TRACK OF THE WEEK: Spanish Saharaby Queen of Hearts

This is the centrepiece to Queen of Hearts' upcoming EP ( The Arrival) and it's stunning. A cover of the Foals' track, Queen of Hearts extends it into gloriously glacial electro pop. The EP is released on the October 3rd, and trust us, it's worth your cash.

N-DUBZ WATCH:This week we're wearing a black velvet band. The darkness is closing in on N-Dubz, as Dappy has confirmed that the group are not long for this world. Speaking to the Mirror, he explained that "the band is definitely going to quiet down for the next year and a half to two years.

"We may release some stuff every six months but it will definitely be quieter. Then, at the end of that period, we will do a Greatest Hitsor Best of N-Dubz. Then that'll be it – finished." It might be time to ditch the N-Dubz Watch segment now but if you'd like to see it remain, with a focus on the trio's solo-antics, e-mail SAVEDAPPY@gmail.com We're nothing if not democratic.

- Does everyone remember last week’s Hydrangea-gate? A fan gave Madonna flowers, and Madonna made a face, and muttered that she “loathed hydrangeas”? Well, queen of publicity that she is, Madonna has OWNED it.

Beyoncé's pregnancy has already given us so much – and it doesn't let up. This week, rumours of her preggo cravings have surfaced, and according to the Sunthey include "Oreo biscuits and gherkins, Bounty ice creams with hot chilli sauce and she loves dipping bananas in ketchup. For breakfast, she's been having croissants with melted Dime bars inside." We're pretty sure she stole that last recipe off us. While she can keep the bananas and ketchup, croissants with melted Dime bars is our signature dish.
