## Resource

Amid much parping of vuvuzelas, the week’s news stories sprint onto the pitch. And these make it to the quarter-finals …   … Dua Lipa’s mega-wedding and its echoes of Mick & Bianca   … when did publicity turn into “perpetual planetary attention”?   … Chris Martin “curating” the World Cup Final half-time show   … if you can’t stand the noise, move out of Soho!   … watching Rufus Wainwright do Judy Garland     … when Madonna was troubled by helicopters   … JBs’s Dudley, Mr Pickwicks, the Band On The Wall: who imagined old rock venues would be celebrated by the V&A?   … “Keep music away from sport!”   … is Taylor Swift really getting married in Madison Square Garden?   … and the Nation Blue, the Green Falcons, the Golden Lilies: starry-eyed indie act or World Cup team nickname?
