More details emerge about Amy’s new bloke:
It was revealed over the weekend that Amy has been cheating on husband Blakeincarcerated with her manager's aide, Alex Haines, despite his job being to look after the troubled star. Amy's father Mitch has even blasted her new relationship, saying, "It's unbelievable. He's tall, but he's like a little boy. I am shocked. His job was to look after Amy. I asked him to stay with Amy while she was recording at Henley. This was not part of the job! I don't like infidelity. But Alex could be the victim in all this. I can't ever imagine Alex seducing Amy. He looks like Clark Kent." Alex's mates find it rather amusing that their friend is being painted as sweet and innocent, with one claiming, "Alex is a good boy. He doesn't smoke or take drugs. He isn't a big drinker... B******S!!!" It's thought Amy is planning to divorce Blakeincarcerated now that her fling has been exposed. We don’t approve of the cheating, but Alex is WAY hotter than Blake, non?
 
My Family star in intensive care
TV star Kris Marshall is currently under intensive care in hospital after being hit by a car on a night out. The 34-year-old star of Love Actually, My Family and the BT ads suffered a serious head injury when a car ploughed into him outside a pub on the outskirts of Bristol on Saturday night. Last night his family were at his bedside at the Bristol Royal Infirmary and Kris is now said to be in a stable condition. A spokesman for the actor said, “Kris was in an accident and sustained a head injury. He is in a stable condition,” while a friend of the star confirmed, “He’s awake, but obviously with any head injury there are fears.” We hope you make a speedy recovery, Kris.

Geri reveals next career move
Geri Halliwell has spoken out about her childhood and the recent Spice Girls reunion tour as she promotes her new series of children’s stories. Asked whether she’d ever take to the stage with the Spices again, she replied, “We’ve done it and I wouldn’t want to go back, although I wouldn’t say it was definitely the last one...” The singer/ambassador/yoga expert has now decided that her expertise lies in writing books for kids, and this week will see the release of her first story, Ugenia Lavender. The cartoon heroine looks a bit like a mini Geri, with a ginger bob and a cheeky smile. “Ugenia is definitely a part of me,” admits Geri, “She’s like my inner brat.” The character suffers at the hands of school bullies in the first book and Geri admits much of this idea came from her own experiences as a child. “There was a girl at school who threatened to throw me over the railway tracks,” she says. But it wasn’t all tears for the Spice Girl, she also admits to playing a lot of “kiss chase” with the boys. The writing project has taken the best part of the past four years and Geri says it’s something she’s always wanted to do. “I am very childlike and silly and I found children relate to my wackiness,” she explains. We wonder if she’ll have as much, erm, success as other celebrity authors like Madonna...

Uma to face stalker
Uma Thurman will come face to face with a man she claims made her life hell for two years. The actress will appear in a New York court and confront Jack Jordan, who is alleged to have "stalked" the star on movie sets and even called her at home.
