The Enemy in the studio


Oasis have announced that Coventry band The Enemy and Kasabian will be supporting them on their newly announced stadium tour for June/July 2009. "We always said when we were doing the big super gigs again we would give Kasabian first option, said Noel.

"As for The Enemy I've liked them since their first ever single. So with the three bands on one night if I was 16 or 17 I'd be here."

"To be honest I'm actually really made up with the bill and when you see it in front of you, you just think, 'What a night out!'. I'm just glad I'll be able to get tickets."

The Enemy have been busy in the studio recording their eagerly awaited follow up album, which is due for release in April 2009. They took time out to give their reaction to the news, Tom Clarke warned fans to, "Prepare yourselves for the greatest Rock and Roll show in the world."

Drummer, Liam Watts confessed the tour was, "Something I've always wanted to happen has just become a reality, Buzzing!!" and Bassist Andy Hopkins declared, "This is gonna be f**king amazing - what a line up, cant wait".

The Enemy will be touring the UK in March and April and then join Oasis for their stadium tour on:

June 6/7 -Manchester Heaton Park
June 10 - Sunderland Stadium of Light
June 12 - Cardiff Millennium Stadium
June 17 - Edinburgh Murrayfield Stadium
June 20 - Slane Castle

Madonna Divorce Cartoon



Madonna and Guy Richie's divorce has made all the headlines across the world this week as much has been written about the couple. Rather than add further opinion on the subject, the cartoon published in the Daily Mail by mac adds some much needed light humour on the subject.

The cartoonist has often produced some funny but apt pictures during moments of conflict and his illustrations are well worth buying if you happen to be looking for Christmas present ideas.

Leona Lewis took a stand for her vegetarian principles and turned down a reported £1m ($1.7m) to open the Harrod's summer sale. The chart topping singer has been a vegetarian since the age of twelve and said she is,"totally against animal cruelty. I don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from any animal products."

The London department store was opened instead by Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall as Leona refused because the department store sells fur. According to the Daily Mail, Leona is reportedly in talks with Bhs boss Sir Philip Green about creating a range of non leather bags and shoes for Topshop.

The X Factor singer was also recently voted Sexiest Vegetarian and continues to enjoy success both in America and the UK.

Girls Aloud: Nicola Roberts Birthday Pictures

Nicola Roberts on her 23rd birthday
Girls Aloud singer, Nicola Roberts enjoyed her 23rd birthday this weekend at London's Wellington Club with friends but with the press close at hand, it was never going to be a private affair. Looking hot and glamorous at the start of the night, it didn't take too many drinks for the press to capture some not so glamorous pictures.

Pictures of Nicola Roberts leaving the club worse for wear have appeared online and reveal more than normal. The singer's nipple can clearly be seen in one of the pictures, and leaves you wondering how far is too far? Is this an invasion of privacy, how would you feel if it were you being splashed across the media?

No wonder Sarah Harding have the "V" sign to the press as she climbed into the car at the end of the evening celebrations, as she showed her anger at the press intrusion. Let's just hope it didn't spoil Nicola's birthday!

Mel C Shows Baby Bump On Al Murray Show

Mel C showed off her 'baby bump' during an interview on ITV's 'Al Murray's Happy Hour' tonight (Friday 3rd October). Melanie is the last Spice Girl to become a mother, but has no regrets about waiting until she was 34 years old.

Taking about the other Spice Girls motherhood, she said, " they're all mums and they're all really good mums actually." When asked if the baby is a boy or a girl, Melanie C told Al Murray, "I don't know and I don't want to know."


Mel C also spoke about the Spice Girls reunion and said that initially she didn't want to do it but "now I've done it - it was amazing and I'm really glad I did." Claims about how much the Spice Girls made from their reunion tour were exaggerated, "it wasn't what they said in the papers, by a long stretch."


Melanie C will be performing an acoustic gig at Manchester's Hard Rock Cafe on Thursday 9th October to help raise money for breast cancer research. The full Al Murray interview will be shown on ITV at 10pm tonight.
