I say "accountant", I mean his nephew who's got Excel on his computer. [...]

Mark Wright, the face drawn on a piece of wood from The Only Way Is Essex is going to be in a movie , reports Gordon. A movie? What sort of movie would a producer think "you know what we need for this? George Michael's death mask"? He's going to feature alongside Tamer Hassan and Danny Dyer in a new British gangster movie. Ah, that would make sense. (Did you know they still make British gangster movies? I suppose it keeps Danny Dyer off the streets.) It's hard to imagine how the inept [...]

As we prepare for James Corden's contractually unavoidable Brits hosting, Gordon has bought a magazine which has a photo of him in. In it, Corden is attempting to be Peter Sellars. Smart's verdict? It's Clouse-au but no cigar, James Corden Oh, yes. Clouseau's famous cigar. How could anyone forget... eh? Oh, it's just a joke that doesn't quite work - although, to be fair, Gordon isn't the first to make it . JAMES Corden does his best impression of Inspector Clouseau star Peter Sellers — but it looks like [...]

How long do you suppose Georgia Jagger's career will have run before Gordon stops headlining pieces about her like this : Mick Jagger's daughter Georgia looks ore-some Presumably the only way for her to stop being someone else's daughter is if she gets married, right, Gordon? -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

I'm delighted to see the pretence that the Stone Roses reunion is about anything other than the money has been formally dropped today, with Gordon running a story which is one stop short of a naked Ian Brown rolling in a vat of ten bob bits : STONE ROSES bassist Mani was left speechless after visiting a cashpoint – he'd become £1.8million richer overnight. [...] Mani told pals back home in Stockport: "It's madness. I only went out to buy milk and things. "I went to the cashpoint and someone has stuck nearly £2million in [...]

Gordon himself has filed a breathless piece : NOEL Gallagher has a cunning plan to fill his kids' trust fund – launching an online business naming babies and dogs for cash. Really? Or is this just a joke that Noel made that you're dredging an entire article out of? As ever, it's not to be taken too seriously – his head is full of nonsense. Righto. Well, glad we could clear that up before you started to go into it in any dep... hang on, you're about to go into this in some depth, aren't [...]

Gordon leads today with one of those stories in which nobody comes out well. The Gaultier show ripping off Amy Winehouse's style is pretty shabby . And you can understand Mitch Winehouse being a bit upset: He said: "The family was upset to see those pictures, they were a total shock. "We're still grieving for her loss, and we've had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy's death." Until... "To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on. [...] [...]

Rooftop Runners start us off slow and heavy on "Bang Bang". The Berlin gents display an extreme amount of control, never letting the track step outside of the mood it establishes from the get-go. As a couple of us here on the site dream of one day becoming music supervisors in TV/film, it's easy to imagine this song being played in a scene on a mid-summer day in Arizona; sun glaring; dry heat; and open terrain, just as the new bad ass in town slowly exits his El Camino; Aviators shining and cigarette-a-burnin'… [...]

What's this? Have ITV gone and commissioned another mismatched cop duo drama? One's an out-there maverick who gets results with macrobiotics and wrestling the moves. The other is a suit from City Hall who has the digital skills to get a jump on the bad buys by hac... oh, hang on, it's not that. It's an awkward visit to The Sun headquarters. Somewhat surprisingly, this is the lead story this morning. Great, I suppose, if you were ten years old in 1984 and somehow were still ten years [...]
