Hell yeah!
Sting is writing a new musical called The Last Ship, which kinda sounds like a horror movie. Wait, no, that was Ghost Ship. Whatever!
Here's a bit about it, but there is NO official synopsis yet. Bummer:
The Last Ship features music and lyrics written by Sting and a book by Yorkey, who will direct the production, according to a casting breakdown being sent around. No official synopsis was provided, though the character descriptions indicate that the production is set in the city of Newcastle in the 1980s.
Lead character Gideon is said to be a "charismatic, charming, cynical, worldly-wise" man in his thirties, who is "quick to buy a round or throw a fist" but "slow to open his heart." He is a Newcastle native. The Last Ship is in early stages, in a "throw it up against the wall and see what sticks" phase.
"Sting's first foray into writing for musical theater so we wanted to start having him meet actors and hear them sing at the earliest possible point."
The good news is that it will probably have brand new Sting music, instead of rehashing his catalogue. New Sting?? Yes please!
Apparently he's got like 20-24 of them ready to go, too!
Can't wait to hear more about it!

We LOVE how he always manages to get the best talent to come on these shows!
Check out the just-released promo for Ricky Gervais' new mockumentary, Life's Too Short, which stars little person Warwick Davis as a fictionalized version of himself attempting to reclaim his star power, and will feature guest appearances from Johnny Depp, Steve Carell, Helena Bonham Carter, Cat Deeley, Sting, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and Liam Neeson, to name a few (above)!
AH-Mazing!
This looks absolutely HIGHlarious, and will certainly fill the void left behind when Extras ended!
What do U think?? Do U want to see Life's Too Short?
Call the Police … because they should've joined her for this!
Last night, Natasha Bedingfield put on a terrific show at the House of Blues in Hollywood as part of her Less Is More Tour! While she perfected a lot of her own original music, we were taken with this cover of the classic Police jam!
She does Sting proud!
Check out the video (above) to hear Natasha bring new life to Message In A Bottle!

Tucked away in the heart of Tuscany is the home of Trudie Styler and her kind of famous hubby, Sting.
The duo have spent most of the last 15 years escaping to their Italian paradise when their lives just got too busy, but as of now, the villa is open to the commercial masses. The duo have launched a new organic shop right on the property!
The store is called Tenuta il Palagio and will sell all locally grown and created items, such as olive oil, wine, honey and salami.
And when we say local, we mean like Sting picked the grapes for the wine and wandered around in a bee suit. Everything is cultivated on their 900-acre Il Palagio.
Until now, their produce was specially shipped to outlets in the U.S. and Britain, like Harrods. But now, if you've got the time and are in the area, you can just drop on over to Sting's place and pick up a bottle of oil!

Sting, who recently embarked on a year-long tour in 2007 with his former bandmates, has officially closed the door on another reunion for The Police.
The 58 year-old singer explained:
"People reacted to The Police coming back as if mum and dad had got together, you could see that emotion in the audience. But who really wants to go and live with the wife you divorced? I won't do it again."
Despite his interesting divorce comparison, the tour still proved to be "an exercise in nostalgia" for Sting, leaving him with no regrets.
Nonetheless, don't expect to see Sting rejoining The Police any time soon, as he further commented, "It wasn't easy. There was nothing new in it - no new songs, no new energy, no desire to take that as a platform and move somewhere else."
Ouch, that stings.
Sending out an S.O.S.!

"I like being fit. Its a combination of vanity and discipline. Ill do yoga and pilates, I'm kind of the poster boy for yoga : I've done it for over 20 years now."
