Gordon in the morning: I Blame Gordon

I imagine that, had things been going to plan, by now I Blame Coco should be able to appear without having a giant sign "Sting's Daughter" hung round her neck.

She's still 'Sting's Daughter' as she does some singing for the other Gordon S.

She shares her insight into - prepare to stifle a yawn - being a woman in music:

"The female music world is very strong at the moment.

"FLORENCE WELCH is brilliant and then you've got Adele and Duffy coming back soon.

"Girl power can work one way or another. It's good for the industry but of course it's competition."

Girl Power? Seriously, Coco?

Who really thinks like that? "I feel like a record sung by a woman - oh, but there's four to choose from; whatever shall I do?"

You've got to worry about anyone whose approach is based on confusing gender with genre.

In other news: Lily Allen has suggested she's going to throw it all, or some of it, in again. I think this is about the fifteenth time this year she's sort-of announced some sort of retirement. Can we just get the bloody clock across to her, please?
