* It’s been an important week for Elvis fans – marking the 35th anniversary of his death. The tributes are still as fervent as ever.

* There’s a new A-List in town – well, according to The Hollywood Reporter there is. Our favourite male stripper makes the cut.

* Green Day has debuted the video for their new single, Oh Love, which Billie Joe Armstrong has described as “very lustful”.

* The father-son relationship between South African musician Hugh Masekela and Sal, will be turned into a movie, with Oscar-winning producer Paul Haggis on board.
