Damon Albarn's A Blur On His Bike
Damon Albarn was spotted out and about on his bike in London yesterday, cycling up on the pavement, with a rather girly looking bag slung over a shoulder. Damon played DJ on Radio One earlier this month, taking over for Zane Lowe while he's on holiday, and took the opportunity to play three new Gorillaz songs — "Electric Shock", "Broken" and "Binge". He also played a ten minute extract of Blur's John Peel's Peel Acres session from 1997, and talked about the upcoming Blur reunion he said, "I'm going to have to work hard to get back to that standard."

Claudia and Couples Quaff Champagne
Claudia Schiffer was the hostess with the most-ess in her Christian Dior dress and Louboutin heels at the Dom Pérignon Party at The Landau yesterday. Her face was plastered all over the walls of the swanky restaurant, as the Karl Lagerfeld shots of the supermodel play a key part in the campaign. Celebrity couples — including Billy Zane and Kelly Brook, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Richard Jones, and Nicky Clarke and Kelly Hoppen — were out in force for the launch of the latest Dom Pérignon vintage.

There's nothing like looking up at an endless summer sky, gazing at the stars and hoping for a meteorite to blaze on by.
When I'm taking an evening stroll with my dog, or looking up from my sleeping bag, I always feel a sense of crisp serenity and peace like nothing else.

Confessions of a Reformed Vegetarian
Maybe this post is going to be of no interest to anyone else, but I have to share it anyway.
Throughout my college years, I was a die-hard Blur fan (Damon Albarn of Gorillaz fame's other band) and I am no stranger to bassist Alex James' wacky wits. He's now living the country life in England and has recently published a story on why, after 17 years, he's "given vegetarianism the chop."
Come Party With Me: New Year's Eve - Music
The day of a party is always packed with excitement and millions of last minute details to complete. Once the candles are lit, the drinks on ice, and the party outfit gracefully draping your body, the last thing to do is to turn on the tunes. Music is a vital component to any party and like everything else involving your event (the invitations, the menu, the decorations), you should plan ahead.
Get Ready for The Grammy's
I'm not usually that excited for the Grammy's but all the hype this year has definitely intrigued me. USA Today reports that there are so many performers that they may have to skip the actual awards just to fit it all in. It's basically going to be a concert with lots of combined performances.Grammy's goes 3D
Grammy's goes 3D Madonna will sing with the Gorillaz, who will be appearing in 3-D animated color. So does this mean Madonna gets the stage to herself?Madonna Loves America
People may think that fake British accent of her makes her love England more than her home country but NO WAY. Madonna has chosen to perform at the Grammy's instead of The Brit Awards. Not only will she be the openning act at the Grammy's but it will be a collaboration with the Gorillaz.
