The 9 0'Clock News – Wed 11 Feb

Richard and Judy’s show could face the axe
They used to regularly be watched by millions every day, but since making the move from terrestrial, Richard and Judy have watched their audience figures diminish dramatically. It is now thought that the couple's show Richard And Judy's New Position, which is shown on the cable and satellite channel Watch, is only months from being axed after recording it's lowest ever viewers figures on Monday. The show was watched by just 8,000 fans – which is a huge 2,000 less than it attracted back in October, at the beginning of the series. An insider confessed, "Every day, we think an announcement will be made. It looks unlikely this show will come back." The reports come as sources close to Judy Finnigan hint that she is ready to turn her back on TV, leaving her husband Richard to forge a solo career. The source said, "She [Judy] realises there is more to life than daily TV." Judy herself admitted recently that she would've quit TV years ago had it not been for Richard, saying that her family comes "miles ahead" of her TV career." Have you seen R&J's show on Watch? Does this news make you a little sad?

Kanye "devastated" by Rihanna attack

Rihanna and Chris Brown's reported fight has sent shockwaves all across the showbiz world, and new details continue to emerge. There are now claims coming from across the pond that Rihanna could be heard "screaming" while she made her call to 911, and the young singer has now also cancelled her 21st birthday party. Last night Rihanna made her first comment since the incident, saying, "I'm OK," but friends are said to be extremely concerned about her. Good pal Kanye West, who Rihanna has toured with in the past, was quick to voice his support, saying, "She has the potential to be the greatest artist of all time and, in that sense, I feel like that's my baby sis and I would do any and everything to help her in any situation." Asked how he felt about the reported fight, Kayne merely replied, "I don't want to speak more into the specifics with that situation, but all I'll say is it's just so devastating. I feel like, just as a person, I don't care how famous she is or even if she just worked at McDonald's, that [the alleged assault] should never happen. It should never come to that place." There has been no word from Chris Brown yet, but Rihanna's publicist echoed the star's earlier sentiment, saying last night, "She is fine and doing well."

Ron dates a student!
In the past, he's dated such, er, beauties as Gemma Atkinson and model Nereida Gallardo, but Ronaldo's got a new lady – and she's a hard-up student. Olivia Saunders, 18, apparently met Ron when she was a promotions girl at a nightclub and they've now been on a few dates in Manchester, where she's a student. Liv, as she's known to her mates, lives in a self-catered flat with a group of other students and lists her interests on Facebook as "shopping, having fun, living life and spending time with my friends." While we're wildly jealous of Olivia, we also love the idea of Ron dating a student – watch out for him in the student union ordering a snakebite and black some time soon...

Prince Harry in new race row
Oh Harry. Maybe it's best that you don't open your mouth, eh? The prince has hit the headlines again this morning, after yet another embarrassing race gaff, when he told black comedian Stephen K Amos, "You don't sound like a black chap," when he met him at dad Prince Charles' 60th birthday party last year. Stephen revealed what happenned on yesterday's Wright Stuff, as host Matthew asked him if he thought Prince Harry meant it. "I wanted to say, ‘How is I supposed to sound?’” Stephen said. The Prince's people refused to comment.
