Concert cancellations, festivals and heroin

Wow, sad moment for the punk rocker - with flowers in her hair. Frontier touring have released a statement saying that due to “Last minute promotional commitments in the UK ” Sandi Thom has cancelled her Australian tour. Is “last minute promotional commitments in the UK ” the new translation for “because she is a one hit wonder and no body cares, and no tickets were sold”??? Surely these promotional commitments could be rescheduled if this was the true reason…

It has been ages since I have been REALLY excited about a movie – but Pans Labyrinth looks amazing! I can’t wait. Trailer is here:

Pink has announced a 5th show for Melbourne! Keep 'em coming baby!!!

Can anyone explain to me why Pete Doherty is so famous? Is it one of those "Brit" things we don't get here- like Girls Aloud and Busted? I heard the new Babyshambles EP the other day and it is foul. A newspaper on the weekend was comparing him to John Lennon. Why? From my limited knowledge on the guy he has only released two albums (one with Babyshambles and one with The Libertines), neither of which were much. He is in the news every other minute for doing heroine or boning Kate Moss. Is that what being famous and talented is these days? Being a smaky and rooting a model???? Yawn.

The Big Day Out times and stages have been confirmed. Check them out here...

I have to honest and say I am a little dismayed at some of the time-tabling decisions. WHY would Lily Allen not be on a main stage, instead playing in The Boiler Room??? Not to mention the fact that she is on at 2:30! Her sold out side show at The Metro is proofthat this is a mistake!

As much as I enjoy Something for Kate and You Am I - how are they on at 5:15 and 7:00 and Evermore on at 1:30??? Even The Killers copped an early 5:30 time slot...suppose it is hard to please everyone - but some of these decisions seem down right bizarre!

Pop Princess xoxox

R.I.P the relationship of Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake. Get in their Britney!!!! You were awesome when you were with Justin....would he go back there now though? Only time will tell...
