At last! Charlotte FINALLY has her baby!
She was due to give birth over the festive period, but Charlotte Church's new baby boy was clearly in no hurry, as he only decided to make an appearance late last night. The Welsh songstress and her rubgy ace boyfriend Gavin Henson welcomed their new arrival at their home just outside Cardiff – and soon after posted a delighted blog on Charl's website, saying baby and mum were "doing just fine". Charlotte, who was due to give birth three weeks ago, is said to be thrilled with her new arrival. A friend of the couple confirmed, "They're over the moon to have a son. All went well, although it was a very long night." The boy, thought to be taking the name Alan Lloyd after Gavin's dad, weighed in at a healthy 7lbs 5oz. The couple already have a daughter, 16-month-old Ruby Megan – but don't be surprised if the couple continue adding to their family. Charlotte once said she'd quite like at least six kids, while Gavin even hinted he'd like a whopping eight – his very own little rugby team. Yikes! Congratulations, guys.

Official! We all want Cheryl as our BFF
Could Cheryl Cole's life get any rosier? The Girls Aloud singer – whose winning X Factor act Alexandra has just sold her millionth copy of her debut single Hallelujah – has just been voted the celeb most women would like to have as their bezzy mate in a poll. However, one person who won't be queuing up to make her their Facebook friend is her former manager Louis Walsh. In a brand new interview, Cheryl refers to him as being "so stupid". Ouch.

Amy: "Blake was rubbish in bed"
We've all been rather excited since seeing those pictures of a much healthier-looking Amy Winehouse on holiday with that sexy actor fella – but it would appear that not everyone shares our joy. Blake – yes, he of still incarcerated fame – has instructed a lawyer to start divorce proceedings against Amy, after seeing the photos of her frolicking with Josh Bowman in the Caribbean. Reports are suggesting that Blake now wants to take a shot at getting his hands on a share of Amy's £10million fortune, claiming his wife cheated on him. Hmm, whatever happened to leaving her alone? While Blake plots away in his cell, Amy, meanwhile, is said to be upset because her new man Josh has left the Caribbean isle. The pair kissed as he loaded suitcases into a waiting minibus, and Amy reportedly told him she loved him and would see him soon. Talking about her new love yesterday, Amy said, "Josh is handsome and clean and that's what I love about him. When I'm with Josh I don't need drugs to feel good because he makes me feel so amazing! I've finally escaped from hell!" Asked how she felt about her estranged husband Blake, Amy replied bluntly, "Blake was rubbish in bed. I don't know what's going on. For the time being I've forgotten I'm married." We can't say we blame Amy. Having seen pictures of both Blake and Josh, we know which one we'd rather be frolicking with...

Fergie ties the knot
Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie got hitched over the weekend – to her long-term boyfriend, actor Josh Duhamel. The singer and her beau married in a private ceremony at Church Estates Vineyard in Malibu, California on Saturday evening with the duo swapping engraved rings, from jeweller H Stern,  inscribed with special messages. Fergie, real name Stacey Ferguson, wore a white Dolce & Gabbana gown, while her ten(!) bridesmaids were dressed in contrasting black. The couple have been dating since 2004, when they met on set of Josh's television show Las Vegas, and have been engaged since 2007. Yesterday, Fergie's manager William Derella confirmed that the pair had wed. Fergie is reported to have spent months working on her fitness to get in shape for the big day, after packing on the pounds for her role in The Nines.
