Entertainment news round up: Morrissey novel is amusing, at least

SINGER Morrissey has released his first novel, after months of anticipation, and social media has erupted in amusement and incredulity.

List Of The Lost, released two years after his memoirs, Autobiography, is the story of an American relay team cursed by a demon. Furious diatribes against MARGARET THATCHER, meat-eaters, and the royal family are littered throughout the book, but a sex scene has everyone talking. Readers have taken to Twitter to share their amusement at Morrissey’s description of his male hero’s erection as a “bulbous salutation”. The 128-page novel reportedly revives many of the themes present in The Smiths lyrics since the 1980s.

Two of the world’s most iconic female rockers are taking to the stage during Milan Fashion Week. COURTNEY LOVE and DEBBIE HARRY are headlining on the sidelines of the six-day run of fashion previews for next spring and summer. Love sent the audacious German designer Philipp Plein’s catwalk reverberating, as fashion week kicked off, while Harry performs this weekend at the amfAR charity auction to raise money for Aids research.
