Title: Ridiculous pop news thread

Lame, bizarre, banal and ludicrous 'news' stories from the worlds of rock and pop (and beyond).

Here's one:

P Diddy to change name again.

I was watching that episode of the Simpsons with all the greyhounds the other night and one of the pups had a bowl with 'the puppy formerly known as prince' on the side. :lol:

Spice Girls 'won't make profit from tour': 'We have done this purely to celebrate our fans, the music and ourselves.' Actually, they earned ten million each.

Wouldn't it be great if all the pricks of the world would become friends? We could ship em off to a land mass together and live oblivious to their idiocy.

Shall we arrange a meeting between these pair and Puffy or whatever the fuck his name is?

Yes. Let's bring back transportation! We could send them all far far away. Only problem is that their grandchildren will come back and beat us at cricket.

Whatever Amy Winehouse was doing in the video, I don't know what the police hope to gain from looking at it. Evidence that she has taken drugs? So what? Having taken drugs is not illegal. They know that; so the Sun must have shamed them in to saying they're doing something. Sheesh.

I can accept that for a few years of respite.

'Humbled' David Beckham
Today 15:00

David Beckham has been left "humbled" by his trip to poverty-stricken Sierra Leone.

"In Sierra Leone one in four children dies before their fifth birthday. It's shocking and tragic, especially when the solutions are simple - things like vaccinations against measles or using a mosquito net to reduce the chance of getting malaria."

Well, taking the size of Sierra leone into consideration, its going to have to be a big fucking net and Beckham may not be the man to find it (given his inability to find the net on a football pitch).

Stay tuned to find out how Posh and Becks search for a mosquito net is progressing. By the way, do they actually know what malaria is? And, good god it hardly bears thinking about, but would they know what a VACCINATION is? Somewhere you go on holiday?

Maybe he'll start collecting used footballs to send over there so them kids can get fit for a change. I never heard of anyone getting better by lying in their bunks all day and moan.
Kids here do nothing but run around and play football all day - they never get malaria, do they. That's right. So send them your used footballs, get them malaria kids out of their beds and onto the playing field. Let's call it "BALLS FOR SIERRA LEONE".

great idea

poptastic

malarious

and i see impeccable logic at work

the things we have but that they dont keep us free from malaria

therefore, if we give them some of our things they will automatically become free from malaria

and then they won't need the big net or the big vacations

and the price of the net and the vacations can be put to other use

could pay for the deed poll for P Diddy's name change

to P. Humble Malaria-Vacation

great name for a rapper when you think of it

Hijacking Suspect Wanted To Crash Plane Into Miley Cyrus Concert

A California teenager was arrested in Nashville after allegedly plotting to crash a plane into a concert by 'Hannah Montana' star Miley Cyrus. The 16-year-old plotted to hijack a flight earlier today from Los Angeles to Nashville by using handcuffs, rope and tape. He wanted to order the pilots to divert the course from Nashville to Lafayette, Louisiana and apparently handcuff or tie up the pilots as he crashed the airliner into the Cajundome, even though Cyrus' concert is set for Friday evening.

I expect 99% of the people on this board would prefer to live in Israel rather than Teheran Fred.

That says all there needs to be said about the liberties of the two countries.

It doesn't say the ban's been in place for that long. Still, it would be a curious thing to do. Lift the ban now while it's obvious the Beatles only bring misery. Mc Cartney admitted as much. He thinks he caused the Berlin wall to come down. A lot of good that did. <_<
I hope Australia bans them soon.

BECK APOLOGISES OVER INCORRECT LYRICS
Beck has made a public apology for the inclusion of incorrect lyrics in the
first pressing of his 'Odelay' deluxe reissue. Apparently, the package went
out with un-proofed lyrics which it's alleged were lifted from one of those
many lyrics websites. Subsequent pressings will include corrected lyrics of
course, but for those who've already purchased the reissue, the singer said
in a statement that he was sorry for the "unfortunate oversight and is
making arrangements for the corrected lyrics to be available gratis via
Beck.com".


The bin is the best place for Beck albums. :grrr:

Come on now, it is going to be available 'gratis' at Beck.com. If that's not looking after the fans, I don't know what is.

Well I suppose,maybe we are being a bit too unkind. But if that is the 'Deluxe' issue, what will the new one be called?
'Suckers for any bit of stupid advertisement stratedgy' issue
Or, 'S-FABO-SOS'.
