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...

Has Busy Bee Brian taken a Bashing?

Errr, actually, no. It's apparently just make up as Brian has decided to resurrect his singing career and has been working on the video with girlfriend, Delta Goodrem. Apparently this offering is called Mistakes and is about a disastrous relationship. Anyone in mind, Bri?
Still, he's keeping his hand in with all the talent show judging malarkey, as he's apparently set to appear with Delta in The X Factor as the couple help Louis work with his chosen contestants. It seems Dannii and Cheryl are letting their hearts rule their choices: Kylie's going to be giving Dannii a helping hand, whilst Chezza has enlisted Derek.
Meanwhile, Simon Cowell has apparently ditched poor, faithful Sinitta in favour of Kelly Rowland (honestly, I bet Kelly could never manage to sing Toy Boy with a straigh face - what is he thinking?).

Welcome to the World Ethan Edward Smith!

Dannii Minogue gave birth to a son, Ethan Edward, at hospital in Melbourne, after she was forced to abandon the planned home birth on medical advice. Boyfriend, Kris Smith, was by her side throughout. Of course, the news was announced via the ultimate celeb announcing service, Twitter...
Dannii said just last week how much she was looking forward to getting back to work with the X Factor auditions and catching up with her fellow judges, but for now the family are staying at their home in Melbourne, with much of Kris's work in Australia.
Auntie Kylie is due to visit soon, although she is currently on a promo tour of her new album.

Kylie riding high

Well, certain Celebritree followers will be pleased to hear that Cheryl's "nation's sweetheart" moniker may have been attributed a little prematurely. A Millward Brown survey has revealed that the nation's most powerful UK celebrity is honorary Brit, Kylie Minogue, beating Chezza into second place and Beckham into third.

Meanwhile, rumours have it that Simon's search for a replacement for Dannii could be over as Kylie may have agreed to step into her baby sister's shoes as stand-in whilst Dannii is down under giving birth. The battle for the nation's hearts will then be played out in full on a Saturday night...
