Black Eyed Peas Break Chart Record

The Black Eyed Peas have broken chart records as they enjoy a 17 week run at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart beating former duo/group record holder Boyz II Men (16 weeks). The BEP were number one for twelve weeks with 'Boom Boom Pow' and then 'I Gotta Feeling' has dominated the #1 spot for the past five weeks.

Around the world the Black Eyed Peas are enjoying chart success as they have been #1 in Australia for ten weeks and are currently #1 in Ireland and could be #1 in the UK this Sunday with 'I Gotta Feeling'. The single is at #3 this week but could climb two places and knock off JLS from the top of the UK charts.

PICTURES: Madonna Reveals Scary Arms

Madonna looks bad in these pictures as she was captured on camera showing off her arm muscles, but in all fairness she does workout for 2 hours most days. Even so Madonna's arms do look scary, but I wouldn't want to arm wrestle the 50 year old singer.

Madonna is back in London with her children Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, David Banda, 3, and new addition Mercy, 4, after travelling around Europe with her 'Sticky And Sweet Tour'.

Holly Valance Twitters Naked Picture

Posting a naked picture of yourself via Twitter is a good idea if you happen to have a new record out in the charts. That is exactly what Aussie singer Holly Valance has done as her new single 'Superstar' is released.

The ex-Neighbours star may have been out of the limelight for a few years since her music career went down the pan, but she has always been a bit risqué when it comes to stripping off. Fans will remember how she danced around naked in the video to 'Kiss Kiss' with just lights hiding her lady bits!

Amy Winehouse In Court - But Looking Fab!

Amy Winehouse arrived in court today looking like she is back on top form, as the pictures above and below show. The controversial singer was appearing at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court for some incident or other where she may or may not have hit somebody in the eye.

Who cares? Amy Winehouse is looking wonderful and healthy, that is the best news we've had about Amy in months. It seems the time away from London has done her the world of good. Now let's hope she can be left alone - but judging by the BBC video below, Winehouse doesn't stand much chance. The press and public love to hound her.....................

"Amy, Amy give us a wave!" - check the BBC video below of Amy Winehouse as she enters court in London.

Futurama Cast Axed

The cast of Futurama have been axed from the new series due to air on Comedy Central in mid-2010, after the network and cast were unable to meet the salary demands.

Auditions will be held to replace the voices of John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Billy West, Tress MacNeille and Katey Sagal. Futurama will be coming back with 26 new episodes, having been revived by Comedy Central following the success of the DVDs.

It is believed the Futurama cast wanted substantial wage increases and this is not the first time Matt Groening, who co-created "Futurama" with David X. Cohen have faced such problems with the cast of The Simpsons over the years. Thankfully in that instance the two sides reached an agreement, but casting directors are on hand to replace the Futurama cast if an agreement cannot be reached.

Sarah Platt Set For Coronation Street Return

Tina O'Brien could be back on our screens as Sarah Platt in Coronation Street in an explosive storyline this Christmas. The actress was hugely popular with viewers before quitting the top rated soap back in April 2007, as she sought to pursue a career outside of Coronation Street.

Since leaving Coronation Street, Tina has started a family and turned down other projects to focus on her new born child Scarlett with her Coronation Street co-star Ryan Thomas (Jason Grimshaw).

Sarah Platt left Manchester for a new life in Italy with her daughter Bethany but a return to Coronation Street at the end of the year would certainly be a ratings winner for the ITV soap.

Amy Winehouse To Divorce

Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil will divorce today as their case goes through the High Court in London. The divorce may explain why Amy was in tears a few days ago when she returned to her native London home. The couple have not seen each other for several months as Winehouse has spent all of this year in St Lucia working on her third album.

The controversial singer has been reported as partying in St Lucia instead of working on her album, something that caused her record label bosses fury. Yet the multi-millionaire Winehouse is looking in better shape since leaving London. She married Blake Fielder-Civil in 2007 but the marriage was put under pressure when he was jailed for assault last year. Adultery is likely to be the main reason for the divorce as Blake is having a child with a woman he met in rehab.

Oasis Cheques Will Become Collectors Item

Oasis have just refunded almost £1m to 20,000 fans who took advantage of a refund following the first gig at Manchester's Heaton Park on Thursday June 7, where technical difficulties prompted Noel Gallagher to tell fans it would be a "free gig".

Rather than cancel the gig, Oasis waited for the sound problem to be sorted and then played later than any of the other tour dates to make up for the delays. The trouble is - if you offer someone a refund, they will take it. No wonder Noel called them "cheeky c**ts" a few days later as so many applied for a refund.

The Oasis cheques look set to become a collectors item because they are signed by both Noel and Liam Gallagher with a 'Oasis Bank of Burnage' logo at the top and are already fetching quite a good price on websites like eBay. True fans are more likely to keep the cheque as a piece of memorabilia - something that will please the Gallagher brothers as the thought of paying out almost £1 is not a nice thought.

Godiva Festival 2009

Pint Shot Riot

Coventry's Godiva Festival lived up to expectations and put on a great display both local talent but also some groovy bands from around the country. Best of all the three day festival was FREE, which in the difficult times we live in was impressive. Thanks to the organisers like CVOne, Harry Shaw and other local companies the festival continued for the 90,000 in attendance over the weekend.

The Twang

Initially I was concerned Godiva wouldn't live up to last year, where The Enemy headlined but the rains came down. Yet bands like The Twang and Idlewild kept the good people of Coventry entertained. Coventry's very own Pint Shot Riot rocked the main stage Saturday afternoon with The Twang visibly enjoying being on stage, joking about a trainer thrown during the performance. The main stage wasn't the only place to listen to music, Freefall Collective packed out the Rhythm Tent and were (for me) the best band because it was totally unexpected.

Freefall Collective

I wish I'd gone on the Friday for Go West and the other 80's acts, the Saturday Carnival and the chilled out Sunday. The weather had been perfect this year and the crowds more chilled out. While The Enemy might not have been performing this year, it didn't stop Andy Hopkins from attending the festival to enjoy Godiva like everyone else.
