Peter and Abbey engaged!
Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy are engaged, it was confirmed last night. The lanky footie star got down on one knee and proposed to his long-term girlfriend Abbey during a romantic holiday in Sardinia – and she said yes. One source revealed, "Abbey was thrilled. She didn't have to think about it and said 'Yes' immediately." Friends say Peter had been thinking about popping the question for a while, but wanted to wait until the right moment. The couple have been dating for over four years, and both are said to want a huge wedding, although no official date has been set yet. We do like starting the day with some happy news – congratulations guys!

Jacko's brother: "The kids ARE his!"
Michael Jackson's brother Tito has slammed claims that Jacko was not the father of his three children, saying, "They are 100 per cent his!" he argued that anyone who didn't believe it should "look into the eyes" of Prince Michael, Paris and "Blanket" to see the likeness to their father. Tito says in a new interview, "Blanket is Michael all over again. It's them eyes. He has so much of Michael in him." Talking about the other two children, Tito goes on to say, "Paris and Prince are Michael's children. Just because they look white doesn't mean they are not his." However, the older brother of Jacko admitted he had "no idea" who Blanket's real mum was, saying, "That's the million dollar question. Nobody knows." He says all three children will grow up in a "healthy atmosphere" and that they'll be well taken care of.

Wayne and Coleen to star in reality show
Now that the top reality TV couple have gone their separate ways, a new pair have been approached to star in their own series. Wayne and Coleen Rooney are said to have agreed to let cameras follow them for a fly-on-the-wall documentary, apparently to be called Wayne's World. Cameras will record intimate details of the couple's day-to-day life, and follow Wayne's life as a footballer during the run-up to the birth of his first child. A friend said, "It's a big step for Wayne to let the cameras in. It won't be too intrusive. Anything they don't like will hit the cutting-room floor." Sky One have confirmed they are "in talks" to broadcast the show. Will you be watching?

Amy and Blake to divorce TODAY
Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil could be divorced by the end of the day, it was reported this morning. The wayward couple, who split for the last time during Blake's recent spell in prison, both accuse the other of committing adultery. It's thought a judge will grant them a Decree Nisi today and then the Decree Absolute will follow in six weeks time. One friend of Amy's said last night, "She is ready to move on. Amy has not had any contact with Blake for months and is focusing on the future." We must say we're relieved by this news. However much they loved each other – and they clearly did – their relationship was dangerously destructive.
