BRITs 2010: Jay-Z’s Race Row Party, A Table And JLS Storm

8382173THE BRITs 2010 continues to make news as the Daily Star tells its readers that “WHITES” are “BANNED” from Jay-Z’s after-show party. Well, not quite. Jay-Z is “horrified” at the alleged banning at what the Star says was his party. And the banners are said to be “bouncers”.

The paper tells of a “lavish bash with music industry executives, journalists and revellers” being turned away “from the roped–off area because of the colour of their skin”. So, whites were not banned from the party. The Star just didn’t see any whites breast the rope to enter the VIP zone?

To the Merah club, on London’s Oxford Street, with Kim Dawson. She says he “never felt so intimidated” by the do in which “it was clear white people were not welcome in his VIP area”. Dawson is a “Scottish blonde”, as close to an indigenous black population as it gets without being ginger. She felt like a “mauled dog”.

She sees JLS singer Oritse Williams and Alesha Dixon “storm out”. The inference is that this was because of the alleged colour bar, but Williams only says the place is “uncool” and Dixon says it was “horrible” with “aggro”.

Robbie Williams Brits 2010

In the Sun, there is this version of events:

To show his appreciation, Jay invited the boys to swig back the Cristal at his private party in West End Club Merah. But their big night was almost ruined by over-enthusiastic bouncers. They were forced to leave the party after just half an hour when fights broke out between the club’s security and punters eager to congratulate the lads on their haul of gongs.

The facts keep coming and one fact the Star is at pains to make clear is that the billionaire rapper is a good guy:

“Jay-Z, 36, was completely unaware of the situation after having a custom-built table laid on for him in private corner.”

Lady GaGa’s Foam Pony And Pixie Geldof’s Undies Present The Brits Awards

THE Brits Awards 2010 AGM music show always looks like an audition for new talent in the Brussels celebrity silo. If the suits at the little round tables clap, and their relatives in the mosh bit jump high enough, the singer can leave the EU Celebrity Mountain for a tour or pubs, clubs and daytime telly in Blighty. Lose and you are despatched on a tour of the Far East to be Big In Japan. We saw them sing. We saw Cheryl Cole plead. We saw Lady GaGa dress. And now see them afterwards…

HAITI is saved by So You Think You Can Dance winner Charlie Bruce, Lady Sovereign, Katia Ivanova and Bianca Gascoigne at Lindsay Lohan’s Brits 4 Haiti party at Altitude in south west London.

Robbie Williams Sings At The Brits In Pictures With a Li-Lo Called Stevie

robbie-williams4ROBBIE Williams has been on the Brits stag tossing and collects a Lifetime Achievement Award (in his 30s), but before he did so he spared a few words for OK!.

Robbie says the fans were “confused” when he put out Rudebox. Confusion is not the word. The fans were pretty sure what to make of it. It was dire.

To plug his new work, Reality Killed The Video Star, Robbie let’s us know that in LA “it’s sunny most of the time” and “laid-back” (insert picture of rioting here).

Cheryl Cole Checks Ashley Cole’s Shoes In OK!, In Pictures

7517829CHERYL Cole is on the cover of OK! magazine. “Everybody’s icon” is smiling. Cheryl wants us to know that girls are “ALWAYS THROWING THEMSELVES AT ASHLEY”.

“Lemme at ‘im,” scream these new Suffragettes. “I’ll ‘ave the little so-and-so!”

It turns out that Cheryl means that girls are throwing themselves at Ashley because they want to snog him and have his baybees, tell the papers about shagging him (which they don’t) and having text sex, which is all fingers and thumb – so spot on for adolescents and footballers, allegedly.

OK! caught up with Cheryl in Vienna, where she was one week ago. Cheryl says that she will be supporting Ashley at the World Cup, but only when he plays in “big games”.

Myleene Klass In Star Wars Epic

8351118MYLEENE Klass is writing for the Sun – highlights include a Star Wars epic:

* Gordon Brown was a bit weepy during his TV interview with Piers Morgan. So what?

* My fiancé, Ray, and I spent Valentine’s Day apart as we were both working. So two days before I decided to put my hair up in Princess Leia buns

* Given all the recent revelations about stars ‘sexting’, I think we should have a mass phone amnesty. If you can’t be trusted not to send naughty messages to someone who isn’t your wife, then you’re banned from having a phone. Simple as that!

Myleene Klass is unmarried.

Lady GaGa Faces The Brits 2010, In Pictures

FOR anyone looking for sensation and style at the Brits Awards2010, there was Lady GaGa, dressed as a nativity play fairy (the dress reverses into a Christmas tree for non-religious schools). Lady GaGa picked up three awards to hang on her branches, paying an emotional tribute to late fashion designer Alexander McQueen. There’s a lot of celebrity grandstanding when a star dies – the celebs claim one of their own – but GaGa is the authentic voice, if not the face, of fashion. Never mind the music, get a load of the look:

Cheryl Cole Fight For Ashley’s Love: Brits Awards 2010 In Pictures

CHERYL Cole brought fight to the Brits last night, shadow boxing the toilet attendant of love as she gave full throat to her command to husband Ashley Cole. The Express looked on and wandered if Cheryl is heading for a “22m divorce”. To the Mirror she is “Cheryl Cool”, airing her grievances and crotch at the big music AGM. But the Sun does the top job, leading with “brave” Cheryl in full cry and asking “How could you Ashley?” Cheryl wasn’t wearing her wedding ring. Which is good news for Ashley, who can look forward to a good clean fight without weapons…

THE Brits Awards show was the AGM to end all music industry AGMs this month. JLS proved likeable, and not just because we bumped into Aston Merrygold in Brent X, Lady GaGa, Madonna’s camel (a popstar formed by committee) did everything to hide her face, Dizzee Rascal rocked and with Florence saved the UK pop industry from Cheryl Cole fighting her way out of a paper bag…

Katie Price Used ‘Fake Tan’ On Princess And ‘Dyed’ Her Hair

clownMORE news on Princess TianaLadyMeeee, Katie Price’s two-year-old, as Closer magazine’s source tells readers that mum “tried dying Princess’s hair blonde as she thought it was too ginger”.

Can you be too ginger? You are either ginger or you are not ginger. The ginger community is unequivocal on such matters. The source goes on to claim that Katie Price plucks Princess’s eyebrows – yep, she does NOT have her own depilatologist – and “used Johnson’s Holiday Skin, a gradual tan moisturiser” on Princess. Closer says this is a “fake tan“.

* JOHNSON’S® HOLIDAY SKIN® Light Glow’s fantastic fragrance leaves no tell-tale after smell…so no one will know where you got that glow.

Hair too ginger. Skin not gingery enough. It’s a topsy-turvy world, kids.

Vernon Kay And Tess Daley’s Brilliant Life Is A Hardback Gift

70174731MORE outtakes from Tess Daly’s book about her wonderful life with text mad Vernon Kay and the “journey” to being a “brilliant” mother:

“As gorgeous and as much of a laugh as Vernon is, and as much of a brilliant husband and father he has tuned out to be, he didn’t immediately strike-me as settling-down material.”

Anorak cares little for the whys and why nots of Vernon Kay’s sex life, but is always amazed that anyone should feel a need to write a book in which they tell the world how terrific and amazing their life is and not expect it to blow up in their face.

Amy admits: ‘We’re addicted to each other.

Amy Winehouse & Blake

Heat meets Blake at his flat in Sheffield. All good, then. Only, heat speaks of friends being “terrified” and wracked with “fears” that Amy and Blake will be less than good for each other. These “friends” who sue heat like a therapist to share their private terrors need to ask themselves this: what hurts more, unrequited love or the removal of a “Blake” tattoo from your left bosom?

Hello! Introduces The ‘Real’ Prince William, In Photos

6071-bIN this week’s Hello!, Prince William is wearing Wayne Newton’s hair. Can it be that the son of the celebrity Princess, Diana, has dyed his tresses? The front-page headline says that this is “THE REAL WILLIAM”.

It turns out that the Real William has jet black, thick hair and is not a bit like that William with the mousy sparseness.

On page 1 of the William special, Real Wills tells us:

“The diptych that I have created with Jeff is a reminder of the way in which all of us – whatever path our lives have taken – are ultimately neighbours and share a common bond.”

National Enquirer Panic: Angelina Jolie Is ‘Saintly’ And Jennifer Aniston Marries Gerard Butler: Pictures

jen-ange1ANGELINA Jolie and Brad Pitt sue the News of The World for saying they’ve split, get spotted at the Super Bowl rutting like adolescents, and for the first time in years, the National Enquirer’s lead story of Jennifer Aniston does not feature an accompanying “source-say” piece about Brangelina in CRISIS.

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt – A Romance

And get this from the Enquirer:

“Angie’s new-golden status comes as welcome relief following a month of shocking stories about her personal life with partner Brad Pitt.”

Stories you might have read in the… National Enquirer, which now calls Angelina Jolie – get his – “saintly”. Like Jen – only saintlier (read this).

As for the story that breaks the mould, Aniston is said to be in a “TRIAL MARRIAGE” with Gerard Butler and a £110m prenup”

Cheryl Cole On Being ‘Everybody’s Icon’ And Fighting For Ashley Cole

5027248IN this week’s Hello!, Cheryl Cole “opens her heart about fighting for her marriage to Ashley”.

Cheryl Cole’s marriage has been “gossiped about, analysed and, at times, severely tested,” trills Hello!.

How times move fast. When this was written Cheryl and Ashley Cole had moved on from allegations of his cheating on her with a model and Aimee Walton. Now, there are tabloid tales of a glamour mode and a secretary telling the world how she shagged Ashley. (No word from Cole yet, and the claims remain unproven.)

Heather Mills Divorce Money All Gone, Can Macca’s Rainy Day Account Save Beatrice From Poverty?

8329287OUT of Dancing On Ice, Heather Mills’ “divorce money” has “gone”. The Express has news:

Heather Mills has spent the majority of her £24.3 million divorce settlement from SIR PAUL McCARTNEY – in just 22 months.

Where did it go? and how much – the minority – is left? We ‘re not told the later. But are told:

She says, “Most of it’s been given to charity, gone into ethical businesses or paid for a couple of ¬properties for my daughter’s future security. I could never sit with millions of pounds in the bank that could make matters change.”

Sir Paul McCartney is the daughter’s daddy – he earned £25 million last year. He also has a £500 million rainy day account. Hopefully, Beatrice, for it is she, will muddle through.
