Last night at a town theater in Figline Valdarno, Italy, the rock star opened up about his 300-hectare Tuscan estate, which includes a 100 percent organic farm.

Sting And The Police Bow Out In Style
Sting was keen to prove he's still got it as he stripped off his top at The Police's gig at New York's Madison Square Garden last night, thought to have been their farewell show. Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers and Sting's performance was the final concert of the band's 150 date reunion tour, which lasted 14 months. The trio donned some appropriate head gear as they were joined onstage by the New York City Police band, before Sting lay back in a barber's chair while two women shaved off his beard, with his new image beamed over the big screen.
Jump For Joy: Sugababes And The Sex Pistols At IoW Festival
A stellar lineup including The Sex Pistols, The Police, Sugababes, Scouting For Girls, The Enemy, Iggy Pop and so many more entertained an audience of celebs and regular folk at the Isle Of Wight Festival this weekend. Those who travelled over to listen to some music included Gavin And Stacey's Mathew Horne who looked super-cool in his Ray Bans, Nicole Appleton and Melanie Blatt, and Emma Griffiths.
Her man Matt Willis was supposed to be presenting coverage for ITV, but is in rehab at the moment – which probably accounts for her moment of sadness among the smiles.

I spit out my drink in laughter when I read that an MTV reporter asked Mark Wahlberg about the possibility of reuniting with the Funky Bunch during an interview to promote The Happening. Even more astonishing than the question itself was that Wahlberg was a good sport and answered with, "Part of me would love to run around and act like a freaking a–hole again but I can’t do that." It would be hilarious if he'd reunite with those guys, though.
Cute Alert: Kid Band Sings the Police's Message in a Bottle
I was going to find you some videos of hipster kids from Brooklyn, New York performing in their awesomely named bands, Toxic Muffin, Care Bears on Fire, and The Tiny Masters of Today. But after seeing them display premature (and studied) cynicism and cooler-than-thou attitudes, I decided on these kids workin' their way through "Message in a Bottle." Sorry, but they're way cuter!What's Your Favorite Song by The Police?
