Heath's daughter left nothing in will
Heath Ledger's family have vowed to look after his ex lover Michelle Williams and their toddler daughter Matilda Rose after he left them nothing in his will. At the time of his death, the actor only had around $145,000 (around £72,500) in personal assets, but his family say this does not include the millions of dollars he was set to be paid for his role as the Joker in the new Batman movie. Heath made the will when he still lived in Australia, some time before his relationship with Michelle began. There are also rumours that the Ledger family are at war over Heath's fortune, with his uncle Hadyn saying he believes Heath's dad Kim could mismanage the money. "I'm concerned for Matilda," he said yesterday. "I have concerns about the distribution of funds."

More SATC squabbles?
The PR campaign for the Sex And The City movie will centre around Sarah Jessica Parker, and not her on-screen best friends. While movie bosses were desperate for magazines to feature all four ladies, fashion mags are refusing to oblige claiming they "just don't sell". This will do nothing to put to rest the  rumours of rows between the actresses who have reportedly argued over cash and exposure in the past. Instead SJP will appear solo on the cover of Vogue, as well as appearing in photoshoots with Chris Noth, who plays Mr Big.

Dancing On Ice feud
We’ve seen rowing judges and contestants – but now it’s the families that have had to be separated! All of the stars’ relatives, including those of Chris Fountain, the favourite to win, have been banned from the backstage area of the ITV show. They’re not even allowed in the green room, where the stars’ loved ones would usually watch the show with producers. A source said, “We had to ban everyone from backstage because all you could hear was sniping and bitching.” Can’t you all just learn to get along?!

Another baby for Matt
