Kylie Minogue is planning to launch her pop comeback with a new album. She was recently given the all-clear after battling breast cancer for almost a year; and now has already started "playing around with lyrics". Kylie is keen to get back in the studio to record some new tracks. An insider said: "She is feeling better than ever. The past year has been incredibly tough but she is determined to get back to what she loves best - singing. It would be the perfect way to thank her fans for all their support." Meanwhile, it's been revealed Kylie's recovery from cancer is going so well her hair is beginning to grow back. Yeeeeeaaaaaaaah! *slow down and dance with me...yeah...slow* Can't wait for more groovy tunes from this red blooded woman.

Well, waddaya know? Cheryl Tweedy has been voted Britain's sexiest footballers' wife. The current squeeze of Ashley Cole and singer of GA, topped an FHM reader poll. She was streets ahead of rivals including Coleen McLoughlin. Alex Curran, girlfriend of Steven G, was second. She was followed by former Emmerdale star Sheree Murphy, wife of Harry Kewell. Rooney's other half Coleen only managed fourth place - and some 'has-been' posh girl didn't figure in the list at all. The FHM Bloke Awards were voted by over 100,000 FHM readers. The people power voters have spoken.


Keane have announced details for their upcoming album. Their new album will be called "Under The Iron Sea," and will be released on June 12th. Their debut CD "Hopes and Fears" was the second-biggest selling album of the year in the U.K. in 2004. The first two UK singles from Keane's new album will be 'Atlantic', a download-only single to be released in mid-April, followed by 'Is It Any Wonder?', which will follow on physical formats on May 29th. 'Atlantic' is rumored to be about the struggle of pianist Tim Rice-Oxley's relationship with his now wife on the road. Rumors are that they'll start a US tour in or around Sept/Oct. This band need to deliver with style if they want to avoid being labelled as a 'one album wonder', especially when loud rock n roll is 'in' thing right now.

Radiohead are set to visit Ireland as part of a low-key tour to showcase material for their new album. The group are believed to have pencilled in a date for August in Marlay Park in Dublin. The band are nearly finished working on the long-awaited follow-up to 2004's "Hail to the Thief". Bootleg versions of the track have circulated amongst fans over the net, but a full studio version has never surfaced. The song has never been properly recorded. An early version of the tune can be found on the band's documentary 'Meeting People Is Easy'.

Shirley Manson is now working on a solo album and she insists Garbage will not split. The Scot said the band were horrified at rumours they were splitting. "We're still together but Butch is going back into production and some of the other guys are working on movie soundtracks." She is writing with composer David Arnold, who worked with Garbage on The World Is Not Enough in 1999. "I want to live a little freely and just make music and have fun," she said. Always good to come out with something different while taking a break from band commitments.

The Charlatans has a new single! Alan McGhee compares it to early Oasis... that is not far off i think. The man who discovered the Gallaghers at a gig in Glasgow, believes that The Charlatans' new single 'Blackened Blue Eyes' is up there with material Oasis were knocking out ten years ago. He said: "It's their best single. It's like a great Oasis song from the mid-nineties." The single will be released on April 3rd.

Dirty Pretty Things have confirmed details of their debut album due out this summer. The band will release 'Waterloo To Anywhere' on May 8 via Vertigo which they recordd in Los Angeles with Dave Sardy. Dirty Pretty Things release their next single 'Bang Bang You're Dead' on April 24th.

Placebo will perform at the MTV Fashionably Loud event this Thursday!!!


Back in October last year, I came across one song during an XFM session by this interesting band called 'The Pipettes'. Was thinking on how they managed to bring back the 60s where everything was merry and happy. So.. 'we are the pipettes' got stuck on me head for days and weeks. For an idea about what they are about, just imagine what Bananarama would be doing if they are in the 60s era. Got the picture? The Pipettes have now returned with a new single "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me" on March 27. It is full of harmonies and melody that gives a feel-good vibe. I find it hard to believe that first time listeners won't get drawn to the Brighton trio. Like what Get Smart used to say - "and...loving it!"

Josh Hartnett has slammed Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton for being bad role models for their fans. The boyfriend of Scarlett Johansson is shocked that his younger brother and sister and their friends look up to the troubled blonde stars - who he accuses of just being interested in making money. He rants, "What scares me with pop culture is looking at my younger brother and sister and their friends, seeing my little sister's friends looking, like, to Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton - I just don't think that's anything to strive for. I don't think those girls are too happy. And it's like, the culture is so focused on a more self-oriented luck-based mentality. It's a herd mentality that I think is really about making money." Well, not everyone can aspire to look like a 'Scarlett' so maybe it's easier to emulate the thin community?

Anyways, it's a fight between Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson... for the role of Lucy Ewing in the Dallas film. Both are keen to bag this role as the film is sure to be a huge hit and no one wants to miss out: "There are people scratching each other's eyes out [for roles]," director Robert Luketic said. Texan girl Jessica might have the edge over New Yorker Lindsay on the accent but Lindsay's got a big supporter - Charlene Tilton who played Lucy in the television series. "They are thinking of casting Lindsay Lohan as Lucy and I'm a fan of hers. I think it is a great choice," she commented recently. Is there anyone else on the list? Jessy ain't no actress & Lindsay will not fit well into that role. They should give the role to someone like Samaire or Kristin Cavallari. At least there won't be worldwide uproar over LL & JS being seen here, there and everywhere.

Jack White fell in love with Johnny Cash's home in Nashville, Tennessee, and came close to buying it, but was too overwhelmed by the thought of living in his idol's former house. The singer recently relocated from his hometown of Detroit, Michigan, to Nashville after falling in love with the city while recording an album with Loretta Lynn in 2003. Jack and his wife Karen Elson looked at Cash's home in nearby Hendersonville and immediately fell in love with the property. After much deliberation, White decided he wouldn't feel comfortable in the music legend's home. He explains, "It would be like living in a museum or something." Let's build a home, then?
