christine-bleakley-adrian-chiles

The One Show co-host Christine Bleakley has reportedly turned down Fern Britton’s job on This Morning, preferring instead to continue working with Adrian Chiles, further adding to rumours about their ‘true’ relationship.

And I know this is going to sound cruel, but Christine’s a very pretty woman and Adrian’s…. well, let’s say that’s a face only a mother could love. Or maybe I’m just shallow as a puddle… perhaps he’s got a really sparkling personality or something…

Christine and Adrian attended Sunday night’s Bafta Awards and presented the factual series award together.

On the subject of her taking Fern’s place on This Morning, Christine told the Daily Mail, “I am more than happy at The One Show. [Doing This Morning] would mean getting up very early… Read more & comment »

The Daily Mail reports that “Cheryl took to the stage in a futuristic leotard and mini skirt combo which owed more than a nod to the crazy looks seen on pop singer Lady GaGa… Read more & comment »

james morrison

Apparently, James Morrison reckons he manages to keep his voice so husky by chowing down on caterpillar larvae before every stage performance. Oh god, how gross is that??!

James reportedly said, “I have this juice called Loquat. It’s a bit like honey and is supposed to be really good for your vocal chords.

“But I’ve also got these weird Chinese pills where apparently they scrape fungus from a caterpillar larva and them process it in a lab. I swear to God.”

“When I was first told about them I said, ‘There’s no way I’m taking them…’ Read more & comment »

Ruth Lorenzo dumps Simon Cowell for rival record label

ruth-lorenzo

According to today’s Sun, the X Factor’s Ruth Lorenzo “has turned her back on mentor Simon Cowell to sign a £1million deal with a rival record firm.”

Simon, who clearly fancied the pants off Ruth during her time on the X Factor will surely not be chuffed that she’s signed with his rival record label EMI/Virgin.

Ruth was apparently sworn to secrecy by her new bosses but let the cat out of the bag after a few too many glasses of bubbly when she attended the launch of Jean-Christophe Novelli’s restaurant on the Costa del Sol last weekend.

A guest at the launch said, “Ruth was a bit giddy with the free champagne and was telling everyone Simon was gutted she signed elsewhere… Read more & comment »

Samantha Morton

Actress Samantha Morton has admitted during an interview with Weekend magazine that she was “charged with attempted murder and convicted of threats to kill” when she was just 14.

31-year-old Samantha also revealed that the incident occurred when she was in a children’s home in Nottingham and threatened to kill a girl who’d bullied her.

Samantha has recently directed her first film, The Unloved, which is based on her rough childhood and her experiences of growing up in social services care homes.

Samantha was sent to a care home at when she was three years old after her parents split up and by the age of 16, she was “battling a drug problem.”

The award-winning actress also told The Guardian that she “picked up a knife and threatened to kill an older girl” during a riot at the children’s home.

Members of Kerry's newly discovered 'family'

Kerry Katona apparently “broke down” when she met members of the family she only recently found out she had. She met them for the first time last week but they told her, “Take a DNA test to prove you’re our sister.”

The reality star of course took along her ever present MTV crew to film the meeting that she’d organised after last week’s news that she had a half-sister and four brothers she knew nothing about.

However, her relatives refused to be filmed as well as insisting on the DNA test, which I’m sure won’t have pleased the camera-addicted Kerry.

A friend of Kerry’s told the News of the World, “It was hardly the greeting she wanted. She couldn’t help but cry-the nerves and emotion got to her. But she agreed to have the test.”

The paper reported last Sunday that her biological father Ron Armstrong, who had an affair with Kerry’s mum, died of cancer recently before Kerry got a chance to meet him… Read more & comment »

Lorraine, 36 – who’s “highly rated” by Sir Alan and a favourite to win the show – was so turned on by what she’d seen that she then paid for her boyfriend to have sex with a hooker while she watched…
