Strictly Come Dancing’s Matt Di Angelo has been blamed for the breakdown of Michelle Heaton and Andy Scott-Lee’s marriage.

The couple recently announced they were separating after 19 months of marriage and six years together, but Liberty X star Michelle had claimed the split was amicable.

But jilted Andy has spoken to the Sunday Mirror to set the record straight. “I’m speaking out now because I’m sick of the lies,” he said. “The truth is Matt Di Angelo killed my marriage. Michelle and I didn’t split up because we drifted apart – I ended it because she cheated on me before. But Matt was the straw the broke the camel’s back.”

Andy claims that Michelle and Matt got together in April, while they were both in Dublin to appear on You’re A Star, Ireland’s version of X Factor. Matt split from his girlfriend, Strictly Come Dancing partner Flavia Cacace, last week.

New mum Jennifer Lopez has been subpoenaed to testify in a case against P Diddy, her former boyfriend, and his involvement in a nightclub shooting.

J-Lo was in a New York club in December 1999 with P Diddy when shots were fired, injuring two people. His rap protégé, Shyne, is serving 10 years behind bars for his part in the shooting.

Natania Reuben, an innocent bystander who was shot in the face during the incident, is currently suing the two rappers for $130 million. Now Jennifer must reveal all she knows about that night after being served papers by Reuben's lawyers. The star has never publicly revealed her account of the shooting as she was never called as a witness at the 2001 criminal trial of Diddy and Shyne.

It’s good to see that Paris Hilton has finally followed up on her post-jail promise to do more for the needy people of the world.

The 27-year-old heiress has donated an “extremely generous” amount of money towards the construction of a children’s hospital in LA.

“The children I have met through my involvement with Childrens Hospital have truly touched my heart,” Paris said in a statement. “I am proud to make a donation and lend my name to the fundraising effort to help children who are facing terribly serious illnesses.” The centre will focus on children with cancer and blood diseases, and will open in 2010.

After spending 23 days in jail last year for violating probation on an alcohol-related driving charge, Paris promised to visit Rwanda and “to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis.”

Uma Thurman has become engaged to Swiss multimillionaire businessman Arpad ‘Arki’ Busson.

The actress, who has two children with ex-husband Ethan Hawke, has been showing off an enormous diamond ring featuring an eight-carat centre stone surrounded by 20 smaller diamonds. “It’s the most beautiful piece I’ve ever seen,” a friend told People magazine. “Arki did a wonderful job.”

The glamorous pair began dating last summer after Busson split from supermodel Elle Macpherson after ten years together. The couple have two sons, Flynn, 10, and Cy, five.

Until now, Uma and Arki have had a transatlantic relationship – he lives in London, she in New York. No wedding date has been set.

Kylie Minogue appears to have rekindled her romance with Olivier Martinez, as they appeared touchy-feely during a lunch date in Paris.

The couple dated for four years but split in early 2007 amid claims Olivier had cheated on the pop princess. Kylie, who has been single since the split, has since admitted in interviews that she considers the Frenchman the love of her life.

Earlier this week the pair were photographed sharing a meal at Ginger restaurant in Paris with Kylie’s parents and her stylist, Will Baker. Kylie appeared at ease as she laughed and joked with her ex, leaning her head on his shoulder at one point as he draped his arm over her shoulders.

According to reports, Olivier finished off the date by buying Kylie a bunch of flowers from a roadside stall.

Patrick Swayze has spoken publicly about his battle with pancreatic cancer.

It was revealed back in March that the Dirty Dancing star had an aggressive form of the cancer, with some reports stating he only had weeks to live.

The 55-year-old has been undergoing intensive treatment at Stanford University medical centre in California and sticking to a strict diet, including lots of fresh fruit and vegetable juice, in an attempt to beat the disease.

He said: “My treatments are working and I am winning the battle. I am juicing every day along with other treatments and all I can say is that it’s working fine and really well.”

Madonna and Guy Ritchie have been living separately for months and are planning a divorce, says the Daily Mirror.

According to the report, the couple’s seven-year marriage is coming to an end and the pair have had separate bedrooms in their London mansion (Madonna’s on the second floor, Guy’s on the fourth) for some time.

“They’re obviously sad but they’re dealing with it like grown-ups,” a friend is quoted as saying. “Things have just run their natural course... They live like brother and sister rather than husband and wife and thought it best to call it a day... They have just grown apart. They’ve decided they’re better off as friends. It’s sad but they're determined to keep it amicable.”

The Mirror states that Madonna and Guy will officially announce their separation when Madonna’s forthcoming world tour ends in Mexico in November.

Amy Winehouse is suffering from the early stages of emphysema, her father has revealed.

Mitch Winehouse told the Sunday Mirror that his daughter’s drug use has caused the illness. “With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes, her lungs are all gunked up,” he explained. “There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She’s got 70 percent lung capacity.”

Amy has been in hospital since collapsing at her home on June 16. Thankfully, tests have so far ruled out tuberculosis, but there’s no doubt that the 24-year-old’s health is cause for concern and she is unlikely to perform at Glastonbury this weekend as planned.

Naomi Campbell has been given community service after being convicted of assaulting two police officers when her bag went missing at Heathrow Terminal 5 in April.

The supermodel could have received a jail sentence for the assault; instead she was sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid community work after pleading guilty to all charges at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court in  westLondon.

During the hearing, prosecutors told how the model went into an uncontrollable rage while on board a BA plane, shouting at staff to find her lost luggage and kicking, spitting and swearing at two police officers who had boarded the plane to arrest her.

After the sentencing, Campbell apologised to the Metropolitan police but stopped short of extending that apology to BA: ''As for British Airways, I don't apologise,” she said. “I just think they're disgusting because there are people still waiting for their luggage after months and you know I just feel I have travelled with them for many years and I just think they have been harsh. I was called a racial name on that flight and that was part of my reaction.”

British Airways have denied any allegations of racism and, according to some news reports, they are now considering suing Naomi for libel.

Two members of Girls Aloud are said to be mighty peeved that Cheryl Cole has bagged the biggest job on TV as the new judge on X Factor.

With the band winding down, apparently Sarah Harding had fancied herself as a top-notch TV presenter and was reportedly gutted to hear that Cheryl had won such a high-profile job. “It's getting really competitive,” a friend of Sarah’s said. “Sarah always thought that she'd be the TV girl in the group, not Cheryl.”

Nadine Coyle, meanwhile, feels overshadowed by Cheryl’s growing profile both here and in the States. Lead singer Nadine always assumed she’d be the first member of Girls Aloud to have a solo career and was apparently surprised when Cheryl lent her vocals to Will.I.Am’s hit single, Heartbreaker.

A source close to Nadine is quoted as saying: “The other girls are very put out that Cheryl has landed the judging role.  They knew she really wanted it, but some of them found the news hard to handle, especially Nadine. At the end of the day, all the girls are talented, but Nadine has got the best voice and as it’s a singing contest she should be the one for the job.”

Cheryl Cole has been sobbing uncontrollably during X Factor auditions, which are currently taking place throughout the UK.

Seems that Cheryl has been so moved by the hard luck stories of some of the pop wannabes that she hasn’t been able to control the tears... or perhaps she’s thinking back to her days as a down-on-her-luck waitress in Newcastle and weeping with joy at her good fortune?

Cheryl’s delicate state could also be attributed to her turbulent love life – she and husband Ashley are still attempting to repair their relationship after he cheated, but new reports state that the Girls Aloud singer visited a divorce lawyer as recently as last week.

Whatever the reason, you can be sure that a tearful judge will translate to ratings gold once X Factor returns to our screens!

Amy Winehouse remains under observation in hospital after passing out at her home on Monday.

According to her manager, Amy “recovered quickly” but was taken to the London Clinic for tests.

"Doctors are unsure of the cause of the incident and Amy is undergoing tests. They want to make sure she is OK, but it wasn't an emergency dash,” father Mitch Winehouse told reporters.

The stress of husband Blake Fielder-Civil’s trial is obviously taking its toll on Amy – the latest revelation is that Blake offered a fellow prisoner £20,000 to “cause damage” Pete Doherty, who he believed was having an affair with his wife.

Coldplay singer Chris Martin has shocked BBC staff by storming out of an interview.

According to a BBC News report, the frontman was midway through an interview for Radio 4 arts show Front Row when he asked to leave because he was "not really enjoying this" and that he didn’t like "having to talk about things".

That left Will Champion, Coldplay's drummer, alone to answer the rest of the questions, before Chris finally agreed to return for one last question, though he remained reluctant to talk about the band’s new album, Viva La Vida.

Needless to say, Viva La Vida looks certain to top the British chart this week.

Cheryl Cole will replace Sharon Osbourne on the judging panel of The X Factor, in a deal reportedly worth £800,000. Sharon quit the show last week after four years on the job, reportedly due to on-set tension with fellow judge Dannii Minogue. But she won't be out of work for long - Sharon is rumoured to be joining the contestant line-up for this year's Dancing On Ice.

ITV announced Cheryl’s appointment last night, which means the Girls Aloud singer will shortly take her place on the panel at X Factor auditions alongside Dannii and fellow judges Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh.

This news fuels the rumour that Girls Aloud are planning on taking an indefinite break from recording now that their European tour is complete. As well as her new TV role, Cheryl is said to be working on a solo album.

Jessica Alba gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Honor Marie Warren, on June 7. Jessica’s husband, director’s assistant Cash Warren, told reporters the new arrival was “beautiful” as he entered Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA on Sunday.

The couple met while Jessica was filming Fantastic Four and got engaged after announcing her pregnancy in December. They had a quiet wedding at a Beverly Hills registry office on May 19 and moved into a $4 million Beverly Hills home just a couple of weeks before their daughter’s arrival.

“It’s a lot of stress to buy a house, have a baby and get married in six months," Jessica said ahead of the birth. "It’s a lot of life-changing decisions. I'm really, really secure and happy in my relationship."

After a home video of Amy Winehouse singing a racist song was leaked to News Of The World, the singer apologised to photographs on her doorstop on Sunday morning.

In the video, which was taped by Amy’s husband Blake before he was jailed last year, she and a friend sing  a reworking of Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, complete with racist gestures. The video also shows Amy surrounded by what appears to be drug paraphernalia.

In related news, Blake Fielder-Civil has admitted attacking a pub landlord and attempting to pervert the course of justice. Blake, who has been behind bars at the Pentonville Prison awaiting sentencing since November, had previous pleaded not guilty to attacking 36-year-old James King and later bribing him to withdraw a statement about the attack and leave the country.

Pop rebel Lily Allen has apologised for her behaviour at the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards, or the 'Glammies'.

The never understated Lily was sporting bright pink hair to pick up her award for the magazine's editor's choice award and then continued to drink with brother Alfie and celeb chums Mark Ronson, Kelly Osbourne and James Corden.

Nursing a hangover on Wednesday morning, Lily wrote an apology on her MySpace blog:

"Last time I wrote here, I was defending my honour and dignity, explaining my innocence and also my outrage at the press for insinuating my behaviour was embarrassing.

"This time I'm putting my hands up, I got very drunk last night, too drunk. It's not cool getting that drunk. I feel awful and I have to thank my little brother Alf for getting me home safely."

She added: "Kids, drink responsibly or you'll end up looking like this: Not pretty! Was quite fun though, from what I can remember. I need a fry up now."

We have the evidence of Ms. Allen's state as she did an interview at the end of the night. Check it out here...

Coleen and Wayne’s wedding will be one of the biggest bashes of the year, but Coleen will certainly not be big on her big day.
The Scouse beauty has reportedly lost so much weight that now her £100,000 wedding dress is too big around her bust. With the wedding just ten days away, she’s had to fly to New York to get her dress altered. The meringue dress, with a 25ft train, was her favourite part of the whole ceremony.

“Coleen is really stressing out as this really is every bride’s nightmare,” says a friend. “Coleen has been trying to make sure everything is in place, although at the same time she has been working with a personal trainer to keep in shape. It looks like the stress of it all has made her shed a few pounds too many.”

Ahh poor Coleen. She has to fly back to the States to adjust her dress which costs as much as many people’s houses and is the length of many people’s back gardens! Surely a bride’s nightmare would be when she’s too BIG for her dress as she has no personal trainer!?
