By News Desk

Ash In Singapore

Ash was in Singapore this past week and played both their classic hits and new songs to a delighted audience at Fort Canning Park.

MTV Asia managed to catch up with the three original members, and asked them about being a band for so long.

Don't miss the interview with Ash right here.


The Game To Enter Anger Management

Controversial rapper, The Game, has been ordered by a judge to attend anger management therapy after a brawl with his cousin.

The rapper allegedly struck cousin, Robert Kirkwood, at a family funeral in July, after being coerced into paying for funeral proceedings. He will now have to appear at 36 anger management classes over the next 5 months.

The Game was already on probation for previous arms charges at the time.


Oasis Plagiarize From Cliff Richard

Bad boys, Oasis, are in the news again. This time, the rockers are accused of plagiarizing a Cliff Richard song on their new album Dig Out Your Soul.

The band's song "The Turning," allegedly bears an uncanny resemblance to Cliff Richard's 1976 classic "Devil Woman." Fans of Richard have been quick to comment on the singer's website, condemning the Oasis track as a rip-off.

Guess the joke's on the Gallagher brothers this time.


Ronnie Wood In Controversial Relationship

If you're confounded by the complicated love affairs of young starlets these days, get this. Rolling Stone's guitarist, Ronnie Wood, is divorcing his wife Jo, of 23 years, for 20-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova.

Divorce proceedings are underway for 61-year-old Wood, but the affair has been subject to intense criticism by his lover's grandmother, who doesn't want a 61-year-old grandson-in-law.

Can love cover a 41-year age gap? Only time will tell. That is, if we have enough of it.

Victoria Beckham admitted recently in an interview, that she often suffers from low self-esteem. Her 2007 World Tour with the Spice Girls, however, has helped boost her confidence significantly, largely due to the amazing reception the pop group had enjoyed.

And here we thought all that retail therapy would have worked.
