Jack could miss Jade’s funeral
Jack Tweed could miss his late wife Jade Goody’s funeral – if he is sent to prison for attacking a taxi driver. Jack is due to be sentenced on Thursday, and could be facing the prospect of jail time, which would mean he would be locked up for Jade’s final farewell. But Jack – who served four months of an 18-month sentence for assaulting a teenager with a golf club – hopes his lawyers will be able to postpone sentencing until after Jade’s funeral. Jade’s mum Jackiey says, “Jack is holding on tight, bless him. He’s honestly the best husband she could ever have had.” However, a spokesperson for Harlow magistrates court said yesterday the sentencing was still due to go ahead and that there was "no question" of special treatment.

Jen dumped John because of his Twitter addiction
Are they/aren’t they/are they/aren’t they etc etc? It’s practically impossible to keep up with the turbulent love life of Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer. Always a drama. And quelle surprise, today brings with it another "exciting development" in the Johniston world… they’ve broken up AGAIN, thanks to social networking "tool", Twitter. Jen was fed up with John spending all his time Tweeting – but told her he was too busy to contact her. Uh-oh… rumbled. A source says, “Jen was fuming. There he was, telling her he didn’t have time for her and yet his page was filled with updates. She was like, ‘He has time for all this Twittering, but he can’t send me a text, an e-mail or make a call?’”. Oh John. When will you ever learn?

Agyness splits from The Strokes' Albert
In other relationship news, British model Agyness Deyn has split from The Strokes’ Albert Hammond Jr after less than a year together. Sadface. The pair, who were at one stage thought to be getting engaged, always seemed to be very cute together, so we're actually quite shocked. That was one relationship we had high hopes for. Luckily the pair have agreed to remain friends, so at least their collection of puppies will still have a good home. Every cloud…

Ray: "DOI was tougher than The X Factor"
He always looked like a natural to us, but Dancing On Ice champ Ray Quinn last night admitted that he found his whole skating experience much tougher than The X Factor. Ray lost out to Leona Lewis in the 2006 series of the talent show, and admitted that the nerves he experienced on Sunday night were the same as the ones he'd felt back then. "I was so nervous," he admits, "I really wanted to win this competition." Ray says he will do his best to continue skating, and says he'll be "jealous" of whoever skates with his partner Maria in next year's show. Meanwhile, the former Brookside actor also has to begin preparing for his lead role as Danny in the musical Grease – but it seems as if not everyone is thrilled with his promotion. Outspoken DOI judge Jason Gardiner was quick to pour scorn on the news, saying, "That's a ridiculous casting. He's going to look like a munchkin." Ouch! We're still feeling a little bit sad that DOI has all finished. Still, at least The Apprentice starts tomorrow...
