Stephanie Pratt for Celebrity Big Brother?


Stephanie Pratt has signed up for 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The outspoken American could follow in the footsteps of her brother Spencer Pratt and his wife Heidi Montag - who appeared on the show in January 2013 - by entering the famous reality TV house in August and producers are hoping she'll be just as controversial as her sibling and his spouse.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "She is sexy but also knows how to be controversial.
"Despite being American she has enough experience of British TV to know just what producers are after.
"And it gives bosses the perfect excuse to bring Spencer and Heidi back over to support her."
Stephanie rose to fame along with Spencer and Heidi on MTV reality show 'The Hills' and she has now become a staple on 'Made in Chelsea' after dating lothario star Spencer Matthews.
'CBB' bosses will be hoping the blonde starlet opens up about her troubled past which includes a conviction for drink-driving.
Stephanie is just the latest name linked to the new series of 'CBB', following rumours Hollywood actor Gary Busey and 'Gogglebox' star George Gilbey could appear on the Channel 5 reality show.
Katie Price's cheating husband Kieran Hayler has reportedly turned down a £200,000 offer to enter the house.

Dean Fagan won’t watch Corrie kisses


Dean Fagan won't watch his steamy 'Coronation Street' kisses.
The actor's alter-ego Luke Britton is set to lock lips with a drunken Carla Barlow (Alison King) in tonight's (07.07.14) episode of the ITV soap, but Dean admits he won't be tuning in because he doesn't want to upset his girlfriend, Louise Pridding.
He told The Sun newspaper: "My girlfriend ridicules me about playing a ladies' man. Of course I'm not like that in real life but it's still going to be weird seeing your partner chatting up other girls and I'd never force her to watch me doing a kissing scene.
"We don't watch 'Coronation Street' together for that reason. If it's just pure dialogue I would ask what she thought -- she's my biggest critic and I really appreciate her opinion.
"But we'll most likely give the scenes with Carla a miss!"
Dean - who took on the role of mechanic Luke six months ago - also receives plenty of feedback from his father Lee, who is a real-life mechanic.
He added: "He lets me know if I'm doing something wrong!"
The hunky actor's 'Corrie' contract was recently extended and he admits it's a "privilege" to appear on the soap.
He said: "It's a privilege and a pressure to get it right, but it's a fantastic feeling and I'm very grateful to the show for letting me be on it."

Vanessa Feltz backs Judy Murray for Strictly


Vanessa Feltz would love to see Judy Murray on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 52-year-old star - who competed on the BBC ballroom dancing competition last year - hopes speculation that tennis ace Andy Murray's mother will appear on the new series is true as she thinks Judy would be great viewing.
She told Closer magazine: "She's a woman with an eye for an attractive gentleman and is not averse to tweeting saucy comments about the objects of her lust so, if the 'Strictly' bosses pair her with a hot professional, there's no doubt the chemistry would explode.
"After my stint on the show last year, I pray the whispers are true because Judy, in a sprinkling of tinsel and spray tan, will be a tonic for the nation. Could she end up scooping the top prize? Let's just say her Wimbledon champ son is a chip off the old block."
Vanessa danced on the show with James Jordan and was booted off the programme in the second week of the 2013 series.
Abbey Clancey went on to win the show.

Chloe Sims hates her boobs


Chloe Sims hates her boobs.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star has revealed she doesn't like her breast implants and would take them out, however, she worries about complications during surgery.
She explained: "I hate my 34E boobs and am naturally a B-cup. I'd love to get them taken out, but I'm a mum and I don't want to put myself through a full-on procedure. It's dangerous and I have a daughter."
The 32-year-old star is renowned for her sizeable breast implants, teeth veneers and love of Botox, but Chloe is seeing benefits from appearing more natural.
She told Closer magazine: "I've not had Botox in five months now. I've wanted to but I haven't found time. In fact, everyone says my face appears softer without Botox and I look younger. That's a bonus!"
Chloe is currently dating 'TOWIE' co-star Elliott Wright and has praised him for restoring her faith in men.
She said: "I've always got on well with Elliott. And he's a hands-on dad, which I find really attractive. In Marbella recently, I was ill with bronchitis and Elliott stayed at my bedside when he could have gone out with the lads - he's been my saviour.
"Before him, I was so over men, but he's one in a million. He's restored my faith in men."

Melanie Sykes will ‘never marry again’


Melanie Sykes has claimed she will "never marry again".
The TV star - whose split from husband Jack Cockings was confirmed in January - has insisted while her breakup hasn't put her off relationships for life, she doesn't think she'll walk down the aisle for a third time.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper's Fabulous magazine: "No, I'll never marry again.
"But I said that the first time, so ... [I've not been put off relationships], not a bit, because that was just one particular relationship."
Melanie filed for divorce a month after she was given a police caution for common assault, but she claimed the whole situation hasn't "scarred" her.
She added: "What's important is me and that it has not scarred me into some dark, scared person.
"I do think that's [down to] my age as well. It would have properly floored some people but it hasn't me."
Despite the divorce not putting her off the idea of relationships, she still insisted she has no "interest" in finding another partner.
She said: "I doesn't interest me at all. Now [or] ever, I don't know. I just don't want to get into that.
"I'm going out a lot more and I'm meeting lots of people so that's nice. It's just wicked! I'm free as a bird!"

Tom Jones will help choose The Voice judges


Sir Tom Jones will be allowed to choose his fellow judges on 'The Voice'.
The legendary pop star admitted he missed Kylie Minogue after the singer decided to quit the show, but revealed he will "have a say" in the decision-making regarding her replacement.
He told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I'll miss Kylie. She's lovely. There's quite a few people who could replace her and I have a say when they put a name forwards.
"I can say if I like that or don't like that. There are quite a few names on the table."
Meanwhile, Tom recently confirmed the remaining judges - including will.i.am and Ricky Wilson - were "in talks" with show bosses to see which of them will return for another series.
He added: "We're in talks at the moment to see who will do it again.
"It's a shame Kylie can't come back but I'm not sure about will.i.am, but I hope Ricky will come back.
"I'd love to return for another season."
However, it was recently reported that the show's bosses were becoming "desperate" because of the fear Kylie won't be the only judge to quit.
A source previously claimed: "The bosses are desperate to sign someone brilliant to replace Kylie. But the first question they are asked at every meeting is: 'Who else is involved?'
"Not being able to say for sure is a problem."

Andy Jordan’s tears over Louise


Andy Jordan admits he cried breaking up with Louise Thompson.
The 'Made in Chelsea' star tried hard to avoid the embarrassment of crying on TV when he filmed his emotional break-up with Louise and just narrowly managed to avoid tears by running into a nearby toilet.
He told We Love Pop magazine: "I tried my best to avoid it. When I was breaking up with Louise I came really close but I went and cried in the loo. I got to the lip-wobble and I was like, 'Cut!' "
Andy prefers dating low-maintenance women and isn't easily wooed by girls who wear lashings of make-up and don sexy dresses.
He said: "I'm not too fussed, I don't care if your hair is perfect or if you have loads of make-up on. Clean is good - a shower here and here. But I don't give a monkeys if you aren't wearing high heels or tight clothes. I like comfy girls."
The stars of the E4 show have been criticised for being rich and pampered, but Andy insists money doesn't buy happiness.
He said: "I don't believe in money as a form of happiness and it often breeds unhappiness. If you become spoilt you lose sight of what's good in life."

Tom Jones hints will.i.am could leave The Voice


Sir Tom Jones hinted will.i.am could leave 'The Voice'.
The iconic singer is keen to remain a coach on the TV singing competition, although he admitted he wasn't "sure" if his producer co-star would be back for another series, following the departure of Kylie Minogue.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: "We're in talks at the moment to see who will do it again.
"It's a shame Kylie can't come back but I'm not sure about will.i.am, but I hope [Ricky Wilson] will come back.
"I'd love to return for another season."
However, it was recently reported that the show's bosses were becoming "desperate" because of the fear Kylie won't be the only judge to quit.
A source previously claimed: "The bosses are desperate to sign someone brilliant to replace Kylie. But the first question they are asked at every meeting is: 'Who else is involved?'
"Not being able to say for sure is a problem.
"The other issue is that they are approaching people who they think would have good banter with Will, Tom and Ricky. If they should decide to bow out, our casting directors might have to think again. It's a complicated jigsaw puzzle."
