Frank Lampard Hits Back At Elen Rives Comments

The Frank Lampard and Elen Rives relationship is, sadly, turning a little nasty.

Elen has said, "He is so heartless. He's moved on and is seeing other girls. I text him to tell him I'm not coping, but he doesn't care. I cry to him on the phone but I get nothing from him. No emotion, just blank. He's a b*****d. I don't know if he'll come round. I don't know what to do. To be honest I'm not doing very well."

But Frank has hit back telling of how he is buying her, and his children, a property that is of an equal living standard, if not more, than thier previous home together.

He went on to tell LBC, "Since I've had kids, every penny I've earned is for my kids. I've got a relationship with with my ex-girlfriend and we're going to share custody. For half of the nights a week, they will wake in my house and I'll be there for them."

Looks like Frank misses the point though: Elen still cares for him. But there are always two versions of any break up,

Miley Cyrus In 4" High Heels And A Short Dress

London teenyboppers were out en masse as a very grown up looking Miley Cyrus, in 4" heels, turned up for the premiere of her film Hannah Montana at the Odeon in the West End of England's capital.

Her thigh skimming sparkly dress had older viewers actually giving wolf whistles, while the teenyboppers had palpitations. Good old dad, achy breaky Billy Ray Cyrus, was only feet away to protect her - well, whatever needed protecting.

Miley Cyrus always stresses that she's a good Christian girl who wants to keep her virginity until she marries - but didn't Britney used to say that as well? It is, after all, the Disney way. Photo: WENN

Demi Moore In Tears After Listening To Susan Boyle

News of Susan Boyle's exceptional and unexpected performance on Britain's Got Talent is still making news. This most unlikely 'star' is said to have had Demi Moore in tears after watching her performance on YouTube.

It seems that Demi's husband, Ashton Kutcher, told her to watch Susan singing I Dream A Dream from Les Miserables.

No doubt Simon Cowell is seeing the cash till registers in his head already - and so far only the auditions of Britain's Got Talent have been seen.

We all thought Susan Boyle was being set up for us to laugh at but her voice knocked the audience and viewers for six. There is a lesson for us all here.

Britney Spears Apologises To Vancouver

Britney Spears has had to make an apology on her website following her Vancouver show last night, where she left the stage after just three songs.

Her site stated:

"We want to apologize to all the fans who attended our Vancouver show tonight for the brief pause in Britney's set. Crew members above the stage became ill due to a ventilation issue."

Britney left the stage after about 15 minutes and returned half an hour later. According to The Vancouver Sun a message was given out saying, "It’s become uncomfortable and unsafe for the performers, including Ms. Spears. The show will resume as soon as the air around the stage is clear. The performance will not proceed until the air clears."

There followed boos from the audience.

It seems, however, that Britney managed to win over the fans, following her return to the stage and most went away happy.

The Exploitation Of Jade Goody

When it was obvious that Jade Goody didn't have long to live I wrote about how, "I would like to see her have a dignified end with her family. For this reason we will not be mentioning her again unless there should be any important news."

At the time I felt that many so called tabloid papers in the UK were exploiting her for circulation purposes and this didn't feel right. Now Michael Parkinson has written in the Radio Times of how he believed that Jade had been, "...manipulated and exploited till the day she died."

Michael said:

"When we clear the media smokescreen from around her death, what we're left with is a woman who came to represent all that's paltry and wretched about Britain today.

She was brought up on a sink estate, as a child came to know both drugs and crime, was barely educated, ignorant and puerile.

Then she was projected to celebrity by Big Brother and, from that point on, became a media chattel to be manipulated and exploited till the day she died."

It's really hard to disagree with this. Though she was almost revered at the end for her definite bravery in the face of cancer, and became almost a cult hero, only a short while previously most of us were criticising her with headlines such as Jade Goody Fight Turns Ugly and Jade Goody Worse For Wear - Again.

Michael concluded by saying, "All that is to be wished of such a troubled soul is: rest in peace."

Let us hope that this is the case and that she won't continue to be exploited in death by the media in general or her 'friends' and relatives.

Teacher Natasha Gray And Her Sexy Internet Photos

Natasha Gray has become something of a celebrity because she's a teacher - a teacher, that is, who was previously named as Britain's Sexiest Teacher in 2002. The problem now. however, is that some of her photos have ended up on the Internet and parent's at the Manor Community College, Cambridge have got their knickers in a twist about them.

Natasha is head of PE and Dance at the school and it seems one of the parents dished the dirt by writing to the principal saying, "I am disgusted. I assume the pupils have a good giggle about it but I find it rather crass. This is inappropriate for not only the school, but also pupils."

Principal Ben Slade said, "This will certainly be dealt with most severely and will be a disciplinary matter. She will be asked to take the pictures down. This is not a matter for suspension, as much as I would like it to be in this case. If they were pornographic or involved someone of a dubious age it would be more serious."
