The Hills star Heidi said, "The minute we said our vows, I couldn't stop crying."

Rumours also abound that her marriage is in trouble - which isn't really a surprise.

 George SampsonYes, he's still about. The Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson was given a standing ovation in London's West End on the opening night of his run in Into The Hoods. After the show hundreds of fains waited for him chanting 'We want George.' Georgemania still abounds.  Shilpa ShettyIndia's version of Celebrity Big Brother will be hosted by none other than Shilpa Shetty. As you will recall Shilpa won the UK version amongst some controversy last year. In India the show is called Bigg Boss. Kerry Katona Ex Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona has been given two more weeks to pay off £157,00 ($314,000) that remains of her tax bill. She was not present for the hearing at the Bankruptcy Court in London. She is said to be awaiting nearly £300,000 ($600,000) for work she has already done. Nicole Kidman The paparazzi were asked by Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban to leave their daughter Sunday Rose alone. Nicole requested, "She's tiny. She's like a doll, she's like a little, little thing. Just (don't photograph) right in her face or in our faces because it's scary for her." Sounds a reasonable request but, of course, it won't happen. Photos = money.  Jonas ArmstrongThe Robin Hood television star Jonas Armstrong is quitting the show after the next run. Jonas said, "I’m grateful to the fans for their support and to all the cast and crew or their friendship and loyalty throughout, but the time has come to take on new challenges and opportunities."

Britain's Got Talent Live 2008 Tour: It's Georgemania!
 The Britain's Got Talent Live 2008 tour has now kicked off. For little girls seeing George Sampson perform it's like Beatlemania has been resurrected. They screamed at the very mention of his name.Whatever your opinion of the main 12 acts they have caught the publics' imagination, so much so that they are willing to spend £32.50 to be in on the excitement. The talent on display do pretty much what most people have already seen on television. The novelty of seeing, say, Kate and Gin, for example, no matter how brilliant, will eventually wear off. There are, however, a few twists. Andrew Johnston and Faryl Smith do a duet of Walking In The Air and Nemesis together with Signature do a sort of dance-off. The final act is winner George Sampson doing his Singin' In The Rain  routine and sound levels zoom up sufficiently to damage the eardrums. Yes it's Georgemania - coming to a town near you!Extra dates have now been added! Friday 6June... London Hammersmith Apollo Saturday 7 June... Bournemouth BIC Sunday 8 June...

George Sampson: Britain's Got Talent Winner
 Well we didn't get that quite right! George Sampson, the 14 year old dancer, has just won Britain's Got Talent with his stunning version of an updated Singing In The Rain. George is 14 (15 on the 29th of June) and lives in Birchwood. He has built a good fan base on the Internet on forums, such as at ITV.com and on websites such as bebo. His fans were mobilised and did their job to make George a winner (and to pocket the £100,000 and Royal Variety performance). Well done to him and those that supported him, especially his mother. The likes of Faryl Smith will be disappointed but have a good future ahead of them. Simon Cowell will be visualising the cash tills already.
