XS Live @ Glasto
GLASTO has seen a lot of things (think naked mud wrestling) but nothing as raunchy as the secret preformance Lady GaGa
gave at 1.30am yesterday morning.She rolled up to Club RaRa to silence critics of her earlier 'official' performance on the Other Stage.
Her show included fondling and setting fire to her bra.
XS Icon GaGa cooed: "I'm surrounded here by naked mannequins. Which is great as I love sex and I love fashion."
And she did her costume change on stage.
Little Boots was the most humble Glasto performer and was shocked by the huge crowd that showed up to jump around and dance to epic single Remedy.
But she wasn't happy about the heat, moaning: "Too bloody hot!"
Lily Allen joined her pal Pixie Geldof by wearing wigs around camp so that they wouldn't get noticed by the throng of fans.
Well, Lily did it to avoid admirers . . . who knows why Pixie did it?
Love is in the air for two of my favourite new artists.
Kanye West's protégé Mr Hudson tweeted over the weekend from Glasto: "VV Brown just asked me for my number!"
And it seems like love is the only drug VV needs. She assured me: "I'd never take drugs."
It sucks to be Jamie Cullum at Glastonbury, apparently. When spoof rockers Spinal Tap announced that Jamie Cullum was joining them on stage the crowd booed.
But when the band said that Jarvis Cocker was making a guest appearance the crowd went wild.
Blur fans start worrying, looks like Damon Albarn is about to tap up Harry Enfield for his reunited band.
They're both big fans of spoof rockers Spinal Tap - comic Harry even played with them.
A pal said: "Damon loves the film and has always wanted to see them play. Spinal Tap performed with Harry Enfield and it was hilarious."
I reckon the amps on Blur's comeback gig tonight will go all the way to 11!
Peaches Geldof performed well - kissing TWO boys in the early hours of yesterday morning, including an ex.
First, she snogged DONALD CUMMINGS, the lead singer of American band The Virgins.
Then she got off with FARIS BADWAN - who she dumped for ex-hubby MAX DRUMMEY.
The pair even left the Playstation 3 Singstar VIP area together, which makes me think they might be back on. At least Bob's girl had dropped the ridiculous 'go gay' plan that I told you about two weeks ago.
My spy said: "Peaches was out of control. It didn't take long for her and the guy from The Virgins to start snogging. But he had to go to meet pals. As soon as he went, Peaches made a move on Faris."
For her double act, I've nominated Peaches, 20, for my Mashta Awards. Little sis PIXIE, 18, who was out on the lash, has already scored a nod from me. She turned in early at 1am.
The Ting Tings took Glasto by storm but admit they haven't started work on their second album.
The Manchester pair have put the follow-up to their hot debut We Started Nothing on hold because they want to be out partying all night long when they write it.
Drummer Jules De Martino told me: "When we wrote the first one Katie and I were out at all night raves then coming in and writing.
We think that whole party feeling comes through on the album. We got so much influence from it that it makes it sound a bit uncontrollable, which we love."
Singer and guitarist Katie White added: "We tried writing a few songs on the tour, but we just hated them. They didn't sound like us one bit."
The Kills singer Alison Mosshart has walked away from the group, saying Kate Moss's man Jamie Hince isn't a model bandmate.
She told me: "I'm here with my new band The Dead Weather and we're having an amazing time. It's definitely not my side project. They are my band now."
Alfie Allen (Lily's brother) pulled up his T-shirt at Glasto to reveal a chubbier figure and a tattoo saying Mum.
It's a far cry from the days when he stripped nude to reveal his toned bod on stage in Equus.
East 17's comeback gig at Glastonbury was as shambolic as it was bizarre.
The set included singer Brian Harvey telling the crowd this gig "made my whole career worthwhile".
The trio (minus minted songwriter Tony Mortimer) went through their whole back catalogue.
So yep, the real surprise was that the gig actually exceeded the six minutes to sing their two hits Alright and If You Ever.
Next year you could be raving to a Dizzee Rascal and Prodigy collaboration at Glasto as the rapper is going to work on a song with the electro veterans.
Dizzee said: "I'm planning a track with The Prodigy, I love them and have toured with them. It'll be a banging dance track."
Kasabian is like a major brand of household spread . . . I can't believe they're not Oasis - but they want to be! They belted out hits Fire and Empire but sounded like they were on autopilot. As warm up for Bruce Springsteen these guys left me cold.
There's classy and there's brassy, but Florence and the Machine singer Florence Welch has got class in barrel loads.
She's been threatening to become a major player in charts for ages and by the way she stormed the John Peel Stage last night it will happen soon.
She's not as easy to get into as Pixie Lott or Little Boots but on tracks like Kiss With A Fist she shows her true pop credentials.
Watch the Machine take over!
Peter Doherty made his own tribute to Michael Jackson by wearing a military-style outfit and hat inspired by his classic look.
The singer, performing for the first time since his arrest in Gloucester, Babyshambles and the Libertines tunes, ending with their Time For Heroes in tribute of MJ.
Nicola Roberts was the only Girls Aloud member to brave the mud.
She and boyfriend Charlie Fennel arrived yesterday evening to see their favourite electro gal Elly Jackson. She told me: "We're here to see La Roux." Nicola had the festival chic look in a short red and white gingham shirt dress and wellies.
The Glasto Globes, awarded for the most ridiculous festival behaviour.
XS BAGGAGE: Pixie Geldof. Boozy Geldof brought EIGHT bags with her and changed twice in an hour.
XS BACCY: Paulo Nutini. My Glasto team caught the singer with a very, er, wacky-looking ciggie.
XS AFFECTION: Mat Horne. Get a tent Mat! He was all over girlfriend Sybilla Findley all weekend.
XS TIME: Pharrell Williams. The NERD front man threw a massive hissy fit when the stage manager pulled the plug on his set. He refused to stop singing.
XS DIVA: Dizzee Rascal. He might be a tough rapper, but Diz was scared of mud and wanted to leave. Wimp!

It is so sad that Lady Ga ga will be remembered for the countless costume changes, the male dancers in chains, the gimmicks, and the blatant miming, rather than for her music.
