Well, it's been a full week since the site was hacked. The database is still being debugged...until then, I guess the best way of going about updating the site is to do links to news stories here on the blog.
Sorry I haven't done anything like this until today - to be honest I've been a little too upset about the site to focus on the news.
I'm think I'm going to try to upload the links by region, and by type - resulting in a bunch of blog posts. Here are the links for Monday, May 26, 2008 from London:

Transformative power of art
Is there anyone who can write bitter-sweet drama quite like Lee Hall? In his new play, ‘The Pitman Painters’ at the National Theatre’s Cottesloe, Hall mines a similar seam, as it were, exploring politics, class and the transformative power of art in a mining community in the north-east of England, writes Sarah Hemming
The Independent
Review: Derren brown: an evening of wonders, Garrick Theatre, London (Rated 4/ 5 )
There is a rising sense of infuriation during Derren Brown's show that comes from trying to work out how you are being hoodwinked; it's only abated by the sense of awe when you are. You can at least discount magic. Brown is a sceptic and debunks hokum and spiritualism at every opportunity. It's a pity, he says tonight, that charlatan mediums aren't imprisoned like they were in the Victorian age.
