A live episode? Oh shut-uuuppp!!

So I’m hearing reports that as well as a Christmas special, the producers of TOWIE want to do a live episode. A live episode? Are they crazy? 

Now excuse me if I’m wrong, but the cast of TOWIE are hardly Bafta winning actors are they? Oh wait! Ok, so they maybe Bafta winners, but that aside, they’d probably struggle to land a role in Hollyoaks. But, this obviously doesn’t faze the makers of the hit Essex show or indeed some of the cast members who have recently expressed their views on the upcoming live episode.

Joey Essex tweeted his opinion by saying: “LIVE episode of TOWIE in December!!! #creepySICK” Yes Joey, “creepysick” is probably a phrase most people would use to describe it. 

Mario Falcone tweeted a slightly more coherent response: “We'll be completely out of our comfort zone so it will be really scary but I'll be well excited!” Well yes Mario, it’ll definitely be out of your comfort zone. You’ll probably have to learn your lines properly and deliver a scene without messing it up and will have to try to convince the viewing public that you actually know what you’re doing. So yes, very exciting! 

A sentiment which was echoed by Jess Wright who tweeted: “Shut the front doooor there's going to be a LIVE towie ep in december ahhhhhh who's excited?” I’m excited Jess! Can’t you tell? If you really think about it, it will probably be really hilarious. Watching Joey, Arg and co try to do a full episode without completely live without the use of editing or retakes? Sounds hilarious- what could possibly go wrong?

And look at this way. If a live episode stops them from recording another Christmas single, then I’m all for it! 

And for your viewing pleasure, here's a reminder of that Christmas single. You're Welcome.

 

Jodie marsh and Kirk Norcross dating? WTF!

The happy couple: Kirk and Jodie

Yes, that’s the headline I gave this because quite frankly that’s exactly what I thought! Ex TOWIE star Kirk Norcross and glamour girl come body builder Jodie Marsh has apparently been dating and seem smitten with each other. What on earth possessed these two to get together?? Perhaps they were attracted to each other through their shared love of tattoos? Or their passion for hometown Essex? Maybe they chatted about appearing on Celebrity Big Brother?  Or is it that they bonded by swapping notes about their nose surgery?

Whatever brought them together, it does seem like an odd pairing. Mind you, anyone that Jodie dates does seem like an odd choice. Remember Kenzie from Blazin’ Squad? (I’ll give you a second to recall)

(And now I’ll give you another second to remember their ‘hit’ song... you know what it is... ‘see you at the crossroads crossroads crossroads’...there you go!)

Groping on the first date? How romantic!

Apparently even though the reality ‘stars’ have only been dating for about a week, they’ve been very open about their relationship from the beginning, even live tweeting throughout their first date! How romantic! During the evening in which Kirk splashed out and treated Jodie to a DVD on the sofa, the two kept their followers in the loop by tweeting and posting pictures. 

Jodie tweeted: ‘Right nobody disturb us. Me and @kirk_official are having a spooning session on the sofa with a film. We're too tired to go out.'

Meanwhile Kirk posted a similar message: ‘Having a spooning session with @JodieMarsh watching a film! #MmmmNice did someone say #50ShadesOfKirk ;-).'

Jodie also took the opportunity to reveal that she had seen her new man naked, although she did later insist that they had not slept together as she has been celibate for a year, she tweeted ‘Had the funniest day ever. Seen @kirk_official stark naked today. What a treat that was ‪#hunglikeadonkey x x x’ How sweet.

Looks like Jodie has found the Mr. Grey to her Miss Steele. I give it 3 months.

In other celebrity news:

• There’s another baby boom in celebville. Kourtney Kardashian has given birth to her first daughter Penelope Scotland Disick. Congratulations Kourtney, Scot and little Mason! 
• Adele and Lily Allen have also announced that their preggers. Adele is expecting her first child with boyfriend Simon Konecki (apparently she’s due in 2 months- wtf!) and Lily Allen is expecting her second child with husband Sam Cooper less than a year after having baby Ethel (hopefully she’ll think of a better name this time round!)
• Chantelle Houghton and Alex Reid are still yet to name their daughter who was born 3 weeks ago! Why don’t they just name her ‘Roxanne’ and be done with it, you know they want to!
• Nick Grimshaw is set to replace Chris Moyles as host of Radio 1’s breakfast show and I’m not happy! Not because I dislike 'Grimmers', it’s because Chris will now start thinking that he can continue to move into television. Er, no thanks! Haven’t you heard of the phrase ‘face for radio?’
• Kris and Bruce Jenner’s marriage appears to be on the rocks as it has emerged that Kris has been in contact with the man who helped end her first marriage. Kris had an affair with Todd Waterman over 20 years ago whilst she was still married to Robert Kardashian (the older, now deceased one not her son!), and the pair have recently been in touch via flirty emails and texts. But now Bruce has found out and is now furious at his wife, and so he should be! Watch this space! 

And because I'm sooo nice, for those of you who still don't know who Blazin' Squad is (tut tut), here's their biggest hit Crossroads! I know, I know, I'm great...

Hate to say I told you so!

A woman scorned

Ok, so I didn’t tell her, but I knew it would happen! Allegations have emerged that footballer Jermain Defoe has cheated on girlfriend Alexandra Burke. And if these allegations are true, I can’t say I’m  entirely surprised. After all, Jermain Defoe doesn’t exactly have a good track record with commitment does he? The lothario is more famous for showing off his ball skills in the bedroom rather than the pitch and has somehow manage to lure such intellectual beauties such as Charlotte Mears (Google her if you don’t know), Danielle Lloyd and everyone’s favourite home-wrecker; Imogen Thomas. 

To be honest, I was rather surprised when I heard he was going out with Alexandra, after all she does have talent and a proper career as opposed to his previous conquests. I thought perhaps things may be different this time as Alex may have been able to provide Jermaine with some stimulating conversation to keep him engaged for more than five minutes. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be! One flash of skirt and a whiff of cheap perfume and he’s off like a dog chasing a bone! Sorry Alex, it looks like your gonna have to change your taste in men, because this is what happens when you go with a bad boy!

Third time lucky for Katie?

Who’s gonna take Katie up the aisle? Well it seems like Leandro Penna is the man for the job as he’s only gone and proposed to girlfriend Katie Price! The glamour model, who last year claimed she’ll never marry again after the breakdown of her second marriage, has seemingly changed her mind and accepted her Argentinean toy boy’s proposal. This will make Leandro Katie’s third husband as she was formerly wed to ‘singer’ Peter Andre and ‘cagefighter’ Alex Reid. I’m sure Katie’s really excited to get wed again, but surely she can’t top her fairytale, gypsy-like wedding to Pete? Or even be able to emulate the romance of eloping to Las Vegas to marry Alex.

 She should justbe done with it and have a quickie in Gretna Green registry offices followed by a slap-up meal at Toby Carvery. At least their first dance will be great as the couple is set to appear on Argentina’s version of Strictly Come Dancing. Just one thing Katie, you’ve got that small matter of divorcing Alex first!

Also this week:

• Delusion alert! Ever since her suspension from TOWIE last week, Lauren Goodger has been lying low. But behind closed doors it’s emerged that Lauren has been counting column inches as- get this- she believes that she is as famous as Jordan or even Cheryl Cole! Wow, looks like that TOWIE fame has gone to her head. Maybe a break from the show will do her good!
• The claws are out! Apparently Beyoncé does not approve of Kanye West’s relationship with reality star Kim Kardashian. The ‘Love on top’singer is allegedly unimpressed by Kim’s sex-tape past and dalliances with other men. The conservative star, who is married to Jay-Z, has told in no uncertain terms that she doesn’t want Kim hanging around in her exclusive circle! Well, it looks like Kim has got some even better mates as only last week, she was having dinner with the president!
• Hold the front page- Jessica Simpson has finally given birth! After what seems to have been forever, the singer revealed on her website that she has given birth to a girl called Maxwell Drew Johnson. The baby weighed an enormous 9lb, 13oz- no wonder jess looked as big as a house! Nonetheless, congratulations Eric and Jessica!
• Cat fight! Jenny Frost has let slip that any potential Atomic Kitten reunions will take place without Kerry Katona. Jenny, who replaced Kerry in the band in 2001, has said ‘I don't want to be derogatory about Kerry, but there shouldn't be four of us in Atomic Kitten’. This remark is a far cry from what she said about Kerry a few years back, stating that she would rather eat her own kidney with a spoon than work with Kerry. Meow!  

If for some reason you forgot that Kerry Katona was in fact a member of Atomic Kitten, here is a reminder. Please note that she doesn't actually sing, but rather speaks the words. (A bit like Lily Allen.)

Celebs of the week!

Never one for a quiet life, the celebs have been hitting the headlines this week for all sorts of reasons! From break-ups to family feuds, these celebs have certainly been setting our tongues wagging, so here’s my list of the top 5 celebs this week! (In no particular order)

Has Mollie found her prince charming?

1. She already has a royal name, but now Mollie King could have a royal title as it has been revealed that none other than Prince Harry is smitten with her! Apparently the pair, who've been friends for 2 years, have been spotted flirting and partying in nightclubs in recent weeks. Jealous? Me? Never! Now where’s my Mollie voodoo doll…
2. If recent rumours are to believed, The Wanted’s Max George has a heart vacancy (geddit?) as his relationship with Corrie’s Michelle Keegan has hit an all time low (OK, I’ll stop now). But the singer cleared up the rumours on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show telling listeners that the couple are no longer engaged but are still together. That’s a relief, because they make an awfully gorgeous couple!
3. Hot on the tails of her former TOWIE co-stars, Maria Fowler has been in the centre of a bidding war between I’m a Celebrity and Celebrity Big Brother after signaling her intentions to appear on either of the shows. Its reported that offers of up to £250.000 has been put on the table. However, the difference is we were actually looking forward to seeing Amy, Kirk and Mark on their prospective shows. You, we couldn’t care less about and you’d probably be more suited to appear on something like Celebrity Shark Bait.
4. Not content with setting British teenagers hearts a flutter and recently causing Beatle-like hysteria in America, One Direction have now turned their sights on Australia. The former X Factor contestants have been getting up to all sorts including sunning themselves on a yacht and showing off their sophisticated pallets by sampling some Aussie foods. However, someone should have warned poor Niall that vegemite was disgusting after he was forced to spit out his vegemite-covered toast live on TV!
5. It seems like splitsville is on the verge of becoming over-populated, for not long after Ronan Keating announced the end of his marriage, Dannii Minogue has now confirmed that her relationship with model Kris Smith is now over. The ex couple, who have a son Ethan together, both released statements saying they have split. Apparently, dannii had a heart-to-heart with older sister Kylie, before making the difficult decision to part with Kris.
   
   

Stay tuned for more celebrity goss, coming soon! In the meantime, here’s One Direction in all their youthful glory: 

Horror at BBM party!

Jessie J performed last night

Last night’s Blackberry party should have been an amazing night with stars, journo's and competition winners rubbing shoulders. With the talented Jessie J and Wretch 32 performing, it should have been a night to remember but for some, it was a night they’d rather forget. As guests partied on the dance floor, one man was stabbed leaving him lying on the floor in a pool of blood.

Stars such as Fazer from N Dubz, Nicola McLean, Lizzie Cundy and various cast members from TOWIE and Made in Chelsea gathered at the Pulse nightclub aka Bankside Vaults off Southwark Street, London for the event celebrating Blackberry Messenger. But what started off as an amazing night, ended in horror as tweets from revelers last night emerged that guests were being held following an ‘incident.’ It was soon revealed that a man was stabbed with a broken bottle following an altercation on the dance floor, shortly after Jessie J had finished her set. Guests were left stranded for hours as police swooped in and held everyone at the venue until they had everyone’s personal details.

A witness at the event told the Telegraph newspaper ‘Everyone tried to leave at the same time but the organisers weren't geared up for it and there was a huge rush to get to the cloakroom.

Wretch 32 performing before incident

"People were crying and quite a lot were being sick, whether from the blood or the alcohol"

Eventually, police let guests leave at around 1.50am.The victim thought to be in his 30’s was stretchered off into an ambulance, whilst a 25 year-old man had been arrested and taken into custody.

Jessie J, who wore a striking polka dot leotard/playsuit thingy, purple lippy, large gold hoops and her hair in a top-knot tweeted about the incident this morning: ‘My thoughts are with the person who was seriously injured last night at the Blackberry party. So sad. I really hope they are ok."

A spokesman for Blackberry-maker Research in Motion (RIM) said: "Our first concern is the well-being of the individual concerned.

"We are doing all that we can to assist the police with their inquiries."

Oh shut-uuup!!! Brian sues TOWIE!

Brian is not a happy geezer!

Big Brother 8 winner Brian Belo is set to sue the makers of TOWIE for copying his idea for the Essex based show. Yes you’ve heard that right, the lovable Essex geezer who coined such inspirational phrases such as ‘yoghurt-top’ has drafted in lawyers to sue TOWIE makers Lime Pictures and broadcaster ITV for alleged breach of copyright and breach of confidence. Brian’s filed suit at the High Court also claims that they reproduced or adapted part of a format that he created with two companies, Sassy Films and Massive TV, for a show aptly called ‘Totally Essex ‘.

Ooh, sounds like important stuff for Brian who at one point had never even heard of William Shakespeare! TOWIE makers hit back at his claims, issuing a statement saying ‘Brian Belo's claim against Lime and ITV is totally without foundation and will be vigorously defended. The creative team at Lime Pictures is very proud of TOWIE and the notion that it was not entirely their own work is a serious allegation which is completely refuted.’ 

The original TOWIE cast

But clever Brian, who first spoke about his intention to sue last year, has a trump card in the form of a pilot video for ‘Totally Essex’.  The video features ex TOWIE stars Amy, Mark and Kirk and current cast member Sam all pouting, pointing at the camera and doing some sort of weird of dancing. And there’s no doubt that the video which also features Brian and some unknown persons, has rather a lot of similarities to the show we all know and love:

Totally fake? Brian &Totally Essex cast

Flash cars and bling? Check. Fake boobs and tango orange skin? Check. Mark gazing at himself in any reflective surface? Check. 

Well, you can’t hide the fact that there are many (ok loads) similarities between the two, so whatever happens, its sure going to get very interesting! 

and in other news:

Kerry to the rescue!

Kerry to the rescue!

Who needs Wonder Woman or Super Girl when you have everyone’s favourite hero, erm Kerry Katona! Yes, the reality star has been coming to the rescue recently by leaping to the defense of her fellow female celebs, publically defending their naughty actions. Firstly, Kerry waded into the Stacey Solomon smoking row, stating that Silk Cut’s aren’t even real cigarettes! Kerry love, whoever told you that Silk Cut fags were in fact candy sticks were having a little joke with you!

Still, never one to give up super Kerry has now stuck up for X Factor judge Tulisa who has been humiliated this week following that leaked sex tape.  In her OK magazine column, the former Atomic Kitten star wrote: ‘The guy who sold it should be ashamed of himself - it says a lot about the type of guy he is. It's disgusting what he's done but I'm backing Tulisa all the way - she's done no harm to anyone, it was in her own home and she's not broken any laws." Talk about female solidarity!

Kerry who is no stranger to controversy herself, having previously battled drink and drugs, added "At the end of the day, every couple experiments with sex tapes, but it's private!” Rest assured there will be no home-made videos starring Kerry anytime soon as she revealed that she would never do her own sex tape, "Have I ever done a sex tape? No! It's bad enough doing it in front of your partner, never mind watching yourself back doing it”. That’s probably best as the last thing we want to see is Kerry indulging in a bit of hanky panky!  

So who will Kerry be protecting next? Who knows, but I’m pretty sure that Lindsay Lohan could do with some help…

AND...

•  Celebrity big brother star and half-wag Nicola McLean is 6 weeks pregnant. The blonde babe was apparently shocked at the news because she thought she was unable to conceive after her eating disorder battle. Looks like nights out on the lash with Natasha ‘lock up your husbands’ Giggs are of the cards then?

• Olly Murs is set to join one direction on their American tour. Isn’t that it great that you’re supporting one direction on tour Olly? Wait, didn’t you finish higher than them on the x factor Olly? Aren’t you older and wiser than them Olly? Aren’t you proud that they are number one on the American album chart Olly? Weren’t you glad that you interviewed them on the Xtra Factor Olly? Were you jealous when harry hooked up with Caroline Flack when it was obvious to the world and his Mrs that you wanted her Olly? Olly?

• MY. BIG. FAT. AMERICAN. GYPSY. WEDDING. COMING. SOON. MUST. BREATHE. NEED. AIR

• Kim Kardashian got flour-bombed the other day. Apparently she asked her make-up artist for more powder and someone clearly misunderstood! Or something like that…

And for your viewing pleasure, take a look at the Totally Essex pilot video and judge for yourselves. Is Brian just jel? Or is he a professional who 100% should be angry? 

Those pesky celebs!

So I stop blogging for a couple of weeks and what happens? Those pesky celebs cause so much drama and controversy I’ve got more juicy showbiz gossip than I can shake a stick at! So much has happened in celebville over the last couple of weeks that I’ve had to categorise the gossip and condense them into bite size (ish) chunks! So here it goes…

Feuds. 

Family feud: Tulisa and Dappy

• Celebs love nothing better than getting into a good old Twitter scrap, no more so it seems than Tulisa. The X Factor beauty has had a massive row with cousin and (what is now revealed) former N Dubz band mate Dappy. Laying into Dappy, who has a penchant for wearing stupid hats and saying 'na na naii’, Tulisa let rip after the rapper retweeted messages from fans who were trying to appeal to Tulisa to reach out to her band mate. Obviously enraged at being portrayed as the bad guy, Tulisa tweeted a string of messages to Dappy in which she apparently confirmed N Dubz split (I’m not going to try and translate what she says, work it out for yourselves!): 

@TheDappy u know my number mate..I dont know urs cus u aint gave it 2 me since u changed it... so dont gass the fans, u wana talk Im here."
"@TheDappy serious man I hold it down, dont make me start talkin real cus u won't like it nor will the fans, allow twitter,man up n call me.
"4 the ndubletts triena take sides... pls remember... dappy left ndubz, that's y we split, n wen he wanted 2 get away I tried 2 move him... In2 my yard."
"He left n got a new num n I aint heard from him since, he aint called or made contact, just tlks 2 the press about me. Sayin he misses me but where the hells my call, I don't even have his num! had 2 txt me dad 2 pass a message 2 him n got no reply."

She finished her rant by urging Dappy to call her and scolding herself for rowing so publicly. Over to you Dappy…

• Another Twitter row has also erupted (getting a bit boring now, isn’t it) this time between The Wanted’s Tom and TOWIE’s Mario. It all started when Lydia posted a pic of her and her mum reading a magazine in which they gave an interview. For some reason, Tom decided to have a pop and said ‘How ironic is that picture? Is that what you lot call yourselves these days for doing nothing!! #shocking.' This caused an outraged Mario to let rip, with Tom fighting back. I can’t be bothered to go into all the tweets (as there are so many) but basically Mario got labeled a 2^nd class Mark Wright whilst Tom was branded the ugly one in the band and just a backing singer to Max (the bald one in the group who is apparently the ‘fittest’). Can I just say that all these tweets seem to be true, so what’s the beef? Lydia, Lucy and Debbie waded in too but no one really cares.

Where's the love Cheryl?

• Celebrity dispute veteran Cheryl Cole has been ruffling the feathers of former X Factor mentee (is that a word?) Alexandra Burke. The 'Hallelujah’ singer has revealed that Cheryl has practically ignored her for the past year, failing to return the singers texts and calls.  This echoes claims from Cher Lloyd, who also confessed that the Geordie lass isn’t handy with the telephone and has failed to keep in touch with her either. Alex revealed this after Cheryl tweeted her out of the blue saying how hot she was in her latest video. Sounds like Chezza need to work on her people skills…                                                                                                                                                                         
• The Bachelor ‘winner’ Carianne (you know, the one with the voice that makes you want to kill yourself- or her) has slagged off ex ‘boyfriend’ Gavin Henson, branding him boring! She also stated that he tricked her and the whole relationship was fake. No s**t Sherlock! After watching that show religiously, we all knew that Gavin was as dull as Roy Cropper off Corrie and that it was probably more fun having a convo with a brick wall! You knew the score Carianne. Win the show, pretend to be interested for a while, make some money and then done! We all knew it was coming love, so stop kidding yourself!

Romance

• Love is in the air again for Mr. Lover Lover Jermaine Defoe. But clearly the footballer has had a recent bump to his head because instead of going for his normal glamour model/ reality star/ vacuous blonde type- he’s actually hooked up with someone who has a talent and isn’t a fame hungry airhead.  Step forward Alexandra Burke! Yes, Alex clearly pays attention to her song lyrics when she sang she wanted a ‘Bad Boy’. I guess dreams do come true! Although judging by Defoe’s track record with women, it’ll probably be more like a nightmare! Good luck with that one Alex!

• Another couple setting tongues wagging are pop stars Jessie J and Tinie Tempah. The two stars of British music have apparently been seeing each over for a few weeks and seem smitten, with openly bisexual Jessie spending a lot of time at his house. This romance, however unlikely, seems rather cute and fans no doubt are probably wondering if they’ll collaborate in the studio as well as the bedroom. It’ll bring music to their ears! (literally)

Babies

• A massive congratulations to The Saturday’s singer Una Healy who gave birth to baby girl Aoife Belle Foden last week! All the Saturday's girls were really excited and tweeted messages of excitement. Rochelle was recently seen with fiancé Marvin (lucky cow) going to visit baby Aoife and Una, who celebrated her first Mother's Day on Sunday. All together now- aaaww!!!                                                                                                                       

Ready to pop: Jessica Simpson

•  Breaking news- Jessica Simpson is STILL pregnant! She seems to have been carrying that bump around for about 17 years! Perhaps she had the baby ages ago but loved being preggers so much she walks around with a cushion stuffed up her top? Nonetheless, the singer (does she still sing?) looks like she’s about to give birth to a horse let alone a baby, so here’s wishing her a happy and safe birth whenever it is (hopefully sometime in the next decade).                                                                     
                                                                                                                          
  

Is that a nappy your'e waring Kris?

• Ok, so she may not be pregnant, but that doesn’t stop Kris Jenner from showing off her baby bump! The limelight hogging ‘momager’ decided that to celebrate son Rob turning 25, she’d post on her blog a picture of herself pregnant with Rob, in a style similar to that of Demi Moore (albeit years before). Yep. That’s what every 25-year-old guy wants to see. A picture of their mum, starkers (apart from a pair of white pants that looks like a nappy) with a huge bump that contains you as a foetus! Happy birthday Rob!

Other celeb news I can’t be bothered to categorise

•  Simon Cowell has threatened to axe the X Factor if this year’s series isn’t a complete success. This may very well be true what with the controversies surrounding the last series, but Mr. Cowell, isn’t this a convenient time to let this slip? A week before your other show Britain’s Got Talent is set to take on The Voice in the ratings war? I smell a rat!

• A sex tape has been leaked allegedly featuring Tulisa doing a naughty sex act, gasp! If this is true, then the former N Dubz singer is very stupid and may have ruined her X Factor career- unless Simon axes it first of course. Don’t these people ever learn? If you’re going to have sex, just don’t film it! Because as much as you love the person involved at the time, when you get rich and famous, they are only going to betray you and sell the tape! Unless of course, it’s your dream to be the new Paris or Kim… And following her row with Dappy, he responded to the sex tape news by tweeting 'Man this sex video fing is a bit rough! I knew Tulisa weren't talkin to me, but not cos she had her mouf full!!' Hmmm, don't know if that helps Dappy, but it's the thought that counts...

George in handcuffs? I'm not saying a word!

• Both Russell Brand and George Clooney have been arrested in non-related incidents. Whilst George was making people’s hearts melt by protesting outside the Sudanese  embassy about Syrian human rights abuse, Russell meanwhile grabbed a photographer’s phone and lobbed it through a law firm’s window! Tut tut!                                                                                              

• And finally 90’s band Steps recently performed at GAY, with Claire saying she doesn’t mind being the big girl in the band. The size 16 singer, who is happy with her size, doesn’t seem fazed that Lisa 'desperado' Scott-Lee is trying to be the hot one, despite everyone knowing that it was Faye that all the boys fancied. Even if she is bothered, she can always console herself with cake. And that’s not me being spiteful; Claire is actually hosting Lorraine’s Cake Club which aims to find Britain’s best cake. I think I’ll stop right here. As a treat for you, here's Steps doing what they do best:                

Chezza's at it again!

Former friends: Cheryl and Cher

Well she’s at it again! No, not Natasha Giggs and a horny footballer, I mean Cheryl Cole and her infamous Twitter scraps. Although, once again it’s not poor Chezza’s fault that someone has laid into her. This time it’s the turn of Cher Lloyd, yes the one who was mentored by Cheryl on the X Factor. To show just how much she appreciated Cheryl putting her through, supporting her and standing up for her, Cher made a naughty dig during a radio interview implying that Cheryl couldn’t sing live. Asked by Real Radio North West if a duet with the Parachutes singer was on the cards, Cher replied saying ‘Maybe if she sings live with me!’ When questioned if singing live would prove difficult for Cheryl, Miss Swagger Jagger added ‘Well it is nowadays, when you haven't got the nifty little button to press!’ Ooh, check her!  5 minutes in the business and she thinks she’s the bee’s knees! And just to dig her hole a little deeper, the 18 year old who recently got engaged to her boyfriend of 5 minutes, sarcastically replied ‘What? Oh no. Never, never ever!’ when pressed if she thought Cheryl needed the use of auto-tune.

 Not one to take it lying down (just ask MC Harvey), the Twitter war veteran flexed her fingers and delivered a scathing reply on everyone favourite social network; ‘Be Careful who you kick on your way up... They kick you twice as hard on your way back down. #unappreciationisugly.’ Ouch! I’m sure the same image of Chezza fly-kicking Cher in the head has popped into everyone’s heads as well as mine. And even though Cher has apologised about the remark, the young popstrel better watch out as we all know that our favourite Geordie lass has a mean right hook!

'I'm over age, promise!'

Talking of the X Factor (kind of) the lovable stud muffin known as Frankie Cocozza has apparently been TURNING DOWN girls! Well, one in particular. Now, I know this is hard to imagine as Frankie’s usual requirements is that you are breathing and have the correct, ahem, body part; but this lady in particular wasn’t so lucky.  Coming up to Frankie as he left London club Anaya in the wee hours, the poor girl draped herself over the ‘singer’ and planted a kiss on his cheek. Frankie, who was accompanied by BFF’s and fellow Celebrity Big Brother stars Kirk Norcross and Natasha ‘lock up your husbands’ Giggs, looked keen to get away, but the persistent brunette was a tough cookie to crack. Showing off her superb seduction skills, she then appeared to show Frankie her passport, perhaps to imply she is above the age of consent.  Classy. I guess it wasn’t her night as in a never before seen move, Frankie actually declined. But to be fair to the girl, I can clearly see why she and numerous other girls find the former X Factor star attractive. It must be his bird nest of a barnet, or perhaps his resemblance to that other hunk Pete Doherty.  Oh, I know! It’s his velvet smooth voice which is a cross between Gary Barlow and Lionel Richie. No?

'Give us a snog!' Frankie and his not-so-secret admirer.

In other breaking news this week, former TOWIE star Amy Childs and ex Heartbeat actress Tricia Penrose (Google her if you must) faced every girls nightmare- turning up to an event in the same dress! Oh the horror! At least it would have been if it was a nice dress. Take a look at the pics below and tell me if you think the dress is good or if it’s a tacky leopard print monstrosity that does nothing for neither of their figures? 

Frocky horror show: Amy and Tricia

 At the Pia Michi 2012 launch party (me neither), both girls refused to back down and change, but in the end it was Amy who relented and changed into an equally horrific purple number.  Tricia was overheard saying that she had ‘been around longer’ as a reason why she refused to change, but judging by your recent antics love, you’re in no position to talk! For as we saw a few weeks ago, at the same time Denise ‘show us yer tits’ Welch was doing what she does best outside a pub on her estranged hubby’s birthday, she was flanked by two other boob flashing women. One of which was Tricia. If you’re trying to get back in the limelight after a while in the shadows, this is not the best way of going about things dear. You’re a very good actress and so you should try acting instead of flashing your bits and picking fights with girls half your age! If you’re at a loose end love, I’m sure the Loose Women ladies will take you on board. I doubt no one will notice if they swapped you for Andrea ‘dull as dishwater’ McLean.
