”La Scala is always La Scala. There were one or two people ... They are entitled to their opinion”, said Domingo after his three-hour performance, in which he has fewer high notes compared to his popular tenor roles.

Tributes have been paid to renowned boxing commentator Harry Carpenter, who died on Saturday at King's College Hospital in London. He was 84.

Dubbed as the ‘Voice of Boxing’, Carpenter leaves a son and a widow.

In his lengthy career, Carpenter became well-known for his rapport with boxer-turned-celebrity Frank Bruno, whose famous line ‘Know what I mean, 'arry?’ was featured during their post-match interviews.

Bruno ‘was clearly shocked and upset’ when his manager Dave Davies broke the news, the Sky News Online reported.

"Frank has many acquaintances but not many real friends. Harry Carpenter was a friend", Davies added

Carpenter’s career started as a national newspapers sports reporter before he joined the BBC, where he became a commentator in major sporting events such as the university boat race and Wimbledon. He became best known as the distinctive voice behind BBC’s boxing coverage.

Boxing promoter and manager Frank Maloney called him ‘the voice of boxing’ and “probably one of the greatest commentators of all time”.

Terry Edwards, the former national coach GB boxing team considered him ‘a true legend’.

“He was Mr. Boxing as far as commentary goes”, Edwards added. “If you were to ask me now who would take Carpenter's place there is nobody who could truly take his place - not with the same passion and professionalism.

Carpenter’s lawyer David Wills said the family funeral has not been scheduled, but confirmed that a memorial service in London is set to honour his contributions.

Katie Price has paid substantial undisclosed damages to Claire Powell after she made false allegations that her former manager had an affair with her former husband Peter Andre.

Powell filed a legal suit against Katie, who divorced Andre in October 2009, after the British celebrity made defamatory remarks on BBC One’s ‘The Graham Norton Show.’

According to Mike Brookes, Powell’s solicitor, Katie told Norton, guests Jo Brand and Jackie Collins, and 600 live audiences that his client had an affair with Andre, though Powell was engaged to the father of her child, Neville Hendricks.

Brookes told Justice David Eady at the High Court of London that BBC ”quite sensibly” edited the allegation from the broadcast but it was immediately picked up by several tabloid newspapers.

“To be accused of infidelity, with one of her long-standing and high-profile clients, was obviously very damaging and distressing for Ms Powell – the most obvious reason being that the allegation was completely untrue,” Brookes said.

He said Katie admitted that her allegation was not true, unreservedly apologised and agreed to pay her client’s legal fees and substantial compensation.

Powell had issued proceedings against Katie to clear her name and ask for damages for the "substantial distress and embarrassment" caused by the remarks, he said.

Katie’s lawyer Keith Ashby said, "She greatly regrets what has happened, and joins in the making of this statement in order to assist in setting the record straight."

Outside the court, Powell said, "I'm just glad it's been sorted.

American pop singer Christina Aguilera feels she has become “more sexual” after giving birth to a son in January 2008.

Aguilera, whose husband is Jordan Bratman with whom she had a two-year-old son named Max, said that her self-confidence increased since she got pregnant.

”I'm more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I think I'm even a more sexual Christina”, said the ‘Dirrty’ singer.

Aguilera and Bratman both considered nudity as a normal part of a child’s life and regularly strip off during ‘Naked Sundays’.

The 29-year-old singer feels proud to be a highly sexual person and was insistent that the level of her sensuality remained though she is now a mother.

We're art collectors, there are a lot of female nudes around the house. It's only weird when you shame it”, said Aguilera.

While the pop singer would love to extend her family in the future, she insists that she considered her album ‘Bionic’, due to be released in June, her new baby.

Aguilera also counters the criticism that she imitates Lady Gaga’s music style.

During her interview on the Atlanta radio station Q100’s Bert Show, she said it is a waste of breath to give comments regarding the issue, adding that she had been around the music industry for more than a decade now and she thinks she had her own style.

Scotland’s Roman Catholic Church wants Susan Boyle to sing for the pope during his visit to the UK later this year, said a spokesperson for the Church on Sunday.

According to the spokesman, the Scottish singing sensation will be a “great asset” to the events set for Pope Benedict XVI’s UK visit in September.

He added that there were hoping to hold a conference to discuss the star’s possible involvement at a Glasgow public mass during the papal visit.

"She certainly would be a great asset to the programme on the day and we hope to be able to discuss the possibility of her participation soon", the spokesman said.

However, there was no confirmed deal with the singer yet and no official approach or invitation had been made.

The pontiff will visit the UK on 16-19 September. Apart from Glasgow, the world’s Catholic leader will visit Coventry and London.

Boyle, a 49-year-old plain, single and unemployed from Blackburn, Scotland, was catapulted to international stardom after she stunned the judges of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ with her rendition of ‘I Dreamed a Dream’.

Although she ended being a runner-up in the talent show, footage of her performance became a hit in YouTube, with viewings of over 100 million.

‘I Dreamed a Dream’, her first album, was the best-selling debut album in the history of British charts. It also topped the charts in the US.

Boyle has also become the centre of enormous media attention since her success in the talent competition.

Cuban singer-songwriter Carlos Varela is set to launch a six-city US tour in May, with hopes to bring the two countries a bit closer.

Varela, often dubbed as Cuba’s Bob Dylan, last performed a concert tour in the US in 1998 but staged an impromptu show for Congress members in Washington last December while they lobby for new US policy on communist-led Cuba.

The 47-year-old Nueva trova artist along with his band will tour the US amidst latest tensions caused by the arrest of a US contractor who was suspected of espionage in Cuba last December, and the death of a Cuban political prisoner while on a hunger strike earlier this year.

In a recent interview with Reuters, the bearded-black-clad singer said that his music, known for its metaphorical social criticism, cannot bridge by themselves the political gap arising between the two nations.

”But they can touch a man's heart.

Varela’s concert tour is the latest in a string of cultural exchanges under the administration of US President Barack Obama, which considers them as a way to boost people-to-people contact with Cuba.

Varela believes that the cultural exchanges will live through the renewed US-Cuban hostility and foresees more US musicians will soon perform in his country.

In addition to LA, Varela’s other US stops include Boston, Oakland, Chicago and New York. He is also set to perform in a concert in San Juan, Puerto Rico on 16 May and in private events in Sonoma and San Francisco, California.
