How McFly spent their 'Mail on Sunday' cash
McFly videos have generally been cheap 'n' cheerful affairs, but they've dug very deep into their pockets for this latest clip. The 'Lies' promo is six minutes long, filled with CGI special effects, stunts and slightly ridiculous costumes, and set in a post-apocalyptic world where clean water is like liquid gold.
Yes, we did just use "McFly" and "post-apocalyptic" in the same paragraph...
Hmm... does anyone else have a sudden and inexplicable urge to watch The Tribe?

A soupçon of Brandy
The lead single, 'Right Here (Departed)', marks Brandy's reunion with producer Rodney Jerkins, who worked on most of her biggest hits, including 'What About Us?', 'Top Of The World' and 'The Boy Is Mine'. We've been listening to it on Brandy's MySpace page for a couple of days now and we're quietly impressed. The lyrics won't win any prizes for originality ("I will be your strength, your shelter..."), but it's a fresh, dramatic urban pop song with an almost celestial feel to it - especially when Brandy's vocals are overdubbed on the chorus. All in all, very promising indeed.

In Pictures: Madonna's 'Sticky & Sweet' tour
As you've no doubt heard, Madonna kicked off her latest trek round the world's enormodomes at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday night. She didn't simulate masturbation or suspend herself on a cross this time around, but as our 'Sticky & Sweet' tour gallery shows, Ma Ritchie hasn't forgotten how to put on a damn good show.

Pink's new video is here
Pink's brilliant comeback single, 'So What', leaked a couple of weeks ago and we called it "brash, childish, slightly ridiculous, packed with attitude and something only Pink could get away with". That description also fits the video, which premiered on MTV yesterday, so long as you substitute the word "slightly" for "completely and utterly".
Someone should probably give her a nice big hug, don't you think?

And now Dido's back too...
It's called 'Look No Further' and it's a spare, modest piano ballad about finding contentment. Dido begins by listing all the things she might have been – including, rather bizarrely, "a poet who walked upon the moon" - before acknowledging that her life's just fine as it is because she's found her soulmate. "I can stop and catch my breath," she sings, "And look no further for happiness."
This track doesn't sound like a radio smash, but then again it's not meant to - she's going to release a proper single called 'Don't Believe In Love' before the album comes out. But 'Look No Further' does confirm that Dido hasn't lost her knack for presenting ordinary, easy to relate to sentiments in an intimate and appealing way. Shall we call it another ten million album sales?
