Olympics Media Battle China Syndrome
Following numerous reports that China has imposed restrictions on foreign news media that will impede -- if not prevent -- their coverage of the Olympic Games, officials of the International Olympic Committee charged with coordinating TV, radio and press coverage have begun talks with members of China's organizing committee seeking assurances that broadcasters will have unfettered access to sites in Beijing. The Associated Press on Monday quoted IOC member Kevan Gosper as saying that "some progress" had been made, "but I can't say we are there yet." Chinese officials are apparently concerned that opponents of their country's policies regarding Tibet and Darfur may attempt to stage demonstrations in Beijing during the games in hopes of attracting the attention of the world's news media. Gosper, who is chairman of the IOC press commission, told the AP that he has made it plain to Chinese organizers that journalists must "have the ability of filing live without any censorship." But Kevin Fleck, China manager of Sydney-based Global Vision Networks, a satellite service provider that has contracted to provide satellite feeds for local stations all over the world, told the wire service that he has run into bureaucratic roadblocks. He said he worries that reporters are going to try to get "on the morning show back home and they're not going to be able to do it. And they are going to be angry."

Corrie's Liam set for dramatic exit?
'Coronation Street' heartthrob Rob James-Collier is reportedly set to quit the show when his current contract expires at the end of this year.
According to Digital Spy, the 31-year-old actor, who plays factory boss Liam Connor in the show, is leaving because of "typecast" fears.
A show source reportedly told the News of the World: "Nobody was expecting this and it's bad news because Liam has become hugely popular with fans."
"He won Sexiest Male at the British Soap Awards and they had big things planned for him."
"They wanted the Carla-Liam-Maria thing to really step up in pace, with him finally cheating on his girl with his sister-in-law. It would have given them a brilliant storyline which could have bubbled away until Christmas."
According to the report, a 'Coronation Street' spokesperson late confirmed the actor's planned departure, saying: "We've known for some time that Rob would be leaving at the end of his current contract."
"It's given the writers time to pen a really good exit storyline for his character, Liam."
"Rob will remain filming with us until around October and he will bow out on screen at the end of the year."

John Maybury - Thomas Daughter Cameo Scrapped From Big-screen Biopic
Director JOHN MAYBURY has apologised to Welsh poet DYLAN THOMAS' daughter - after her cameo in upcoming biopic THE EDGE OF LOVE was scrapped.
Aeronwy Thomas, 62, was asked to play a minor role in the big screen story of her poet father's life, which stars British beauties Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller.
However, the film's editors didn't deem the role important enough to make the movie's final cut.
Maybury says, "She was an extra in one of the scenes but unfortunately my editor put her on the cutting room floor. It wasn't me."
The movie is set to premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival later this month (Jun08).

Ashlee Simpson, Bittersweet World
Ashlee Simpson's third album Bittersweet World is the product of more than a year in the studio and collaboration with some heavyweight producers including the omnipresent Timbaland and Chad Hugo of The Neptunes.
Previously known more for headlines – the infamous Saturday Night Live lip-synching fiasco and relationship with Fallout Boy rocker Pete Wentz – than her music, Ashlee's latest project deserves recognition as a credible threat to the work of Britney, Pink and Avril.
Personally speaking, Ashlee's matured since albums one and two, which nevertheless both went multi-platinum and hit the US number one spot. Indeed, she recently married Wentz in an Alice In Wonderland themed ceremony, and is rumoured to be expecting their first child.
Musically she has now come to terms with her market, and has even learned to celebrate it, lyrically proclaiming herself a mischievous "Sunday school girl" and "Little Miss Perfect". The aim was to make a party record of fun songs, and she's certainly achieved that, though the result is a relatively immature product.
The album's collaborators add gravitas. Timbaland stays mostly behind the scenes but pops up on the funky, Missy Elliott-esque Murder. Santogold's Santi White co-wrote Outta My Head alongside Kenna, while Plain White T's singer Tom Higgenson duets with Simpson on single choice, Little Miss Obsessive. This pop-rock power ballad is the album's standout success and deserves to take Ashlee to the forefront of female pop.
No Time For Tears is a stylish lament and the album's one ballad, Never Dream Alone, is perfectly produced to tug at your heartstrings. Yet even on this vocally-focused track, Ashlee's lung power fails to dazzle.
On strong songs she's reminiscent of Britney and Kelly Clarkson, but too often she relies on talk-singing and shouty choruses. She can obviously hold a tune – she is the youngest person ever to play lead role Roxie in Chicago - it's just a shame she never really tests herself. This album will deservedly shunt her into the spotlight, but time will tell whether Ashlee can come through with the vocal power to match her true potential.

Spice Girls 'sorry' over cutting tour short
The Spice Girls have apologised for cutting their world tour short after receiving criticism from their fans.
The group previously blamed "family commitments" for the tour ending earlier than scheduled but media reports suggested that the members were fighting with each other.
The Spice Girls recently cancelled dates in Australia, South Africa, China and Argentina.
Mel C said: "There has been a lot of rubbish in the media over the last few days so we wanted you to hear it from the horse's mouth."
"We're very sorry not to be able to get to all the places we wanted to," she said.
Victoria Beckham added: "Our kids need to go back to school and we always said our families are our priorities. Sorry we haven't got to see everybody."
Geri Halliwell said: "The tour's gone actually longer than we anticipated. We thought we were going to go with one gig, that's how it started - then we planned until the end of January, and then we actually extended it."
Mel B addressed rumours of a rift in the camp by saying: "We hate each other? Are you kidding? We love each other."

The King of the Internet Slums It With Weezer
1. Tay Zonday feat. Weezer's Brian Bell, "Pork and Beans" (Weezer cover)
The honey-voiced YouTube lothario sics his golden vocals on the one not-bad track from Weezer's new album, rendering it several million times better. [Stereogum]
2. Lil Wayne feat. Jay-Z, "Mr. Carter"
Jay and Wayne shouldn't have needed a reason to collaborate on this excellent track from Carter III, but they found one anyway (they both have the same last name). [Pretty Much Amazing]
3. Ray Lamontagne, "Let It Be Me" (live)
Lamontagne's third album is due in September, and if this new song (recorded live last week) is any indication, it will sound pretty much like his second album: okay. [Fuel Friends]
4. Coldplay, "Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love"
Based on all leaked evidence, Coldplay's upcoming album, Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, might just be their best yet — possibly even good enough that we might admit to liking it, in confidence, to one or two of our closest friends, if they swore to secrecy, maybe. [Cold Cut]
5. The Raconteurs, "Old Enough" (live on Conan)
Jack White momentarily cedes the spotlight to co–front man Brendan Benson, surprising Conan's cameraman so much that he spends most of the performance watching the auxiliary violin player. [Music Slut]
