Gorillaz shun the Mercury Music Awards-Win the Gorillaz album
	As well as snubbing the Notting Hill Carnival, The Gorillaz have turned their backs on the prestigious Mercury Music Prize, leading the way wide open for nu-dull buskers Turin Brakes to bag the big money/unit-shifting prize. But, despite the fact the 2D band have pulled out of the race, their record company have other ideas. Parlophone Records submitted the LP, which was odds on to win, and are refusing rolling over and hand the prize to the competition. The Gorillaz bass player Murdoc says: "Mercury Award? Sounds a bit heavy man! Y'know sorta like carrying a dead albatross round your neck for eternity. No thanks man! Why don't you nominate some other poor Muppet!" When asked if they were rejecting the prize because they were afraid they would look bad if they didn't win, Murdoch said: "What are you wittering on about? We've already won this egg and spoon race by pulling out and you'll find us behind the bike sheds smoking. I pity the person that wins the cup that we've already pissed in." To win a copy of the Gorillaz album answer this simple question Name the kick-ass heroine created by the Gorillaz animator email answers to tony@myvillage.co.uk
Is Poshspice.com the worst website in pop?
	La Beckham must have spent in excess of £20k on her new cyberspace opus Victoriabeckham.mu and it's a prime example of a celeb taking their media persona far too seriously. The (supposedly ironic) cartoon Beckhams take us on a journey through their Home Counties pad 'Beckingham palace', pausing to listen to Posh's sub-Geri new record and visit Brooklyn playroom. But the icing on the cake is the VIP area, which looks set to become a money-spinner for the luckiest girl in pop. At £1.50 a go, kids can spend their hard-earned car-washing money to get a password to visit the VIP lounge 15 times. Well worth the money. Visit and cringe.
