'Will this do?' asks Ailbhe Malone

TRACK OF THE WEEK

21st Century Girlby Willow Smith. She's back! She's coming to Dublin next week with Bieber! And here's second single! And it's, erm, okay. Spouting on about how "danger is beauty" and how she likes to "rock the beat", our Willow does her best Ke$ha impression – with mixed results. Obviously Whip My Hair Part 2was never going to happen, but 21st Century Girlhas more than a touch of "will this do?" about it. But hey, what do we know? It'll probably be our ring tone this time next week. Wi

Poor Cheryl Cole's not doing well in the US. After losing out on a position on the panel of the US X Factor, she's feeling rather homesick. The Sunreports that "she asks that every room she stays in has similar furnishings and pictures so she doesn't feel too displaced". She's also getting her favourite sweets posted over, as she "bought some Haribo the other day and she said even they tasted different". Life's tough at the top.

It seems Beyoncé is rivalling James Franco in the polymath stakes. Speaking about how she spent her down time after coming off the I Am . . . world tour, she said: “I did all these things I wanted to do that I don’t have time for. I set up a production company, learned how to edit, did a bit of recording and directed a DVD. I even did some cooking, although I didn’t really enjoy that. I’m not the greatest cook. I can do good things with oxtail, though. It was great just having the time to be a wife rather than this non-stop travelling career girl.”

As Beyoncé is grappling with oxtail, Christina Aguilera is out raising trouble. The Dirty singer was recently arrested for public intoxication after a Hollywood sheriff pulled over the car her boyfriend was driving. The best response to the situation so far has been from Xtina’s Lady Marmalade collaborator Pink, who tweeted: “Out of myself, Britney, and Christina – didn’t everyone think I was gonna be the troublemaker? LOOK MA!!! No CUFFS!!!”
