Peter Andre hits back at Dwight Yorke:
Yesterday Dwight Yorke slammed Peter Andre during an interview on BBC radio Five Live, branding the singer "disrespectful", but Pete is refusing to take the criticism lying down. Talking about Dwight's comments about his relationship with Harvey, Pete explained, "Harvey is my son and I love him. Nothing Dwight or anybody says will change how much I feel for my little boy. I had no idea Dwight felt that way towards me so it came as quite a shock. Although I am not Harvey's biological dad and Dwight is, it doesn't make a difference." Dwight warned yesterday that he may be taking legal advice in a bid to see more of his son, but for now the only thing Peter Andre is worried about is spending time with his kids – including Harvey. "That's when I'm happiest," he admits.

Katy Perry having secret fling with Russell Brand?
There were rumours that she'd kissed Russell Brand and liked it at the VMAs recently, and now it seems Katy Perry has well and truly fallen for the comedian's charms. Russell is alleged to have sent Katy a love poem and then asked her to send one back, which she did. However, Katy's idea of a poem is apparently a picture of her boobs with the word "poem" scrawled across them. Naturally this very much impressed Mr Brand, and the next thing you know he whisked her off on a romantic break to Thailand. Although neither Katy or Russell have gone public with their new relationship, she did make a few hints on her Twitter page, writing that her trip had been "magical" and that she's "been schooled on Morrissey, Oscar Wilde and Peter Sellers". Sounds a lot like Mr Brand to us. But what about her supposed boyfriend poor Travis McCoy? We'll happily provide a (naked) shoulder for him to cry on...

Michael Jackson was in "good health" before his death
A leaked autopsy report has revealed that Michael Jackson was, in fact, healthy at the time of his death, and that it was definitely the injection of a powerful sedative that caused his death. It had been rumoured that the star had a weak heart and was suffering from malnutrition, but this has now been proved false. Jacko was in fact the correct weight for his height, and the only things notable was a slight inflammation of his lungs. The star was found to have a black tattoo under his hairline to disguise his slightly receding hair, his eyebrows were tattooed on and his lips were coloured pink. Patches of the star's skin across his chest, arms and back had also turned white, proving that the skin-bleaching rumours were simply myth.

Kate Moss to sing for Simon Cowell
She'smade no secret of the fact that she'd love to become a professional singer, and this weekend Kate Moss is taking the ultimate challenge and singing in front of Simon Cowell. Kate will sing Summertime by Ella Fitzgerald at the music mogul's 50th birthday bash, and you have to admire the woman's bravery. As well as Simon himself, Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke will also be performing, and even Mariah Carey is a rumoured guest. We certainly wouldn't want our vocal talents to be compared to any of those divas. We really hope someone makes a video of it!
