	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Another driver has backed up a claim that&nbsp;<a href="/pg/newsdesk/georgemichael" target="_blank">George Michael</a> fell out of a moving car onto a motorway.</p>
<p>As <a href="/pg/newsdesk/georgemichael/view/76412/" target="_blank">previously reported</a>, the iconic singer was taken to hospital recently for cuts and bruises following a crash on the M1.</p>
<p>An eyewitness <a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/76313/" target="_blank">previously came forward to say that she saw the singer lying on the motorway, adding that she was later told he fell out of the car at 70mph after trying to close a door</a>.</p>
<p>Speaking to The Sun, another driver called Ben Quince said that he saw himself the singer fall out of a car, which he was the passenger of. The eyewitness said:</p>
<p>"I suddenly saw the back door on the driver's side open.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4;">A body appeared and went bounce, bounce, bounce. He was spinning as he came towards me."</span></p>
<p>Quince continued: "I had to swerve left. I could have killed him.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4;">In my mirror I saw trucks and cars swerving to avoid him."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4;">&nbsp;</span></p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/Rihanna/newsdesk/">Tickets for crooner Rod Stewart's </a>forthcoming UK tour are selling twice as fast as those of Rihanna, it has been confirmed.</p>
<p>Viagogo revealed that after <a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/76176/">Stewart's new album, entitled 'Time', went to No.1 over the weekend</a> he experienced a 278% surge in ticket sales for his upcoming run of dates. <a href="/pg/newsdesk/Rihanna/newsdesk/">Rihanna</a>, meanwhile, isn't doing as well statistically as he is outselling her 2:1.</p>
<p>A spokesperson for the ticketing company, Steve Roest, explained: "Music legends like Rod Stewart will always generate high ticket demand and his upcoming tour is no different. It seems his recent album release has reminded fans that he&rsquo;s still got it, as we&rsquo;ve noticed a sudden rush for tickets to see him perform around the UK in June."</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rodstewart.com/events/">His 'Live the Life' tour</a> will kick off on June 1 at Nottingham's Capital FM Arena and will take him around the country from London to Birmingham, before it comes to a close on June 29 with a performance in Dublin at the RDS Arena.</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Socialite and singer Paris Hilton has been signed to Lil Wayne's Cash Money Records and revealed that her next move will be to work on an album full of 'house music'.</p>
<p>Speaking to Showbiz 411, the heiress explained: "This is a lot different than my first album. It's really going to be house music." While Cash Money reps have confirmed the surprising news, a spokesperson for Hilton told MTV:</p>
<p>"Paris Hilton is in talks with a number of record labels right now but we can't confirm anything. When a deal is finalized we will make an official announcement."</p>
<p>Cash Money's other artists include rappers Nicki Minaj and Drake, although they're signed to Young Money Entertainment, which is a&nbsp;subsidiary of the label.</p>
<p>Hilton is no stranger to the YMCMB crew as last year she released a track with Weezy named 'Last Night' and he was also at her birthday event earlier this year in Los Angeles. She launched her music career back in 2006 with a self-titled debut album and lead single called 'Stars Are Blind'.</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Comedian Harry Hill has opened up about the forthcoming stage production that will poke fun at<a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/76121/"> Simon Cowell's</a> reality television talent show, 'The X Factor'.</p>
<p>He has signed up to take part in the musical, which will be titled 'I Can't Sing', and told London's Evening Standard newspaper that <a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/73588/">Cowell is excited about the project</a>:</p>
<p>"We&rsquo;d been umm-ing and ahh-ing about the title for a while, then it hit us &mdash; there&rsquo;s never been a musical called 'I Can&rsquo;t Sing'! We think it&rsquo;s also the only musical for a while with a singing hunchback, a talking dog and a man on an iron lung, but we&rsquo;d have to Google that to be sure. We&rsquo;re pretty certain that you won&rsquo;t have seen anything like it before and it&rsquo;s great that Simon is backing it 4,500 per cent.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The show is being financed by Stage Entertainment and Cowell&rsquo;s Syco Entertainment company, and tickets for it will go on sale tomorrow (May 23) before it hits the stage next March (2014). While Cowell is yet to comment on the musical, he recently described part of it as the &ldquo;funniest thing I&rsquo;ve ever seen".</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/36360/">'MMMBop' trio Hanson</a> have opened up about their forthcoming new album 'Anthem', which will be their sixth full-length offering.</p>
<p>The brothers are due to release the cut on June 18 and explained to Billboard.com that when writing the songs, they thought about how their fans will react to them when they hear them performed live:</p>
<p>"It's got a lot of big sounding songs. We really thought of the audience when we did them &ndash; we imagined the interaction with the crowd."</p>
<p>The oldest member, Isaac, added that the styles of music that feature on the record are diverse: "We also had some friends doing strings. The album is hopefully anthemic."</p>
<p>Hanson released the album's lead single, 'Get The Girl Back', on April 9 and the music video has now been released.</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Daft Punk star: 'Someone once ran up a huge bar tab pretending to be me']]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Thomas Bangalter, <a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/76485/">one half of French electro-duo Daft Punk</a>, has revealed that someone once ran up a very expensive bar tab using his name because he wears a robot helmet for his music career so can go unnoticed.</p>
<p>During an interview with the Rolling Stone, the 'Get Lucky' hitmaker admitted it was rather entertaining to hear that a member of public had the guts to do such a thing:</p>
<p>"One thing I like about the masks is that I don't have people constantly coming up to me and reminding me what I do. It's nice to be able to forget, but there are occasional downsides. Several years ago in Ibiza some guy ran up exorbitant bar tabs at clubs while claiming to be me."</p>
<p>In the same interview,<a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/76477/"> the pair also discussed their sci-fi anonymity </a>and confessed that they went with the robot heads because "robots are exciting to people":</p>
<p>"We're interested in the line between fiction and reality, creating these fictional personas that exist in real life.&nbsp;Kraftwerk and Ziggy Stardust and Kiss; people thought the helmets were marketing or something, but for us it was sci-fi glam. We're not performers, we're not models &ndash; it would not be enjoyable for humanity to see our features, but the robots are exciting to people."</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Geri Halliwell on 'Viva Forever!' closing: 'It's not a s**t musical']]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Pop star Geri Halliwell has opened up about her <a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/74705/">disappointment at the forthcoming end of the Spice Girls musical, 'Viva Forever!'</a>.</p>
<p><a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/74705/">The production only launched back in December last year</a>, but ticket sales haven't been as promising as initially hoped so the show will come to a close on June 29 with one final performance.</p>
<p>Writing on her official blog today (May 22), the 'Wannabe' hitmaker explained that she doesn't understand why the musical wasn't as popular as predicted because she thinks it is fantastic: "Over 4 years ago it started with a conversation in a Kitchen; Laughing&hellip; Joking&hellip; full of promise, dreams &amp; optimism."</p>
<p>"We managed to get one of&nbsp;the most successful&nbsp;Theatre producers to do our show! A great writer, our Spice music&hellip; I felt confident - almost cocky it was going to be a huge success."</p>
<p>Questioning the production, she continued: "What went wrong? Was I biased? Blinded because it was a show with our music? Was it the lighting? The set? The choreography? The press? The story? It had a bumpy start but the cast and director worked really hard, made great changes, and I can hand on heart tell&nbsp;it's not s**t! - It&rsquo;s good entertainment!"</p>
<p>Halliwell added that she is now <a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/74346/">heading down under to be a judge on 'Australia's Got Talent' </a>and thanked everyone who participated in 'Viva Forever!' for such an amazing experience: "I don&rsquo;t&nbsp;regret it. I got to meet and work with the fabulous Judy Craymer, the producer whom I hope to be a friend for life."</p>
<p>"So this is to say thank you to all the people who tried for the Spice Girls, who&nbsp;had the guts to put their heart and soul into Viva. Even if something doesn't work, I admire anyone who tries, because a lot of people are afraid to. Thanks to all the cast of Viva, the musicians, Judy, Jennifer, the Spices and to all the fans and theatre-goers who came."</p>

	  <description><![CDATA[<p>'Random Access Memories', the new album from<a href="/pg/newsdesk/londonnewsdesk/view/76477/?isworld=y"> French electro-duo Daft Punk</a>, is the midweek No.1 in today's chart update and it is also on course to be the fastest selling album of the year so far.</p>
<p>The record shifted an incredible 104,000 copies as of midnight last night (May 21) in the UK and during its first 48 hours of being made available became the third fastest selling album of 2013.</p>
<p>Justin Timberlake's 'The 20/20 Experience' (which is at No.32 this afternoon) currently holds the record, but Daft Punk are only 1,000 copies behind so the record could soon be theirs.</p>
<p>There are 4 other new entries in the Top 10 this week and at No.3 is The National with 'Trouble Will Find Me', Thirty Seconds To Mars are at 4 with 'Love Lust Faith + Dreams', and Texas have made an appearance at No.5 with 'The Conversation'. Demi Lovato's new offering, 'Demi', has entered the albums chart at 6.</p>
<p>Jamie Cullum has debuted with his new record 'Momentum' at No.12, Paramore's self-titled new cut has dropped 10 spots to No.40, and Daft Punk's 'Discovery' has climbed 1 position to sit at No.28 after 84 weeks on the chart.</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Daft Punk on helmets: "It's sci-fi glam"]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Daft Punk have denied their use of helmets is a "marketing" ploy.</p>
<p>The French dance duo regularly wear robot style helmets when live or in photoshoots.</p>
<p>Speaking to Rolling Stone,&nbsp;Thomas Bangalter said that the group wants to blur the boundaries between real life and fantasy by wearing the helmets. He said:</p>
<p>"We're interested in the line between fiction and reality, creating these fictional personas that exist in real life.&nbsp;Kraftwerk and Ziggy Stardust and Kiss; people thought the helmets were marketing or something, but for us it was sci-fi glam."</p>
<p>Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo added: "We're not performers, we're not models &ndash; it would not be enjoyable for humanity to see our features, but the robots are exciting to people."</p>
<p>Daft Punk released their fourth studio album 'Random Access Memories' in the UK on Monday (May 20) and it is expected to be a huge success in the charts.</p>

	  <title><![CDATA[Parent Television Council slam Ke$ha for drinking her own urine]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>The&nbsp;Parent Television Council have criticised <a href="/pg/newsdesk/kesha" target="_blank">Ke$ha</a>&nbsp;for drinking her own pee on TV.</p>
<p>They say the singer promoted "disgusting, vile content" on her&nbsp;Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life show on MTV earlier this year.</p>
<p>In a letter, the group - who monitor TV output in the US - said that there should be more choice in what channels are received so that viewers can avoid programmes like Ke$ha's show. They said:</p>
<p>"Why should we have to pay for this kind of garbage just so we can get access to Discovery, Disney, or the Golf channel? It's outrageous - and it shouldn't be that way.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4;">Consumers deserve choice. We should all have the ability to choose and pay for only the channels we want to watch...but the cable industry won't let that happen without a fight."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4;">Ke$ha meanwhile <a href="/pg/newsdesk/kesha/view/73744/" target="_blank">previously admitted that she wouldn't drink her own pee again</a>, saying:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4;">"I'm also just one that doesn't shy away from things. I'm not good at saying 'no' so I just figure, f*ck it, I'll try anything once. So I tried it. I wouldn't recommend it. It was pretty gross. And I don't think it really did anything very beneficial to me so, yeah, I wouldn't probably do it again."</span></p>
