Favourite pop stories of the day. Firstly Badly Drawn Boy went busking at London's Waterloo Station yesterday for the video of his forthcoming single. Filmed by hidden cameras few commuters realised who he was, so much so he only managed to earn £1.60 after playing for a few hours. Talking to The Sun he said: "People didn't believe it was me, or didn't know who I was. I sympathise with real buskers, most people just don't care."
Second, a group of Kylie fans have launched a campaign urging Ms Minogue to cover up her famous bum because it is beginning to overshadow her artistic work. In an open letter the fans say: "Kylie, enough is enough. We're all bummed out. Your devoted fans can't take anymore. We're urging you to put your ass to bed once and for all. It's getting beyond a joke. Okay, so the gold hotpants thing was a nifty marketing tool for Spinning Around, but now having a curvy bot is fast becoming all your famous for. And we won't stand for it! It's such a shame to see such a talented star being reduced to such a tacky level. If you're not careful, the press will turn you into the popstar equivalent of busty Jordan. We know it's not really your fault, it's the journos who are to blame for turning your ass into the megastar it's become. But you do encourage it. So, please Kylie, when you return this autumn, promise us that you'll try to get that booty of yours out of our heads. For your sake and ours."
