Blue are reforming!
Boyband Blue are in the final stages of negotiating a reunion – and even have an album deal in place. Antony, Lee and Simon have been trying to persuade Duncan to regroup, but he wants to see how his role in Channel 4 sitcom Plus One is received before he makes a decision. A source said, "The lads have been in negotiations about reforming. They're all ready to sign on the dotted line. Duncan is holding out as he is keen to pursue his acting ambitions. But he will soon see sense." It's thought that material could be released shortly with record label Innocent having first dibs in the boys/men! So, what do you think – bothered?

Leona thrashes Winehouse
Yay for Leona: her dream to sing the new James Bond theme took a step closer yesterday as she’s on the brink of sealing a deal which will see her beat Amy Winehouse to one of the most prestigious deals in pop. Ooh, it’s like the battle of good versus evil. A source revealed, "It looks like Leona has finally won the race. She is seen as one of the few candidates who has the right profile on both sides of the pond. Amy was their original choice, but she just can't get her act together and hasn't got the right image. The Bond guys now look set on Leona. She is reliable and has a great voice for it. Hopefully something could be announced soon."

Ange talks about sex with Brad
We all know that being pregnant makes most women look and feel great, but Angelina Jolie has taken that one step further – and claimed that being in the family way has spiced up her sex life. The heavily pregnant actress, who is expecting twins with Brad Pitt, admitted during an interview that her bump had made her more "imaginative". Angelina said, "Pregnancy is great for the sex life. It makes you a lot more creative – and as a women you're so round and full." Jesus! Is there no end to the women's smugness? Ange has admitted before that Brad finds her very sexy when she's pregnant – talk about rubbing it in our faces. We're very happy for them and all, but there's some mental images we could do without.

Gordon Brown is NOT happy about Lee McQueen
We all know it's one of the greatest shows, like, ever, but we didn't realise that The Apprentice was a matter of national importance. Gordon Brown (you know, that Prime Minister chap) broke off from talking about actual political issues yesterday to have his say on the hit BBC show – and it would appear that he's not a fan of the winner, Lee McQueen. Addressing the job seekers of Britain, Gordon said, "I think people should tell the truth." He shared his opinion in light of the fact that Lee lied on his CV, but was still awarded the job. "Alan Sugar is perfectly capable of making his decisions," Gordon continued, "But generally my advice to people is to tell the truth when they are applying for jobs." We're sure Gordon Brown has never uttered one porkie. Not ever. Another businessman, Dragons' Den star Duncan Bannatyne, was also quick to criticise Sir Alan's decision, saying, "I wouldn't employ anyone who lied. In business, honesty is the key to success." In contrast though, Peter Stringfellow claimed a small lie wouldn't bother him. "I would employ someone who lied on their CV," he said, "It's just a document there to guide you." What about you lot? Have you ever told a little lie to get a job? We won't tell anyone... Promise.
