Coleen Rooney Is Luckier than You (And She Gets To Shag Wayne!)

TIME to catch up with Coleen and Wayne Rooney. Thanks to Hello!, here’s Coleen:

“Like most people, I’ve come down to earth with a bit of a bump after all the excitement of Christmas and the New Year. This gloomy January weather doesn’t help but I’m not complaining because I was lucky enough to get my dose of winter sunshine on a New Year Family Disney cruise to the Caribbean.”

Miranda Kerr’s Organic Breast Milk: A Warming Photo

Katie Price Divorce Statement In Full: Harvey Price Is The Man Of The House Again

KATIE Price’s chocolate sock love affair with Alex Reid is over. Will he jilt her at the lawyers? Will she scape his bed line and launch a signature fragrance? Will Harvey Price win?

THE STATEMENT FROM KATIE PRICE

Alex and I have had a number of difficulties over the past few months. I accept that these were in part caused by my marrying too quickly – we all make mistakes and this was one. However, Alex changed from the man I fell in love with and some of his behaviour became difficult for me to understand and caused issues. I have tried to help him with these issues but they have put a considerable strain on our relationship.

Zachary Jackson Levon: Elton John’s African Kids And A Sperm Shake

ELTON John cradles Zachary Jackson Levon in his arms and the years of waiting for an OK! magazine baby montage are finally at an end.

Elton says the inspiration for having a baby of their own was their failed bid to adopt Ukrainian orphans Lev and his brother Artyom.

So, surrogacy it was. Elton and David Furnish looked through a selection of “egg donor profiles”. A woman was chosen whose skin tones would set off Elton’s red robe he sports for the shoot and David’s dancing eyes.? And they had to select a surrogate. She is “very knowledgeable about natural, organic products for children, the types of nappies to use, ways to feed the baby”.

She’s a rare find in a Californian woman.

U2 Save Ireland From The IMF

IF only all Irish taxpayers could be like Bono? When he and the rest of U2 moved their publishing arm to the Netherlands in 2006 after the Government capped tax-free earnings for artists at €250,000, there was much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. But then we realised that the Irish Government had no fecking clue how to spend taxpayers’ money and would most likely have spent the U2 harvest on art, Bernie Madoff T-shirts and cake.

Michael Jackson’s Dead Perfume On Sale Soon:

MICHAEL Jackson Inc. has launched a new perfume. To connect with Jacko, his legion of fans can open the twin vials of Ebony & Ivory and dowse themselves in a rich emollient of embalming fluids with top notes of creosote over a deep base of Ronseal. Also hints of wine gum, burnt hair, Pepsi and for that added authenticity a dash of ground monkey foot. But we are wrong. The actual scent is made from the flowers that grew in his Neverland Ranch in sun-dabbled Beverley Hills.

Now the cool kids who want to remember their idol can small of Knobcone Pine, Brittlebush, Hairy Purple Bells, Blue Dicks-Ookow, Morning Glory and maybe other native Californian species.

Fur-Fancier Jodie Kidd And Leather-Clad Kimberly Wyatt Join Campaign Against Animal Testing

THE press release tells us that Jodie Kidd and Pussycat Doll / You Can Dance judge Kimberly Wyatt support the BUAV camping to end animal testing
for beauty products.

This would be the same Kimberly Wyatt who seems to have worn a fur coat (see photo) and most definitely wears leather.

And Jodie Kidd is also on board. Kidd joins the protest to protect animals from the ravages of women trying to look good:

“I think designers have to be free to create what they want to create. Fur has always been around, whether the designer has chosen to just put it on some collars and cuffs or to put it right in your face in a full outfit. I’ve always been really open about what I’ll wear when I’m working. I’m just doing my job. Us models don’t have any creative impact on what we wear anyway, so we can’t really afford to take a moral stance on anything.”

KATIE Price and Alex Reid are locked in will-they wont they divorce story. Reid tells Star readers that he and Katie have been “getting on like a house on fire”. Her house, to be specific – because Katie said she was talking with her people and arrangements for any divorce had not been finalised.

The made-for-tabloid divorce story limps on. But today it got refreshingly nasty. The Daily Star leads with:

John Travolta’s Hair Sings Jason Donovan Hits To Lull New Baby Benjamin

JOHN Travolta showcases his new baby Benjamin on the cover of Hello! – and then upstages him with his hair.

Travolta has opted for curtains, the hair-do of 1980s popstars and footballers. If you tussle his hair you can hear the strain of Jason Donovan singing Especially For You.

Kelly Preston (mum) “sailed through her pregnancy with the help of a Scientology course”. She then had a “beautiful quiet birth based on L. Ron Hubbard’s philosophy.”

Nicole Kidman’s Botox Face Moves Us (And Now Moves Itself)

NICOLE Kidman has denied using Botox. In 2007, she said her forehead and skin were as nature intended. Sure, her face looked like it has been dipped in a resin and buffed on Shane Warne’s crotch, but her kind have never been understood.

She is beautiful. She refuses to let herself go. If she did decline, we’d attack for her that. You see, Kidman has beauty, that thing we have all craved. She must not toss it away. We will not allow it. If she does not maintain her film star looks, we will question her sanity.

Peter Brandt II Explains These Stephanie Seymour Photos

WHEN we saw those photos of model Stephanie Seymour and her son, Peter Brandt II (“Designer, Art Collector, Socialite, and Model, and the eldest son of Supermodel Stephanie Seymour and Newsprint Billionare Peter Brant I”) on the beach, we thought she was with her boyfriend.

Peter is 18. He tells Gawker (via):

“I would just like to say that these pictures have been taken completely out of context, my mother and i are very close as she is with all her children. she often hugs and kisses me and my siblings in an manner that is intimate, any mother in the world does the same. that day on the beach we walked around with each other completely aware of the presence of photographers there. We have nothing to hide and with that in mind I would like to say that I am openly gay. At my age my mother and I are almost like friends and I feel open to talk to her about anything (and yes our relationship may be different because of my sexuality).”

He went on to talk of being followed by the paparazzi:

Photographers are more often than not obvious when they are there (If holding a large camera wasnt enough of a giveaway) We just accept that they exist and try to ignore them. We learn to accept that these photos may appear in the media but we do not appreciate speculation on our personal lives and any other hateful uninhibited opinions.

File under: you’re all sick.
