Uh-oh... Jordan is definitely back
Katie Price warned that she was going to Ibiza to let her hair down, and boy has she done just that! The model was pictured dancing on tables at a club last night, swaying around and lifting up her dress to reveal a tiny thong. Katie, who has also been posing for calendar snaps while on the Spanish island, was seen downing champagne with her pals – including new male model pal Anthony and ex Matt Peacock – and being rude to any fans who dared approach her. One disgusted girl, who Katie called "ugly" after refusing to pose for a photo, said, "I only asked for a picture. What a complete bitch." Clubbers at Eden, where Katie was partying, claim that at one stage the worse-for-wear model shouted, "I'm over Pete. I can snog who I want!" Meanwhile, Pete is keeping a low profile while holidaying with Junior, Princess and Harvey in Cyprus. He is determined to not let anything jepordise his access to them in the future.

Strictly's Arlene axed for "sexier" woman
Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips has been axed from the hit BBC show, amid claims that bosses want a younger and "sexier" girl on the panel to attract younger viewers. Rival show The X Factor nabs the desirable 16-34-year-old viewers every year, and Strictly bosses think that a new judge could help them nick some back. One source explained, "It's nothing personal against Arlene – she's been brilliant." It is being widely hinted that Strictly winner Alesha Dixon is being lined up to replace her, with one source describing her "perfect" for the job. "Nothing has been signed," the insider continues, "But bosses really want Alesha as she has everything they're looking for." Do you think Alesha would make a good Strictly judge, and how do you feel about Arlene getting the boot?

The Beckhams are coming to London
David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly searching for a new property in London, fuelling speculation that Becks will move back to an European club when the footie season ends in November. Estate agents have been told to draw up a list of properties large enough for the whole Beckham clan, and it's thought the family will move in after the summer. The couple already own Beckingham Palace in Hertfordshire, but pals say it makes sense for them to be in London due to their business interests. It is also thought that David Beckham may even transfer to London club Chelsea. What will his old Man Utd teammates think?

Su-Bo to perform on America's Got Talent
Susan Boyle has been invited to sing on the US version of Britain's Got Talent, when the new series kicks off next week. The West Lothian singer, who has been too exhausted to complete all the live tour dates over here, is already a big star over in the States. Judge Piers Morgan, who also works on the US show, said last night, "If she's up for it and she feels well enough then our feeling is she probably will – absolutely." He added that Su-Bo "still gets tired sometimes", but that she's doing her best. As well as touring, she is also busy trying to record her debut album.
