SLACKERJACK - ZunderFury

ZunderFury gameThis is what we like - ZunderFury contains no messing around. You fly around shooting things and that's it.

That's literally all you do. ZunderFury is so basic you'd think it was carved from a piece of driftwood. You fly around. And you shoot things. Then you fly around. Then you shoot more things. If everything in life was as simple as ZunderFury, well, then your car would probably be made of leaves.

In a recent interview, Nigella Lawson has stated that she's refusing to leave her children any money in her will, because she thinks that rich kids are arseholes and that not earning money "ruins people."

Nigella Lawson married a man worth £100 million and lives in his £7 million Belgravia mansion. And her dad used to be Chancellor Of The Exchequer. We're just saying.

Grammys Betting Odds Best Song Hey There Delilah Plain White T’sThe Grammys are coming, and this week we're letting you bet on who you think will win one of them, because we are kind souls with pure hearts.

Anyway, although the Grammys are going to have the sort of Tina Turner/ Michael Jackson-centric performances that'll have you leaning out of your window to check that it's not the mid-1980s, you can't make money from them.

Foxy Brown A Bit Deaf Again, Nobody Cares

Foxy Brown Jail Ears Hearing Deaf Denied CaliforniaIt must be awful being deaf in jail - if ever a yell of "Jailbreak!" went up, you'd just carry on sewing mailbags oblivious to all the fun.

And that's what scares Foxy Brown the most. Still in jail, Foxy Brown has requested to go to California to have her cochlear implant examined and possibly repaired before it causes serious permanent damage to her hearing.

And, naturally, judge Justice Melissa Jackson told her to eff off. We'd like to see her be that brave next time she gets with Foxy Brown's hair-pulling range.

Crash Gets Turned Into Dull, Worthy Racism-Based TV Show

Crash movie TV show racism seriesGuess what - the movie Crash is about to get turned into a TV series.

No, not Crash the David Cronenberg movie about James Spader having it off with people inside a smashed-up car - that would be too much like fun - we mean Crash the dreary Oscar-winning movie about racism and whatnot. That's the Crash that's being turned into a TV series.

We know. We can't wait either.

Lindsay Lohan Back On The Sauce Again, Again

Lindsay Lohan Sex Alcohol New York FightAs a recovering addict, Lindsay Lohan knows that the moment even an atom of booze passes her lips she'll fill her trousers with cocaine and go and crash her car somewhere stupid.

But still, that threat alone hasn't stopped Lindsay Lohan from impinging on her Year Of Sex, because it's been reported that Lindsay Lohan recently went out, rubbed herself up and down two different men, chugged a bunch of cocktails and then had a fight with some photographers.

Yeah yeah, allegedly. Jeez.

The Hobbit Gets All Weird And Mexican And Stuff

Guillermo Del Toro Hobbit movie Peter jacksonThe Hobbit will definitely be coming to cinemas, and it'll probably have more creepy scrawny Mexican eye-hand monsters than you remembered.

That's because Guillermo Del Toro - director of Pan's Labyrinth and Blade II - is reportedly in talks to take on both proposed Hobbit movies when they eventually get written and made.

And Guillermo Del Toro has certainly won over the fans, too - not because of his creative vision or anything like that, mind you, but because he looks exactly like Peter Jackson in a Bo Selecta mask.

Gwen Stefani’s Up The Duff Again

Gwen Stefani Pregnant Again Baby Gavin RossdaleIn a few months' time, there are going to be billions of little celebrity babies running around and screaming and crapping themselves, and that'll partly be Gwen Stefani's fault.

Because, in what seems like the millionth case of celebrity knocking-up lately, Gwen Stefani has apparently confirmed that she's 13 weeks pregnant with her second baby. By our calculations, that means that Gwen Stefani fell pregnant on October 23 - with experts suggesting that the new Stefani baby was the product of commemorative lovemaking to mark the sixth anniversary of the Chenchen Moscow Theatre Siege.

Well, we're suggesting it anyway. And we're sort of experts. Right?

Britney Spears Mental Barbara Walters Sam Lufi Mentally UnwellThis might come as a shock to some of you, so prepare yourselves - Britney Spears is mentally unwell.

Hecklergigs: Cat Power, Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 27/1

Cat Power Shepherd’s Bush Chan Marshall LiveAs informed members of the music buying public, there are a few things that you should know before reading a live review of Cat Power.

Not the fact that her real name is Chan Marshall (pronounced ‘Shaun’), nor that she has recently become the face of Chanel, handpicked by Karl Lagerfeld himself.
