This week just gone

Seven days from No Rock and Roll Fun

The ten most-read stories on the site were:

1. Dannii Minogue's stripper and the naked CCTV video
2. R Kelly's sex video for court
3. Lily Allen changes her knickers
4. Beth Ditto strips for the NME
5. DMX in dog cruelty trouble - again
6. McFly get naked and dance around
7. Is KT Tunstall straight or what?
8. Here, kids - Uncle Akon hands out free dildo tickets
9. Darren Hayes detained following allegations of racial assault
10. Lily Allen thrown off-stage at Notting Hill

Also this week: Amy Winehouse goes from bad to even more dismal; Andy Kershaw was arrested; Bobby Brown and Kevin Federline both tried to redraft their divorces in their own favour; Supergrass suffered a terrible accident; Keith Richards complained about a bad review and - if you believe Courtney Love - Steve Coogan nearly killed Owen Wilson.

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

Five years ago:
The Foo Fighters turned out to be supporting the belief that HIV and AIDS were unrelated; Steve Burns, the US host of Blue's Clues, turned out to be an indie-singer; Busted somehow got away with a single about teachers having sex with schoolchildren; The Levellers used crop circles to promote their new record; Kerry Katona revealed that she quit Atomic Kitten because she'd never want to go to Japan again; Paul Weller moaned about being "used" by Red Wedge and, shamefully, used implied homosexuality as an insult; Chris Tarrant stepping down at Capital led to a rush for the breakfast show and a ten percent fall in the share price; Graham Coxon was sort-of-still-in-Blur


This was a slow week for releases, what with the bank holiday and all:
