Last year he appeared on film during Monty Python's live shows, but now Pr
ofessor Stephen Hawking can be heard covering one of the comedy troupe's classic songs.

The physicist sings the famous Galaxy Song, which is being released digitally this week and will be available on vinyl this weekend as part of Record Store Day 2015.

In the video, the A Brief History Of Time author can be seen whizzing through space in his wheelchair, while the footage is interspersed with scenes of the Monty Python live shows.

One of the cult comedy act's members Eric Idle tweeted to let people know about the record.

He wrote: "Stephen Hawking Sings Monty Python. The Galaxy Song digital download & video has now been released.


"The limited edition 7" vinyls will be on sale on Saturday 18th April in UK and US as part of Record Store Day 2015."

A novelty online game has also been released in which players are invited to "destroy all Monty Python asteroids before they collide with Stephen Hawking".

Prof Hawking, 73, appeared on film alongside Professor Brian Cox as part of the live shows featuring John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Idle last year as the group performed together for the first time in decades at London's O2 Arena.

The world-famous theoretical physicist, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease shortly after his 21st birthday, showed his comedy credentials earlier this year when he took part in a Comic Relief sketch alongside David Walliams in the grounds of Cambridge University.

Left-armer to be to front committee after testing positive for cocaine

Pakistan spinner Raza Hassan has tested positive for cocaine and faces a two-year ban from all forms of cricket.The left-armer failed a dope test at a World Anti-Doping Agency accredited laboratory in India after a sample was taken during the Pentangular Cup in Karachi.

Hassan, who has represented his country at one-day international and T20 level, tested positive for the banned recreational drug while playing for Punjab Badshahs.

"The results of the second sample are still awaited but on the basis of the first sample results, the board has already established a two-member committee to chargesheet the spinner and seek an explanation from him," a source close to the Pakistan Cricket Board told the Press Trust of India.

The two-member committee includes former Pakistan Test wicketkeeper Colonel Naushad Ali and a qualified sports medicine doctor.

"The PCB is taking the matter very seriously because this is the first time any player has tested positive for the use of cocaine," the source said.

"If Hassan can't clear himself before the inquiry committee, he faces a two-year ban from all cricket.”

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar tested positive for steroids in 2006, the same year fellow paceman Mohammad Asif was also banned for steroid use, but the PCB overturned both bans.

Ex-Australia Test spinner Jason Krejza tested positive to cocaine in 2006, but the off-spinner claimed his drink was spiked and further testing revealed no trace of the drug.

Shane Warne was infamously banned for 12 months on the eve of the 2003 Cricket World Cup after testing positive for a banned diuretic which helps increase the removal of water from the body and also acts as a masking agent.

Warne returned a year later and played on until the 5-0 Ashes whitewash in the summer of 2006-07 before retiring as the game’s leading Test wicket-taker.

Madonna Is a Dementor & Other Reactions to Drake's Coachella Surprise,The Internet Thinks

Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Coachella

Let us be the first to say it: Madonna has no chill. In fact she might be the wildest 56-year-old (and mother of four) on the planet. The woman really knows how to turn up, and turn up she did. According to multiple sources (read: everyone who was in attendance), the crowd was just as shocked as Drake was to see the tonsil hockey go down.

But never one to be left out, the Internet has a whole lot of feelings about the, er, incident as well. Twitter blew up as word of the Kiss Heard 'Round the World began to spread. Then the GIFs started. And then came the Dementor comparisons. Yes, the Internet is a cruel, cruel mistress, and isn't going to worry about things like tact or sensitivity when an event of this magnitude goes down.

Ahead is a little sampling that we believe reflects all of our collective feelings on KissGate 2015.

Justin Bieber Issued For Arrest Warrant

An Argentine judge has issued an arrest warrant for Justin Bieber

An arrest warrant has been issued for Justin Bieber in Argentina after the singer failed to respond to summons related to allegations he ordered his bodyguards to attack a photographer.
 who issued the warrant, ordered the "immediate detention" of Bieber and bodyguards Hugo Alcides Hesny and Terrence Reche Smalls.

The accusations relate to a 2013 incident outside a Buenos Aires nightclub where Bieber is accused of sending the two bodyguards to attack photographer Diego Pesoa.

Under Argentine law, he would face a jail sentence between one month to six years if convicted on a charge of causing injuries - but the troubled singer never returned to Argentina to face police questions.

It is not clear whether the warrant extends outside Argentina but Mr Pesoa's lawyer spoke to a local television station and implied that the warrant would force Bieber to return to the South American country.
 said: "Now we just need to wait for the police to find him and bring him" to Argentina.

"For us, this is a triumph against all those who said this case was a bluff and that we didn't have anything."

Bieber has so far not responded to the warrant being issued.

Kim Kardashian has met the prime minister of Armenia

The star is making a documentary during her eight-day tour

The reality television star,Kim Kardashian husband Kanye West, daughter North and sister Khloe, have booked up two floors of a luxury hotel in the capital Yerevan.


Kardashian was greeted by a huge crowd of fans when the group took a tour of the downtown area.

She had an audience with the country's premier Hovik Abrahamyan, the government press service said.

President Serzh Sarkisian is currently in Italy on a visit that will also see him meet Pope Francis.


Kardashian is reportedly also in the country to make a documentary about the Armenian genocide, ahead of events later this month to mark the centenary of the killings.

Beyond snapping selfies with her fans, she has refused to talk to the press but instead took to social media to express her delight at being in Armenia.

"Armenia we are here!!!!! We are so grateful to be here & start this journey of a lifetime! Thank you to everyone who greeted us! I can't wait to explore our country and have some yummy food!" Kardashian wrote on Instagram.

"My husband and daughter came to Armenia as well to see my heritage and learn about my ancestors! My cousins came along too! So excited I can't sleep."

Kardashian's Armenian ancestors on her father's side emigrated to the United States from an area that now lies in Turkey.

During her eight-day trip, Kardashian and her film crew will visit Yerevan's genocide memorial and Armenia's National Archives to see documents about her ancestors.

She is then to travel to the provincial city of Gyumri where her distant relatives live.

Armenians say up to 1.5 million of their kin were killed between 1915 and 1917 as the Ottoman Empire was falling apart.

They have long sought to win international recognition of the massacres as genocide.

Turkey rejects the claims, arguing that 300,000 to 500,000 Armenians and as many Turks died in civil strife when Armenians rose up against their Ottoman rulers and sided with invading Russian troops.
