Britney’s tour in doubt:
heatworld is super duper excited about Britney’s visit to the UK later this year (will we be front row at the O2? Yes. Will we be singing along to every word AND doing the dance moves? Yes), but it looks like our fun could be scuppered. Brit’s refused to go on her 44-date Circus tour if she can’t bring her kids with her. Reports say an agreement between Britney, K-Fed and Jamie Spears over the kids is now in danger, and Britney would commute to her gigs from the States while her kids remain in the US. Fingers crossed they come to some agreement… we couldn’t bear to miss the new and improved Britters. Blub.

Lily caught up in snowball brawl
For those of us who didn't have to work yesterday (we're not bitter at all), the snow provided a great opportunity for lots of fun and frolics. However, the fun soon turned scary for one celeb, after she was caught in the middle of a snowball fight that turned into a vicious brawl. Lily Allen took to the slopes of Primrose Hill following her GMTV appearance yesterday, but as she slid down the hill in a plastic washing basket (seriously!) she was pelted with snowballs by a gang of youths.One onlooker said, "She [Lily] took it in good spirits at first, but it got more relentless. As she was going down the hill it kicked off, and her bodyguard stepped in." The gang had been throwing snowballs for quite some time and the situation then escalated, resulting in one man being severely beaten before police arrived. Blimey. Did you have fun in the snow yesterday? And are you spending today away from work as well?

Pete Doherty facing eviction
We just loved having a sneaky peak inside Pete Doherty's country pad in the recent MTV show, Pete Doherty in 24 Hours – but, unfortunately for Pete, the extra exposure has rather upset the mansion's owner. The Earl of Cardigan (do you think he prefers them to sweaters?), who collects over £3,000 a month rent from the Babyshambles singer, was reportedly shocked when he saw the state in which Pete had got his home into, saying, "We've had a few problems. It's high time Mr Doherty found somewhere else to live." Oh dear. Then gain, we can't say we blame the Earl. After all, Pete has let the place fall into a state, drawn graffiti on the walls and let an abundance of cats move in with him.

Mischa and Luke split
After just a few weeks together, Love’s Young Dream, Luke Kooks and Mischa Barton, are no longer. Luke dumped the actress after she wanted him to visit her at her Paris home – and he refused. Luke, are you really sure it had nothing to do with Misch smooching the face off a ladyfriend last week? Hmm.
A source says, “She was really smitten. They’d been on nights out in London and really got on. But when she suggested he visit Paris he got cold feet. He said he didn’t think they had a future. Mischa was heartbroken.” With Luke’s ex, Katie Melua, rumoured to prefer ladies too, was Luke just trying to break the cycle? What effect does he have on women, eh?!
