UB40 'bored' of Red Red Wine song
Reggae act UB40 have admitted they hate rehearsing their 1983 number one hit Red Red Wine. Guitarist Robin Campbell said he and his bandmates - who are preparing for a tour of the UK - cannot bring themselves to practise the song. "We hate rehearsing Red Red Wine, we're bored to tears of it," he said.

Raggae in general is a bit rubbish really isn't it. It's just weak songs with an oompity boompity backing beat behind them.

Since there's only thirty-seven people in Australia, I think it's done almost suspiciously well!

Dolly would walk it. Her philosophy as depicted in the song "Better Get To Livin'" - basically, stop feeling sorry for yourself and sort your life out - would go down a storm in the middle East.

"How Clean Is Your Wife?"- although most men would probably say the dirtier the better...

Oh my God, she's at it again:
Two helpers to lower her on to the sofa and her own personal toilet roll: Mariah Carey's diva-style behaviour on GMTV is revealed by Kate Garraway
Fashionably late Mariah Carey keeps fans waiting an hour
The singer had already had some requests denied due to health and safety, including her desire to be surrounded by 100 white doves and 20 white kittens

I did once hear on the radio that a lot of these extravagant requests made by pop stars (like taking all the blue M&Ms out, particular brands of bottled water and so on) started when bands started doing more and more technically demanding tours. The rationale being that an apparently silly clause would be put into the contract with a particular venue, but if the condition hadn't been met then the performers would know quickly that the venue hadn't read the contract properly and there could be more serious problems with the equipment when it came to the performance.
It looks as if it's gone on from there to represent an opportunity for the singer or band to put their stamp on the peripherals.

It's funny how perfectly reasonable requests get bundled in with exagerrated accounts of "divaish" behaviour. So she was late - it happens, especially when you have a whistlestop promotional tour of the UK to do. Her preferred brand of mineral water? MY GOD WHATEVER NEXT! Everyone has favourite brands, what on Earth is wrong with requesting (sorry, "demanding" in media speak) your favourite type of something?
Meanwhile...
STOP THE CLOCKS, SADE IS BACK!
What on Earth does she do during the eight years in every decade when she doesn't make an album? We may never know. And now, curiously, she's suddenly become a band.

I like fact she had to be lowered onto the sofa next to Lorraine.
Sade is like Des'ree... a strangely popular creation who sells millions yet no-one buys...

Last I heard from DesRee was she was so bored at home she was blogging about her pottery and how dull her life was.

They keep coming up with all these reasons to hate Mariah Carey don't they? As if those ghastly albums aren't enough!!

From a life of tests, where something's always at stake
Where something's always so far...'
