Britney files restraining order against Adnan and Sam:
This country might have ground to a halt because of all that white stuff in the air, but over in LA, celebrities are still doing stuff, phew. It’s emerged that lawyers for Britney Spears went to court over the weekend to seek restraining orders against her ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib and her former manager Sam Lutfi. According to court records, Britney’s asked her dad Jamie, who’s still acting as her conservator and is therefore is in charge of all things legal, to take the move to “protect her from Sam and Adnan”, as she is afraid of them.  “On the first anniversary of the establishment of the conservatorship, the co-conservators are informed and believe that these three figures are working in concert to disrupt the conservatorship, with an utter disregard for Ms. Spears' health and well being," say the documents. They also reveal that Lutfi has been trying to contact Britney through various people, and has sent “anonymous, harrassing and threatening” messages to her dad. Nice. As for Adnan, apparently Britney still tells him of her whereabouts, and he then “arranges for paparazzi to meet and film her to his financial benefit.” Wow, those two are even nicer than we first thought, eh?

Ofcom investigate ranting Gordon Ramsay
He's never been one to hold his tongue, but has Gordon Ramsay gone too far this time? Ofcom are in the process of investigating the sweary chef, after the F-word was used an astonishing 240 times during his latest show, Gordon's Great British Nightmare. After watching the show on Friday night, viewers called Channel 4 in their hundreds, disgusted at the sheer level of bad language. The show did go out after the 9pm watershed, and viewers were warned to expect some lively language at the start, but now audiences are claiming that there was so much obscenity, it was off-putting. "I was covering my ears," wrote one disgruntled viewer, "The first 30 seconds was funny, but then it got embarrassing with so many fuckings flying around." And it wasn't just viewers who were getting irate, a Labour minister had this to say: "Gordon Ramsay might be a good chef, but he is a terrible role model to every child and adolescent in Britain. He is giving two-fingers to people who care about the English language." Ooer. Did you see Gordon's show on Friday night, and do you think he ought to be told off for swearing so much?

More heartbreak for Jade
Jade Goody is suffering fresh heartbreak today after learning that one of her closest friends has died. Robert Coleman, who was Jade’s business mentor and “surrogate dad”, suffered a fatal heart attack last week – just days after Jade had returned from a holiday with him and his family in Spain. Last night Mr Coleman’s son Martin said, “Jade was like a member of the family. She is absolutely heartbroken over my father’s death. He was like a surrogate dad to her and the feeling was mutual. It’s been hard for her to take as it’s been hard for all of us." Jade had been pictured looking much happier recently after her wayward boyfriend Jack Tweed was released from prison, but this shocking death has left her feeling very depressed. Additionally, the star was forced to rush back to hospital last night, after falling ill following her latest bout of chemo. A friend of the star said, "Jade has gone through an awful few days and has been very ill." As always, we wish Jade all the best.

Jennifer performs at Super Bowl
Jennifer Hudson made her first public appearance last night since the tragic murders of three members of her family. The singer and actress gave an emotional performance at the Super Bowl in Miami, belting out the national anthem to the crowd. Jennifer’s mother, brother and nephew were murdered last year, and her sister’s estranged husband William Balfour has pleaded not guilty to the killings. Jennifer is also set to perform at The Grammys next week, where she’s nominated for four awards.
