Tough times for Matt Cardle, Pete Doherty, Westwood and more
- And finally, Black Sabbath attempted to rewrite history this week as drummer Bill Ward was erased from all photos on the band's website following a disagreement over his role on the band's current tour.

After months of shivering and slopping around in wet socks, summer finally hit the UK this week. Pub-goers spilled onto the streets and tabloid photographers headed to the coast to take photos of girls in bikinis larking around in the sea. Yes indeed, the great British summertime has arrived.
