NELSON HELPS THE FARMERS; SPEARS CONSIDERS UNTIDY BACKYARD

In the same way that Michael Jackson's first response to a natural disaster is 'how can this help my image', Willie Nelson's starting point is to think about the farmers; he's now activated the Family Farm Disaster Fund to help family farms battered by Katrina.

Meanwhile, Jamie Lynn Spears claims she's going to head down to LA and volunteer for the Red Cross. With a bunch of her friends. We're not sure how she plans to help - her talents would suggest her gang might only be called upon if FEMA are arranging a performance of The Swish of The Curtain in Jefferson County - but it's the thought that counts.

But she knows how it feels to suffer loss in this storm:

"It's pretty bad down there... It's not as bad where I live, but our yard is a total mess. It was pretty scary."

In news which will make your head hurt slightly less, it has been confirmed that Alex Chilton is fine and well.

no offense but why bother giving Jamie-Lynn Spears any coverage? its not like she's actually a pop star herself, and acknowledging her pr machine plays to the nonsense machine.

Ah, but she's included on the same grounds as we cover Dannii Minogue, Ashley Simpson and Liam Gallagher - they might not musicians themselves, but they're related to people who sort-of-are.
