Correction notice: Andrew Stone is no longer Starman Contrary to recent representations made in the media, Starman , the electro-pop group set up by Andrew Stone during the hit reality TV show Pineapple Dance Studios , was officially disbanded in February 2011 due to creative differences between the band members. Since that time Andrew Stone has been working towards a solo music career. Andrew's debut album, which has been produced by David Anthony from BGM/Chrysalis, is set to [...]

Let's leave Gordon's desk for a while, and look instead over at the Sun's health pages. They have news about a public education campaign : THE Bee Gees hit Stayin' Alive is at the heart of a new campaign launched today — to save the lives of cardiac arrest victims. [...] It says that pumping the chest at between 110 and 120 beats per minute — the same rate as the 1978 hit — is more effective than a poor breath resuscitation attempt. The charity is launching the TV campaign, backed by the UK Resuscitation [...]

The Celebrity Big Brother producers wanna get their greedy claws into ex-con actress Lindsay Lohan , saying that "she's a Hollywood A-lister and everyone knows about all the trouble she's been in". Leave to it sleezy producers to want to profit off of other people problems, such is the nature of the machine I suppose. The 'Big Brother' crew had already flown to L.A. to do some background shoots, obviously having counted their proverbial chickens before the judge had a chance [...]

This morning's Bizarre gives a double page spread to the NME Awards shortlist . Doubtless IPC will be delighted, but hasn't the idea that the NME prizes is some sort of alternative take on the Brits now vanished totally? Course, Gordon's coverage is in part driven by his beloved Kasabian having been lined up for so many categories: Kasabian have proved they are the best in the country on current form and deserve the title of Best British Band. Last year's No1 album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, was a cracker. [...]

Via Popbitch , and for Kara: >> Celebrity Big Brother << C4 go for the dimmest Baldwin brother celtiagirl writes: "Stephen Baldwin has been a mentalist for yonks. I met him around the time of The Usual Suspects and he showed me an IRA tattoo he'd had done. I asked, 'Did he know anything about the IRA?' 'Not really', he admitted: but he felt it was probably [...]

So, if I've understood this: Boy George is being asked to be allowed to finish the punishment which stops him leaving a house at night , in order to be allowed to be detained in a house all day.

Mutya, having failed to be evicted, has walked from the Big Brother house . She says she couldn't stand being away from her child any longer; the reality, and there's no shame in it, is that she wouldn't want to spend another second listening to the self-obsessed perpetually-confused Coolio. Coolio's defence, when challenged on being as boorish as he is balding, is that he's playing a character, or playing games. Clearly, he doesn't like himself much, either, the speed with which he denies himself.

Verne Troyer is currently on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK and they made all the house guests , not just Mini-Me, dress up like teddy bears and eat from a honeypot. When former pop star Michelle Heaton and Hollywood actor Verne Troyer objected to being told to dress as teddies and eat a pot of honey, they were simply told to 'bear with it'.

When I saw these High School pictures of Verne "Mini Me" Troyer , I couldn't help myself. It was so easy to put Mini Me up against Arnold Schwarzenegger . Don't they have the same nose? It's like they're related in weird features or something. On Celebrity Big Brother , he says he's going to do what it takes to get to the top. He's determined to win, saying, "If that means [...]

So, in yesterday's batch of highlights from Channel 4's rest home for the famous but confused, the producers injected a note of cruelty into proceedings by making people demonstrate the skills which made them famous-enough-for-celebrity-Bi g-Brother. Poor LaToya found herself singing along to one of her brother's songs and Mutya was invited to do a Sugababes song, rather than one of her solo efforts. At least Michelle Heaton was allowed to do a Liberty X song - although that turned out to be even crueller, given that she could no more hit a note than a [...]

You know what's really heartbreaking about the announcement of the completion of the solo album from Preston who used to be in Chanelle And Preston? It's the timing , oh-so-coincidentally at the same time as Celebrity Big Brother is on. Because he was on that, you know. He was the one who had to pretend he was in a band that people had heard of, back in 2006.

Bill Shankly Socialism T Shirt update I was (half) right. Quick blogsearch reveals that it was Sheridan who was wearing the T shirt in the CBB house: "Tommy has already been using the show to promote his left-wing beliefs. Yesterday he wore a sweatshirt with legendary Liverpool boss Bill Shankly's famous socialism quote. His jumper read: "The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. "That's how I see football, that's how I see life." [...]

Oh, god, they've barely had time to unpack and already there's unpleasantness at the Big Brother house. And, for some reason, Dan Wootton's been put in charge of coverage at the News of the World: CELEBRITY Big Brother was embroiled in yet another race row last night after gangster rapper Coolio used the racist term n****r - but was NOT disciplined by Channel 4 bosses. Actually, Dan, it's gangst a rapper and, although it's hard to be certain, Coolio almost certainly said n***a, not n****r. But it is confusing, isn't [...]

i don't usualy get into the celeb reality shows, partly as i don't usually know who the 'celebs' are. the last celeb bb scraped the barrel but ended up the most controversial yet. i kind of hope standby contestant tony mortimer gets a go. ben adams was apparently in a band called A1. i don't remember them at all. i didn't remember the band ziggy from the last bb was supposedly in around the same time either. clearly i wasn't paying attention. mutya buena [...]

The cost of inviting O'Meara et al on two years back: This year, not only is Celebrity Big Brother sharing a sponsor with "prime time on ITV3", but they're even using the same break bumpers. Oh, the shame. So, Davina - dressed in an ostrich with Freak-from-Cell-Block-H gloves - is here to detail which C-Listers are prepared to risk everything for a chance to get invited back onto the B-List. Brought to you by Dreams, who must also be quivering alongside the collapse of MFI and the difficulties of their sofa-pushing brethren. Who do you have, Davina? [...]

A vague couple of words speculating that LaToya Jackson might be this year's Jackson in the Big Brother house unleashed an enormous monster of a Jackson fan in the comments: You would only have to bother Googling La Toya Jackson to know that she too is representing the pop world, with 10 albums released since 1980, a Grammy nomination for her songwriting. A few people out there may also know her recent US club chart hits Just Wanna Dance and Free The World under her alias 'Toy'. She was also part of USA for Africa - [...]

Paul Weller gave The Ordinary Boys a small boost early on in what I shan't call "their career" lest people think me sarcastic. Weller told people he loved the band. Now, though, Weller is withdrawing his support . Why he's even bothering to mention this in 2008 is puzzling - it's a little bit like saying you no longer endorse John Kerry for president, isn't it? What's even more bemusing is his reasoning: "What happened to them, man? I thought he was a credible character, serious about what he was doing," Weller told [...]

Since we last mentioned Celebrity Big Brother, the story has grown and grown - there was a strange moment last night when you could flick between E4 and BBC One, and Russell Brand and David Dimbleby were both inviting an audience to ask famous faces about the goings on in the house. David Cameron has pretty much defined his leadership by suggesting that the answer to the complex questions raised by the programme is to "not watch it" - the Tories, of course, have long responded to racism by looking the other way and pretending it isn't happening, [...]
