Amanda Holden shocked the celeb world this week by admitting she found Katie Price’s cage fighting boyfriend Alex Reid \"charming\" when she met him at Simon Cowell\'s 50th birthday party recently. \"Jordan was the first person who came over to me,” Amanda told the Daily Mirror. “I\'m a huge Peter Andre fan, but I found Alex Reid much more charming and affable than I thought I was going to.\" And as if to prove how affable he can be, Alex helped his girlfriend flog some more copies of her new book on Wednesday by attending Katie’s book signing at Selfridges in full drag.

How do you reward the very people who have made you rich and famous? Well, according to E! Online sources, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and the cast of the third Twilight film do it by labelling fans of the movies \"vultures\". The gang are currently filming the third instalment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, in Canada and insiders say they have been besieged by fans. \"They call them vultures. It\'s not just the media invading privacy, it\'s the whole world,\" a source claimed, adding, \"The cast hates, hates, hates them. The vultures actually stalk the cast, it\'s become unmanageable. These kids are just trying to film a damn movie – wish the world could let them.\"

Lindsay Lohan\'s war of words with dad

Troubled star Lindsay Lohan and her father Michael indulged in some public mud-slinging this week after he claimed she was addicted to prescription drugs. \"You know why Lindsay\'s not acting in feature films right now? Because she can\'t,” Michael claimed. “When you hug her she\'s, like, vacant inside. Prescription drugs can destroy and kill a person and are sometimes harder to stop than illegal drugs.\" Lindsay fired back, through the press of course. \"I\'m so hurt that someone who calls himself my father needs to use the press to communicate with me,\" Lindsay, with no sense of irony, told Us Weekly. \"I have not spoken to my father, nor have I responded to his threatening and erratic messages over the last several months. He should instead try to be a real father.\"

Recently divorced Madonna and Guy Ritchie regret splitting up and are thinking of getting back together, a source sensationally told the People this week. \"The pair of them have huge egos so, rather than speaking directly to one another, they are using friends to relay information,\" the source claims. \"The truth is both Guy and Madonna are becoming more and more open in their admissions that in many ways they regret getting divorced. It\'s almost as though they have forgotten about all the rows they had as their marriage headed for the rocks.\" Earlier this month, Guy Ritchie admitted he still had feelings for his ex. \"I still love her,\" Guy told Esquire magazine. \"But she\'s retarded, too.” Word of advice Guy, accusing Madonna of being mentally underdeveloped is probably not the best way to win her back.

Cheryl Cole: solo star

Cheryl Cole,celebrity gossip,celebrity news,celebrity pictures,The X Factor,Alexandra Burke cheryl cole Forget the X Factor, Girls Aloud and her famous husband, Cheryl Cole proved she is a star in her own right this week. Fight For This Love, her debut solo single, is set to be the No 1 selling record on Sunday, the Official Charts Company announced this week. Midweek sales figures show that 134,000 copies of the song were bought on Monday alone. Insiders are now tipping it to become the fastest selling single of the year. Former X Factor winner Alexandra Burke currently holds the record after her single Bad Boys sold 187,100 copies last week. \"This will be the second successive week of massive single sales – led by Cheryl. Her first day sales are just amazing and put her in pole position,\" Martin Talbot from the Official Charts Company said. Girls A-who?

Simon Cowell’s cheek and a faulty dress drew fury from Whitney Houston this week after her X Factor performance. Daily Mirror insiders say Whitney was livid after her dress broke during her performance of new single, Million Dollar Bill and furious that  Cowell chose one of her new songs, I Didn\'t Know My Own Strength, for Danyl Johnson to sing before she\'d had a chance to perform it live herself. \"She had steam coming out of her ears. One of her massive entourage covered her up in these enormous towels and took her away. It was odd, as though she couldn\'t bear to be seen in the dress any more,\" a source claimed before discussing her conversation with Cowell. \"You\'d never guess that anyone could leave Simon speechless, he usually has contestants quivering in their boots. But he got a taste of his own medicine with Whitney.\"

Record complaints over Gately article

celebrity gossip,celebrity news,celebrity pictures,Boyzone,Stephen Gately record complaints over gately article The Daily Mail learnt this week they will have to respond to complaints about a column it ran on the death of Boyzone singer Stephen Gately. Last week, the paper ran an article by Jan Moir that said Gately\'s death struck a blow to the \"happy-ever-after myth of civil partnerships\". Following its publication there was an outcry on Twitter with celebrity tweeters Stephen Fry, Peter Serafinowicz, Derren Brown and Charlie Brooker all urging their followers to complain. The Press Complaints Commission said they have received more than 25,000 complaints about the column, the most they had ever made about a single newspaper article. \"Whatever the cause of death is, it is not, by any yardstick, a natural one. Let us be absolutely clear about this,\" Moir wrote. \"For once again, under the carapace of glittering, hedonistic celebrity, the ooze of a very different and more dangerous lifestyle has seeped out for all to see.\" Moir has denied her article had any homophobic undertones.

Victoria Beckham to grace Gossip Girl

Victoria Beckham,celebrity gossip,celebrity news,celebrity pictures,gossip girl,Blake Lively victoria beckham Self-confessed Gossip Girl fanatic Victoria Beckham has agreed to a cameo in the hit TV show, the Mirror reported this week. Insiders say it was Gossip Girl stars Leighton Meester and Blake Lively\'s love of Victoria\'s clothing line that paved the way for the cameo. \"Blake and co-star Leighton Meester are fans of Victoria\'s designs, and have both worn her dresses,\" a source claimed. \"Blake attended the unveiling of Victoria\'s new collection in New York last month, alongside the series stylist Eric Damen. The trio started chatting and Victoria revealed she was a huge fan of the show. From here, Blake pleaded with her to guest star in an episode and ran the idea past producers. Victoria isn\'t an actress and wanted her role to be very tongue-in-cheek. And an idea for her to play Ed Westwick\'s long-lost mother was quickly vetoed. Victoria joked that she\'d rather play his ex-love interest!\"

Suga not so sweet for Amelle

Amelle announced on Friday that she was taking a break from the band with sources claiming she feels fans have turned against her since Keisha Buchanan left the group. \"She has been suffering from depression for months but recent events led to her breakdown. It was very scary,\" a family member claimed. \"Amelle hadn\'t been eating or sleeping and was very weak. She refused to leave the house for weeks as she thinks the world is against her. Much of it was in her head but she worried herself into a breakdown. Her bosses have given her some time off, but she knows there is massive pressure to recover quickly to promote the new single. She is still very much on the brink.\"

Kandy Rain\'s parting shot to Danyl

celebrity gossip,celebrity news,celebrity pictures,The X Factor,Kandy Rain,Danyl Johnson danyl kohnson Girl Group Kandy Rain showed there was no bitterness at all about their X Factor departure by laying into show favourite Danyl Jones. \"He is the most fake person in the entire world,\" Azi Jegbefume told the News Of The World. \"He\'s really two-faced. He can turn on tears in a flash. He thinks to himself, \'How will this look if I cry on camera? Will it make me look good?\' That\'s how he works. He\'s so arrogant. He\'s walking around the house like he\'s a champion as if he\'s won the show already.\" Not to be outdone, fellow band member Khatereh Dovani also accused Johnson of manipulating younger contestants. \"He was saying he wanted to do rude things to Azi,\" she explained. \"But he says he likes guys. The younger ones get influenced by him and change the way they act. But one minute he\'s straight, the next he\'s gay, the next he\'s bi. Make up your mind!\" You stay classy, Kandy Rain.
