Charlotte Church attended the annual GQ Men Of The Year Awards at the Royal Opera House in Convent Garden, central London recently this month. She can breathe a sigh of relief after Gavin Henson revealed his groin is in tip-top condition. The Grand Slam hero told Wales he would be back in action in time for the autumn internationals after undergoing surgery on Friday. Rugby fans had feared his recovery period would also rule him out of the Six Nations. He quoted : "Everything down there is in perfect working order I can assure you of that!". Lucky for her that she did not suffer from a 'casualty of love'.

50 Cent has criticised A.Jolie and Brad for refusing to confirm whether or not they are a couple, because he believes the press would leave them alone if they behaved openly. Fiddy insists too much privacy can be dangerous for celebrities, as the media will go to great lengths to dig out any secrets. He said, "If you're a celebrity, people want to go on that journey with you. If you try to hide it, eventually the public's curiosity forces them to find out what's in your garbage can. When you don't allow people to have that information, they start to dig harder." He is damn right ya know. What is so difficult about admitting the truth? Just tell what people want to hear - that you left your loyal wife coz you got sick of seeing her face and would rather prefer to be close with an ugly, seductive slut whom you can't resist even though you are married. Shame on you, dude.

After too many delays to mention, Babyshambles debut album has been given a new release day of October 10 and is rumoured to be entitled 'Up The Morning'. "It's the best record I've ever made by a long shot. Always in the past, in every album review or single review, they've never ever discussed the songs or the music. I don't think they will happen this time. There're a lot of really sad songs on it, so it's quite hard mixing it, listening to those voices again and again and hearing those lyrics, but it's too late to turn back." He then began to mention that it will be like a new era, feeling like being completely part of a band. Guess there won't be any reunion of the Libs?

--The intro to Instinct Blues(W.Stripes) and the intro to Cigarette Smoke(A.Monkeys) sounds very cousin-ish --

Dublin's Samantha Mumba is to replace Rachel Hunter as the spokesmodel for lingerie giants Ultimo. Hunter has previoulsly took on the role from Penny Lancaster, who is engaged to her former husband Rod Stewart. The pop princess will soon appear in adverts for the new Per Amore range ahead of its launch later this month. This is cool. A humble and quality singer. Always thought that she is not the 'typical' artist during her debut some years back. This lady was from Roy Keane's country. No wonder she has class.

Ashlee Simpson has always wanted to embrace an acting career. Now that her sis is famous for playing Daisy Duke, Ashlee thinks she is ready for a great role of her own.
"I can't wait to do a character that is really out there," said the singer, who recently starred in her most noteworthy film role in the drama "Undiscovered". Her dream role might be that of a lethal, morally ambiguous character along the lines of those in some of her favorite movies.
"La Femme Nikita, the original, the French version is one of my favorites. That would be cool." Ashlee the main character in the A.L.I.A.S movie, anyone?

THE Mtv Video Music Awards 2005 should be renamed as "Mtv Hip/Hop RnB Music Awards 2005". The show is mostly about the likes of Nelly, R kelly, V smelly, p.u.f.f d.a.d.d.y, Kaya west, Snoopy dog, Usherer, etc...WTF? There is totally no balance in genres. Can't even watch it for 5 mins in peace without the need to switch channels due to being frustrated by the crap that is on show. Minimal exposure is given to rock and pop acts.

Ian Brown is backing Man Utd to beat Man City 5-0 in this weekend's derby! Brown, whose greatest hits album is out on September 19, said : "I'm the only Red in our family! You know my father, my brother, my brother-in-law, my 14-year-old niece and two of my uncles are all City season ticket holders. So I'm gonna say 5-0 to United!" The fact that City are currently above the Reds was of no concern to Brown either, as he added: "Yep 5-0 to United. Definitely!" Booooooooo!

Well done Mr Pierce!! If not for that bloody Van Der S-tar, stupidface cole guy could have scored the winner. 1-1 FT. As usual, a below par Chelski easily disposed Suckerland by 2 goals. For the gooners...they were embarrassed by a Maccarone winner at the riverside. Because god-knows-why, they die2 have to score a 'Jenny Frost' type of goal. If they were get a 'Pat Mok' goal, I guess Vang-er would order them to concede one back because it does not follow their philosophy. The Reds had their third clean sheet after a goal-less draw at white hart lane. Riise nearly got a 'goodness-gracious-me' volley shot goal from outside the penalty box but it crashed the crossbar and bounced away to safety. Damn I hate Jol's team. Anyways, if manyoo & gooners want to smell chelski's rosy position, they should sell Silvestre / Cygan to sunderland or newcastle because those are the clubs where they rightfully belong.

Polygamy issues have crept up lately. For sure, have as many wives/husbands as you want. As long they are ALL in agreement you can satisfy their needs(of any kind) till death do you part. You better have the bank balance of as least 1% equivalent to the wealth of Prince Harry. And the horse-power of err.. The Rock?? Or equally the 'drive' of Kate Hudson.. If you can't fill in the above needs, then just stick to your SIMS collection series.

Kim Clijsters & Roger Federer won the US Open. Both dominated their opponents in the finals. Mary Pierce was unlucky because Clijsters was more determined to prove that she is not just a 'runners up' player. And Mr Agassi had no answer to the Federer train. The men's category seems a little stale as almost 90% of them didn't learn how to defeat Roger. All of them should ask Safin for some tips. Federer = Sampras II.

Franz song "The Fallen" is just so fookin catchy that I can't stop singing/mumbling/thinking/humming it. Quite a lot of quality singles in the second half of this year. The likes of Lene Marlin, BRMC, Tatu, Cardigans, Depeche, Starsailor, etc are giving some joy to the music world that is brainwashed by hiphop/rnb (5% are acceptable) & low class so-called punk rock wannabes rubbish.

Boy George is set for a return to the charts after a 13-year break. The former Culture Club frontman briefly embarked on a solo singing career after leaving the group in 1987, before beginning a successful Djing career. He said "The next album will be reggae, but not Culture Club reggae. White-boy reggae." Oh no. Do he really want to huuurt us?

Pierce Brosnan has begged 007 filmmakers to spice up the next film's sex scenes or risk it becoming a flop. Brosnan insists producers need to make the next movie sexier and more violent. The dashing actor said "You're not even allowed to show a bloody nipple. It's pathetic. What Bond needs is a good, palpable killing sequence and a good sex scene." Nah. Simplicity is the key. Cut out the rubbish long lines or ridiculous over-the-top gadgets. But few would have problems about better steamy scenes. Except the forums' complainers of course.
