Kate Moss' next career move revealed as she lands new presenting role
Kate Moss ' next career move has been revealed as she's landed a brand new presenting role hosting a BBC Radio 6 series on late singer David Bowie. The model, 51, will host an eight-part podcast series called David Bowie: Changeling, which will explore David's artistic evolution between 1970-1975. The show will feature rare and unheard archive interviews from the Under Pressure hitmaker, who died of liver cancer aged 69 back in 2016. While it will also feature new interviews from those who knew and were inspired by the performer including Boy George, Chrissie Hynde, Dave Gahan, Edward Enninful, Elton John, Goldie, Iggy Pop, Harris Reed, Robbie Williams and Twiggy. Speaking of her new project, Kate said in a statement: 'David Bowie was a very special person. Someone who was much more than a friend - he was an enigma. 'So, when the chance came to dive into this extraordinary five-year chapter of Bowie's life for 6 Music and BBC Sounds, hearing from those who joined him on his creative journey and those he continues to inspire, I was excited to help share the story of such an incredible transformation. 'This podcast is a real celebration of my friend, a true British icon.' The podcast will feature an exclusive interview from 2001 with podcast creator Des Shaw, in addition to a recently unearthed audio from the BBC Archive. While archive chats from the likes of Lady Gaga, Sinéad O'Connor, Lou Reed, Tracey Emin will also be heard by fans. Episodes of the show will also explore Bowie's early performances with The Hype, his fascination with artist Andy Warhol and the creation of The Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars. The legacy of David's iconic Ziggy Stardust persona will also be looked at. Kate and David were close friends for around a decade before his sad death. Back in 2016, the year of his passing, Kate revealed David made fun of her because she couldn't get into his outfits. She admitted in an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music that the late musical icon was so slim that even she couldn't fit into his clothes.

Asked if the claims were true, Kate was quick to quip: 'Yeah, it didn't fit me! 'When I saw him after that he was like "mmm, I heard the clothes didn't fit." All right, rubbing it in!' she hilariously continued. Still, there were some things she could wear and one memorable occasion, the Croydon-born beauty channelled her inner David Bowie in one of his famous looks as she picked up an award for best British male at the BRITS in 2014. He originally donned the leotard-style garment while appearing at London's Rainbow Theatre in Finsbury Park on August 19, 1972.

Are you ready, are you ready for... the Super Cup? I have been listening to a lot of Elton John lately - his music is literally in my ears as I type this opening post - so I thought I would incorporate some of his music into the blog. Why not? It's a feel-good tune, and boy, do I feel good about what we have in store for you tonight. We had the English football curtain raiser on Sunday, now it's time for the opening scene of the European football show. Let's hope we are in for an entertaining start, like we were at Wembley. Last season's Champions League winners, PSG, take on the reigning Europa League champions Tottenham (yes, they really did win a trophy last season) at the Blunergy Stadium in Udine, Italy. Pre-season is well and truly over now, folks; this is where the fun truly begins. Grab yourself a drink, some snacks, and enjoy the show.

Taylor Swift set to collaborate with HUGE star from beyond the grave - as pop megastar announces new album The Life Of A Showgirl
She has performed with some of the world's biggest living artists including Stevie Nicks, Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Timberlake. Now Taylor Swift, 35, is taking it one step further collaborating with a huge star from beyond the grave. In a leaked photograph of the vinyl sleeve for her forthcoming 12th album The Life of a Showgirl there are twelve songs listed. Included in the apparent list is a reimagined version of his 1987 track Father Figure by none other than the late George Michael, who is credited as a writer on the track which bears the same name as his song but features new lyrics. The track is also written by pop product and longtime Swift collaborator Max Martin, who Taylor has cryptically confirmed she is working with by curating a playlist of all the tracks they have collaborated on to tease the new album. George, who died aged 58 on Christmas Day 2016, wouldn't be the first music icon to have inspired the Shake It Off singer. Included in the leaked playlist is a reimagined version of his 1987 track Father Figure by none other than the late George Michael Taylor previously credited Right Said Fred on Look What You Made Me Do, which she described as an 'interpolation' of their song. The track's credits list three members of Right Said Fred - Richard Fairbrass, Fred Fairbrass and Rob Manzoli - as songwriters alongside Taylor and Jack Antonoff. After the song was released, the I'm To Sexy singers tweeted: 'Thank you Taylor Swift, what a marvelous reinvention!' With 1.3 billion streams globally the song have resulted in the duo receiving a fortune in royalties for the song. George Michael's estate is also likely to be in for a windfall from the collaboration with Taylor Swift experts predict the new album will be her most lucrative to date, following her record-breaking Era Tour which ended in December last year. R&B ballad Father Figure featured on George's debut studio album Faith in 1987. It alluded to his life as a gay man who had not yet declared his sexuality and was operating during a homophobic time in the music industry and wider society. Journalist Barry Walters sad it 'established Michael both as a nuanced grown-up and as a skilled singer-songwriter, able to intertwine racy innuendo and romantic steadfastness'. It comes as Taylor's boyfriend Travis Kelce shared a clip of her announcing the new LP on his podcast. 'So I wanted to show you something,' Taylor said in a clip as she sat next to Travis. Then she pulled out a white case with 'TS' written on the side in orange block letters. 'This is my brand-new album, The Life Of A Showgirl,' Taylor said proudly as she held up a vinyl version of the album, which was censored in the video. Travis' brother Jason Kelce let out a piercing scream of joy as soon as the album title escaped her lips. 'TS 12!' Travis cheered excitedly, referencing The Life Of A Showgirl's status as her twelfth studio album, as the announcement clip came to an abrupt end. Fans may be forced to wait until the New Heights episode drops on Wednesday to see an uncensored version of the album artwork. Taylor's website was back online, it had transformed into a 'pre pre-order' store for the upcoming album. She was offering a $30 vinyl version of the album, a $13 CD that came with a double-sided poster decorated on either side with photos of the hitmaker and a $20 cassette version designed to appeal to fans with a retro streak. Each display featured a heavily blurred version of what appeared to be the album cover, and the description promised that the various formats would have unique cover designs.
