• Show bosses for the UK ITV show 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here' are apparently desperate to sign up Jenny Thompson, the prostitute with whom England football star Wayne Rooney paid for sex whilst his wife Coleen was pregnant, to take part in the latest season of the jungle reality programme. She is allegedly desperate to appear on the show and has promised to be extremely candid about the details of the sordid affair. A source has stated that "The top brass are desperate to get her. Imagine her talking about Wayne's bedroom habits on live television. It'll be must-see TV." The producers are also said to be keen to sign up Rhian Sugden, a follow kiss-and-tell 'celeb' who was linked to Vernon Kay after it emerged that the pair had been exchanging 'sex texts.' Looks like 'I'm A Celeb' is scraping the barrel even more than usual this year.

• Another duo with a feud next, the infamous mutual hatred between X Factor star Dannii Minogue and her ex fellow judge, the ever feisty Sharon Osbourne. Finally it looks as if someone's attempting to take the high ground as opposed to just scoring points. Dannii has spoken out about rumours that Sharon is to return to aide Louis Walsh select the contestants for his category at the 'judges' houses' stage of the competition, insisting that she is welcome back to the show. Minogue admitted that Osbourne has played a huge role in the development of the show and that it would be unfair to not acknowledge that. However, don't think this means she's ready to put the past behind them, saying "Sharon is welcome any time - just not in my dressing room." Come on ladies...get over it and put the claws away.

• Serial arrestee Lindsey Lohan has been granted a $300,000 bail after her lawyer set up an appeal on the ground of harsh treatment. This news comes after the revelations that Li-Lo admitted to failing more than one drug test which she was required to pass in order to keep herself free from jail. Speaking on her official twitter account, Lohan wrote "Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn't go away overnight. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps." Lindsey must now wear an alcohol monitoring device at all times and allow police to search her whenever requested. She will return to court on 22nd October. By the look of the snaps above, there are cheaper ways to get some passport pics done...

• The aftermath of prostitute Irma Nici's allegations that David Beckham paid her for sex, (God what is it with these stories atm?) are still being felt, with wife and overall fashionista Victoria Beckham going through "bouts of rage and humiliation." The designer is apparently feeling the strain of people gossiping behind her back and believed that after their move to the USA that these kind of tabloid stories would be left behind. Meanwhile David Beckham has vowed to track down Nici and has ordered his legal team to find her which may result in a landmark case, resulting in the Beckham's being awarded $5million in damages.

• Die hard fans of vampire series 'The Twilight Saga' should be feeling eternally relieved at news that the series' producer unveiled today. Whilst 'Summit' stayed faithful to the overall story and to the detail of the book, it has been revealed that rival bidders for the franchise, 'Paramount,' were keen to overhaul the story to develop a higher level of action and drama. According to Mark Morgan, the producer of the movies, "...one of their drafts literally had a Korean FBI agent who was hunting and tracking vampires across the coast. There was SWAT in the trees and literally it was like, ‘Red leader, read leader one′, and the vampires were picking them out of the woods. It would have been a different movie." I think we might have had a riot on our hands...

• The new trailer for the latest Harry Potter movie, 'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One' has been unveiled and looks like the most exciting yet. At 2.25 minutes long, the trailer is really cranking up the anticipation for the November 19th release and because the finale is split into two parts, it's going to be epic.

• Could Queen B be about to smash back onto the music scene earlier than anybody could have anticipated? Speculation has been mounting from Ne-Yo's news that Beyoncé knows exactly where she wants her next album to take her, and that "She's going to give you directions [like] 'Here's where I'm going, so here's where I need you to be...So this is the sound, this is the vibe; make it happen'. And I write and she likes it or she doesn't. And in this case she did, and there you have it." Increasing the rumours is producer Los Da Mystro, who last night tweeted "Listening to new B record Dream wrote....FUcKINg INSANE! WOw! She About to Kill the game again! Had to Listen again!! Yall C in 3 weeks!" So, this makes for some very exciting news, whilst he conceded that it may in fact be longer in coming later on in the evening, it would seem that B definitely has something major up her sleeve...

• After reports that she was in hot water due to her huge X Factor bill, Dannii Minogue is reportedly desperate to shed the pounds she gained whilst pregnant in time for her big X Factor comeback. Minogue wishes to look as glamourous as possible and has even chosen her initial outfit for the first live show which looks set to be huge. According to a source the new mum is concerned about looking big next to the ever slender Cheryl Cole and "...wants to blow everyone away. This could be her last year on The X Factor and she wants to go out with a bang." Furthermore, it sounds like she's serious, to ensure a tight weight loss regime, Dannii has been following a strict organic diet, cutting out wheat, dairy and meat...let's hope it's worth it...

• Girls Aloud star gone solo Nadine Coyle has revealed that her new album 'Insatiable' has been specifically written to have a storyline running through it. Coyle, who wrote much of the LP herself, has stated that she wanted "No auto tune, a full gospel choir on there, really heavy backing vocals, lyrical content that made sense - but not lyrics that only made sense to me, but could make sense to everybody listening." It's looking like we could have a very organic and different record from Coyle than the one people would have been expecting. If lead single, also titled 'Insatiable' is anything to go by, then we could be in for a treat.

• Shakira has returned with her brand new single 'Loca,' an extremely infectious Spanish infused number which also features British Hip-Hop star Dizzee Rascal. However, Shakira had originally intended to shoot its accompanying video without the rapper, but on set changed her mind and scrapped an allegedly raunchy video so that Dizzee could feature in it. We know he's not the best looker Shakira but still...The new video will show Rascal following Shakira around with a video camera as she runs riot throughout Barcelona. Shakira has warned, "UK, get ready to go Loca."

• Joe McElderry, who is gearing up to release the lead single from his debut album 'Wide Awake,' has revealed that if it wasn't for said single 'Ambitions,' the entire LP would have taken a different direction. Speaking to Radio 1's Scott Mills, McElderry stated that "It was a lot of slower songs and it was kind of like, I was enjoying it but nothing was really grabbing my attention." The single, which has received widely positive feedback shows off an alternative area to Joe's talents which he feels is a positive, saying "I was used to singing so many slow songs on The X Factor, which I don't mind - I loved singing them - but I just thought, 'I'm 19, I want to have a bit of fun on stage and I just needed a few fast songs'." We totally agree with this and look forward to seeing what other surprises are in store when the album is released on October 25th.

• Cheryl Cole is doing little to dissuade the rumours surrounding herself and 'close friend' Derek Hough after excepts of her new book 'Through My Eyes' were published in 'Hello' magazine. Quotes such as  "Derek is a sweetheart - the kind of person who makes the day more enjoyable... and that's important." are simply adding fuel to a fire that was sparked months ago when dancer Hough appeared in Cole's 'Parachute' video. For a pair that seem so keen to dismiss the relationship rumours surrounding them, it feels a little odd to have this published at this time...

• James McAvoy has claimed that he wants to 'bury' Sir Patrick Stewart's portrayal of 'Professor Xavier' in upcoming 'X-Men' prequel 'X-Men: First Class.' Speaking to MTV news, McAvoy revealed that he is looking forward to the challenge of painting the picture of Xavier's origins, saying "I'm basically going to try and bury Patrick's performance," and explained that it is interesting to discover where a character originates from and how they end up being how they are. He went on to add that he wants to move away from Stewart's portrayal at the beginning of the new movie but to get closer to it as the film progresses.

• Alex Reid is allegedly furious, once again, at his wife Katie Price/Jordan's antics. As part of a fundraising event, Price put a date with herself up for auction which was bid on, and won, by two Manchester City football players, for a combined total of £12,000. Apparently promising the two footballers a "night [they’ll] never forget" Price encouraged the men to continue bidding. Reid was under the illusion that the date would be with a regular fan and was horrified to find that his wife was reverting to her old 'Jordan' ways. To be honest, this couple should really stop airing their dirty laundry in public as it got old a long time ago...

• Finally, X Factor lovely Dannii Minogue has come under fire for the huge bill incurred by her request to have the 'Judges' Houses' stage of the competition shot in her home country of Australia, which will have to be deducted from the overall X Factor budget and created a variety of problems. The cost of such a request was sky rocketed by the need to have both presenters Dermot O'Leary and Konnie Huq flown out, as well as the 8 contestants still participating in her category and the crew to film it! Furthermore, by filming the stage in Australia the overall process took longer than the usual two days due to the need to recover from jet lag and so in total took 8. As a result, the other judges were forced to make cutbacks in their own choice of location to cater for the new Mum's demands. Let's just hope Dannii has the winning group to make up for it...
