Remember those Evian babies? They skated, danced and clung onto a wire mesh fence like they were performing adults… in nappies? Remember those guys? Well, they’re back – kinda – with a new dance routine, only this time, with adult heads.
Okay, that might sound a bit terrifying, but this isn’t some kind of Fly-style experiment gone wrong.
Rather, the babies are appearing in stop-frame animation and are looking for co-stars. That means you could appear with some gyrating toddlers. That’s right! All your dreams will come true!

Seven of the current Top Ten has got the ubiquitous ‘feat.’ on the sleeve. Yep, it is pretty common these days to get some rapper to wander into the studio on lay down a quick half-baked rhyme to break up the sound of an autotuned voice. Sometimes it works… often, you simply wonder why.
With so many collabs in the charts presently, it got us thinking about the times it really doesn’t work at all. We’re talking Bing and Bowie levels of wrong (for the record, not included in the list because it is insultingly obvious).
So with that, here’s a Top 10 Worst Musical Collaborations in pop history. There’s a very good chance we’ve forgotten some, so feel free to add your own musical collaborative crimes in the comments. Read More >>>
Have you heard? Sesame Street is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
Just think about that. Four decades of Sesame Street falsely teaching children that the last letter of the alphabet is ‘zee’ instead of ‘zed’. Four decades of Sesame Street teaching children to laugh in an unconvincing east European accent whenever they count to five. Four decades of Sesame Street showing slightly underwhelming short-form documentaries about bottle factories.
And four decades of solid gold musical performances. For a kid’s TV show, Sesame Street has played host to some genuinely incredible musical acts in its time, and here’s a list of our favourites. Do let us know if we’ve missed any out…

In life, Michael Jackson always had a touch of the Willy Wonkas about him – reclusive, eccentric, fond of kids.
But in death? Well, in death the comparison’s gone berserk. Not only was the audience for yesterday’s Michael Jackson memorial service doled out via a lucky ticket-style lottery system, but Michael Jackson himself made sure he was front and centre throughout the show in his great big shiny coffin. How nobody started a mass singalong of I’ve Got A Golden Casket is beyond us.
But what a show the Michael Jackson memorial service was. Try and top that, Gary Glitter.

Aside from the bit where it staggered to a conclusion after about 16 interminable hours, what was your Grammy highlight?
Ours was the Jonas Brothers/ Stevie Wonder duet. No, of course we’re joking here – watching a gang of pubeless bumstreaks like the Jonas Brothers and what appeared to be a morbidly obese sealion huff and screech their way through Stevie Wonder’s Superstition was the dictionary definition of unbearable. Honestly, you’d need to be a monumental cockhammer to enjoy something as clearly abhorrent as that.
Incidentally, the Jonas Brothers have called the duet ‘perfect’. We’re just going to leave it at that, we think.

Stevie Wonder is easily one of our most important performers, having written songs for Martin Luther King, Sesame Street and the Abi Titmuss sex tape.
And that’s probably the reason why the US Library of Congress has decided to bestow Stevie Wonder with one of its highest honours, the Gershwin Prize. The Gershwin Prize is either an award to recognise an artist’s lifelong ability to foster mutual understanding through music, or just something they give to people who’ve spent the last decade eating so much food that they’re now starting to resemble giant fleshy beanbags.
Frankly it could be either one of those. And whichever one it isn’t, someone needs to invent it and give to Stevie Wonder as well. He’s equally brilliant at both, you see. And, no, that’s not because he’s blind. Your bigotry offends us sometimes, it really does.

Got a spare £20? Then go and bet on John McCain becoming the next president of America when voting season rolls round on November 4.
After God knows how many months, the Democrat party has been finally chosen Barack Obama over Bill Clinton’s wife as their candidate. And Obama has received some support from celebrity land.
Now, in the 2004 American election, when the world witnessed George W Bush and John F Kerry wrestle for the chance to sit in a big, white house, we all saw celebrities show their support.
The majority of film, sports, music and TV stars said George W Bush was a silly head and shouldn’t get your vote. We all know how much of a success that was when the American public stupidly voted Calamity George back into power.
