Kate Middleton is hoping to be among the first all-female crew to row across the English channel in a Chinese dragon boat. She is currently training with a group of female amateur rowers bidding to reach the French shores in the unusual vessel. Former school friend Alicia Fox-Pitt says: "She is a very gifted sportswoman and we played a lot of sport together at school." Fellow crew member Emma Sayle adds, "Kate's perfect material for our team.

Deborah Harry concedes she has a huge ego - but it doesn't make her a bad person. The singer insists arrogance can be a good trait in the entertainment industry. She told London's Time Out, "I have a terrible ego problem! Let's face it: it's spirit and ego, ego and spirit!
