Queen Elizabeth likes Peppa Pig


Britain's Queen Elizabeth is a fan of Peppa Pig.
The 87-year-old royal is selling the character's stories 'Peppa Meets the Queen' and 'The Story of Prince George' alongside other official royal merchandise in the Buckingham Palace shop.
'Peppa Meets the Queen', which was brought out for the Diamond Jubilee in 2012, tells the story of the bossy piglet and her friends visiting Buckingham Palace in London, where they end up jumping in muddy puddles with the monarch.
'The Story of Prince George' was published following the birth of the third-in-line to the throne last year, and follows Peppa's brother George, who saves the royal family from a fearsome dragon.
The Queen is also selling 'Shhh! Don't Wake the Royal Baby!', which tells the story of how the queen jumps out of a helicopter with a parachute in order to get the royal tot to sleep.
However, just as the little one appears to be pacifying, the monarch's corgis almost wake him with their loud barks.
The book is on sale for £6.99 and also features the baby's aunt and uncle planning a lavish party to welcome the new bundle of joy.

Joey Essex to get his own TV show


Joey Essex could get his own TV show in the style of 'An Idiot Abroad'.
Bosses at ITV2 are "desperate" to sign him up to a full series after the success of his one-off documentary 'Educating Joey Essex', which saw him travel to Africa to learn about different cultures.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star is being lined up to appear in a programme which will send him around the world, similar to Karl Pilkington's adventures in the hit Sky 1 show.
An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's early stages but it rapidly became clear while filming 'Educating Joey Essex' that it was going to be TV gold and ITV2 is absolutely desperate to get him signed up for more.
"The show is going to be like 'An Idiot Abroad'. Think Joey being dumped in the middle of a remote part of Australia or in the centre of buzzing Tokyo - it would completely blow his mind.
The source added: "Joey loved filming his show in Africa and he is up for anything, really - even going to places he cannot necessarily pronounce."
The 27-year-old star has also released his 'Essex Anthems' compilation CD, which is set for chart success, and his autobiography will be released in May.
Meanwhile, Joey's former 'TOWIE' co-star Mark Wright is struggling to pull in viewers for his new show 'Party Wright Around the World' after figures dropped from 350,000 for its first episode to 206,000 last week.

The Voice live show to be rocked by illness


'The Voice's' first live show could be set for chaos with four contestants struggling to sing.
The BBC One talent show will begin its first round of live sing-offs tomorrow (22.03.14) as the quarter finals take place, but four contestants are in danger of being sent home as they've been taken ill.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Everyone's drinking lemon and honey, snorting Vicks inhalers and getting early nights - it is hardly rock'n'roll."
Jamie Johnson and Lee Glasson - who are being mentored by Kylie Minogue - have been joined in the sickbay by Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson's contestant Christina Marie and Sir Tom Jones' protégée Sally Barker.
All four wannabes have been told not to rehearse as BBC bosses are worried they won't be on form for the live show.
will.i.am has so far suffered no blows to his team, which includes Iesher Haughton, Sophie May and Jermain Jackman, but with three contestants left on each team and four people set to be sent home, each team will be cut down to just two singers.
Tomorrow's first live show will see performances from US superstars Jason Derulo and OneRepublic.

Cheryl Cole makes malaria appeal for Sport Relief


Cheryl Cole will make a malaria appeal on Sport Relief tonight (21.03.14).
'The X Factor' judge is urging viewers to give at least £5 in an effort to prevent the disease spreading further through Africa after she was diagnosed with the deadly condition - which is transmitted by mosquitoes - in July 2010 when she returned home from a trip to Tanzania.
Cheryl's condition was so serious she was given just 24 hours to live by doctors if she didn't respond to treatment.
In a video message, she explained: "When I climbed Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief five years ago it was honestly one of the hardest things I've ever done.
"The motivation lay in knowing it could help in eradicating malaria and ultimately saving lives by providing mosquito nets.
"I didn't for one minute think that only a year later, I would get malaria myself and become so ill that, at one point, I was given 24 hours to live.
"It was the scariest thing you could ever imagine for me and for my friends and family. The pain I felt and went through, it's what so many people go through, all because they don't have a mosquito net which could save their life.
"I was lucky, I had the best care I could get. Some people are not so lucky. A £5 mosquito net could keep a child safe and really does help."
The 30-year-old star - whose lungs became filled with fluid, while her liver grew to three times its normal size while ill - is trying to reach out for help because the cause is "close to" her heart.
She added: "I've decided to speak out about this again now because, having experienced it, it's obviously very close to my heart and I want people to know how easy it is to help."

Charlie Brooks: I love Janine getting away with murder


Charlie Brooks loves that Janine Butcher has got away with murder again.
The 'EastEnders' villain was cleared of murdering husband Michael Moon in last night's (20.03.14) dramatic episode of the BBC One soap, and Charlie - who is set to leave 'EastEnders' following the conclusion of the storyline - is glad her character was found not guilty.
Janine previously got away with murdering first husband Barry Evans after pushing him off a cliff in 2004.
Charlie told the official 'EastEnders' website: "I love that she's kind of getting away with murder again ... I love that.
"But the fact is that it was self-defence and that he would have killed her if she hadn't have killed him. And there I go defending her again but it's true."
Charlie previously claimed she hasn't ruled out a return to 'EastEnders' in future as she'd hate to not play Janine again.
She said: "I've loved my time on the show and I would hate to think that I might never get to play Janine again. However, it's time for a new challenge in my life."
In addition to Janine, co-defendant Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks) was found not guilty of murdering Michael in last night's episode.

5ive star Scott: Nick Lachey is a d**khead


5ive's Scott Robinson has branded Nick Lachey a "d**khead".
The 34-year-old singer has hit back at the former 98 Degrees star, who recently labelled the 'Everybody Get Up' hitmakers "the worst boy band of all time" after the two groups butted heads while touring together in the 1990s.
Scott exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "If you want to quote me, the guy's a d**khead!
"The only reason Nick's saying anything is because he's desperate for a bit of press because he's not doing anything at the moment."
Scott's bandmate Sean Conlon appeared to be oblivious to Nick's damning comments in an interview with US talk show 'Watch What Happens Live' earlier this week, and Scott was only too happy to fill him in.
Scott told his pal: "Nick from 98 Degrees - you won't remember them because they were s***e - but Nick was slagging us off to the press saying we were lame. He's the one with the 98 Degrees tattoo!"
The singer added: "If I'm going to be completely honest, the only reason he's saying that is because we were on the Smash Hits tour with him. There were three bands - he was one of them - and 5ive won the tour, so we won the award, so he's upset. He had bigger muscles than me but he didn't have the award."
The 5ive stars also quipped that Nick, 40, is desperate to join 'The Big Reunion' in a bid to boost his career.
Scott teased: "He probably wants to get on 'The Big Reunion' ... he wasn't asked and he's really p***ed off about it. He was on a small telly programme in America and he thought, 'Oh, I know, I'll mention a bigger band than I'm in and get some press.' "
5ive are set to join fellow 'Big Reunion' groups Blue, A1, 911, 5th Story and Damage on The Big Reunion - The Boy Band Tour in October. Tickets go on sale on Saturday (22.03.14).
