TRACK OF THE WEEK

Sleazy(Remix)by Ke$ha ft Andre 3000. In one of the odder pairings of the year, Sleazysees Outkast's Andre 3000 team up with noted enemy of dental hygiene Ke$ha. With a grimy bouncing beat, the song explains how Ke$ha is so over paying for drinks, but how Andre loves her anyway. While it's great, we're not sure where this trend of odd eight-bar hook-ups is going to lead to. Pixie Lott and Gil Scott-Heron, anyone?

We heardsome very exciting news this week: Kate Bush is due to release new music "some time this year". For younger fans of the Corner, Kate Bush is what every slightly interesting new female singer has been compared to. She is the lifeblood of lazy music journalists. She is also amazing. Go on, google her. This new release will be the first since 2005's Ariel excluding the single Bush did for the Golden Compass soundtrack.

One mighthave thought that there would be some kind of rivalry between ex-frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger and the other Pussycat Dolls. But as far as Nicole knows, all is peachy keen. Mind you, in a slightly catty way, she mentions that "I hope the other girls aren't jealous of me, because I'm only positive. I wish them the best success and happiness. The only place I'm ever extreme or dangerous is on stage."

Sarah Harding'sadmitted to a bizarre new hobby: fishing. Speaking to the Sun, the Girls Aloud member enthused that "the first time we went out we didn't catch anything, so we went out the following day at the crack of dawn. We got up at 4.30 to get out at first light. We were there for hours but it paid off. It was brilliant. I've had a few big ones now. One recently was huge, I didn't know what was on the end of the line at first. It was massive, but it got away." Sounds like a Whole Lotta Fish-tory to us.
