Pete splits with new love
So there we were thinking that Pete Doherty had got himself back on the straight and narrow and left all bad influences behind – including Kate Moss. But the newly clean Babyshambles singer has dumped his fiancée Irina Lazareanu after a blazing row on Monday night and now claims he wants Kate back. Idiot! Friends say that Pete dumping Irina comes as no surprise, describing her as "bossy." The source said, "No one could stand her. Irina used to call and whinge that he should come over because she needed him. She was always telling Pete what to do and where to go, and in the end he had to tell her it was over." But with friends saying that both Pete and Kate are still besotted with each other, it looks as though the unhealthy duo might be set to reunite. Oh dear Lord, no.

Jake and Reese ARE a couple
It's been hinted at for a while, but pictures emerging today of Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are proof enough that the pair are more than just friends. The duo were snapped on a romantic weekend away in Rome holding hands and wrapping their arms around one another. Rumours that Reese and Jake were more than just friends emerged when they became close on set of their new film Rendition – but the romantic link has always been denied. Knowing them, they'll still be denying it as they walk down the aisle…
 
Halle “sorry” for race remark
Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry was at the centre of a race row last night following a Jewish joke on a US chat show. Halle, who’s five-months pregnant with her first child, was shown a morphed photograph of herself with a big nose on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show and remarked, “Here’s where I look like my Jewish cousin.” TV producers cut it from the broadcast, but an audience member said, “She should be ashamed of herself.” The actress later apologised, “I didn’t mean to offend anybody.”

Russell Brand for mayor
Our favourite lacquer-lover Russell Brand says he will take on Ken Livingstone and actually RUN for London mayor – if one million people sign an online petition. Russ would run for the Brand Spanking New London Party (BSNLP) if he gets enough support – whose manifesto is to create a cash-free economy, swapping money for “wonders” and “gasps”. “I’m not standing unless I can win,” the presenter said. Oh my God, heatworld so wants this to happen if only to see if he makes black clothes compulsory in London, so sign up at russellbrandformayor.com NOW!
