Hollywood actor shares debut video for single Thief
Divergent star Ansel Elgort (... take that Englebert Humperdinck), whose name was once being bandied around in discussions about the casting of the young Han Solo in the forthcoming Star Wars spin-off story, has shared his debut single and video for Thief.
Only a buff young Hollywood actor would have the bare cheek to have himself doing press-ups in his underwear in their first music video.
He also gets it on with an attractive young actress (did he direct this himself?...)
“I wanted to do a little tribute to him on the show because not only was he a good friend, but he was probably one of the most brilliant songwriters this country’s ever produced, and certainly one of the best vocalists ever.
"One of the best in the world."
The pair famously collborated on the song Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me
Sir Elton said their friendship was "based on music to start with".
Quote Message: I remember sitting in the car just off Hyde Park listening to a cassette of ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go Go’ and I said, ‘George, that’s the nearest record I’ve heard to a Motown record for years and years."
I remember sitting in the car just off Hyde Park listening to a cassette of ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go Go’ and I said, ‘George, that’s the nearest record I’ve heard to a Motown record for years and years."
He added: "He was the kindest, most generous man, and did it without wanting any publicity. I’ve seen him being so kind to so many people.
"I’ll miss him so much for his music but more than anything for his humanity."
Paul and Phil Hartnoll, better known as electro-trance band Orbital are planing a series of festival dates this summer as they hit the comeback trail.
The brothers split three years ago but have settled their differences and last week shared the new track Kinetic.
They are to headline Forbidden Fruit in Dublin, Standon Calling in Hertfordshire and the Bluedot festival at Jodrell Bank radio telescope in Cheshire.
They've been speaking to 6 Music about working together again.
Judge at US tax hearing asks lawyer to explain Thriller lyrics
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Now, in what has to be a world's first - at a hearing into a late star's finances, a US judge asked for an explanation for the rap at the tail end of Michael Jackson's Thriller.
US Tax Court Judge Mark Holmes asked Jackson's former lawyer John Branca: "You're familiar with Thriller... what exactly does 'the funk of 40,000 years' mean?"
"Karma," answered Branca.
The exchange came during the first day of a trial looking into Michael Jackson's debts.
The IRS claims that Jackson's estate owes it more than $700 million (£566 million) in taxes and penalties.
It was a good fight, it was clean fight...but it seems Aussie pop queen Kylie Minogue has won the legal battle with Kylie Jenner for the right to continue to trade under her own famous name.
Jenner, who first shot to fame in the US reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, has been trying to trademark the name in the US.
However Kylie M's team described Kylie J as merely "a secondary reality television personality". Ouch.

Steal Kylie's trademark? You should be so lucky.
So if you're naming your baby girl Kylie, it's after Minogue, not Jenner. Got it?
Lets hear you up on the terraces: "There's only one Kylie ! One Kylieeeee, there's only one Kylieeee..."
Madonna granted permission to adopt two children from Malawi

Despite protesting to the contrary, Madonna has apparently been granted permission to adopt two more children from Malawi, a court spokesperson has announced.
The singer already has has two children from the African country - David, adopted in 2006, and Mercy, adopted in 2009.
Malawian judiciary spokesman Mlenga Mvula said the singer and her lawyers were inside the country's High Court in Lilongwe when the ruling was given earlier today.
But less than two weeks ago Madonna denied reports she'd applied to adopt any more children, during a charity visit to Malawi.
Ok you've made it to lunch, so here's a little musical treat for you to enjoy with your butties.
They've been a big hit in east London's underground scene but now the brilliantly-named Strong Asian Mothers have made their debut playing a Maida Vale session for Huw Stephens on Radio 1.
The band released Lynx Africa, their debut EP (not the deodorant) in May last year and have already played a bunch of festivals including Bestival, Secret Garden Party and Reading & Leeds.
Check out their awesome cover of Don't Let Go by En Vogue which is about half-way into the session below...07.08 in, to be precise.
Enjoy.
Is Kanye West's 'friendship' with Donald Trump over?
BBC Newsbeat
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
We've all done it, sent that text or email that you wish you could un-send. Well sadly you can't.
However, the beauty of social media is that it does at least afford the luxury of the delete button and that's exactly what rapper Kanye West has done with a series of tweets explaining his decision to meet with Donald Trump.
The Chicago rapper said the meeting with the US President (at the time still-in-waiting) was to "discuss multicultural issues", but those posts have now been removed.
Trump told the world's gathered press: "He's a good man. We've been friends for a long time."
The revolution will not be televised though, so if you want to catch them you need to be at one of their four gigs in Chicago, Washington DC, New York and Philadelphia from 23-29 April.
We're still awaiting that debut album but fresh off the announcement earlier this week of when we can expect it (that's 24 February) Stormzy's announced a UK and Ireland tour kicking off in Belfast on 31 March.
The Gang Signs & Prayer tour will also visit cities including Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds.
Like with Stormzy last week, posters in London appear to be announcing the potential return of British electronic outfit The KLF in August and lots of very excited people have been speculating over their meaning - a new album perhaps?
Well, according to a report in Pitchfork - it's a new book we are expecting, titled 2023: A Trilogy, it is due to arrive on 23 August.
A short blurb, on the website of publishers Faber & Faber (which has now apparently been deleted) said: "Down through the epochs and out across the continents, generation upon generation of the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu have told variants of the same story - an end of days story, a final chapter story.
"But with one hope, even if the hope at times seems forlorn."
The statement went on to say the trilogy is due to be presented as "a utopian costume drama, set in the near future, written in the recent past."
Phew. Think of this KLF news as an...ahem...'present', from us though today.
Bob Dylan's hero Woody Guthrie to become Radio 2 Folk Awards Hall of Famer
The awards will return to London’s Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday 5 April, with performances from Billy Bragg (pictured below), Afro Celt Sound System and Orkney group Fara.
Al Stewart will also receive a prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to folk music.

As well as This Land Is Your Land, Guthrie was famed for writing protest songs and travelling tunes like This Train is Bound For Glory, Deportee and Pastures of Plenty and famously stuck a sign on his acoustic declaring "This machine kills fascists".
He died in 1967 after suffering from Huntington's disease.
Other nominees for the awards categories will be announced by presenter Mark Radcliffe in the Radio 2 Folk Show on Wednesday.
Radcliffe joked: “I know people are always saying they’re ‘thrilled’ about things in press quotes…but what can I tell you? Hosting the Folk Awards at The Royal Albert Hall is genuinely thrilling.

Quote Message: Everyone and anyone in folk will be there and there is a real sense of a big night out and a gathering of the clans. So, predictable though this quote is, I’m thrilled to be doing it”.

So, earlier we told you about MIA curating this year's Meltdown Festival on London's Southbank (scroll down for more)
There is not word yet on who she will invite but one thing we know if that it will not be a pedestrian artist selection.
As an example, our reporter Mark Savage has compiled a list of reasons proving why she's a bold choice, from challenging Saudi Arabia over women's rights to predicting Wikileaks.
Lady Gaga's impressive stadium dive was pre-recorded

Not that it takes away from her show-stealing performance but, Lady Gaga's ultimate stage dive was pre-recorded.
According to Natalie Cheung from Intel, who supplied the drones which formed the US flag above the stadium, said the weather played a part in the decision to film the segment.
She told USA Today: "In February, you don’t know what it will be like during Super Bowl day. We’d hate to plan all this and, if the wind speeds are too high or if it’s raining and the roof is closed, no one can see this spectacular show.
"So our creative team as well as the Super Bowl creative team felt this would be best to be filmed."
She added: "Lady Gaga also was on the roof when this was filmed... it’s a bit hard for her to go from the roof all the way down to the floor of the stadium."
Here's a fan shot video of the moment below. We guess you could call it the perfect illusion.
And as a side note, it was watched by a lot of Americans. According to figures, 117.5m tuned in to watch her.
It's still behind the all-time most-watched halftime show which remains Katy Perry in 2015 whose total TV audience topped 120.7m.
But she is up from last year's Coldplay, Bruno Mars and Beyonce special.
M.I.A to curate Meltdown Festival
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
She flies like paper and gets high like planes but now British/Sri Lankan rapper, producer and singer M.I.A can add curating festivals to her CV after she was announced as the main woman at this year's Meltdown Festival.
The event takes place at London's Southbank Centre from 9-18 June with the aim of "bringing to life the world of its curator."
Previous custodian's have included Patti Smith, David Bowie and Morrissey.
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
As well as having hits like Paper Planes and having been previously nominated for an Oscar, two Grammies and a Mercury Prize, M.I.A has worked as a visual artist, fashion designer and activist.
M.I.A says Meltdown will provide a chance to put on acts that "show different types of music which have inspired each other to exist".
Quote Message: I plan to bring together music’s best forward thinkers who have contributed to all our lives. When music acts as inspiration, it’s boundary-less.”
I plan to bring together music’s best forward thinkers who have contributed to all our lives. When music acts as inspiration, it’s boundary-less.”
The full line-up for Meltdown will be released in the coming months.
First up today, Sting is joining a distinguished list of artists, which includes Elton John, Bruce Springsteen and Sir Paul McCartney, in receiving a Polar Music Prize Laureate for 2017.
He better brush off his best shoes as he will be presented with the honour by King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden at a ceremony in Stockholm on 15 June.
Sting said he was "honoured to receive the Polar Music Prize and to join past recipients who I have long admired and respected".
He added he still maintains "a childlike curiosity about music, along with a sense that I constantly need to work at it."
Later this month, Sting will be over in Los Angeles at the Oscars where his track The Empty Chair, from a documentary about murdered US journalist James Foley, is nominated for best original song.

Also being honoured is renowned jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter, who said: "It’s another great adventure for me, during a life where I’ve always chosen the trail less travelled because it always takes you to more interesting discoveries."

Guy Garvey announces a new edition to his band
BBC Radio 5 live
And by band, we mean family.
The lead singer of Elbow told Afternoon Edition's Sarah Brett and Nihal Arthanyake that "We've got a baby on the way".
The singer is married to actress Rachael Stirling.
The baby is apparently due "quite soon - end of March beginning of April."
"We are as ready as we can be, considering Elbow are going on tour right up until the due date," said Guy.
"It's not bad...it's only the UK so I'm home every couple of days but it's not ideal, let's put it that way".
"I'm just overjoyed you know. I'm so lucky".
The band's latest album Little Fictions came out on Friday.
