Amy launches her own clothing range
Matted bouffant hair, smeary panda eyes and clothes that look like they’ve been picked up off the floor – it’s every girl’s dream look, right? Well, that’s what some marketing exec reckons, as Amy Winehouse is in talks to launch her own brand of clothes and make-up range so fans can copy her “unique” style. This will include hairspray and, naturally, heavy liquid eyeliner. A source said: “Amy’s style has been copied by girls around the country and there’s a lot of money to be made. It’s a very distinctive look.” A fashion industry expert added: “I think this stuff with sell very well in London. She has become a fashion icon despite not always looking too fresh.” Right… what do you guys reckon? Genius idea or completely insane?

Paris gets a NEW TV show
Yep, Paris Hilton is returning to reality TV with a new show which will search for a “new best friend.” The untitled project, expected to either be on MTV or VH1, will see the heiress on a journey to find a BFF. “Paris is tired of the haters and she’s looking for someone new. She’s looking for someone new and cool who she can trust,” said an industry spy. The new show will be “full of good chick drama and you’ll see a side of Paris not seen on Simple Life,” added the source. It sounds like A-mazing car-crash TV, but does anyone else think it’s a bit sad that she has to go on TV to find some mates? And will anyone actually want the job?

Russell Brand scores with Dita Von Teese
Russell Brand lived up to his ladies' man title when he bumped into Marilyn Manson’s ex Dita Von Teese in LA last week. Wild-haired Russ spotted the burlesque star at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in LA at a pre-Oscars event and bagged her mobile phone number. “At the risk of looking incontinent, I walked past her several times to the toilet to get her attention.” And get her attention he did. After chatting, they exchanged flirtatious text messages. Watch this space…

More Oscars hook-ups!
Randy Brand isn’t the only one getting some new action. Orlando "the elf" Bloom was spotted getting cosy after the Oscars with none other than Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter Rumer (if you don’t already know what she looks like then click here. Prepare your eyebrows to be raised). The aspiring actress, who is TWELVE years Orlando’s junior was seen snogging the British actor at Prince’s lavish afterparty with onlookers saying, “The chemistry was electric. They were all over each other.” We reckon Orlando is a brave man to take on the daughter of the Die Hard action man – Bruce is apparently a “very protective” dad. Also swapping spit on the night was Madonna’s ex,  Sean “sexy, but wrinkly” Penn and James Blunt’s ex Petra Nemcova. The supermodel was draped all over the actor – who is NINETEEN years her senior – at Elton John’s lavish bash, and he was heard telling friends that he thought the model was “f***ing fantastic”. No kidding, Sean.
