AILBHE MALONEgoes pop (don't worry – she's going to be fine)
TRACK OF THE WEEK:ICE by LIGHTS Lights (pictured) is an electronic musician (we mean a lady who makes electropop, not a cyborg – don't be silly) from Canada who has yet to find her feet on this side of the water. It's a pity, because her songs are great, and we're pretty sure she could take on Owl City in a fight. Forthcoming single Ice manages triumphantly to rhyme "ice" and "nice", and it has a catchy chorus to boot.
ENDORSEMENT OF THE WEEK:Nadine Coyle has become the face of Vanilla Blush, a specialist underwear company that caters for stomas and colostomy bags. No, seriously. Says Nadine: "This was a big worry, especially in our industries where there is so much pretence at body perfection. This is one taboo which I am right on board in helping to smash." Sure, it's no "face of Ultimo", but we're dead proud of Nadine for doing the (slightly unglamorous) right thing.
Katy Perrymay have found the best threat of all time. Her management has been pushing her rather hard to do extra promo for her upcoming single California Gurls, and Katy's not enjoying it. In an inspired moment, Katy sent out an ultimatum: "I've told them not to piss me off, and if they continue to push me harder I'll just get pregnant." Pop Corner doesn't advise using this one on your parents, kids.
Justin Bieberdoesn't show any signs of maturing soon, as his dating record shows. In a move patented by Joe Jonas, the Fisher-Price JT admitted dumping a girl over the phone. He explains: "We got into an argument during a phone call, so I basically said, 'I don't wanna be with you any more'." Naturally he handled the consequences with decorum. "She cried. I saw her after that and it was a bit awkward."
Apparently theSpice Girls are reuniting. Sadly though, Posh doesn't (really really really wanna) want in. A source claims that "Posh is so nostalgic about the good old days, but she has moved on now and is relishing the fashion world." Whatever happened to "friendship never ends"?
