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
