Pop Corner

This week AILBHE MALONEis too posh to push

* TRACK OF THE WEEK

Allured– Elephant

Elephant are a half-French teenage boy-girl swoonpop duo from London, and they've only gone and made the track of the summer. The yearning vocals are ice-cream sweet and as dreamy as a field of poppies. Alluredis very special indeed.

* Since he's moved away from music, Justin Timberlake's been looking for other ways to rake in the cash. While he's not doing badly on the acting front, he's out to be a proper mogul, and, as such, has just bought MySpace (younger Pop Cornerreaders, MySpace was like an indie version of Facebook, and was where Lily Allen and the Arctic Monkeys were discovered). He's not in it for the friends list, though.Timberlake's manager, Johnny Wright, told the Hollywood Reporterthat they're looking into their options- "Whether [Justin's project] becomes a talent competition or something like that, those are the things that we will still flesh out...We definitely want to bring the industry back to MySpace to really look at the talented people that have put their faces there."

* Next week Victoria Beckham will pop out her little baby girl via C-Section (obvs she's too Posh to push), and plans are already afoot for the baby's room, according to a "friend of the Beckham family" who told Nowmagazine that Victoria's "opted for special mood lighting, the best cashmere blankets money can buy and Egyptian 1,000 thread-count cotton sheets for the crib ... She's filled the rooms with more than £6,000 worth of Jo Malone scented candles and bath oils and she's also splashed out on more healing crystals". Gosh, we must come visit.

* Once more showing why pop music misses her dearly, Lily Allen recently spoke to Ellemagazine about the unrealistic body image of women in the media."I hang out with models, the biggest pop stars and, you know, really and honestly, I hate saying this, but none of them are achieving those body shapes by being healthy," she explained. "They're not eating."
