Peter Andre steps out for a cosy date with Frank Lampard’s ex Elen Rivas…

Two years after his split from Katie Price, Peter Andre has gone public with a brand new relationship.The pop star is now dating Frank Lampard’s ex fiancée Elen Rivas who he stepped out with earlier this week for a cosy date (they went to Claridges, followed by a trip to the theatre to watch Flashdance – since you asked).
According to reports the singer has been dating Rivas – who’s starring in the upcoming series of Dancing on Ice – since November, and apparently their relationship is already very “serious”. A source divulged today:
‘Yes, Peter and Elen are dating. It is early days but this is not just a date, they are in a relationship and have been for a couple of months.'
Peter seems pretty besotted with Elen, apparently telling pals:
'She is so classy and beautiful, just the change I needed after everything that has happened in the last two years.'
Meanwhile though Elen has bizarrely decided to deny her relationship with Peter today, telling her followers on Twitter:
'I am not dating Peter Andre, was told it wouldn't be long before that one cropped up!'
Yeah, sure – we believe you…

Katie Price admits her marriage to Alex Reid is in crisis…

After months of speculation, Katie Price has just admitted what we all already bloody well knew; that her marriage to Alex Reid is on the rocks.On Twitter this morning Katie said:
“To answer my fans questions news of the world did a accurate story sunday about our marriage in crises ..always look on bright side xx”
The News Of The World story she’s referring to claimed that the pair had jetted off to an Indian Ocean resort in order to salvage their relationship. A source told the publication on Sunday:

"It is no exaggeration to say that the marriage is in crisis. They needed some time on their own without any distractions to talk and see if they had something worth saving. They love each other very much and are doing everything they can to make it work”
So we guess from Katie’s Tweet that her and Alex haven’t actually split up yet, however it sounds like they’re not far off….

Brett Favre Accusers: Stiffed By the Jets

Brett Favre's two masseuse accusers say they were nixed by the Jets in a bid to get their jobs back and that's why they're press their case against the QB.
Before they sued Favre for sexual harassment, they made a last ditch appeal to the team , but were both denied, according to an attorney for the women.
Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole sent a letter in November asking the Jets to rehire them. They claim the Jets stopped doing so after Favre's incident.

Will Brett Favre have a lawsuit dismissal to celebrate?

Scavo says her husband called and confronted Favre on the phone about lewd text messages he allegedly sent proposing a rendezvous with the women.
The two massage therapists and the Jets went back and forth, but ultimately the NFL franchise refused to put Scavo and O'Toole back on the payroll.
Only then did they decide to sue Favre and the team to recoup lost wages.
That'll be a legal stretch. Scavo and O'Toole were never officially "terminated" by the Jets, since they weren't Jets employees, but contracted workers.
We have no idea what these women look like, but to see the other woman Favre is accused of harassing, check out these Jenn Sterger pictures!

Gerry Rafferty Passes Away

Despite the hit songs, Rafferty kept a low profile in recent years. His last album was released in 2000 and he endured struggles with alcohol over the years.
May he rest in peace. Here's the music video for one of Gerry's hits, with the signature saxophone part you've probably heard 100 times but can't place ...

Jillian Harris Has Brad Womack's Back

Jillian Harris says she fully supports Brad Womack getting a second chance on The Bachelor. She might even be feeling a little jealous of him, in fact.
The Bachelorette star chose Ed Swiderski. That didn't work out.
"I won't lie that when I heard he was getting a second chance, I was a bit green-eyed and thought seriously about hitting my [The Bachelor creator] Mike Fleiss speed dial, demanding he cough up my second chance, too," she writes.

Jillian also commented on the infamous season premiere slap.

"When Chantal slapped Brad on the The Bachelor season premiere, he responded that he liked her more. I had to hold myself back from leaping through the screen to slap him again! Not because he deserved it, but because he didn't!"

"I am very much on the supporting side of this second chance debate. In fact, I'm floored at the pressure put on Brad by himself, the media, and the girls."
"I have learned a lot this year. No one is perfect, sometimes people just aren't ready, and most importantly, everyone deserves a second chance."
"This is why I was going crazy seeing Brad being so hard on himself. In fact, I was actually starting to get a tad annoyed by it. Don't get me wrong, I've had my heart broken and know the hurt my girls Jenni and Deanna felt three years ago."
"But Brad Womack did something you don't see all the time; he went against the rules of the show and just followed the rules of life."
He also follows the narrative written by the show, and that's to harp on the whole "second chance" angle until he's blue in the face.
That way, no one can accuse him of being blase about it, and America can like him again. At least that's how Mike Fleiss drew it up.
For a look at how it works out for him, check out these Bachelor spoilers now ... but beware, there is major information in there.

Just spotted: Keanu Reeves in London...

Lets be honest, Keanu Reeves looked pretty god damn moody when we spotted him strolling through Covent Garden a short while ago, which is pretty ironic seeing as the 46-year-old recently hit out at people who criticise him for his lack of smiling both in and outside of films.Speaking to Elle magazine the Hollywood actor joked about the true meaning of the term ‘happiness’ saying:
“How do I live with any happiness? I’m not living if I don’t have a Golden Retriever! I see articles all over about what is the new happiness.”
Okay Keanu, we can see what you’re doing, you’re going off on a tangent to distract from the original point. Nice try, but we still think you’re a miserable old so and so.

Look, its Lindsay Lohan back in the big wide world again! Hurrah!

And doesn’t she look good? Yup, rehab certainly seems to have done wonders for the Mean Girls star who was looking smiley, healthy and happy as she made her way to the gym in LA yesterday despite that legal drama which is currently looming over her.Meanwhile after finding out about Samantha Ronson’s angry reaction to the news that she was moving in next door to her, Lindsay Lohan has offered to relocate. She claims she had “no idea” that Sam lived in the house next door to her (uh-ha, yeah sure we believe you) and she added that she’d be only too pleased to move if it made her ex-girlfriend happy.
Yeah we think it kind of would, that’s kind of the point isn’t it?

Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift: It's Over!

Good. We were sick of writing the word Swiftenhaal anyway...
Multiple sources confirm that Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift have ended their brief romance.
The couple split prior to New Year's Eve, with Gyllenhaal actually being the one to put the kabosh on a romance that began in October.

"Jake reached out to her and started all of this, but now he’s not acting as interested," an insider tells Us Weekly. "He said he wasn't feeling it anymore and was uncomfortable with all the attention they got. He also said he could feel the age difference."
After initially attempting to keep its fling private, the duo was spotted out multiple times in December. Most witnesses said they looked very much into each other.

"Taylor is really upset," this source added. "We told her not to move so fast with this but she didn't listen."
Hey, at least it will make good material for a future hit song!

Family: Michael Jackson Feared Being Murdered

Members of Michael Jackson's family say the singer predicted his own death shortly before he died, becoming increasingly fearful that he'd be murdered.
His incredibly valuable Sony catalog was behind that paranoia.
The comments from his family are in response to speculation that Dr. Conrad Murray will argue in court that Michael Jackson killed himself accidentally.

Murray stands accused of involuntary manslaughter for drugging MJ with Propofol. His defense may well argue that Jackson gave himself the final dose.
A rep for MJ's family says the Jacksons are "absolutely mortified" by any implication along those lines, insisting "Michael did NOT kill himself."
The rep adds, "What is incredibly ironic is that Michael told his mother shortly before he died that he thought someone was going to kill him."
"They were going to kill him for his catalog."

It's unclear why the death of Michael Jackson would make the catalog available to the assailant - it's property of his estate - but that's not the point.
The family is also concerned that video surveillance of Michael's last living moments - crucial evidence in Dr. Conrad Murray's trial - is still missing.
Murray's preliminary hearing began yesterday. The prosecution will outline its case and a judge will decide if there's enough to warrant a jury trial.
There is NO WAY this is not going to trial.
The defense knows it too, and won't even put up a fight in this round. Yesterday, This Is It producer Kenny Ortega took the stand against Murray.

Stalker Much? Lindsay Lohan Living NEXT DOOR to Samantha Ronson; Beach Community Not Happy

Two days out of rehab and Lindsay Lohan is already causing a stir.
Not only might she still face jail time for her little scuffle at Betty Ford, the quiet L.A. beachside community of Venice where she moved is displeased.
Number one on its list of ticked off residents? Samantha Ronson. Lohan is living next door to her, after all. All by "coincidence," Lindsay claims.

THE OLD DAYS: Sam isn't smiling right now.

Ronson's distaste for hoards of photographers was a big reason she and Lohan broke up (for further evidence of why, see these Lindsay drunk photos).
Just the same, LiLo claims she had "no idea" her new beach house was right next door to her ex, and is willing to move in order to "keep the peace."
Lohan says she was aware Sam lived somewhere in Venice, Calif., but had no idea where until she saw her pull into the garage next door Tuesday.
Now Sam is "pissed" and she's far from the only one.

“We usually don’t do celeb stuff, but got a lot of emails on this one... so... Lindsay Lohan is moving to Venice?” a local neighborhood website wrote.
Hollywood stars such as Rosario Dawson, Emile Hirsch, Anna Paquin and Tim Robbins prefer residing in Venice as an escape from the paparazzi.
Lohan’s move may put a damper on that coveted privacy.
"People move to Venice to get away from Hollywood,” one resident said. “Lindsay Lohan represents exactly what everyone is trying to escape.”
“If she moves here I hope someone posts a pic of her vehicle so I know when to get off the street & outta [sic] her way!” a Venice resident said.
"A block away from me. Gonna [sic] get a gun."

Montel Williams Cited for Drug Pipe Possession

Montel Williams was stopped at General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee last night and cited for possession of a drug pipe - but the former talk show host wasn't preparing to pull a Miley.

He's a spokesperson for the Partnership for Prescription Assistance and also founded the MS Foundation.

Chanelle Hayes enjoys a night on the town with Capital FM DJ Greg Burns...

Bit random, no?Since splitting from Jack Tweed last summer – although we don’t really classify what they had as a real relationship, more of an attention seeking fling, but anyhoo – Chanelle Hayes has been totally and utterly single.
So when we spotted her strolling around Mayfair last night arm-in-arm with a mystery man we initially thought she might have bagged herself a fella, but it turns out we were wrong.
The man in the pictures is in fact Capital FM DJ, and long-term pal of the former Big Brother star, Greg Burns.

Abbey Clancy breaks her silence following Peter Crouch cheating scandal...

In the upcoming issue of Glamour magazine, Abigail Clancy has spoken for the first time about how she felt when allegations of Peter Crouch’s infidelities surfaced last summer.The 24-year-old model, who is currently six-months pregnant with the England striker’s first child admitted:
“I worried about stress affecting the baby. I’m a hypochondriac anyway.”
Oh, we don’t know if we’d call that hypochondria, it sounds like a perfectly justifiable emotion considering her fiancé had allegedly bedded a hooker while on a stag do, but anyway, she then went on to say:
“I don’t like feeling vulnerable. I think my mum and dad’s divorce affected me more than I let on.
“I don’t like being weak in front of my mum or anyone for that matter. I don’t like crying.
“Even through all the shit, I didn’t speak to anyone. We’ve kept our private life private.”
She then insisted that everything is absolutely ‘fine’ now – “We’re both fine. We’ve got our little baby coming. There are worse things that have happened” she said.
Er, if you say so!

Courtney Love is giving up Twitter – world breathes a massive sigh of relief…

[Images: Twitter Words: Samuel Nathan]

For those of you who don’t follow Courtney Love on Twitter, you’re probably not familiar with the insanity that spouts forth from the singer’s fingers on a daily basis and nor will you be familiar with it from henceforth cos Court is quitting Twitter – or so she claims.She told her followers today:
‘the end.am shutting down all social media tomorrow first thing, from here on in i have NO Comment, includes FB, Just waiting to be asked!’
The decision comes after the singer posted these pictures of herself posing in various saucy outfits around her new boyfriend’s house, who just so happens to be Henry Allsopp, the son of a Lord and the younger brother of TV presenter Kirsty Allsopp  - and we bet he probably wasn’t too happy when he caught sight of these snaps.
So will Courtney really shut down Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and whatever else she has at her disposal? We very much doubt it but we can but dream…
