The video for Robbie Williams' new duet with Kylie Minogue has been censored by Britain's Top of the Pops TV show because of the nature of some of its lyrics.
The video for Kids will have its world premiere on the show tonight but will not be screened in its entirety because of a reference to sodomy.
Williams' previous video, for the No 1 hit Rock DJ, was also cut by the BBC because it showed scenes which were deemed too violent for younger viewers.
*Madonna may be hedging her bets about marriage but she's delighted with the huge diamond ring - her first ever - she got from British film director-boyfriend Guy Ritchie.
"I had absolutely no idea," Madonna told Us Weekly. "I never liked big rocks on my finger. Well, I do now."
But asked whether a Christmas wedding was on the cards, as predicted by British newspapers, Madonna replied: "I wouldn't say it's an engagement ring - at least not right now. We talk about marriage but we can't decide whether it's something that's necessary."
Ritchie, aged 31, director of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, gave Madonna the ring the day she brought new baby Rocco home from hospital after he spent a week in intensive care. It was also Madonna's 42nd birthday.
*Troubled Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher plan to put aside recent differences and attend their grandmother's funeral together.

*Two of the most respected names in Hollywood - Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg - are to team up.

Scorsese will direct the movie, which is to be called Into the Setting Sun, and Spielberg will produce it through his DreamWorks studios.
