Work on a possible James Bond film theme has been abandoned because singer Amy Winehouse is not ready to make music, producer Mark Ronson has said. Winehouse, whose battle against drink and drug addiction has overshadowed her musical success, recently received a police caution for common assault after slapping a man.

Who cares if she is ready or not! She is just a mess who the media keep glorifying. To be honest I am sick to death of her and her antics. Why can’t she just sort herself out or sod off. There are thousands of talented people out there who would love to be given the chance that she has been given.

Queen are said to be releasing their first studio album for 13 years, this will their first album without the vocals of Frontman and legend Freddie Mercury. The last albumthey released “Made in Heaven” was in 1995 and featured material written and recorded by Freddie Mercury before he died in 1991.

The new album named “The Cosmos Rocks” will feature ex-Free singer Paul Rodgers, who has replaced Mercury in the band’s live shows and the band have also announced a Queen and Paul Rodgers 14-nation European tour, starting in September which will include UK dates in Nottingham, Glasgow, London, Cardiff, Birmingham and Liverpool as well as dates in Russia, Poland, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Hungary, Serbia, the Czech Republic and Austria.

But the burning question in my mind is:

Should Queen Return With A New Album?

My answer to that would be a definate “NO”, personally I think they should have give it up when Freddie died, after all he was the character that was Queen! I mean it’s hardly as if they need the money is it??

Born in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States on the 10th of March 1971, Timothy Z. Mosley otherwise known as Grammy winning American record producer, composer, rapper, and singer Timbaland. He has produced hit albums and singles for a number of artists from the mid-1990s to the present day. He has worked alongside and produced hits for a number of stars including, Missy Elliott, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Brandy, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, D.O.E., Madonna, OneRepublic as well as Duran Duran. (more…)

Kate Nash was announced as one of the latest acts to sign up for this years T In The Park festival which is been held at Balado by Kinross, It will be the second time that she has appeared at T In The Park playing last year on the “Futures Stage”, the other acts announced earlier today include Newton Faulkner, who will open the Main Stage on 11 July, and Scouting For Girls,We Are Scientists and Sugababes will also make their second appearances at the festival.

Reformed Indie band Shed Seven will make an appearance as well as David Jordan, The Hoosiers and One Night Only.

Sexy Enrique Iglesias has decided that he will quit performing when he is 50, unlike his father, Julio, who is now 64 years old and still struts his stuff on the stage and has performed approximately 5,000 concerts, the 32 year old singer admits he can’t imagine singing his most famous hits when he’s his father Julio’s age.

Enrique said:

“I’m not sure I want to be up on a stage when I’m 64 or 65. In my father’s case, I think he’s going to die onstage and I respect that very much. In my case, in 15 years I’ll probably look ridiculous singing Bailamos… I want to retire in the next 15 years… Who knows if I’ll have the courage to do it when the day comes.”

Well at least Enrique is thinking ahead and is not going to show himself up like the old fart (sir) Paul McCartney who I personally think is embarassing and talentless!

This was the trailer for a TV documentary programme about Michael Jackson.

Watch as his face morphs seamlessly from a child into the Michael Jackson we all know now.

I know this is quite old but it is still fascinating!

Here is a video of Daft Punks “Harder better faster stronger” with a twist.

It is actually very well done, although at first I thought it was going to be rubbish. Watch for yourself and see what you think.

Personally I think it is very clever, It must have taken ages to get it right though!
