It’s clearly a slow news day in Celeb-land, as The Sun and The Mirror both regurgitate Robbie Williams quotes from his visit to We Will Rock You the other night.

The Mirror reckon Robbie said he was definitely going to rejoin Take That (a dull rumour that’s been doing the rounds every month since 2005). However, while The Sun’s report agrees with this, it also says that he was dashing back to the studio to record with Mark Ronson.

Now, let’s imagine that you’ve been asked the same question for four years: “Any chance of you rejoining Take That, Rob?” Why not just nod your head and go along with it? “Yeah, yeah. Even though I’m clearly recording a solo album, I’d love nothing more than to hook up with Take That again.”

Jaw-dropping Led Zeppelin news to start the new year with – Jimmy Page’s manager has confirmed that the remaining members of the band are planning to reform. But they’re going to replace Robert Plant and they’re going to take this new act on tour and into the studio to record a new album.

From the report – which I just read on NME – Peter Mensch (a far more reliable source than The Sun) told BBC 6Music that Page and Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones enjoy working together, and that John Bonham’s son Jason seems to be more than happy to sign on as drummer.

I’ll bet Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow are regretting ever meeting up at a football game a few weeks ago.

The tabloids are going to town on this story, today speculating that because Robbie has recently bought a mansion in the country, he’ll be needing some cash to pay the mortgage.

I mean, they’re even interpreting a comment like:

I’d like to think we’d be the only band in the history of music to get together because of artistic differences.

as a positive signal that he’s considering re-joining the band.

Look at this photo of S Club 7 – those were the days, weren’t they? Bring It All Back, Natural, Don’t Stop Movin’…all those hits! Well, the band are planning to reform for a series of university and club dates.

That’s a lie, actually. You can hardly call it a reunion when only 3 out of the original 7 are involved. Apparently only Jo O’Meara, Paul Cattermole (who left the group to form a rock band before S Club actually disbanded) and Bradley McIntosh are involved in the project.

As we said last week amid all the speculation of a Led Zeppelin reunion – it ain’t over with Zep until someone releases an official statement.

And now someone has released an official statement: stand up Mr Robert Plant. Via his website, Plant has released an official statement saying that he’s not planning to tour for at least the next two years, and that he will certainly not be touring with Led Zeppelin.

The Led Zeppelin rumour mill has been in overdrive since way back in June 2007 – that’s when we first started talking about possible reunions.

As you all know, Robert, Jimmy and John reunited, with the rightful heir to the drum riser, Jason Bonham, and the band performed a one-off concert in London last autumn.

If hints dropped by Floyd’s Dave Gilmour recently are anything to go by, the band’s brief Live 8 reunion might not be the last time the Pink Floyd OAPs club performs on stage.

Only joking about the OAPs thing, serious fans – we love Pink Floyd here!

Apparently Gilmour told BBC 6Music “Who knows? Who knows the future? I haven’t absolutely said ‘no’ to the possibility, but I think that in reality any sort of long-term thing together is not going to happen. At my incredibly advantaged age – having achieved this – I’ve earned the right to sit on my ass for a little while and consider what to do next.”

Guess what? Our favourite 90’s boyband (excluding Take That) are back!

New Kids On The Block appeared on the Today show in America …well today, and revealed their plans for their new reunion album.

We reported back in January that NKOTB were planning to reform, but Danny Woods spoke out and refuted that rumour. We’d be calling them liars right about now, except that Donnie explains in the video that they were hoping to keep things under wraps until the new album was ready, but that the earlier leak forced them to come out and admit the reunion was on.

Watch the clip below:

Break out your stonewashed, high waisted jeans and put your hands in the air….the New Kids On The Block are back! We reported this at the end of January, but they came out and denied it. Looks like NKOTB were buying themselves some time to get the details in order before a formal announcement.

The five guys will appear on US TV show, The Today Show, this Friday, April 4th.

Though it is not yet clear if the band will be performing or if it will be an interview only, we will try and get you a clip from the mighty youtube asap! Read more & comment »

I’ve long been a fan of The Jayhawks, discovering their music through a recommendation, then discovering to my disappointment that they’d split up years before.

So, my ears pricked up today when I heard that Gary Louris and Mark Olson, the brains behind The Jayhawks have come together to release a new album, Ready For The Flood. It even sounds like a Jayhawks type of title, doesn’t it?
