Jackiey opens up about her new lover:
Jade Goody's mum Jackiey has spoken for the first time about her new love Jason Cooper, and says she thinks her late daughter will be happy that she's "no longer alone". Former soldier Jason, who Jackiey met in Tenerife, is the first man she's been with for 25 years, but she says everything with him feels "pure" with him. "I know Jade would be surprised I've found happiness with a man," admits Jackiey. "But she always said, 'Man or woman, I want you to be happy'." Jackiey's new man Jason, who is 15 years younger than his missus, said that he hopes their relationships "lasts forever". Despite her past and the fact that she was a lesbian for so many years, Jackiey is convinced her new relationship will go the distance. "We've found something so special," she says. Jason has hit back at claims he's only with Jackiey for her money and the fact that she's Jade's mum, saying, "To me Jackiey's just Jackiey. We clicked and we're happy."

Gordon's mum denies bollocking
Gordon Ramsay is having a very bad week. Yesterday the chef made an apology live on TV, after his remarks about an Australian TV host being a pig caused widespread outrage. The chef joked during his interview that his mum had called and given a right "bollocking" over the incident – but now she's claiming she did no such thing. "I certainly didn't tell him off," Helen Ramsay said indignantly. "I haven't spoken to him since the weekend." Oh dear. We doubt this fact being exposed is going to help Gordon's somewhat tattered reputation. Still, call us fickle if you like, but heatworld still loves him.

Slumdog stars admit they’re an item
Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto has finally admitted that she and co-star Dev Patel are more than just good friends. The pair were pictured cuddling and looking gooey-eyed at one another in Israel recently, and their fellow co-stars always hinted there was more going on. Freida has now admitted, "The friendship blossomed after the film, it got even stronger. This is all new to us." She also coyly confessed that she thought Dev was "a lovely boy". We love Love LOVE these two as a couple!

Alexa in trouble over £33k tax bill
TV presenter Alexa Chung is being pursued by the taxman – over an unpaid VAT bill said to be £33,000. Alexa has allegedly been warned that if the bill remains unsettled, then she could be forced to admit bankruptcy, losing any property and assets she owns in the process. The star has recently moved to New York with her boyfriend, The Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner, and her spokesman said last night that she "owed no money". Well, if her new MTV show The Alexa Chung Show takes off like she hopes, she won't have too many money worries in the future.
