This week just gone

Seven Days on No Rock & Roll Fun:

This week's most-requested pages not motivated by a desire to se see a famous person's penis or breasts:

1. Is KT Tunstall a lesbian, or is there nothing interesting about her at all?
2. Girls Aloud plan their post-split careers
3. Warners staff quits; shares 'I'm off' letter
4. Nine Inch Nails have a hidden secret on their CD
5. Eddie Van Halen comes out of rehab
6. Girls Aloud "not anorexic, just wearing clingy clothes
7. Demented commenters argue that Jo O'Meara's participation in the racist bullying of Shilpa Shetty somehow didn't happen because she's 'not really like that'
8. The Sun claims Victoria Beckham will join Dancing With The Stars midseason
9. RIP: Mark St John of Kiss
10. Aaron Carter and Macaulay Culkin offered career-reviving role in Michael Jackson paedophile trial

Also this week: Jill Jackson what was in Speedway is drinking snake bile for medical reasons; Lily Allen gave up on America, although America insists they dumped her; Tonic in New York closed; Bryan Ferry attempted to clarify his Nazi position - apparently he only admired them when they were pulling the uniforms on, not once they got going; the Average White Band nearly got squashed and Pete Doherty charmed the magistrates again.

You can read the whole week on one page, or
skim the previous week in one post.

Five years ago this week, Jonathan King was complaining from his cell that Britain didn't stand a chance in Eurovision while he was locked up; Craig David was selling his shoes on eBay; Eminem made The Face pulp their entire print run because they'd made his shirt pink to "avoid clashing with the masthead" and EMI won an award for exports. Depsite the music industry dying and all that.
