Jade's dream wedding "shattered"
Jade was dealt another devastating blow last night, when it was revealed that Jack Tweed's strict 7pm will not be temporarily lifted for the couple's wedding night this weekend. Jade and Jack had appealed to get the ban relaxed for just one evening in order to enjoy their first night together as man and wife, but a prison governor has refused to consider it. Jack is still wearing an electronic tag as a condition of his release from jail, and any breach of the strict curfew rules could mean he would have to go back inside. A friend of the BB star said last night, "She's heartbroken. It's too much to bear. This will destroy Jade and Jack's wedding. They won't be able to sit down and have a proper meal or a first dance." However, Jade continued to put on a brave face for photographers as she left her house yesterday to pick up some last-minute stuff for Sunday's ceremony. Her publicist Max Clifford explained, "The busier she is, the better. She's enjoying all of this planning and it takes her mind off things." It is now being reported that Jade's wedding will have a cockney theme, with guests being served jellied eels, pie and mash, or fish and chips. A host of celebrities are expected to attend the bash.

Dev and co-star get it on!
There's been a few rumours going round that Dev Patel, the star of Slumdog Millionaire, is getting rather cosy with his beautiful co-star Freida Pinto – and now, another of their co-stars, Anil Kapoor, has let the cat out of the bag as to what's really going on. "I think this is the beginning of something exciting," he said on Ryan Seacrest's radio show yesterday. "They definitley make a great pair and look very good together." And when Ryan asked Anil if there was any "action" going on between the pair of them, he replied, "As a matter of fact, when I meet them I feel there is something happenning. But she says, 'I have to look after him' and 'I have to babysit him' and stuff like that." Ooh, this all sounds very promising, doesn't it? C'mon, Dev, don't keep us in the dark...
 
Kings Of Leon in Brits punch-up
Here at heat Towers, we're still nursing our two day post-Brits hangover, but at least we didn't come home with any actual bruises (well, not many, anyway) like Kings Of Leon. Keeping the rock 'n' roll spirit alive, the boys were involved in a massive punch-up backstage after everyone involved had downed a few too many shandies. Depending on who you believe, the fight was between Caleb and Matthew, who had been winding each other up all night – or it was to do with some warring ladies who were all desperate for the lads' attention. Either way, it's always nice to have a bit of Brits drama, isn't it?

Madge's secrets to be aired in court
They managed to keep the details of their divorce fairly secret, but now Madonna and Guy Ritchie may have some of their dirty laundry aired in public after all, because of a open court hearing. A New York judge is expected to agree the child-custody agreement  which was drawn up in the UK, but will do so in an open hearing on 2 March. Details of how the children, Lourdes, Rocco and David Banda, are brought up are expected to be made public, including how Madge allegedly insists they eat only kosher foods and attend a Kabbalah synagogue on Fridays and Saturdays. A source said, "It could prove embarrassing for Madge to have to contend with private information being aired in such a way." Still, at least Mads and Guy managed to organise their shared custody amicably and fairly. Wouldn't it have been awful (but quite fun) if they'd done a Mucca?
