Ingrid Tarrant: "Chris was a flop in bed"
It was never going to be pretty, but until now Ingrid Tarrant has kept a dignified silence about her stormy 16 year marriage to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host Chris Tarrant. Ingrid, who dumped Chris following allegations of his seven year affiar with teacher Fiona McKechnie, says her ex was a "clumsy, naive lover". Ouch. In an explosive interview she claims that Chris needed Viagra "to get it up" and smelt of fish (!) saying "he went out of his way" to make himself repulsive at bedtime after he went off sex. Ingrid chose to speak out now following a story claiming she put a seven year sex ban on him during their marriage, which she believes her estranged husband leaked to newspapers.

His lawyers claimed that since his arrest Pete had completed five days of detox and had been fitted with an implant to block the effects of heroin, which resulted in him escaping a prison sentence. So how long do you reckon it'll be before we write the headline "Pete in court again"? Place your bets...

Tom and Katie's embarrassing night out
One A-list perk of hitting the town is jumping the queue and heading straight to the VIP room of the swankiest clubs… unless you're Tom Cruise, that is. The Hollywood star and wife Katie Holmes were turned away from the uber-hip Caves Du Roi club at the exclusive Byblos hotel in St Tropez on Friday. A spokesperson for the hotel confirmed the club was so full they couldn't make room for TomKat.

Kathy described how the prison sheets were very thin, and poor, poor Paris only had one pillow and one thin little blanket. And the worst thing? Oh my, the bedclothes gave Paris a nasty rash. However did she cope?
