The Beatles are back with one last song… thanks to AI. Paul McCartney used AI to finish a demo of a John Lennon song called ‘Now And Then’, to be released this year. The demo was previously unworkable due to background noise, but McCartney said, “They tell the machine, ‘That’s the voice. This is a guitar. Lose the guitar’.” 

If you’re ever frustrated by the sounds of other diners disturbing the ambience, Solo Per Due (translation: table for 2) in Italy might be for you. The exclusive fine dining establishment does what it says on the box – it serves US$500 meals for 2 at a single, 2-seater table. Bon app… 

Eat Pray Love author Elizabeth Gilbert has upset Ukraine after it was revealed her new historical novel was set in Russia. Gilbert apologised and pulled the novel due to be released in February next year.
