Pink asked for ID at own gig

Pop star Pink was surprised to be asked for ID to get into her own dressing room before a gig in Britain.

The American singer was performing at the National Indoor Arena (NIC) in Birmingham on Friday and Saturday when a security guard apparently failed to recognise her.

She wrote on her Twitter feed on Friday morning: "The security guy just carded me for my laminate to get into my dressing room. Now THAT'S some funny s***."

No-one at the NIC was available for comment.

The gig was part of Pink's Funhouse tour, in which she performs hits such as Get the Party Started and Who Knew.

She appeared to be happy with last night's show, tweeting afterwards: 'yaye Birmingham!!!!! you guys and gals were awesome tonight!!! you made my halloween :) thanks. nice costumes, too.'

Rating 3

Whether you believe or don't, this album's jams and charms work and the mix of traditional songs, spirituals, soul and curveball covers makes you want to buy a ticket for the next gig.

There isn't a dull moment

Dizzee Rascal - Tongue N' Cheek

Rating 4

An unembarrassed play for the mainstream, and luckily Dizzee has pulled it out of the bag to deliver an excellent album that shouldn't alienate too many of his diehard fans.

Everyone shines

8 Ball - With All Your Friends

As catchy as it is quirky and as cuddly as the cartoon characters on the back cover.
