What we love, we're not sure about, we're dying and can't wait for...

Take That star Mark Owen said he was "thrilled" after he confirmed he is the third member of the band set to become a father this year.

Robbie Williams is to become a father, as he announced his wife Ayda is pregnant.

For all their scream-inducing skills, British boy bands such as Take That consistently failed to colonise the bedroom walls of America's teenage girls.

Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, who clearly has a difficult time buying into the theory that bankers should spend all their time apologising, is back on his high horse. At a conference organised by Goldman Sachs – and presumably therefore to a receptive audience – Dimon was scathing about the ongoing protests about the distribution of wealth. "Acting like everyone who's been successful is bad and that everyone who is rich is bad. I just don't get it."

Take That have announced their latest single 'When We Were Young'.

An unemployed man who accused X Factor judge Louis Walsh of groping him in a nightclub has appeared in court charged with inventing the story.

X Factor judge Louis Walsh welcomed the news yesterday that Irish police have dropped an investigation into an accusation of an alleged indecent assault.

If you’re feeling at a low ebb this afternoon then a quick blast of Take That might be just the thing to sort you out according to new scientific research.

To the extravagant surrounds of the Savoy Ballroom for the Universal Brits After Party. The £400,000 party was allegedly paid for by Take That as a way of celebrating their "best group" gong.

Nineties boy band Blue will represent the UK at this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Germany, it was announced yesterday.

Has there ever been a better time for girls who like to scream during pop concerts? Examine the evidence. Take That's "comeback" album, Progress, has just become the "fastest-selling album of the century", shifting 235,000 units in two days. Last week, there were new albums from Westlife and JLS. Simon Cowell's One Direction, meanwhile, appear to be building up an unstoppable head of scream with every passing week on The X Factor, while New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys, the two biggest boy bands of all time, are currently in talks for a comeback tour together. This is a golden age for boy bands in all their finite and formulaic forms.

For most of its 14 tracks, Outta This World is boy-band R&B at its most formulaic, tracks like "That's My Girl" and over-autotuned opener "The Club Is Alive" ticking along meekly, with the boys simpering in the required manner through "Love You More", balladry so mechanical you can virtually hear the conveyor-belt trundling around.

Can the Williams wink add anything to the Barlow balladry and the Owen honesty?
