Lady Gaga: "David Bowie is my influence" Now we know who to blame for Lady GaGa: the pop tart told MTV host Alexa Chung that David Bowie is a major influence on her, um, unusual image.

"I used to sit in my apartment for hours and do his make-up on myself over and over again," GaGa revealed.

This revelation shouldn't surprise anyone who's familiar with Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" years, when he gallivanted around in strange costumes and bizarre hairstyles saying weird and unusual things — much like Lady GaGa.

Check out the full post for our look at some of the myriad ways Ziggy has inspired GaGa.

Confirmed: Take That reunion Robbie Williams has confirmed that Take That will be the next '90s pop supergroup to stage a reunion.

He appeared on British chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and revealed that he and the other members of Take That — Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen — have been in the studio recording "bits and bobs", and that all five of them might appear onstage together soon.

Of course, Take That have technically already reunited — though their previous reunion tour was sans Robbie, the only member of the band anyone really cares about nowadays.

Video: Alicia Keys and Jay-Z heart NYC

It's rare that a day goes by and I don't wish that I'm back in New York City (it really is the greatest city in the world). So I simultaneously love and hate Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' new track 'Empire State of Mind'.

I love it because it's a reminder what a glamorous, incredible, super-cool place New York is. (That, and it's a catchy song.) I hate it because it makes me want to go there right now. (Would anyone like to volunteer to pay for my plane ticket? Anyone?)

Apparently the song is getting play all over New York right now — no surprise. Check out the all-new clip in the full post and pretend you're there.

Australian Idol: Top 4 - Noughties This episode kicks off with a shocking moment, which is itself shocking in a season that's generally been pretty ho-hum: Toby has decided to pull out of the competition! Because he's more passionate about schoolteaching than he is about a career in the music industry. I suspect the real reason he's dropped out is because he's run out of a droopy British ballads to sing.

Read the full post for more on Toby's unexpected decision.

Quiz: Guess the band minus the frontman! , There's probably a song featuring the musical talents of Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion on your MP3 player — you just don't know it.

"Um, who the hell are those guys?" you might be asking. Well, they're the non-Chris Martin members of Coldplay, and despite being part of one of the biggest bands on the planet you likely wouldn't recognise them if you passed them in the street.

(Unless, of course, you're some sort of Coldplay uber-fan; if this is the case, please refrain from leaving a snotty "I can't believe you don't know who Jonny, Guy and Will are, YOU MUSICAL PHILISTINE"-type comment.)

What other megabands become unrecognisable once you eliminate their frontman? Or are you such a music genius you can pick a group even without their lead singer? Read the full post to test your knowledge in our quiz!

This could get ugly: Taylor Swift and Kanye West to reunite? Sparks might fly if Taylor Swift is reunited with her nemesis Kanye West in the upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live.

Perez sez the producers of the long-running sketch-comedy are frantically trying to book a "surprise" cameo from Kanye when Taylor hosts the show this week.

Yeah, that's a great plan — giving Kanye yet another opportunity to upstage poor Taylor.

Actually, the reunion would probably turn out to be pretty boring — Taylor would be all polite and forgiving, and Kanye would be all apologetic and humble (or as least as humble as a bighead like Kanye can get). Snooze! I want blood!

Speaking of Robbie: he hasn't performed in Australia for three years, but he's heading to Australia to perform at the ARIA Awards and Sydney's Metro theatre to promote his new album Reality Killed The Video Star, available from November 6.

Rihanna to give tell-all interview about Chris Brown MusicFIX Blog by MusicFIX Nov 3 2009 12:17PM Rihanna is finally speaking out about her assault earlier this year by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

While Chris has issued several apologies and given numerous remorseful interviews about the incident, Rihanna has never made a public comment about the violent attack.

America's ABC has announced that as well as performing on Good Morning America this Thursday, Rihanna will also sit down to tell her side of the story.

The tell-all interview will premiere on Good Morning America, with an extended special airing the following night.

No word yet on whether the interview will make it to Australian screens, but no doubt it will be all over the internet the moment it airs.
