I feel like I am neglecting my blog! When I started it, I had all intentions of reporting all interesting entertainment news, however it seems that it has turned into my own personal ramblings about various entertainment-related issues. So let's wrap up the week in entertainment news:
1) U2 has been replaced at Glastonbury Festival by animated group "Gorillaz". This announcement comes following U2 frontman Bono's back surgery a few days ago. The aging rocker appears to have sustained an injury while on tour. (Yes, I just called Bono an aging rocker, because yes, he is aging, and no, I am not a fan of U2)
2) Lee DeWyze has won season 9 of American Idol. I had not been following this season at all (well, I don't exactly have DSTV in my flat, ya know!), but I knew who the finalists were through the endlessly useful Trending Topics list on Twitter. It seems that runner-up Crystal Bowersox was the more talented of the two, but DeWyze won the hearts of the public. Not all the public, though; American Idol experienced a 16% drop in viewership this season finale. Well, after 9 seasons, just how interesting can a show be? Don't get the wrong impression though, I have nothing but respect for American Idol after seeing it discover the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry and Adam Lambert.
