Transatlantic web-newsreader and all round voice of dystopian future Ananova has come up trumps with not one but two female solo artiste based newslets. First it the somewhat embaressing suggestion that FilmFour are offering people their money back if they don’t like the appalingly reviewed Dancer In The Dark. I’ve not seen DITD, but on this kind of offer I probably will. I actually find the idea of a melodramatic musical starring Bjork rather enticing. Still, I am the man who owns the majority of the records that Tom listed under inevitable, bad and ugly below.
Second story is much more sinister. Celine Dion is so popular in China that the Canadian government was approached to persuade her to play there. Unfortunately it would appear that the Canadian governments definition of persuasion is somewhat different to the People’s Republic. Or I suppose not unfortunately – if you were one of the potential people who would have caught her filling out the Shanghai Velodrome.
This story could be a smokescreen though. Perhaps the foreign press intecepted a diplomatic document referring to Celine Dion. Above is the cover story, but actually the words ‘Celine Dion’ are coded messages. This may seem far fetched but its not the first time this idea has been mooted on this site…
