The 9 O'Clock News – Tues 22 Apr

Leona set for body makeover;
Leona Lewis is a star in our eyes not only because she is very talented, but also because she wins hands down the award for most normal, down-to-earth celebrity, ever. But it seems the singer's cronies don’t think the same and want her to undergo a body transformation. Apparently Mariah Carey’s personal trainer – Patricia Gay – has been signed up to whip the X Factor winner into shape so that Leona's advisers can start introducing the "short-skirt option" for photoshoots. What?! What’s wrong with the way she looks now? A source revealed Leona has done brilliantly in the US, but some of her "team" think she needs to be a bit sexier if she wants to have the longevity of female artists like Mariah, Janet Jackson or Madonna. Good grief.

Gavin & Stacey sold to the US
Things just keep getting better and better for our fave BBC Three comedy Gavin & Stacey. Following their two Bafta awards on Sunday AND the news that the second series will be repeated on primetime BBC1, reports are now emerging that the show’s format is being sold to American network NBC for a cool £1million. It’s the same TV channel that bought up The Office, whose US version has become a massive hit. Show writer James Corden is set to rake it in, along with co-writer Ruth Jones. Hmm, he gets more and more attractive to heatworld every day…

Coleen gets axe from Asda
Coleen McLoughlin is being ditched as the face of Asda's fashion label George. The supermarket chain no longer wants a WAG to front their campaign and are looking for someone a little more glamorous. Asda spokesperson said, "Among the names being considered is Carla Bruni [the French President's wife]. She's very attractive and a highly stylish person. We feel she would fit in very well with the George look." The shopping chain are keen to attract the middle-class shopper with George brand director, Fiona Lambert, adding, "Coleen has been a fantastic ambassador for us. But we want to show that our core fashions are for everyone."  Are they mental – Coleen’s adorable and appeals to lots of different women!

Shocking Heather revelations to be made on TV show
Oh dear, the muck-raking continues over the weird and wonderful life that is Heather Mills’. In a Channel 4 documentary about Paul McCartney’s ex-wife to be shown tonight, her estranged father Mark Mills rubbishes her claims that she had an unhappy childhood and that he beat her, by showing happy childhood footage of her and the family. AND a former friend of Heather's, Denise Hewitt, also goes on to allege that she was indeed a hooker (a claim she has always denied) and that they acted out lesbian romps together for up to £10K a time. Denise says: “We went into high-class prostitution behind closed doors.” Yikes. For more sordid revelations, tune into Heather Mills: What Really Happened, 10pm, Channel 4.

It's the news!
