Ashley Cole’s Other Woman Introduces The John Terry ‘Captain’s Armband’ Condom
ASHLEY Cole’s knickers are the subject of Sammi Fugill’s indelible memory banks. Sammi dated the Chelsea and England player before he hooked up with “nation’s sweetheart” Cheryl Cole.
Sammi tells heat readers that he’s glad she had the “self-respect” to dump Ashley after she claims he made pass at her mate. She then tells us that sex with Ashley was “sweaty”, respectfully.

Peter Andre Is ‘Taken Out’ And Katie Price ‘Explodes’
IN heat magazine “JORDAN EXPLODES”. The cabin pressure aboard those trans-Atlantic flights? It can happen. Irena D. was on her way from Moscow to Los Angeles on an unnamed airline when her chest spread itself out. Irena DDD cannot be traced.

It turns out that Katie Price has not exploded in the literal sense. But she has screamed:
“How dare you date other women!”
Katie is said to have been put out that Peter Andre had been working Maddy Ford in a sponsored shag. Says a source:
“The worst part is that the kids were there and saw and heard everything.”
Princess TenaLadyMe and Junior Peter are all ears and eyes. When they get together for their stage show version of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez I Love Lucy, they will surely spill the beans.
“It was awful,’ says our source. Junior didn’t really understand what was going on and she was in the background telling him what to say. She was saying to him, ‘Daddy’s a liar. Look Daddy’s kissing another girl… See how Daddy treats Mummy now. That girl is called Maddy and – that’s Daddy’s girlfriend. Ask him about it Junior.”
No need. Maddy Ford has been speaking to the press about it all. All Junior need to is read.
Says Junior, now with a speaking part:
“Daddy, why did you lie?”
The source then tells us:
“That’s the worst part – he stuck to his word and yet she still went mad and tried to use it against him.”
Poor Peter. And its get worse, because heat announces in a headline:
“TAKE PETE OUT.”
A hit on the pop acorn? Is death the next logical step on his career ladder? No, dear reader. This is a contest for readers to send in videos explaining that they’ve got what it takes to date Peter – which from an outsider’s viewpoint seem to be a massive chests, hair extensions and a speed dial to the tabloids…

Gerard Butler Presents Love Never Dies Reviews: In Pictures
LOVE Never Dies is the sequel to Andrew Lloyd Webber The Phantom Of The Opera. the name is drippy, the kind of sentiment printed inside a 70th birthday card decorated in watercolour flowers. It’s already got a nickname: Paint Never Dries. Gerard Butler went to see it. Which was nice.
The critics also went to see it. That’s them in the aisle seats leaving before the curtain call. That’s them with their carrier bags and little pens and little hands and little feet. We’ve got pictures from the first night at the end of this post.
The verdicts:
This production keeps such a straight face, it’s as if the slightest smile might crack it. It never acknowledges that in a musical in which no one could exactly be described as animated, it might be a mistake to introduce your leading lady in the form of an automaton in her image. Or that it’s probably not a good idea to have your hero, in his first solo, sing “the moments creep, but I can’t bear to sleep” to a melody that moves like a sloth in quicksand.
Charles Spencer – Telegraph: 4 Stars
“What I have no doubt about whatever is that this is Lloyd Webber’s finest show since the original Phantom, with a score blessed with superbly haunting melodies and a yearning romanticism that sent shivers racing down my spine.”

Mary Hart Presents Marie Osmond’s Son’s Death As Your Entertainment Tonight
IF you’ve seen or heard a promo for Entertainment Tonight in the past couple of days, it will come as no shock to you that Mary Hart is “close friends” with grieving mother Marie Osmond, writes Anorak’s Man in LA od Michael Bryan’s celebrity death.
“On the next E.T.,” the female announcer’s sexy but sympathtic voice purrs, “Mary Hart comforts Marie inside the funeral for her son!”
The Big Cheese nearly lost his lunch (a muenster cheese sandwich Nat & Al’s deli down the street) when he heard that one.
But that was nothing, compared to the minute-long online and on-camera funeral summary Hart gives from outside the church where the memorial service was held on Monday.

England Fans Demand Cheryl Cole Reunite With Ashley For World Cup
CHERYL Cole and Ashley Cole: Anorak’s at-a-glace round-up of what some are calling The Divorce of The Month…
Daily Star: “ASHLEY COLE SNUBS CHERYL REUNION”
Let’s not be hasty to judge. Does he have his new mobile phone number?
CROCKED football rotter Ashley Cole has chosen to save his football career over his marriage.
Rotter? Surely, “love cheat”, “love rat” or “playing away footy star”? Is writer Jerry Lawton a Terry Thomas fan? Anyhow, back to that scoundrel Ashley Cole:
The 29-year-old Chelsea and England star decided to stay at a French clinic for more treatment on his broken ankle. He was due to fly back to the UK today for showdown talks with estranged wife Cheryl, 26

Prince William’s Wig Exposed: Photos
THAT marvellous Hello! picture of “the real Prince William” showed us that beneath his wig of sparse straw-like hair was a mighty brunette’s main. Not since Bobby Charlton donned his trademark wig in order to help him to stand out from the crowd has a hairpiece been so effective. We went to see photographer Jeff Hubbard poses in front of his photographs of the Prince at the Crisis A Positive View exhibition, at Somerset House in central London. You can see them here:

County Finds That Marriages Were Valid Despite Questions About Local Minister’s License
Go on:
A Clark County Clerk’s Office investigation into marriage ceremonies performed by Las Vegas-based Rev. Mose Henney found that couples married by him are still presumed legally married, according to state law.
Marriages in Nevada are still legally binding even if the minister lacks the proper authority, as long as the couple believed they were being joined in marriage at the time of the wedding and have a valid marriage license.

In Pictures: Susan Boyle Might Sue Lindsay Lohan Over Milkaholic Slur
BEFORE pictures of Lindsay Lohan watching models in Paris walk up and down – because, like, everyone in Europe walks – news that the actress is suing E-Trade for, as she claims, modelling a “milkaholic” baby on her. Susan Boyle is watching.
Lindsay Lohan For Purple (NSFW)
Has Lohan ever been addicted to milk? Has she ever stolen a boyfriend, like the milkaholic baby does? When little did she dream of being a corporate drone?
Whatever. Lohan is nothing if she is not reasonable and wants $100 million for her pain and suffering – $50 pain for hurt and distress and another $50 from the millions the advert must made because it used the name Lindsay when it was aired during the Super Bowl.
Lindsay Lohan For Purple (NSFW)
Lohan’s lawyer, a Stephanie Ovadia, puts it to the court that she enjoys the same single-name recognition as Oprah, Madonna, Cher, Kermit, Biggles, Moses, Napoloeon, Cinderella, Jordan, Diana, Jesus and Anthea.

The Oscars Red Carpet Highlights: Kathryn Bigelow Is No Katie Price
THE OSCARS were just great on BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and all the other TV stations which didn’t broadcast the showbiz AGM. Sky TV went with the show, hoping that Avatar would scoop lots of Oscars and give the show’s money man Rupert Murdoch a double whammy. To hang out on the red carpet and ask celebs how they feel, was former Coronation Street actress Angela Griffin.
Here’s Angela to Mariah Carey:
“I have to ask you, you’re looking fabulous tonight.”

JLS Introduce The Top Ten Selling Celebrity Condoms
JLS are set to lend their names to range of condoms called Just Love Safe. Says well safe Aston Merrygold:
“My mum sends me down a stash (of condoms) and I dish them out to the lads so none of us have to worry. I’d really be up for doing some kind of campaign about safe sex.”
The Sun’s story gets no less fanciful as we read:
They were each assigned a shade when they first got together – with Aston being blue, Marvin, 24, green, Oritse, 23, red and JB, 23, yellow.
But the big question is not only on what size the condoms are but if they will each feature a likeness of the man behind the rubber – and which would sell best among men keen to wear the face of a JLS singer on their John Thomas?

Oscars Snub Farrah Fawcett And Bea Arthur Because Death Is ‘Not Comfortable’
THE Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has responded to Tabloid Baby’s complaint that Farrah Fawcett was unjustly left out of the In Memorium segment of the Academy Awards show, and their answer is “tough luck”, writes TB. Also missing was a Arthur.
“I would not say that it was an oversight,” says spokeswoman Leslie Unger. “No matter how carefully and how conscientiously people address who is included, there are people who just simply can’t be.
“Every year there are many difficult decisions that have to be made and not everybody who passed during the year can be included. That’s the unfortunate reality.”

Katie Price And Victoria Beckham Go For The Golden Balls At Elton John’s Oscars Do
KATIE Price took her English rose to the Elton John post-Oscars party. Unlike some Our Katie didn’t also make it to the Vanity Fair do, a happening do utterly devoid of fun that it could pass for a Peter Andre concert. Hey, steady on. Just a stupid, stupid joke to keep Katie on side. Peter’s concert was a triumph.(Pictures at foot of story.)
But like you we are a little disappointing that his dry humping has faded since his days with Katie. Maybe if sentimental Pete have scored a babysitter and Princess TenaLadyMe and Junior Peter – aka Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez – had not been there he’d have given it the full mop and bucket.

Oscars In Pictures: Ex-Wives Club President Kathryn Bigalow Presents The Vanity Fair Party
The soireee is the showbiz equivalent of football fans who watch their team’s away game broadcast on a Jumbotron parked at one end of the ground.
Only no-one was swallowing a revolting saveloy – that’s not how Hollywood works. Really. It isn’t.
Of course, it’s not footy. It’s showbiz. Although, Elton John did use to be chairman of Watford FC, so the footy similarities are pronounced. And here comes Victoria Beckham. And with that the music strikes and the singer cranks up the chants…

Sandra Bullock And Hurt Locker Stick Avatar Where The Sun Shines: Oscars Pictures
SANDRA Bullock went to the press room as the Winner of the Best Actress in an Oscar-nominated role. The British came. And the British went home with nothing.

Oscars In Pictures: Sandra Bullock And The Hurt Locker Present The Oscar Winners And Losers
THE OSCARS In Pictures: Sandra Bullock won Best Actress. Jeff Bridges won Best Actor. Jeff Bridges’ standing ovation rippled to the mezzanines. Sandra Bullock’s was confind to the ground floor. Which may or may not be interesting. The Hurt Locker won Best film. Avatar did not win – but it made lots of money.
The red carpet is the thread of dreams and dread. In they come. And out they will go. The winners. And all the losers. And hundreds of people who you’ll never hear of who make the few into stars. And when the stars shine, the real stars put on sunglasses and step indoors. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon shared a kiss that will live in the memory (see image 2 below – story continues below image gallery).

The Oscars were presented by Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. Alec says:
“No matter what, they nominate Meryl Streep.”
Streep has 16 nominations. Streep provides continuity. The saucy showgirls danced in the hope of being spotted for their hidden talents.
The hosts wore 3D glasses each to welcome Avatar director James Cameron. James Cameron’s ex-wife, The Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow, then recieved a gift basket with a timer and Cameron reciprocated by sending her a Toyota. This turned out not to be death threa but a joke by Baldwin & Martin.
