Jade "facing her final hours"
Tragic Jade Goody is now thought to have only hours left to live, as she struggles against the aggressive cancer spreading through her body. The BB star decided to celebrate Mother's Day a week earlier at her Essex home yesterday, but could only manage a small smile for her two boys. Last night, tearful mum Jackiey Budden told reporters, "It's not day by day now. It's more like hour by hour." Brave Jade has kept her two sons' routines as normal as possible, insisting that they keep going to school as normal. Yesterday the star's publicist Max Clifford said, "Jade is ready now. She has faced up to everything in an incredible brave way." Details about the planned funeral have also now emerged. The coffin will be driven through Jade's home district of Bermondsy in South London, and big screens are expected to be erected outside the church to cope with the large volume of well-wishers. We're all thinking of Jade and her family here at heatworld, and of course we will bring you any news as it emerges throughout the day.
 
Kerry takes Mark back – already!
We're not going to lie, here at heatworld we all breathed a slight sign of relief when we heard Kerry had ditched Mark Croft. But now, inexplicably, she appears to have forgiven him. The married pair were snapped sharing a kiss outside Tesco near their Cheshire home, and Mark later stayed over after moving his stuff back from a nearby hotel. Over the weekend Kerry adamantly claimed she was getting a divorce, saying angrily that Mark wouldn't "get another penny" from her. However, it appears now that he's somehow managed to get back on her good side. Friends of Kerry's are understandably angry at her decision, with one pal saying, "There are a lot of angry people around Kerry at the moment. For years we have been telling her to leave Mark." Clearly the only people who know the real story are Kerry and Mark themselves, but whatever Kerry decides, we hope it's the right decision.
 
Chris Brown: "Rihanna argument was just a tiff"
Chris Brown is expected to brand the fight which left his girlfriend Rihanna bruised and beaten "just a lover’s tiff" in an attempt to escape assault charges. A source says, “He will argue it was a misunderstanding between two young people passionately in love”. As for Chris’ trial, his lawyers have asked for a special hearing in LA next week – but they will argue a fair trial is impossible after the shock pictures of Rihanna’s injuries were leaked to the press.
 
Coleen booted off Dancing On Ice
As the final of Dancing On Ice approaches, it’s Coleen Nolan who’s been the latest casualty of the judges, after being voted off the show. She lost the skate off against Donal McIntyre – despite battling on the ice with a broken wrist and sprained rib. Judge Nicky Slater wasn’t impressed, saying, “The only thing that will keep you in is the John-Sergeant vote.” Boo. So next week’s final will see Donal, Jessica Taylor and Ray Quinn fighting for the winner’s title. But back to last night’s show… did you see Girls Aloud? Floating ethereally in the air, singing new song Untouchable while Torvil and Dean skated along? Was it ace, or just a bit odd?
