Hilarious one this…

Chunky pop poppet, Daniel Bedingfield has narrowly avoided a second highway altercation.

The lesser-known brother of No.1 singer Natasha was off to Manchester to rehearse a Brits duet with his sister, when a passing truck hit his car.

But it’s the details which are so special…

A member of Bedingfield's entourage explains, "Dan's car pulled onto the hard shoulder so they could get a CD out of the trunk."

"Dan was in the passenger seat when the driver opened the door."

"But he hadn't checked his mirrors and a truck smashed into them."

"The door was ripped off and the car was really badly mangled."

Brilliant. What a tard…

In other pop news…

Madonna has hired a karate instructor so she can follow hubbie Guy Richies example and become a blackbelt. Apparently daughter Lourdes has been rocking out with the Sensei too.

Avril Lavigne has been nominated for five Juno Awards. The Junos are the Canadian music awards. Amongst her possible gongs are big ups for artist of the year and… songwriter of the year. Now, call DiS cynical…

I'd hazard a guess it wasn't his sister's.

The Cars song is called 'Drive'.

You also missed 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman, 'Crash and Burn' by Simple Plan, 'Crash' by Gwen Stefani, 'Speed Kills' by Smashing Pumpkins and the cheerfully upbeat 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' by The Smiths, featuring happy pop lyrics including "If a double decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die."

You'd be pretty sore if you ended your days driving round and round with Daniel Beddingfield. Or Morrissey for that matter:

"Look, Steve, it's 3am, I'm gonna have to drop you home, I've got work tomorrow"

"Oh please don't, you see it's not my home, it's their home and I'm welcome no more!"

"What, you've been evicted? Didn't you pay the rent or something?"

"Yeah, I had the money all together, but then I saw this great bust of Kenneth Williams and, you know..."

"Oh, Morrissey!"
