* Alba's hair-raising bill
* Bedders the devil you know
* Charts: Lukas Graham still no 1
------------------------------------
>> The Lowedown Let the Beats hit 'em
Tidal might be the streaming
service it's most fashionable
to stick the boot into, but it
might actually be time to have
a go at Apple Music.
Beats1 was supposed to be the
future of radio, wasn't it?
It's not like Apple to stay quiet
when they're onto a good thing,
and yet they are being pretty
secretive about their listening
figures. As it's all streaming
it should be easy to access
accurate data.
Well, this could be the answer.
Their posterboy signing, Zane
Lowe – a man who commanded an
audience of 3 million in his
Radio One days – is rumoured to
be drawing more like 25,000
listeners globally. Apple Music
sources say Zane's ego, which
was pretty much the size of
Jupiter when he was in the UK,
is not coping that well now he's
not got his former pulling power.
------------------------------------
Andi Peters HATES it when you spell
his name Andy. He's been known to
write emails back to people to
tell them never to do it again.
------------------------------------
>> Big Questions Who's asking what this week?
Which 80s superstar vocalist
turned up at Heathrow with the
rest of his band – but couldn't
get on the flight with them, as
he'd brought his daughter's
passport by mistake?
------------------------------------
Rapper Lupe Fiasco is a big fan
of Tottenham Hotspur.
------------------------------------
>> Sole mates Bedders the devil you know
Has Daniel Bedingfield been
reading The Game? One of the
flagship techniques used by
the controversial pick-up
artists in that book is to
wear something unusual and
eye-catching on dates to
anchor yourself in the minds
of women.
It's our best explanation for
the outfit that Bedders had
picked out for himself on a
recent night out with a lady.
He was wearing mismatched shoes.
------------------------------------
Lukas Graham is currently the
biggest selling track in America.
(As well as in UK and Australia.)
------------------------------------
>> Money shot Alba's hair-raising bill
Jessica Alba is one of the
biggest selling advert and
cover stars of recent years,
but she's not the easiest of
celebs to hire any more.
If you want Ms Alba for a shoot,
she insists on using her own hair,
make-up and stylist team. Which
isn't particularly unreasonable.
Until you see their bill. The
team collectively comes in
at... $65,000.
------------------------------------
Someone who worked with Jeremy Hunt
in the 90s at a business that went
bust described him as "the most
unpleasant man I ever worked for".
------------------------------------
>> Political insider BBC journos settle old scores
Robert Peston was talking in
the Sunday Times last weekend
about how he is "open to the
idea of romantic friendships".
If they sound like the words
of a man who hasn't been
getting any in a while, think
again. To quote those in the
know, he has been "shagging
like a rabbit" lately. One of
his ex-BBC colleagues has taken
to referring to Peston as
"Duracell Bunny".

Justin Bieber used to be in the
chess club at school.

>> Punk'd Anarchy in NZ
Our favourite tax fraudster and
self-styled PR guru, Richard
Hillgrove was back in the news
this week.
In an attempt to drum up
attention for his flagging
commercial ventures, he and his
business partner Joe Corre (son
of Malcom McLaren and Vivienne
Westwood) announced they were
going to set fire to Joe's
collection of punk clothing as
a protest against the Queen
giving her seal of approval
to a Punk London event.
It may look like a tired, pale
imitation of the KLF's infamous
million-pound inferno, but
Hillgrove does have some solid
punk credentials.
Just look at this anarchic TV
show he made back in his New
Zealand homeland:
http://bit.ly/1UCabHv
------------------------------------
Interesting that neither Corre nor
Hillgrove are directors in the PR
firm they jointly own. That honour
goes to a 22 year old marketing
manager from Leicestershire...
------------------------------------
>> Euromillions The San Marino way
A famous British songwriter/
producer wanted to place a song
in Eurovision this year. He
decided to offer it to San Marino.
San Marino's Eurovision folk
told him they'd be very happy
to consider him. But suggested
that, as it wasn't cheap for the
principality to be in Eurovision,
a "donation" of around 50,000
Euros would smooth its path
through the selection process.
He didn't take them up on their
kind offer. Not even when they
helpfully said they could
probably get by on 30,000.
FYI: San Marino did end up
picking well though (ahem):

Joe Swash spotted in the Leyton
ASDA buying Easter eggs. "Shorter

>> RIP Paul Daniels Thameslink's disappearing act
Judgeysan writes:
"I was waiting at Farringdon
Station one evening when my train
home vanished from the display
board. I tweeted the train
operator saying they'd managed to
make a whole train disappear,
something even Paul Daniels
couldn't manage.
"Two minutes later, Paul Daniels
himself tweeted me to say that
he hoped I got home soon."
FYI: A tribute to Daniels'
magic powers of seduction:

>> No love lost Remaking your mind up
I Am Love Director Luca
Guadagnino says he plans to
remake Dario Argento's Suspiria
with Dakota Johnson and Tilda
Swinton as stars.
Dario's daughter Asia Argento
said this to a fellow film-
maker on Twitter:
"Guadignino is a sneaky son
of a bitch who licks asses left
and right so he can fuck them
better... He is a no good cunt
who will burn in hell".
We'll put her down as being
on the fence about this remake.
