KERRY KATONA DUMPED BY "CAN" ASSOCIATES

Earlier this week, the news broke that Kerry Katona had been ditched by her agent CAN Associates (who also look after the likes of Peter Andre, Amy Childs, Elen Rives). But this afternoon Kerry hit back at these claims – saying it was her decision to leave the well-known agency headed up by Claire Powell.

It was reported that Kerry had been ‘dumped’ after a six-hour drinking binge – but in true celebrity fashion, Kez took to Twitter to point out this was not the case and that she actually thought her ‘integrity had been compromised’ by the agency, which had led to her decision to leave.

She tweeted, “Contrary to recent press reports, I was not ‘dumped’ by CAN Associates. It was my decision to leave, as on a professional level my career was taking a direction that I did not want, nor did I feel was appropriate. Furthermore on a personal level, I felt that my integrity had been compromised, as it was with Nicola Partridge before me. I have not taken any drugs in the last year and a half - and if anyone claims otherwise, I will sue without hesitation.” Wow!
The news that Kerry and Claire Powell had decided to end their working relationship came late on Thursday night and CAN have released a statement too, saying, “We can confirm that we no longer manage Kerry Katona.”

But it was just Tuesday night when Kezza was photographed out and about on a drinking session – and she was looking just a little bit ropey as she left the Mair Fair Hotel in the early hours. And although CAN haven’t made clear why they have parted from their well-publicised client, Kerry has obviously felt the need to make very clear it was all down to her. Ooh er – sounds like this could get complicated. Let’s see how this unfolds, eh…

Kim Kardashian is making Kris Humphries sign a PRE-NUP !!!!!!

And who said romance is dead? Kim Kardashian appeared on Jay Leno’s The Tonight Show where she talked pre-nups and reality weddings…
 
Kim and basketball player Kris Humphries got engaged last month and we’ll be able to see exactly how he popped the question in the next series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. We bet it’s going to be deadly romantic… 
 
However, speaking to host Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, it seems the reality TV princess has her head screwed on and is making sure that things don’t get messy if things ever were to go belly-up (it’s Hollywood after all!).
 
Jay Leno said, "Let me ask the most personal question that anyone can ask people who grew up in Beverly Hills. Is there a pre-nup? Do you talk about that?"
 
Kim answered, "We're really open and honest. My father made me sign contracts for literally everything from getting a car to not growing up too fast. I think it's the smart thing to do for me and him. I don't think it takes away from any love or anything like that. I think it's just a smart thing we both mutually agreed on."
 
Kim’s sister Khloe has previously spoken about her own pre-nup, saying, "I don't care if you make $5 or $5 million, in this day and age. People are crazy, you never know. And when you have businesses together, like we do, you have to protect yourself. It doesn't mean you don't love them." We guess it actually makes sense…
 
But back to Kim and Jay… when he asked whether the marriage ceremony would be aired on TV for her millions of fans to watch, she said: “We haven’t made that decision yet. We're done filming season six of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. We have to figure out when season seven will start or if we'll go back to New York and if it's something we want to put out there.
 
“I do show so much of my life and I love doing that. I think the viewers and fans love seeing that part and how open we are but that's a personal decision. We haven't made up our minds on that yet.”
 
The couple are due to get married at the end of the summer.

ESSEX BARS/CLUBS REVIEW WEEK 1 MISSOULA AND CIROC (FORMERLY BRANNIGANS)

The Review

So last night I snubbed an invite to the SBTV launch party attended by everyone from my best friend Shola Ama to Keri Hilson, in favour of a quiet night out at a few bars in Romford, Essex with close friends. Im currently filming my own reality show and for the last few weeks opposed to filming, I've been sitting in meetings, grrr!! So obviously I jumped at the chance at a nice night out drinking!

So, the night began in Missolua and after a few cocktails we decided to head over to Ciroc (formerly Brannigans) for a few pints......Yes I was on the pints last night lol. Generally, I find the bar a really cool place, the majority of people are nice and it kind of has a 'anything goes' atmosphere, and as well as having great promotions the staff are really friendly. It's actually the same vibe I get when I go out locally in Brick Lane or Soho.

Now, I'm not blowing my own trumpet, but working in the media industry does give me the advantage of some great perks....normally having the option to be able to go anywhere I want, but I'd happily swap a 'Press night' for a local night any day of the week, just because im not all about the “Show” like most people in the industry!!

We arrived at Ciroc and all 4 of us were having a great night! We said hello to Jason, the guy that promotes and runs the night who is always a plesure to talk to, and carried on chatting and dancing together.

After only having two drinks, my friend was approached by one of the bouncers from the door and asked to remove his coat!! WTF??? Since when are you not allowed to wear a jacket inside?? I've only ever had a one problem with a member of door staff in my life, that being the notorious rudeness of one lady at G-A-Y, so I was shocked to find something like this happening here!

Anyway, him being totally in the right replied “No”, as would I or anyone else I know for that matter! Now, we're not just talking a shitty old jacket or some hideous Primark disaster seen on 50 other people in the high street, we're talking a brand new All Saints Leather bomber jacket that was totally apart of his outfit! So baring in mind we came in with our jackets on, walked past all of the doormen to get in, walked past them numerous times whist in the club and also spoke to this particular guy whilst outside..... Why the need now to take our coats off???

We all had one more drink before the bouncer came over and told my friend he had to leave through the BACK DOOR!!! He was ushered to the side like he has just caused a fight or insulted someones mother, and removed from the building all of this down to the fact he would not take his coat off!! As he was driving he wasn't even drinking alcohol! Is this for real?? I'm pretty damn sure it's not some difference between the Counties or something, but I did check the dresscode which is “Gay Friendly”. It didnt seem very friendly to us all last night! When we're out in London we go to bars and clubs wearing leather jackets, blazers or any other type of jacket as part of our outfits all the time and it would never be questioned or cause us to be removed from a venue, so why did it happen last night?

This matter aside, I've always had great night at Ciroc and even invited celebrity friends along as it’s a real 'No hassle' kind of place, so Im not saying I wouldn’t go back again but it does make me question the authority that door staff have, or think they are entitled to these days??? Should they really be able to treat people in this way and ruin what could have potentially turned into a totally amazing night? I ask myself, is this kind of behaviour to cover up some sort of hate in themselves? A longing to fulfill the need of being able to tell people what to do because of their own insecurities?

Have you ever had any problems like this???? Let me know what you think of this matter and ill be sure to add the best comments to my video diary! Or catch me on TWITTER just CLICK HERE

Former Page 3 Model Dies Of Cancer At The Age Of Just 43

Former Page 3 girl Suzanne Mizzi has died following a battle with ovarian cancer. She was just 43.

The mother-of-two passed away at St Joseph's hospice in Hackney, East London on Sunday following a year long fight against the disease.

The Maltese-born blonde and close family friend was one of the biggest names in glamour modelling in the Eighties and went on to become a catwalk model and the face of Vivienne Westwood.

Pin-up: Suzanne Mizzi, pictured during a glamour modelling shoot in the Eighties, has died aged 43

Her husband and childhood sweetheart Frank Camilleri told The Sun: 'Suzanne was a beautiful person inside and out.

'She was a Page 3 girl, model, celebrity, artist and interior designer. She had an amazing life. We were together for 30 years.'

Her close friend and fellow Page 3 girl Samantha Fox added: 'We became great friends and stayed that way until the end. She was so bubbly and never took her lifestyle for granted.

'She was a natural beauty and my favourite Page 3 girl. But she also had a big heart and was always there for me as a friend when I needed her through the years.'

Childhood sweetheart: Mizzi with her husband Frank Camilleri, who she was with for over 30 years

Mizzi and and Camilleri had two children together, son Geo, seven, and daughter Sienna, six.

She leaped to fame in 1984 when she made her glamour modelling debut aged 17.

Standing at 5ft 4, she won over male fans with her 34-24-34 figure.

Within six months, her popularity rapidly ascended and posed for 26 calendars.

Aged just 21, she signed a lucrative £400,000 contract to front her own lingerie range for high street chain Dorothy Perkins.

Working mum: Mizzi at a memorial service for Alexander McQueen at St Paul's Cathedral last September

Mizzi managed to succeed where many Page 3 girls do not and made the crossover into catwalk modelling, quitting topless shoots in 1988.

In the early Nineties, she became the face of Vivienne Westwood and signed for top model agency Storm.

At the height of her fame, an insurance company insured her body for £11million.

But after turning her back on modelling, Mizzi attempted a singing career in the group Wildflowers in the early Noughties.

Unfortunately her singing career didn't take off - which she blamed on the record company - so she turned to one of her first loves - art.

Moving over: Mizzi managed the switch from glamour to fashion modelling, becoming the face of Vivienne Westwood in the early Nineties

Becoming an artist and interior designer, she sold abstract paintings for up to £10,000.

Reflecting on her Page 3 past in a 2000 interview: 'When I think of my Page 3 days it is like seeing another person's life.

'Topless modelling didn't bother me. I thrived on the attention. I'd jet off all over the world and stay in top hotels. I was treated like a movie star. 

'Ten years ago, I gave up modelling to be a singer and songwriter. For five years, my savings kept me going. But then the money ran out. Suddenly I was on the dole claiming £77 a week.'

Glamourous: Mizzi at the Rudolph Valentino Awards in 1999

Suzanne was a lovely kind person and i cant help but feel for her husband and young children left behind.Suzanne was a fine figure of a celebrity and page 3 model that lived a loving life and was married for over 30 years something thats not heard of these days.RIP

XOXO

One Direction are filming a tv documentary for ITV2.

The X Factor runners up are currently in Sweden, where they will be recording their debut album for the next couple of months.  A camera crew is capturing the recording process and will continue to film them when they make their music video for debut single "Everything About You".

The documentary follows a new trend of 'pop docs' on the channel, which has previously broadcast fly on the wall shows following Olly Murs, JLS, The Saturdays and Wonderland.

A source told Celebritain.com "the lads are ecstatic about getting their own tv special.  They know the show will give the single a huge launch, and they can't wait for their fans to see it.  If it's a hit, it could turn into a full series like The Saturday's show".

The lads will be back in the UK for the release of the track, and will spend their summer performing at a number of outdoor pop music festivals, which are yet to be announced.

The album will follow in November to coincide with a tour and a performance on X Factor.

Insidious My Movie Review!!!

“Choo, choo!” screamed Insidious as it was the little movie that could but couldn’t quite get there. Despite this, I enjoyed the movie.
Insidious follows Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Renai Lambert (Rose Byrne) after they move their family into a really big, quaint home. Shortly after moving into their new home, strange things start to happen that would, without a doubt, send chills down the spine of even the most bravest souls. Trouble starts when something starts to stalk Dalton (Ty Simpkins), the Lambert’s oldest son, in the dark corners of the attic and his bedroom.
After reading numerous reviews about how the first half of the film was praised and the second half fell apart, I would have to agree with those assessments. For one, I thoroughly enjoyed the first half as it was truly a mystery and had me on edge waiting for the next scary thing to happen, not to mention the small glimpses of the “creature” here and there. Make no mistake, there is more than one thing wandering in the dark to be afraid of. The “creature” itself can be enough to keep people up at night, that is, until much later in the film (more on that later).

Being that this film was also produced “from the makers of Paranormal Activity“, it was no wonder that there were quite a few tell-tale signs that had the makings of an Oren Peli production, even though, to date, most know him for Paranormal Activity 1 and 2. Still, for some reason, there were definitely a few things that screamed his name. I’m not saying that it was a bad thing, however, it just made me lean over to my friend and whisper in his hear ear some of my, “I bet’s”. You know, the ‘I bet this is what ‘s going to happen.” Maybe I am just one of those people who look into things too much? Either way, some of my calls were spot on.
Nowadays, it is hard to come by a genuinely good horror movie, let alone a good haunted house flick, but Insidious certainly came very close with eerie noises that go bump in the night and that tension that is built to have you wondering whether or not something is going to jump out at you and scare the living daylights out of you. Sure there were a lot of those, but there were also a lot of moments that made you giggle and laugh. A sign of things to come? Perhaps. One thing I thought was a little ridiculous was the creature’s bloody hand print found on Dalton’s sheets. Ok, cue freak out moment. Nope, instead Renai gives her husband Josh an ear-full about coming home late from work. After the argument, she hands him the bloody sheet to show him that sh’e not crazy and that weird thingshave been happening and storms out of frame. And get this, he still thinks his wife is imagining things and doesn’t believe her! Speaking of the bloody hand print, it seemed to be methodically placed on the sheets and reminded me of those Halloween decorations that you put on a window or a white wall. In other words, it wasn’t very convincing.

The story itself is one that would make a couple of people cringe or scoff at. This is where the second half of the movie starts to take over and things start to go a little downhill. When things start to take a turn for the worse, one does what any normal person would do, call for help. That help, however, came in the form of Specs (Leigh Whannell, also the film’s writer) and Tucker (Angus Sampson), your local ghost hunters with contraptions galore straight out of the lab of Dr. Egon Spengler. In a movie where it seemed as if the filmmakers wanted a full-on terror assault on the audience, they sure did take a step backward and tried to provide the audience with what seemed to be, dare I say it, comic relief. I’m not saying that comic relief is bad but by making these characters complete tools and bickering gadget freaks I have to say that it had me rolling my eyes on more than one occasion. I understand the role of these characters as they are the help that probably most people would seek out after experiencing unexplained phenomena, but these characters should have been represented in a more respected fashion for the sake of taking the film a little more serious (see, Poltergeist and The Entity, who also stars Barbara Hershey who plays Josh’s mother in Insidious) .
Along with the ghost investigators, comes Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) who, in my opinion, never seems to fail and can deliver on whatever is thrown at her. It is her character, a psychic, who deems the strange happenings as a result of, wait for it…. no seriously, wait for it until you see it. I don’t want to be the one to ruin it for anyone even though I’m sure you can read about it elsewhere on the internet. Still, it is here where the movie takes a turn for the worse as an explanation is given, thus taking away from the mystique of the film. In my opinion, mystery is what keeps an audience intrigued and when that mystery is gone, it leaves little room for post-film discussions. Everything was right there in front of you, what you see is what you get, not much room for theorizing or hypothesis. It is moments like this where I think the filmmakers think they are catering to an unintelligent audience and just want to throw everything at us, in our faces at that. However, it may been necessary for the end result of the film. Still, I think a different course could have been taken but I understand the need for a tinge of originality.
After this explanation, too much is given away and that “creature” that was mentioned earlier, well, we get to see a lot of it towards the end of the film. Revealing too much of something takes away that fear factor and the mystery that intrigued me. As creepy as I thought this creature was, towards the end of the movie I found myself shrugging when it was revealed in too much detail. Showing it in glimpses and in shadow was where it “shone”, this kept me wondering and being allowed to use my imagination. 

As i said above, I still enjoyed the film and thought it was fun with some truly creepy scenes that could keep some up at night. There were some pretty fantastic visuals and shots that were quite impressive as well as an eerie soundtrack by Joseph Bishara, who also played the creature, that lent a hand to some of the tension and suspense. Another thing to look forward too is the limited use of CGI and the use of good old-fashioned practical make-up effects. Oh, and no 3D!
It is unfortunate that director James Wan didn’t stick to his guns and seemed unsure as to what kind of movie he wanted this to be as it turned from supernatural-thriller into fantasy-horror by the end. What’s also unfortunate is that horror has become a sort of spectacle to a branch of comedy where kids nowadays go to the movies to watch a horror film for fun and laughs. Aren’t horror movies made to scare? This is a reality of the age we live in, in that everything has been done and seen. It seems that nowadays it is simply harder to scare people.
Insidious seemed to have too many hands dipped into one pot and it was hard to tell as to who’s vision came across in the film, unless of course it was a cluster of ideas stirred in said pot and materialized onto the screen. Taking a few cues from classics such as Poltergeist, Insidious fell short from being a pretty good horror film, but would not go so far as to call the movie terrible. I guess it would fall somewhere in between where I would simply say that it was [lifts shoulders up and waves finger from side to side] “Egh! It was OK!” 


Hope you guys enjoyed

Sarah Harding Admits To Cosmetic Surgery At Bloody Last!!!

Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding has opened up about her recent experimentation with cosmetic surgery - and the 29-year-old singer admits she made a big mistake.

Talking to Fabulous magazine Sarah reluctantly confessed to getting lip fillers, “Ok, let’s put this to bed. It’s not something I’m going to be trying again, or anything I would recommend to anyone else. But yeah, around Christmas I got a little bit experimental and decided to have some fillers in my lips. Clearly that was a big mistake.”

Sarah decided to try the procedure because she’d been feeling insecure about turning 30, “It was a case of approaching my 30s and not feeling very confident about that. I think most women have those insecurities as they head towards 30. It’s something that was on my mind a lot. And they do say if you’re going have anything that’s about the right age to do it. I always thought prevention was better than cure. It was a silly thing to do.”

“It was a really distressing time. I had a bad reaction to the filler, which made it worse. Thankfully, my lips have gone back down now and everything’s OK. I’ve always said I’ll try anything once, but I definitely learned my lesson now. I think it’s very easy to go too far.”

David Beckham In L.A Car Crush :-(

David Beckham is unharmed (phew!) after being involved in a car accident.

According to reports Goldenballs crashed into the back of another vehicle that had broken down. Becks was driving his black Cadillac SUV along the busy 405 freeway in Southern California when he collided with a gold Mitsubishi in a car pool lane. While David sustained no injuries, the other driver involved in the accident was taken to a local hospital after complaining of neck pain. It’s not thought that pregnant Victoria was in the car at the time, but according to some reports, oldest son Brooklyn was with his dad.
 
Police offers attended the scene but as yet have not issued any traffic tickets and they did not arrest Beckham either. 

Becks to the rescue

Last time David hit the headlines over a road incident, he came to the rescue of a stranded driver who’d broken down at a roundabout.

Back in February Paul Long told how the football star helped him out, “We were on the A10 roundabout, which was pretty dangerous, and had been stuck there for about 10 minutes. Eventually I saw a car pull over in the distance and a man in a hoodie got out. He pulled the hood down and as he got nearer to the car I realised it was David Beckham. My instinctive reaction was to say: 'You're David Beckham'. He asked if we were OK and I said we'd broken down and could he push us to the side. When we'd pushed the car to safety - and I have to say another man stopped to help by this point - he asked if we were OK and I said: 'David Beckham, I love you, mate'. All the way through he was smiling. He got us out of a sticky situation, it could have been quite nasty."

Cheryl Cole At-Last Confirmed As US X Factor Judge

And with one tweet from Cheryl Cole's PR team the news we already pretty much knew anyway is now official - Cheryl Cole WILL be a judge on the US X Factor!

The tweet from Supersonic PR simply reads: "It's official. Cheryl Cole is confirmed as a judge on The US X Factor"

And with that one casual message, so ends months and months of speculation about Cheryl's role on the US version of the show.

So what has Cheryl got to say about her new job? "I'm so excited to be taking part in the American version of The X Factor." Meanwhile Simon Cowell is seems just as happy that she's on board, "I'm thrilled for Cheryl. She is massively excited about this show, and has been fantastic to work with. She is also a complete brat. Most importantly, this girl can spot talent."

So what do you think, are you happy that Cheryl's flying the flag for us Brits on the panel alongside Simon? Do you think it's weird to have UK judge on an American show? Or are you simply relived that at last all the is she/isn't she gossiping is finally over?

Imogen Thomas 6 Month Affair With "Family" man Ryan Giggs!!!!!!

PREMIER League star Ryan Gigs gagged The Sun after he was found romping with busty Big Brother babe Imogen Thomas behind his wife’s back.
The love rat got lawyers to ban everyone from naming him despite pals of lads’ mag model Imogen saying he had told her she was the love of his life. Even his agent admitted to being “shocked” at the secret six-month fling – which has seen the pair meeting up at a string of luxury hotels.
Yesterday Imogen, who appeared in the seventh Big Brother series and was voted sexiest ever housemate, admitted being at the same hotels as the player but claimed she was either meeting her mum or attending “business meetings”. Asked who the late evening business meetings were with, she smiled and said: “That’s confidential.” When we pressed her about being spotted tiptoeing in and out of hotel rooms, she said: “I have no comment. My private life is my private life.” She then zoomed off in her sports car.
Last night Ryan Gigs said of the revelations: “I’m shocked. This is incredible. I can’t believe it. He’s such a family man.
“I don’t know what to say, knowing the closeness of his family.” (The Sun)
Would the player’s agent really make those comments? If he did he would surely not be the player’s agent for much longer!

So basically everything Ryan has been saying is bullshit!!!! He is the guy that's not be able to keep it in his pants!!!I'm not a massive fan of Imagen but I truly think it's unfair she's getting all the stick so there you go Ryan you've been OUTTED!!!!!
Xoxo

The Friendship Blog From Sisters To Strangers

“True friends stab you in the front”- Oscar Wilde

It’s never easy to deal with betrayal, more so if the person concerned is a close friend. You may wonder why I chose this topic and this quote, especially when the International Friendship Month is coming to a close. I don’t know the reason myself, but there was something about this friendship quote that acted as the hook. I felt that betrayal is also a part of this whole cycle and I think some of you experienced it as well. I felt I should write about this and try and help those unfortunate ones who had to experience this unfortunate emotion.

What do you do when you come to know that you have been betrayed by a close friend? The natural reaction is, of course, one of hurt, anger and revenge. You want to give back what you got. You feel a severe breach of trust. And you feel angry on yourself for having trusted on a friend like this. But these feelings only make it hard for you. And you end up depressed and lose focus. The trick is to let go and move on. I know it’s easier said than done, but that’s the only way you can move out of this pit that you have got yourself into.

On the other hand, if you want to break off from a friendship, do it with dignity. Tell your friend clearly why you have to part ways and why you think your friendship has to end. It’s better to talk to the person concerned than send indirect messages through common friends or try to avoid and ignore contact. The way you handle it will make it easier for you as well as your friend. Sniping the bond with mutual respect is something that is most important, for the good ol’ times’ sake, if not anything else.Friendship is all about respect and you should not compromise on that on any point of time.

Have you had a bitter experience when a friend betrayed you? Does it still hurt? Vent it out.

A unique blend of affection, loyalty, love, respect, trust and loads of fun is perhaps what describes the true meaning of friendship. But true friends are hard to find, most of the time, people land up with wrong people, who are difficult to adjust with. It has become more difficult to find a person, who can be blindly trusted and looked upon in need. With the increasing selfishness and materialist approach, betrayal of friendship has become very common and coping up with a broken friendship is quite hard, more so if you have no fault of yours. But, life goes on and you make new friends. You push away your hurtful past and learn a valuable lesson from it.

Sometimes the reason why friends betray you is just not known, which leaves you with a feeling of guilt that may be something went wrong from your side. In case of betrayal, you feel hurt, confused and angry. You demand answers as to why have you been betrayed for absolutely no fault of yours. The talks end abruptly, phone calls are not returned and there is no contact whatsoever. Hate it as much as you want, you will have to come to terms with reality and accept that things were not meant to be.

When friends let you down and are not there for you when you need them the most, it’s very hurtful. Don't be embarrassed to cry and scream. You have been hurt and you have the right to vent out your frustration and once you take out all the frustrations, you will feel a lot better, after seek out other friends and talk to them, take out time from your busy schedule and explore world again.

Once you overcome the dejection phase, you will be surprised to see that it was not very difficult. All that you needed was to make yourself understand that this friend was not meant for you. Also, remember these betrayals are experiences that taught you valuable lessons in life especially about your compatibility and your priorities in life. Make sure you do not become intolerant after all betrayals should not stop you from trusting people and making new friends.

Remember, in this world of back stabbers, there are still some people who are worth being friends with. They have to be recognized and respected for being best friends, for the lifetime.

I can count on one hand my true true best friends and they all know who they are.Thanks for being the best guys!!
