Newscaster Jane Hill Reveals That She Is Gay

Her BBC colleagues have known the fact for a while but the BBC news presenter Jane Hill has come out and has revealed that she is gay - no doubt to the disappointment of many of her male admirers.

Jane is living with her partner Sara and their dog Mavis. A colleague at the BBC told the Daily Mail, "She hasn't made a secret of it at the BBC and although she has had other girlfriends over the years, this one seems to be the one."

Jane is one of the main BBC News presenters and was born in Sussex on the 10th of June 1969.

Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi In New Year Honours List

It's time for gongs, in the British New Year Honours List that is.

On the celebrity front there are OBE's for Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi of Status Quo (for their contributions to music and charity) and a Knighthood for Star Trek's Patrick Stewart (for his services to drama).

Surely it's about time we scrapped these outdated awards - the fact that the 'British Empire' is mentioned (OBE) is almost laughable.

Charlize Theron
One of the presenters for the draw for Football's World Cup Finals in South Africa will be actress Charlize Theron. This will be shown on Friday at 5pm UK time and the show will go out to 200+ countries and will be watched by over two hundred million people.

George Hamilton
So another celeb joins Camilla Dallerup and Katie Price and decides to leave the jungle and the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here reality television show. This time it's George Hamilton who has decided he's had enough - and with only five days to go. Wonder why these people even bother to enter as contestants. It's all a bit of a farce.

Peter Andre
Some reports reckon that Katie Price will get back with Peter Andre but he denies this and says he'll never take her back - wise man! Peter said, "I am a divorced man and there is absolutely no going back."

Peaches Geldof
Peaches Geldof has stripped off to launch the Miss Ultimo new fairground themed lingerie collection. The collection is available from December 1st.

Peaches said, "Working for the second time with Miss Ultimo has been a pleasure. The underwear fits perfectly and creates curves in all the right places. I’m honoured to be chosen to represent a healthy body image and what better way than with Miss Ultimo’s designs, which are sexy, young and quirky. Clothes are fun but sometimes knowing you’ve got some awesome underwear underneath is better!"

John and Edward
Jedward may have been voted out of the X Factor but they are still a massive draw - just ask Scotland's Glasgow and Falkirk audiences, where there was tight security for their weekend performances. The screams were so loud it didn't seem to matter that their vocals were a bit dodgy.

Pamela Bach
The ex-wife of David Hasselhoff was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving on Saturday. She is due in court on December 24th.

Katie Price Is Taking The Public For A Load Of Mugs

Get excited: Katie Price will be soon heading back to the UK after her jungle triumph - well, she's flying back and no doubt she will create a stir.

Seems she has re-negotiated her I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here contract so that she can leave early - after she has finished filming stuff for her ITV2 reality show, of course.

Unbelievably one of the scenes she hopes to film is a showdown with her ex-boyfriend Alex Reid. Remember she dumped him live on air, after leaving I'm A Celebrity. Guess some people will do anything for money.

In Katie's own words, "Viewers (or her ITV2 show) have seen what I went through in the jungle, and now they'll get to find out exactly what happens next. As ever, there's bound to be lots of drama!"

Don't people realise she's taking the public for a load of mugs - what's the fascination with a set of plastic boobs? After all, she's got no other talent - other than making money ...

Katie Price Leaves The Jungle

A tearful Katie Price has left the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! show.

Katie said, "I've had enough Everyone else, give them something to do. You've seen me struggle, you've seen me cry, shake, want to die.

I really don't want to be doing this. I miss my children. I’m hungry.

I want a nice bed and I don’t want to have to put myself through these horrible challenges."

ITV have confirmed that Katie Price has left the jungle and say that at the present time they have no plance to replace her.

At least the other I'm A Celeb contestants will now have the opportunity to strut their stuff and get noticed.

Diamonds Belong To Cheryl Cole Forever.

"Diamonds are forever," says Cheryl Cole.

Actually what she wrote on Twitter was, "3 words. Diamonds are forever," and there was a photo attached of her wearing her wedding ring.

She's obviously trying to quash the speculation that her marriage to Cashley is in trouble.

Some of the rumours came about by her not wearing her wedding ring - because it 'clashed with her outfit' - hmmmm! And then there have been her so called friends discussing her relationship in the media.

Cheryl's increased fame and gossip about her heading off to the US for a Simon Cowell television series has no doubt unsettled Ashley Cole. There's a little jealousy as to who is the most successful.

Cheryl is a fighter and will no doubt do whatever she needs to do to keep her marriage in tact. Bit it'll take more than diamonds - she can afford her own now.

Technicians Give Jedward A Helping Hand - Allegedly

There have been accusations of cheating on UK's X Factor - and at the center of the row is none other than Jedward or, to give them their correct name, John and Edward. Well it had to be them, didn't it!

Some Technicians on X Factor have made claims that their hierarchy ordered them to turn down Jedward's microphones, and mask their voices with backing tracks, while performing on the show. Well if it can be done for Cheryl ...

X Factor, of course, denies this saying, "All the contestants sing live on Saturday night and are given an equal amount of technical support."

But one technician supposedly told the Daily Mirror, "The twins have had backing vocals on all their live performances so far. We are used to tweaking levels, it is part of the job, but what we were asked to do on Saturday was beyond a joke."

So what - only Simon and Dannii seem to think X Factor is still a singing competition. Really it's a good entertainment show. And any potential money making singers will do okay, whether they win or not. Take the show for what it is.

Celebrity News Updates

Katie Price
Not sure that we want her there but Katie Price is heading for the jungle where she hopes to 'star' in UK's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. Her mind is on genitalia! She said, "I bet I get to eat a willy (an animal one, that is!). I can't eat a willy! I have requested that because I have veneers (on my teeth), if there is anything nice and chewy, I better have a knife and fork - otherwise I won't be able to chew it."

Strictly Come Dancing
Brucie is ill so Tess Daly will take over as the main presenter on Saturday. But who will do Tess's role?

Daniel Radcliffe
Despite photos in the Mirror, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, has denied that he has been smoking cannabis. The cigarette was simply a roll-up with tobacco. Harry's spokesperson said, "We are considering our position and will be taking all necessary action in relation to such allegations."

Robbie Williams
Take That fans are getting their knickers in a twist as Robbie joined the group on stage at the Children In Need concert. Robbie said, "I started tearing up just before I came on and the lads were singing. And I think we should have milked it for a lot longer than we actually did... That's the first time in 15 years, we should have least stayed there for 10 minutes." The concert will be on BBC1 on the 19th of November.

Leona Lewis
According to the Sun Leona Lewis has 'slammed' X Factor by saying: "It's all pantomime, of course. I do feel that when I did it, it was more about the music. Now it's a whole production - so many people on stage, dancing, special effects going off, all that craziness. It's definitely changed emphasis." Simon Cowell will be delighted at this.

David Dimbleby
Question Time presenter David Dimbleby missed his first appearance on the show for 15 years - he got kicked by a bullock!

Katie Price Heads For I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!

Katie Price is heading back to the jungle in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! She'll be the first celeb to put in a repeat performance, but the £250,000 sweetener should keep her focused. Rumour is that she wanted £350,000 but that was declined by the producers.

Katie must be desperate, but she needs to do something as her popularity has taken a bit of a nose dive recently. She's probably down to her last £30 million now. Personally I'd like to see her voted out in the first round - but the I'm A Celeb editors won't let this happen.

Kelly Brook
You couldn't make it up! Transport for London have ordered that Kelly Brook's buns must be bigger. The buns on her ad, that is, for her West End show Calendar Girls. It seems that TfL think the buns aren't big enough to properly cover Kelly's 32E assets. The photo on the right shows the original pic, but the ads you'll now find on the London Underground have been touched up and the buns have been enlarged.

Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson and his Russian girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva have had a baby daughter. It appears that 39 year old Oksana gave birth on Friday.

Cheryl Cole
UK's woman of the moment, Cheryl Cole, is following in the footsteps of Barbra Streisand, Madonna, Celine Dion, Lily Allen and Lady Gaga by having a number one in the UK singles and album charts at the same time with Fight For This Love and 3 Words.

Katie Price
The pneumatic Katie Price seems to have her knickers in a twist. She wrote on Twitter: "Come on haters attack me! You're right, I'm always wrong, I'm hated, I never do anything right do I, sorry for that!!" She followed this up with the Tweet, "You're all asking why hate me!! You obviously think I've done a lot wrong so give me what you think I deserve then leave me be please," and continued with a third: "Don't think some of you understand, DON'T attack my horses, my children, my family and DON'T attack Pete - only ATTACK me thank you."

John and Edward
Well they are still there. Jedward sailed through another X Factor show and maybe, just maybe, Simon Cowell is being forced to change his stance. He said, "We have to judge them now and it's difficult. I try to judge their singing but I now have to take into account that they have a fan base."

Michael Jackson
Death, as many have said before, is sometimes a good career move. Michael Jackson's This Is It has already pulled in over $100 million, with $21+ million in the USA alone.

John And Edward Pull In The X Factor Votes

It's generally rumoured that somehow John and Edward got the most votes on last weekend's X Factor - yes really! Whatever the reason it's woken the bookmakers up to the fact that the Irish duo could actually come close to winning the whole thing. As I write there is steam escaping from Simon Cowell's ears at this very thought.

The fact is, whether Simon likes it or not, John and Edward Grimes have captured the publics' imagination despite the fact that they aren't too hot at singing. They look great, and different, and appeal to the young and fun market.

The twins odds of winning have shortened so the publicity machine will go into overdrive to stop this happening. Manipulation is afoot.

Everyone's favourite to win X Factor seems to be Joe McElderry but wouldn't it be funny to see John and Edward upset the applecart? Imagine Simon's face. He's already got his knickers in a twist by having Danyl Johnson in the sing offs and has supposedly been blasting Cheryl and Dannii. So much so that Cheryl described him as being, 'rude and nasty'.

But, of course, conflicts and rumours of upsets all help the X Factor viewing figures and I guess most, well some, viewers realise that it's all illusion and manipulation. Money is the real name of the game.

Celebrity News Updates

Katie Price
According to the Mirror Katie Price and boyfriend Alex Reid have split following a row - at least temporarily.

A source told the Mirror: "She may come across as having a tough exterior but she’s broken by the split with Pete and she’s trying to persuade herself that being with Alex is what she needs. She’s been distant and acting weird with him all week. Alex was trying to comfort her but every time he tried to cuddle her she’d snap, 'Get away from me'. He yelled back, 'You're clearly not over Pete'.

Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga has been telling her Twitter followers about her father's heart operation. She wrote: "My Daddy had open heart surgery today. And after long hours, and lots of tears, they healed his broken heart, and mine. Speechless." Her next Tweet said: "At the hospital. Giving daddy a footrub while he falls asleep. He's my hero."

Natalie Cassidy
It's rumoured that Natalie Cassidy is to return to the soap Eastenders along with the rest of the Jackson family: Dean Gaffney, as brother Robbie and Lindsey Coulson as mother Carol plus Billy to be played by a new actor. Why for heaven's sake?! Eastenders seems to have lost it's way.

Morrissey
Former Smiths man Morrissey is back home after a night in hospital following collapsing at a Swindon gig with breathing difficulties. He was retained at Great Western Hospital as a precautinary measure.

Andrew Lloyd Webber
61 year old Andrew Lloyd Webber has prostrate cancer. A spokesperson said, "Andrew is now undergoing treatment and expects to be fully back at work before the end of the year." We wish him well

Brad Pitt
It appears that Brad Pitt had a minor accident when he fell off his motor cycle in Los Angeles. He wasn't hurt though and the incident wasn't even reported to police. A fuss about nothing really.

It is rumoured that Katy Perry and Russell Brand have been together in Thailand for about seven days.

The couple's Twitter accounts verify that they were in Thailand at the same time. Katy Twittered: "After a week in magical Thailand I'm ready 2 face the real world again" and while there Russell asked, "I'm in Thailand is it right for non Buddhists to visit temples?

X Factor Says Bye Bye To Tru Colourz

Tru Colourz have been kicked out of X Factor's final 24 for fibbing about their ages. It seems that one of the group is under 16, which is the minimum age requirement to enter the show. Harmony Hood will be their replacement.

Robbie Williams And Take That Not Back Together

Rumours that Robbie Williams and Take That are to be re-united are in doubt.

Though all five (Take That + Robbie) were in New York it appears that they were there only for Mark Owen's Stag Night - and not to record music together.

Their spokesperson said, "They (Take That)were there approving mixes for a live album that's due out at the end of November. Williams probably popped in to have a listen."

No studio time was booked for recording.

Rumours, no doubt, will continue.
