There's a schoolboy Ozzy Osbourne/Iron Maiden fight,

Sharon Osbourne Upsets Iron Maiden At Ozzfest

Sharon Osbourne. If she's not being an X-Factor pantomime villain, she's trying to control her wobbly-headed husband or slapping her arse in those exceptionally patronising Asda adverts.

And now, she's fighting with Iron Maiden for allegedly getting up to some kind of mischief while on tour with Ozzy Osbourne in America.

A fight between Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne? Bless them, it's like they really want it to be 1986 again.

One way of stopping the cones from thinking their evil thoughts is to mow them down in your car,

Writer Suing Over Lost Idea

Everyone loves Lost. We love the crazy bald knife guy. We love the junkie rockstar, we love that fat bloke, we don't love the incesty brother and sister very much, but we love the Korean couple enough to make up for it.

One person who doesn't love Lost is Anthony Spinner. He doesn't love Lost because it apparently closely resembles something he wrote 28 years ago. In fact, he loves Lost so little that he's suing ABC and Touchstone, who are responsible for the show.

Robert Moog Dies

Robert Moog, inventor of the modern synthesiser, died on Sunday of an inoperable brain tumour that was diagnosed in April. He was 71.

Moog's self-named instrument was invented in 1964. Following a multi-Grammy winning album of Mooged-up Bach pieces four years later, the world went crazy for the Moog, and it was featured on albums by The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Donna Summer and The Who, as well as being integral to the soundtrack of A Clockwork Orange.

Courtney Expecting Baby Partridge Or Not?

Of all the 'what's that all about?' stories we've come across over the course of our life, none have been so stunningly 'what's THAT all about?' as this weekend's news that rock widow and drug black-hole Courtney Love is apparently with Steve Coogan's baby.

The News Of The World reported the story on Sunday and, although it's taken the world a little while to catch up - probably trying to work out who this Alan Partridge fella is - finally the world is united in it's weirded-outness.
