    A Neighbours promotional trailer featuring the song 'The Last Day On Earth' by Australian singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke has catapulted the single from nowhere straight into the Australian top 50 chart.

    The emotional tune, which Channel Ten is using as the feature track for a heavy campaign to publicise the tragic death of one of Ramsay Street's favourite residents, stormed into the iTunes top 50 last week - debuting in the top 10.

    Currently, the song is sitting in third position behind 'I Gotta Feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas and Lady GaGa's 'Paparazzi'. While on the official ARIA singles charts, the single debuted at number 35.

    Miller-Heidke's second album Curiouser - from which 'The Last Day On Earth' is taken - has also seen a surge in popularity and is currently sitting at number four on the iTunes top 50 album chart.

    Last Broadcast has released a list of the top ten weirdest ever storylines featured on Neighbours, as voted for by the website's readers.

    Describing the soap as having had some plots that "have strayed from a 'bit random' to WTF territory", the story where Bouncer dreamt that he married a fellow dog managed to score second place.

    Violinist Andre Rieu's recent cameo in which he performed in the middle of Ramsay Street was polled as the weirdest storyline, followed by Bouncer's dream, the 2005 plane crash, Susan's amnesia and Santa Claus flying over the town at Christmas.

    The London cameos, Drew's death, Zeke's cross-dressing, Harold's return from the dead and Audrey's adventure away from home rounded out the top ten.

    Neighbours star Sam Clark has denied that he is leaving the soap later this year, claiming that he has not heard the rumours of his impending departure.

    In April, Australia's Daily Telegraph reported that Clark was planning to quit the series when his contract expires in October to pursue a music career.

    Natalie Bassingthwaighte has apparently been snubbed by American television producers in her quest to crack the US.

    Bassingthwaighte told the Melbourne Herald Sun: "It was a shock to the system and a very humbling experience. It's one thing being in Australia, where a lot of people know who you are. But to start from scratch... it's going to take a while to hit my mark, feel comfortable and do the best work I can."

    The actress, who used to play Izzy Hoyland in Neighbours, said that she fought a bout of depression after bad reviews for her first feature film Prey.

    Neighbours legend Harold Bishop has been named the top soap bloke of all time by Loaded magazine.

    A poll of 2,000 readers named the Ramsay Street stalwart, portrayed by Ian Smith, as the most popular male soap character of all time, ahead of EastEnders' Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) and Bishop's fellow Erinsborough local Lou Carpenter (Tom Oliver).

    Neighbours actor Scott Major has revealed that he nearly landed a part in EastEnders.

    In an interview with Holy Soap, the 34-year-old admitted that he just missed out on the role of Sid Clarke, the accomplice in SJ's (Natasha Beaumont) scam to fleece Minty (Cliff Parisi).

    Former Neighbours star Caitlin Stasey has landed the lead role in the film adaptation of best-selling novel Tomorrow: When The War Began.

    The 19-year-old actress, who played Ramsay Street local Rachel Kinski, will star as Ellie Linton, the heroine of the teen novels that have sold nearly two million copies in Australia and New Zealand.

    "I was ecstatic!" Stasey told ninemsn. "I have a lot of respect for Ellie's character and feel privileged to be playing such an inspirational young female role."

    Director Stuart Beattie praised his film's leading lady, saying: "Caitlin captured the perfect balance of intelligence, vulnerability and strength that is essential to this character."

    Filming of Tomorrow: When The War Began is due to begin at the end of September in the New South Wales Hunter Valley.

    Korean indie band The Black Skirts have flown to Australia specially to film a cameo role on Neighbours, reports the Herald Sun.

    Upon arrival last Wednesday, the group were taken to the Neighbours studios where they filmed their scenes before flying out on Friday.

    As part of their cameo appearance, The Black Skirts are joined on stage by characters Margot Robbie (Donna Freedman), Hany lee (Sunny Lee) and Ashleigh Brewer (Kate Ramsay) as backup singers.

    "We needed a band for a scene with our Korean character Sunny Lee and The Black Skirts saw it as a great opportunity for international exposure, so organised flights and visas straight away," said Neighbours producer Neal Kingston. "And they were fantastic, so we were delighted."

    A number of celebrities have recently shot cameos with the series, including Lily Allen and Jason Coleman, whose appearances will both go to air in Australia this week.
