Kerry not going back to Iceland:
Kerry Katona has been sacked by Iceland following the latest drug revelations. Iceland made the decision after Kerry was secretly filmed snorting what was thought to be cocaine in her bathroom at home.

Kerry is said to be inconsolable at losing the money-spinning deal are being the face of the chain of stores for four years. A source close to the star said, “This is an absolute body-blow.”

Jordan bans, er, Jordan
Jordan has banned Peter Andre from calling her by her ‘stage’ name. Instead her estranged husband must refer to her as her real name, Katie Price, at all times.

Katie, who made her name as glamour model Jordan, also banned Pete from showing any footage of her son, Harvey, during the hour and a half programme, while an abusive phone conversation was also censored. The entire show had to be reedited and a new voiceover recorded to fit in with Katie’s demands. Three words Katie/Jordan/whoever you are – get over yourself.
