Gary Glitter will be deported to the UK next week after serving his sentence for child molestation.
The glam rock singer, real name Paul Gadd, has completed his 27-month sentence in a Vietnam prison. Glitter was convicted in March 2006 of committing "obscene acts with children".
The arrest concerned two Vietnamese girls from the coastal city of Vung Tau. His sentence was reduced by three months on appeal.
Glitter's legal representative Le Thanh Kinh said: "He will be deported back to Britain.
"Police booked his ticket from Ho Chi Minh City to London and I have already paid for the ticket on his behalf.
"My client will have to board a flight to London, his ticket has been bought by the authorities here. After he lands in London, he's free to go wherever he wants."
Glitter will leave Vietnam on Tuesday. He will be met by police in the UK and made to sign the sex offenders' register.
'Livin' La Vida Loca' singer Ricky Martin has become the father of twin boys.
Martin's surrogate mother gave birth several weeks ago, a representative has confirmed.
The babies' names and weights were not confirmed. The identity of the mother is also unknown.
"The children, delivered via surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky's full-time care," said a spokesperson.
"Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children."
Gary Glitter has been refused entry into Hong Kong, the Foreign Office has confirmed.
The former glam rock star, real name Paul Gadd, left Bangkok airport on a Thai Airways flight for the Chinese territory this afternoon.
He had refused to board a connecting flight from Bangkok to Heathrow this morning after claiming to be suffering from chest pains. However, he was later examined and declared fit to fly.
According to legal experts, British authorities do not have the power to force Glitter to return to the UK. Chinese officials are currently thought to be considering putting him on a flight back to Thailand.
Thai-based British journalist Andrew Drummond earlier told Sky News: "He has had access to British TV in his hotel and knows that if he does come back [to the UK], he might never be able to leave again."
The 64-year-old was released from prison in Vietnam on Thursday after serving two years and nine months of a three-year sentence for child molestation.
Kerry Katona has been declared bankrupt by the High Court.
The I'm A Celebrity... winner failed to pay the final £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill.
Katona was not present at the court earlier today. Her representative Luke Harris claimed that she was waiting for cheques to clear before she paid the money back.
Mr Registrar Nicholls allowed her legal team an extra hour to correct the balance, but they failed to do so.
It is the fourth time the case has been in court, but the final deadline was confirmed by Nicholls two weeks ago.
She was given the petition in January, but has repeatedly contested HM Revenue and Customs's demands.
Katona, who found fame in pop group Atomic Kitten, won ITV's I'm A Celebrity... in 2004. She has four children, two with singer Brian McFadden and two with current husband Mark Croft.
Jade Goody would have died within three months without emergency treatment for her cervical cancer, she has revealed.
The reality TV star was diagnosed with the illness while she was taking part in the Indian version of Big Brother six days ago. She immediately withdrew from the programme and returned to the UK for treatment and further tests.
Goody has now been told that she has a large tumour in her womb and will require a hysterectomy next week.
"My consultant said the cancer had got so big it filled half my womb. There was a chance it was in my bloodstream," Goody told The Sun. "She told me I'd need a hysterectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The biggest shock was when I asked what would have happened if I'd stayed in India for three months.
"Without hesitation she replied, 'Jade, you would have died'. I've got to make a joke about it or I'll go mad with the fear. If I go bald I'll get a big tattoo on my head. And I refuse to question whether or not I will die. It's not an option. I'll fight with all my strength."
Goody also admitted that she is heartbroken by accusations that her health scare is nothing more than a publicity stunt.
"I'm sitting here desperately trying to come to terms with the fact that I might die, while people are out there accusing me of making my illness up," she said. "Call me a racist, call me a bigot, a chav, whatever - but don't call me a liar over this."
The star had decided to take part in India's Big Boss to make amends for her part in the Celebrity Big Brother race row, which saw her branded a racist bully for her treatment of Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty.
Kerry Katona is planning to go ahead with her dramatic cosmetic surgery plans, despite being declared bankrupt this week.
The former Atomic Kitten star will be filmed for her reality TV series as she undergoes a body makeover, including a breast reduction, liposuction and laser treatment for her stretchmarks. She is expected to part with £15,000 for the transformation.
A bankruptcy order was issued by the High Court this week after Katona failed to pay the final £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill. Her representatives have insisted that the action will be annulled on Wednesday when funds for the bill finally clear.
Speaking about Katona's surgery plans, a source told the Daily Star: "She will be followed by a camera crew. But she has wanted this for a really long time, regardless of whether it was for TV or not.
"She knows she will be criticised for going through with it after what happened this week but she is not worried because she has money pouring into her bank accounts. The money is there - she is not skint by any means."
I must have missed something here. You can't be declared un-bankrupt if you pay back your debts within a week of an order being issued.
Has she got nothing more important to spend money on than getting rid of her stretchmarks?
Neighbours star Carla Bonner was banned from a flight at the weekend after clashing with an airline attendant over her luggage.
The actress, who plays Steph Scully on the Aussie soap, was checking in at Melbourne Airport for a flight to Newcastle, New South Wales, when she was warned that her hand luggage could be too large.
Bonner was told by the staff member that her bag would need to be measured and a heated exchange followed. She was in possession of a Light Fare ticket for a Jetstar Airways flight, restricting her to one piece of small hand luggage only.
The soap star eventually ended up staying in Melbourne. Despite claims from onlookers that she used foul language in her discussion with the airport worker, Bonner has insisted that she was not at fault.
"I am in the process of lodging a formal complaint about an incredibly rude staff member who I am sure regrets his behaviour,'' Bonner told the Daily Telegraph. "It's a shame because the other Jetstar staff I dealt with were terrific and very supportive.''
In August last year, Bonner was fined for driving offences. As well as using a licence that had not been renewed, she had caused a crash at a shopping centre by reversing when it was unsafe to do so.
Ulrika Jonsson could be set for a dramatic return to breakfast television.
The former TV-am weather girl has been in secret talks with GMTV about becoming their new sofa queen when Fiona Phillips leaves.
Bosses are snubbing bookies' favourite Kate Garraway and want to take Fiona's Christmas exit as an opportunity to revitalise the station.
Kate, 41, may well be dumped altogether when her contract runs out.
An insider said: "Fiona's departure is a blow, but this gives us a chance to give the whole show a spring clean. Ulrika is perfect - beautiful and intelligent, with an ability to laugh at herself."
Swedish-born Ulrika, now 41, joined TV-am as a secretary in 1989 and was instantly promoted to become the station's weather girl.
The mum-of-four later presented Gladiators and was a regular on Shooting Stars.
Our source added: "Ulrika is an experienced presenter and we are now in serious discussions."
Insiders say producers have a list of alternatives if Ulrika does not get the job or decides that the unsocial hours clash with her lifestyle.
The BBC's Kate Silverton, much liked by ITV execs, has been mentioned - and gorgeous Christine Bleakley is also well-respected.
If bosses decide to go for a younger presenter, Myleene Klass, Jenni Falconer and Holly Willoughby have also been touted.
However, one woman who doesn't seem to want the job is GMTV's other bubbly blonde, Penny Smith. The presenter is looking to take a break so she can finish writing a book.
Referring to her novel, which has the working title of What Katie Did Next, Penny said: "I'm trying to take a holiday away from TV so I can finish it. I think John Stapleton and myself are slowly heading together for the retirement home."

A pair of Michael Jackson's underpants are to be sold at auction.
The unwashed Calvin Klein briefs are a size 28 and will go on eBay on 10 September with a reserve of $1 million.
According to the New York Post, the undies were part of the evidence confiscated in 2003 during an unsuccessful child molestation case brought against the popstar.
They are being sold by New Jersey businessman Henry Vacarro, who obtained them in a bankruptcy case.
A handwritten note explaining why Jackson wanted an annulment from Lisa Marie Presley and a used, half-ounce tube of skin-bleaching cream are also up for grabs.
$1 million reserve for his underpants - they must be joking :eek: Wonder whether anybody is mad enough to put a bid in for them
