Meighan, who learnt of Winehouse's death through a phone call from his bandmate, Serge Pizzorno, said that he had been "really shocked” by the news.

Speaking to Music Week, he said, "I was really shocked. My body went cold. Before 'Back To Black' came out we had a sing song around hers… it was great, lovely memories. I was singing one of my songs and then she just sang and I was like, 'Wow what a lovely voice!"

He continued, "I am just so sorry. I had a tear, a little tear. I was in shock. My body went cold. I sent over some flowers today to her shrine from Kasabian – where all those people are putting all flowers – a big bunch of flowers from us. I think that’s respectful. She was lovely, wasn’t she?"

Winehouse was cremated on Tuesday (July 26) at a private funeral. She was found dead in her Camden home last Saturday on July 23, at the age of 27.

The 'Country Strong' star who has two children with Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin, wrote on Twitter:

"Who do I have to bang to get an advance copy of the new coldplayalbum? I mean, really."

Martin, who married Paltrow in 2003, has hinted that the album's title will "begin with an 'M'" and have "two words". Coldplay's fifth studio album was initially pencilled in for release in December 2010.

It had been rumoured as far back as March that the Jonas Brothers star was being considered.

"This just in... I will be performing at the @BritneySpears concert in NJ on Aug 5. and get ready for #FastLife in stores Oct. 11," Joe announced the news on Friday, July 29 on his Twitter. The gig is set to take place at Izod Center in East Rutherford. 

He has been spending these past few weeks doing promotions for his upcoming studio album 'Fastlife', and being booked as Britney's supporting act will serve him quite well. He recently pushed back U.S. release of the album from September 6 to October 11. 

Watch a recent interview with the star at Kiss FM's Wango Tango here:

He explained to fan site True To You:

"The recent killings in Norway were horrific. As usual in such cases, the media give the killer exactly what he wants - worldwide fame. We aren't told the names of the people who were killed - almost as if they are not considered to be important enough, yet the media frenzy to turn the killer into a Jack The Ripper star is... repulsive. He should be un-named, not photographed, and quietly led away."

He then spoke directly about his comments on stage in Warsaw and added:

"The comment I made on stage at Warsaw could be further explained this way - Millions of beings are routinely murdered every single day in order to fund profits for McDonalds and KFCruelty, but because these murders are protected by laws, we are asked to feel indifferent about the killings, and to not even dare question them."

"If you quite rightly feel horrified at the Norway killings, then it surely naturally follows that you feel horror at the murder of ANY innocent being. You cannot ignore animal suffering simply because animals 'are not us'."

The 18-year-old singer treated her fans to clips from songs such as 'With Your Love', which also features Mike Posner, 'Superhero', 'Over The Moon', 'Grow Up', which is a collaboration with rapper Busta Rhymes, and 'Dub on the Track'. 

Lloyd explained that she didn't pair up with Rhymes in the studio to record 'Grow Up', "but he got played the track and really liked it and being Busta it didn't take him long to just jump on it" so sent his parts over.

Speaking to Digital Spy, she explained that a new album is in the works although it's not likely to be unveiled until next year so she has decided to treat fans to something smaller:

"I've decided to - later on this year, soon - to release a small EP with some songs that I've been doing and for you guys to hear."

"That'll happen pretty soon. No date's set in stone, but that will happen this year, and I really, really can't wait for you to hear it."

Talking more specifically about her forthcoming full-length record, Vickers added "I've got so many songs, more than 30 now, and not all of them can make the album. I wanted to pick some of my favourite ones and show you."

"I know you're all so excited as much as I am to get it out there and it seems a long wait so to break it up I'm going to give you some special tracks."

Jessie tweeted back, "Yes!!!! Letsss goooo!!!" and posted a link to the new offering which boasts Dr. Luke's distinct pop sound and the singer's powerful vocals that seem slightly layered yet very melodic.

The 'Bounce' hitmaker wrote to his fans on Twitter this morning to explain that he will be in attendance at all of the upcoming dates, including those in the UK, and said:

"Ahhh so u found out i'm supporting Rihanna at the end of the year! I'm excited! We did Australia at the start of this year, was great fun! I am DJing before Rihanna on European leg of the tour. My job is to get u uncontrollably excited for the main event!! + many flashing lights"

Speaking on popular U.S chat show The View, the 29-year-old 'Run The World (Girls)' hitmaker admitted that she was on the verge of burning herself out so decided to take a break from her high-octane and high-pressure career. 

"It was beginning to get fuzzy, I couldn't even tell which day or which city I was at."

"I would sit there at award shows and they would give me an award and I was just thinking about the next performance. I never really thought about how fortunate I was - it was onto the next project and the next day."

The most enjoyable part, she enthused, was watching her husband perform live as a fan in the audience:

"I got the chance to see the (Jay-Z) shows in the audience, which I had never been able to do, so I was really inspired. I've always been a Jay-Z groupie."

Watch her recent performance of 'End of Time' below:

The ceremony was held Hollywood's W hotel last month and was filmed for an episode of the popular reality TV series, 'Ice Loves Coco', and the 'Gin and Juice' superstar spoke about his admiration for their real relationship in a city where things have a reputation for being staged: 

"I'm so happy that you're doing your thing in a real big way, especially in the city of L.A., I love you, Ice-T and Coco - I'm a fan and a friend."

51-year-old Ice T also told the guests about the moment he realised he was in love with his 32-year-old wife, Coco, and said "the curtain drops, the crowd gives us great applause, cameras were going off and we were feeling the love right there."

Watch footage from Ice T's wedding vow renewal ceremony below:

The 'Umbrella' superstar told Glamour magazine that she's proud to be flying the female flag this year and to be perpetuating the healthy "competitive" spirit that's prominent in the industry at the moment:

"There's a pack. It's me, (Lady) Gaga, Katy Perry, Beyonce... who else? Ke$ha for sure."

"Women are definitely dominating music right now, and that's because we are competitive beings. I feel like music hasn't been this exciting in a while."

She also spoke particularly highly of best friend Katy Perry and modern pop icon Lady Gaga, adding, "All my friends are guys, to be completely honest. But when I met her, it was such a breath of fresh air."

"I just couldn't believe this chick had no edit button... Katy and Lady Gaga came out of the gate exactly the way they think, the way they wanna dress, the way they wanna speak."

Lil Wayne, meanwhile, is excited to perform to the crowd as the event coincides with the long-awaited release of his 'Tha Carter IV' album and said, "Being a nominee and performer on the VMAs once again is an honour because everyone doesn't get that opportunity."

"[I'm] looking forward to performing on the show and having [new album] Tha Carter IV drop the same week."
