Yesterday, we left you with Mick Jagger strutting his stuff in an empty Croke Park now 64-year-old actor John Travolta has been showing that he's still got some moves too, on stage alongside rapper 50 Cent.

All be it "drunk uncle dancing at a wedding" moves.

The Pulp Fiction, Saturday Night Fever and Grease actor was inexplicably invited on stage by the hip hop star and former Bitcoin enthusiast, at the Cannes film festival.

Earlier in the evening, Travolta had been strutting the red carpet with Fiddy and his family, en route to the premiere of new crime drama movie Gotti.

As you can see, the rap star slipped into something more comfortable to perform whereas JT was happy to trip the light fantastic in his tux.

It's his second bizarre public appearance of recent weeks after he joined Foo Fighters on stage, briefly, to wave at the crowd then walk off.

Rapper-cum-philosopher Kanye West has been buried away in the studio over the past few weeks, working on his new album.

So far we've heard previews of two new tracks; firstly Ye vs The people, on which the Chicago rapper argues in favour of his "brother" Donald Trump, over a sample of motown legends The Four Tops.

And secondly; Lift Yourself, which saw the rapper spit out genius verses like; "Poopy-di scoop / Scoop-diddy-whoop."

Now he's treated us to a drum loop, which you can sample below.

Looks like the "kids" have got more work done than "Ye", if the white board is anything to go by.

Yeezy previously tweeted that his eighth studio album would drop on 1 June and he's used the phrase 'Love Everyone' a lot lately - so that's a potential title.

Oh. and if you've been trying to text him of late there's an explanation below as to why he's not been returning your calls.

Good idea Ye, focus on the music rather than the tweets.

It was mixed reviews from fans and critics alike when Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino dropped on Friday and it seems Noel doesn't know what to make of it either.

Photos from the scene of Kurt Cobain‘s suicide in 1994 will remain sealed a US court has decided.

A journalist who has spent 23 years investigating the Nirvana singer's death had tried to have them released to the public.

In 2014, Richard Lee sued the city of Seattle to try and release the photos which, according to court documents, show “Kurt Cobain’s body as it lay in the family residence after he was shot in the head.”

Lee believes Kurt was killed as a result of a government conspiracy.

He lost his action in 2015, but filed an appeal last year.

In 2016, Kurt's widow - singer and actress Courtney Love - accused Lee of exploiting his death claiming he had “stalked and harassed me, my family, and my friends for many, many years."

Meanwhile, according to TMZ, external, Kurt's acoustic guitar, which he famously played on Nirvana's MTV Unplugged (pictured above) is to go to the ex-husband of his daughter Frances Bean Cobain.

She has reportedly settled her divorce with Isaiah Silva, her husband of two years, and the instrument will go to him.

She will retain their house in Los Angeles.

While Dua Lipa is out enjoying (and almost live bloggin) her holiday with her pals, the rest of us, sadly, have work to do.

Like telling you how Cardi B is the latest to come out in defence of the controversial Rita Ora song, Noel Gallagher has given his view on the new Arctic Monkeys record and some lucky devil has ended up with Kurt Cobain's classic 'unplugged' guitar.

Plus live music action from the likes of the Manics and Gwenno from last night's Welsh-themed latest episode of Jools Holland.

OK, so whether your reading from the side of the pool in your exotic sun-drenched villa or, like us, from an office below slightly overcast skies, let's get right to it.
