Here are some mysteries of life for you to wonder upon whilst I am away...
If a tree falls in a wood, and there is no-one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
And here, courtesy of Britney fansite WorldofBritney, is the first look at the BritBrit's photoshoot with Elle magazine's December issue! Britney's done far too little photo-shoots during this campaign, it almost seems strange to see photos of her that aren't from that Mark Liddell shoot which has been used for practically everything except the album artwork!
She looks amazing, I'd like to think Photoshop didn't have TOO much of a hand in it but either way it's still a stunning image of her!
REPEAT UPDATE: The image is fake! CARRY ON ABOUT YOUR DAILY BUSINESS.

Media regulator and personal therapist to the ever whining nation Ofcom have reportedly received a number of complaints following Cheryl Cole and Whitney Housten's performances on Sunday's X Factor results show.
Apparently, 32 people (shit! do some damage control Simon -hah!) put the effort in and picked up the dog and bone (phone, people, that'll be a phone - Cockney rhyming slang guv'ner!) to complain that the pairs performance's (which were billed as live) were in fact mimed. Or shit(which they were not)
:(
Sad stuff! One of the things that became a staple of Lady GaGa's often brilliantly erratic music videos was the inclusion of two Great Dane's who made their 'acting debut' in the 'Poker Face' video and subsequently went on to star in both the 'LoveGame' and 'Paparazzi' promos. However anyone hoping for them both to turn up in the video for upcoming single 'Bad Romance' are going to be unfortunately dissapointed as one of the poor dogs was found dead earlier this month!
The five year old Great Dane Rumpus (right in the photo apparently)was discovered after a hike in Los Angeles with his owner Suzzane Kelleher-Duckett who said he had been in 'perfect health' and that there were 'no signs of injury' An autopsy has been performed and results are expected soon!
Rumpus' mother Lava will still appear in the Bad Romance video clip
Altogether now, 'sometimes I feel like throwin' my hands up in the ayaaahhh'

Geez you wait a week for any Britney related news to slip through Jive's massive cracks *ahem* and then it all comes at once, while your sleeping at that!
OKAY so first things first...
Britney is OFFICIALLY number one on the US Billboard chart this week with '3'. As previously reported here, the track sold over 255,000 copies of the song in the US this week, giving BritBrit her third number one in the US! About time she got some too, considering her only others were '...Hit Me Baby' and 'Womanizer'!
Britney celebrated with the following tweets:
I want to thank my fans for making ‘3’ the # 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100. I am truly blessed with the greatest fans in the world.'
and...
I am so happy y’all love it because I do this all for you. I can’t wait till you see the video! -Britney
Yesterday, at a Waterstones book signing for her new autobiography 'Dreams', Leona Lewis got 'Happy' (sorry!) slapped by a random 'fan' (or as some tabloids would have you beleive, got viciously punched in the head by a 'thug' and rushed for emergancy work at Harley Street)
Leona's spokesman has claimed that the X Factor 2007 champion had been signing autographed copies of her book for around 90 minutes when 'a guy came up and punched her to the side of the head'
So punched then?
Well Robbie may have enjoyed his debut performance of his new single 'Bodies' on Sunday's X Factor results show, it certainly made for uncomfortable viewing for the rest of us!
Looking incredibly wide-eyed and flitting about the stage like a moth to the radiant light of Cheryl's hair, Robbie put on a bit of an awkard rendition of his first single in three years to an eager crowd (I swear those dramatic entrance videos rile them into a frenzy, either that or Simon has a quick whip round with a cattle prod during each performance)
Check out la video! (None of them are allowed to be embedded for some reason, just click on the link in an early 2005 fashion)
I'm all for confidence but let's not go nuts Robbie. What does everybody think?

Above is the official single cover for Lily Allen's 'Who'd Have Known', the fourth single from Lily's 'It's Not Me It's You' album. She looks lovely!

This is an extremely low quality recording of the first single from Timbo's 'Shock Value 2' album beleived to have been taken at a recent listening party for the album. The track will feature SoShy and is said to have a 'vampire' theme. Original stuff! (We love you really Timbo!)

If this track IS legitimate and is some sort of 'Circus' reject (we'll keep you updated if anything emerges) I'd say it should've definately made the album, if only so we could hear Britney crack out the British accent for the 'I'm a beast, I'm a monster' backing vocals during the chorus!

Here we are lady's and gents, Lady Gaga's 'The Fame Monster' cover has been unveiled to an eager public. And it's not really...monstrous. Let's take a look shall we?
The scariest thing about this cover is the millenium dome hair cut, but props to the Lady for not going down the obvious 'gore' root many were expecting. I fully expect this will look lovely in a proper CD ca...wait...what...what...what IS that!?!?
