Those Pesky Kids

Celebritree has always considered George Clooney to be a pretty relaxed kind of guy. However, seems he might be a little less laid back than I had thought or those Jolie-Pitt kids are totally out of control, for it seems George has banned the kids of his good friends, Brangelina, from coming to his Italian home, as it seems they wreck the joint when they are there.
Perhaps George should invite TomKat's lovely Suri round so that she can give those crazy kids some lessons in decorum!

Does Katie have the X Factor?

Although it's still not entirely clear whether the American producers of the US X Factor can understand a word that Geordie, Cheryl Cole, is saying (and therefore may be considering not giving her a place on the judging panel, instead favouring Katy Perry or Nicole Scherzinger), this hasn't prevented rumours about who is in line to replace Chezza on the UK version of the show. It seems ITV are desperate to keep Simon Cowell in place, and he recently signed a contract committing himself to the 2011 show at least, so Simon will be bouncing backwards and forwards across the Atlantic. When asked who he would like to have in the judging line up alongside him, Simon surprised us all by suggesting Katie Price! Now, Katie has previously suggested that she would love this gig, so this could be her big chance to turn public opinion round. Hmmm.
Celebritree has no doubt that Katie has the quick mind to come up with some acerbic put-downs for the wannabe pop stars, but considering she thought it a good idea to launch a singing career herself (despite a distinct lack of tunefulness), Celebritree is not sure that she's really in a position to judge who has the singing capability to make it to the top.
Still, one thing is for sure, can't see Katie and Dannii hitting it off, so expect lots more fireworks next year!
In other Katie news, it seems that she bought a secret country pad seven months ago, which her step-dad has been doing up, so even though Alex is refusing to move out of their marital home, Katie and her kids do have other housing options. Alex doesn't seem to have got the message and still isn't keen on the whole divorce idea, although some sources are now saying that he will accept the split on condition Katie buys him a flat. Presumably he's thinking luxury bachelor pad overlooking the Thames, rather than some studio in the suburbs...
And now it seems Alex may have had an accident after an ambulance was called out to their home whilst Alex as left home alone...

Emma is engaged

Emma Bunton announced last night during the Dancing on Ice ad break that she and long-term love, Jade, have got engaged. On the return from the ad break, Emma was showing off her rock, accompanied by the gushing trilling of Holly Willoughby.
Emma and Jade are expecting their second child this spring, and Emma will doubtless be kept busy in the coming months as she joins an ever growing list of celebs to be planning their wedding.

Repeat appearance

In these hard and environmentally friendly times, it has at last become acceptable to be seen in the same item of clothing more than once (unless you are Victoria Beckham). Kate Middleton has often been seen at weddings reaccessorising outfits that have had previous outings and even the Queen has been known to bring out a previously seen hat or dress.
Still Celebritree really didn't expect Suri Cruise to pick up on this trend and be seen in the same distinctive faux cur coat twice in quick succession. Having debuted her new coat at a petting zoo, it made another appearance on a Vancouver shopping trip this weekend. Note, despite the chilly Canadian weather, Suri still hasn't chosen to team the coat with a pair of opaque tights, preferring to brave the cold in bare legs...

Cheryl contemplates a new start

As Cheryl contemplates her new start in the US, it seems she has been having some heart to hearts with new love, Derek Hough. And, from press reports, it is likely that poor Derek won't like what she's had to say. It's already been reported that Ma Tweedy didn't like Derek's choice of condo for her precious daughter, and didn't consider it safe enough. So now Cheryl is looking for her own place for her and her mum, apparently keen to be close to mentor, Simon Cowell. She has also told Derek in no uncertain terms that she doesn't plan on marrying him - the scars from her marriage to Ashley apparently run too deep. Still, she is feeling broody and would like to start a family, which won't sit well with Derek, who was brought up a Mormon, so out of wedlock kids aren't likely to be on his agenda.
Still, Dezza is still keen to show his dedication to Cheryl, as he is apparently considering giving up his role on Dancing with the Stars - he has now won three times and is reigning champion, so is said to be looking for new challenges (well, it doesn't come more challenging than keeping Ma Tweedy happy) and is anxious to be there for Cheryl as she takes on her big move.
Cheryl will probably be feeling a bit chlaustraphobic at that - her vision for breaking the US doesn't involve being known as someone's girlfriend. She apparently wants to be seen as a "strong single woman" with a very scary mother, presumably...

Things are getting serious

Amidst the wreckage of celeb relationships so far this year, it is nice to see a smile on Peter Andre's face. Despite getting knocked out in the opening round of Dancing On Ice, his new love, Elen Rivas, is all smiles too, as she celebrated her 36th birthday with friends, introducing them to her new man for the first time. Pete picked her up from her girlie lunch, the pair dined at C London in Mayfair in the evening, before heading off to a secret hotel/spa location - Pete's surprise treat for his new lady...

Ashley back on his own

Despite claiming at the start of their relationship, just 5 weeks ago, that she hoped he was "the one" and rumours that she had already moved her stuff into Cheryl's empty wardrobes, it seems it's all over for Kayla Collins and Ashley Cole. They were apparently heard having a fierce row after attending a P Diddy party together.
Still, clearly Kayla is not one to let the grass grow under her feet and seems to have moved on already, as she was seen leaving Deuces nightclub in Essex last night with its owner, The Only Way is Essex star/love rat, Mark Wright. Whether it was the right decision remains to be seen, as it seems he showed her the glamour of the local McDonald's on their way home, and Kayla is feeling somewhat the worse for wear this morning.
Celebritree is left wondering why Mark, who probably had the pick of the women in his club, chose to go home with someone wearing leggings that look as though they were left over from a Laura Ashley sale circa 1985...
Still, Ashley, Kerry Katona and Katie Price are both available, in case you're feeling lonely....

Lock up your sons...

Kerry Katona has declared that her skating partner, Dan, has restored her faith in men and she's ready to marry again. Phew! That didn't take long, did it? However, despite rumours of romance with fellow Dancing on Ice contestant, Jeff Brazier, Kerry says that the only men in her life right now are Dan and her son.
Jeff has been quick to deny the rumours too, saying he would not want to romance anyone in the public eye again, as he wants to protect his sons' privacy. He did express his admiration for Kerry as she tries to get her life back on track, though says he doesn't fancy her.
Meanwhile, Kerry is apparently to be cited in the divorce papers of her personal trainer, Kevin Green. His wife has gone on record to the papers saying that Kerry had an affair with her husband and labelling her a marriage wrecker...
Let's hope Kerry can keep her mind on the skating tonight!

Who says pregnant women can't have fun?

Victoria and David were seen leaving Nobu in London on Thursday night. Victoria looked as though something at the restaurant had triggered pregnancy nausea, as she looked somewhat pale and below par. Celebritree reckons she would have been better off wearing something in spiritual yellow - better for her skin tone than the black gothic look she was sporting.
Still, a closer look at David's neck reveals that perhaps Victoria had decided to take a few love bites out of her husband...
Although she might not be looking her best right now, Victoria still has plenty going on. She and David are in the UK until he has to return to LA for pre-season training with the Galaxy on 10th February. Meanwhile, Victoria will be heading to NYC for Fashion Week, where she will show her latest collection - Celebritree expects something slightly less structured and more flowing to cover up pregnancy bumps...
The Beckhams have quashed rumours that they have used genetics to select a female offspring this time, saying they don't intend to find out the sex of their baby until its birth. Still, they have made plans for Godparents - Gordon and Tana Ramsey are apparently in line to do the honours.
Meanwhile, Kate Beckinsale and Eva Longoria are busily planning a lavish baby shower for Victoria when she returns to LA. Err, what does one buy the Beckhams and their unborn offspring?

Katie targeting polo players?

Having tried footballers (Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham), pop stars (Gareth Gates, Dane Bowers, Peter Andre), Gladiators (Ace) and now cross-dressing cage fighters, Katie seems to have decided to move upmarket, as she was spotted out partying until the early hours in Klosters this morning, with a bunch of polo players. Onlookers described her as "a man-eater" with "raunchy dance moves" as she allegedly threw herself at any polo player in sight. The DJ at the event was under strict instructions not to play any Peter Andre tracks - amazingly, several people actually requested Mysterious Girl, apparently. Celebritree is surprised the DJ even had it in his record bag.
Katie's equestrian range is apparently the sponsor of the big snow polo event taking place in Klosters at the moment - hence her need to rent a £40,000/week 10 bedroom chalet. Rumour has it that the clientele turned slightly downmarket at the news of her involvement - normally Prince Charles and Jack Kidd would be attendees but seem to have given it a miss this year.
Joining Katie in her huge holiday abode are her sister and long-suffering mum, who seem to have been brought along on baby sitting duties for Harvey and Princess. No sign of Junior though, so Celebritree assumes he has chosen to hide out with his dad, rather than being on hand whilst his mum makes a show of herself.
Poor old Alex Reid has, of course, also been left behind. He has been spotted back at their marital home, despite Katie allegedly changing the locks and upgrading security, following the news of her split. Poor, naive Alex is still wearing his wedding ring, as he still hopes things might work out, that he also says he feels like an abandoned puppy.
Katie's statement announcing the end of her marriage and the fact that it had all been a big mistake (err, note mistake and NOT publicity stunt), seems to have been uttered without a hint of irony. Katie told the media that Alex was no longer the man she had married and had become a "fame-obsessed monster". Hmm, Katie, rearrange these words into a well known saying: KETTLE, CALLING, BLACK, POT...

David settles back into London life

David Beckham doesn't seem to be able to stop smiling at the moment. He has been spotted out training with Tottenham Hotspur this week, and then enjoying a few pints down the pub with some of his team mates. However, his contract with LA Galaxy means he won't actually be able to play today when Tottenham face his former club, Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Victoria still hasn't been showing off much of a baby bump, although she has been looking a little tired as she keeps herself busy preparing for New York fashion week, and searching for a property in NYC so she can more comfortably split her time between LA, NYC and London. Still no news on the due date, but Celebritree reckons it will probably be a July baby.
If Victoria is feeling a little tired and drawn, maybe that would explain rumours of her falling out with her fellow Spice Girls. Mel B is supposedly in a mood with Victoria after she wanted to "borrow" some dresses from her friend's collection for her reality show, It's a Scary World. Apparently Victoria refused to lend her any, claiming that the sample sizes wouldn't fit curvy Mel. A source defended Victoria, claiming that Mel is known for borrowing stuff that she never returns.
Now it seems that Victoria and Geri have exchanged cross words - or rather not. Apparently Geri is keen to get her designer friend's advice for her new swimwear collection for Next. Victoria considers this rather beneath her own status and doesn't appreciate Geri's persistent calls, claiming that they are now "both designers" and so has started to ignore her voicemails and texts.
Be careful, Victoria, or you might have to chum up with felllow girl band outcast, Nadine Coyle!

Chezza and Dezza - the holiday is over

Cheryl and Derek are now back from their new year holiday in South Africa. They flew back in style, with the nation's sweetheart now considered worthy of a visit to the Windsor lounge at Heathrow airport. This exclusive area is normally reserved for the PM, royal family and any visiting royals, Presidents and the Beckhams, but Cheryl enjoyed the privileges offered for just £3,000.
The holiday seemed to be a resounding success (and hopefully no mosquito bites this time) with the pair keeping to themselves apart from the Hogmanay party. Instead they preferred to have nights in watching some of Cheryl's favourite DVDs - including Marley & Me and Dirty Dancing. The only problems on their holiday seem to have been Cheryl and Ashley's text exchanges, and the fact that Derek is a bit of a messy pup, whilst Cheryl is said to be verging on OCD. Still, good to know that they have oral hygiene in common: apparently they are both obsessed with brushing their teeth...
Meanwhile, despite the texting, Ashley does seem to have moved on. Barely had Cheryl moved out of Hurtmore House, before Ash had moved I'm a Celeb star and former Playboy bunny, Kayla Collins, in!

Suri helps Katie choose some new shoes

Katie Holmes was shopping for shoes this week in Vancouver, with daughter Suri on hand to help her pick. Apparently Suri tried on every pair of shoes that her mum showed an interest in, as well as picking out any that took her fancy, and paraded around in them. Any that didn't make the Suri glamour grade were hidden away (so Celebritree is guessing that Katie didn't wind up with a pair of sensible loafers) and it looks like these strappy gold sandals were Suri's faves...

Bride Wars

We all know that there is no love lost between Nadine Coyle and the other members of the band formally known as Girls Aloud. Now, Nads has been snubbed again as Sarah Harding prepares for her big engagement party at Mahiki. Apparently Nadine has been left off the guest list for the Treasure Island themed night.
Still, apparently Nadine is keen for revenge. She was (allegedly) hoping that a big celeb wedding would revitalise her flagging solo career, and is supposedly not keen on the fact that another GA member is threatening to steal a bit of her limelight. So, the plan is for a huge bash, to ensure her wedding tops any others that might be coming up. Mind you, Nadine, you need to tread carefully - if you want that 7 figure magazine deal, you had better make sure you've still got some celeb friends to invite!

Suri takes fashion tips from Victoria Beckham

Now Suri Cruise is normally known as a fashion leader - after all, where she goes, her mother, Katie Holmes, dares to follow. This week, Suri visited her mum on the set of her new movie, Jack & Jill, and, for unknown reasons (other than perhaps cute photo opportunities), a petting zoo was thrown into the mix. Suri seemed to have a whale of a time and can be seen with sheep, rabbits etc. However, Celebritree couldn't help but notice that she was following fashion icon, Victoria Beckham (who last week visited a safari park in a (hopefully) fake fur coat). However, Celebritree was more than a little concerned about Suri's apparent paradox dressing: surely if it's cold enough for fur, her bare legs must be feeling ever so chilly..?
