WHOSE BOAT DOES THIS FLOAT?
A correspondent in Germany, knowing of our interest in the post-mortem market for celebrity body parts, has alerted us to an exhibition at the ZKM Media Museum in Karlsruhe, featuring an installation by Diemut Strebe titled Sugababe. On her own website, Strebe writes:

Interestingly, the opening for Sugababe coincided in both time and space with a lecture by Noam Chomsky on US foreign policy. We wonder if Noam had a private little chat with Sugababe?
