You are - and never forget it.
Right that's your lot for today. Scroll down for news of Bieber's premature end to his tour, Arcade Fire lifting their ban on non hipster clothing at their gig and Rihanna on life as a shape-shifting alien (she loves it).
Plus Liam Gallagher is left with nothing to watch now that Love Island is over and birthday boy (now at least, Down Under) Stormzy surely has a hangover on the way...
It's another superstar, Thurston Moore's 59th b'day today, so we'll leave you with his band's haunting cover of The Carpenters (above).
See you tomorrow baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...

Quincy Jones v the Michael Jackson estatepublished at 12:55 BST 25 July 2017
The Hollywood Reporter
Image source, Getty Images
The jury have started deliberations in LA in a court case involving Quincy Jones and the estate of Michael Jackson.
The music producer says he's owed $30 million by the estate, while Jackson's estate says it is closer to $400,000.
Jones claims that after the singer's death he has missed out on millions of dollars in royalties and denied the opportunity to remix works he created with Jackson.
Jackson's estate says that accounting errors did cause the music producer to be underpaid but put the figure at $392,000.
Jones is arguing that he should get a share in profits from the This Is It documentary as it counts as a "videoshow" under his contract, but Michael Jackson's estate says that term is only used for music videos so the film doesn't count.

Alice Cooper finds long lost Warholpublished at 12:32 BST 25 July 2017
Image source, PA
Most of us would be happy to find a tenner we'd forgotten about but Alice Cooper has found an Andy Warhol silk screen print thought to be worth $10m in an old storage locker he owns.
The discovery came after his manager Shep Gordon had dinner with an art dealer and they talked about Warhol's work and it reminded Shep that Alice had been given a Warhol piece a long time ago.
Cooper and Warhol were friends in the 1970s and his girlfriend bought him a print of an electric chair because his tour at the time saw Alice electrocuted every night on an electric chair.
Alice was constantly on tour at the time and then went into rehab so his entire flat was put in storage.
Image source, Getty Images
So 40 years later after a few months digging through his all his belongings in storage it was found rolled up in a tube with nothing to indicate what it was.
Shep says Alice doesn't know what to do with it and may donate it to a museum.
You can listen to Shep tell the full story to Rhod Sharp here (go to 48 minutes in).
Alice’s new album Paranormal is out this Friday and you can hear a taster of the album below...

Motorhead are set to release an album of cover versions including a previously unreleased version of David Bowie's Heroes.
That track was recorded during the Bad Magic sessions in 2015 and was one of the last songs the band recorded together before Lemmy died from cancer in December that year.
Guitarist Phil Campbell says Lemmy loved it.
Quote Message
It’s such a great Bowie song, one of his best, and I could only see great things coming out of it from us, and so it proved to be, and Lemmy ended up loving our version."
Drummer Mikkey Dee says Lemmy was "very, very proud of it"
“Not only because it turned out so well but because it was fun! Which is what projects like this should be - fun!”
Under Cöver will be released in September and includes their versions of the Sex Pistols' God Save the Queen (below), The Ramones' Rockaway Beach, Judas Priest's Breaking the Law and Metallica's Whiplash, which they won a Grammy for in 2005 for Best Metal Performance.

Arcade Fire revoke 'hip and trendy' dress code demandspublished at 11:12 BST 25 July 2017
Image source, EPA
Montreal indie rockers Arcade Fire release their long-awaited fifth album Everything Now on Friday.
To mark this fact they're hosting a pre-album launch party in Brooklyn on Thursday, for which ticket-holders were emailed some rather bizarre instructions/information about how to dress and what to expect on the night.
The email said that a "hip and trendy" dress code would be enforced and that all phones would be seized and secured in Yondr pouches for the duration of the 30 minute performance.
Turns out it's all part of one of the most confusing, satirical and exhausting marketing campaigns for any album in recent memory.
In a new statement the band have confirmed that fans can actually "wear whatever they want", that the gig will run at "normal length" and that phones won't be taken away (though they are still keen on the phone-free viewing experience).

Check out the full statement above which is signed by Tannis Wright, the "social media manager for Everything Now Co."
We fully expect that name to turn out to be an anagram for some political message...or something.
All trivia aside we can't wait for the album to arrive. This is what we've decided to wear to the MNL office on Friday to get us in the mood.

The former Oasis singer and now solo star confessed to indie station Radio X that he watched the ITV2 show every night.
He doesn't seem to know why exactly but he's been an addict...

I like it man, but I don’t truly understand the bit where they’ve got to kip on the floor, outside. I’m just into the fact that it’s [rubbish], you know what I mean? It’s just stupid. I’m not getting anything out of it. I’m not learning anything out of it, it’s just on."
He then went on to apportion the blame to girlfriend Debbie.
He added: "It’s not my doing, it’s Debbie’s doing. I’ve only got one TV in the house. She’s the boss when it comes to that. I have Saturdays and Sundays with the football, and now there’s no football on, it becomes Debbie’s TV.
"So Love Island it is. But I’m into it, actually, so it’s alright. It’s good to talk about it. There’s a lot of guys out there now, thinking, sitting there thinking, 'thanks for that, mate'. It’s good, mate. Love Island’s where it’s at.
