AILBHE MALONEflags K-Fed's invaluable parenting tips

TRACK OF THE WEEK: Homewreckerby Marina and the Diamonds. As the launch of new album Electra Heartgrows closer, Marina's sent out another teaser single. With a chorus of "I'm only happy when I'm on the run, I break a million hearts just for fun", Marina's in psychotic mode. Which she fully acknowledges, singing "I guess you could say my life's a mess, but I'm looking pretty in this dress."

*It's that time of the year again – K-Fed is doling out parenting tips. Britney's ex, and the father of her two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, has declared that "I'll have them working at Micky D's. That's how we had to do it! I worked at a car wash. I worked at a pizza place. Things like that made me. I can be in this business now and I'm still the same person I was back then because I know what I want out of life and how to treat people." Britney's on board too, apparently.

“Now we’ve both agreed – this is it, they are going to be at school and learn . . . what it’s like to be part of society as a normal kid. Preston and Jayden have missed out on so much of that with me and their mom being so busy all the time.”

*Rihanna's been talking up her acting experience to the Sun. Of her role in marine "thriller" Battleships,she said: "I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really did. It felt good to not have to think about what to wear.

“Every day was the exact same thing. It was really comfortable.”

She's also dropped hints that she'd like to move into other genres, such as rom-com. "I want to try being more vulnerable, but I want to try different things. I don't want to stick to one type of role." Maybe she could do an Irish remake of Leap Year? You know, "We Found Love in a Pub in Naas"?
