Katie Price and Peter Andre saga continues

Peter Andre,celebrity gossip,celebrity,katie price katie price and peter andre

I’m really looking forward to a week where I don’t have to write about Katie Price. Do I ever think that week will come? I’m not so sure. This week Katie was accused of threatening to run over a fan when she got out of her car to ask for an autograph. She also reportedly told friends that Peter Andre is holding up their divorce to help relaunch his career and that her life with him was a lie.  “I’ve told my lawyers that. I want to bring him down. I’ve lived a lie with him for so long,” Katie is said to have told a friend.

Robert Pattinson keeps on moaning

Sexiest Man Alive Robert Pattinson never seems to stop moaning about his fame and fortune courtesy of Twilight… and Twitter. “I can’t remember what my normal life is like,” Pattinson told a Scottish newspaper. “Because of internet stuff and Twitter, there will be a crowd if you are in a place for more than half an hour. I’ve learned never to stay in the same place for more than 20 minutes. The biggest challenge is coping with the crowds.” We get that R-Patz is having a tough time, but it does seem like whenever he opens his mouth it’s to moan about how awful his life is after his success, or if he isn’t moaning (10 per cent of the time) he’ll be telling us that he’s single. This week he told the Mirror, “You always think you’re going to get more girls after you’ve made a movie and it never happens. You sit there and you’re like ‘I’m a big movie star and I want to go out with some models’ but I don’t know why that doesn’t happen.” We’re pretty sure there’s a line of girls waiting to date Rob, maybe he’s just picky? Or maybe it has something more to do with his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart?

Get your sick bucket ready. Blake Fielder-Civil has just given us an almighty dose of TMI (Too Much Information). Amy Winehouse’s ex-husband declared to the Sun that he is still in love with her and wants to marry her. “I love her as much as ever. I know she still loves me, even though we’re getting divorced. Maybe this time we can do everything properly and not mess it up,” Blake explained. Fielder-Civil then went on to explain how their relationship was built on sex. “My relationship with Amy was beautiful and intense – and very physical. It was built on sex from day one and was always mind-blowing. Amy was very loving and passionate and the best I’ve ever had.” Urrrgggh, we don’t want to know thanks, Blake!

George Michael \"sober\" in latest crash

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news,George Michael george michael There was a sense of déjà vu last week when George Michael crashed his car into a lorry while our driving in Berkshire. George – who has just completed a two-year ban after being found slumped at the wheel of his car in October 2006 and being declared unfit to drive – was held by police after the incident last Friday. He released an official statement claiming that he wasn’t drinking before the incident. “Neither of us were charged because we were both stone cold sober,” George explained. “We both think the other is to blame so this is just an insurance fight.”

Iron Man cast round on Gwyneth Paltrow

Scarlett Johansson,Gwyneth Paltrow,celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news,iron man,robert downey jr gwyneth paltrow It seems that Gwyneth Paltrow is getting a bit of a reputation for being an ice queen on the set of her latest film Iron Man 2. Crew members described Gwyn’s attitude on set as snobby and unfriendly, Fox News reports. The actress has just completed work as Pepper Potts, assistant to Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man. “Gwyneth is extremely cool at work. She’s just a step above professional, too snobby,” said one insider. “Gwyneth is not friendly to anyone, and tends to make people feel awkward and uncomfortable. She wasn’t outright rude to Scarlett (co-star Scarlett Johansson), she just didn’t ever speak to her.”

Michael Jackson will finally be buried

Michael Jackson,celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news michael jackson It seems like an age since the news of Michael Jackson’s untimely death spread. The superstar will finally be buried in Los Angeles’ Forest Lawn Cemetery at 10am on 29 August – what would have been Michael’s 51st birthday, the singer’s father Joe Jackson has confirmed. Joe apparently revealed the details during a conversation in Las Vegas with New York Daily News’ Steve Freiss. It was reported last week that Jackson had been buried in an unmarked plot at the ceremony shortly after his memorial service. However; over the weekend TMZ claimed the singer was actually in a deep freeze awaiting for burial. RIP Michael Jackson.

Tyra Banks reveals her natural self

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news,tyra banks tyra banks to reveal her natural self It’s quite refreshing when a celebrity or model admits that they use tricks to enhance their natural beauty. So it was nice to hear that Tyra Banks will reveal her “real hair” on her chat show. Access Hollywood reports that the supermodel explained that she would appear without her extensions for the first time on TV to promote the importance of natural beauty. “This season on the Tyra show we’re taking it to the next level and getting more real than ever before by encouraging women everywhere to own and rock what they’ve got and be proud,” Tyra explained in a statement. “For the season five premiere, I will be doing just that – no fake hair, I’m rocking my real hair. We welcome everyone to go natural with me.”

Louis Walsh defends the X Factor Asperger\'s audition

louis walsh,celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news,The X Factor louis walsh defends aspergers audition The next series of the X Factor starts on Saturday and we’re so excited. We had a sneak preview of the first episode and you’re going to love it. Louis Walsh defended X Factor’s decision to let a man with Asperger’s Syndrome audition for the show earlier this week. Twenty-one-year-old Scott James explained to the judges how his condition, a form of autism that causes sufferers to struggle with social relationships and communication, had stopped him leaving the house for seven years before impressing them with a song. “Is he under too much pressure? I think it has to be his choice. Nobody forces anybody to go to an audition. I think it’s a real-life story.” Louis told the Radio Times, but added, “People don’t realise the pressure that these acts are under, especially when they’re competing with everybody else backstage.”

Friends fear for Kerry Katona

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news,kerry katona kerry katona Friends of Kerry Katona have said that they are worried for her future as she has been dropped as the face of supermarket chain Iceland. This week, it was announced that Kerry had lost her deal following the release of a video by the News Of The World, which appears to show her snorting cocaine at home. “For most of [the past four years], she has been a successful part of our advertising campaigns, but has also been through some tough times in her personal life,” Iceland said in a statement. “We have always stood by her, as an example of a normal person and mum who has experienced some of the modern day culture of fame, and how difficult it can be to deal with. However, following the more recent allegations we feel it is impossible for Kerry to continue to work with us as one of the faces of Iceland advertising.” Friends have now told the Mirror that they’re worried Kerry is facing financial ruin. “This was really her only big pay packet. She is already bankrupt and this is the worst thing that could have happened to her,” an insider said. “You have to ask how Kerry will ever get a big deal like this again.”  The bad news continues for Kerry as sources told the London Lite that her ex-husband Brian McFadden, is to launch a legal bid to win custody of his two daughters, Molly, 7 and Lilly-Sue, 6, from Katona’s care. “He is talking to his fiancée Delta Goodrem and is also consulting his lawyers to see what arrangements the can come to about his kids,” the source claims, “He no longer wants them to stay with Kerry. He no longer feels that they are safe with her.” Ouch.

Madonna: \"Jesus is love of my life\"

Madonna,celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news,jesus luz madonna jesus is love of my life Madonna has called her Brazilian boyfriend Jesus Luz the ‘love of her life’. “He’s the love of my life,” Madonna is said to have told friends. “He has to be so strong around me. I can’t thank him enough.” The couple were last seen together at Madonna’s 51st birthday before heading off on a luxury yacht with her four children, Lourdes, Rocco and David Bandana and, new addition, Mercy James.
