			<title><![CDATA[Top Gear Legend Clarkson isnt as fantastic as we think]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[It has been revealed that Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson has been cheating on his wife with a pretty blonde throughout an international tour with the show. 
The 50 year old father of three has betrayed his loyal wife of 18 years, Frances, in a shameless, ongoing affair with a fellow work colleague. The relationship has been going on while performing abroad on the BBC Top Gear Live tour - just one of the numerous money making deals to be overseen by Frances - who is also his manager. 
It can be revealed that Clarkson's lover, a tanned 42 year old blonde, joined him on the tour in Australia, South Africa, and Norway and spent numerous nights with him in his hotel room. This was all going on while Frances was back at the couple's manor home in the Cotswolds, which is where she runs her husband's office. 
Frances, a former recruitment consultant, is credited with the brains behind the once much loved 'Clarkson Brand' which was bought into by both men and women alike. She helped his craft his image as a 'maverick', outspoken eccentric who is a devoted husband and father. Frances tirelessly worked by her husband's side for the last 20years and transformed him from a poor unknown motoring writer to a multi-millionaire internationally known celebrity. 
In the past Clarkson has said about his wife's role that what they have done, they have done together and they are very much a team. He further said that he would not have been able to achieve anything on this scale on his own and it's true. Frances, 49, has been such a successful manager that as well as making an annual salary which is estimated to be more than 1million pounds from the BBC, he last year earned an additional 850,000 pounds from spin-offs from the show such as Top Gear Live. 
In Australia, the sordid lovers stayed in a villa together, in South Africa he fed her salad from a plate as they relaxed on sun loungers and in Norway it seemed that the relationship between the pair was common knowledge to all those in the Top Gear entourage. So it seems that Clarkson did not seem to care if his wife of 18years found out about his extra-marital activity. He even kissed his lover tightly on the lips in full view of his co-stars James May and Richard Hammond and everyone in the crowded public haunts he has been taking her too.

			<title><![CDATA[New Dark Dr Who]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[The big boss at Doctor Who, Steven Moffat, has stated that the new season of the well known sci-fi show hits our screens in a far darker style than usual! 
Launching the first two episodes at London's Olympia, Moffat has asked journalists to keep all of the show's secrets close to their chests. The opening scene begins with the show's lead star, Matt Smith, reunited with Karen Gillan's character Amy Pond, Rory, played by Arthur Darvill and Alex Kingston's River Song in 1960s America. 
The much loved quartet team up with the then President Nixon to fight a scary new alien threat, who were partly inspired by Edvard Munch's  well known painting 'The Scream'. The aliens are introduces in the two opening episodes, The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon. 
The episodes, which include scenes which were shot in the Utah desert last year, are set to be shown on BBC One later on in the month. Steven Moffat wrote both of the episodes and has said that this opening to the series is far darker than audiences have seen before. 
He went on to say that "We've been pretty dark before in Doctor Who. But we're coming in from the dark side just because we haven't done it that way before." 
However Moffat, who took over as the lead writer and executive producer said that he does not think the shows are too scary for children to watch. The writer had two children of his own and he would not write something that he didn't think was acceptable for them to watch. 
He said that he starts by creating a Doctor Who who is frightening to appeal to children; the children are the ones who need to find it scary, not the adult. Children rank the appeal of Doctor Who episodes based on how frightening they were - that's what it's all about! Then you start to add in the jokes and silly bits for the adults. 
Later episodes will include guest starts including Lily Cole and ex-Coronation Street actress Suranne Jones, who will appeal in an episode called The Doctor's Wife, written by sci-fi author Neil Gaiman. 
This season will also be the first time that it is split into two. The first seven episodes will appear on our screens from April 23rd and then the remaining six episodes will be shown in the autumn. This is a tactical decision by the broadcasters. The idea is that if your run a show for a continual 13 weeks, viewers will think that they will be ok if they miss one episode, so by stopping the show for a couple of week this will stop happening.

			<title><![CDATA[The Beckhams are finally having a girl]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[After wanting a little girl for ages and having three boys already the Beckhams are over the moon to finally be expecting a girl after hubby David confirmed the news last week. At first David stated that the doctors thought they would be having another boy but another scan has revealed that Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo will indeed be having a little sister. 
Becks said that as he already has three boys with wife Posh, he kind of just assumed that he would be having another little boy and when the doctor at the three-month scan said 'Oh, it looks like a boy', the pair joked that they would almost have a five-a-side team between them. But as soon as it was confirmed they were having a girl the emotion just hit both of them. 
In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, the American Idol presenter, Becks added that it is nice to be prepared and that all the boys are very excited about the thought of having a little sister. When Seacrest joked that they almost had a little Beckham Army, David added 'We're almost there!' 
Posh, aged 36, is now five months pregnant and her due date is in the summer. She has publically spoken about having a daughter and in 2009 she even confessed that people always ask her if she'd want a girl to which she replied that if she was ever lucky enough to get pregnant again she would be blessed to have a daughter. 
Posh and Becks are currently splitting their time between LA and London, however it was reported last week that they are thinking about moving back to Britain full time. Although the family love LA and will always have a base there, David's contract with LA Galaxy will soon run out and they need to start thinking about the future. 
David is keen to finish his career in football at an English club is it is at all possible, although other possibilities have not been ruled out and while Victoria has made many close friends in California anf loves the lifestyle, she missed her family in the UK a lot. 
In the interview with Seacrest, David also revealed that himself and Posh have been invited to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on 29th April.

			<title><![CDATA[Cheryl Cole turns to Rihanna]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[So a couple of months ago Cheryl Cole jumped across the pond to try and make a success of her career in the States, but this has not been as fast paced as Cole hoped as her mentor Simon Cowell has been dragging his feet over a role for her on the US X Factor show. So Cole has turned to her new BFF, Rihanna for some much needed advice. 
The pair have been exchanging numerous text messages, girl talk, and planning 'get togethers' as soon as Rihanna has finished her tour. Rihanna, dubbed Ri Ri in gossip magazines, really wants to help Cole break the US an as she is now such a big name she has started taking Cheryl with her. Cheryl has made no secret of the fact that Ri Ri is her most recent 'girl crush' and that she would love to work with her one day. 
Cheryl has also decided that a new look is one of the best ways forward and so to ignite her complete style overhaul she is starting to hang around with new and different groups of people to help seal her identity as a proper hip-hop artist. However this is very against what Cowell has advised the pint-size singer as he does not agree with the sound change she is heading toward. 
But, as Cole is growing more and more disillusioned with her mentor, she might not be so concerned that her sound change could cause a clash with the record company who see her solely as a pop princess. Cheryl is so upset that her mood has darkened and she is far more tetchy at the moment than she usually is and as a result of being annoyed with Simon she is taking it out on her love interest Derek. 
Simon, 50, recently announced the names who are in the frame for the coveted US X Factor job. These included Paula Abdul, who Simon said has 'good taste', Jessica Simpson as she 'knows what she's talking about', and Cheryl Cole as he thinks her 'personality would translate in America'. However, even though Cheryl was included in the list, she was dealt a low blow as the US magazine which published the article still had to explain just who the Girl's Aloud star is.

			<title><![CDATA[RIP Elizabeth Taylor]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Wednesday 23rd March, marked the end of the life of one of the most fabulous, glamorous and strong women of our time, Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor, 79, died of heart failure in hospital surrounded by her four children.
Miss Taylor was the last of Hollywood's movie goddesses and the award winning actress spent the final six weeks of her life at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles. The star was admitted after her weight dropped to a shocking 98lb as the heart failure she was diagnosed with in 2004 was beginning to overwhelm her.
A friend close to the glamorous puss said that her frame was 'tiny' and she was 'fighting for every breath'. But Miss Taylor was happy with her life by the end even though she felt she had so much to live for, but at least she was at peace and she was watched over by her children from her seven husbands, Michael and Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd and Maria Burton. 
Michael, 57, said that his mother was an extraordinary woman who lived her life to the fullest, with great passion, humour and love. He continued that the world is a better place for his mother having lived in it. He further went on that himself, siblings, grand children and great grandchildren were all extremely proud of her work in film, her business woman success and her advocacy in the fight against HIV/Aids. 
The private family funeral is expected to be held this week and it is believed that Miss Taylor's family will split her 360million pound fortune, although close friends have said that the star did leave some of it for her Aids charity, which is also expected to benefit from the handwritten diaries of the star which she discussed about being published. 
Despite her illness, Miss Taylor still managed to celebrate her 79th birthday with her family and close friends one month early as she was due to go into hospital for ten days later and she asked her fans to pray for her as she faced her latest health hurdle. 
It's a sad facts that Miss Taylor had actually been plagued by health problems her entire life and she estimated that she had almost died around four times. She was born with scoliosis, and suffered from back problems which were in part to blame for her subsequent addiction to pain killers and alcohol, which she never gave up. 
She also had to have both of her hips replaced, beat skin cancer and a brain tumour, diabetes, seizures and a stroke. Overall she endured 70 illnesses and 100 operations, 20 of them being classes as major surgery. 
Starting her career as a child star, she was successful in transitioning to adult roles and won two Oscars, one for Butterfield 8 and Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? But it is unfortunate that her 50-strong list of film credits was often overshadowed by her private life, including her 7 marriages, most notably those to Richard Burton who she married and divorced twice.

			<title><![CDATA[Film Council loves the success of The Kings Speech]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Although the UK Film Council has been recently axed, they are still basking in the success of the King's Speech, in which they invested £1m of lottery money in the early stages of development, after the film won four Oscars. 

The head of the Film Fund, Tanya Seghatchian, said that it was a magnificent ending chapter for the UK Film Council. She continued that the rise of The King's Speech from an independent film to a worldwide commercial and critical phenomenon is a massive testament to both the creators and the cast as well as everyone else who was involved. 

It was announced last November that the British Film Institute (BFI) was going to take over the government's head strategic body for film and investing in British films. However with the structure already in place it seems strange to pull the plug, but this is something which was addressed by the film's star Colin Firth when he won the best actor Oscar, saying "I do think that on the face of it that it was a short-sighted decision".

One of the film's producers, Iain Canning, echoed the sentiments made by Firth saying that the film wouldn't have even been made without the UK Film Council! 

It is somewhat ironic that without the government subsidy across the world, films like The King's Speech just would not exists, however the current worldwide takings which exceed £152m are going to be viewed as a vindication of public arts funding.

			<title><![CDATA[Celebrity Support for Japans Victims]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[After the horrific and catastrophic earthquake and tsunami on Friday, celebrities have not wasted any time in showing their support for the victims and doing all they can to raise funds to provide as much financial support as they can. 
Lady Gaga is showing her support by selling her personally designed red and white wristbands which are etched with her signature monster paw and the words 'We pray for Japan', for just $5 on her website, which also  encourages fans and followers to donate further to the relief efforst on the Citizen Effect web page. 
And although Charlie Sheen has been dominating the news in recent weeks with his strange and self-destructive behaviour, he is at least using his notoriety for some good. He has pledged to donate $1 from every ticket which he has sold for his upcoming stand-up tour to the Red Cross to help to assist the devastated nation. 
Mike Shinoda from rock band Linkin Park acted very promptly and personally designed T-shirts which have an image such as a white butterfly and the phrase 'Not Alone' written in across them, all incorporating the colour scheme of red, white and blue, to help benefit the band's Music for Relief Charity. 
The tragedy which has occurred has also pulled on the heart strings of the supermodel Petra Nemcova who was lucky enough to have survived the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami but unfortunately lost her boyfriend. She is now urging people to give money to her charity called the Happy Hearts Funds which aims to better the lives of children who live in regions which are struck by natural disasters such as these. 
There are a number of other celebs such as Conan O'Brien, Katy Perry, Chris Brown and Diddy using their star status to encourage their streams of fans via social media tools such as Twitter to donate to the relief efforts. However, this is somewhat unlike the earthquake devastation in Haiti when stars like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock and Madonna all gave their own hard earned cash as donations for the relief efforts.

			<title><![CDATA[Laura Hamilton denies all romance with Dancing on Ice partner]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Dancing on Ice babe, Laura Hamilton, has revealed that she will not be falling into the cliche and there will be now sizzling romance with her hunky ice skating partner Colin Ratushniak. 
For a couple of weeks, the cheeky 28 year old, has been commenting about how close she has become with the Canadian sportsman. In January she was even quoted as saying that amount of training the pair had been doing made her feel like Colin had replaced her boyfriend of two years! 
And, more recently, the children's TV presenter was seen having a quite revealing nude picture of Colin on her mobile phone. But, she has said that 'Nothing is going to happen. We are more like brother and sister, 100%'. 
Regarding the saucy mobile phone picture, Laura tried to explain it away by saying that it wasn't personally sent to her by Colin but was a photo she had taken of him and was sharing with her followers on Twitter. 
Laura, who presents on kids' TV channel Nickelodeon, has been in a relationship with insurance broker named Alex, 30, for two years now and the pair are planning on moving in together. She also says that the tabloid rumours have failed to cause any ices patches in their relationship. 
Colin has also given his side of the story saying he met with Alex straight away and thought he was an amazing guy, who understands showbiz and that you have to act up to the cameras. 
He further added that they are professionals and half of the job is to tell a story. Colin also has nothing but praise for the effort and dedication that Laura has put into the show, he feels really lucky to be working with someone who is so trusting, fearless and determined. 
So, it seems that Laura will not be getting into any trouble, unlike her main rival in the skating competition, Sam Attwater. The former Eastenders actor was forced to admit that he had faked a headline grabbing relationship last month with skating partner Brianne Delcourt. Attwater was criticised after pictures of him emerged in a steamy clinch with the married ice skater Alexandra Shauman - despite a series of photo shoots suggesting Brianne was his girlfriend. 
Just last week, Colin and Laura were sitting at the top of the judges' leaderboard with a score of 28.5, the highest score to be given so far in the series, and their team also won the team challenge.

			<title><![CDATA[Lily to be the new Simon]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[It has been reported that Lily Allen has been in secret talks regarding her taking Simon Cowell's seat on the XFactor judging panel in a huge megabucks deal! 
Simon Cowell is a huge fan of the pint size pop star and has told his executive producers to 'break the bank' to get the sharp tongued quicj witted singer on board the hit ITV show. However, Lily who is currently taking a break from the spotlight to write the score for 'Bridget Jones: The Musical' is definitely playing hard to get. A source has stated that Lily was very flattered to receive Simon's call as it's a huge job and it's an honour to be asked, however she is not yet convinced. 
Lily is trying to take a step back from being in the public eye over the past six months and does not want to be thrown head first into the madness which comes with the show, the source further revealed. 
"She doesn't need the money or the hassle at this stage in her life. Maybe in a few years' time when circumstances change she will be more receptive." 
Lily, the daughter of actor Keith Allen, has had it quite rough the past few months after she lost her unborn child when she was six-months pregnant. But, she would be extremely qualified for the role having had two Number 1 singles as well as a pair of chart-topping albums. She also won three Ivor Novello Awards for the song writing abilities and Best Female at last year's Brit Awards. 
And Lily is the perfect candidate to replace Nasty Simon as her several high-profile spats with fellow celebs means it's very unlikely that she will mince her words when judging the hopeful wannabe singers. But, there is no worry of her renewing her spat with Cheryl Cole, as she too is set to leave the UK judging panel for the show's US version.

			<title><![CDATA[Who were the best dressed celebs at this years Oscars]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[2011 brought with it the 83rd Annual Academy Awards and the stars flooded to the legendary red carpet in the latest of fashions, and although there were many, many beautiful people attending the event, there were few leading ladies who really stepped up to the mark in the style stakes. 
Cate Blanchett wore the best dress of the night and should have been taken home the title of Bets Dresses. She looked stunning in a very pale Givenchy gown which featured a structured top brimming with intricate detail leading down to a floaty and draped bottom. Not only did the colour compliment her personality it was also one of the nicest coloured dresses worn all evening. 
Winner of the Best Actress award, Natalie Portman, worn a plum coloured Rodarte gown. Cleverly, the drape of the fabric concealed her baby bump as well as complimenting it and the open neckline made sure that the look stayed fresh, elegant with slight sex appeal. Although she did receive criticism regarding her hair style choice, overall the look was a success. 
Sandra Bullock has been making some fantastic fashion choices recently and her Oscars dress was another roaring success. The donned a form-fitting Vera Wang gown in a daring red, which actually really suited her, teamed with minimal jewellery and her hair styles in an elegant. 
Halle Berry is another actress who rarely makes fashion mistakes and this is because that woman knows exactly how to dress her body. The stunning actress wore an equally stunning sparkly ad gauzy Marchesa gown which showed her shape off to perfection. 
However, like with any award ceremony or celebrity event, it is also fun to look at the less fortunate in the style stakes and it seems that there was a few at this year's Oscars including Nicole Kidman, whose dress did not do any favours and could even be compared to a napkin. Reese Witherspoon however, chose the boring route and wore a simple black dress.
