Cressida Bonas to reconcile with Prince Harry?


Britain's Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas are likely to rekindle their relationship.
The royal's 18-month romance with the dancer isn't over for good and the pair are allegedly going to meet up to discuss the status of their romance.
An insider told Vanity Fair: "There will be another chapter to the Harry and Cressida love story. Harry likes the drama of a breakup and then a make up."
Another pal added: "Cressida is really cut up about how things ended and spent the weekend feeling very down."
The 25-year-old blonde is said to be nervous about being portrayed the way the Duchess of Cambridge - formerly known as Kate Middleton - was in the years before Prince William proposed to her, with the media nicknaming her 'Waity Katie', and is determined to retain a sense of individuality.
The source explained: "Cressida is very confident and won't be conforming to the royal look like Kate Middleton did. She is her own person, and Harry will have to accept that.
"Harry likes the fact the media are reporting they've split, because it gives him and Cressida some time to try and sort things out away from the limelight."
Harry and Cressida were reported to have parted ways at the end of last month, with the 29-year-old royal attending his friend Guy Pelly's wedding in Memphis, Tennessee without her over the weekend.

Bez asks Prince Charles for anti-fracking support


Bez has written to Britain's Prince Charles asking him to back his anti-fracking campaign.
The Happy Mondays star, who has reinvented himself as a politician and plans to stand as an MP for Salford and Eccles in Greater Manchester next year, has penned a letter to the eco-friendly Prince of Wales asking him to help raise awareness of the negative effects caused by the controversial gas extraction technique.
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' winner wrote: "As a respected proponent of permaculture we are appealing to you to help us raise awareness of the risks to our environment due to fracking and would welcome a public statement supporting the necessity of protecting and maintaining our environment.
"We hope that reason does not impair your judgement and that you will come to the aid of your people."
The maracas-shaking dancer, otherwise known as Mark Berry, is eagerly awaiting a reply from the royal heir, who he believes is a great role model.
Bez told the Manchester Evening News: "I have never met him before but I know that he does a lot of work for charities and I am hoping that he will lend his voice to anti-fracking.
"I recently saw him promoting wild flower meadows and I thought 'he is living the life that is an example to the rest of the country.'
"That is my dream - to create an England the way he has lived his life. We need his strong influential voice and I look forward to hearing back from him."
The 50-year-old star is hopeful Charles will support his catchy anti-fracking slogan, "shake your maracas if you're against the frackers".

Countess of Wessex attends Inclusive Zone Basketball championships


Britain's Sophie, Countess of Wessex attended the Inclusive Zone Basketball championships yesterday (07.05.14).
The 49-year-old wife of Prince Edward visited Worcester in the West Midlands to watch schoolchildren battle it out in the national final before presenting the winners and runners-up with awards.
The game, which is specially adapted to allow both disabled and able bodied players to participate, has been close to the Countess' heart ever since she became fascinated by British Wheelchair Basketball during the London 2012 Games.
The royal - who subsequently become patron of the sport - sat next to the new captain of Great Britain women's Wheelchair Basketball team, Sophie Carrigill, during lunch.
Carrigill told the Worcester News: "I knew I was on her table but I didn't know I was sitting right next to her. I was a bit nervous but she was really nice and really chatty and interested in basketball and what we are doing here in Worcester.
"She said how thrilled she was to be a part of it and how exciting she finds the game."
As well as chatting to the youngsters competing in the Inclusive Zone Basketball final, the Countess of Wessex also met with the University of Worcester's vice chancellor, Professor David Green, Malcolm Tarkenter, the chairman of British Wheelchair Basketball, and Sir Philip Craven, the president of the International Paralympic Committee.

Ultimate Wheels’ Elo: Fergie matches her cars to her outfit


Fergie spent thousands on a custom painted car to match her dress in a music video.
The 39-year-old singer was shooting her 2006 single 'London Bridge' in the capital when she asked 'Ultimate Wheels' star Elo to provide her with a one of a kind Low Rider to match her outfit in the video.
Elo - who owns the London Motor Museum - was happy to offer the "Big Girls Don't Cry' singer a 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood called 'Eye Candy', painting the rare car a particular shade of sunset orange to please the star.
The car designer exclusively told Bang Showbiz: "For the Fergie build she wanted a low rider which would be very much British in style but at the same time it needed to be very audacious, very LA, very Vegas. It's got to have the striping, the overlaying, the airbrushing, the hydraulics and all of that stuff. It was for her video.
"The Duchess needed the car to match the dress that she was wearing. So we had to paint the car a sunset orange to match one of the dresses she wearing. We were given a sample of the colour of what her dress would be on the day and to paint the car to match."
Elo - who names footballers Samuel Eto'o, Ramires and Emanuel Adebayor amongst his host of celebrity sporting and showbiz clients - also counts Fergie's Black Eyed Peas bandmate will.i.am among his favourite customers.
He said: "I've built cars for footballers that play at Chelsea, Fulham, Arsenal, rappers, singers and also for videos and promos including for will.i.am."
When asked about the 'Scream and Shout' singer, Elo explained: "He's a very easy guy to work with, very polite. He'd come out of his way to talk to you."
'Ultimate Wheels' continues Thursdays at 9pm, on HISTORY.

Anton Du Beke wants to partner Bake Off’s Mel on Strictly


Anton Du Beke wants Bake Off's Mel Giedroyc to be his next 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner.
The 47-year-old professional dancer - who has been partnering celebrity contestants on the show since 2004 - would love to see 'The Great British Bake Off' presenter join him on the series.
Anton - who is appearing alongside Mel on Channel 4 game show 'Draw It' tonight (08.05.14) and tomorrow (09.05.14) - bonded with the comedienne over their shared sense of humour and likened her quick wit to former 'Strictly' host Sir Bruce Forsyth, who has retired from presenting the series.
When asked who he'd like to be his next partner, Anton exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Mel is tremendous. We'd have a lot of fun together Mel and I. She is a lot of fun. You never know. All being well if they ask me back I'm sure we'll all have a great time.
He added: "I know it's an obvious thing to say she's very funny but she's very quick. Tremendous. She's a great one liner. Like myself, I'm a bit of a one liner and Brucie's a one liner, she'll come out with a one liner or a line rather than a monologue. She's just hilarious. In the future if she did decide she wanted to do Strictly Come Dancing and she wanted to dance with me. I think we'd have a great time together."
Although Anton is keen for Mel to join him on the show, he admitted that many of his partners have struggled to live up to his "favourite" contestant Anne Widdecombe, with whom he made it to the 10th week of the competition in 2010.
He said: "It's difficult to look too far beyond the fabulous Anne Widdecombe as a favourite partner. She's quite a legend. For me 'Strictly Come Dancing' is that. That sort of fun I had with Anne. She was such an unexpected hit. We had great chemistry and a great rapport. I'm very fond of her. I think she's a great woman.
"She really embraced 'Strictly Come Dancing' and that's what 'Strictly Come Dancing' is for me. I never mind who I dance with as long as I have a bit of fun like I did with Anne."
'Draw It!' is on Channel 4 every week day at 4.30pm

Coronation Street casts new disabled character


'Coronation Street' bosses are introducing a new disabled character to the soap.
The production team have put out a public casting call to find the right actor to portray Howie who will first be seen in Weatherfield in the autumn.
'Coronation Street' casting director Janet Hampson wrote on her Twitter account: "Breakdown for our new disabled @itvcorrie character HOWIE is now out, pls spread word far & wide & RT, thanks ... NB: Howie is MALE, WHITE & DISABLED!! I'm deleting emails that don't match. (sic)"
Details on the character are scarce but he will be a "cheeky chappy" and will be connected to a current 'Corrie' resident.
A spokesperson for the show told the Manchester Evening News newspaper: "Howie is a new disabled character that is being written into storylines starting on screen in the autumn.
"He will be connected to a current cast member, although that's all we can say at this stage."
Auditions for the part will take part over the next several weeks.
'Coronation Street' currently has one disabled character, wheelchair bound Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) who has been in the programme for four years.

Bill Oddie’s home under ‘rat invasion’


Bill Oddie's home has been infested with "at least 30" rats.
The 72-year-old TV presenter - who has developed a reputation as an ornithologist and conservationist - was forced to call pest control to his Hampstead home in north London to deal with the nuisance rodents when he found they'd "invaded" his property and garden.
He wrote on Twitter: "Rat invasion. At least 30 in garden. Mainly young. Climbing, jumping, tumbling. Quite entertaining, BUT. Called the Pied Piper. (sic)"
It is not yet know if the pest control experts were able to deal with his rat problem.
Oddie - who lives with his wife Laura Beaumont, 61, and daughter Rosie, 26, at the London house - is best known for presenting 'Springwatch' between 2005 - 2008 which was broadcast live from locations around the UK and documented British wildlife during the changing seasons in Britain.
It had a prime time evening slot on BBC Two and although Bill left in 2008 he return for a guest appearance in the penultimate episode of the 2010 series.
More recently he undertook an Australia tour where he visited Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth in a series of one-off shows, 'An Oldie but a Goodie' - a reference to his 1970s comedy sketch series 'The Goodies'.

Peaches Geldof’s sister Tiger has been ‘rock’ for family


Peaches Geldof's youngest sister Tiger Lily has been an "incredible rock" for her family.
The 25-year-old presenter was discovered dead at home last month with youngest son Phaedra, 12 months, by her side and insiders say 17-year-old Tiger - who was found in the room with her mother Paula Yates when she passed away 14 years ago - has been a huge source of support for their loved ones, including Peaches' husband Thomas Cohen.
A source close to the teenager - whose father is the late Michael Hutchence - and her family told Grazia magazine: "Thom's family are being amazing but surprisingly it is Tiger who has proved to be the greatest support for both families.
"She is the girl left in the same scene her nephew was found in and yet she has become this incredible rock for everyone when she's just a teenager. It's amazing."
Peaches' husband - with whom she also had two-year-old son Astala - and her sister Pixie, 23, are said to be finding it particularly hard to come to terms with her death, which is believed to have been caused by heroin use.
The source added: "Pixie has been in a state of uncontrollable grief - Peaches was so close to her. They shared a room, they shared a tragedy and they shared a wild youth and coming of age.
Thom is just catatonic with grief. His world has stopped."
