Gordon in the morning: You must be at least this tall to ride

A day off for N-Dubz:

N-DUBZ must be the only grime stars to head off to a theme park during their time out.

Really, Gordon? Wouldn't going to a theme park be a fairly typical thing for someone of their age to do during time off?

Meanwhile, Project Cardigan is go:

MATT CARDLE's record label are bringing out the big guns for his first album.

Two top songwriters are in the frame to work with the X Factor winner.

BIFF STANNARD, who wrote for the SPICE GIRLS and FIVE, and RYAN TEDDER, who has worked with ADELE and LEONA LEWIS, are being lined up as co-writers.

As big guns go, there aren't quite anti-aircraft guns. Stannard does have some nice writing credits - he co-wrote a couple of tracks on the Little Boots debut - but it's been a while since the Spice Girls highlights; Ryan Tedder did write Bleeding Love, but also filed songs for Shayne Ward and Chris Cornell's solo career. In other words, both men have writer's credits which suggests an ability to deliver by the yard. You can be sure there will be songs; there's a question over how artisan built they might be.
