Stephen Gately’s Dead, So Is Dignity So much for a Boyzone reunion folks. Stephen Gately is busy working his boyish charms on St Peter while the rest of us bicker over puke, speculative evidence and an oddly-placed Bulgarian. The Majorca Press recently felt the need to suggest that Steve was smoking 'cannabis' the night before he died and 'knew that was not the cause of his death'. Now there's a strange breed of paparazzo: 'I know amigos, let's take the bastard out of the death-crouch and crucify him, never mind relevance! Por Favor! We're the Spanish Inquisition, and by the way, we're trained doctors too.'

WEBTHUMP! Starting today, here's a blast through the stuff on the internet that's been rocking our world over the last 24 hours... 5 - The all-time feline champion of What's The Time Mr Wolf... 4 - The top 25 covers of Yesterday by The Beatles.

Mika Effs Up The Boyzone Reunion

Have you heard the news? Boyzone are reforming because they've put aside their differences and not because Take That and the Spice Girls have got rich doing it and nobody cares about Ronan Keating's solo career any more.

Yes, Boyzone - the most famous elderly Irish boyband after Westlife and Murtagh Fitzpatrick And The Clodpoopers - are reforming, but there's a hitch. Boyzone wanted their comeback single to be I Gave It All Away, a song written by inexplicably popular annoyance Mika - but Mika's not having it. That's a good thing, because when a band interprets a songwriter's work, the result is often a brand-new, unique piece of music spliced equally from each party's DNA like a baby - and we can all agree that a part-Mika/ part-Boyzone baby would probably end up looking and sounding a lot like the disfigured genetically-deformed mutant puppy from The Fly II.
