This week just gone

Seven day's worth of No Rock & Roll Fun.

Top ten individual stories, including only stuff from 2007:

1. Kerry Katona's sex tape doesn't feature her, suddenly becomes worth searching for
2. RIP: Buck Jones
3. Britney Spears lesbian sex video rumours
4. Sarah Ferguson offers support for Jo O'Meara
5. Jo O'Meara: I need no support, for I am not a racist bully
6. Britney Spears settles with K-Fed - divorce, peace in our time?
7. Mariah Carey's Playboy cover - how desperate for attention?
8. Dallas Austin slags Joss Stone
9. SXSW line-up
10. Babyshambles announce stadium tour

Also this week: Lily Allen insisted she had nothing in common with any Americans; then she sobered up and tried to salvage her US career; Huey from the Fun Lovin' Criminals turned up on a programme about training dogs; the new rates for US internet radio royalties were defended by the organisation which collects them (and, of course, keeps a percentage); and we learned the sad news of the death of Ernie Woo.

You can read the entire week on one page;
or skim the week before in one post.

Five years ago, NME reported that EMI was allowing Jagger and McCartney to carry on solely because of their back catalogue; Paul quit S Club 7 to join a nu-metal band - up until Jo went into Big Brother, the worst career decision any of them had made; Liam Gallagher pledged he'd not set foot in the MetBar again after an argument with Mis-Teeq and Tony Wilson was upset London Underground wouldn't let him be called a twat.

These are unaffected by changes in Gordon Brown's budget:
