As if he isn’t in enough trouble already; Blake Fielder-Civil has been using a smuggled phone to contact pals on the outside.

I’m not sure what’s more stupid; the actual act, or thinking he could get away with it whilst texting and phoning troubled missus, Amy Winehouse, who can’t sneeze without the papers reporting it at the moment.

A source said: “I don’t think Blake realises how much trouble he’s in if the screws find it.”

No one yet knows how Fielder-Civil got hold of the camera phone; but if an outsider is revealed to have smuggled it into him then the police will be called on them. I wonder if Amy used her beehive….

It’s not even a month after his death and it’s already getting messy. Just who is the legal wife of the late Ike Turner? Some says that it’s Jeanette Bazzell but it seems that Ike and Audrey Madison, who lived together for the past ten years, were allegedly married on October 8, 2006. Sources say that they were in the process of getting a divorce but had recently reconciled before Ike died.

Whether Audrey was really married to the music legend, well, there’s a videotape of the supposed ceremony from Audrey’s MySpace. Audrey said that she wasn’t going to attend Ike’s funeral service because she didn’t like the company he kept in his final months, meaning Jeanette. But she showed up anyway.

Does anyone still remember Alli Sims? Britney Spears’ former assistant and so-called cousin is intent on making a career as a singer whether we like it or not. She was actually just interviewed for the new issue of Germany’s Maxi magazine. They know her in Germany?

She says “When I make it as a singer, I will have made it on my own. The people who help me with my career right now, I have met without Britney and that‘s good. I don‘t want her to help me, I wanna make it on my own. I wanna be the next Norah Jones. I just wanna be on stage and sing Blues. If I were a product, I would be Louis Vuitton. Classic, tasteful, timeless.” She’s also confident that she’ll get a deal come 2008.

If there were a nationwide competition for girls behaving badly, then American Idol star Jessica Sierra would have been the winner by far.

A couple of weeks ago we mentioned Jessica’s drunken confrontation with police leading to her arrest. She attempted to get out of this by offering the police officer oral sex to let him go. Then to top it off a porn tape, starring Jessica is to be released.

Not content with this double whammy; the troubled girl has completed her hat trick, by getting pregnant. All we know about the father is he a US rapper. And despite still being locked behind bars Jessica is said to be delighted by the news.

Well that’s one way to become famous I guess…

And this time it’s not a rumor. It’s just not the Spears you’d expect. It’s her sister Jamie Lynn

The Britney Spears and KFed custody hearing that went down earlier this week saw the pop wreck losing in some way or another. The Commissioner has nixed the scheduled hearing for next month and that’s not really good news for the troubled mama. It’s been reported that her lawyers want to convince the Commissioner to restore her right to drive with her kids and to restore some custody rights. Next month’s hearing has since been pushed to February 19.

I guess that the video that TMZ caught of Britney partying the same night she claimed she was too sick to show for her deposition really did her in.

Absolutely nothing can surprise me about this girl any longer. Hence my lack of shock when I discovered Amy Winehouse had been arrested in connection with the plot to free hubby Blake.

Earlier in the week we mentioned how Amy was required for questioning and even DNA testing over the alleged plot to fix her husbands trial. And yesterday she was arrested and held on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. After two hours of solid questioning, Amy was later released on bail.

But before she went for questioning she has to be calmed by lawyers and psychiatrists, as she was screaming and sobbing hysterically. Now is this a drug related reaction, or just a guilty one?

Ashley Tisdale has gone and disappointed a couple of more fans on Sunday night when the ‘High School Musical’ star cancelled yet another performance. She had already cancelled her performance at the Jingle Ball in South Florida on Saturday night and then she goes and does the same on Sunday night for Q102’s Jingle Ball in Philadelphia. More pain from surgery perhaps?A disappointed concertgoer shares that “When I got to the arena there was a note on the doors that said Ashley Tisdale would not be there. They didn’t even announce it on stage. They just put up a note.”

Apparently Jessica Simpson is one cowgirl Tony Romo doesn’t need.

She was at his game Sunday, cheering him on and wearing his jersey for support. Umm, well, support she did…cheering him on to the worst game of his career!

I’m not football fanatic, but I’m gonna guess the Cowboys weren’t too thrilled. What happened? Did the big, bad quarterback get nervous with Jess watching? It wasn’t like she was going to know if he screwed up anyway…did he forget who she is? She was just there for the tight pants.

We all hate the taxman but when you compare your bill to ex-Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona you will feel much better. The ex-singer faces a whopping £700,000 in taxes, with the first instalment of £200,000 due before Christmas. But she can’t pay it.

In a desperate bid to avoid being made bankrupt Kerry is heading to court to beg for a delay until after the New Year.

On top of that Kerry has recently admitted she can’t say that she will stay off the drugs; despite recently declaring she was clean. She revealed to TV chat show host Jonathon Ross, “I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. I can never say never. I really can’t”

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Kerry needs to get her head out of the clouds and sort herself out; before she ends up on the scrap heap like many others before her.

Or is he? Despite being odds on favourite to win, opera singer Rhydian Roberts was defeated in Saturday night’s talent show final.

The Welsh star is convinced that the results of the contest were rigged when rival Leon Jackson received ten percent more votes than he did. He isn’t a sore loser though…he has come to this conclusion after a huge number of fans have complained that they couldn’t get through to vote for him, but claim they got straight through when they tried Leon’s line.

Producers claim that a large volume of calls caused the voting bottleneck and insist that the contest was not rigged. However broadcasting watchdogs Ofcom will investigate the row after receiving 80 official complaints from viewers. Especially if you look back on the past year of TV phoneline and quiz scandals.

You never know the results of X-Factor could be reversed. Doesn’t matter anyway as Rhydian has a big money record contract regardless.

Lindsay Lohan went on a Las Vegas radio station on Friday morning where she pimped herself out, using her celebrity image to try and get some Hannah Montana tickets for a friend’s kids. The 21-year old placed the call to the ‘Mark and Mercedes in the Morning’ show on KMXB radio hoping to score tickets to the hottest concert of the year.

Apart from that, the hosts were able to keep Lindsay on the line for a few more minutes where they got some goods. Lindsay answered several questions over a range of subjects including her love life, crazy family and the paparazzi.

Court documents which outline a terrifying series of events that have left former Soundgarden and Audioslave front man Chris Cornell and his family in terror have leaked. Cornell is seeking a restraining order against a man who they say was hired to do the dirty work for the woman who happens to be Cornell’s ex-wife.

According to the documents filed in LA County Superior Court, Cornell claims his ex-wife, Seattle music legend Susan Silver, has sent his family “numerous threatening and terrifying death threats” and that she has threatened to harm Chris’ 2-year old son. It’s so terrifying that LAPD’s Threat Management Unit has taken the case. Ex-sheriff deputy Mathew Turner, hired by Silver, was said to be the stalker who the family is seeking a restraining order for.

Optical Illusions.
How many faces can you find?
I’m still not sure

Guess who was caught doing some drugs earlier this week and actually got away with it. Sir Paul McCartney!

The British media is reporting that the knighted singer was caught smoking what looked to be a big fat marijuana joint when he attended the Led Zeppelin concert in London earlier this week. And like I said, he got away with it! Why? Because he’s Paul McCartney, that’s why. An over-zealous worker at the concert venue who spotted him smoking even gushed “Don’t worry you’re a legend” to him. I guess those are the perks when you happen to be a former Beatle.

Amy Winehouse is one singer that everyone wishes to get some help. But according to her publicist, she is currently receiving medical help for her drug addiction as of Monday. Really now?

Wino is said to be currently in a program being supervised by doctors. She is also said to be writing a lot for a new record. Her publicist says “It’s a really difficult time and she’s been channeling it into her music.”

Amy is also said to be determined to make it to the Grammy Awards in February after getting 5 nominations last week.

I’m hoping that’s really the case. But I’m not holding my breath.

Yikes! An accident is bad enough; a death is horrific.

Back in October, 89-year-old Warren Gates allegedly didn’t yield to oncoming traffic and ran into a car driven by former TV host Gary Collins. While it was stated that the wreck was the fault of Gates, Collins was charged with a DUI.

Gates has been hospitalized since the accident and sources say he passed away on Friday. According to police officer Ana Aguirre, “It’s up to the coroners to determine whether Mr. Gates died as a result of trauma from the accident. There’s going to be a follow-up investigation after the autopsy is completed.”

Collins pled no contest to the DUI and will serve four days in jail.

Sad…so sad. Really, they should institute a maximum driving age or at least administer driving tests again.

After their London show on Saturday, the Take That boys decided to treat themselves to a well earned lads night out and hit a club.

And why not they are still hot-blooded males after all. The usual can be said for the evening. Their was dancing (Jason) and drinking of many beers (Howard) and all were pretty well behaved and seem to have had a very enjoyable evening. Fair play to them.

Meanwhile, whilst his fellow band mates were partying, Gary Barlow could be found sitting in the corner. Drinking Coffee. At 1am.

Errm Gary what happened to Take That and Party? Perhaps he’s getting boring in his old age.

Everyone has had their suspicions that Ricky Martin is gay. But now, a friend of the Latin pop star has accidentally outed him. Is anyone still shocked?Skin Care specialist Ole Henriksen recently had an interview on who he’d want to spend a romantic vacation with other than his partner. He said “I’d go for Stig Tøfting [former Danish soccer player], but since he’s straight, I’d say my client Ricky Martin.”

And Ole continues to talk about Ricky to Swedish gay magazine Salonk where he said that he knew for a fact that Ricky is gay. “He [Ricky Martin] is a bit more open about it these days than he used to be.”
