It's Friday. News of substance is conspicuous by its absence. So...
Lordi - monster-masked Eurovision winners - are to have a soft drink produced and sold in their 'honour'. Lordi Cola is to be made by Finnish drinks maker Olvi Group.
The band's singer, Mr Lordi, has designed the cans - five designs will be used, each featuring a different band member - and a spokesperson for the cola's maker, Ritva Sinisalo, told the BBC:
"The Lordi phenomenon has brought the whole nation together."
Presumably Finland's dentists are excited about this development. Expect Barbados holiday homes to be full of them by the winter. Meanwhile, Lordi have a few UK dates coming up in October.
