Kate Moss is reportedly set to bring out her line of clothing. She has told friends she intends to start her own fashion range when she eventually gives up her catwalk career. Although Katy is yet to finalise the name of her label, she has already sought legal advice and is close to finalising a deal. A friend of hers told Mail On Sunday newspaper: "Kate loves clothes and lives for fashion. She has no plans to retire yet but she knows her days as a model are numbered. Her daughter Lila Grace is the most important thing to her and she knows she needs to provide for her and sees the fashion range as a good way of doing this." This means more moolah..adding to her huge bank balance. Life's looking good after last year's infamous fiasco.

Get ready for some dirty language from the guy with initials of J.C. Jarvis Cocker has revealed that his solo material contains some explosive lyrics. The singer says that swearing is important to his songs especially on a track that slams world leaders. He said: "There's a lot of swearing in the lyrics. One songs is called 'Cunts Are Still Running The World.' I hate it when people say swearing is the sign of a limited vocabulary. If you use a swear word well, it is big and clever." Cocker also said that the material is different to Pulp: "It sounds different to Pulp but it's bound to be similar because my horrible voice is all over it." Which is loved by millions since the 80s. Can't wait for this new material.

The Zutons dropped by 'Popworld' last Saturday (April 8). They talked about where they've been since their last appearance on the show, touring with U2 and R.E.M., the new video for 'Why Won't You Give Me Your Love', the band romance, tour plans, and more.

Discovered this cool band recently. The song builds up from the drummer's brilliant solo intro and ends up as an atmospheric wall of noise with melodious guitar tunes all around.

Looks like the next G.A single will be...Models!! Been waiting for them to release this ridiculously catchy song ever since I've heard it. During a recent interview, Nadine said that her main ambition is to get the girls' next single, Models, to No.1 when it is released next month. Think it would do quite well; since it shares similar qualities with 'No Good Advice'.

Kylie Minogue looked absolutely radiant sporting a new 'do as she recently sat down for a very special photoshoot by a very special photographer - Olivier Martinez. The pair were vacationing as guests of Dolce and Gabbana in their Portofino, Italy villa. They were photographed together in Portofino on Monday (Apr 10).

The Simpsons movie - writers' interview

Guests at a Sydney after-party for Snoop Dogg were left terrified after hearing gunshots in a local nightclub. Clubbers at Gas, who had waited hours for a glimpse of Snoop Dogg, panicked and hit the floor when shots were heard at around 2.30am - but it turned out the noise came from rocks being thrown at the doors by guests who had been denied entry earlier. Rocks?? Nightclub manager Chris Carroll played down the reports, claiming the rapper had left the venue fifteen minutes before the incident. But a clubber said: "Everyone hit the floor. I heard about six pop, pop noises but thought it was part of the music and then I saw everyone go down - I was terrified." Thus..the life of a rapper.

Which brings me to this very sad news regarding rapper Proof. Eminem & D12 are devastated over his murder. The Detroit Free Press offered additional insight on the life and death of D12 rapper Proof, who was Eminem's best man and served as Slim's hype man on tour. A source close to Eminem said Tuesday that Eminem was devastated, and that the pair had been particularly close over the past few weeks, as Eminem's second marriage to Kim Mathers unraveled. D12 bandmate Denaun Porter, aka Kon Artis, said, "I just don't know how to feel right now. It's crazy because we're suffering all these losses. We lost Bugz. Now we lost Proof. I just don't know, you know what I mean? We're all so messed up. Whatever happened, whoever this dude is, is still around. This is just crazy." RIP Proof. We'll miss ya. :(

Pick Pickler or Kick Pickler? It's incredible that people actually create sites to promote hate on a singer on A.Idol.

Jessica Simpson has confirmed she's had a meeting with producers about playing Lucy Ewing in a Dallas movie. She said: "That would be an honour for me. "I'm a Texas girl, so you can't go wrong there. But you know, however it works out, I'm just going with the flow." Dallas role? Nah. She should just stick to the singing.

Rowan Atkinson has reportedly signed up to appear in another 'Mr Bean' film. Which means those unlucky enough to watch it will have to sit through another hour and half of grunts and terrible slap stick comedy. The new film will follow Bean as he travels to the South of France for a holiday. As he tried to make a video diary of the Cannes Film Festival all havoc breaks loose. Sounds..hilarious, filming on 'Bean II' will kick on next month. Whose great idea is it to bring back this outdated franchise?

Fivesome Take That on the cards? According to The Sun, Robbie Williams will join his former band Take That for a one-off performance on their comeback tour. The group had previously told fans that Williams would not be taking part. An insider said: "Robbie has agreed to appear at one of the Take That gigs in Manchester. They are working out schedules and haven't yet decided which of the dates it will be. But it is a done deal. Everyone involved has been sworn to secrecy. Robbie will be there to sing one number. They are working out all the details now." Now what will that song be? Back For Good?

A digital music identification system that can search through 17 million songs in under 1 second has been launched in the US. MusicIP, announced last week that it had received a US patent for its method of automatically identifying, or "fingerprinting", digital music files. The company already offers software that analyses the music collection on a computer, identifies it, and makes recommendations. But it will now offer its music identification feature for other companies to include in their products. The system can recognise a song from its audio "fingerprint" in a fraction of a second. This allows users to rapidly organise their music collection, discover more about a particular track or get new recommendations, through connected databases, regardless of the format of the audio file.

Matthew Dunn, chief executive of MusicIP, claims his company's fingerprinting technology is the fastest available and uses the largest commercial database - containing 17 million songs. To make a fingerprint, MusicIP quickly scans the first 2 minutes of a track and records frequency data every 185 milliseconds, before compressing the results into a 512 byte file. It also measures records of the four most dominant tones in the first 30 seconds of the music. The program uses information about these dominant tones to narrow the search before searching the song database using the frequency information. Dunn says this allows the company to perform hundreds of searches each second and that the service is sensitive enough to distinguish between different versions of the same tune, such as live and studio recordings.
