Cheryl Cole is currently working on her new record and is being aided by Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am. Now however tabloid reports are pairing Cheryl Cole and David Guetta together for Cheryl’s new album. A source has told The Daily Mail of the collaboration project:

“Cheryl will be a top solo star in the US, if Will has anything to do with it. The man is so well connected, and he sleeps, breathes and eats music. He has a studio at home in which he is trying out new sounds for Cheryl. He wants the best and is very picky. David is an old friend and has produced some of the best dance anthems of the past few years, so it’s a good place to start.”

Earlier this month, a statement on the official website for the Reading and Leeds Festival announced that flags were not allowed to be brought into the main arena, in order to allow ticket holders the best possible view.

Some have opposed the ban, claiming that the wave of colours was a main feature of the festivals, and that the flags had some practical implications such as being used as a meeting point in the sea of people. However, others may be thrilled with the flag ban, especially those who have had their views obstructed by flags in the past.

Now it seems Glastonbury may implement the flag ban next year after conversations were held between Michael Eavis, the Glastonbury festival chief, and Melvin Benn, the head of Festival Republic.

Melvin Benn, who runs the Reading and Leeds Festivals and also helps to organise Glastonbury, reflected on this year’s Glastonbury festival, which was held in June, and claimed that there was poor visibility of the acts on stage because of the number of flags.

Melvin Benn continued to say that there had always been flags at festivals but not to the extent as now, where flags had become very long and tall and there were more flags now than ever before.

For now, no official decision on a flag ban at Glastonbury has been made, and despite some protests against the flag ban at the Reading and Leeds Festival 2009, event organisers have failed to respond.

Despite the summer months coming to an end marking the end of the festival season, there are still plenty of festivals to look forward to in the UK.

Of course, the Reading and Leeds Festival is still to come, taking place at Reading Richfield Avenue and Leeds Bramham Park from August 28-30, headlined by Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead and Kings of Leon.

However if dance is more your taste in music, you can check out Creamfields 2009 which takes place at the Halston Daresbury Estate from August 29-30 where you can catch Basement Jaxx, Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris in action.

Get Loaded In The Park is one of the last of the biggest festivals that take place in the capital, and is happening at London Clapham Common on August 30, featuring Orbital, Royksopp, VV Brown, and a DJ set from Pendulum.

Bestival 2009 is one of the last festivals to feature some chart-toppping acts such as Elbow, Massive Attack, Lily Allen, Florence and the Machine, and Little Boots. Bestival 2009 is taking place at the Isle of Wight Robin Hill Adventure Park from September 11-13.

Calvin Harris has entered this week's album chart at number one with Ready For The Weekend.

This week’s number one album saw a battle between two of this year’s successful artists: Calvin Harris and Tinchy Stryder.

It was Ready For The Weekend by Calvin Harris that came out on top whilst Catch 22 by Tinchy Stryder had to settle for the number two slot.

Both artists have enjoyed much chart success recently. Calvin Harris, who stormed the charts with his collaboration with Dizzee Rascal on Dance Wiv Me, has rarely been seen out of the charts since.

Meanwhile, Tinchy Stryder already has two number one singles to his name. The single Never Leave You featuring Amelle Berrabah from the Sugababes is the number three single this week having hit the number one spot in its first week. The single Number One, which was a collaboration with N-Dubz, is now spending its 18th week in the top 40.

Another act who is hanging around in the charts is Beyonce with the album I Am Sasha Fierce, which is spending its 40th week in the chart and is this week’s number three album.

All these acts who have enjoyed album chart success this week are also gearing up for their forthcoming UK tours.

You can catch Calvin Harris live at Creamfields 2009, which takes place at the Halton Daresbury Estate over the weekend of August 29-30.

Then the Calvin Harris tour kicks off at the Norwich UEA LCR on October 15 and will be stopping off at the Leeds O2 Academy (October 21), Manchester Academy (October 24), London HMV Forum (October 28) and the Glasgow O2 Academy (November 4).

Dizzee Rascal is hoping for another number one single after planning to release a second collaboration with Calvin Harris, taken from the new upcoming album Tongue N Cheek.

Their previous collaboration Dance Wiv Me spent four weeks at number one when it was released in June 2008.

Dizzee Rascal describes how their number one hit inspired the collaboration to happen for the second time, with Calvin Harris producing the song Holiday.

Calvin Harris sent Dizzee Rascal a few songs but only one of them stuck, which Dizzee Rascal put the lyrics to and believes this one will also get an amazing reception from music fans.

Holiday will be released as a single at the end of August, just before the new album Tongue N Cheek is released on September 7.

Tongue N Cheek will also feature the recent number one single Bonkers, which was a collaboration with Armand Van Helden.

Dizzee Rascal claims he was surprised Bonkers was a success, and got an even bigger reaction than Dance Wiv Me when played live for the first time, even though Dance Wiv Me was number one at the time.

Dizzee Rascal fans can catch him in action in many summer festivals as well as his UK tour.

Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris will be at T4 On The Beach at Weston Super Mare Beach on July 19.

Dizzee Rascal will also appear at the V Festival taking place at the Chelmsford Hylands Park and Shifnal Weston Park (August 22-23), and Creamfields 2009 taking place at the Halton Daresbury Estate (August 29-30).
