What you've been reading this week

It's been a busy week on the arts blog, thanks to the ongoing Amy Winehouse controversy, considerable argy-bargy about whether the Klaxons deseved to win the Mercury Prize, and then Pavarotti's death marking (as the Sun put it) the end of an aria yesterday morning. Then the Booker shortlist was announced, Becks Fusions hit the streets and - perhaps most excitingly of all - the theatrical world girded its loins for the MTV debut of Legally Blonde 2 the musical. Thanks as ever to all who read, commented on and contributed to the blogs this week. This week's top five most read posts looked like this.

1. Let Amy Winehouse do drugs, by Mark Ravenhill

2. Who should be the next Doctor Who? by Lucy Mangan

3. Live blogging the Mercury Prize, by Kelly Nestruck

4. What are your favourite movie plot twists? by Alex Needham

5. Bush's Zoolander turn, by Peter Bradshaw
