NEWS IS REACHING MUSEUM HQ OF A BIDDING WAR THAT HAS BROKEN OUT BETWEEN THE UK's TWO BEST KNOWN TABLOID MAGAZINES OVER WHO HAS THE RIGHTS TO THE WEDDING OF THE YEAR BETWEEN THOSE TWO WELL KNOWN HAWKWIND FANS ARIN AND RICH. BOTH "HELLO" AND "OK" MAGAZINES HAVE GONE WITH THIS STORY AS THEIR LEAD BUT AS TO WHO HAS THE OFFICIAL RIGHTS IS AT PRESENT OPEN TO INTERPRETATION. HELLO CLAIM A DEAL WAS DONE FOR AN UP FRONT FEE OF £15.00 WITH A COPY OF THE HAWKLORDS ALBUM ON CD TO FOLLOW ONCE ONE HAS BEEN LOCATED ON E-BAY. IN THE MEANTIME OK ARE COUNTER CLAIMING THAT THEY SCUPPERED THEIR RIVALS AT THE LAST MINUTE BY NOT ONLY HAVING ALREADY OBTAINED A COPY OF THE HAWKLORDS ALBUM FOR THE HAPPY COUPLE THEY WOULD ALSO THROW IN A BOX SET OF QUARK STRANGENESS AND TIME INSTEAD OF ANY FINANCIAL RE-EMBURSEMENT.
WHILST THIS WILL LIKE MANY OTHER CASES END UP WITH LAWYERS AND THE HIGH COURT GETTING INVOLVED IN BITTER LEGAL ROWS OVER WHO INDEED IS IN THE RIGHT, WE AT THE MUSEUM WOULD JUST LIKE TO WISH ARIN AND RICH EVERY HAPPINESS IN THE FUTURE AND AT THE SAME TIME ADVISING THEM THAT MAYBE THE NEXT TIME THEY GO "PUBLIC" MAYBE THEY SHOULD COME TO THE MUSEUM FIRST!
HAVING HAD THE CHANCE TO PERUSE BOTH ARTICLES I FELT "HELLO" HAD THE BETTER WRITTEN REPORT AS OPPOSED TO "OK", WHO IN MY OPINION WON OUT IN THE PICTURE DEPARTMENT, SO BY WAY OF A LITTLE TRIBUTE FROM THE MUSEUM WE'VE COMBINED THE 2, CLICK ON THE APPROPRIATE IMAGES BELOW TO HAVE A LOOK.
THE TWO MAGS GO HEAD TO HEAD IN WHAT MUST SURELY BE THE BIGGEST CIRCULATION BATTLE SINCE POSH AND BECKS WEDDING SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I MEAN EVEN THEY'VE BEEN RELEGATED TO BIT PLAYERS ON THIS MONTH'S OK COVER!
