The Sex Pistols, a ’70s British punk band, were infamous for their anti-monarchy song God Save the Queen, but now singer John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) reportedly "would like to make a documentary showing the 'good side' of the royal family."

Singer Natalie Imbruglia says Prince Harry is “a fabulous dancer.”
(Read about Prince Harry’s apparent fondness for pop music — and his rumored romance with Imbruglia.)
What happened to Saudi’s royal rapper?
(Watch the video embedded in the article — it’s good. And it is definitely R&B, not rap.)
Britain’s Prince Harry is obviously a big music fan. When he isn’t flying military helicopters, riding motorcycles, or stumbling out of nightclubs wearing pink nail polish, the prince can often be found attending concerts and/or flirting with pretty female singers.
So let’s take a look at some of the musicians Harry has favored with his royal attention recently. (I know he probably has an iPod, not a jukebox, but I’m feeling old school today, so please humor me.)
BASEMENT JAXX: Wikipedia informs me that this is a house music duo (electronic dance music). Supposedly Prince Harry dressed up in a gorilla suit to join them onstage in July. Sample Basement Jaxx video: U Don’t Know Me (warning: it depicts the Queen engaging in some, um, rather scandalous behavior).
NATASHA BEDINGFIELD: It’s being claimed that Prince Harry and the British pop singer have been secretly working on plans for a huge charity concert. Sample Natasha Bedingfield video: Pocketful of Sunshine (Simlish version — that’s the language spoken by characters in “The Sims” video games).
THE KILLERS: Harry reportedly hung out backstage with the pop-rock group in June. Sample Killers video: Spaceman (very New Wave).
NATALIE IMBRUGLIA: There have been lots of rumors this year that Harry has been dating the Australian singer-actress. Sample Natalie Imbruglia video: Wild About It (this video is allegedly based on the “kind of house party that Harry” enjoys).
DIZZEE RASCAL: Harry’s behavior during a backstage visit prompted this rapper to say, “If you weren’t royalty I’d have punched you in the face by now.” Sample Dizzee Rascal video: Bonkers (it makes me want to punch myself in the face).
Was Monaco’s singing princess Stephanie really the “Mystery Girl” who recorded “In the Closet” with Michael Jackson? Wikipedia thinks so, but Rolling Stone isn’t so sure. Does anyone out there have the answer to this musical mystery?
