James ‘Arg’ Argent to sing at Mark Wright’s wedding


James 'Arg' Argent is going to be Mark Wright's wedding singer.
'The Only Way is Essex' star is gearing up to belt out of a few tunes when his best pal ties the knot to former 'Coronation Street' star Michelle Keegan next year, and Arg is equally looking forward to Mark's stag do.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm sure there will be an opportunity for me to sing a couple of songs at the wedding.
"The stag do is going to be some time next year but I'm not sure where it is going to be just yet. I'm sure it will be like a Marbella or a Vegas or something that."
But before Arg, 26, takes to the stage at Mark's wedding next year he is hoping he will have passed his driving test as he is currently undergoing an intensive driving course.
He added: "Lydia hasn't given me any more lessons but I'm getting proper lessons, I'm doing an intensive driving course. I can't wait to drive."
Meanwhile, Arg also sang at Mark's cousin Leah's wedding in Spain recently, causing a fight between her and Mark's sister Jess Wright and mother Carol Wright.

Helen Flanagan wants a bigger bum


Helen Flanagan wishes she had a bigger bum.
The busty beauty enjoys exercising and is generally happy with her figure, but admits her least favourite body part is her derriere and she would love it if her posterior was given a bit of a boost.
She said: "I wish my bum was bigger. I'm very busty and I would like a bigger bum.
"I'm naturally very toned around my stomach. If I put weight on, it doesn't go on my stomach.
"I love exercise and it's something I genuinely do enjoy. I've got a trainer and I love being healthy.
"I exercise every day. My only downfall is chocolate."
The 24-year-old beauty insists she often has cravings for healthy food such as mangoes and even avoids purchasing calorific crisps.
She added to OK! magazine: "I have never been brought up on fish and chips or pies. My mum brought me up on a healthy diet.
"I really crave healthy food like mangoes or granola. Even with crisps, I buy the beetroot ones to make it a bit healthier."

Gethin Jones to join Tinder?


Gethin Jones is thinking about joining Tinder.
The former 'Blue Peter' presenter has confessed he's considering signing up for the popular dating app but claims he would like to use it to find a girlfriend rather than to meet women for hook-ups.
He explained: "I went on Tinder with my mate the other day as I find it fascinating.
"I spent some time in America recently and guys there just on it because they want to have sex.
"But I would like to go on there and meet someone nice for a date as it makes it easier. I am 36 now. Where do you meet girls? In a bar? I don't know. It is really difficult to meet people."
'The 21st Question' host - who split from fiancée Katherine Jenkins in 2011 after four years together - admits that he actually went as far as to create an account but decided against activating it and is instead insisting potential suitors should get in touch with him on Twitter.
He told The Sun newspaper: "If women want to find me they can tweet me. That would be lovely if any girls out there fancied a date! We could start a sister show called 'Geth's 21 Girls'."
Gethin also dismissed rumours that he's been romantically involved with 'Total Wipeout' presenter Amanda Byram and actress Kelly Brook.
He added: "Amanda and I became friends after we did a Sport Relief thing together.
"Kelly Brook is another one. I just kind of go, 'The rumours are not the end of the world!' She is not exactly ugly. But it is the boring truth that we are just friends."

Mark Wright: Michelle Keegan eats ice cream in bed


Mark Wright says Michelle Keegan eats ice cream in bed.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star is engaged to the former 'Coronation Street' actress and has revealed she doesn't work too hard or follow strict diets to get her enviable figure as she likes to indulge in sweet treats in the bedroom.
Quizzed on whether his fiancée watches her weight, he said: "Not at all. She doesn't diet that much. She had a magnum ice cream at 12 o'clock last night in bed! She just goes to the gym two to three times a week and watches what she eats."
The 27-year-old heartthrob - who was previously engaged to his TOWIE co-star Lauren Goodger - also confessed that when he tells Michelle, 27, that she has the perfect body, she doesn't believe him.
When asked if she believes it when he tells her she's perfect, he told new! magazine: "No, she doesn't. She's just like, 'Oh shut up, you're just saying that'. But she has got the perfect body."
Meanwhile, Mark also admitted that while he and Michelle - who was previously engaged to The Wanted's Max George - try to follow a relatively healthy diet and fitness regime, he has a weakness for Indian takeaways.
He added: "I love an Indian. You're meant to have one cheat meal a week, but I have a cheat weekend!"

Kiefer Sutherland to make more 24


Kiefer Sutherland would consider making another series of '24'.
The 47-year-old star reprised his role as Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer in TV mini-series '24: Live Another Day' earlier this year after the original series came to an end in 2010 and he's now revealed he would be happy to return to the character again.
He confessed: "I'm missing Jack already, I love playing him. I can never say never, the role is in my blood.
"My biggest fear about brining Jack back was, can we produce the standard that the fans have been used to?
"I still feel there are more stories to tell and lots of directions we can take."
'The Lost Boys' actor - whose character is seen handing himself over to the enemy to save the life of his friend Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub) in the final episode of 'Live Another Day' - admitted that although he'd like to make another series, nothing is in the works as of yet.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "Hand on my heart there are no discussions about a new season at the moment, but I'm sure there will be at some point."
Meanwhile, viewers have been left wondering what's happened to Jack Bauer - who was last seen getting into a helicopter with a group of Russian thugs.
A source revealed: "Fans are desperate to know what happened to Jack once they got him back to Russia.
"Does he escape? Do the Americans send someone in to save him or does Chloe go on a one-woman freedom mission.
"There are so many options for another series."

Simon Cowell tips wannabe model to win X Factor


Simon Cowell has tipped a wannabe model to win 'The X Factor'.
The 54-year-old music mogul reportedly thinks Chloe-Jasmine Whichello - who was a finalist on Sky's model search programme 'The Face' - could be in with a chance of winning the ITV talent show after she wowed him and fellow judges Cheryl Cole, Mel B and Louis Walsh during her audition.
An insider revealed: "He thinks she can go all the way."
A source said: "Simon was totally smitten by Chloe-Jasmine from the start. She's a gorgeous girl. He loved her voice and tone. She has a very blues, jazzy kind of style which really made her stand out.
"Simon was grinning like a Cheshire cat all the way through her performances and made it clear afterwards that he thinks she has potential."
Chloe is a self-confessed Sloane - a fashionable upper-class young woman - and wrote a self-titled coffee table book and Simon is said to have been charmed by her entertaining audition.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "You never know what she'll do next. She got laughs by looking like someone's tipsy aunt, stumbling around the stage. When Simon asked her if she had any pets, she said she had a boyfriend who behaved like one because he wasn't house-trained."
However, the 24-year-old beauty - who first auditioned for 'The X Factor' seven years ago - recently confessed she was more interested in maintaining her glamorous lifestyle than pursuing a career in music.
She said previously: "As rock and roll as it would be to live on the side of the road suffering for my art, I would rather not."

Dynamo to move into live theatre shows


Dynamo wants to create a live theatre show.
The 31-year-old magician has finished filming the fourth and final series of 'Dynamo: Magician Impossible', and says his ambition now is to "bring magic on stage into the 21st century and beyond".
Speaking at a screening of the first episode of the final series in central London last night (13.08.14), the entertainer told BANG Showbiz: "[I want] to take a show on the road, creating a big theatre show, which I haven't had time to do because I've been making this show."
Asked whether he intends to follow in the footsteps of other famous magicians by performing in Las Vegas, Dynamo added: "I want to create a magic show in a theatre that is a million miles away from any of the Vegas shows.
"I don't want to take anything away from what they do, because it's incredible. But I just think I have quite a lot of ideas of which way to take it, which will bring magic into the 21st century and beyond."
The first episode of 'Dynamo: Magician Impossible', which features an appearance from One Direction, is to air on Watch on September 4.

The 25-year-old singer announced on 'BBC Breakfast' this morning (13.08.14) that she has become the first celebrity to sign up for the upcoming 12th series of the BBC One ballroom dancing show.
Speaking on the programme, The Saturdays singer said: "I've always wanted to be a part of the show - it looks like so much fun and the costumes are just gorgeous. I can't wait to get started.
"Like so many little girls, I used to take dance lessons when I was in primary school and I really love dancing but this is going to be so different from anything I have done with The Saturdays."
A tweet on the BBC's official 'Strictly' account also confirmed the news by posting a picture of the brunette beauty.
In a message attached to the image, they wrote: "She's always brought sparkle to Saturdays so welcome @FrankieTheSats the first celebrity in our 2014 line-up! (sic)"
Frankie is not the only member of The Saturdays to have competed on 'Strictly' as her bandmate Rochelle Humes took part in a Christmas special last year and a Children In Need special in 2010.
