Lydia Bright doesn’t want grand proposal


Lydia Bright doesn't want a grand proposal from Arg.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star "knows" she will spend the rest of her life with James 'Arg' Argent so insists there is no pressure for her boyfriend to pull off an elaborate engagement.
She said: "I don't want a big gesture. We've been together for a long time and we know we love each other and are going to spend the rest of our lives together, so there's no pressure on him."
Though they are not engaged yet, the 24-year-old beauty knows the kind of wedding she wants - and thinks it would be very different to what her 27-year-old lover would like.
She said: "I think we'd end up arguing because I want a small wedding and James would love a big wedding.
"I want it to be classy, cute and quirky. I've got ideas but nothing is in concrete."
Lydia thinks she would be a "chilled" bride-to-be and would share the planning with Arg.
Asked if she'd be a bridezilla, she said: "No, I think I'd be chilled. James used to be a nightclub promoter so he was always throwing parties, so I think he'd take on the role of entertainment.
"And he'd take on the food because he loves food!"

Paul OGrady dislikes manufactured men


Paul O'Grady would never use botox.
The former drag queen revealed that some days he doesn't recognise his older self in the mirror but he would never reach out for facial enhancements and believes that men who pluck their eyebrows and wear fake tan should "get over themselves."
He said: "I'd never have Botox or tried to look younger. I see these men who've had work done and it just looks so manufactured.
"This craze for plucking eyebrows and wearing fake tan. I just think, 'get over yourself'"
Though Paul - who recently turned 60 - admitted that he misses his youthful looks and didn't appreciate them at the time.
He said: "When I look in the mirrir it's very strange. I've been digging out old pictures while i've writing and I don't relate to the teenage me at all. It's like I'm looking at a different person completely. I remember how, back then, I hated my looks. Now I think, oh God, I had amazing red hair and lovely skin. What was I panicking about?
Speaking in an interview with The Sunday Mirror, the Radio 2 DJ explained that since he has has five dogs, four goats, five barn owls, nine sheep and six pigs, his make-up routine can involve other hazards.
He said: "The big thing my makeup artist has to worry about is my animal-related injuries. Of course there are mornings I go to the bathroom to shave, look in the mirror and say, 'eurgh, where the bloody hell has that come from? They'll be a big tramline across my face where I've slept funny. It won't go away - it softens into a wrinkle. "
He added: "But I don't know why people worry about getting older. Age, with all that wealth of experience we accumulate, is a wonderful thing."

Danielle Howard is leaving EastEnders


Danielle Harold is leaving EastEnders.
The 23-year-old actress - who plays the young mother Lola Pierce - has been written out of story lines on the popular BBC One soap opera and admitted "I'll miss everyone."
She said: "I've had the most amazing time at EastEnders having been involved in some exciting story lines, including giving birth in a live scene."
The TV babe first joined the soap four years ago as Billie Mitchel's loud-mouthed but lovable teenage granddaughter. Before entering in to acting, the young star was featured on the television series Jamie's Dream School in 2011.
She added: "I'll miss everyone here and am looking forward to the future."
Before Harold's acting career began she was featured on the 2011 television series Jamie's Dream School
However a come-back for Lola has not been ruled out, as
Eastender's producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said: "We all love Danielle and she and Lola have been a big part of EastEnders over the past four years.
He added: "Danielle is a fantastic actress and I genuinely look forward to seeing her shine in future roles away from Square."
Danielle will film her final scenes this year.

Gemma Collins wants EastEnders role


Gemma Collins wants to be in 'EastEnders'.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star is a huge fan of the BBC soap and wants to share a scene with Danny Dyer, who plays Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter.
She said: "I see myself in 'EastEnders'. I'd go into the Queen Vic and say, 'Get outta my pub' to Danny Dyer. Then we'd have a little fight and fall in love. That's my dream."
Meanwhile, Gemma, 34, is hoping to find love while shooting a 'TOWIE' special in Marbella, Spain, following a string of disastrous relationships.
She told Now magazine: "I'm getting more attention than any of the girls - I'm on fire.
"I'm also meeting up with Chloe Sims' uncle Peter while I'm here. He's a bit older and is a big time boxer who'll treat me like a princess.
"I'm over bad boys. My heart has been smashed, trashed and ripped apart too many times. I want someone who values and respects me.
"He asked if he could take me out when I arrived here. He could be the one, I do fancy him quite a bit."

Danny Dyer bans daughter from appearing in sex scenes


Danny Dyer has banned his daughter Dani from starring in on-screen sex.
The 37-year-old actor, who stars as Mick Carter in 'EastEnders', doesn't like his 18-year-old daughter appearing in gritty sex scenes and was, therefore, relieved there weren't any in Dani's latest film project, action movie 'Age Of Kill'.
She explained: "My dad was relieved when there weren't any more sex scenes in this film.
"He wouldn't have been happy if I was doing scenes where everyone is on top of me. It isn't nice for him to see, he will never be happy with me doing things like that."
Despite forging a successful career as an actress, Dani also confessed she still risks being grounded by her soap star dad and mum Joanne Mas.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "If I tell my parents the truth they are fine but if I take the liberty in the house, I get grounded and get my phone taken away.
"I wasn't allowed a phone until I was 16. And I wasn't allowed home later than 11pm. So I'd say I'm staying at my friend's house, and we'd pretend to be her mum on the phone but it never worked."

Coronation Street bosses apologise for script gaffe


'Coronation Street' bosses have issued an apology after long-running character Kevin Webster forgot the death of his baby.
The mechanic - who's played by actor Michael Le Vell - told his daughter Sophie that it must "be hard burying one of your kids" as he helped her to organise the funeral of her lover, Maddie Heath.
However, some viewers observed the script ignored the fact Kevin did exactly that when he and his wife Alison - who later threw herself under a lorry - saw their days-old baby Jake die from an infection in 2000.
Stuart Blackburn, a producer of 'Coronation Street', said: "I'd like to thank viewers who spotted our mistake.
"Our episodes go through many drafts and are scrutinised by many people but on this occasion we did make a mistake."
One fan of the soap, Pippa Dee, wrote online: "It's especially important that historical facts are remembered in a long-running programme like our Corrie. Do they not realise how long some of us have been watching?"
Meanwhile, another fan of the show, named Tvor, said: "Staff and writers are probably bashing their collective heads against a wall today."

Tommy Mallett and Georgia Kousoulou want Greek wedding


'The Only Way is Essex' stars Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou hope to get married soon.
The duo have been dating for nearly two years and have revealed they would want a "crazy" wedding that's a mix of Greek and Irish culture - but Georgia has admitted their different backgrounds could complicate the ceremony.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she explained: "I would like a crazy Greek wedding. I'd be worried though, because I would want it Greek but then all Tommy's family are Irish."
Meanwhile, Georgia said that although the duo can "hate" each other from time to time, they've been in love since the moment they first met.
She shared: "There is so much passion there between us it can be good [and] it can be bad, we are just two normal people and we just met and it was love straightaway.
"When we are good, we're really good and then when it's bad, we like bicker and hate each other for an hour. But then love each other again, we get it out the way.
"Every 10 minutes there's something but because of that, there are no major explosions."

Brian Belo joins Nikki Grahame and Helen Wood on ‘Big Brother’


Brian Belo has joined Nikki Grahame and Helen Wood in the 'Big Brother' house.
The 27-year-old star - who was crowned winner of 'Big Brother' series eight in 2007 - has returned to the competition alongside Helen who won last year's series and Nikki who came in fifth place in 2006.
The trio of former housemates joined current contestant Marc O'Neill following his fake eviction from the show in the Timebomb bunker and Brian couldn't hide his glee at joining Marc in the underground room for the next 48 hours.
He told host Emma Willis: "He has got high energy and I am going to bounce off him and we are going to put a rocket up the house's a**e!"
However, there was one person Brian - who also described himself as "housemate viagra" during his entrance - was not looking forward to living in close quarters with.
He admitted, "I think I would least like to be stuck in the bunker with Helen Wood," shortly before the star, who is known for bedding footballer Wayne Rooney, joined him on the stage.
However, feisty Helen was quick to dismiss his fears and insisted she was planning on getting on with everybody in the house.
An excited Nikki, 33, was the final Timewarp housemate to enter the bunker and was heard shouting, "I'm s**tting myself" as she joined Emma on stage.
As the show came to an end Marc and the new housemates were given the secret task of choosing the nominees for the next eviction from the existing contestants.

Chris Evans wants Nick Grimshaw to host ‘TFI Friday’


Chris Evans wants Nick Grimshaw to host 'TFI Friday'.
The 49-year-old presenter - who fronted the series from 1996-1999 - described the BBC Radio 1 DJ as the "future" of the show, which is yet to announce a permanent return after ending in 2000, during tonight's one-off special (12.06.15).
As Nick, 30, and the former BBC Radio 2 host joked about failing to tune in to each other's shows, Chris said: "Nick is the future of this show. I think if this show comes back he is the one."
However, Chris' preference quickly sparked a storm on Twitter with many fans of the iconic 90s series slamming his choice of presenter.
One user wrote: "Death warrant signed for #TFIFriday if Grimshaw is involved!"
While another said: "What!? No Chris... NO! If #TFIFriday returns as a series it cannot be Nick Grimshaw that hosts it! It has to be Chris Evans!"
The rest of the show featured a star studded line-up of 90s favourites and kicked off with Blur performing their hit 'Coffee and TV'.
Liam Gallagher also made an appearance and was joined on stage by The Who's Roger Daltrey, original Oasis guitarist Bonehead, The Who and ex-Oasis drummer Zak Starkey and Lightening Seeds frontman Ian Broudie to perform The Who's 1965 track 'My Generation'.
Years & Years also performed after being introduced by Nick who joined them on stage alongside Rita Ora, Ricky Wilson and Stephen Merchant, who had all previously taken part in the speed dating round of the show.
