The hottest event of the summer, T4 On The Beach sponsored by Aygo by Toyota, returns once again to the golden sands of Weston-super-Mare to celebrate its 10th birthday. The T4 team are already busy making preparations to descend on the seaside resort on 1st July. As always they will be joined by the biggest and best pop stars, hottest urban acts and tens of thousands of screaming T4 fans.

Last year's T4 On The Beach was a sell out yet again. In total, 25 incredible acts took to the T4 stage including The Wanted, N-Dubz, Olly Murs, Ed Sheeran, Example and Jason Derulo. Hosted by the T4 presenters, there will also be special appearances from cast members from Channel 4's best loved programmes. Tickets for this year's show will go on sale in March with artist announcements to follow. For information on tickets and to sign up to the newsletter see www.channel4.com/t4 and Twitter @T4witter.

It is the eighth time the show will take place in Weston-super-Mare but the 10th birthday of the event. Over the last decade, masses of top music acts have graced the T4 stage such as Lily Allen, Busta Rhymes, Akon, Girls Aloud, Sugababes, JLS, Tinchy Stryder, Dizzee Rascal, Kaiser Chiefs, Florence + The Machine, Will Young, Neyo, Plan B and Kelly Rowland.

Neil McCallum, Head of T4 & Music said: 'T4 On The Beach is going to be a really special one this year as it's the tenth anniversary show. We've got loads of exciting acts to announce over the coming months and we think this year's line-up will be the best yet.

'We love coming to Weston-super-Mare each year and the summer just wouldn't be the same without T4 On The Beach. Line-up announcements and any news will be announced first via our Twitter feed so make sure you're following us at T4witter.'

The artist line up and details on how to get your tickets will be announced through the Channel 4 website www.channel4.com/t4, at @t4witter and on the T4 Facebook page.

Sinead O'Connor has admitted that she was overdosing when she put out the plea on Twitter Wednesday for medical help. She told the Sun ""I took an overdose. God obviously wants me around, though I can't think why."

Madonna doesn't mince words about Lady Gaga in an interview with Newsweek. She said her reaction upon hearing Gaga's Born This Way and noticing the similarities to her own Express Yourself, "I thought, 'What a wonderful way to redo my song.' I mean, I recognized the chord changes. I thought it was. interesting."
She actually does like the singer, whom she considers much like herself. On this week's Graham Norton Show, she says "When I first saw her, I was really impressed by her and she was cool. She did remind me of me back in the day. I do think she is very talented."

The Beach Boys have a drummer lined up for their 50th Anniversary Tour. They'll bring back old stand-by from their 90's tours, actor John Stamos.

Harry Connick, Jr. starts a four week run next Wednesday as Mariska Hargitay's love interest on Law & Order: SVU. He may want to see if he can stretch that job out a bit longer as his current job on Broadway, starring in the revival of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, will close on January 29. In total, the show will have played 29 preview and 57 regular performances.

Peter Criss, former drummer for KISS, and Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa, Missing Persons) will be inducted as Drum Legends by the Guitar Center retail chain. They will be honored on January 14.

Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter and Martha Quinn have signed with Atria Books (Simon & Schuster) for a new book detailing the behind the scenes activities of the original MTV veejays. The fifth of the original crew, J.J. Jackson, died in 2004.
