    Kerry Katona has reportedly split up from husband Mark Croft after changing her Facebook status to "single".

    The former Atomic Kitten singer removed information about her marriage from the social networking site early this morning, according to The Sun.

    A further message was posted that read: "I really never thought I would have to go through this again."

    The couple, who have two children together, married after a whirlwind relationship on Valentine's Day in 2007.

    The relationship was rocked late last year after a paternity test revealed that Croft had fathered a three-year-old love child shortly before meeting Katona.

    The pair's relationship reportedly reached breaking point last October after rows over the star's erratic behaviour.

    Katona was previously married to former Westlife singer Bryan McFadden, with whom she has daughters Molly and Lily-Sue.

    This sadly seemed predictable going by the tabloids over the past few years. Mark Croft does not appear to be a very nice person if the reports about him are true. Looks he was after spending her money more than anything.

    Kerry Katona has confirmed speculation that she is divorcing husband Mark Croft, reports the Daily Mail.

    The 28-year-old was reportedly filmed breaking the news to her publicist over the phone in a scene from What's The Problem?, her upcoming MTV reality show.

    "Listen love, I've got a lawyer involved," she is quoted as saying. "Me and Mark are getting a divorce, we really are."

    She is later heard saying: "You were all *********g right....And please, I've just told my mum. Mum, please don't say I told you so. It's the last thing I need to hear."

    Katona and Croft, who have two children together, married on Valentine's Day 2007 after a whirlwind romance.

    A spokesperson for Katona, who was previously married to former Westlife singer Bryan McFadden, has yet to comment.

    The thing I'm wondering is, can she look after all four children on her own? With one father on the other side of the world, it could be difficult. Especially if Kerry loses custody of the two youngest.
    Thanks CrazyLea

    TEARFUL Kerry Katona spent hours yesterday with accountants who are trying to find out what has happened to her millions.

    The ex-Atomic Kitten singer sobbed as she revealed she was divorcing her husband of two years, Mark Croft.

    The Sun told yesterday how Kerry, 28, hinted at a split from ex-cabbie Mark, 38, by announcing she was single on Facebook.

    Now the troubled star — declared bankrupt last year over an unpaid tax bill —fears millions of pounds in earnings has simply vanished into a tangled maze of accounts.

    Worried pals expressed fears for the mum-of-four’s health as Frank Cochran — the financial guru tasked with unravelling her affairs — said: “Kerry’s been earning between a million and a million and a half pounds a year.

    “And yet she’s in the situation where she had to scrape around to pay a £80,000 tax bill.

    She’s worried to death about paying bills. She can’t treat the kids. She wants to know what’s happened to her money.”


    Kerry looked exhausted and dishevelled as she stood outside her house in Cheshire, while Mr Cochran read out a statement.


    He said: “Miss Katona has been very upset by the breakdown of her marriage to Mark Croft. As a consequence she has contacted us and asked us for independent financial advice.”

    Advisors from top accountancy firm Celebrity Financial Planning arrived in a black Porsche Carrera — licence plate BO55 CFP.

    Kerry wed Mark on Valentine’s Day 2007 at Gretna Green. They have two kids, Heidi, two, and ten-month-old Max.

    She also has two daughters Molly, seven, and Lilly-Sue, six, from her first marriage to ex-Westlife singer Brian McFadden.

    The Sun can reveal that Kerry and Mark split on Wednesday after a row over cash.

    A source close to Kerry said pals feared for her and her kids, saying: “Molly has basically had to be mum to Kerry and it’s just awful. Kerry has been on the phone to friends saying that she can’t handle it and she is in an awful mess.

    “Mark manipulated her and chipped away at her confidence to the extent where she didn’t believe she could live without him. She is not in the best of mental health and this could send her over the edge.”

    Croft’s brother Stuart, 33, claimed he had left the country for a few days. But sources close to Croft said he was lying low at a hotel in the Cheshire area.

    We revealed last year how Kerry was caught up with a dodgy financial advisor called David McHugh, a former crook who has been jailed for fraud. McHugh was blasted by a judge as “incompetent” and “deliberately misleading”.

    At the time, a friend said: “She insists on working with McHugh — he’s her accountant and her legal adviser but keeps messing things up. It’s time she dumped him, but he’s great mates with her husband Mark."

    Kerry was declared bankrupt in August after failing to pay £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill. Her earnings from her MTV shows, Iceland ads and magazine columns have been going straight to the taxman.

    Was It Really Michael Jackson ?????????????

    The square chin. The deep voice. But was it really Michael Jackson?


    By Paul Harris
    Last updated at 1:36 AM on 14th March 2009



    Something didn't seem quite right. There was that impossibly square chin, for a start - a bizarre cosmetic enhancement, even for Michael Jackson.
    Then there was the voice, several octaves lower than the dog-whistle whisper the King of Pop normally adopts in front of his adoring fans.
    Study the walk as well - a slightly hunched gait you might not expect from someone who ranks among the world's most spectacular dance performers.

    The real King of Pop? Michael Jackson leaving his London hotel last week


    Amid massively hyped scenes at London's O2 Arena nine days ago, this was Michael Jackson addressing a press conference. Or was it?
    As tickets for his extended series of 50 summer shows sold out in record time yesterday - with prices of up to a staggering £25,000 being demanded on the resale market - an intriguing question was beginning to trouble even some of his most unwavering supporters. Was the quivering figure in the aviator shades and sparkly jacket that day an imposter?
    Naturally, the official response is that it was Jacko. But they would say that, wouldn't they? Others are speculating that - for whatever reason - it was merely a convincing impersonator.
    The internet is buzzing with suggestions that the MJ the world saw during a four-minute appearance at O2 might not have been the MJ fans know and love.
    Ludicrous conjecture? Well, maybe so. But like many internet-based rumours, this one is beginning to snowball.


    Double trouble: Michael Jackson, left, with impersonator Navi





    Speculation began even before the nervous-looking figure stepped through the scarlet silk curtains. No explanation was given for why he was more than 90 minutes late. Questions over his health circulated in the throng.
    The first glimpse of him was on a giant video screen above the stage. It certainly looked like Michael Jackson. The jacket was a cross between circus-ring MC and Eastern European military. Boots, sunglasses, and jet-black hair. All OK so far.
    But then came the walk, an awkward, loping stride. He paused momentarily beside a golf cart, probably assuming it was going to take him into the arena - but was ushered in on foot.
    Next, the voice. The few words he stumbled over at the microphone had far more bass than many expected. If you closed your eyes you would surely have had trouble identifying him as the more familiar, childlike 50-year-old with a penchant for spending time innocently with small boys.
    The old face: Jackson in the Thriller video in 1984

    Trouble is, surgery and image enhancement mean that few people really know what MJ will look like when they meet him.
    Whatever differences there might have been, however, it was enough to get the internet theorists moving. One site draws attention to his hands (fingers not long enough to be Michael's, apparently). Another suggests he was too tall.
    But why use a lookalike? The (speculative) theory is that Jackson - filmed falling on the steps of his minibus before it left for the Arena - was either injured or too ill to appear in person. With millions at stake in ticket sales, who would be bold enough to disappoint the waiting fans and international broadcasters now?
    Jackson, a 13- Grammy award winner, is one of the most successful performers on the planet. He has sold over 750million records.
    Spoof stories about him are rife, including one detailing how an impersonator has been fooling fans for years after MJ's corpse was found on his Neverland ranch.
    Nor is it the first time he has been at the centre of 'lookalike' controversy. In 1999 'Michael' made an unlikely appearance at the Queen's Theatre in Barnstaple, north Devon, during an event run by martial arts school entrepreneur Matt Fiddes. Accompanied by ten bodyguards, he sang four numbers before vanishing in a stretch limo.
    Many of the 450 present, including backstage theatre staff, were convinced they had been in the presence of a music legend. Even a statement from Jackson's record company, making it clear he was in Los Angeles at the time, failed to dampen enthusiasm.

    This is it: Jackson announces plans for a summer residency at the O2 Arena


    Mr Fiddes, 28, has always refused to confirm the identity of his star turn - but had no such reservations about the O2 appearance. 'It was definitely Michael,' he said. 'He looked a bit thinner than normal, and maybe he didn't seem quite himself, but the voice was right.'
    Jackson's double 'Navi', regarded as his No 1 impersonator, also dismissed the rumours.
    The Essex-based lookalike, who has previously acted as a decoy for the star, was mobbed outside the Arena that day by fans who were convinced he was the real thing. 'That was Michael Jackson, I'd stake my life on it,' he told me. 'He is so reclusive, most people don't know what he really looks like. When he's not on stage, he does walk with a slight hunch.
    'If that wasn't Michael Jackson, I might as well give up - because it means there must be someone out there who's better than me.'
    Perhaps unsurprisingly, the rumours were greeted with derision in the Jackson camp.
    'It's completely ridiculous,' an Arena source said. 'We can categorically guarantee it was Michael Jackson on stage. Maybe Elvis was at the press conference too.'

    Cristiano Ronaldo has donated £100,000 to the hospital that helped saved his mother's life when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

    The Manchester United star's cash will help build a specialist centre at the Portuguese League Against Cancer charity, located on the 24-year-old's native Madeira.

    Dolores Santos, 54, was treated successfully there in 2007 when she found a lump in her breast.

    A friend told the Sunday Mirror: "Cristiano is eternally grateful to the doctors and nurses who saved his mum's life."

    Sophie Ellis-Bextor was reportedly back in the recording studio just nine days after her son was born via caesarean section.

    Kit Valentine weighed just 2lb 10oz when he was born prematurely last month.

    The singer, who is married to The Feeling guitarist Richard Jones, had thought she would take several weeks off work following the ordeal.

    However, the Daily Mail reports that the 30-year-old was back in the studio working on a single with Jones just over a week later.

    "Sophie was in with us to pen a duet," the band's lead singer Dan Gillespie said, adding: "She's recovered from the operation and looks great."

    Congrats to Sophie and Richard. Back to work after nine days, amazing. Hope that little Kit grows strong quickly

    SKINT Kerry Katona has let husband Mark Croft back into her home — just days after kicking him out.
    Their split was sparked by fears that millions of pounds of her money was missing.

    Kerry vowed never to let Croft back in her life, saying: “He’s been destroying my life. Mark is dead to me.” But Croft has returned to their £1.2million home after pleading: “I’ve got nowhere left to go.”

    Ex-Atomic Kitten singer Kerry, 28, called in financial trouble-shooters last week to unravel her shambolic affairs.

    She has made about £1million a year through Iceland TV adverts and magazine deals, but is supposedly so broke she can’t afford to buy food and pay bills.

    Since meeting 38-year-old Croft in 2006, Kerry has earned more than £6million, but he has blown much of it on motorbikes, luxury cars and shopping sprees.
    The anxious star told pals yesterday the couple may be together at the Cheshire home, but things are NOT back to normal — even though they were seen kissing and holding hands when they went out yesterday afternoon.

    She insisted ex-cabbie Croft will be out again if it emerges he has put a foot wrong with her money.

    and made bankrupt over an unpaid £80,000 tax bill — revealed: “Kerry’s been a complete mess since the break-up.

    “She’s on so much medication she hardly knows what’s going on.

    “She hasn’t the strength to fight — and Mark knows he holds all the cards. He’s been frantically trying to patch things up all weekend.

    “So far he’s weaselled his way back into her home and he’s already answering all her phone calls.

    “Kerry can’t be on her own. She always likes to have a man in her life — even if that man is Mark.”

    Croft is the father of Kerry’s two youngest kids — Heidi, two, and ten-month-old Max. She has two children from her first marriage to Westlife star Brian McFadden — Molly, seven, and Lilly-Sue, six.

    A team of investigators led by top showbiz finance guru Frank Cochran are still burrowing though a maze of accounts to find out where Kerry’s money has gone.

    But a pal said: “Mark’s doing his best to stop the probe. He answered Kerry’s phone when they tried to ring her and basically hung up.

    “He’s gone through all the accounts on the family laptop to convince Kerry that there’s no money squirrelled anywhere — but she’s insisting that the investigation continues.”

    kylie Minogue gets £800K for Bollywood song





    Kylie Minogue was reportedly paid £800,000 for performing one song for the Bollywood film Blue.
    The Australian singer bagged the title of the highest paid foreign celebrity and also reportedly enchanted her co-star Akshay Kumar with her performance.
    Kumar told the Daily Star: "Kylie couldn't have been more perfect. Her beautiful voice and bubbly personality are adored by so many. She is the perfect diva."
    Minogue, who pocketed a rumoured £1.5 million for a 45-minute set in Dubai, said she had 'arrived on set as a stranger but left considering myself as family'.
