Organizers say that the recent outbreak of swine flu may cause the cancellation of the festival should the virus reach pandemic level.

A festival spokesman confirmed the news and said that they’re holding emergency talks to discuss the best way to manage the situation.

The spokesman says, “So many people gathered in one place is a risk and if the government wanted to pull public events, like in Mexico, we’d be one of the first to go. It would be crazy not to put a plan in place. Right now, though, it’s full steam ahead.”

Rumor has it that Lady Gaga has been asked to perform at Glastonbury this year. The event takes place on Somerset’s on Worthy Farm in June and Gaga said that she can’t wait.

She says, “I can’t wait for the festival season. Especially muddy Glastonbury. I love all that. I played the Lollapalooza festival in America and actually before anybody knew of me as an underground songwriter and pop musician I was quite frequently naked and tripping on acid with my friends.”

Scarlett Johansson is hinting around that she might do some festival dates in support of her album of Tom Waits covers. Run!!

She says that the only thing that might keep her away from the stage is her stagefright:

She told the London Paper that it would “be sad not to get everyone together” to perform songs from Anywhere I Lay My Head, whether at a festival or “somewhere that’s kinda fun”.

“[But] I have horrible stage fright, so it would have to be overcome. People approach me [about playing live] and my usual answer is, ‘Ah, I’ll think about that’,” she said.

“When I do think about it, I start to get really sweaty and uncomfortable and itchy around the neck,” she added.

Let’s hope that keeps her away from the stage. We all know how I feel about her singing. Stick to movies!!!!
