As mere mortals consider more exercise and healthier eating as their new year's resolutions, Victoria Beckham has decided that she wants to "drink more water and less champagne, but you've got to keep it real". Good luck with that then Victoria!
However, the major challenge for Victoria's willpower will apparently be Wednesday nights - which are her and David's "date nights". Victoria has said that this ritual is all part of keeping the romance alive, when generally they go out and get drunk, unless David persuades her to go for a couple's massage instead. Looks like Posh will be getting a lot of massages in 2011 if she is going to stick to her resolution...

A secret wedding...

or just another cynical ploy to sell magazines? In Touch magazine is usually first with bad news where the Jolie-Pitts are concerned: Angelina is having a lesbian affair; Brangelina are on the verge of splitting; Brad's parents loathe Ange; Brad can't stop phoning Jennifer Aniston... So it makes a change for the magazine to be breaking some good news for a change - that the pair have suddenly gone and got spliced. Nice festive story that it is, Celebritree is not sure that this is any more true than all of In Touch's usual Brangelina stories...

The end is nigh?

Well Alex Reid and Katie Price haven't been seen in public together since early November, and Katie has recently been spotted several times without her wedding ring, and headed off on holiday (apparently on Christmas day) with her hairdresser, whilst Alex is at home focusing on his "acting career" and clubbing in Guildford.
All of this has led bookies to shorten odds on a Price-Reid split in 2011 to 7-4. The only doubt in anyone's mind seems to be whether they will actually make it to the new year. Perhaps that's why Katie has gone away - to give them a hope of making it to Jan 1st...

The Beckhams head back to LA

Most people pull on a pair of unflattering flight compression socks before boarding a long-haul flight. Not Victoria Beckham, who settled down for a comfy relaxed journey in a pair of skintight leather leggings as she and her boys made their way back to California after spending Christmas at home in Beckhenham palace.
The question on everyone's lips is whether Becks will be named in the Queen's New Year Honours list. Will Posh be Lady Beckham by the time she next returns to Blighty?

Take That Chillax in Barbados

The Take That boys have got together to celebrate the new year in the sunshine together, as they, and their families holiday in Barbados. Yesterday, Howard Donald was pictured wandering along the beach with his girlfriend and one of his daughters, whilst today it was Mark and his wife's turn for a photo opp. The pair look as though they don't have a care in the world after revelations rocked their romance earlier this year.
One notable absentee from the Take That gathering is Robbie Williams, said to be back in LA with his new wife, Ayda. Could it be that the boys' recovered friendship has rather more basis in Robbie's need to revive his career, after a severe dip in his popularity/record sales/income than genuine forgiveness and friendship? Or is Celebritree just being a little cynical?

Spice fashion

Earlier this month, Victoria Beckham's first line of high priced handbags sold out within an hour on website, Net-A-Porter. Now, fellow Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell is launching her own fashion line. Geri is focusing on swimwear which she models herself in the Next catalogue - slightly more affordable than the Posh handbags.

Celebrity Christmas Babies and Engagements

Two baby boys have arrived in celebville over Christmas: Alanis Morissette gave birth to her first child - a boy called Ever Imre - on Christmas Day.
Today Elton John and his partner, David Furnish, have announced that they are proud fathers to Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, who was born to a surrogate in California, also on Christmas Day. Nobody is saying who the father is...
Hmm, when will a celeb give their child a normal name?
Well, Natalie Portman might... She announced that is engaged and pregnant - all in one go. Meanwhile happy tweets from Indonesia as the love of Lily Allen's life proposed to her, and she joyfully accepted. After all the recent trauma of her miscarriage, Celebritree is pleased Lily has a happy ending to her 2010.

Celebrating Christmas with the Beckhams

The Beckhams are back in London after their trip to Brum at the weekend for David to pick up his Lifetime Achievement award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year (btw, did anyone else notice how bored poor Cruz looked at the endless award ceremony?!)
Here the couple are pictured leaving the Ramseys' Christmas party on Wednesday evening. Victoria has also had the chance to catch up with her fellow Spice Girls as the girls got together for dinner chez Posh the other evening.
Celebritree understands that Victoria will be making sure her brood eat well on Christmas Day as they apparently plan to spend the day with the Ramseys again - no doubt Gordon will be doing the cooking and Posh and Becks will just help out with the washing up!

Last minute Christmas shopping

Celebritree had heard that Ange had finished her Christmas shopping and wrapping over a week ago. However, maybe she has decided that her brood needs a few extras - as she and Brad were seen filling their trolley with toys as it is finally revealed where they will be spending Christmas: they are pictured here in Namibia - birthplace of Shiloh. Looks like the kids will spend the whole day unwrapping gifts!

Celebrity of 2010

As Dannii Minogue is awarded Metro's Celeb of the Year, Celebritree asks readers, "who should be Celebritree's Celebrity of 2010?"

Suri and Katie get into Christmas spirit

Suri Cruise and mum, Katie Holmes, were seen in Vancouver at Stanley Park, getting into the Christmas spirit with a festive train journey round the park. Here they are seen meeting a rather scary snowman. Suri, for once, seems to have spent the evening standing on her own feet - for once, wearing sensible shoes! The girls are back in Canada whilst Tom works on Mission Impossible 4.

Lifetime Achievement Award

Does anyone else think it slightly strange that David Beckham should earn a "lifetime achievement award" at only 35? Maybe the BBC were keen to up the celeb count at their annual sports awards show. And they certainly did that, with David accompanied by Victoria (who appears to have lost her hands) and their three sons at tonight's awards ceremony.
It seems that, like the Jolie-Pitts, the Beckhams are all sorted with their Christmas shopping. Victoria has bought David some gold-plated headphones, whilst he has picked up an iPod case studded with Swarovski diamonds. So that's what you buy for the couple who has it all.

Katie's Rivals in Love - the Sugababes?!

Well, rumours continue that Katie Price and Alex Reid's marriage may soon be over. He's apparently still living with his parents as they try a trial situation, in the hope that absence will make the heart go fonder (or at least give Alex a break from Katie's nagging). Anyway, Alex seems to be taking full advantage of his freedom, as he helped run up a £30K bill at Mahiki the other night, and was then seen out and about looking cosy with Amelle Berrabah - the rough one from the Sugababes.
What is it with Katie's exes and members of that band? Just this week rumours have started up about Peter Andre and former Sugababe, Kesha Buchanan. Whatever next? Will Heidi be hooking up with Dane Bowers? Will Mutya get it on with Dwight Yorke? Hmm, well time will tell...

The Jolie-Pitts' Christmas Adventure

Fresh from her world tour promoting her latest movie, The Tourist, you might think that Angelina Jolie would be looking forward to a chilled out Christmas with the kids at home. However, nothing so run of the mill for the Jolie-Pitts! No, Angelina plans to take her vast brood on a Christmas adventure to "some random part of the world". It seems they've tried the traditional Christmas at home with Brad's parents, and Angelina wasn't too keen. So, she'll be packing up her extensive Christmas shopping and heading for somewhere exotic. The question is: will they be bringing another child back from wherever they visit?!

A new playmate for Ash?

It seems that Ashley Cole has found himself a new playmate - former Playboy Playmate and, more recently known as star of I'm a Celebrity, Kayla Collins. Apparently Kayla was keen to meet a British guy, thinking them so cute. Perhaps to this end, she threw a party at the Funky Buddha nightclub and Ashley was one of those so-called hot Brits in attendance. The two chatted, hit it off and have apparently been on a couple of dates since. In fact, Kayla think that Ashley could be "the one" - err, don't rush in too quickly, Kayla! Ashley will be relieved that Cheryl has given his new relationship her blessing, saying that she is happy that he has moved on. Phew! Although maybe Cheryl just has other worries: as she prepares for her big move to the US, she is apparently feeling threatened by Leona Lewis. It seems Leona is wanting a change in direction and is keen to work with Will.i.am. Cheryl isn't keen on the idea, as she is anxious to establish herself on the other side of the Atlantic, and doesn't want another of Simon's protégées getting in her way.

Dancing on Thin Ice?

With Strictly all over for another year, the star-studded line-up for Dancing on Ice has now been announced. The list seems never-ending (including Frank Lampard's ex, Elen Rives; Richard and Judy's daughter, Chloe Madeley; former Neighbour, Craig McLachlan; the usual token Hollyoaks lovely, Jennifer Metcalfe; father of Jade Goody's kids, Jeff Brazier; ex Corrie stars, Steven Arnold and Denise Welch; Vanilla Ice, Angela Rippon and, star of the show/car crash waiting to happen, Kerry Katona). The novelty this year is that some celebs will be voted off before they even get chance to skate - probably a relief or the show could go on for 3 hours! However, things are looking rather worrying for Kerry, who has apparently fractured two ribs in training. She was seen at a Peter Andre concert clutching her side, looking in some pain, although that might just have been Pete's performance...

X Factor backstage

Kimberley and Nicola were at the X Factor final on Sunday and dashed backstage to Cheryl's dressing room after the result was announced to console her for failing to win with one of her acts for the first time. The girls managed to bring a smile back to Cheryl's face - or perhaps she is just dreaming of her escape to LA where she will get to spend lots more time with Derek Hough / move in with Will.I.am, depending on which reports you read.
On the Girls Aloud front, Nadine's lack of success hasn't put off the girls - Kimberley is guest vocalling on Aggro Santos's new single (the one nobody knew from I'm a Celeb) and planning to release an album in the new year and Nicola is planning to take a break from fashion and make up (hmm probably best based on this photo) and work on some solo material too. So it really doesn't look as though Girls Aloud will be reuniting any time soon...
Elsewhere, it seems Konnie Huq has been fired from X Factor and top tips to replace her include Kimberley and Christine Bleakley...

Blondes have more fun?

Katie Price is currently enjoying a break Stateside with her hairdresser/make up artist friend, Gary Cockrill. Seeing the California sunshine has obviously had an effect on her style, as Katie has decided to go blonde again. This has sent the rumour mongers going as Katie once claimed that she is always blonde when pregnant. So has Katie finally got her wish to be Reidonated? Well, she's denying it for now...

Katie Lashes Out

Now, Celebritree is not usually one to stick up for Katie Price and her media rants, but on this occasion, Celebritree actually feels a wee bit sorry for Katie. There has been huge furore after controversial comedian, Frankie Boyle (who Celebritree had the misfortune to see live once - he's not funny and he can't take a bit of heckling as he stormed off after about 2 minutes) made a highly inappropriate joke about her and Harvey on his Channel 4 show.
Apparently the joke started that she and Peter Andre were still in court battling to avoid custody of Harvey and then descended into sexual innuendo. Amazingly (and Celebritree doesn't want to come over all Daily Mail reader here), despite Ofcom complaints, Channel 4 didn't deem this unsuitable material and broadcast it again.
Katie is demanding an apology. Celebritree can't see Frankie Boyle giving her one...

Cher Lloyd leaves X Factor with a bang

Unsurprsingly, Cher Lloyd was the first of the X Factor finalists to be voted out, despite the fawning attentions of Simon and Cheryl. Clearly she wasn't going to win, as the public just didn't like her (or her attitude) enough, so not quite sure why the producers/Lord Cowell went to the trouble of seemingly changing the rules to get her to make the final. Still, she got to duet with Will.i.am, and she even managed to avoid blubbing when she was told she was first out.
Seemingly it was a different story backstage, as she threw another of her infamous tantrums, claiming that she didn't "give a f***" as she would be the biggest thing ever to come out of X factor anyway and that she knew they'd all hated her from the beginning, but with Cheryl's support, she's sure she'll make it big.
So, as the nation awaits to see who will make it to be Champion this year, former X Factor winner, Steve is playing to Cafe Neros around the country - audiences of about 20 people! Still, Celebritree assumes that that still beats his previous job, as bin man. Steve claims that Lord Cowell offered him £12,500 to go away, and that he wasn't supported in his career at all. The £1million record deal one off for the winner is a sham, allegedly, as he received nothing like that, and, in fact, 16 acts have been signed during 6 years of X Factor shows. Errr, but how many of them can anyone actually name a year or so later...?!
So, will Cher make it big? Or will Cheryl head off to the States with Derek, Will.i.am and Lord Cowell (ooh, and mum carrying her luggage five paces behind) or will she stand by her mini-me and help her hit the big time? Only time will tell...
Does anyone actually care who wins?!

Liz Hurley and Australia's Great Lost Hope

Australian cricketer, Shane Warne, has recently been in the papers as his national side have started to crumble against the England team in the Ashes - the Aussie team needs him back, despite the fact that he retired a couple of years ago. However, now he finds himself in the papers for his other great talent - for when Shane Warne isn't spin-bowling, he can often be found chatting up beautiful women - and this time, it's English Rose, Liz Hurley, who he seems to have set his sights on. Shown here at Goodwood in the summer, the pair have been getting increasingly familiar and flirtatious on Twitter, and this weekend were spotted in a hotel together late at night. Liz is defending accusations that she is cheating on husband, Arun Nayar, claiming that they split some months ago. Shane split from his wife due to his philandering ways back in 2007, though he returned to her in 2009 and the pair still live together, although they are no longer a "couple".
Hmm, Celebritree assumes there are easier ways to carry on a long-distance relationship than via public domain, Twitter!

The Big Chill hits LA?

As much of Britain continues to suffer from "the big freeze", it looks like wearing some warm outerwear. It seems VB has invested in this season's essential item - a cape.

Celebritree would be pleased to see Victoria dressing appropriately for the season, if I weren't so concerned that she must be getting very chilly forearms...
Victoria, before you come back to Blighty, Celebritree reckons that you it must be getting a tad parky over in California, as Victoria Beckham has actually been spotted should invest in some winter woollens, or at least a long pair of gloves....

The Plot Thickens

So... Following yesterday's blog entry, it seems that things at X Factor were not quite what they seemed. In fact, having seen that "the nation's sweetheart's favourite", Cher Lloyd, was in the bottom two, it seems the producers / Simon Cowell had a change of heart and decided that the judges would have the final decision on who should go through to the final. And what do you know? Cher is through! Poor old Mary is off back to Tesco in Ireland, whilst the diva remains, with more strops to follow this week, no doubt.
Interesting also that for the first time, there are to be four acts in this year's final. Some had suggested that the bottom two acts would both go out last night, in order to reduce to a final three. Clearly, that was rethought too.
Cheryl looked to be showing the strain as she left the studio last night.
Whatever happens, Cher looks set to be the big winner of this year's X Factor as rumour has it that she is set to sign a $2 million record deal and her first album will feature a duet with her idol, Cheryl.

Cheryl lets her hair down

After having to deal with the diva in her team at X Factor, Cheryl Cole last night headed out to the Red Room in Mayfair with her Girls Aloud band mates (except Nadine, of course), Fergie and Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas and the omnipresent, Joan (Chezza's mum).
Cheryl wasn't exactly attired for the freezing conditions, although it looks like some gentleman has offered his jacket to her as she headed home. Fergie was looking far more snug in a furry coat, that looked like it may have been borrowed from Sesame Street's Big Bird.

Injunction lifted

There has been plenty of talk about footballers using gagging orders to keep their sordid affairs out of the papers, but the latest gagging order to hit the papers was imposed by Howard Donald on his on/off mistress of ten years, Adakini Ntuli. It has now lifted and Adakini can't wait to tell the tabloids about "love cheat" Howard. Although Howard has never married, he does have two children by two previous long-term girlfriends. Adakini says that Howard met her when he was with the mother of his elder child, Grace. The two apparently began a passionate affair and Adakini didn't feel that Howard was trying to hide her away. When his relationship with Grace's mother, Victoria, broke down, however, he met someone else: Marie Christine, with whom he fathered his second daughter, Lola, now five. Adakini was disappointed that he still didn't make things official, and the pair broke up for a while. However, when it emerged earlier this year that Howard had had yet another mistress, Adakini threw a wobbly, texting Howard: 'Why should I continue 2 suffer financially 4 the sake of loyalty when selling my story will sort my life out?' So now, Celebritree waits with baited breath to see exactly how washing her dirty linen in public sorts her life out...

Lily Allen hits the town again

After her recent miscarriage and subsequent illness, Celebritree is pleased to see Lily Allen up and about again as she ventured up to the big smoke from her country abode. She was in London for the opening of an envelope (ooops! Miu Miu's new store) and was looking chic in a winter white coat and little black dress, with Chanel handbag.
Hopefully Lily will start to feel more like her old cheery self sometime soon.

Brangelina - Christmas shopping

After a whirlwind trip to Paris, to promote Ange's latest blockbuster, The Tourist, Brangelina and their brood are back in the US. This week they ventured out in NYC, as they took the twins, Vivienne and Knox, Christmas shopping at Lee's Art Shop. The twins were wrapped up warm against the New York cold, on a rare appearance out. Again playing with gender roles, it seems Knox's flowing locks may even be longer than those of his twin sister...

Cher's Lethal Weapon

As the X Factor reached its quarter final stage this weekend, some of the contestants are starting to feel the strain. Apparently Cher Lloyd threw a wobbly during rehearsals after she failed to complete her songs properly. She broke down in tears and then shrieked at the camera woman, "Get out of my face!" Mentor, Cheryl, had to step in and take her out for lunch (probably they shared a lettuce leaf or something) to give her chance to calm down.
It seems Cher's diva act had an encore last night after the show. Knowing that this week it is all down to the audience vote, with the judges apparently not having the power to save their favourites, Cher isn't feeling too confident of her dream to make the finals. This (so-called "shocking") photo shows Cher flipping out at one of the show's assistants as she brandishes a lethal weapon - or rather, a spoon, waving it in the long-suffering assistant's face.
All will be revealed this evening, so the wait is nearly over for poor Cher...

Kate back in court

At last, Katie Price has received the driving ban that seems to have been on its way for ages. This was a £1,000 fine and another 3 points on her licence (taking her over 12 points) for driving at 83mph. There have been a few more offences since then so things won't be getting better any time soon. It does mean she won't be able to drive her kids around, although something tells Celebritree that Katie can probably afford to fork out for a chauffeur (even after the £1000 fine)...

Comeback Queen

Watch out! Apparently Geri Halliwell is back in the studio recording a new solo album. Sadly she doesn't have a record deal, but the great thing now is that you have enough money, self-belief and the right contacts, you can record and release your own album on your own label - thereby keeping all the spondoolies yourself. Geri's master plan for chart domination begins with recording a dance version of a classic favourite track - the only issue being that she can't choose one, so is texting her mates, including Victoria Beckham, for suggestions. Any ideas for Geri, Celebritree readers?

Royal wedding excitement

The excitement is really building for the royal wedding now that we know the big date. There are still lots of questions: who will be Kate's bridesmaids? Who will design her dress? Which tiara will Kate wear? And what does Harry have in store for Will's stag do?
However Celebritree is really excited now that the guest list is starting to emerge: apparently Elton and Macca are on the list, with Elton tipped to perform. Slightly more surprising and exciting is the invite for the Beckhams - apparently David and William got close during the World Cup so David texted his new mate as soon as he heard the good news about the engagement. A source has said that William texted straight back to tell David that he and Victoria are on the list.
Celebritree can't wait to see what Victoria wears. Hmm, maybe she could design Kate's dress.... What do you think Celebritree readers?

Phew! Pete's on the road to recovery

Phew! Peter Andre is out of hospital and going ahead with his Minehead gig at Butlin's tonight (all the classy venues in this tour, clearly). That's the good news. The bad news for Pete's Somerset fans is that he is still not well enough to put on his high energy dance routines, so will be concentrating on giving "the vocal performance of a lifetime." Still no word on what was wrong with him though Pete has said he thought he was dying.
In another of those weird stories that could only happen to the Price-Andre clan, Katie has spoken out about the case of the missing camera - allegedly stolen from Pete's house in August. She claims that Harvey took it (by mistake presumably - Celebritree assumes Harvey hasn't become some kind of clepto) and she will happily replace it. Finding it at her house, Katie checked the photos and discovered some of Pete's brother, Michael, having hair transplants. Being Katie, she made sure to tweet about the offending pics immediately. Mind you, if you want to have secret hair transplants, probably best to avoid photographic evidence.

Suri keen for stardom

It seems stardom cannot come too soon for Suri Cruise, as it is claimed that she is pestering her mum, Katie Holmes, to let her start a music or movie career. It seems that Suri has been inspired by her good friend and new popstrel, Willow Smith. Willow's parents, Will and Jada, have been good friends with TomKat for some years and 4 year old Suri seems to idolise ten year old Willow.
Still, Katie is said to be concerned that her daughter is growing up too soon. Err, shouldn't you have thought of that before you started dressing her in heels and lip gloss...?

Pete rushed to hospital

Peter Andre was due to start his arena tour this evening but the big occasion has been postponed after Pete was rushed to hospital. The news ways revealed (of course) on Twitter by his ex-wife, who clearly isn't satisfied with the publicity generated by her book tour and her appearances minus wedding ring (are Katie and Alex really on the verge of divorce?) so she decided to take advantage of her ex's illness for another chance to generate some publicity / sell some books or perfume / show how much she really cares... She told the world, "I'm told CAN are going to release a statement saying pete been rushed to hospital with stomach pains!why does press need to know! hope pete ok".
CAN did indeed release a statement confirming Katie's tweet and highlighting the necessity to make a press release to inform his devoted fans of the delay to his tour.
Celebritree just hopes it's nothing serious and that Pete can hit the tour trail again soon!

Eva and Tony split latest

The marriage of Eva Longoria and Tony Parker is over, with Tony managing to generate almost as many scandals as fellow newly single man, David Arquette. A British girl has come forward with a series of sexts from Tony, including a half naked photo. There are also rumours of his infidelity doing the rounds in the US, including some that he has slept with his teammate's ex. Jeez, he sounds like the American John Terry...
Thankfully, Eva has some great friends, who are proving a tower of strength, such as Victoria Beckham. Victoria's shoulders must be very damp with tears, with her offering both Eva and Tana Ramsey a shoulder to cry on...

Partying with Pete

The stars were out in force last night as Claire Powell, best known for being Peter Andre's manager, celebrated her birthday at the Crazy Bear private members' club in Covent Garden. Kerry Katona was showing off her slimline figure in a skimpy animal print frock, whilst chatting with The Only Way is Essex star, Amy. Celebritree is wondering whether Amy is offering to give classy Kerry a vajazzle...
Meanwhile, Pete is making big plans for his forthcoming tour - apparently he has devised a routine that involves 5 year old Junior joining him on stage. No doubt Katie will be thrilled!

Poor Nadine

Nadine is now back home in LA, taking comfort from her family, fiancé and pets after her debut solo album sold only 5,000 copies in its first week (suddenly the exclusive deal with Tesco doesn't seem like quite such a great scoop). Nadine and her dad were seen taking the dogs for a walk, with Nadine looking pretty glum. Apparently she had really hoped that her move to LA would really kickstart her career, but now she feels that she's going nowhere. Still, Nadine, at least you have a hunky fiance, Cheryl can't curl up with her career on a cold night... Not that Nadine will get many cold nights in California!

Another one bites the dust

Kate Winslet has come over all Garboesque on us, following the break up of her four month old romance with model, Louis Dowler. He was planning to move to Chicago to be with Kate whilst she works on her latest movie, but it seems it's not to be as friends have revealed the romance is over, with Kate declaring that she wants to be alone. Has she found another hunky director or has she decided to give her love life a break for a bit? Only time will tell, but Celebritree can't see our Kate staying single for long!

They're lining up to knock the nation's sweetheart...

Any regular X Factor viewers will probably have heard Cheryl laying into Wagner on last night's show, after he said in a newspaper interview that she was just "a girl from a council estate who got lucky".
However, it seems the crazy Brazilian isn't the only one anxious to badmouth Chezza. It has emerged that designer, Julien McDonald, came up to Cheryl at Sarah Harding's Halloween party and told her that her red hair looked "s**t" before calling her a chav. Cheryl didn't take this lying down screeching, "f**k you! Didn't you hear me? I said f**k you!" thereby revealing her class, before her knight in shining armour, random celeb, Will Mellor, stepped in to defend her honour. She then hit the dance floor to indulge in some provocative dance routines with Nicola from Girls Aloud. (Celebritree imagines that Will Mellor was disappointed not to be involved in that!)
Nobody really knows what got Julien's goat - he used to dress Cheryl (I.e. Provide her with fancy frocks to wear, rather than helping her squeeze into bandage leggings and the like) but it seems pretty unlikely she'll be stepping out in any of his gear again...

New Strictly romance?

It seems that the romance between Strictly professional, Flavia Cacace and her partner of 3 years, Matt Di Angelo, has ended. The couple had managed to stay together after meeting on the show, moving in together. Still, it seems Flavia might be making a habit of falling for her dance partners, as rumours have emerged that Flavia has waltzed off with her partner from this year's Strictly, Jimi Mistry. Jimi has been single since his marriage broke up 4 years ago. It seems the couple were spotted looking intimate at the 20th Annual Drapers Fashion Awards (hmm, clearly now they are out of the show, they have time to attend the opening of an envelope!)
Strictly is turning into a hotbed of romance: aside from Flavia's two dalliances, last year Joe Calzaghe left his long-term partner for dance partner, Christina Rihanoff and Ali Bastian got together with her dance partner, Brian Fortuna (they split last month). One thing is for sure: Anton is certainly not in danger of getting any romance with Big Bird/Anne Widdecombe!

Girls Aloud - rapprochement?

Girls Aloud (minus Nadine - of course - she has slunk back to the States following the 'success' of her single) were out in force at the Mirror's Pride of Britain awards last night. Although Nadine was out of the picture, Girls Aloud fans will be pleased to hear that she has at last spoken to one of her bandmates. After seeing all of the other girls together on X Factor, Nadine held out an olive branch to Cheryl and the two got together at Chezza's house to have a good old chinwag and clear the air. However, it seems Sarah, Nicola and Kimberley couldn't make the peace talks. Still maybe there's hope of a reunion yet...

Posh is in town

It seems a while since Victoria Beckham graced our shores, but she is back in London this week, saying how much she would love to show at London Fashion Week, as she's proud of her heritage. Last night she was dining out at pal, Gordon Ramsey's Maze restaurant, dressed like the little ray of sunshine that she is in one of her own designs in "spiritual" golden yellow.

Nadine flops

Oh dear! Nadine has hardly set the world alight with her debut solo offering. Insatiable entered the charts today at a lowly number 26. Admittedly that's an improvement on her midweek position, but still is nowhere close to matching the hype. Meanwhile Shakespears Sister managed to enter the charts at number 12 with a song from 1992, Stay, after it was covered last week on X Factor by Cher Lloyd...

Bye bye Bingles

In more bad news for the Reid-Price clan, Katie and Alex have apparently got rid of their pet micro pig, Bingles (a wedding gift named by Princess). It seems that micro pigs can have a nasty side to them, as Alex says that Bingles was becoming increasingly aggressive, especially when people were eating and that they couldn't take any chances with the kids (although Celebritree reckons that Harvey, Junior and Princess probably know how to take care of themselves...)
Alex doesn't know if this is a general micro pig problem or if they just got unlucky with Bingles...

These boots are made for...?!

Katie Price has been haunting the nation's bookshops as she promotes the latest of her autobiographies. It was obviously chilly in Manchester as she sported some very furry boots. Apparently despite her loving message to her ex husband in her latest book, she is not really feeling the love - she apparently threw a shoe at her TV during his performance on Strictly the other week (let's hope it wasn't one of these boots or she could have done some serious damage!)
More bad news for Katie: the incident last month when she hit a person whilst on her mobile en route to see Michelle Heaton in a play may result in a 2 year custodial sentence! At the least, Katie can probably expect to lose her licence - she already has 7 points. Surely something must be done: it's just a matter of time before she sends her 4x4 crashing into a Snappy Snaps...

Cheryl's busy week

Cheryl has had a busy week after reaching number 1 in last week's chart. She headed off to LA for 24 hours, allegedly to spend time with Derek Hough, who she hadn't seen for 2 months due to their busy schedules. However, her motives may have been driven by $$ rather than love as she returned with a £6 million US record deal, amid news that she is to be Simon's little helper on the US X Factor.
All this jet setting has taken its toll as on last night's X Factor, Simon accused her of being a lazy mentor, and today's tabloids claimed her protégées have been feeling abandoned, without even having a number to call on Cheryl for advice. Still, apparently she did find time to read the riot act to Cher, her alleged favourite, who had smuggled a bottle of vodka into her room, flouting the no alcohol rules and the fact she is underage. Still, Celebritree supposes she has to get her calories somewhere....

Skater Boys

Brooklyn and Cruz showed off their skating boarding skills at Brentwood yesterday as mum looked on from the car, nervously biting her nails. No doubt Victoria's chosen outfit wasn't street enough for the skating scene. Romeo was nowhere to be seen - perhaps he was at home concentrating on his sunglasses designs. David confirmed this week that the family are planning to stay in the US for the foreseeable future, and may even become US citizens one day...

Best dressed

Carey Mulligan has been named best dressed woman of the year by Harper's Bazaar, beating usual best dressed suspects, Victoria Beckham, Stella McCartney, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Moss to the title. Controversial decision?

Nadine's much anticipated and much promoted single

flops dramatically! It's made only no 35 in the mid-week charts having only sold 117 hard copies. And only 2,500 electronic copies! EEEK Nadine! After all that promotion and anticipation...
Looks like Cheryl has won the Girls Aloud battle...

Diet secrets of the stars

Kylie Minogue has recently dropped a dress size as she attempts to conquer America. Obviously she had quite a few spare pounds to lose... So what's her secret? An extreme water diet - involving just one low calorie meal per day and then keeping her appetite at bay with water flavoured with fresh lemon or lime. Hmm, sounds delicious. Oh, and when she fancies a treat, Kyles freezes her citrus water into ice cubes - apparently it makes her feel like she's enjoying an ice lolly.
Meanwhile, Nadine, who is often in the press for her skinny figure, has revealed she loves fry-ups and chocolate (presumably not on the same plate) and would love to have her own cookery show to demonstrate just how much she loves her food.
Perhaps they could both take some advice from Pamela Stephenson who has lost 2 stone on the Strictly Come Dancing hard core training regime. Probably slightly healthier than sucking ice cubes...
