Joy for Jade as Jack goes free

Jade Goody’s boyfriend Jack Tweed has been released from jail just four months into his 18-month sentence for assault.

jadegoody_bald_rex190"It's great to have him back, I feel really happy," Jade told reporters as she waited for the 21-year-old at the gates of HMP Wayland in Norfolk on Tuesday.

The reality TV star donned a leopard-print scarf to greet Jack, but as they arrived at Jade’s Essex home, she seemed happy to be photographed without the scarf, showing the side effects of chemotherapy.

The pair are expected to marry soon after making engagement plans while Jack was behind bars, but for now he will not be able to live with his girlfriend – under the terms of his release, Jack has been fitted with an electronic tag and must spend each night at his mother's house.

Prince Harry single again

After a five-year romance, Prince Harry and girlfriend Chelsy Davy have gone their separate ways.

princeharry_chelsy_pa150 According to reports, it was 23-year-old Chelsy who did the dumping, after the pair returned from a recent trip to Mauritius.

It’s thought Chelsy had become unhappy with the amount of time she spent with the prince. The South African heiress is studying law at Leeds University, while Harry will spend the next 21 months training to become a helicopter pilot.

The story broke in News Of The World, which quoted a royal source as saying the break-up was amicable: “Yes, they have split, they are not together. But they are still friendly and still amicable. They have been going out for five years and the relationship had run its course. This happens.”

Kelly Osbourne in rehab

Kelly Osbourne has just checked herself into a rehab clinic in Los Angeles. This is not the first time Kelly has sought help for an addiction – she received treatment for an addiction to prescription painkillers in 2004. 

kelly_sharonosbournepa190Mother Sharon Osbourne confirmed the 24-year-old had voluntarily entered a clinic, in an interview with US magazine Radar: “Yeah, Kelly's in rehab. What else can we say? She knew that it was the right thing to do at this point and we’re proud she did it. The family is all standing behind her. We just pray that everything’s going to be OK... This is one of the absolute worst things that a parent can face, for their child to go through rehab. And not once, but twice.”

Sharon added that Kelly is expected to complete her treatment in 30 days, and will reveal why she was getting help once she is out.

The family were all in LA working on a new Osbournes Reloaded variety show.

Britney Spears is on the verge of signing a £10 million deal to write her autobiography, the Mirror reports. britneyspears_leno_rex190

Kelly Osbourne arrested

Kelly Osbourne has been arrested for assault after allegedly slapping a woman in a nightclub. The 24-year-old has been bailed and must return to a central London police station in March to help police with their investigation.

kellyosbourne_lukeworrell_pa190 The daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne is accused of hitting gossip columnist Zoe Griffin after she wrote a piece for the Sunday Mirror last August which insulted Kelly’s boyfriend, model Luke Worrall, and joked that he didn’t know what an earthquake was.

Following that article, Griffin published another piece describing how Kelly had confronted her during a chance encounter in Punk nightclub: “She (Kelly) shouted loudly in my ear: ‘I have an issue with you. My boyfriend knows what an earthquake is and everyone has been laughing at him and he's upset.’ (Then) I felt a hard slap to my right cheekbone. I put my hand to my face while my friends looked on aghast.

“Soon Kelly came rampaging back over with a female friend jabbing a finger in the air, telling me that I'd have to watch my back if I shared my story with readers of this column. Well sorry Kelly, I won't be silenced by bullies.”

A police spokesperson said: “We can confirm a 24-year-old woman attended a central London police station by appointment on January 2. She was arrested for common assault relating to an alleged incident in Soho in the early hours of August 29, 2008.”

Kerry Katona loses six stone

Kerry Katona has slimmed down to eight stone and admits she’s now “too thin” in a new interview with OK! magazine.kerrykatona_pa190

The mother of four underwent £15,000 in surgery to lose weight following the birth of son Maxwell last year. A personal trainer and healthy eating regime helped drop the remaining pounds, and now Kerry says she’d like to put weight on.

“I was 14 stone, maybe a little over, when I was pregnant with Max, then afterwards I stayed about 12 stone,” she told OK. “I'm eight stone now but I want to be eight and a half. I'll be happy then because I don't like being this thin!”

Despite a hellish end to 2008, during which our readers voted Kerry’s shambolic appearance on This Morning last November as the Most Cringeworthy Moment of the year, Kerry is busier than ever: she is set to fly to Nashville to attempt to become a country and western singer for an MTV documentary.

New celebrity births

There has been another rush of celebrity births, with the inevitable batch of unusual names that goes along with that.

jennifergarner_benaffleck_rex190 Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner have welcomed their second daughter, named Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck. Seraphina is thought to derive from the Biblical term ‘seraphim’ which means ‘fiery ones’. Perhaps the showbiz couple are expecting a handful when the newborn gets a little older and teams up with big sister Violet, now three.

Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson have named their new arrival Dexter. Born on January 11, he’s the little brother of 16-month-old Ruby. Charlotte now 22, claims to want to have six children by the time she’s 32!

Actress Rebecca Romijn, best known for playing Alexis Meade in the Channel 4 comedy Ugly Betty, welcomed twin girls with husband Jerry O’Connell on December 28, which they named Charlie Tamara Tulip (after Jerry’s brother Charlie) and Dolly Rebecca Rose (after Dolly Parton, Rebecca’s favourite singer).

Meanwhile, figures just released in Australia show that the most popular celebrity baby name Down Under in 2008 was Cruz, with dozens of parents naming their newborns after David and Victoria Beckham’s youngest son. Brooklyn was the next most popular celebrity name, followed by Shiloh, the name of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter.

Man lunges for Diana Vickers at gig

X Factor’s Diana Vickers was involved in controversy on Friday night as a brawl broke out on stage during her performance of Take That’s Patience at a gig in Salisbury.

Diana Vickers (Image (c) PA) The singer was caught up in the melee as security wrestled a member of the audience away from the 17-year-old as he tried to put his arm round her.

Diana, obviously flustered by the event, was taken off stage until the furore had subsided, but was subject to boos by some heartless members of the crowd.

However, the reality TV star returned to continue her gig five minutes later.

Blake divorcing Amy Winehouse

Blake Fielder-Civil has instructed a lawyer to begin divorce proceedings against Amy Winehouse after she spoke to the News Of The World about her holiday romance with 21-year-old Josh Bowman.

amyblakerex150 Blake’s lawyer confirmed to the Daily Mail that his client made the decision to divorce Amy after seeing photos of her hugging and kissing her new man while on holiday in St Lucia.

“I don’t know what’s going on with us now and for the time being I’ve just forgotten I’m even married,” Amy told the News Of The World. “I’m just here on my own, happy and having a good time with Josh. I’ll deal with Blake when I get back. But our whole marriage was based on doing drugs. So being with someone like Josh is much better for me.”

Amy also told the newspaper she had kicked drugs for good after hitting rock bottom. “Before I came out here I looked at a photo of myself in the newspaper and was horrified. My skin was a spotty mess and I was so pale and skinny. I thought to myself, ‘Girl, you got to sort yourself out or you’ll be dead soon.’”

Blake remains behind bars after being sent back to jail in December for failing a drugs test.
