The Who planning new album and festival shows
British rockers The Who have begun mulling their next studio album, on the heels of 2006's "Endless Wire," their first new disc in 24 years.

According to a post on TheWho.com (http://www.thewho.com) from Pete Townshend, the band is considering working with producer T-Bone Burnett, who recently brought Robert Plant and Alison Krauss together for the commercial and critical hit album "Raising Sand."

"I am hoping to come up with some songs for a more conventional Who record," Townshend wrote, adding that Burnett "is an old friend of mine."

The Who may also play "some shows in the festival season this summer," Townshend said. "I would want to do that purely for fun, and I don't want to turn it into a big tour. I need to stay focused on my writing."

Paul McCartney's divorce: the computer game
A computer game based on the court case involving the divorce settlement between Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills has been released online.

The game, named "Mucca Chucka," involves players playing the part of Heather Mills.

Points are scored by throwing virtual water over depictions of Sir Paul McCartney and his lawyer, Fiona Shackleton, in scenes echoing the incident in which Mills threw water over Shackleton in court following Mills being awarded $48 million of McCartney's fortune.

Points are deducted on the Mucca Chucka game if a player hits a depiction of a judge by mistake. The more points a player scores, the more of Sir Paul McCartney's money the player wins.

The game can be found at Muccachucka.co.uk.
