• The Black Eyed Peas have unveiled the release date for their brand new album, 'The Beginning.' The LP, which will feature production by David Guetta, DJ Ammo and Will.I Am himself, will be on shelves on November 30th, with the lead single blasting out in early October. Whether or not it'll be able to surpass the sales of previous super album 'The E.N.D.' which attained sales that certified it as double planintum in the USA and which featured the 6x platinum selling 'I Gotta Feeling,' remains to be seen...so far it's looking good though and after their previous success this album is bound to sell.

• MTV has commissioned a pilot episode for an American version of the UK smash TV hit, 'The Inbetweeners.' According to 'Deadline,' casting for the US version has already begun to find new versions of the UK stars of the critically acclaimed comedy. David Janollari, the executive vice president of MTV who deals with scripted development has stated that "The Inbetweeners is one of the best comedies to come out of the UK in years,"and went on to praise its portrayal of teenage "coming of age" plot lines, suggesting that they would be perfect for MTV's core demographic. Iain Morris and Damon Beesley, the creators of the UK series have agreed to be the executive producers for the MTV pilot...but let's face it...it'll never be as good as the UK version.

• Tack-tastic model Katie Price has been found guilty of being out of control of her pink horsebox vehicle when it veered into another lane, resulting in her facing a fine amounting to £1665. The former glamour model turned business woman/reality star has denied that she was using her phone when the incident took place, and claimed that she wasn't used to the size of the box. When appearing in court, Price claimed that the incident occured "Because I'm a typical woman driver. I'm just not used to a lorry that big. I was probably a bit scared because it was on a motorway. I don't remember veering but it is quite difficult." Strong defence...Police officers who were present at the time gave evidence claiming that Price was seen clutching a mobile for 3 seconds which may have been enough time to distract the driver. We're sure Price will be able to fork out the fine...we just wonder why nothing smashed into that hideous pink horse box...
