Swine flu fears for John & Edward:
The X Factor camp is fearing the worst after twins John & Edward came into contact with someone who has swine flu. All the X Factor acts visited Great Ormond Street Hospital earlier this week, but John, Edward and Rachel Adedeji all came into contact with a security guard who has since been diagnosed with swine flu. The worry is that if JEdward have contracted the disease, then not only will they been unable to perform, but they could also pass it on to other people in the house, which would mean disaster for the show. So far, the boys are showing no symptoms, but the X Factor crew are keeping a close eye on them. We really hope they're well enough to perform this weekend. The show wouldn't be the same without them!

Katie Price talks sex with Gordon Ramsay
Katie Price told chef Gordon Ramsay that she's "filthier" in bed when she's sober, and also denied that she's in any way high maintenance. The reality star was in Gordon's kitchen as part of her guest appearance on the new series of The F Word, where she challenges him to a cook-off with her chicken kiev recipe. "People say that if I'm sober, I'm better, well-performed in bed," Katie told an amused Gordon Ramsay, adding cheekily, "More filth I should say!" She also told the chef that her current squeeze Alex Reid is much healthier than Peter Andre. Talking about her lifestyle, Katie then denied that she's high maintenance. Unsurprisingly, Gordon laughed at her and replied, "Katie Price, excuse me? That's like me saying I'm a vegetarian!" He may have a point. The F Word starts on Tuesday, at 9pm on Channel 4.

Leona on fan assault: "It could have been worse"
Brave Leona Lewis says she's not going to dwell on the fact she was assaulted by a fan, and has no plans to increase her level of personal security. "It is just something you have to deal with when you have fame," she shrugged. "The positives far outweigh the negatives, and I don't like to dwell on the negatives." Leona added that she's a very "positive" person overall, and although she has been left shaken by the attack, she's over it now. Peter Kowalczyk queued for two hours to meet Leona, but then lashed out and hit her in the face as soon as he got close enough. He was arrested, but later deemed unfit to appear in court after being sectioned by the Mental Health Act.

Kerry Katona gets an acting job?
Kerry Katona is in talks to get a part on popular ITV1 comedy Benidorm, it has been reported today. The troubled former Iceland star has always maintained that acting is one of her ambitions, and friends say she's hoping this small part could help to salvage her career. "She's been through a lot in the last 12 months," says one pal. "She thinks being an actress will be a new beginning for her." Kerry herself once said of Benidorm, "I could make that programme go with a real zing." Do you think Kerry would make a good actress?
