Ronnie Wood will hire dwarfs to perform at his daughter's wedding, The Sun reports.

The Rolling Stones guitarist wants five actors, as short as 4ft, to dress up as elves and play pranks on guests at the reception for his daughter Leah's wedding to TV producer Jack Macdonald.

A source revealed: "They're working on a theme based on the character of Puck - the cheeky sprite from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream.

"The idea is to have little people in costume popping up. It's going to be a fabulous do with no expense spared and the elves will make it even more fun."

The Rolling Stones are also expected to play at the party, which will take place on June 21 at Ronnie Wood's home in Surrey.


Sounds good, I want dwarfs at my wedding.

FIERY chef Gordon Ramsay left Dannii Minogue’s hairdresser in tears by chopping off his locks with a kitchen knife.

Gordon, 41, mocked Christian Vermaak’s quiff while filming Channel 4’s The F Word — then surprised him by cutting off a chunk.

The chef — who chatted to pal David Beckham at the launch of his new LA restaurant on Wednesday — was riled after Dannii stuck up for Christian, 29.

The X Factor judge, 37, told Gordon that HE needed a trim.

A pal of the hairdresser — who also cuts Spice Girl Emma Bunton’s hair — said: “Gordon took an instant dislike to his perfectly formed quiff.

“He was taking the p*** all day. He just kept on and on about it.

“But Dannii hit back, saying his hair was a mess.

“Later on, Gordon called Christian into the kitchen and just grabbed a knife and cut a huge chunk off.

“Christian ran out of the kitchen really upset. He had a little cry. He’s a stylist and a real perfectionist.

“It was unexpected and he isn’t over the shock.

“It was a horrible experience. But Gordon seemed to think it was very funny.”

After filming on Sunday, the chef jetted to open the Gordon Ramsay eatery at The London West Hollywood Hotel. Becks, 33, is an old friend after Gordon cooked for the footballer’s 30th birthday party.

The ex-England captain is said to be planning his own restaurant.

Who the hell does Ramsay think he is to just chop off somebody's hair?

A spokesperson for the couple said: "I can confirm the two have split up. But they need time to sort out their personal problems."

Former Busted members Ki McPhail and Owen Doyle have lost their royalties court battle against the boyband.

The duo, who left the band in 2001 when manager Richard Rashman took over the group, claimed they were owed payment for their work on the singles 'Year 3000', 'Sleeping With The Light On', 'Psycho Girl', and 'What I Go To School For'.

McPhail and Doyle said they were forced by threats to give up their rights without payment.

High Court judge Mr. Justice Morgan dismissed the allegations earlier today, claiming neither was a reliable witness.

"[McPhail] quite plainly exaggerated and distorted the real events," said Morgan. "Owen was not a reliable witness either.

"He manifested a high degree of confusion and a failure to grasp the detail in relation to many of the significant events."

After the pair left the group, James Bourne and Matt Willis recruited Charlie Simpson and signed with Universal Records.

In a statement, Willis and Bourne said: "[This was] an opportunistic attempt by Doyle and McPhail to cash in on our success.

"Their claims were a complete fabrication and we are delighted that the judge has seen through this and totally dismissed them."

Doyle and McPhail face a legal costs bill reported to be around £1.7 million.

Former Busted star Matt Willis has returned to rehab for the third time, say reports.

The popstar admitted himself to The Priory after being given an ultimatum by his fiancée Emma Griffiths, according to The Mirror.

Griffiths apparently demanded that her partner got help after he spent a night partying with Amy Winehouse last month.

"He went too far after the night out with Amy," said a source. "He was so out of it he started swinging at photographers.

"He and Emma are supposed to get married next month and have a massive magazine deal but she told him he needs to sort himself out before she becomes his wife.

"She made him promise that he would give up drugs and heavy drinking - and she's devastated he broke that promise."

Willis has visited rehab in 2005 and 2006 for alcohol and drug addictions.

Paris Hilton has dismissed speculation that she is expecting a baby with boyfriend Benji Madden.

The socialite, who recently said she wants to start a family next year, was photographed with an apparently swollen stomach as she left an LA bar on Wednesday.

An onlooker was quoted as saying: "Paris definitely looked a lot bigger than she usually looks. She is either pregnant or had eaten a massive meal!"

However, Hilton's spokesperson was quick to quash the rumours, telling Us Weekly that they are “completely false".


Lord help us if she is pregnant

Amy Winehouse has been warned that she could become infected with gangrene at Glastonbury.

The troubled singer has been receiving medical advice about the sores on her face in recent months. According to the Daily Star, medics have told her that she must avoid all contact with mud if she does not want her condition to worsen. She may now be accompanied to the festival by a nurse, who would bandage her face overnight.

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has stated that she has "total faith" in Winehouse. However, the star's comeback got off to a poor start last week when she turned up late for a vital gig in Lisbon.

Nick Godwyn, who discovered Winehouse, recently claimed that she should beat her addictions before continuing with her music career.
