Actor Gareth Hunt, star of The New Avengers, has died of pancreatic cancer aged 65, his agent has announced. Hunt played the role of Mike Gambit in the TV series, alongside Joanna Lumley's Purdey and Patrick McNee as John Steed. Lumley paid tribute to her 'dear friend' who she said was 'loved by everyone who knew him'. We also particularly enjoyed him from his 'Illuminated suit' in the PSB video 'It Couldn't Happen Here' and maybe he would state now: '...its only a laugh...no harm done...'! R.I.P Mr. Gareth Hunt, thanks for all!

It is not Neil Tennant but his voice is so similar. The German fan Chris Kalera did a cover of 'Run Girl Run' - just for fun. He put the result on MySpace to let us enjoy listening to him and show us how a version of this great song -by Neil Tennant- could sound like. Enjoy: http://www.myspace.com/chriskalera

KooLTURE is an Argentine artist who has recently covered “Heart”, an original song by Pet Shop Boys (Actually, 1987). As this covered version was nicely welcome by petheads from all over the world, KooLTURE decided to launch a promotional cd with remixes of his version of Heart. In this cd (not for sale) you can find mixes by Sygma (important Dj and producer from Rome), Sgoliat, Lesvicon Soul, Technoman SF, Ladies On Mars and Alfredo Norese (well known producers from Argentina). Copies will be distributed among DJ’s, clubs and radios from Argentina and several countries of Europe like Spain, Germany, Italy, UK, Holland, France and others as from late March. KooLTURE will be also a featured artist on an electronic compilation charity album expected to go on sale this summer.

Warner Music wird im Mai das Konzert, welches die Jungs im letzten Herbst auf ihrer Tour in Mexico City gespielt haben, auf einer Doppel-DVD veröffentlichen. Die Veröffentlichung wird voraussichtlich am 18. oder 25. Mai in Deutschland erscheinen - also praktisch noch rechtzeitig, wenn die Eindrücke der Konzert-Tournee durch deutsche Hallen noch nicht verklungen sind. Die DVD wird neben dem Konzertvideo noch eine zweite DVD mit einigen Specials beinhalten.
