I first linked to a Norweigan article about it on 08/07, but now it's being carried elsewhere: ex-Aqua singer Lene Nystrøm punched out Danish record producer Jens Otto Paludan at his 40th birthday party after he reportedly made comments on her 'seductive dance moves' (as MTVE.com puts it). Her debut album "Play With Me" comes out soon and she will be posing for Playboy in the near future. "However I don't undress completely," she told BT magazine. "But I feel comfortable with doing that right now, because I've never felt better, physically and mentally. I have trained very much, two hours every morning with a personal trainer, and never felt that I looked so good in a bikini."

Check this out for profiles on a number of the Norweigan artists appearing at this year's Popkomm in Cologne, Germany. All four bands featured (x.lover, Silver, The Ricochets and Helldorado) are set to play a free show at the Underground Club there on August 14.
