The 5 0'Clock News – Mon 17  May

Now you can go to bed with Beyonce. Sort of.
Getting into bed with Beyonce is something we imagine many men, and indeed ladies, of the planet would like to do - and now we all can. Well, sort of. Beyonce is designing a range of bedding and home furnishings with her mum Tina Knowles and is very excited about the project so far. The duvets, pillowcases and sheets are described as being a "vision of bold colours" and the ladies have used "mirrors, studs, sequins and rivets" on the designs. Sounds, ahem...nice. Nice and scratchy. Will you be Beyonce-ing up your boudoir any time soon, or do you think she should just stick to the music?

Gaga boy gets recording contract
The teenage boy who became a YouTube sensation after his rendition of Lady Gaga hit Paparazzi was posted online has been offered a recording contract. Greyson Chance, who is just 12 years old, was offered the contract by Interscope Records just one week after the video first appeared. He'd gone from an unknown talent to appearing on Ellen DeGeneres' US chat show and getting a call from Lady Gaga herself. Not too shabby. To watch his performance again, just click here. Is it worthy of a whole record contract? And what will Justin Bieber say?!

Avril and Brody declare their love on Twitter
We were still secretly hoping that Avril Lavigne would get back together with her cute troll-faced husband Dereck, but alas...it appears she's fallen well and truly in lurrrve with new boyfriend Brody Jenner. As well as sucking face in various clubs all over the US, Avril and Brody have now taken to declaring their mutual affection on Twitter, sending "I love you" messages back and forth. While we're happy that they're happy and all, we also wish they'd just GET A ROOM. It's like Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt all over again.

Heroes cancelled by NBC
US TV show Heroes has been cancelled by NBC. The sci-fi drama was about to go into production of its fifth season but the network have now decided to pull the plug, announcing the news to horrified fans this weekend. The show was arguably responsible for launching the careers of Hayden Panettiere (who plays Cheerleader Claire) and Zachary Quinto (who plays Sylar), but the recent series never managed the high audience figures the show pulled in at the beginning. Sadface. Are you bothered by this, or did you give up watching yonks ago?

    ok so I stopped watching Heroes because I forgot about it but how can it be cancelled when Lost has been going on for about 20 years.

    I can understand why Heroes was pulled, theres not much in the market for a complicated sci-fi drama. When there was an opening, Lost took the slot. Can't say I really liked either of them to be honest.

    Heroes is the best show on television :( Though it looks like NBC may be making a two-hour movie special to wrap up the storylines and such. I'd rather have a new season, but something is better than nothing I guess :(

    Aw, so glad that little lad has a record contract, he is genuinely amazing though. And what a nice way to be found, not a bloody reality tv show! Anyone that knocks Justin Beiber off his pedestal is good by me!
