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!

Sting's daughter Coco Sumner happily showed off her androgynous style outside the Box Club in London last night.

Kinda hard to believe that's the same girl who appeared on the cover of Love magazine 2 years ago.

This is tragic.

Jules Paxton, a yoga trainer who worked one-on-one with the likes of Sting, Denise Rich, Donna Karan, and Barbara Streisand passed away on Friday.

An ambulance arrived at his house in response to a report of a man suffering cardiac arrest. Sadly, Paxton died shortly after they go there.

The actual cause of death won’t be known for sure until an autopsy is performed.

Paxton lived a life giving back to people by teaching them how to be more in tune with their body and mind.

He will be missed.

Sting has joined a list of impressive musicians on a charity album to benefiting the victims of Australia's recent tsunami.

The album titled Flood Relief - Artists For The Flood Appeal, features music from Pink, Kings of Leon, Beyoncé, Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and John Mayer, who each donated a track to the three-disc album released yesterday by Sony.

Sting is also touring the country asking fans to donate at his concerts.

It's great to see all these celebs working for a great cause!

Sting’s wife Trudi Styler just released a new yoga-inspired workout DVD Pure Sculpt that’s supposed to help people fix their “trouble spots.” And while Sting is excited to try it, Styler doesn’t think he needs to.

He doesn't have any trouble spots!” she said. "He's got great glutes!"

Styler is proud of the DVD and feels that it will help people work out the parts of the body that give so many of us problems:

"We break down the trouble spots of the body, if you like — namely the abs, glutes and arms — and focus in on those areas where we can tone the body by spending 15 minutes on each bit of those areas."

Styler says that due to the workout on the DVD, her body is mostly flawless:

"I do a different aspect of my regimen every day. I switch it out between Pilates and yoga. It's been a sheer delight to use my own body to get super fit and share this with the women of the world who multitask and have to look good. In order to look good, you have to feel good and we explored ways to do that."

The thing we like most about this DVD is that it has 15-minute express workouts. Sometimes it’s hard to fit in a full workout!!
