uh-oh, it's official. he's missed the top 40 - Official UK Top 40 Singles Chart.
remember how p***ed off he was when 'The Youngest' missed the top 10 back in 2006? imagine how he feels now?

it's the first single to miss the top 40 since the Maladjusted era. timing couldn't be much worse as he's just about to embark on the UK tour.
looks like Southpaw's missed the top 40 in the album chart too...

ANNOUNCING: TMS HEARTS MOZ (A COVERS ALBUM IN HONOR OF MOZZER�S 50TH BIRTHDAY) - The Music Slut

...Over the course of the last few months, I�ve asked a bevy of my favorite artists to contribute tracks to TMS Hearts Moz. Highlighting a selection of their choice, the result is a 19 song compilation that includes renditions of Smiths favorites, Morrissey rarities and nearly everything in between. I�m so proud to present this to you, our dear readers, and I�m forever thankful to each of the acts that took time out of their busy schedules to submit their own interpretations of some of my most cherished tunes.

Russell Brand gets shunned for Moz Bday bash; Jonathan Ross invited

NME reports:

Russell Brand upset over Morrissey 50th birthday snub - Daily Gossip

Russell Brand is gutted that he hasn't been invited to Morrissey's 50th birthday party, while fellow TV personality Jonathan Ross has.

Ross used (Twitter) to boast about getting an invite to the party.

"Sorry to shout but... I JUST GOT INVITED TO MORRISSEY'S 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!!!!!! Need to choose outfit immediately :)" he wrote on Wednesday (April 29).

Brand, who named his cat after the singer, is still waiting for his invitation, according to reports. Morrissey's birthday is on May 22 (Daily Star).

Maybe the invite just got lost in the post ;)
