Amy accused of smacking another fan
Amy Winehouse has been accused of hitting another fan – just a week after she lashed out at Glastonbury. The latest "attack" took place at a pub in Camden (where else?!). "There was no reason," said the victim, Wayne Lindsay. "She flipped. It stung." Wayne claims the pop diva "went wild" as he stood behind her quietly before she whipped round and screamed "wanker" and then hit him for no reason. Wayne said, "She was in front of me at the bar and suddenly turned and walloped me three times across the face. I couldn't believe it. I hadn't said a word to her or touched her. I was just drinking a pint with my friends. There was no obvious reason for her flying off the handle. But she clearly thought I'd done something... It was as if she had voices in her head."

Posh's plane trauma
Victoria Beckham and two of her sons were left frightened when a bird flew into their aeroplane's engine just before take off – forcing the pilot to bring the aircraft to an emergency stop. Posh, who was with Romeo and Cruz, is said to have launched into the emergency position – grabbing her high heels, designer clobber and lipstick – realising that she was wearing standard-issue air craft pyjamas. The shame. Posh remained on the cancelled flight from LA to London so she could get changed while all the other passengers were taken back to the terminal. It was only later, after she had finished her transformation, that she was transferred back along with her kids and a bodyguard. One witness said, "It was really scary when the pilot suddenly slammed on the brakes. The plane was taxiing down the runway and we were set for take-off. We had no idea what was happening and you immediately fear the worst. I was sitting a few rows back from Victoria and her sons, who were at the front of the plane. Victoria wasn't wearing any make-up and had changed into the pyjamas provided by the airline."

Charlotte begs to be in Gavin & Stacey
Now this we would love to see – Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson are desperate to be given an acting role in Gavin & Stacey. The couple are huge fans of the hit BBC comedy and would both “die to be in it”. Charlotte said: “Maybe it could turn out Nessa (Stacey’s BF) knows us from way back. We love it so much.” Gavin added: “It would be brilliant. I would love to be an actor.” And we’d like to see that, Gav. So, James Corden, if you are reading this, go on, give them a part in your Christmas special. It would be lush.

Katie and Peter want to get married again!
Who could forget the wonderfully over-the-top nuptials of Katie and Peter the first time round? She looked like Barbie and he like a slightly overweight Ken. Well, only three years on, they are set to do it all over again. Despite rumours that the couple are hitting a rocky patch in their marriage, they are apparently going ahead with plans to renew their wedding vows in a private ceremony in September. “Plans are rapidly taking shape,” a source said. “They are really excited about it all and can’t wait to reaffirm their love and devotion. It’ll be a more private affair than the first wedding and a little more understated. But Katie being Katie, there will be a few elaborate surprises in store.” We certainly hope so… we wouldn’t want her in boring old white dress and Pete in a Moss Bros suit after all.
