Celebrity Gossip

Good songwriters avoid clichés, and Mandy Moore's new fiancé is a pretty solid songwriter: Ryan Adams has popped the question, and didn't do it on Valentine's Day.

The 24-year-old singer/actress and Adams, 34, have dated off-and-on since March 2008, according to People. Further details on the engagement have not been released.

Moore has been romantically linked to DJ AM, musician Greg Laswell, tennis star Andy Roddick and actors Zach Braff and Wilmer Valderrama.

Adams is best known for his song "New York, New York."

Moore's next album, Amanda Leigh, is slated for a release date of May 26.

Rihanna has decided to end her relationship with Chris Brown following their alleged altercation last weekend, according to a report.

Brown was arrested on February 8 amid claims that he had turned violent in an argument with the 'Disturbia' singer.

The News Of The World has now suggested that Rihanna considered taking Brown back following the incident, but changed her mind following discussions with her family and close friends.

An insider revealed: "Rihanna really did think that Chris was the love of her life. But when everyone started to question their relationship, she burst into tears and reluctantly agreed that they were right. She just can’t believe it's ended this way."

Brown's father recently insisted that the R&B star is "very remorseful", but warned that there are "two sides to every story".

Peter Stringfellow has reportedly tied the knot with his 27-year-old girlfriend during a Valentine's Day ceremony on Barbados.

The 68-year-old nightclub boss began dating Bella Wright five years ago after she quit the English National Ballet to work at his London lapdance club.

An onlooker told the Sunday Mirror that the former ballerina was "radiant - and stunning in her tiny swimsuit".

Stringfellow, who has been married twice before, is apparently "besotted" with his new wife and said: "I'll never want to be with anyone more than I want to be with Bella. I love Bella."

A friend added that the age gap between the two no longer bothers either of them.

Jimmy Osmond has revealed that he had no idea he had a hole in his heart until he suffered a stroke at the age of 40.

The youngest of The Osmonds, who is currently appearing as the Teen Angel in the West End version of Grease, said that he was overcome with a blinding headache five years ago as he was recording his TV show Jimmy Osmond's American Jukebox.

The 45-year-old told the Mail On Sunday that doctors decided to examine his heart after diagnosing the stroke.

"I'd been feeling pretty exhausted and assumed the stroke had been something to do with that," he said. "Yet I had never had high blood pressure, high cholesterol or any other problems that could have given any clues as to why I would have a stroke. The doctors decided to take a look at my heart."

A scan revealed a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) - a hole in the wall separating the upper chambers of the heart. It was a birth defect that had never been discovered.

Osmond has since vowed to enjoy life in moderation, exercise more and look after his health. "I am getting things under control. I think that I have finally realised that I can have it all - just not all at once," he said.

A stroke at age 40 :eek:

Chris Brown said he was "sorry and saddened" on Sunday, his first statement since the R&B singer skipped the Grammy Awards and turned himself in to police in a domestic violence investigation a week ago.

Brown, who has not been charged, was booked for investigation of a criminal threat stemming from an argument with an unidentified woman, authorities said. He was released on $50,000 bail.

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones, and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person," Brown said in a statement issued through publicist Michael Sitrick.

"Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and-or reported in the media is wrong," he said. But he said he couldn't discuss that claim in detail until his case was resolved.

Several media outlets, citing anonymous sources, have reported Brown's girlfriend, Rihanna, accused him of attacking her after a pre-Grammy party.

Brown and Rihanna each canceled their performances shortly before the Feb. 8 awards show. A call to Rihanna's rep on Sunday was not returned.

US Weekly magazine has reported that Heroes couple Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have split.

Sources told the mag, 'It was a lifestyle conflict – they were in different places,' but insists that the pair are ‘still on friendly terms.'

They began dating last year, but some reckon the 12 year age gap between 19-year-old Hayden and 31-year-old Milo might have had something to do with the split: 'She's young. She likes to go out in the Hollywood scene and that's not his style.

Actress Salma Hayek has married her fiance, French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault, her publicist has said.

Cari Ross confirmed the Mexican-born star married on Valentine's Day in Paris, but gave no further details.

The couple have a daughter named Valentina who was born in September 2007, several months after they announced their engagement.

The nuptials follow a rocky romance - the pair called off their engagement in July 2008, but later got back together.

Hayek, 42, was Oscar-nominated for portraying artist Frida Kahlo on the big screen and is an executive producer of hit US TV show Ugly Betty.

Last week, the star was filmed breastfeeding an African baby while visiting a Sierra Leone hospital.

During the fact-finding mission for children's charity Unicef, Hayek fed the baby boy because his own mother had stopped producing milk.

"He was very hungry - I was weaning my daughter Valentina, but I still had a lot of milk that I was pumping, so I breastfed the baby," she said at the time.

Pinault, 46, is chief executive of the French luxury and retail group PPR SA, which owns high-end labels such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Puma.

Bay City Rollers singer Les McKeown has revealed that he was raped by another man at the age of 19.

The star admitted that he was drugged and sexually abused while touring with the band in America 30 years ago.

"Date rape is the best way I can think of to explain how I was cajoled into a situation through drugs into having sex with another man," he explained in a new documentary for Living TV.

"It happened in America in a hotel room. I was given Quaaludes, a drug for lowering your inhibitions and making you horny.

"Afterwards I felt really used and abused. I never told anybody about it, not even the other guys in the band, because I was ashamed."

McKeown, who is the only original member still in the band, admitted that the experience made him question his sexuality.

"Maybe part of the shame was that I actually enjoyed it. Before that, I always thought I was straight, but what was happening to me was very erotic and I felt pleasure from it," he said.

"Now I think a lot of the shame I've felt ever since has to do with the person who did that to me. I hated him. I tried to drink it away and push that memory into obscurity."

The Bay City Rollers sold over 300 million albums worldwide after rising to fame in the 1970s with hits including 'Shang-A-Lang' and 'Bye Bye Baby'.

Dame Vera Lynn has consulted her legal team after the British National Party (BNP) used two of her performances on a compilation CD without her permission.

The BNP has named the album White Cliffs Of Dover after the 91-year-old's famous wartime song and also includes her version of 'All Alone In Vienna' on the disc.

Lynn's tracks feature alongside songs from other artists including The Andrew Sisters and Glenn Miller.

Her solicitor Nigel Angel said: "Her position is that the song was included without her approval. She does not align with any political party. I will be discussing it with her further."

Her MP Norman Baker added: "The BNP will try to imply they have the support of individuals by this kind of action when they clearly don't have their support - it's extremely regrettable."

Defending the move, BNP deputy leader Simon Darby commented: "It is a commercially available piece of music and it is not as if we have bootlegged it.

"It is something you could buy off Amazon and we are proud to stock. There are a number of songs on the album and by no means are we implying Dame Vera is a nationalist."

I bet they aren't paying royalties on those tracks.

By using her songs they are implying that she supports them. Nobody in their right mind would want to be associated with a political party that can be likened to the Nazis.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart have fuelled rumours of a wedding by reportedly taking blood tests and obtaining licences.

The couple, who live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, have been together since 2002 and became engaged in April 2007.

New York Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams said: "Jackson Hole bigmouths swear Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart took blood tests and got licences so could be they already are, or soon will be, filing joint returns."

Flockhart, 44, has son Liam, whom she adopted as a baby in 2001. Ford has grown-up sons Benjamin and Willard with first wife Mary Marquardt, as well as son Malcolm and daughter Georgia from his second marriage to Melissa Mathison.

A photograph supposedly of Rihanna taken in the aftermath of the alleged attack on her by Chris Brown has been leaked to the media.

The image, which was published on TMZ yesterday, shows what appears to be the singer with cut lips and bruises on her face.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said: "The unauthorised release of a domestic violence photograph immediately generated an internal investigation.

"A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination."

He added that the LAPD "takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence".

Earlier this week, reports suggested Rihanna felt that Brown should have "expressed more contrition" in his public statements following the incident.

Could be photoshopped so not going to believe it 100% yet. But if it is true, damnnn.. :(

If it was photoshopped the police wouldn't have launched an in investigation into the leak.

Somebody will lose their job over this.

Kelly Osbourne has reportedly completed her latest spell in rehab.


The DJ voluntarily entered a treatment centre in the LA area last month, suffering from an undisclosed addiction.


According to Metro, the 24-year-old has now completed the programme and was seen out shopping in Malibu with her mum Sharon.


The former X Factor judge previously said that she was proud of her daughter for recognising that she needed help.


The stint is Kelly's third in rehab. She completed treatment for an addiction to prescription painkillers in 2004 but was reported to have admitted herself to a clinic the following year after relapsing.

Hollywood actress and poet Dorothy Bridges has died at the age of 93.

The widow of actor Lloyd Bridges, she was also known as the creative force behind the careers of her sons Beau and Jeff Bridges.

Jeff told the Los Angeles Times that she was the "hub" of the acting family.

"My dad was sort of the front man - he was out there getting public attention. But my mom was behind the scenes, sort of holding the whole thing together, and she did that with her own particular brand of verve," he said.

"She was such a creative person and inspired us all to be creative."

Her acting credits included appearances in Sea Hunt, The Thanksgiving Promise, the 1989 film See You In The Morning and the 1994 TV movie Secret Sins Of The Father.

Dorothy was also a respected poet, performing for Bob Hope at the Hollywood Bowl and publishing the story of her romance with Bridges in the book You Caught Me Kissing. She is survived by her two sons and daughter Lucinda, her brother Frederick Simpson Jr., 11 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

RIP Dorothy

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are expecting their second child, the Good Charlotte singer has announced.

Madden wrote on the band's website that the way he was feeling was "better than winning an Oscar". The couple welcomed their first daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden last January, and have both since spoken of the "thrills" of parenthood.

The 29-year-old frontman wrote: "I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family. Hope [you're] all feeling as good as I am right now."

Congratulations to them :cheer:

Sir Richard Branson has spoken about the loss of his first daughter, who died when she was just a few days old in 1979.

The Virgin tycoon described the experience as "horrendous" and said that it was an experience that his wife, Joan, has never fully come to terms with.

Clare Smith was born three months prematurely and died in a hospital incubator after being born at just 25 weeks.

Speaking to Mail On Sunday columnist Piers Morgan for an interview to be broadcast on ITV1 next Sunday, Branson said: "We were hoping and praying that the hospital would keep her alive, but it wasn't to be."

The couple, who have been together for 32 years, have since had two more children named Holly and Sam.

"The mending process takes time and it didn't really start until Holly was born 18 months later...but I suspect for the mother it's never completely completed," said the 58-year-old entrepreneur.

Sir Richard, who also speaks about his thirst for risk in Piers Morgan’s Life Stories: Sir Richard Branson, was recently held up as "inspirational" by actress Charlize Theron.

She said: "I think we want to surround ourselves with people who inspire you and push you, and this guy does that on a level that is out of control."

Aww, I never knew that, that is so sad :(

KATE BECKINSALE is to have a Pot Noodle named after her - called Steak and BeckinsALE.
The instant snack company decided to honour her with a limited edition flavour after she payed homage to them after the Oscars.

While most celebs were busy showing off their bling, the 36-year-old was lusting for some calorific noodles at SIR ELTON JOHN’s after show party.

The A-lister, who starred in Pearl Harbour and is married to Hollywood Director LEN WISEMAN, said: "I am hoping for a Pot Noodle and a cup of tea!"

Pot Noodle Flavour Development Manager, Grahame Walker, said: “We’re always on the look out for ideas for new flavours so when Miss Beckinsale announced her love for Pot Noodles we just had to make one in her honour.

“Steak & BeckinsALE is just like Kate – classically British and a tasty little number.”

Actor Andrew Sachs and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant John Sergeant were among the winners at the Oldie Awards ceremony in London.

Sachs, who was at the centre of the Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand phone calls row, won granddad of the year.

Sergeant, who eventually bowed out of BBC One's ballroom dancing show despite huge support, won hoofer of the year.

The awards are given out every year by The Oldie magazine to well-known older citizens who have made the headlines.

'All in the past'

Other winners included novelist Sir Terry Pratchett, named campaigner of the year for raising awareness of Alzheimer's Disease which he suffers from.

"I was a grumpy old man as well. I'm quite happy to be an oldie," said the 60-year-old writer.

Former Fawlty Towers star Sachs was given his prize for his "dignified response to the BBC furore surrounding phone calls about his granddaughter".

He explained that he wanted to put the incident behind him, and said: "I don't harbour grudges, it's happened, there we are, it's all in the past."

Sergeant said that his unconventional yet popular stint on Strictly Come Dancing had been "a great triumph".

"A mistake that some people made is that they seemed to think I was a bad dancer. Now I don't know how they got that impression, I did everything I could to stop that," he added.

Other winners included Liberal Democrat treasury spokesman Vince Cable for predicting the economic downturn, and writer Diana Athill for her memoirs of old age.

The event, which was founded in 1992, was hosted by Sir Terry Wogan.

:clap: :clap: Well done to all of them.

U2 frontman Bono Vox is one of the most recognisable rock 'n' roll stars on the planet. The Irish singer's penchant for political activism and cosy cups of tea with George Bush, Tony Blair and the Pope has helped his band become one of the most successful acts of the last 30 years. The group's 12th studio album No Line On The Horizon is released next week and to celebrate, we've gathered up ten intriguing tidbits about the frontman. Read on if you want to know why he always wears those blooming sunglasses!

1. Bono was born on May 10, 1960 in Glasnevin, Dublin. His real name is Paul David Hewson.

2. Before getting the nickname Bono, friends called him 'Steinvic von Huyseman', 'Huyseman', 'Bon Murray' and 'Bono Vox of O'Connell Street'. Pal Gavin Friday came up with the Bono Vox idea after spotting a hearing aid shop in Dublin with the name.

3. Why does Bono rarely leave the house without sunglasses? "[I have] very sensitive eyes to light. If somebody takes my photograph, I will see the flash for the rest of the day... So it's part vanity, it's part privacy and part sensitivity."

4. Bono's list of collaborators reads like a Who's Who of popular music. The singer's teamed up with stars as diverse as Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Luciano Pavarotti, Green Day, Bruce Springsteen, Kylie and Jennifer Lopez. Not bad!

5. Not just a singer, political activist and charity worker, Bono has also very occasionally tried his hand at movies. He appeared as Dr Robert in musical Across The Universe and filmed cameos in Million Dollar Hotel and Ronnie Drew: September Song.

6. He may come across like a rock 'n' roll superstar, but Bono's just as susceptible to everyday mistakes as the rest of us, such as forgetting his wife Ali Hewson's birthday. To make up for the error, he dedicated the track 'The Sweetest Thing' to her and gave all her all the sale proceeds. Oi Bono! We think you forgot our birthday as well!

7. If the singing career hadn't worked out, Bono may have taken up chess. "At 12 I studied the grandmasters, and I was fascinated," said the U2 star.

8. Bono holds the impressive title of being the only person to have been nominated for an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe, and the Nobel Prize. Flipping show off!

9. He may come across as a do-gooder, but Bono wasn't an angel at school. He was allegedly thrown out of Dublin's cathedral school St Patrick's for "throwing dog turds" at the Spanish teacher.

10. At U2's earliest gigs, Bono encouraged the band to do Bay City Rollers covers because he enjoyed hearing females fans getting excited. "We weren't really playing that kind of music but we noticed that if we played the first few chords of this particular Bay City Rollers song all the girls would scream - and we liked that."

Ivan, who had severe epilepsy and cerebral palsy, was taken ill overnight and died in hospital this morning

David Cameron's son Ivan, who was severely disabled, died early this morning, the Conservative party announced today.

Ivan, who was six and who was the eldest of Cameron's three children, needed constant care as a result of the severe epilepsy and cerebral palsy he had suffered from birth.

A Tory party spokesman announced the news of Ivan's death this morning.

"It is with great sadness that David and Samantha Cameron must confirm the death of their six-year-old son Ivan.

"Ivan, who suffered from cerebral palsy and severe epilepsy, was taken ill overnight and died at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, early this morning.

"David and Samantha would ask that their privacy is respected at this terribly difficult time."

The birth of Ivan in 2002 had a profound effect on Cameron, who had suffered very few setbacks in his life before this. The Tory leader has admitted that learning about Ivan's illness hit him "like a freight train", but his friends believe that the experience of caring for Ivan gave him a much deeper understanding of the difficulties faced by people with a less sheltered upbringing.

Ivan needed care at night and Cameron and his wife often took turns sleeping in his room. He also needed constant visits to hospital, and Cameron's passionate commitment to the NHS – which has marked him out from other Tory leaders – was largely influenced by the contact he has had with Ivan's carers.

The Camerons had to adapt their home in west London to accommodate Ivan, who needed a special lift to get him in and out of his bath.

Like Tony Blair, but unlike Gordon Brown, Cameron has always been keen to talk about his children and to be photographed with them. Ivan was not able to talk, but Cameron has spoken with obvious delight about the pleasure he got from seeing Ivan smile at him.

RIP Ivan. My thoughts go out to David and Samantha :(

Oh my god. That's terrible :(
RIP Ivan. Poor David and Samantha :( :(

Rihanna has reportedly reunited with Chris Brown, less than three weeks after being allegedly assaulted by the star.

The R&B singer is believed to be spending time with Brown at one of Sean Combs's homes on Miami Beach's Star Island.

A source told People magazine: "They're together again. They care for each other."

The insider added: "While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves."

Brown was arrested on suspicion of assaulting Rihanna in the early hours of February 8.

In the aftermath of the alleged incident, reports suggested that the 'Disturbia' star had agreed to dump her boyfriend following discussions with her family.

Not good news if he did in fact attack her unless he seeks treatment for his anger issues.

Oh Rihanna you silly girl

Hopefully she'll see how nasty he is and get rid of him for good. If he's willing hurt her, he's just not worth it.

Katie Price has revealed that she was sexually abused by a stranger at the age of six, a report claims today.

The glamour model is believed to have spoken about the ordeal for the first time in a TV interview with Piers Morgan, which is due to be broadcast next weekend.

According to the News Of The World, Price explained that the incident occurred while she played hide and seek at a park close to her home. It is believed that the attacker exposed himself to Price and one of her friends, before touching both girls.

"[It was] some weirdo. Oh, you know what I'm saying. Just some weirdo in a park," Price is quoted by the newspaper as saying.

After struggling to compose herself, she continued: "Well, it's never affected me. But obviously it must have done, for me to just feel like that. But I don't know. You just learn to get on with things, don't you? I haven't got a problem normally with it so I don't know why I do have a problem with it now."

Price added that, though the incident was investigated by police, her attacker was never caught.

The star's interview will be aired on Piers Morgan's Life Stories on ITV1 next Sunday.

Poor Katie :(

Farah Fawcett has reportedly dismissed her staff and said farewell to her friends as she prepares to die from cancer.

The Charlie's Angels actress said her goodbyes before flying to Germany, where she will undergo experimental treatment in a last-ditch attempt to battle the disease.

A friend told the Sunday Mirror: "Farrah is feeling very alone. She doesn't want friends to see her with no hair and she's coming to terms with her impending death. She has got rid of all her staff and she has told friends it is likely she won't come back. She is exhausted and very ill."

Fawcett, 62, was diagnosed with cancer in 2006 and was given the all-clear a year later following treatment. The cancer, which Fawcett calls the "terrorist inside my body", returned in 2007.

Another person dying of this terrible disease :(

Kerry Katona has had her Porsche Cayenne GTS repossessed.

The former Atomic Kitten star was forced to hand back the keys to the vehicle just three months after her Porsche Carrera was taken, according to the News Of The World.

Katona was declared bankrupt last August after failing to pay £82,000 of a £147,000 tax bill. She has reportedly since had her bank account and credit frozen.

"They had to call up the finance company and tell them to take back the cars because they don't have the cash to keep them," a source told the newspaper.

"The cars were on lease agreements—you can't keep those deals when you are facing bankruptcy proceedings."

Katona and her husband Mark Croft were last year forced to sell a Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Range Rover after coming into financial hardship.

Why did they have so many of these expensive cars? You can only ever drive one at a time :searchme:

POP star RIHANNA has told police she does NOT want to press charges against boyfriend CHRIS BROWN for allegedly battering her.

The 21-year-old is refusing to help with their investigation after rekindling her romance with the singer.

But detectives may still have a case against Brown, 19, and will hand their file to the Los Angeles County District Attorney later this week.

A police source said: “Rihanna says she doesn’t want to testify against him. She has had a change of heart and doesn’t want the case to proceed.

“However detectives are still building their case based on what she originally told them and accounts of witnesses.

“If the DA decides they have enough evidence, they can proceed without Rihanna’s testimony.”

Brown was said to have beaten her in a row after a pre-Grammys party on February 8.

Shocking pictures emerged of the Umbrella singer’s injuries — which included bruises to her eyes, nose and cheek and a swollen mouth.

But the couple began to make up when he called on her birthday last week and deluged her with gifts.

They were reunited in Miami during a stay at rapper SEAN "DIDDY" COMBS’ £14million home.

They flew to LA together on Monday.

Her family are said to be upset about the couple’s reconciliation.

A relative told a US magazine: “No one wants them back together. I don’t want her to make a mistake, and I don’t want her to ever go through this again.”

Fans have launched a web petition urging her not to get back with R&B star Brown.

It says on website dontdoitrihanna.com: “We the undersigned feel Chris Brown should not get another chance and Rihanna should move on.”

One comment posted said: “You are supposed to be a role model. Would you tell your fans to do this?”

Rihanna is an idiot :angry:

MILEY CYRUS was so badly bullied at school that a cheese sandwich she clung onto for dear life became “pretty much my best friend”.

Now a multi-millionaire TV, music and film star, she says her school days were “friendless, lonely and miserable” - leaving her in constant fear of physical abuse.


In her new book Miley Cyrus: Miles To Go, the Hannah Montana star talks candidly about the sad memories from her Tennessee high school.


She wrote: “The girls took it beyond normal bullying. These were big, tough girls. I was scrawny and short. They were fully capable of doing me bodily harm.”


One on occasion she was locked in a bathroom by her tormentors and challenged to a fight by ‘The Anti-Miley Club’.


She said: “It seemed like Operation Make Miley Miserable was escalating to a new level. More like Operation Take Miley Down.


“Three girls strutted up and stood towering over me. My stomach churned. I clutched my grilled cheese sandwich like it was the hand of my best friend.


“It pretty much was my best friend those days. I was done for.


“They started cussing me and telling me to get up. I sat there, frozen. I didn’t know what to do. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. I wasn’t chicken.


“What could they do to me? I was surrounded by people. I stood up, still a foot shorter then they were, and said: ‘What’s your problem? What did I ever do to you?’”


In the book, the 16-year-old star also spoke of “the hardest day ever” when she split up with JONAS BROTHERS star NICK, who she refers to as Prince Charming.


Explaining why the ended their relationship, she wrote: “Deep down I know we weren’t being our best selves. And that was what I wanted - and thought I deserved - in a relationship.”


Miley is now dating male model JUSTIN GASTON

Ashley Cole, the Chelsea and England footballer, has been arrested for being drunk and disorderly after a confrontation with police in London.

The 28-year-old was detained after swearing at officers having emerged from a nightclub in Chelsea, west London, in the early hours, sources said.

He was taken to a police station to sober up.

The footballer, who is paid £82,000 a week, was held for three hours and then issued with an £80 fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly and allowed to go home.

Cole had spent a night drinking at the Collection bar and restaurant in Brompton Road, Chelsea, and had earlier been pictured at a nearby charity event with ex GMTV presenter Fiona Phillips.

The club's website says it is an "upmarket" bar offering "fantabulous cocktails and a stylish crowd of twenty-somethings".

The incident will be another embarrassment to Cole's wife, Girls Aloud singer and X Factor judge Cheryl Cole.

She is currently climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania with a number of other celebrities in aid of Comic Relief.

Her marriage to Cole was put under strain last year over allegations of his infidelity.

Chelsea's new manager, Guus Hiddink, is a disciplinarian who will be unhappy that one of his top players was caught drunk three days before they face Coventry City in the FA Cup.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "At about 2.15am today, a man was arrested in Brompton Road, South Kensington, on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and taken to a central London police station where he was later issued with a fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly and released at 5.37am."

:eek: shock horror:lol: ashley got drunk and swore at coppers! my god weve all done that when we were young like him...well most of us

Big Brother host Davina McCall is planning to adopt an African child, a report claims.

The TV star and her husband Matthew Robertson are believed to have sought advice over the idea from movie director Guy Ritchie, who adopted Malawian child David Banda with Madonna in 2006.

A source told The People: "Davina wanted to know if there were any pitfalls to the process of adoption.

"Ritchie was very complimentary about his experiences with David. It was very reassuring for Davina to hear.

"Guy also told Davina that it may well be worth speaking to Madonna for her thoughts - and even offered to try and put her in touch."

The presenter has already worked in Africa for the charity Save The Children, as well as making numerous appearances on Comic Relief.

McCall and Robertson already have three children together - Holly, seven, Tilly, five, and Chester, two.

HERE'S the first picture of MEL C's baby, SCARLETT STARR.
The former SPICE GIRL gave birth to the tot last month and has continued to keep a low profile with partner THOMAS STARR - until now.

Mel was the only non-mother in the band during the 2007 Spice Girls Farewell Tour.

She admitted spending time with her bandmates and their kids made her feel broody.

Mel told Hello!: "Being backstage at the shows with the girls and all the kids made me think, 'Yeah I could be a good mum.'"

The girls have been quick to give messages of support to the new mum.

VICTORIA BECKHAM was the first to pass on her congratulations, saying: "I am extremely happy for Melanie and Thomas.

"They will be wonderful parents and I am hoping to meet baby Scarlet when I am in London in the next few weeks."

EMMA BUNTON, who gave birth to her first child shortly before the tour, added: "I went to see Melanie and Scarlet last week.

"Scarlet is one of the cutest little girls I’ve ever seen and Melanie is an absolutely natural mother. It was a real joy to spend time with them."

GERI HALLIWELL jokingly claimed her baby BLUEBELL acted as a good luck charm for Mel, as well as a number of her female pals.

Geri explained: "I do always say Bluebell is like some sort of fertility doll. Five friends got pregnant after playing with her, and then Melanie gets pregnant after the tour!

She added: "I'm so happy for Melanie. She has all the great qualities to make an excellent mother. I love the name Scarlet and wish them both so much happiness."

She is gorgeous (they both are :lol: )

Geri Halliwell has split from her fiancé Fabrizio Politi.

The former Spice Girl met Politi at a Florence nightclub in December and the couple enjoyed a whirlwind romance. The shipping tycoon proposed to her in his native Italy over Christmas.

According to a source, Halliwell "woke up one morning last week and decided she just wasn't the marrying type".

"She loved being in a relationship but decided that all she needs is her daughter Bluebell to keep her happy," the source told The Sun.

"Fabrizio is upset but totally respects Geri’s wishes. Her friends are not surprised - Geri has a track record for getting cold feet."

The star has previously dated radio DJ Chris Evans, singer Robbie Williams and has a two-year-old daughter Bluebell with Sacha Gervasi.

Aww, shame she can't seem to find a lasting relationship with anybody. :(

Better that she does this now than wake up the day after the wedding regretting it.
