Mark Owen: No more Mister Nice Guy (with ten different people)

2010-03-11T15:19:43Z

Mark Owen has revealed that he cheated on his long-term girlfriend Emma Ferguson with around ten women before their wedding last November. The formerly loveable Take That singer told The Sun that he had a five-year on-and-off relationship with 24-year-old accounts manager Neva Hanley, in addition to a string of drunken one night stands with other girls. Although, in fairness, he did ever so well to keep it down to ten as it's pretty obvious that there's millions of women who would walk over coals just to nibble his ear.

]]> Owen said: "I have been an idiot, a d**khead, a kn*bhead. All of the above and more. It's about me, my mistakes, nobody else is to blame. I don't know how many girls there were in all. Maybe ten.

"I have been living with the guilt. It has always been there - you carry it around with you. It held me back in my relationship with Emma. I wouldn't have done any of this if I had my time again.

"Emma is really strong and I know she will do what is right for her and the kids. I support that and I really appreciate that. She loved me - she still does love me - and I have let her down. That's the truth of it."

He claimed that he had not slept with any other girls since his wedding, adding: "I'm proud of that. I know it sounds really stupid but on our wedding day, for me the ring is really important and I want to be true to my word.

"This had to happen for me to move on. It would have always been there. I could never have been fully open with Emma, with myself, with anybody. Now I can. I can start again, that's how I feel. I wish I had realised about my drinking earlier.

"I really wanted for me and Emma to move on when we got married and not make the same mistakes. In situations like this people surprise you. Friendships and the words people send. I feel supported - an idiot like me."

Zoinks!

Katie Price uses children against Andre

2010-03-11T15:02:54Z

Oh dear. Katie and Peter continues to get incredibly messy. She's got married, he's been K.I.S.S.I.N.G. with someone. Despite the fact that Price was hopping into bed with someone with Andre barely out of the door, she appears to be going mental at the minute, with the latest rumour being that she's using her children in her battle with Peter Andre over his fling with stylist Maddy Ford.

]]> According to Heat, Price urged Junior - her 4-year-old son with Andre - to quiz his father about the relationship in a telephone conversation.

A source said: "It was awful. Junior didn't really understand what was going on and she was in the background telling him what to say. She was saying to him, 'Daddy is a liar. Look, Daddy's kissing another girl... See how Daddy treats mummy now? That girl is called Maddy - that's Daddy's girlfriend. Ask him about Maddy, Junior'.

"The picture she waved in front of Junior's face was of Peter and Maddy together in his video, but Junior didn't understand that - he just saw his dad with another woman."

They added: "He was confused, and at Jordan's request he asked Pete, 'Daddy, why did you lie?'. It was heartbreaking, and I know Pete was devastated at Junior being dragged into it. Pete kept trying to reassure Junior that he had nothing to worry about and that everything was okay. He didn't want to address the situation over the phone, but he kept saying, 'Mummy and Daddy both love you, Junior, very much. That's all that matters'. The two of them are really close, so the whole exchange really upset them both."

Bah.

After spending time in rehab. Haim said, "I started on the downers which were a hell of a lot better than the uppers because I was a nervous wreck. But one led to two, two led to four, four led to eight, until at the end it was about 85 a day -- the doctors could not believe I was taking that much. And that was just the Valium -- I'm not talking about the other pills I went through".

Quite recently, Haim appeared to have overcome his drug habit, saying: "I'm clean, sober, humble and happy."

The Florence and the Machine singer said that her relentless schedule following the success of debut album Lungs had left her feeling isolated and emotional. She told The Guardian: "In some sense you do think, like, 'What am I giving up, what am I sacrificing, for this?' I can get quite lonely. I have weepy moments."

]]> "The last time I had a proper cry was in Australia. I was sobbing alone in a hotel room. I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed, and then I fell asleep... just, like, exhaustion and doing nine hours of promo."

"I just felt really alone. And when you talk about yourself so much, it's like saying a word over and over again. It loses all meaning."

Welch added: "I could have gone and been with people but, well, I'd wanted to cry at certain points during the day, and I did cry in a photoshoot: I had to go to the toilet and just go, 'Waaargh!'"

]]> She told OK: "It's weird because a lot of people who I haven't spoken to in months have sent messages [like], 'I hope you're taking care of yourself', and sometimes I find it a bit intrusive.

"It's like, 'I haven't spoken to you in how long, and you're just randomly writing me a note telling me to take care of myself. What do you think I am? I'm fine! I'm happy'."

Lohan added: "I'm good. I'm actually in the best place I've ever been. Please, leave me be."

2010-02-25T13:19:44Z

Plans for the new series of The X Factor are said to be "up in the air" due to the judges' busy schedules. According to the Daily Mail, audition dates for the new run have not yet been finalised as panellist Cheryl Cole needs to fit the show around her tour with the Black Eyed Peas this summer.

]]> A source said: "Everything is up in the air at the moment. Cheryl has been trying to move some dates for auditions around so she can tour with the Black Eyed Peas, and [Simon] Cowell's in love!"

The insider added: "Either someone will fill in for Dannii at the auditions and she will return in some way for the live shows, or someone else will replace her entirely.

Minogue's spokesman recently confirmed that the star hopes to be part of this year's X Factor "in some capacity".

Madonna gets record deal for Jesus

2010-02-25T13:12:27Z

Madonna has apparently bagged a record deal for her model boyfriend Jesus Luz. Sorry if you thought that the headline was referring to Jesus Christ Our Lord bloke. Luz has allegedly been signed by Madonna's former label Warner and will release his first single 'We Came From Light' in May. Doesn't Madge have her own record label she could've signed him to? Anyway, according to a source (ha! That old chestnut!) "Madonna was determined to give Jesus all the help she can. She holds a lot of sway at Warner, where she had a deal until very recently. But getting him on the books wasn't completely plain-sailing."

]]> "There was a little give and take between her and execs, but a compromise was eventually settled upon."

Luz reportedly secured a two-single deal, with Warner getting first refusal on an album.

Madonna is said to have covered all of Luz's recording expenses and put him in touch with 'Frozen' remixer Victor Calderone.

"Madonna really wants Jesus's career to take off," the sourse added.

"She's been going through her Filofax and putting him in contact with as many of her influential pals as she can.

"She's worked with Victor for a very long time and he understands just what she likes. Having him rejig Jesus's tracks will give them a cool cachet which is essential to building a clubland buzz."

2010-02-22T14:57:55Z

If you believe reports, then Cheryl Cole has dumped husband Ashley after three years of marriage. I can hear you shouting "About time too!" Yep, The Sun is claiming that the Girls Aloud siren broke the news to Ashley in a text message from Los Angeles early yesterday, telling him: "Move out. It's over." It is assumed that Cheryl started considering a divorce after arriving in the States days ago, but finally made her mind up at the weekend following fresh infidelity allegations which were made against Ashley.

]]> A source said: "Cheryl has decided enough is enough and she is going to divorce him. She has told Ashley to get out of the family home because she does not wish to see him. She has no desire to hear any more excuses or explanations."

Claiming that the news will be officially confirmed within days, the insider added: "She wants to have put a statement out by the end of the week so she can start moving on. She has no desire to humiliate Ashley further and wishes to proceed in a dignified manner."

The latest scandal to hit the Coles' marriage began earlier this month when Ashley was accused of sending sex texts to two women. It was later claimed that the footballer had slept with one of the girls and further allegations have followed since then.

Jennifer Aniston's amazing sex!

2010-02-16T14:06:07Z

Jennifer Aniston is always thought of as desperately sad and unlucky in love. I can't see that being true as she's still sought after isn't she? Well, Jen-worriers, fret not. She's reportedly told her friends that she is having an "amazing" sexual relationship with Gerard Butler. According to Heat, Aniston spoke of the fling while in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for her 41st birthday. I know, I know... I couldn't believe she is 41 either. She definitely didn't have a hard paper round when she was little, eh?

]]> A source claimed: "Jen invited only her closest friends, and she was the belle of the ball. How could she be anything but on top of the world.

"She says the sex is amazing. They have great chemistry across the board - sexually and intellectually."

The source added: "In past relationships, she was always so stressed and focused on where it was going and how long they'll be together, and whether they were exclusive. But with Gerard she decided to enjoy it and not have any expectations."

Aniston is alleged to have toasted herself at the party by saying: "Here's to me! I'm happy, I'm successful, I've got great friends. And on top of it all, I'm damn hot."

Megan Fox never looks good in underwear

2010-02-16T14:00:45Z

Megan Fox has bemoaned how she looks in underwear. She's revealed that she wishes she looked more "classy" in her under garments. The Transformers star (who is believed to be in a relationship with Brian Austin Green *taps nose*) said that she is always presented as a "pin-up" when she appears in magazines. Well, in fairness, she does do a lot of pin-up work for lad's mags doesn't she?

]]> "There are some women you could put in underwear and photograph them, and it looks really classy and it doesn't necessarily provoke a pin-up image," Us Magazine quotes Fox as saying.

"But with me, it does, immediately. As soon as I'm in underwear, I'm a Vargas girl," she added, referring to curvy women featured in 1940s advertising.

Fox recently revealed that she does not trust women in the film industry because they are all too "competitive".

Vernon Kay and Tess to stick it out?

2010-02-10T14:36:16Z

Vernon Kay has admitted that his wife Tess Daly is "extremely upset" over the naughty text messages he sent to a Page 3 girl. Kay confessed to flirting with model Rhian Sugden after his secret was exposed by the press. In an interview with The Sun, Kay confirmed that he has also sent sex texts to four other girls, but promised to ditch his habit for the sake of his family. Kay: "Tess is extremely upset about this and we're working through it. But in some ways I'm glad this story has come out. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I knew it was getting silly. I'm never going to do it again and hopefully I can clear the slate clean and start again. I'm so sorry. I've been an idiot and I've let my family down."

]]> He added: "I've been stupid and daft but I'm not a sex pest. I've only done this with four or five girls and I've known them all well - they've been friends or work colleagues. I know a single guy can get away with things like that but I'm married and I understand this is off limits."

It seems that Tess doesn't intend to split with her husband.

A source said: "This did cause a bit of drama, but Tess and Vernon are not going to split over this."

"They are together at home and Vernon feels like an idiot because he didn't come clean to Tess about the messages and now it is all over the papers.

"He is so sorry and really embarrassed about the whole thing - it was never his intention to hurt his family."

Katie Price to die in a car crash?

2010-02-10T14:32:09Z

Katie Price can be a little bit odd at times. Sometimes she comes across as reasonably warm but defensive... and at other times... well... she says the strangest thing. The latest thing to pop from her mouth unannounced is that she thinks she might die in a car crash like Princess Diana. Now, I'm pretty sure she's not comparing herself to Diana, former Princess of Wales, but it is very odd to make any sort of comparison... isn't it?

]]> The glamour model told LBC 97.3 that she would not be surprised if her death was similar to that of the former royal, who died in Paris in 1997.

Price said: "What do I fear? Dying because I don't know how I would die.

"Sometimes I think it might be a Diana moment because the way the press chase me outside my house and try and run me off the road."

She added: "It wouldn't surprise me if it's a car crash and I always say that."

How very, very morbid.
