Kerry gets booed at EMA awards
Scream! Last night was the MTV European Music Awards and, as expected, it was really rather ace. Anyone who was anyone – and of course the obligatory WAG or five – made the trek to Liverpool for a night of pop shenanigans. Take That performed there for the first time in FIFTEEN years – so we were extra specially excited. Pink had an on-stage pillow fight (yay!), while host Katy Perry – who had a gazillion outfit changes – sang I Kissed A Girl straddling a giant glitter-firing chapstick. As you do. Kerry Katona presented an award at the show to Jared Leto in his emo guise of 30 Seconds To Mars, but got booed by the crowd. Wonder why? Bizarrely, 80s one-hit wonder Rick Astley was named the Best Act Ever, presumably down to the wonder of Rick-Rolling earlier in 2008, which brought cheese-classic Never Gonna Give You Up to a whole new generation. And for that, we’re forever thankful.

Jade finds support in Shilpa
Some friendships are born out of fraught situations – with Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty’s being a prime example. We were a bit taken aback Jade’s found a strong source of support in Shilpa, who she was at the centre of the infamous Big Brother racism row last year. But it looks like Shilpa’s definitely forgiven and forgotten, after revealing she calls Jade every month to see how she’s doing. Jade of course found out she had cancer during the Indian version of Big Brother earlier this year, after she’d flown over to spend time with show host Shilpa in a massive diplomatic move, and it seems as if Shilpa’s still very concerned about her former enemy. She’s even going to take Jade out when the star is back in India. She says, “Next time she’s here, we’ll go for something to eat.”

Eoghan: “I fancy Cheryl – and Dannii’s gorgeous... For her age”
If, like the rest of the female population of Britain, you've fallen for X Factor cutie Eoghan and his big hair, then you're going to love this. The 16-year-old has given his first proper interview, and says he can't believe the attention he's getting from the girls. "I suppose it's every boy's dream to have a crowd of girls after him," admitted Eoghan, before confessing that he's had a ton of fan mail from girls asking him to call them. Of course, there's that rumoured romance with fellow X Factor contestant Diana, but Eoghan insists they are just "best friends", although he does admit she's the "most attractive" girl in the house for him. In fact, it's not Diana that Eoghan is the most attracted to – he also had a lot to say about one particular X Factor judge. "I think Cheryl is absolutely gorgeous," he says, "She's a natural woman and would look nice even without make-up." Asked who he would pick out of Cheryl and Dannii as a potential girlfriend, Eoghan chose the Girls Aloud beauty, before quickly adding, "Dannii Minogue is gorgeous...for her age." *collapses on floor clutching sides* We bet she'll be just thrilled about that comment. Do you think Eoghan will be walking away with the big prize this year?

Amy wont pay for Blake’s rehab *applauds*
We all let out a little groan of foreboding when we heard the news that Blake was no longer incarcerated, but it would appear Amy might not be as eager to leap back into his tattooed arms as we thought. The singer has reportedly refused to cough up the £30,000 for her wayward hubby's rehab treatment, despite the fact that Blake seems to think everything is rosy in the marriage. Amy, who has not seen Blake for a least a month, was allegedly furious that she found out about his release from reporters. For reasons unknown, Blake did not bother to let his wife know the news. Amy's dad Mitch said last night, "Blake is a no-hoper – I want Amy to forget about him. She hasn't seen him for ages, and I don't think she cares one bit." As well as her dad's damning words, friends of the star have also expressed their doubt that Blake will be welcomed back with open arms. One said, "Blake thought he would click his fingers and she's stump up the 30 grand. But so far she has refused. He's not happy." Blake is currently not permitted to leave the rehab facility he's staying at in Surrey, but did sneak out last night to send a message to Amy. "Tell Amy, 'I love you and I wish I could be with you'," he told waiting reporters. We can't help but think Amy would be much better off without Blake in her life, if past events are anything to go by, and maybe she's finally realised it for herself.
