Alexandra Burke

Alexandra Burke's winning X Factor single, "Hallelujah", has sold 150,000 copies in just 2 days.

Just so you know, Leona Lewis sold 139,000 copies of her winning single, "A Moment Like This", in 2006.... in A WHOLE WEEK!!!!!

I wonder how many copies of his single Leon sold last year?!

Kate Moss Jamie Hince

Kate Moss is making a habit of freeloading her way round Sir Philip Green's stores, but Johnny Ikon expects he's rather grateful for the publicity he gets when a supermodel steps through the door of granny's paradise BHS.

Moss hit up the Oxford Street store of the retail chain last night with boyfriend Jamie Hince to choose a series of gifts for daughter Lila Grace. Lila, aged 6, is clearly a girlie girl, as Kate picked out a number of pink gifts, including the full Hello Kitty! range of Christmas merchandise.

Nancy dell'Olio

Nancy Dell'Olio stunned partygoers at Blakes Hotel in Kensington, London last night when she turned up wearing a yucky black lace and leather see-through number.

Nancy has always been famed for her flamboyant and colourful clothing choices, but this outfit is something else!

As for that smug grin on her face, Johnny Ikon wonders if she's proud of herself for looking like a tranny????? Buy a mirror, MAN-cy!


Geri determined to enjoy Xmas

Geri Halliwell

Geri Halliwell isn't going to let her recent break-up with back-up dancer Ivan 'Flipz' Velez ruin Christmas for her this year.

Fresh from snogging a mystery man called Walter at Roberto Cavalli's party in Florence the night before, Geri hit up London hotspot Whisky Mist last night with friends, and looked like she needed holding up to get back to her car on the way out at 330am.

Seems that Geri's determined to spice up her life....


Ronnie takes his tart to LA

Ronnie Wood Ekaterina Ivanova

Ronnie Wood and his 20-year old Ekaterina Ivanova have arrived in Los Angeles, and wasted no time yesterday in hitting the shops.

They strolled through Santa Monica, stopping at trendy boutiques to pick up treats for the former cocktail waitress before joining friends for lunch at Fred Segal.

Perhaps Ronnie is looking up pals in LA because no one in London wants to talk to him, after ditching his wife Jo for a Russian temptress 41-years his junior. Daughter Leah is refusing to see him, and close friend Jerry Hall recently refused to let him into her Richmond home, pledging her loyalty to Jo.

Boy George Pigalle Club

In true showbiz style, Boy George has decided the show must go on despite his impending sentencing for falsely imprisoning a rent boy.

He took to the stage at The Pigalle Club in central London last night, performing his hits for punters paying £25-95 a head for the privilege. He was warned by the judge in his case that he intends to hand down a prison sentence when the court reconvenes on January 16th.

David Beckham David ArquetteDavid Beckham Zac Efron Vanessa Hudgens

David Beckham is picking up tips from wife Victoria, and schmoozing the A-list in Los Angeles. Becks hit up a basketball game last night, watching the New York Knicks play the LA Lakers at the Staples Centre, and greeted a host of Hollywood royalty like old friends.

Waving to director Spike Lee, he hugged teen stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens warmly, and greeted Leonardo DiCaprio and Jack Nicholson, eventually taking his place beside new-best-friend David Arquette, the husband of former-Friends star Courtney Cox

Phew!!!! Network like Beckham....


Lily Allen's night on the tiles

Lily Allen

Lily Allen's party girl image was somewhat revived last night. After weeks of staying in, she hit the town with music producer Robertson Furze, managing to rack up visits to four venues over the course of the night. They visited Scott's, The Groucho, The Ivy's private members club, and The Mayfair Hotel, hooking up with T4 presenter pal Miquita Oliver en-route.

However, Lily hasn't fallen off the wagon completely - she didn't touch a drop of alcohol all night! She told reporters, "I'm not doing anything else just concentrating on my music. Music, music, music."

Wow! I'm impressed - now if only she could give up that filthy smoking habit....


Alex flashes flesh at X Factor wrap party

Alexandra Burke Ruth Lorenzo

Alexandra Burke flashed a bit too much flesh as she sat in the back of her taxi leaving the X Factor wrap party at Mo*vida with fellow contestant Ruth Lorenzo.

Still, even if she feels embarrassed at showing her legs and bum at the press, spare a thought for defeated competitor Diana Vickers, who was turned away at the door for being too young (she's 17). Likewise, Danielle Lloyd was told she wasn't on the list, despite celebrating her 25th birthday yesterday. Poor cow - that's not a nice birthday present!


Madge backtracks on £50m divorce statement

Madonna Guy Ritchie

Madonna was forced into an embarrassing climb-down this morning over statements made by her spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, claiming ex-husband Guy Ritchie received £50 million in their financial settlement.

A statement has been issued jointly by Madge and Guy, which reads:

"We have tried to maintain a dignified silence regarding the details of our divorce for the last few months whilst accepting the obvious media interest. A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to Associated Press this week. The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement. Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children."

What an embarrassing U-turn for the Queen of Pop, and it's the first time she's ever criticised right-hand woman Rosenberg. Madonna really seems to be losing the PR war to her former husband right now....
