Posted by Adam Hill on 06.30.2010

Fergie causes a ruckus, Ke$ha loves fat men, Vince Neil never learns, Bret Michaels wants Simon’s job, and how did Google kill Britney? Plus, the Minogue family explodes as Kylie and Dannii face off in Vs, 5 Things about Robyn and Amanda Harrington is your &1 Model of the Week!

BEFORE WE BEGIN…
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages, I'm your host Adam Hill and this is the place to be for all your music news, gossip and scandal needs. Welcome to The Music 5 & 1.

What's shaking people? Apart from the poor showing by both the USA and England in the World Cup, it's been a pretty sweet week. If new music is what you're after, yesterday saw the US release of the awesome debut album by indie–dance trio Delphic. If that simple sentence isn't enough and you need more convincing as to its brilliance you should go check out my review.

Once you're done here you should go check out the original 5&1 by 411's resident Gossip King Steve Gustafson, he gives good headlines.

Are you still hungry for more 5 & 1 goodness? Then hop on over to the Wrestling zone and check out The Wrestling 5&1. It's usually helmed by Ryan Merholz but this week yours truly stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park.

Keep your eyes on the Music Zone this weekend when I'll be bringing an old friend back for us all to enjoy.

Finally, I've got a quick question for you all. Katie Price (aka Jordan) is currently promoting her debut solo song "Free To Love Again" saying "It's a bit of fun. I'm not a singer. There's no way I'm a singer, but I love singing, if that makes sense. I got offered the chance to do this single, I got played it and thought, 'Brilliant - I'll give it a go. Why not?'."

Personally, I can't stand this woman but as she is now venturing into the pop world I thought I would let you, the reader, decide if she is worthy of coverage on this hallowed site.




What do you think? Should Jordan be allowed into the Music 5 & 1?


Right then, let's get this show on the road.






WHO SAID WHAT?
"I only heard Justin Bieber for the first time two weeks ago, I genuinely thought it was a woman singing. I'd never heard it before. Is it big in England yet?"

Daniel Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter series, smacks Justin Bieber with more force than a door to the face.




You knew it was coming. For those of you keeping score at home, that's now 5 in a row.

VS
Last week, Vs took a ride down a Country lane as Carrie Underwood beat down LeAnn Rimes 11 - 3.

This week, we're going to head to another part of the world entirely in a monumental family battle between two antipodean stunners. Last week Kylie told us which three female celebrities she would make-out with but is that added knowledge enough for to make you vote for her over younger sister Dannii? Who will be victorious in the Minogue family war? Every vote counts. FIGHT!



Dannii Vs Kylie

5 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ROBYN
Swedish synth-pop diva Robyn has recently released the first of a planned 3 albums this year. Releasing 3 albums in the space of a few months is either the mark of a very confident or very stupid person but Robyn - Body Talk Pt. 1 is fantastic and as you will see from the following 5 things you didn't know, confidence is not something that Robyn is short of.

1) Robyn recorded the theme song for the Swedish television show Lilla Sportspegeln in 1991 – she was twelve.

2) Her song "Show Me Love" featured prominently the 1998 film Fucking Åmål, and the song's title was used as the film's title in English-speaking countries.

3) She fell out with her label in 2004 after they reacted negatively to her new electro-pop sound. Robyn then decided to release music on her own and in early 2005 she announced she would be leaving Jive Records to start her own record label, Konichiwa Records.

4) Her fourth studio album, Robyn, became her first number-one album upon its release in Sweden and gained the singer three Swedish Grammy Awards in 2006.

5) The second of her planned 3 releases this year, Body Talk Pt. 2 is scheduled to be released on 6 September 2010 and will contain a duet with Snoop Dogg.


You learn something new every day.






VIDEO A-GO-GO!
I've always liked Kelly Rowland but I haven't made up my mind about her latest track, "Commander". She's teamed up with DJ David Guetta once again to go all electro-house.




How long before we get the ‘Gaga wannabe' comments?


BONUS VIDEO A-GO-GO!
OK Go is renowned for its amazing videos but the latest offering isn't about the music. The question is ‘can anyone beat Animal?'





BUBBLING UNDER
These are the stories that didn't quite make the cut when I put the column together. I'll drop a quick synopsis, or joke, about each story and from time to time I'll also include some made up news, just for fun.

This week, it's all about the lawsuits.

Folk singer sues Led Zeppelin for stealing "Dazed and Confused".
Jake Holmes has emerged from the cave he's been living in for years and just realized the song sounds like one of his.

Kanye West sued over "Stronger".
Virginia rapper Vince P. has been living in Jake Holmes' cave.

Drake Sued By Playboy for samples used in "Best I Ever Had".
It's to do with copyright infringement – not boobs.

Danzig Getting Sued For Rear Ending A Guy.
Oh come on, you don't need me to make a joke here surely?



It's time to crank this mother up to 11 as we take a look at 5 news stories from the last week and one, smoking, hottie.







Some people just never learn
Vince Neil of Motley Crue has been busted again for DUI. Back in 1984, Vince crashed his car while driving drunk and killed his friend Razzle from Hanoi Rocks. You'd think that would be the sort of thing that would stay with you and that you'd never, ever, drink and drive again. Apparently not.


The arrest came about as, according to TMZ, Las Vegas police was already looking for Neil as they suspected him to be involved in a camera smashing incident. A woman reported to police that Neil grabbed her camera and smashed it after she took a picture of him. The cops then went out to look for Neil, found his car and pulled him over.





A photo then made the rounds that showed Neil drinking champagne at a Daytime Emmy Awards party, hours before he was arrested.





It was then suggested that Neil's drinking may have started 4 days before his arrest as he was pictured out and about in Toronto on Thursday night at Cherry Cola's Rock N' Rolla Cabaret & Lounge - wearing the exact same clothes he had on when he was busted. Now, wearing the same shirt is not proof that he indulged in a 4-day drinking binge but conclusions are easily jumped to.





You know the saddest part of this whole story? According to his wife, Neil had been sober for 3 years before this latest incident.



Is you is, or is you ain't my Black Eyed Pea?
Depending on whom you ask, Fergie either is or isn't done with the Black Eyed Peas.

According to a source who spoke to Radaronline.com, Fergie is refusing to commit to the Peas tour next year and is even considering leaving the group. And it's all because she can't stand Will.i.Am.

"Fergie is saying she wants out of the band and the second half of the tour isn't confirmed for early next year. Things have gotten really bad with Will.i.Am. And it's not just Fergie who is clashing with him. So is the rest of the band. His ego is out of control.

Fergie just wants to get away from the whole thing.

I don't know if she'll admit or deny it when it leaks out, but I do know that it's 100 percent true, she's got everything planned out and she says she can't be convinced to change her mind.

And she really wants a baby with Josh. Between that and the bad blood with Will, it looks like the 2011 tour is in big trouble and she's saying she's going to split for good."

All that comes from ‘a source' and we all know just how damn reliable they can be right? Anyway, as you would expect Will.i.Am has denied the whole thing and called it lies.

He tweeted "Don't believe gossip about Fergie leaving the group (we are never breaking up) it's all lies!!!"

So, an unnamed source says she's leaving and Will.i.Am, who's in the actual group, says she isn't. But, Will.i.Am is the apparent reason she may want to leave so he would say that wouldn't he? Ah, who am I kidding? I can't make this interesting. The music world won't implode if she leaves, Will.i.Am won't stop forcing his bland-o-matic production on every other track in the charts if she stays.

Why don't we all just look at a picture of Fergie and then argue about whether she's hot or not in the comments section? Deal?




Deal



Is America ready to Idolize Bret Michaels?
Ever since Bret Michaels made his first live appearance after his recent brain hemorrhage and mild stroke on the finale of American Idol, rumors have been rife that he's the man to take over Cowell's chair. Now the Poison star and Celebrity Apprentice winner has revealed to Parade.com that he is about to start talks with the show's bosses about becoming a judge.

"We have a meeting in L.A. in a couple weeks and we're going to sit down and talk. They did a poll and I think it was Madonna, P. Diddy, Howard Stern and myself, and I took 50 per cent or 60 per cent of the vote and that's tremendous. I would love to be a judge on American Idol. I think I would bring a lot to the table. I'm not built exactly like Simon Cowell, but, at the same time, I respect what he did. I would have to bring my own personality. I think if they have someone in there to try to imitate Simon, it would be a mistake; he's an original. Bring Bret Michaels in to be original... Bring someone who can bring a little grit, true grit, back to the show."

I've said before that I would love to see P. Diddy get the gig but Michaels would be a decent second choice. If, and that is a huge if right now, he can follow his doctor's instructions and stay healthy.

Who would you like to see take over from Simon Cowell?




Just like every rose has its thorn, that was a great performance, you're through



Internet killed the Britney Spears star
Yesterday the internet killed Britney Spears. Luckily for the bra-hating former pop superstar, she is still very much alive and just the latest the victim of a death scam on Google.

Following on from reports that Britney said in an interview she wanted her body to be frozen after she dies, the term 'Britney Spears Dead' became the most popular search item on Google for a few hours.




I'm not dead, I'm just cold


Britney is not the only celebrity to have been inadvertently killed off by Google in recent months. Both Russell Crowe and Justin Bieber have also been Googled to death. You can understand why people would believe Bieber might be dead, he keeps walking into doors it's only a matter of time before he does himself a serious injury.


Don't worry, I won't post that video twice in one column. I was tempted though…

But wait, what's this?



Yes people, Justin Bieber took on another door, and lost again. Oh, and for the record, unlike the person who put this video together, I do blame him



I like ‘em fat, I like em' proud
You all know how I feel about Ke$ha and now we all know how she feels about men, or more precisely, what she wants from a man. Basically speaking, she likes them fat.

"My ideal man would be funny and fat with a beard. I love fat men. I like real men. I don't like really feminine men who tan. I don't understand that. I like a funny man, though. Russell Brand's not quite my type, but if he had a fat, bearded friend, that would be perfect."

In an interview with Heat magazine she went on to say that her biggest turn off would be to date someone who spends longer in the bathroom than she does.

"I could not bear to go out with a guy who takes longer than me to get ready. I don't want someone who's going to steal my moisturizer.'

Wait, she uses moisturizer?

Anyway, Ke$ha is currently single guys, so if you are morbidly obese, excessively hairy, own a joke book and are turned on by glitter, florescent body paint and a chick who looks like she hasn't washed in weeks then contact her management company and I'm sure they could arrange for her to come over your house and cuddle up to your man boobs. She may even be able to fish the TV remote out from within your great rolls of fat.




I'm all yours Ke$ha, come get some lovin'



Now it's time for the reason you're here, the ‘&1 Model of the Week'.







Last week Ryan (Guest) made a suggestion.

I'll be honest, I'm English and I've never heard of her but Ryan, ask and ye shall receive. Here is Amanda Harrington as your &1 Model of the Week.













And with that, I'm outta here, see you in seven.
