Duffy: "Me and Mr Jones"

Posted by Jane Murphy

Duffy has laughed off claims that she's the love child of fellow Welsh warbler Tom Jones.

Apparently, US fans are convinced the two must be related because... erm... they're both from Wales and they both have powerful voices. How ridiculous! Still, it's not unusual...

"I'm dealing with this on a daily basis," the singer told a US radio show. "It's kind of bizarre. You've just got to let go and almost laugh at it, because you can't control what people say or assume."

Incidentally, Duffy's real dad John runs a pub in her home town of Nefyn in Gwynedd, north Wales. "He's such a sweet guy," says Duffy. "I don't know if he's read the accusations about potential fatherhood."

Hmmm... I wonder what her mum, Shirley Bassey, has to say about it. (Only kidding, Duffy!)

Jordan wins libel battle

Posted by Jane Murphy

Congratulations to Jordan and Peter Andre, who yesterday accepted "substantial damages" over a News of the World article portraying them as bad parents.

The Sunday tabloid has now retracted all comments made in the story, which was published in February.

Following the hearing, Jordan read out a prepared statement on the steps of the High Court. "Pete and I love our kids and would do anything for them," she told the assembled throng. "We came here today to see that justice was done and that our names were cleared."

Watch Jordan reading her full statement here - and look out for the slightly inappropriate "sexy shimmy" she gives at the end...

Cheryl's our top bod!

Posted by Jane Murphy

Cheryl Cole may have been the subject of many a recent tabloid tale about her "worryingly skinny" frame - but she's still the owner of the UK's "ultimate fantasy body", according to a new poll.

The Girls Aloud star knocked fellow X Factor judge Dannii Minogue into joint second place in the survey of 2,000 men and women, conducted last month by YouGov.

Dannii was joined in the runner-up slot by lip-licking TV chef Nigella Lawson, while Mel B, Madonna and Lily Allen occupied the next three places on the list. Hmmm... There's quite a mixture of body shapes and sizes there, don't you think?

So does Cheryl deserve this glowing accolade - or should somebody else have topped the list? Tell us what you think.

Jade's back!

Posted by Jane Murphy

Here's Jade Goody getting her not-insubstantial lips round an ice cream at last night's HumanHi party in London. We haven't seen Jade out partying for... oooh... weeks now, so it's nice to see her getting back into the swing of things. Isn't it? No?

Still, Ms Goody wasn't the only former Big Brother "star" to show up to the glitzy knees-up. One of last year's housemates, Gerry Stergiopoulos, was there - posing with "Botox Barbie" Sarah Burge (she's a bit fan of cosmetic surgery, apparently) and a huge syringe.

And here's another BB graduate, Amy Alexandra. She was the topless model who got off with Liam, I think. Or was that Carol?

Oh dear - there are so many jaded wannabes wandering round London's party circuit at the moment, it's hard to keep up. In fact, it's estimated that by 2012, 97% of people in the West End on any given night will be ex-reality TV stars...

Lily and Li-Lo to duet?

Posted by Jane Murphy

Remember how Lily Allen and Lindsay Lohan hooked up for dinner in Los Angeles last month?

Well, now it turns out they could have been discussing business - because rumour has it Lindsay's already recorded a vocal for a track on Lily's long-awaited second album. Apparently, it's an electro-pop number called 'Wherever You Go'. Hmmm...

Could this be the start of something big - or should Lily steer clear of the LA party set and enlist the help of "proper" musicians instead? Any thoughts?

Becks in "fish breath" slur

Posted by Jane Murphy

Ah, so it turns out David Beckham isn't completely perfect after all - if US gossips are to be believed, that is.

The problem? According to Star magazine, Becks suffers from stinky breath - thanks to the fish oil tablets he takes every day. "He's the spokesperson for the pills - he even appears on the box - so he has to take them despite the consequences," says a fishy insider.

Apparently, wife Victoria is none too happy about the whiff - and grimaces every time Becks leans in for a kiss. Mind you, she grimaces most of the time anyway, doesn't she?

Carrie on Heather!

Posted by Jane Murphy

Look out, Mr Big! Heather Mills has reportedly just bought an apartment on the same Manhattan street where Carrie Bradshaw lived in Sex and the City.

Coincidence? Not according to a nameless friend, who tells news agency Wenn: "Heather is a huge fan of the show. Now she's found herself single and in her 30s, she relates to the characters more than ever.

"She sees Carrie as a role model - and the chance to own a little piece of Sex and the City and live like Carrie was too good an opportunity to pass up."

OK, so Heather's "friend" may be employing a little artistic licence there - but all the same... Does Ms Mills really want to live like Carrie?

I can understand why she may want to spend most of her waking hours eating cupcakes and buying shoes - but surely she's had enough of looking for Mr Big? After all, didn't she already find him? And look what happened there!

Happy birthday, Cheryl?

Posted by Jane Murphy

Sometimes, you've just got to forgive, forget and move on, right? And it looks like Cheryl Cole may have done just that.

Despite those pesky rumours that continue to dog their marriage, Cheryl and husband Ashley put on a pretty good show of togetherness when he joined her in Manchester to celebrate her 25th birthday yesterday.

OK, so they still weren't wearing their wedding rings, but they were holding hands when they emerged from Wings restaurant late last night, having enjoyed a slap-up meal with friends and family.

So is their relationship back on track after Ashley's alleged extra-marital dalliance - or should they just call it a day? What do you reckon?

Mamma Mia!

Posted by Jane Murphy

Ah, this makes a refreshing change. Last night's star-studded London premiere of Mamma Mia! was attended by an impressive line-up of A-list celebrities - with no Big Brother housemates, glamour models or former soap favourites in sight.

Meryl Streep worked the crowds in a stunning red satin dress - along with co-stars Julie Walters and Pierce Brosnan, plus the film's producer Tom Hanks.

However, my favourite outfit of the night was worn by Italian film producer Livia Giuggioli...

Well, if you were married to Colin Firth, you'd be wearing a big smile all the time, too, wouldn't you?

Who's been kissing Angelina?

Posted by Jane Murphy

It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it... James McAvoy has been waxing lyrical about what it was like to kiss co-star Angelina Jolie in new thriller Wanted.

"It must have been very pleasant for her," he laughs. "We used a method called CGI to enhance her lips. No, she's got massive lips. And she's a massive superstar. And she's very cool." OK, OK - enough with the gushing!

Hmmm... which celebrity would you like to kiss? Tell us here.

Becks blogs!

Posted by Jane Murphy

Cast your minds back to this time last week and you may recall the teeny-tiny amount of fuss caused by David Beckham's new Armani campaign.

Hey, it was just a bloke hanging around in his pants - so why all the excitement? Well, that's what Becks himself thinks anyway...

"To be honest, I was amazed by the huge billboard poster outside Macy's department store, but even more amazed by the amount of people who turned up to see it," he writes on his blog. "I'm always surprised by the amount of attention certain things create, but the attention this campaign has created is pretty incredible."

Hmmm... Is Becks really that shocked by the ads' high profile - or is this just his attempt at modesty? Tell us what you think.

Who's off to Elton's ball?

Posted by Jane Murphy

Here's Elizabeth Hurley and husband Arun Nayar nipping out to grab a quick pint and a takeaway before last night's EastEnders.

Oh no, I tell a lie. The pair were en route to the White Tie & Tiara Ball in Windsor - Elton John's annual charity knees-up for a few hundred of his closest friends. And as you can see, good old Liz and Arun followed the dress code to the letter.

So far, no pics have emerged from inside the ball (although I'm sure Liz took a few candid shots on her mobile to post on Facebook later today). However, other excited celebrities spotted going into the venue included Gordon Ramsay, Davina McCall, Louis Walsh, David Coulthard, Graham Norton and Sir Michael Caine.

Let's hope they all... er... had a ball!

Kate left holding the baby

Posted by Jane Murphy

So what's going on here then? Kate Moss and her fiancé Jamie Hince had only popped out for a pint of milk and a white sliced loaf the other day, when they were approached by an excitable couple with a baby.

Eager-to-please Kate and Jamie were only too happy to pose with the cute-looking baby - and embarrassed-looking dad - while the mum took a snap of them outside the shop.

And - surprise, surprise - the pics of the tabloid-friendly supermodel cuddling up to the baby have sparked rumours she wants another child of her own. "Kate couldn't stop smiling and kept telling Jamie how cute the baby was," one eyewitness told the press. "It looked as if she didn't want to give it back."

Hmmm... I think the rumour-mongers could be getting a bit ahead of themselves here, don't you?

GMTV's big night out

Posted by Jane Murphy

They may have to get up at 3am for work each day - but the GMTV team still turned out to support Penny Smith at the launch party of her first novel, Coming Up Next, in London last night. (You know Penny? She's the sarky old bird who usually reads the news.)

Kate Garraway and Fiona Phillips both arrived dolled up to the nines - but poor, rushed-off-her-feet weather presenter Andrea McLean had to wait until she was inside the party before changing out of her jeans into a smart blue dress...

Other noteworthy party-goers included former Have I Got New For You? adversaries Ian Hislop and Angus Deayton - although not together, I hasten to add. Now, there's two people I wouldn't expect to see in the same place at the same time...

Charlotte wants six babies

Posted by Jane Murphy

Everyone's favourite Welsh warbler Charlotte Church (sorry, Shirley) says she wants around six babies by the time she's 32.

And seeing as the 22-year-old is currently expecting her second child with fiancé Gavin Henson, it looks like she's well on track. "I want between four and six, and Gavin wants eight," she tells Jonathan Ross in an interview to be televised on Friday.

Hang on! If Charl wants a maximum of six babies and Gavin wants eight, where's he going to get the extra two from?

Too much information!

Posted by Jane Murphy

Eek! What is it with veteran TV presenters and their sudden need to share unnecessary racy information about their pasts?

On Sunday, former goody-goody Blue Peter favourite Valerie Singleton 'fessed up to having bonked fellow presenter Peter Purves in the late '60s. (If you've no idea who I'm talking about here, ask your mum. She'll be shocked, I promise.)

And just as I was starting to banish that unsettling image from my mind, along came never knowingly under-orange Judith Chalmers to explain why she always went commando to present holiday programme Wish You Were Here.

"I was told by the wardrobe mistress that I shouldn't have a VPL - visible panty line," she told ITV1's Loose Women. "So I'm sorry to reveal that after 30 years of Wish You Were Here, I was pantless all the time." Great. Thanks for that, Jude.

Who's next with a racy confession d'you suppose?

Is Alex the new Becks?

Posted by Jane Murphy

Well, what d'you know? It turns out The Apprentice finalist Alex Wotherspoon may be just a pretty face after all.

Having so far failed in his bid to become the new Sir Alan Sugar (mind you, he is only 24), he's announced ambitions to become the new David Beckham instead.

And no, that doesn't mean he wants to lead the midfield in the England line-up. In fact, he's just signed up with a top modelling agency and is hoping to follow Mr B's lead by posing in his pants. Or possibly out of his pants.

"I'd get my pants off, but only if the money was right," he tells this week's Heat magazine. "I'd probably do topless for £10,000... if it's good enough for David Beckham, eh?" Enough already!

Well, whatever happens, I'm sure he'll give it 110%. And in the meantime, do feast your eyes on these delightful pics of Alex, courtesy of Heat. Should Becks be worried? Tell us what you think.

Vivienne slams Sex and the City

Posted by Jane Murphy

Puh - talk about gratitude! Despite being name-checked in gushing terms throughout the film and designing Carrie Bradshaw's wedding dress, veteran designer Vivienne Westwood has slammed the Sex and the City movie.

"I thought Sex and the City was supposed to be about cutting-edge fashion and there was nothing remotely memorable or interesting about what I saw," she sniffs. "I went to the premiere and left after 10 minutes."

Er... considering the film's about 107 hours long (well, that's what it seemed like when I went to see it), maybe great-aunt Viv should have stuck around a little while longer before passing judgement...

Posh's fancy dress show

Posted by Jane Murphy

Love Victoria Beckham's dress sense? Come on - of course you do. Well, pretty soon, you too could look like this - because Mrs B's set to launch a fancy frock collection of her own.

"It will be something completely different from what I've ever done," she tells Women's Wear Daily. "I'm just putting it together at the moment, but they will be very upscale dresses and are likely to start at around $1,200 (£611) retail. I'm going to be using very expensive fabrics and finishes, lots of embroideries."

Hang on - £611? Maybe I'll stick to wearing Kate Moss at Topshop for a little while longer... How much would you be prepared to pay for a Posh frock?

Back from the dead?

Posted by Jane Murphy

Elvis Presley, Princess Diana and Marilyn Monroe are the twinkling trio of stars British people would most like to bring back to life, according to a new survey.

And 60% of respondents thought that if Elvis was alive today, he'd be a judge on American Idol.

Other names in the Top 10, compiled on behalf of Warner Home Video, were Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Bobby Moore, William Shakespeare, Henry VIII, Kurt Cobain, Freddie Mercury and Albert Einstein.

But - hang on! What about John Lennon? Surely he'd be a more popular choice than Henry VIII, for heaven's sake! And what about Charles Dickens, Queen Victoria and Shep the Blue Peter dog? It's a travesty!

So which celebrity would you most like to see back from the dead? Tell us here.

Kate steals the show

Posted by Jane Murphy

Congratulations to rock royalty Leah Wood, who tied the knot with TV producer Jack McDonald at London's Southwark Cathedral on Saturday. And doesn't she look gorgeous?

But funnily enough, the crowds of paparazzi outside the star-studded service weren't just there to catch a glimpse of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood's daughter in her wedding gown. Family friend Kate Moss temporarily stole the show by arriving fashionably late and looking stunning in a shimmering grey gown and sparkling blue shawl.

Meanwhile, Ronnie's bandmate Keith Richards managed to steer attention away from both Leah and Kate by sporting a slightly odd green bandana.

Hmmm - maybe his head still hurts from the time he fell out of that palm tree...

Keira laid bare

Posted by Jane Murphy

Surprise, surprise! Keira Knightley looked absolutely stunning at last night’s London premiere of her new movie The Edge of Love - giving hardened tabloid columnists and celebrity-watchers plenty to wax lyrical about today.

The lovely people at the Daily Mail, for example, have taken great pleasure in drawing attention to Keira’s so-called “razor-sharp collarbones”. Zzzzz…

Keira, meanwhile, has taken great pleasure in drawing attention to her cleavage. “I always bare my breasts,” she told a press conference, when asked how she felt about doing nude scenes. “It’s not like it’s only in this film.”

Anyway, does anyone think the press are too critical of female celebrities’ bodies? And has Keira really got comment-worthy collarbones or should the press just concentrate on talking about her acting ability instead? Tell us what you think.

Poor Rhys Ifans. All he wanted was a quiet evening at Ronnie Scott’s club in London last night - but those pesky paparazzi were trailing his every move.

According to some eyewitnesses, Rhys swore and threw beer at the snappers - and at one point, the boys in blue were called to quieten things down, although things were sorted out fairly quickly. Hmmm… any idea what the policeman might have been saying to Rhys in our picture?

Meanwhile, across town… Rhys’s recent ex-girlfriend Sienna Miller was happy to pose for photographers and chat to the crowd at the London premiere of The Edge of Love.

Fearne says she looks like an egg

Posted by Stewart Turner

Fearne Cotton is probably the subject of many a sweat-drenched night’s dreaming among the nation’s pizza-faced adolescents – but it seems she’s not entirely happy with the way she looks.

Fearne is one of a number of celebs who’ve been photographed without make-up for a special feature in this week’s Heat magazine. Alongside her are yummy mummy Myleene Klass, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Davina McCall and er, Claudia Winkleman.

Somewhat bizarrely, Fearne reckons she looks like an egg without her slap on. “I think I look younger and quite innocent without make-up" she said, before adding: "But I have weird pancake ears and a major issue with my forehead. I look like an egg!"

Fearne also owned up to being airbrushed in magazines once or twice. “On one shoot they airbrushed out all my tattoos which I was annoyed about,” moaned Fearne – which makes us wonder what Ms Cotton’s tattoos actually are. Swastika on the forehead, perhaps? The mind boggles.

So – do you think the voice of the hit parade looks like she’s been squeezed out of a chicken’s nethers? Let us know!

Now, here’s a coincidence. Remember how I asked you yesterday whether David Beckham’s entire life was just one huge Armani ad?

Well, Emporio Armani has just unveiled a new set of ads, featuring Mr B posing in a selection of tight-fitting pants. The eye-popping adverts are set to go up on billboards across the world - which some people may find mildly distracting. Let’s hope they don’t cause any accidents…

Sienna back with Rhys

Posted by Jane Murphy

Er… sorry about the misleading headline -  but it made you look, didn’t it? The “Rhys” in question that Sienna Miller’s been photographed with here is actually Matthew Rhys, her co-star in new movie The Edge of Love.

Sienna and Matty (as I’ve just decided to call him, to avoid further confusion) were in Edinburgh for the film’s premiere yesterday. As you’ll recall, the pair reportedly had a fling during filming - and some loose-tongued gossips have suggested they’ve rekindled their passion since Sienna broke up with Rhys Ifans three weeks ago.

Naturally, today’s tabloids are tripping over themselves to analyse the body language between the couple in this picture. According to The Sun, this is the photograph Mr Ifans has dreaded seeing - and “it doesn’t take an expert to spot the sparks flying”.

Hmmm… can you see any “sparks” - or does this just look very much like a snap of a couple of former colleagues standing next to one another and posing nicely for the cameras?

This year’s winners? It’s our very own Leona Lewis and Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis. Others on the list include Heroes stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia, plus past winner Russell Brand.

We haven’t seen Robbie Williams out partying much recently. The reason? As you’ll doubtless recall, rumour has it he’s been spending much of his time camping out in the wilderness, hoping to spot aliens.

But last night saw the elusive Mr W bowl up to Hollywood’s exclusive Villa nightclub. The erstwhile singer sported a black top with a bizarre cut-out area, which exposed his hairy tattooed chest. Nice! Also worthy of note: Robbie’s longish hair and somewhat bleary-eyed expression.

Hmmm… it’s not too late to come home and re-join Take That, you know, Rob…

Pete’s waffling again

Posted by Jane Murphy

Isn’t YouTube a wonderful thing, eh? Without it, we wouldn’t be able to get such regular amazing insights into the day-to-day life of Pete Doherty, for example.

In the past 24 hours, Pete’s posted not one but two (count ‘em!) new videos for our entertainment. In the first one, he waffles - a little incoherently at times, it has to be said - about taking us all to a gig. And he also mutters something about having thrown his laptop out the window:

And in this one, Pete’s naked apart from a Union Jack flag, while he indulges in a little “comedy” with a friend posing as his stylist:

Once again, it’s time to guess who’s wearing some eye-popping footwear. Want some clues? She’s posh, not Posh. She’s a reality TV regular. Oh, and she’s “just good friends” with former Blue singer Duncan James.

Who’s got the X factor?

Posted by Jane Murphy

Our friends in the London paparazzi went home with smiles on their faces last night, thanks to a pretty impressive turn-out at swanky eaterie Cipriani.

Notable diners included Ms Anger Management herself, Naomi Campbell, sporting a white ruffled dress and oh-so-now gladiator sandals…

Elizabeth Hurley put in an appearance wearing an asymmetric little black dress…

By the way, Liz’s husband Arun Nayar was there, too - but his
