Entertainment Gossip

Just a general post highlighting the main news and gossip in the entertainment world that has interested me this week.

Since it became apparent that pierce Brosnan was not going to continue as James Bond, there has been a lot of speculation as to his successor. According to reports Ewan MacGregor is now a hotly tipped favourite.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Band Aid single Do they know it's Christmas?, and a third version is to be recorded, this time to alleviate famine and poverty in the Darfur region of Sudan. Bono is to reprise his famous line: "And tonight thank God it's them, instead of you", plus contemporary artists like Dido and Robbie Williams. Paul McCartney has been asked to play bass as well. The main difference this year, is that instead of a load of artists turning up to a recording studio one Sunday casually dressed, artists, like Robbie, who are abroad are recording the whole song and sending the recording to the producer for him to take the line he wants. Doesn't sound as much fun as the recording of the first single looked, which ultimately turned out to be a bit of a phenomenon ands paved the way for charity records to become a semi-regular fixture in the charts during television appeals, for Christmas and any other cause.

X-Factor's Verity is looking for love.

Kylie is to play at next year's Glastonbury festival.
