Welcome to the Daily Gossip: your daily stop-off to find out who in the world of music has been up to what.
Today’s top gossip:
Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson is rumoured to be making his acting debut in the latest St Trinian's film, 'The Legend of Fritton's Gold'. Sources say the singer is set to play the boyfriend of Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding's character in the flick, which is due to be released this December. The source claimed: "Ricky was perfect [for the role]. He's really sending himself up as an obsessed bloke." They added that there won't be any sex scenes filmed between the two because Harding's character is "in school, after all" (Daily Mirror).
