Jackson Five 'could tour in 2008' The band's hits include ABC and I Want You Back The Jackson Five are to reunite for a tour, with Michael Jackson set to take part, brother Jermaine has said. He told BBC 6 Music that concert dates have been discussed and could take place "sometime in 2008". "Michael will be involved," the singer and guitarist confirmed.

Marilyn Manson 'squandered band's cash buying skeletons and masks made from human skin' Last updated at 01:05am on 24th November 2007 Comments American singer-songwriter Marilyn Manson squandered his band's profits on skeletons - including one of a girl - according to his former keyboard player. Stephen "Pogo" Bier - who played for Manson as Madonna Wayne Gacy - says the 38-year-old also bought African masks made of human skin. Bier filed a breach of contract lawsuit in August in which he accused Manson of taking cash belonging to the rest of the band to pay for "sick and disturbing purchases of Nazi memorabilia and taxidermy (including the skeleton of a…

Is the end in sight for Girls Aloud? By REBECCA HARDY - More by this author » Last updated at 00:02am on 23rd November 2007 Comments (15) Girls Aloud are weary; not just a bit worn out but shattered - or "knackered" in Girls Aloud speak. "I'm really run down. I'm not feeling well," whispers Nicola. "We had to get up at 5.30am to do an acoustic session," groans Nadine. Kimberley Walsh joins in: "We didn't finish until 12.30, last night." "The industry is so fickle," sighs Cheryl, apropos of nothing. Scroll down for more... "Everything you do is so fickle.

Hey all, I'm looking for the name of a solo singer, used to listen to him a couple of years ago. I'm pretty sure he only had 1 CD and I think he killed himself by jumping from the balcony of his hotel (I'm not 100% sure about this). If I remember correctly I also learned about his death here but I couldn't find the thread. Another thing I do remember about this singer is that in one of his clips he was driving in car and it was raining outside and that's pretty much all that happened in the clip. Sounded very mellow. Thanks to anyone who can help

Oh Barry! Singer Manilow takes a drag on an unusual-looking cigarette Last updated at 14:30pm on 20th November 2007 Comments (1) Singer Barry Manilow appears to be rebelling in his mature years. While onstage at the Las Vegas Hilton, he was seen having a crafty drag on a distinctly homemade cigarette in between songs. At his show Barry Manilow Music and Passion, the 64-year-old housewives favourite raised eyebrows with his decidedly out of character behaviour. The 'Mandy' singer was seen pulling on a rolled-up cigarette, which seems at odds with his health-obsessed, perma-tanned, look. Scroll down for more... Maybe Barry's been influenced by …

Leona sets the record for fastest-selling debut album Last updated at 19:00pm on 18th November 2007 Comments (5) Leona Lewis has set a UK record for the fastest-selling debut album.

A few simple rules: 1 - Ignore the music, in this case the contains of the CD don't count, just the album art 2 - When you put an album up, make sure you include a link to the picture or even better post the picture 4 - Hey where did rule 3 go? 5 - Did I say anything about counting just the artwork and not the music, so even if the CD itself is the best CD in the world ever, but has really bad artwork, post it. It's all for a laugh 3 - Here's Rule 3 now 6 - If you couldn't tell I'm a bit high at the moment :laugh3: So who wants to start the ball rolling?

Once again, we present Rock-Critically Correct, a feature in which the most recent issues of Rolling Stone, Blender, Vibe and Spin are given a once-over by an anonymous writer who's contributed to several of those titles--or maybe even all of them! After the jump, he looks across the pond to the latest issue of list-happy Brit rag Q: Your boy has to admit that several commenters on his last installment were more or less correct: his analysis of XXL was not terribly good. He also recalls that another commenter a while back suggested that have a look at a British rock mag. So this week, he'd like shoot the shit about a magazine that he bought every month for over a decad…

No ebony, just ivory: Jacko appears whiter than white on magazine cover Last updated at 16:06pm on 6th November 2007 Comments He once famously sang 'It don't matter if you're black or white' but clearly it does to Michael Jackson who appeared on the cover of a US magazine for black Americans - looking whiter than ever. The troubled singer unveiled his startlingly pale new look on the cover of Ebony magazine in a heavily airbrushed photograph. Scroll down for more...

In recent years, the show has been presented by Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, P Diddy and Snoop Dogg, and has featured iconic performances from Madonna, The Spice Girls, Jennifer Lopez, Eminem, Britney Spears and Oasis. MTV senior vice president and the show’s executive producer Richard Godfrey said: "It is only natural that Liverpool should host the 15th annual Europe Music Awards.
