As the singer’s case finally begins, the BBC has claimed that Sir Cliff Richard has spent “grossly unreasonable” amounts on legal advice, having launched a lawsuit against the broadcaster over TV coverage of a police raid on his home.

Lawyers for the BBC have told a preliminary High Court hearing this week that the iconic pop singer, 76, has run up “disproportionate” legal costs over half a million pounds in his lawsuit against the broadcaster and South Yorkshire Police over both the controversial televised coverage of the raid on his home in August 2014, and over being publicly named as a suspected sex offender of alleged historic crimes.

The Crown Prosecution Service has announced that Sir Cliff Richard will not face charges over historic sexual abuse allegations that have hung over him for nearly two years – and the legendary singer has spoken out about the length of the investigation.

Just over a month after police handed over a file of evidence on the 75 year old singer that they spent the best of two years putting together, lawyers for the CPS have said that “no further action” will be taken against Sir Cliff because there was insufficient evidence to proceed with a prosecution.

Having recorded a staggering 100 albums, Cliff Richard can be considered somewhat of an authority on the inner workings of music and its effects, even if his output has been genuinely cheesier than a baked Camembert sandwich. Anyway, he thinks Miley Cyrus has been damaged by the industry.

He’s looked at what Cyrus has been up to, seen that Sinead O’Connor and Annie Lennox have been chatting about and decided to get involved; to have his say. So what does Sir Cliff think about Cyrus, twerking and smoking on stage?

Sir Cliff Richard has had one heck of a career, and a long, long one at that, but this by no means indicates that he has plans of slowing down any time soon. The 72-year-old announced on Tuesday (3 September) that his career has gone "full circle" as he returns to his rock 'n' roll roots for his 100th overall album, The Fabulous Rock 'N' Roll Songbook.

Sir Cliff still performs regularly to his dedicated fanbase

Beginning with 1959's Cliff, Richards has been a mainstay in the British entertainment world ever since and has continued producing album after album. As his sound gradually softened and Cliff became more and more devoted to his Christian faith, there was a departure from the Shadows-backed sound fans came to know and love over the years, but with his new release Cliff has claimed that he is back where he started; making rock 'n' roll again.

John Travolta has been reunited with his Grease co-star Olivia Newton-John, for a forthcoming Christmas album, entitled 'This Christmas.' It's something of a surprise move from the actor, who has been busily defending himself against sexual assault claims and allegations that he is a closet homosexual. We're thinking that if he was really trying to prove to people that he's not gay, releasing a Christmas album with a ridiculously camp photograph of himself sharing a cup of tea (or coffee, maybe. or something else. we're not quite sure) with Olivia Newton-John possibly wasn't the strongest part of his game plan.

Music Fix and NineMSN.com have quoted Travolta as saying "My desire was to make This Christmas an intimate album, not something too ostentatious or showy." To achieve this aim, he invited Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Cliff Richard and Kenny G to join him as guests on the album. Um, not ostentatious or showy at all, then, John? He added "I wanted people to be able to play it around the house or in the car during the holidays, and make us part of your celebration." Olivia added that it was a struggle getting the recording done, in amongst their hectic work lives: "It just fell into place. With our busy schedules, I don't know how we got it done. John and I have always connected. That's never gone away. When we're together, we have a good laugh and feel bonded to one another. We've been through some amazing experiences together."

Ostentatious or not, at least it's all for a good cause; proceeds from the album sales will go to the Jett Travolta Foundation and the Olivia Newton John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne.
