Dancing On Ice DJ Neil Fox Voted Off

Dancing on Ice. DJ Neil Fox voted off after a skate-off with the feuding Kate Burley

The twenty year old feud continues between Ulrika Johnsson and Kay Burley on and off the ice. An insider has said that it is unpleasant for the rest of the contestants as the atmosphere behind the scenes is extremely frosty as the two, apparently, cannot stand each other. Ulrika, it is said, harbours a grudge against news anchor Kay for bossing her around when she was a secretary many years ago and is determined to be crowned Ice Queen of ‘Skating on Ice’. Apparently the two have refused to use the room for the competitors to relax in, in case they bump into each other. They will not even visit the masseuse who is based on the premises. Reportedly Ulrika has ordered her costumes to be ‘sexed up’ in an attempt to outshine Kay. She certainly wowed the audience last Saturday as the judges put her fourth. Ulrika has reportedly said that she wants to keep her 52,000 pound fee rather than give it to charity. Apparently Ulrika has been giving the producers headaches with her ‘diva-like’ strops during rehearsals and behaving as if she’s the only star in the show, bringing her own make-up and hair team with her, according to an insider. No matter what is said about the two women, they are both fantastic skaters and it is a mystery as to why Kay is receiving such low scores from the judges.

The skating has been of a very high standard from the beginning with an interesting group of participating celebrities. When watching the show it feels as if we have stepped into an ice palace and the décor is superb. Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean commence the evening with an awesome skating number and show the manoeuvres expected from the competitors that evening. This is a show well worth tuning into it.

During filming for ITV”’s WAGS Boutique, Cassie Sumner and Michaela Henderson-Thynne had to be pulled apart by the other WAGs after a furious row.

Trouble started between Michaela, 21, who dates England and Middlesbrough midfielder Stewart Downing, 22, and Cassie,who dates Chelsea star Michael Essien.

The row started when Michaela, on the Bows team, said she had arranged a meeting with fashion guru Vivienne Westwood, 65.

The Better Half team’s Cassie scoffed at the plan and Michaela blasted: “You’ll be eating your words Cassie I swear.”

Cassie, pictured, hit back: “At least I’ve got some words. You don’t know anything about Vivienne Westwood.

“How can you stock something you have no bloody knowledge about?”

Then she leaned over and put her hand against Michaela’s face, saying: “Back in your face.”

Later the pair had to be separated by their team-mates, and they will now barely talk to each other.

That must make for a lovely working atmosphere!

Jamie Oliver Launches Jamies Chef On Channel 4

Tags: ,
January 31, 2007 – 2:21 pm

Can a former car thief or someone who left school with no qualifications run their own restaurant? That’s what Jamie Oliver wants to find out in this new four-part series.

Five years ago Jamie’s Kitchen followed his attempts to turn around the lives of a group of unemployed youngsters by training them to cook at new restaurant Fifteen. Now 50 trainees have graduated from the charitable scheme, while similar restaurants have launched in Cornwall, Amsterdam and Melbourne. But Jamie wants to take the next giant leap: helping one of them to set up their own restaurant.

He chooses four of the young chefs to undergo a crash course in the skills they’re going to need to succeed. Dennis is an ex-joyrider, Taz came to the UK with nothing in her teens, Aaron wants to give his daughters a better life, and John travelled from rural Ireland to seek his fortune.

As well as running a kitchen, the trainees will be handling front of house, sourcing ingredients and paying the bills. They’ve already come a long way, but it’s a massive step up and some of them are finding it really tough and Jamie’s belief that the trainees can be just like him has to be balanced by the charity’s understandable caution. And with the prospect of cooking for Jamie’s birthday party looming, the pressure is on the young chefs. Next week the winner is chosen, then the series follows their attempts to transform a run-down rural boozer into a successful upmarket gastropub.

Jamies Chef airs on Channel 4 on 31/01/2007 at 21:00

Jo O'Meara - Celebrity Big BrotherAfter watching Jo O’Meara’s interview on GMTV yesterday morning, The Duchess Of York, Sarah Ferguson asked her spokeswoman to phone the show and ask people to leave Jo O’Meara alone.

The Duchess said: “I didn’t watch the show and I don’t condone anything that was said or done. But I know what it’s like to be vilified. I’ve made mistakes.

“I watched her on television this morning and I saw this girl who was broken. All I’m saying is, it’s time to remove her from the stocks. Now it should stop.�

Presenter Fiona Phillips told viewers: “Sarah, the Duchess, is watching this morning. She is very upset by the Jo interview.

“She says she knows what it is like to be vilified and misrepresented and has a lot of sympathy for Jo.�

I wonder would she have been so understanding if she had seen the evil expiring from Jo whilst in the Big Brother house?

Celebrity Big Brother Aftermath…Dirk Benedict and Jermaine Jackson,amongst others, have their say

Celebrity Big Brother Aftermath…Dirk Benedict and Jermaine Jackson, Amongst Others, Have Their Say.
 

On BBC1 today, Jermaine Jackson stressed that there had been no racism in the Big Brother house and that he saw the fight as a ‘girl’s thing’.  He had gone on to say that there was not a racist bone in any of their bodies. Dirk Benedict on GMTV said that it was a territorial fight between Jade and Shilpa as Shilpa had wanted to control the kitchen and cooking and had even thrown HIM out of the kitchen.  Many reporters have been writing that this is a fuss about nothing and that it was time to move on.  A TV Presenter asked ‘Are we overacting?’ Others have felt that Big Brother should be held accountable for apparent allegations of footage being withheld which may have shown a very different picture from the one the public was exposed to.  One newspaper said the bosses of Channel 4 and C4 would like to have changes before another Big Brother takes place to avoid it spiralling out of control again. (Irish Sun, Jan. 30th). 

If we had a show where frogs had there legs pulled off, for fun and entertainment, there would be an uproar but we have been watching people’s lives being destroyed, put into ridiculous situations, 14 celebrities passing through the BB house with one shower to share, footage supposedly being withheld or shown, distorting the truth of a situation for publicity and destroying reputations, careers and people in the process, deliberately bringing in controversial characters for extra drama, (no matter how damaging), for media coverage and to draw more viewers…are we any better than the ‘frog’ people if we support this sort of thing?  BB could be more entertaining if it gave adequate, comfortable accommodation with a spare room for the snorer or problem person, relied more on entertaining tasks than on fights in the house and did not starve the inmates for further ‘entertainment.’  The tasks were fantastic and it was really great watching the various celebrities getting to know one another and telling their stories.  The fighting and vulgarity ruined the show and could have been stopped by Big Brother as soon as it was obvious that putting Jade Goody and family with some of the housemates, was not going to work. (Jade has collapsed and is in the Prior where stars go for rehab and is being treated for depression and stress with Jack Tweedy by her side). Shilpa Shetty and Jade Goody, being two strong charactered women, could never live happily under one roof.  The storm might have brought in eight million viewers and monitory gain but at what  price to three young  EX-celebrities??????
