Abba are to enter the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with four other acts including UK prog-rockers Genesis. The Stooges, Jimmy Cliff and The Hollies will also be inducted in a ceremony in New York on 15 March.

The performers were chosen from a long list announced earlier this year, which had included the Red Hot Chili Peppers and rock band Kiss.Unfortunatly it is unlikely that Swedish band Abba, who disbanded in 1983, will stage a reunion performance for the event.

The Pussycat Dolls are getting new members. 
 
The girl band have been surrounded by rumours they are splitting, but choreographer Robin Antin -
 who founded the group in its first performance as a dance troupe in 1995 – insists they are
continuing but with fresh faces joining lead singer Nicole Scherzinger.
