Cheryl's well on the road to recovery

Clearly Cheryl's Starbucks yesterday worked wonders, as she now seems to be well on the road (or should that be flight?) to recovery! She and Derek were seen at Heathrow today, heading off to Los Angeles, for her to continue her recovery - apparently she's been desperate to get out and about after getting cabin fever at home.
Apparently, thanks to mum, Joan's cooking, Cheryl has put on a whole stone in weight! The nation breathes a sigh of relief to know the nation's sweetheart is truly out and about again...

Poor Jennifer Aniston

Has ever a woman had to talk about her ovaries etc as much as poor Jennifer Aniston? Ever since Brad Pitt ditched her for the motherhood-crazy, Angelina Jolie, it seems that poor Jen has been questioned about whether she wants children at every interview. And every time she is seen with a man, they're evaluated as a potential father to these hypothetical children.
So recently Jen's indicated that she WILL be a mum, so Jay Leno took her latest promo tour (does anyone really ever ask her about her movies?) to find out what she meant by that. Jen cleared things up by indicating that she wouldn't want to be impregnated by anonymous sperm - she would want to know the father. Well, it seems like the rumours of discontent at the Brangelina camp have died down, so good luck with your hunt, Jennifer!

All change at American Idol?

We all know that Simon Cowell has left his role as judge on the biggest show on US TV - American Idol - after a huge send-off at the end of the last series. Now, Ellen DeGeneres has also resigned after one season, claiming that she was too busy and didn't feel she was a good fit. Now, in a dramatic move, US Magazine is claiming that Cara DioGuardi has been fired from the show.
I know some Celebritree readers loved Cara, so let's hope it doesn't affect their viewing too much!
The rumoured replacements are Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler - so the show is going back to having 3 judges. Makes sense, as far as Celebritree can see...

The Wedding of the Year?

The wedding of the year is happening this weekend. And Katie Price is nowhere in sight! Yes, Chelsea Clinton is marrying her fiancé, Marc Mezvinsky, at Astor Courts in New York State. Seeing Chelsea hailing a cab in NYC today, it looked like the pressure of being a bride was starting to take its toll on her, as she looked pretty tired. Her parents have been playing their part too: apparently, Hillary has been micro-managing the event down to the finest detail, whilst Bill's been on a diet (imposed by his daughter) to ensure he looks his best when he walks his little girl down the aisle. Celebritree supposes the $3m wedding bill will help Bill tighten his belt...

Good luck Chelsea!

Tanorexic?

Christine Bleakley seems to be throwing herself into this WAG malarkey. Or maybe she's just thrown herself into a huge vat of really orange tanning lotion.

As she and Frank stepped out on Wednesday night, he looked like he can't get back to training a day too soon, as living the high life with Christine seems to have left his shirt buttons straining...

Beckhams partying in London

The Beckhams have apparently been staying in London with their good friends, Tana and Gordon Ramsey. Last night the four of them were out to celebrate with Kelly Hoppen, on the occasion of her 51st birthday.
Apparently the do had a Come Dine with Me theme. Victoria and Kelly are apparently working together for Vicky's next showing at New York Fashion Week.

The Priory - you are needed

Celebritree thinks that the Priory should spot a celebrity trend/addiction problem and open up a new wing especially dedicated to people who can't seem to stop pumping their faces full of botox and other dodgy fillers. Clearly anyone who spends their hen do having cosmetic fillers until she has a duck's beak for lips (by her own admission) should be first in queue - Katie Price. Still, judging from the latest pics of Sharon Osbourne, she shouldn't be far behind. What HAVE you let them do to your face, Shazza?!
As if daughter Kelly doesn't have enough to deal with, with her latest heartbreak, without her mother having a spooky smile permanently etched on her slightly scary face...

Nicola McLean - Matchmaker Extraordinaire

Nicola McLean, glamour model, WAG, former I'm a Celeb contestant and professional friend of Peter Andre, has shown great potential as a matchmaker. She has told Now magazine that she would love to set up her mate Pete with Charlotte Church - on the basis that they are both great parents.
Hmm, if life really was that simple, Nicola... After all, Katie Price was voted 'mum of the year' not so long ago...
Btw, 'Katie's' new book is looking like it will be number one in the book charts this week. And people say Britain is dumbing down - how dare they! I mean, people are still buying books...

Another 'Celebrity' Wedding

Former Strictly Come Dancing professional and (very) brief I'm a Celebrity contestant, Camilla Dallerup, today married her fiance, Kevin Sacre (of Hollyoaks fame) in a ceremony in Ibiza. Camilla looked elegant in her dress, and, no doubt, her three bridesmaids were all thrilled to be frocked up in peach taffeta. Still, Celebritree is always glad to see a wedding that isn't hidden from the cameras. The couple met in 2008 on Living TV's The Underdog Show (which Kevin won) and bonded over their shared love of hounds. Celebritree is glad to see that Camilla's got her happy ending after her heartbreak over Brendan Cole - who got his own happy ending just a few weeks ago.

And then there were four...

Rumours are rife that Girls Aloud ARE set to reform, but as a foursome! And guess who's out in the cold - yep, the papers are suggesting that Nadine could be given the elbow. Their publicists deny it, as does Nadine, who says that they are just enjoying time on their own, while they're still young. She says, "everyone wants to do their own thing - Sarah with the acting, or whatever they're doing". Hmm, if you ever are interested in what your former bandmates are doing, Nadine, try picking up a paper or magazine or even reading Celebritree...
On the subject of which, the nation's sweetheart has finally been seen out and about, as she popped down to her local Starbuck's for a coffee. Apparently, she's got two round the clock nurses in the form of mum, Joan, and Derek Hough - although rumours that Dezza and Chezza are engaged are likely to be wide of the mark, in Celebritree's opinion! Still, good to see Cheryl out and about.

I can't sing, I can't dance... Err, and I can't write either...

Katie Price is back on the promo circuit. No, she's not trying to breathe life into her single, which has sunk like a stone - she's now promoting her latest novel. Of course, she's still been asked about her aborted pop career, but has used the opportunity to get a dig in at her ex, saying how happy she is to take criticism - unlike her ex-husband, Pete. So, on to her novel - which, like the rest of her books, was written by a journalist ghost-writer, as Katie doesn't know "how to put a book together" - she comes up with an idea and then the journalist writes it...
Let's hope the book sells better than her single, as Katie needs to pay for her increased security. She and Alex were apparently attacked by a 'hate mob' at the weekend whilst attending a cage fight in Portsmouth. As a result, they have decided to increase their security to avoid any further incidents.

Jesse James moving closer to Sandra?

A court has granted love-rat/apparent Nazi fetishist, Jesse James, full custody of his daughter, Sunny. The judge has granted Jesse permission to move to Texas (where ex-wife, Sandra, is now living). Sunny will stay there with her father and two half-siblings, from another previous relationship of Jesse's, and will return to California to spend time with her mother, Janine Lindemulder.
Rumours are rife that this move is serving to convince Sandra to take Jesse back, although her friends deny this.

Coleen's made it home

Phew! At first Celebritree thought Coleen was travelling super-light, as she made her way from Manchester airport carrying her neat Chanel handbag and clutching a Louis Vuitton make-up bag closely to her (no clear plastic bags in sight for her mascaras, lip-glosses etc.)
Then, Celebritree spotted the two burly chaps charged with steering her luggage trolleys. No sign of Wayne or Kai (so was there luggage transported separately?), but I guess Coleen needed plenty of outfits for her dual location extended holiday in Vegas and Barbados - and a van to get it all home again...

Kerry and Brian reunited

Brian McFadden was pictured dropping his and Kerry's two kids back home with Kezza, after a holiday with the girls in California. Molly and Lily Sue looked pleased to be home and Brian stopped by for a drink and a smoke with his ex-wife. He and Kerry have rarely been pictured together (according to the Daily Mail, this is mainly due to their differences, although Celebritree reckons the fact that they are normally separated by thousands of miles might prove more of an obstacle). Anyway there was no sign of the animosity that has been played out recently via Twitter and Kerry's magazine column. Kerry had some news to share with her girls as whilst they've been away, she's broken up with her latest man, Adam Waldron. Apparently she "never loved him" and he didn't really like all the press attention. So Kerry's decided to stay single for a bit. Hmm, wonder how long that will last...

Gary Cockrill's exciting auto-biography

is in the shops tomorrow (26th July). Called From Coal Dust to Star Dust, Gary lifts the lid on his life, his marriage to handyman other half, Phil, and his close friendship with Katie Price (Celebritree assumes this takes up a larger chunk of the book). He tells how Phil took Katie into a 'dark room' in a Spanish club and also reveals how he and Phil went to kinky club in London with Alex and Katie. She was disguised in the clobber shown - nobody recognised her! Err - did these people not have eyes? Or was it just another (very) dark room?
He also tells how Katie is always offering to have a kid for Gary and Phil. Oh well, Katie, if Alex doesn't Reidonate you any time soon, there's always the GBFs...

Girls Aloud - no reunion soon

Well, it seems that much longed for reunion of Girls Aloud isn't on the cards any time soon. Fresh from telling the world that she has only slept with two boyfriends, blabbermouth, Kimberley Walsh, has now shared with the media that the girls are all enjoying their own projects so much that they have decided to extend the break until at least March or April next year. (Hmm, some girls might be enjoying projects, whilst others must just be enjoying twiddling their thumbs...)
Meanwhile, Cheryl has told Ashley to stay away from her sick bed. Hmm, from his recent holiday snaps, Ash didn't look like he was in a hurry to tend to any poorly ex...

Ginger goes Posh

No sign of the fight from their holiday in St Tropez, as Geri Halliwell and her beau, Henry Beckwith, enjoyed the Cartier Polo Tournament, with fellow spectators such as Prince Charles. Geri poured herself into a blue bandage dress for the occasion, and was all smiles.
Big handbag for the polo, Geri!
Rumour has it that the Spice Girls may be reuniting for a film sequel to Spice World: the movie. They've allegedly roped in the brains behind Mamma Mia! and will combine a stage show and film. Let's hope they've all been working on their acting skills since the last movie...

Everybody needs good neighbours

Sophie Dahl and her husband, Jamie Cullum, have run into problems at their new marital home in Great Missenden, where Sophie's author grandfather, Roald Dahl, lived for many years. Despite Sophie giving generous donations to the local Roald Dahl museum, it seems it is not enough to satisfy the local residents' association. Sophie and Jamie are keen to ensure that they have privacy so want to retain the high fencing that they installed to create a barrier around their building work. However, the neighbours have declared it an eyesore, and so the couple have to take it down to a more reasonable height of 4' 6". Well, at least Jamie might be afforded some privacy, even if Sophie isn't...

Peaches adds to her collection

Peaches Geldof has been keeping relatively quiet after those lovely pics of her on the internet. She has just put in the odd appearance at the occasional party - this time with her boyfriend, Eli Roth, at a do in San Diego. She was looking pretty respectable (for Peaches) in a summer frock, until the cameras panned in on her latest additions to her tattoo collection - an upside down crucifix on her back and the letters 'FML' on her finger. She is clearly proud of this latter tattoo as she has tweeted this pic of it herself, describing this latest addition as "hilarious". Rumour has it that it stands for "F*** My Life". Charming, her father must be so proud. Although Celebritree wonders if it is just a dyslexic tribute to Eighties' pop-duo, Mel & Kim, and their hit, 'FLM' (which stood for Fun, Love and Money - far more appropriate, surely).

Yet Another Celeb Couple Has Secret Wedding

Actor, Orlando Bloom, has married his fiancée, Miranda Kerr, in a secret ceremony, believed to have been in Los Angeles yesterday. The couple enjoyed a very short engagement of just about a month. Of course, Celebritree is very pleased for them that they managed to have a civilised wedding (presumably) and not some fiasco surrounded by the press - although a bit sad to find that it seems even their families may have missed out. But, please celebs - a photo should be released at least! We NEED to see the wedding dress! The couple are now enjoying their honeymoon, amidst rumours that Miranda is expecting their first child.

Ruby Cole starts her modelling career young

Ruby is gearing up for a life of modeldom and WAGdom, no doubt, as she hits her first photo shoot aged just 4 months. Mum, Carly, is in tow in the advertising campaign for Little Swimmers nappies. No doubt, she'll soon be making her first visit to Cricket, now that the family are moving up north following Daddy Joe's transfer from Chelsea to Liverpool.

Suri makes friends

Celebritree can't remember the last time Suri Cruise was seen with someone of her own age. So it's a refreshing change to find that Suri has befriended the actress playing Caroline Kennedy. It certainly seems more normal than her trying to convince Cameron Diaz to hand over a dress that Suri took a fancy to. Surprising, really, that TomKat hasn't yet had Suri in front of the camera - but Katie's convinced that she can do whatever she wants and she'll be amazing. Of course.

Katie cancels G-A-Y appearance

Katie Price has decided to cancel her appearance singing at G-A-Y, "due to recent events" (presumably nobody liking her record, except, of course, her kids, and maybe husband). Still, Katie loves to keep busy as she's been telling folks how much she loves throwing dinner parties. Apparently she doesn't dress up, just invites a few non-famous friends (is she seriously implying that Michelle Heaton is not famous? Or does her bridesmaid just not get invited to dinner parties?) and they all eat loads then fall asleep in the cinema room, or over a game of Balderdash. Sounds a hoot, oh - and loving the phone cover, Katie...

Beckham update

David and the family Beckham have apparently been invited to Lego's headquarters in Denmark, following his revelation on the Jonathan Ross show that he loves the toy and spent hours in a hotel in Italy trying to build the Lego Taj Mahal. Apparently sales of that kit have risen by over 660% in one day, afer this news.

He has also revealed that Victoria and his mum, Sandra, are united in wanting him to put an end to his tattoo obsession, with neither wanting him to add any more to his collection.

Celebritree has to agree - concentrate on the Lego, David! You won't regret that later...

Katie and Kerry - the Kat-fight continues...

As the magazine column merry-go-round continues, Kerry has commented on Katie's strange, surgically enhanced pout - claiming that she now looks like "a better looking version of Pete Burns" (well, could be worse, Katie - at least someone looks stranger than you!)

Alex has, of course, said, in his own column that Kerry should mind her own beeswax, but it seems Katie is considering taking things a step further and considering legal action. This has transpired as it seems that, since sharing the same agent, Kerry has been popping round to Peter Andre's with her kids and boyf in tow, to have barbecues. Katie doesn't want Kerry anywhere near Harvey, Junior and Princess, so is keen to put a stop to their cosy garden parties. Can Kerry really face another lawsuit with two custody battles in the pipeline?

Also, Katie has claimed that although her kids don't like her trout pout - and laugh at her "beak", they have been enjoying her single (well, I guess someone had to...) Junior and Princess have been bopping around to it, apparently. Although, they are not exactly paragons of great taste: in Pete's own magazine column, he tells how Vanessa Feltz had been round for one of his barbecues (hmm, can Celebritree can get an invite? Seems like everyone else can!) and Junior and Princess are now obsessed with her...

Meanwhile, Alex is apparently considering a vegetarian diet (or at least giving up the bacon), so enamoured is he of their pet micro-pig.

Chezza Health Update

So, it seems the nation's sweetheart® may be on the mend, as she's texting Simon Cowell, giving him grief and letting him know how desperate she is to return to work. Maybe she's getting a little antsy at all the attention Nicole Scherzinger is getting in her place...

Something she's not so keen to deal with, apparently, are her divorce papers. Mum, Joan, is going out of her mind as she's desperate that Cheryl deal with the paperwork so that they can all get Ashley out of their lives for good. Cheryl, though, finds it all too stressful to deal with right now. Another thing worrying poor Chezza is her voice - which she has lost. Despite reassurances from doctors, Cheryl fears she may never perform again... (hmm, Nadine, maybe that gives you chance to steal her thunder and get your album out!)

Someone buy Britney a brush!

Britney Spears received some good news when the LAPD revealed that they had dropped their investigation into accusations of child abuse against the star. She went out on a shopping trip in Sherman Oaks, California - let's hope she was looking to buy a brush in celebration!

Chanelle has her baby

Chanelle has done what every self-respecting celeb does these days and announced her big news via Twitter. Describing it as "the happiest day" of her life, she announced the birth of her baby boy. He was born yesterday at 6am.

Meanwhile, ex-boyf, Jack Tweed, has revealed that Chanelle issued him with an ultimatum - to choose between her and partying. He's not yet ready to settle down, so he chose the parties! He's still anxious that Jeff Brazier let him back into the lives of Jade's children, but to no avail, he claims.

Suri set for stardom?

How could the daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise be anything other than a star? Well, the couple are apparently taking no risks, with Suri already being prepped for stardom with singing, dancing and acting lessons. It seems she likes nothing more than putting on her own shows for the family, with Tom making sure she says her lines "with real feeling". Her sister, Isabella, helps her make the tickets for these great events - hmm, that must be a lot of fun...

Katie the Flopstar - the results

Oh dear, Katie's assault on the charts peaked at no 61 - well outside the top 40, after selling a grand total of 2,701 copies. It seems that nothing worked for Katie in her desperate attempt to flog her record. Even the sympathy vote failed, after bessie mate/hairdresser/make up artist/concrete applier, Gary Cockrill told the media all about when Katie was raped. How was this news? She'd told us this before and he didn't reveal anything new (e.g. who the perpetrator was), other than that he'd never seen Katie look so pale (err, did she scrub off the fake tan then?)
Anyway, Katie attempted to console herself with a game of polo. Apparently Prince Harry was there too but Celebritree couldn't find any pics of the two of them together, so presumably, he gave her a wide berth...

Kerry plays badminton

Kezza is enjoying a holiday showing off her bikini bootcamp body in - a bikini. She's in Marbella with boyfriend, Adam Waldron. No sign of her children so guess their fathers must be on duty back home. Interestingly, Kerry decided to accessorise her bikini with a pair of slippers, to enjoy a game of badminton with her boyfriend.
Back home, in the constant war of words that exists between Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kerry Katona in their various magazine columns (do they have anything to talk about other than to slag each other off?), Alex has said how hurtful he found Kerry's comments that his marriage to Katie wouldn't last.

It's a nice day for a WAG wedding

Saturday was a big day for footballers - now the World Cup is over, they can concentrate on the important things in life - like getting married. First up is Sol Campbell, who married Fiona Barratt in Corbridge, near Newcastle. Attendees included Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole (who turned up with no +1, so lock up your daughters Geordies!) Apparently Ashley was jeered by local onlookers - no doubt partly from the frustration of England's performance and partly from his ill treatment of local girl, Chezza. Sol met Fiona through his ex-girlfriend, Kelly Hoppen - Fiona worked for Kelly in her interior design business and ended up running off with her boyfriend. It's safe to say that Kelly wasn't in attendance...
Elsewhere, Dutch star, Wesley Sneijder married Dutch TV presenter, Yolanthe Cabau van Kasbergen, in Tuscany. Their relationship came out into the open when they were photographed making out in an underground car park. Wes was already married (his 4 year old son by his first marriage was in attendance yesterday) and Yolanthe was living with a major Dutch pop star. This one looked like a very tasteful affair, with Yolanthe wearing a dress that Katie P would probably kill for, and Wes wearing a shiny blue suit. Nice.

Gwyneth enjoys the Hamptons - for now

Gwyneth Paltrow is enjoying some chill-out time with children, Apple and Moses, at their Hamptons home. No sign of Daddy, Chris Martin, though. This year's holiday break is proving slightly more complicated, as rumours are flying around that Gwyneth has had a major falling out with her old pal, Madonna, who has a home nearby. Thankfully, Madge is busy working on her new movie about Wallis Simpson in London at the mo, but should she make her way out to her Hamptons home, insiders expect things to be awkward: the close-knit Hamptons summer community will make it difficult for the warring pair to avoid each other....

Carrie Fisher's Wedding Dress

Phew! Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher did release photos of their wedding after all. Celebritree supposes that People Magazine paid a handsome sum for these. Hmm, feel the "beautiful Chantilly lace dress" was over-egged somewhat. It's just blah.

The Rooney Holiday Continues

Coleen and Wayne have torn themselves away from their £5million Barbados pad, and baby Kai, to head to the Wynn hotel at Vegas for some quality couple time together. Kai has been left with family in Barbados, whilst his parents cavort around the hotel pool, presumably celebrating Wayne's new £36.4million deal with Manchester United. This reward comes on the back of the release of England boss, Fabio Capello's ratings for his players' performances at the World Cup. Amazingly, Wayne managed to score lower than Emile Heskey...

Cheryl home and ready for visitors

Good news readers! Cheryl Cole has finally left hospital and is continuing her recuperation at her Hurtmore home. Mother, Joan, is keeping a vigil by her bedside and guarding her daughter to ensure she keeps to her doctors' advice (Chezza is facing an alcohol and sex ban, allegedly) and to protect her from any unwanted visitors...
Talking of which, Ashley is back home in Blighty after his lads' holiday in the US. It seems Derek is still hanging around, overcome with guilt that he is to blame for the malaria, whilst Will.i.am has been showering Cheryl with bouquets of flowers and is said to be planning a trip over to visit.
Derek's Dancing with the Stars partner, Nicole Scherzinger, has extended her stay on X Factor to cover for Cheryl and Dannii's absences, although apparently Cheryl is keen that her Girls Aloud mate, Kimberly Walsh, should keep her judge's seat warm until she's fully recovered.
Talking of Girls Aloud, Joan is keen for her daughter to catch up with her bandmates. However, it seems unlikely that Nadine is going to be hot on the heels of Ashley and Will over the Atlantic. Apparently the first Nadine knew of her bandmate's brush with death was when fans informed her via Twitter (Celebritree wonders is anyone ever picks up the phone any more, or even emails, does everything just get announced via Twitter?), although, obviously she's very concerned, as her granddad had it. So, can't see a Girls Aloud reunion on the horizon any time soon, especially with Cheryl's solo album release postponed (it was scheduled for October), which makes Celebritree wonder - where is Nadine's long-promised solo effort?

Katie continues her 'promo' tour

Katie Price has been continuing her promo tour for her new single, although, obviously readers, this is just a hobby for her and so she's really not interested in chart success as she knows she can't sing and she didn't write or produce the song and it's not like she needs a record contract and it's not her main job... Hmm, does the lady protest too much?
Well, today Katie added to her list of lack of talents by proving on GMTV that not only can she not mime very well, but she isn't great at dancing either. And what IS with that hair?
Katie has also told The Sun that she feels her ex husband, Pete (who she seems to be contractually obliged to mention in every interview) is really milking their divorce. Hmm, try rearranging these words into a well known phrase Katie: Pot, Black, The, Kettle Calling, The.
Other news from Katie - she and Alex have attempted to partially satisfy their parenting skills by adopting a pet micro pig. Celebritree can just imagine what a hit that will be with Harvey and the other kids...

Mel's life just keeps getting worse

Life seems to be on a fast-track to disaster for Mel Gibson at the moment as he continues his battle with the mother of his baby daughter, Oksana Grigorieva. Oksana has released more recordings that seem to prove Mel had hit her, whilst she was holding their baby daughter. These are being backed up by photos she has given to the court, that apparently show her with chipped tooth and their daughter with a bruise on her chin after Mel is alleged to have lashed out at them.
It seems that Mel is really the bad guy in this story. And yet, his ex-wife, Robyn, who filed for divorce after 30 years back in April 2009, is speaking out in defence of Mel, saying that he never displayed any threatening behaviour to her or their children in all the year she has known him. Interestingly too, the court still hasn't taken steps to changing Mel's current access to his baby daughter. Celebritree feels this one could keep on running...

Poor Posh

Well, you have to feel sorry for poor Victoria Beckham. After suffering from the hangover from hell after her anniversary celebrations, she is still dealing with the after effects of her partying, as her cold sore lingers. Victoria did her best to hide the evidence as she hit the shops for the best cure she knows - a bit of retail therapy. And she is, allegedly, now £3K poorer, as she blew some serious cash on some fancy undies. That will distract David...

Suri travels back in time

Are there no end to Suri's talents? Here she is, having travelled back in time to the Camelot years... Of course, it's mum Katie, who is playing the part of Jackie O, in a new TV series. No doubt, Suri was entertaining the entire crew - Tom has told on his current promo tour how Suri entertained the Knight & Day folk, making them all giggle with her antics as she took over the director's chair and made up her own scenes. No, there really is no end to Suri's talents...

Becks joins Wossy for his final farewell

Good to see that David is getting some more wear out of that
World Cup suit, after the short stay in South Africa. He appears on Jonathan Ross's final show tomorrow night. Apparently he will reveal to Wossy that his wife is still listed as 'Posh' in his mobile, that he loves making babies, hoovering and general housework (a nation swoons).

Strictly Update

So, this season's Strictly is looking to be a cracker, despite the apparent loss of the lovely Matthew Cutler as a partner to a celeb. Brucie is going to be stepping back a little as he can't cope with the heavy schedule of two shows per week, so will be gracing our screens on Saturdays only. No news on whether Tess will manage alone on Sunday or bring in an alternative (Claudia gets Celebritree's vote - she's great and related to royalty, to boot now!)

Contestants will allegedly include Patsy Kensit, Gavin Henson (nothing like a bit of a tango to help you through a divorce, Pats and Gav - just ask Jo Wood), Felicity Kendall and, dark horse, Ann Widdecombe. There are rumours that instead of a flat fee, this year celebs will be paid according to the number of shows they appear in - thereby heating up the competition. Bring it on!

Alex Reid pole dancing

Jeez. So the much anticipated Katie & Alex: For Better, for Worse proved everything Celebritree had anticipated. We saw the 'happy' couple plan their wedding, carefully negotiating each and every detail (for careful negotiation, read, argued about it for a bit, until Alex backed down and claimed he just wanted Katie to be happy... over and over and over again...). We saw their hen and stag events (with the usual suspects maruading at Katie's do and Alex getting round Katie's 'no strippers' rule by removing his own clothes and taking to a pole himself); we saw them trying on their wedding regalia (and who knew you needed to be stripped down to nowt to be measured for a pair of trousers?); we saw Alex's parents and brother looking like they wondered how the hell they had managed to find themselves in the midst of this charade and Katie's longsuffering mum trying to put a lid on her daughter's crazy ideas. And Katie pointing out to her mum that "you only get married once". Err, well Katie, with Pete and a quickie in Vegas behind you, Celebritree makes that you third wedding. And counting....

Another Secret Celeb Wedding

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have married in a secret ceremony at a friend's place in the Bahamas, with just family in attendance. Another 'no photos' extravaganza. Grrr. The bride apparently wore a Galliano dress. The couple met back in 1992 on a film set and got together in 2007 whilst filming Vicky Cristina Barcelona (good choice for Pen - she bagged an Oscar and a hubby on the back of that film). Unlike Pen's previous relationships with Tom Cruise and Matthew McConnaughey, she has managed to play this one out in private.
¡Felicidades!
