MmmBop & The Urban Lilith Fair
Shit, Jake Hanson STILL looks like a girl. Paper Magazine goes out on the town with the Hanson blokes. They are about to release a third album, Underneath. Will it even last on Billboard's Top 200?

The concept behind the Beyonce, Missy Elliott & Alicia Keys new tour is an urban style Lillith Fair. "I've always wanted to do a Lilith Fair on the urban side. It's all about the ladies," Beyonce tells Billboard.

Dizzee Rascal ponders on the Nipplegate (link Chart Attack):
"You see the whole thing here, the whole controversy ? I've never really cared about it. I just wanted to know what that was on her, you know? But I don't think that was a smart thing that they did. It's obviously caused a lot of madness. People haven't taken too kindly to it, have they?"
Oh, don't want to forget The Darkness and Oasis Round 2. Justin Hawkins had this to say to Kerrang Magazine: "Noel Gallagher is an overrated guitarist losing his grip on his credibility who just has to fire shots on his way down." Noel, your move.
