Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona has hit back at allegations that she was drunk while doing a This Morning interview yesterday. "Kerry would like to categorically state for the record that that the only thing she drank before the show was cups of tea," said her husband Mark Croft. Katona appeared erratic, slurring her speech and seeming disorientated. “Having answered the questions to the best of her ability, Kerry was upset at the insinuation that she was on anything other than the prescription drugs, which she has always been honest about taking," Croft added. This Morning presenter Philip Schofield denied that the star had been ambushed, saying that she arrived too late for producers to assess her condition. She was "obviously very, very angry with us and she got up and walked out of the studio with her husband," he said. SOURCE: BBC(23/10/2008)

Britney Spears is planning to dress up as herself for Halloween.
The popstar will reportedly go to her own party wearing a bald cap to make fun of her infamous head-shaving incident from early 2007.
A friend is quoted as saying: "Britney has always loved Halloween. She's got a lot of friends and family coming over and they'll all be in costume. She's thinking of going as herself but back in her shaven head days.
"She's genuinely horrified when she looks back at those times, so she figures that look would be a great costume for Halloween. She won't actually be shaving her head this time though!"
THE mother of Oscar winning actress JENNIFER HUDSON has been killed.
Investigators say two shooting victims were discovered inside a home belonging to Hudson's mother just before 3pm on Friday.
One of the victims was 57-year-old Darnell Hudson.
The other victim was identified as Jennifer's brother, Jason.
A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies.
The shooting is believed to be domestic, police said.
Jennifer won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Dreamgirls. She recently announced her engagement to boyfriend David Otunga
Fern Britton has spoken out about a sex attack ordeal when she was younger.
The This Morning presenter had handed in two lost dogs to a local police station in Cambridge when she was 21.
She later returned to the station, where the duty sergeant told her that the owner of the animals had collected them and would like to thank her for returning them.
After a pleasant first meeting, Britton ended up inviting the man round for dinner at her flat, where he started to make advances.
"Before I knew what was happening he was up on his feet and trying to kiss me - pushing me against the wall, then down on to the floor," the star writes in her autobiography, serialised in the Daily Mail.
"It was a long time before I told anyone. I knew I had put myself in a dangerous position ... I'd invited this stranger into the flat so it was my fault it had happened. I had agreed to a dinner date. I had let him do what he did."
She added that she has since "blotted" the incident out of her memory and got on with her life.
Good on her but not all can "just" get on with it and blotting it out might not be the answer for everybody.
US police hunting for actress Jennifer Hudson's missing seven-year-old nephew say they have found a boy's body in a car they were seeking in the case.
Julian King has not been seen since Hudson's mother and brother were found shot dead in their Chicago home.
Police issued a search alert for Julian and the 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban vehicle after Friday's discovery.
There is no confirmation of the body's identity. Hudson has offered a $100,000 reward for her nephew's safe return.
In Washington, FBI deputy director John Pistole said at a news conference that the authorities had found a body "who we believe to be the missing victim in Chicago, the nephew of Jennifer Hudson. We are working with Chicago police to get a positive identification of the victim".
Police confirmed the white vehicle was one they were looking for
Aerial pictures showed the vehicle being photographed by police and then towed from West Side, Chicago.
Police later said the licence plate number matched the number listed in an earlier police alert issued about the boy's disappearance.
Earlier, Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said detectives were working around the clock on the case.
"There's a lot of forensic evidence. We have to work the evidence and try and solve this case. Most importantly, we want to find the child," she said.
Julian's mother Julia, Jennifer Hudson's sister, found the bodies of Darnell Donerson, 57, and Jason Hudson, 29, at the family home.
Julia's husband, William Balfour - the boy's stepfather - has been arrested. No charges have been laid.
He was transferred from police custody on Sunday to the Illinois Department of Corrections "based on his active parole violation unrelated to this investigation," a corrections spokeswoman told AP.

Omg this is so sad :( :crying: RIP to all three of them :( x
That is terrible news :( :crying: Poor Jennifer and the rest of the family!
Chicago police have confirmed that the body of Jennifer Hudson's nephew has been found.
The seven-year-old was missing since Hudson's mother and brother were shot dead at the family home on Friday.
Police launched a massive search for Julian King over the weekend, while the star's family put up a $100,000 (£65,000) reward for the child's safe return.
Police hunting for the youngster confirmed that they found the body of a boy in a car left on a Chicago street. Hudson reportedly identified her dead nephew at the Cook County Medical Examiner's office yesterday afternoon.
Julian was the son of the actress and singer's sister Julia Hudson. Her estranged husband William Balfour - the boy's stepfather - has been detained for an alleged parole violation "unrelated to this investigation".
No-one has yet been charged for the killings.

Michael Crichton has died at the age of 66 after battling cancer.
The author was best known for penning Jurassic Park and sequel The Lost World, which were both famously adapted for the big screen. He also created US medical drama ER and served as the show's executive producer.
He died unexpectedly in Los Angeles yesterday, having fought "a courageous and private battle against cancer".
"While the world knew him as a great storyteller that challenged our preconceived notions about the world around us, and entertained us all while doing so, his family and friends knew Michael Crichton as a devoted husband, loving father and generous friend who inspired each of us to strive to see the wonders of our world through new eyes," read a statement posted on the writer's website.
"Michael's talent out-scaled even his own dinosaurs of Jurassic Park," said Steven Spielberg, who directed the movie version of the novel.
"He was the greatest at blending science with big theatrical concepts, which is what gave credibility to dinosaurs again walking the Earth."
Other Crichton books adapted for the big screen include Congo and Disclosure.
Ryan Gosling has reportedly split from girlfriend Rachel McAdams again.
The pair first dated after meeting on the set of 2004 movie The Notebook but split three years later. They reunited in July and were spotted kissing at a Toronto restaurant.
However, friends now claim that the pair have once again gone their separate ways.
"Rachel is too controlling. They broke up the first time because of their busy schedules and that's the problem again," an insider told Us Weekly.
Simon Cowell gave ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour a $9.6million (£6m) 'goodbye gift' as part of their split, it has been revealed.
The X Factor supremo and his girlfriend of six years ended their relationship six weeks ago. But according to American magazine Life & Style Cowell gave Seymour $5m in cash, in addition to a $4.6m mansion in Beverly Hills as a parting gift. Terri now owns the luxury Los Angeles apartment that Cowell, who is worth £130million, bought for her when she moved out of their shared home this summer.
It features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an impressive view.
'Simon thinks the world of Terri, and that isn't going to change. He also understands her reason for ending it,' a source told the magazine.
Seymour wanted to marry and start a family, whereas Cowell recently said: 'I don't want to marry anyone, because whoever marries me will end up hating me.'
The stunning 34-year-old TV presenter is now believed to be dating 35-year-old Hollywood actor Stephen Dorff, whom she met in September.
Cowell, who is one of TV’s highest-paid stars, has given her new love his blessing and has privately said he is delighted to be free of the relationship.
'Simon has basically been waiting for Terri to announce the relationship is over for months,' a friend revealed.
Simon Cowell is reportedly furious after Beyoncé was given a song originally intended for Leona Lewis' new album.
Lewis had been expected to record 'Halo' and release it as the first single from her second album. The song was written for The X Factor winner by OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who also penned 'Bleeding Love'.
The track was then given to Beyoncé because Lewis was "too busy to record it", according to The Sun.
"Leona’s diary is so rammed it didn’t look like she could record it until next year. Ryan didn’t want to hang around, so he gave it to Beyoncé," an insider told the newspaper.
"Simon is miffed about this as he really wanted 'Halo' for Leona. Ryan has proved he’s got the magic touch - 'Bleeding Love' was a massive global hit."
Lewis is expected to release the follow up to debut album Spirit in 2009 and embark on a world tour the following year.

Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch has changed ownership, according to legal papers.
The new keeper of the sprawling estate, which includes an amusement park and zoo, is Sycamore Valley Ranch Co. LLC, a joint venture between Jackson and an affiliate of Colony Capital LLC.
Colony bought out the singer's £12 million ($23.5 million) debt on the property in May to ensure that it remained in his hands. That deal came after the popstar was told the ranch would be foreclosed and sold at auction after he ran into arrears.
Jackson's financial problems since his arrest in 2003 on child molestation charges and subsequent acquittal have meant that he has not lived at the 2,500-acre property for nearly five years.
The fate of Neverland, which lies 120 miles north west of Los Angeles, remains unknown. The singer named the ranch after the mythical childhood land in Peter Pan, once saying: "It's like stepping into Oz. Once you come in the gates, the outside world does not exist."
Leon Jackson has revealed that he is dating former 'X Factor' star Emily Biggs.
The pair met when they both took part in the talent show last year, with Biggs performing as part of the group Hope.
Speaking to the Daily Record, Jackson said: "We are dating. It is a very recent thing so I'm sorry to break everybody's heart."
"We've been friends since the show and have always kept in touch."
"Now she lives quite near me so it's great because we have got to really know each other," he said.
"We just thought we were good friends and thought, 'Why not cross that line?'"
"I've always thought she was pretty. It's cool. It's different."
"We just chill at each other's flats and go to the cinema. Sometimes we go out into town and she drags me round the shops."
Angelina Jolie has revealed plans to bow out of acting to concentrate on raising her family.
The 33-year-old star has a six children with Brad Pitt, including four-month-old twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, a daughter named Shiloh and adopted siblings Maddox, Zahara and Pax.
She was interviewed by the BBC while promoting her new film, 'Changeling', directed by Clint Eastwood.
Asked in the interview whether she thought the possibility of her looks fading could affect a lengthy career, Jolie said: "I don't think about it much because I don't plan to keep acting very long."
Laughing, she continued: "I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day. So I'm not so worried that I want to keep this pace up and try to be something and be a celebrity and be a successful actress forever.
"I think it's nice, I've had a time to tell stories and be able to be successful enough to tell the ones I want to tell, and (to) earn some money at the same time is great.
"But everything comes in seasons and, you know, I hopefully won't be needing to do that later in my life in any way."
But Jolie would not rule out returning to work for interesting projects.
Asked if she had given herself a cut-off point when she no longer wanted to be an actress, Jolie said: "I don't think I'll ever say I'm never ever going to work because maybe there's that interesting project where I feel creative - but certainly I think now I haven't worked for a year."
"I'll work for a few months in February. I won't work again probably for another year. So maybe it'll be once a year and maybe it'll be once every three years and just naturally - I like being home a lot these days."
Jesse Metcalfe was briefly hospitalized after falling from a second-story balcony in Monaco on Sunday, but suffered "no long term damage," according to his rep.
The Desperate Housewives actor, who was in Monaco to help host the World Music Awards, was sitting on the ledge of a balcony at the famous Jimmy'z club when he toppled backwards and fell 30 to 40 feet, says his London-based rep.
He was rushed to the Grasse hospital nearby where he had an X-ray and brain scan, and was discharged early Monday. He later flew to London where he was admitted to a private hospital and underwent a CAT scan. "Luckily for him it came up a clean bill of health," says the rep.
Metcalfe has a fractured fibular but "no long term damage" – though he does have some restricted movement in his legs, says his rep. The actor will undergo some physiotherapy.
"To have fallen that distance and not have any major injuries was a miraculous escape," says the rep. "It was a very scary experience for him and those of us who saw him. It was a nasty fall. He was found face down on the floor … It could easily have been fatal."
Metcalfe is "shocked and realizes how lucky he has been," the rep adds. "He is in good spirits and is putting a brave face on it.
Metcalfe, who has spent time in rehab for alcohol problems, had a "couple of glasses of champagne" after working at the award show, adds his rep.
Scarlett Johansson has told American magazine, Allure, that she doesn't know why Lindsay Lohan doesn't like her. "I really don't know that person. I only met her, like, three times," says the Lost In Translation actress. Lohan allegedly scrawled offensive words about Scarlett on a bathroom stall of the Big Apple, two years ago. "That's what I heard," Johansson says of the incident. "I don't know what the motivation was behind that. I remember it was something really vulgar — I mean, shockingly so, like, 'Whoa, what, who are you?'" SOURCE: USMAGAZINE
Natalie Imbruglia and Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am seem to be the latest celebrity pairing to hook up. The Aussie songstress and rapper apparently spent the night snogging at private members' club, No 5 Cavendish Square, in front of the likes of Sienna Miller, Jesse Metcalfe and Calum Best. "It was a very boozy night in one of the private VIP rooms. A few models and the stars got through a number of magnums of champagne and vodka. Natalie and Will were getting on really well, and there were some surprised looks when they started kissing," a source said.
Natalie split up with her husband Daniel Johns in January after five years of marriage and, since then, has been linked to Johnny Borrell and Kings of Leon's Nathan Followill.

The man who can sing, dance, and make furry mutton chops and blades shooting from his knuckles sexy, has a new title: People's Sexiest Man Alive.
Hugh Jackman, 40, who is starring in the forthcoming Baz Lurhmann epic Australia, beat out the likes of Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Michael Phelps, among others, for the top honor.
Surprised by the magazine's choice? After seeing his photos that accompany the article, his rock-hard body and 1000-watt smile may convince you otherwise.
With his Wolverine costume shed, women on the set of Australia saw a whole new side to Jackman. According to costar Nicole Kidman, he left people stammering, "Oh ... my ... God," adding that "Women's jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room."
Jackman has been married for 12 years to Deborra-Lee Furness. She calls his hot bod "the Body of Doom — but I like what's inside": a guy who sings (he won a Tony for his performance in the musical Boy from Oz) romantic ballads and makes pancakes for his kiddies.
The couple met on an Australian TV show, Corelli, in which Furness played his leading lady. They have two adopted children Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3.
Australia opens on Nov. 26, and his next big starring vehicle X-Men Origins: Wolverine opens May 1, 2009.
Cheryl Cole has been asked to appear on the cover of Vogue magazine.
The Girls Aloud singer has reportedly been approached to grace the front page of the biggest fashion magazine in the world, confirming her status as a modern fashion icon.
A fashion insider said: "Offers have been flooding in to Cheryl's management for her to do loads of big fashion glossy magazines, but they wanted to hold out for the big one.
"Cheryl was so excited when they got the phone call. They're looking at the February or March issue. Everyone in the fashion world wants a piece of her at the moment."
A host of top designers are desperate to work with Cheryl including Matthew Williamson, who has been personally styling her for her role as a judge on British TV talent show 'The X Factor'.
A source close to Cheryl, 25, said: "She looks fantastic and people really want her to wear their clothes. There is no shortage of designers wanting to dress Cheryl.
"She is naturally stylish and super flawless. Every store on the high street is looking to Cheryl to see what she is wearing."
Last week, Cheryl was spotted wearing an ultra-trendy dress by label PPQ at the Music Industry Trust awards show.
PPQ designer Amy Molyneaux said: "Her style has always been there, it's just now is the time for her to shine."
Pamela Anderson wants marijuana to be legalised.
The former 'Baywatch' star has written an open letter to US President-elect Barack Obama, outlining ways to make the country better.
Pamela believes cultivating the illegal substance would "save children" and help the environment.
She wrote on her official blog: "I think we should legalise marijuana, tax and monitor - farm hemp etc. This would make our borders less corrupt and then I think eventually this will be a more secure option and save children in the long run - we should be able to farm hemp in America - it's just silly. It would create jobs and be good for the environment."
Pamela also controversially suggests anyone found guilty of molesting children or possessing child pornography, should be castrated for their crimes.
She continues: "Government must castrate every molester - potential molester - err on the safe side. If any child pornography is found in anyone's possession, or anyone creating such atrocities, or if any child is brave enough to come forward (at any young age to bring attention to a potential molester - listen) they need to be taken very seriously and see that justice is served.
"The abuse is way worse than any trial could be - our children need more protection and justice seen. It needs to be PREVENTED not just punished."
MADONNA and GUY RITCHIE will share one last “quickie” today — their divorce.
But neither will be present when their seven-year marriage is officially declared over.
Madonna is in Philadelphia for the latest leg of her Sticky and Sweet world tour while Guy will be in Liverpool with son Rocco filming Sherlock Holmes.
The divorce sped through after the couple struck a deal on property, money and access to their kids. Last night Guy, 40, said: “It dragged on much too long and that had nothing to do with me. But it was never ever about money.”
As The Sun reported last month, Guy will keep the Punchbowl pub in London’s Mayfair and his beloved Wiltshire estate.
He will also get a cash payment equivalent to the value of their Marylebone townhouse — around £25million.
Film director Guy is worth £30million in his own right and could have claimed as much as half Madonna’s £300million fortune.
He is accepting far less — but reports he is refusing to accept even a penny infuriated the Queen of Pop, 50.
A source said: “Madonna is livid that people think he hasn’t asked for a penny when he is walking away with millions.” Their case — Ciccone M L v Ritchie G S — is listed before District Judge Reid today.
Their decree nisi is to be announced at 10am in Court 10 of the Principal Registry of the High Court’s Family Division in High Holborn, central London.
A pal said: “It was threatening to become the messiest bunfight in years.”
The source said Rocco, eight, and adopted son David Banda, three, will split their time between America and Britain while 12-year-old Lourdes — Madonna’s daughter from an earlier relationship — will live with her mum full-time.
