| Fervent American Idol contestant Mandisa - who has just released a new gospel album - has revealed that she prays for TV’s 'Mr Nasty’ Simon Cowell. Asked whether the often withering Cowell was a matter for prayer in her life she replied: “Absolutely. All the time. I don’t think it’s a coincidence there have been so many Christians on American Idol. I think that it’s just for America to see, I think that it’s for all the judges as well. And so, I do pray for him and Randy and for Paula as well.” | |

| Sly Stallone said: “you have one small area with peasants being overwhelmed by this brutal military force. They are picked out because they are Christians.” In an interesting plot development Sly decided that for this movie John Rambo would be an atheist having - as a result of his previous experiences – ‘lost most of his humanity’. I wanted to do something more spiritual and visually interesting said Stallone. “Rambo thinks that God has forsaken him, so he lives in exile but there is one ray of hope for him because the missionaries all believe that people can be good. He doesn’t really believe this but there is something about him that wants to protect this group. In doing that he is given a purpose and he is reborn.” | |

| More work needs to be done to protect consumers from ticket touts, according to the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers (STAR). Although parts of the report have been welcomed by the organisation, it still feels there is more work to be done. Chairman of STAR Tom Wright CBE said: “Buyers beware. Getting resold tickets online can be just as risky as buying from strangers on the street. Customers sometimes have little or no protection nor guarantee that they will be getting what they have paid over the odds for and many have been disappointed” | |

| Newcastle has been branded a cultural desert in a new survey of the best and worst student towns in Britain. The league has been drawn up for an online guide called locallife, which rates places according to the number of facilities they have per 10,000 residents. Newcastle, a popular nightspot and place to live for Keele University undergraduates – has come second from bottom for its cultural life. This is despite being home to the borough’s Museum and art gallery, and having the New Vic Theatre on its doorstep. Only Hull fares worse in the table. Stoke-on-Trent does little better, with the sixth-lowest ranking for culture. The guide is also bad news for Staffordshire University students looking for a bite to eat in Stafford. The country town has a third-worst rating for the number of takeaways and off-licences. | |
