Still awake from the go-go? It seems like 2007 has been the year for '80s bands to reunite. George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley are going to reform Wham!. This pop duo are reportedly planning to fly out to the U.S. this summer to start recording tracks for a new album, with the possibility of a tour later. George actually asked Andrew to join him on stage at his solo show at Wembley Arena last December but Andrew chickened out at the last minute because he was too nervous. Do these guys think they're in the class of Rolling Stones in terms of longevity status?

Another bandwagon follower? Jessica Simpson recently said she wants to adopt before she has her own biological kids. Mayer's current squeeze wants to have a big family but fears she may not be able to cope with childbirth more than once. On Star mag she said, "I want to adopt before I actually have my own kids. I want three kids - but I don't know if I can give birth three times. I'll have to see how much pain is involved first time round!" And yes, Jessy has been inspired to adopt by Uglylina's antics. "Save the world." is also on the singer's agenda. She said, "Ever since I was a kid I said I wanted to save the world somehow, I didn't know how. Maybe I'll end up doing things that can touch somebody in some way that's good - like through orphanages." Talk is of course cheap.

Nicole Richie looks set to face a criminal charge for driving under the influence (DUI). The Californian Highway Patrol handed over her case to the L.A District Attorney's office on Wed.

She was charged on Dec 11 after being arrested for driving the wrong way along a Californian freeway.
