EXCITING NEWS!!

Hello my lovely ones! This is just a quick one to let you know something very exciting that has happened to me recently. I have been offered a four-week internship at Now Magazine Online starting on Tuesday! I'm having to get all my arrangements sorted at the moment, but don't think I've forgotten your needs - oh no! I'm going to try my level best to keep updating here as usual, and who knows - maybe I'll even be able to offer you a few little teasers from work (depending on if I'm allowed to do that)!

Onwards, gossip hounds!

The Professional Equivalent of 'Never Liked You Anyway, And You're Crap In Bed'?

According to Cheryl Cole's mum Joan, it was Cheryl's decision not to return to the X Factor in the UK after her dismal reception in the US. Joan says "She was terrified Simon had become her puppet master and she was being turned into his new Sinitta - Simon's little pet. She is determined to carve out a career without him. He'll have to come up with something special for them to even speak again."

To be fair, ending up like Sinitta would be a fate worse than death, but the whole situation reeks of trying to limit the humiliation levels. By taking ownership of not coming back to the X Factor Cheryl can try to reclaim some autonomy and individuality away from the Cowell talent-making machine, but at the risk of cutting off her nose to spite her face.

You know when two people break up, and then one of them hacks into the other's facebook account and leaves messages like "I only went out with you out of pity" and " your willy is tiny anyway"? Yeah. That's what this looks like right now.

Kim Kardashian to lose a K...

Kim Kardashian has reportedly revealed, much to her mother Kris's chargrin, that she would like to change her surname to Humphries when she marries her fiance (who coinci-creepily is also called Kris) in a few months' time. Kim's mum says "I don't think she should take his name and be Kim Humphries. I think she needs to be Kim Kardashian because she's worked so hard to get where she is."

Everyone seems to think that it's some kind of crazy anti-self move by Kim to want to take her husband's name, but really, how big a deal is it? She can still use Kardashian for work if she wants, and if it means something to her to take his name, then I say go for it. As long as it's her decision and not his, then I see no problem. Step off, mother Jenner...after all, you switched to Kardashian when you got married, and then to Jenner when you married Bruce Jenner...

Adele Back In The Studio Already!

Adele has revealed that she is back in the studio recording the follow-up to her hugely successful second album, 21. The singer has revealed that the new record will have a diferrent feel, saying;

"I have five tracks ready to go. One of them is quite upbeat - a real 'girl power' type of song. I plan to do a cover of the INXS hit 'Never Tear Us Apart' which is probably my fave song of all time. The whole album will have quite a live feel to it."

Sounds pretty good to me! It's going to be good to hear some new tracks from the vocal monster, as 21, lovely as it is, is getting to be somewhat overplayed these days...

To Bitch, or Not to Bitch?

Daniel Radcliffe has come out and placed himself firmly on the pro-bitch side of the Harry Potter debate. Daniel is adamant that that Molly Weasley's famous "Not my daughter, you bitch!" line from her final fight with Bellatrix Lestrange should remain in the final film.

There are concerns over the use of the word due to the huge young fanbase of the franchise, but it seems that the stars of the show do not think that it will be detrimental to the audience.

Julie Walters, who plays Mrs. Weasley, agrees,saying "[Mrs Weasley] has one of the most famous lines in the books. Everyone wrote to me and said, 'I hope they're not going to take that out, are they?"

Personally, I hope that they keep the line in. It was so emotive in the novel, and if they take it out it will water down the force of emotion felt, making the whole scene fall flat...

Mariah's Kids Have Typically Self-Obsessed Names.

 
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have announced the manes of their two little bundles of joy to the world. Typically for Mariah, we were teased with a hint yesterday, when it was announced that both names start with an 'M'...M for Mariah. Of course.

So, drumroll please......welcome to the world babies Monroe Cannon and Moroccan Scott Cannon!

Morrocan is named for the country in which Nick proposed to Mariah, and also for the top level of Mariah's Manhatten penthouse, whch is called 'The Moroccan Room'. The couple will refer to their son as Roc for short. Scott is both Nick's middle name and his grandmother's maiden name, which is a fairly standard convention for a lot of families to follow.

Monroe is named for Marilyn Monroe, who Mariah says has always been an inspiration to her. Like Mariah (and me), Monroe has no middle name; one is enough for those amongst us who have that special appeal...
