Kerry Katona on This Morning

Just been watching Kerry Katona on This Morning and as soon as she started to talk I though "oh here we go again." She was slurring so much and I just knew that the internet, magazines etc would be full of comments about how she is on drugs or drunk. Phillip Schofield actually asked her about this because the producers were asking him if she was ok. She says that it is due to her medication but already Ive read comments from people on another site which say she is defeinelt on something. Well maybe she is. I am not a doctor and do not know what medication she is on and what the side effects are but maybe that is the cause. I can see why people would think she was drunk but I do not like it when people simply assume something and do not look at the bigger picture.

Madonna, Guy Divorce Confirmed

Madonna's spokesperson Liz Rosenburg has confirmed that the singer and her director husband, Guy Ritchie are to divorce. In a joint statement released on behalf of the couple she said;

"Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after seven-and a half- years of marriage, their representatives confirmed today. They have both requested that the media maintain respect for the family at this difficult time."

Rumours of the breakup have been going around for awhile now with sources claiming that Madonna wanted to wait til the end of her Sticky and Sweet tour in November before making any announcements. That date has apparantley been bought forward to finalise the divorce before Christmas.

Gordon Smart, The Sun newspaper's showbiz editor told Sky News that the couple have been trying for months to make the marrigae work but they have had so many arguments, particularly over the last few weeks, that it has come to the stage where they have decided to finish with the pretence.

It is thought that the divorce will not get nasty as the one between Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills did. Their wedding was a private affair and not covered in magazines like OK or Hello.

When the couple married in 2000 they are thought to have signed a pre-nuptial agreement and legal expers predict that Ritchoe could could walk away with up to £50 million.

5ft 10 in, size 12 but Too Fat?!

The face of Wonderbra has resigned after being told she is too fat. Katie Green, 20 was discovered by The Daily Express but she says that she was pressured into losing weight and ordered to take a gruelling exercise programme. This is despite the fact that she was chosen to star in Wonderbra's "real women" advertising campaign.

Premier Model Management told Katie that she must lose two stone. Katie is 5ft 10 inches tall, weighs 10st 5Ibs and is a size 10. This gives her a BMI of 20.5 which is idea. A loss of two stone would bring her BMI down to 16.5 which is underweight.

She says "I was told, most of our girls are size 8. We need you to tone up. I couldnt beleive it. I said "my curves got me the Wonderbra job but now you're saying Im too fat." They told me to stop eating carbohydrates after 4pm and train in the gym everyday. But Im 5ft 10in and I would have been a bag of bones if I had gone down to a size 10."

What a load of crap! It sends out such a dangerous message to young girls out there. In no way is she fat. Asking someone of that height to get down to such low BMI is just stupid and dangerous.

The Pride of Britain

Tonight I watched The pride of Britain Awards. An awards ceremony in which normal, everyday people who have done something brave, fought a disease, helped someone etc are rewarded. Im sure for a lot of them, especially the children, sitting amongst all the celebrities would have been so much fun. I was especially impressed with a little boy who had jumped on a man's back when he stabbed his Mam, thus saving his family but what tpuched my heart was how, when Leon Jackson, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue presented him with his award, he said how his sister loved Leon and encouraged her to get on the stage to meet him. I felt that it was such a nice thing to do when this was "his moment."

Jude Law to Play Watson

Jude Law is to play Dr Watson in Guy Ritchies' re-working of Sherlock Holmes. Robert Downley Jr plays the lead role and other cast members include Rachel McAdams (Mean Girls, The Notebook, Red Eye) as Irene Adler, Mark Strong (Revolver, Stardust) as Blackwood and Kelly Reilley (Eden Lake, Me and Orson Welles) as Mary.

Being a Jason Statham fan I am disappointed that there is not a role for him in this but I am looking forward to it anyway.

At a press conference, Ritche and producer Joel Silver revealed that the movie will ve shot for three months at various locations in London, including St Paul's cathedral and Freemason's Hall.

He said "I have a few tricks up my sleeve. It wont be a traditional Guy Ritchie thing, it will be a new Guy Ritchie thing."

He also revealed that it will have the biggest budget he as worked with and will be an adventure movie. He did however refuse to say if Holmes and Watson will wear the traditional tweed and deerstalkers.

The film is set to be released Octobr 2009

Need Some Fashion Advice

Im a member of the Labour Party (dont hold it against me!) and Im going to a US Election night party on Nov 4th at St James Park, Newcastle but got no idea what to wear. I wanna make an effort but dont wanna look too informal. Any ideas?

Sick Website Taking on Bets on When Jade Goody Will Die

A website has been setup in which people can bet on when Jade Goody will die. The winner will win a iPhone 3G. Really, do people have nothing better to do than be so bloody cruel. The woman has cancer for God's sake. First people were accusing her of making it up for publicity and now this? OK, so she can be pretty annoying at times but she aint no racist (even coloured people have said that) and does not deserve this kind of treatment. the site includes a link to McMillian and says "if you want to help real cancer sufferers" She is a REAL cancer sufferer! She's not a cardboard cut out is she?!

Womanizer - Britney Spears

Britney Spears is certainly back to looking her best but what about the music? Well I dont think she ever really had a problem in that area. Gimme More and Piece of Me were great tracks. OK Break The Ice didnt do too well but that animee style video didnt help much. We all wanna see Britney move and do her thing. Lets hope Womanizer has a video where she does just that cos this song is def one that needs to be danced to.

The Pride of Britain Red Carpet

Last night The pride of Britain Awards took place. Here are some photos from the red carpet. The wards will be shown tonight (Wednesday Oct 1st) at 8PM.

My fave dress is Tess Daly's cos I usually loved red dresses. Cant say anyone else really stood out for me to be honest. Find most of them a bit dull really.
