Kerry dumped by Iceland:
Rumours are circulating today that frozen food giant Iceland have decided to axe Kerry Katona from their TV ads. The star was initially signed up in 2005, but after two years of controversy and claims of drug-taking she is no longer seen as a model mum (was she ever?). It would seem that heatworld aren’t the only ones who’ve been cringing over her “That’s why mums go to Iceland” chirping. Campaign magazine named her appearance with Jason Donovan as one of the worst celebrity ads of the year, saying, “It is enough to bring your canapés up.” Kerry’s agent Max Clifford has refused to confirm the rumours, stating, “As far as I’m aware Kerry is not being axed. I’m having talks with Iceland in January.” Aside from the ads being a bit crap, we have a sneaky suspicion that we weren’t the only ones who spied Kerry with her Sainsburys carrier bags recently…

Oh no! Dancing On Ice contestants injured already
Dancing On Ice is set to get off to a slow start after it emerged yesterday that all but one of the contestants are injured! The brave (for brave, read crazy) celebs have already undertaken 600 hours of training between them and have racked up an impressive list of ailments. Linda Lusardi has suffered the most by breaking a bone in her foot, while Natalie Pinkham and Sarah Greene are battered and bruised. Clean Queen Aggie MacKenzie has a twisted knee, while Samantha Mumba is in pain with a torn ligament. The only star to escape injury so far is Hollyoaks’ Chris Fountain, who says he’s a “master of not falling over”. Blimey! Despite all this, ace skater and star trainer Christopher says this year’s show will be the best yet, “They are prepared to go that extra mile. There’s more jeopardy this year,” he promised.

Nicole Kidman is pregnant!
Despite denying it for the last few weeks, Nicole Kidman has finally announced that  she and singer husband Keith Urban (is it just us who says his surname in a Craig David garage style? Oh, OK then) are expecting their first child together (Nicole already has two adopted children with Tom Cruise). Nic's spokesperson, Wendy Day, says, "Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban confirmed today that they are expecting a baby. The couple are thrilled." And so are we, Nicole. Congrats!
 
K-Fed doesn't like Britney's new man
No one likes their ex's new boyfriend/girlfriend, but K-Fed's taking it to the next level with Britney's new "special friend", British paparazzi Adnan Ghalib. According to sources, lawyers for K-Fed are investigating the status of Ghalib's immigration, hoping that they can get Britney away from the photographer. "Dating a photographer who has tailed her for months is like sleeping with the enemy," says a source close to K-Fed. "They are concerned he is not looking out for her best interests and are worried about him being around the kids." Considering there have been rumours Ghalib is trying to sell exclusive pictures of Britney for a million dollars, we can kind of see where he's coming from...
