Justin’s gran reveals wedding secret. Oops!
Marriage rumours have been circulating around this showbiz pair for months, but now it would appear that Justin Timberlake's grandma has taken matters into her own hands to speed things up. Justin plans to wed his long-term girlfriend Jessica Biel this year – and his nan wants them to tie the knot in his mum's back garden. Granny Sadie admitted, "I just want them to be happy. Justin should get married in Lynn's back yard in Tennessee." It was thought that Justin was busy scouring the globe for exclusive and private locations for the ceremony – but clearly the ladies in his life are fed up of waiting. Justin's nan Sadie was famously dismissive of her grandson's ex Cameron Diaz, claiming that the actress was too old for Justin (ouch). However, she seems to have welcomed Jessica Biel with open arms. Speaking about the actress she said, "Jessica's really sweet. She's his age and isn't possessive." The A-list pair have been dating since January last year – only a few months after Justin split from Cameron – and have always tried to keep their romance secret. If Justin was planning on keeping his wedding day a secret, we fear granny Sadie may have just blown it by revealing the location...

Praise for Heath as Batman premieres
Batman movie The Dark Knight premiered last night and already critics are hailing Heath Ledger a "genuine talent", with some even saying he deserves a posthumous Oscar. Heath plays the part of The Joker – famously played before by Jack Nicholson – which was always going to be a difficult role to follow. But reports emerging today claim that Heath is the star of the show. One report reads: "Ledger had obviously gained the confidence to become a Hollywood A-lister. The re-appearance of Batman's most charismatic nemesis was always going to be a big deal. Ledger has given us a fuller Joker than Nicholson's and he deserves all the talk of a Best Supporting Actor Oscar Nomination." 

Danny Dyer blames hair loss on Channel 4
Cockney sexpot Danny Dyer is losing his hair – and claims that Channel 4 are to blame! The actor claims that his locks never recovered after C4 bosses asked him to dye them ginger for his role in football drama All In The Game. The TV show was made two years ago, but Danny says his hair has been falling out ever since, "It took me six months. I couldn't f****** get it out," he ranted. "I think I started losing my wig after that. If the worst comes to the worst I'll sue," he continued. Danny says he accepted the role because it gave him the opportunity to work with his idol Ray Winstone. Ray was ginger when he was young, so the producers thought it would be good if Danny dyed his hair to look the same. "It's down to Channel 4 I'm losing my canister!" Danny complained. Sigh... Receding or not receding, Danny, we still SO would.

Jordan and Peter’s chat show canned
Jordan and Peter's TV chat show has been axed – after just one series. The programme is thought, by bosses, to be too trashy and will not be re-commissioned despite expectations for it to return for a second run. The duo fronted Katie And Peter: Unleashed last autumn, but will not be back after guests and viewers slated it. Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger called it the most ridiculous show she's been on, and Corrie star Jack P Shepherd called it "a bit crude". An insider revealed, "It was always a risk. Jordan and Peter are an engaging couple and people like them, but it soon became apparent that they are not chat-show hosts. No one ever took it that seriously but we hoped it would be a flirty, cheeky show like Charlotte Church does or Lily Allen. They're not too fussed. They know it wasn't their finest hour."
