Celebrity Betting

Now that Big Brother has been, outstayed its welcome sightly and then gone again, it's time to look elsewhere for something to give you betting odds on - and where better to look than up the wombs of the Spice Girls?

Why are we doing Spice Girls betting odds? Simple - because there's nothing else to do betting odds about we really really like the Spice Girls. A lot. And we can't wait for the forthcoming Spice Girls reunion concerts at the end of the year. But there's one thing that might well screw up the Spice Girls reunion - a pregnant Spice Girl. Now, although we're told that the Spice Girls are under a strict 'no getting pregnant' rule, what's girl power if it isn't getting unexpectedly knocked up?

All this week we'll be profiling the chances that each of the Spice Girls have of being the first to fall pregnant before they split up again, and we're starting with the least likely. So here are today's Spice Girls pregnancy betting odds - for Baby Spice Emma Bunton - with help from Paddy Power…

A recent delegation of international scientists recently announced that if Kevin Federline keeps knocking up girls at the furious rate he's currently maintaining, it will take just three generations for everybody on Earth to be a little bit Federline.

Luckily, though, we can all breathe safe - reports that Kevin Federline has got his ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson pregnant are being steadfastly denied by all parties. Don't pretend you're not disappointed - you want to see Kevin Federline keep up his herculean baby-a-year knocking-up rate just as much as we do. If K-Fed slows down, he'll never be able to effectively colonise the planet with vast wads of his spoo. And that'll be his loss, as a planet exclusively consisting of his own flesh and blood seems to be the only way that Kevin Federline will ever actually shift a meaningful amount of Playing With Fire CDs.

Here we go, then, this week's last instalment of our Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds - where we take an in-depth look at a couple of countries, decide if Angelina Jolie will adopt from there next, place a bet and inevitably become hugely rich.

However, something's occurred to us - remember yesterday's news about a gang of criminals wanting to kidnap little Pax Thien Jolie and charge Angelina Jolie £50 million to get him back? Well, if Angelina Jolie is smart, she'll return to Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam to adopt back-up children. That way, if any of her adopted kids do get kidnapped, there'll be another one waiting to take their place. It'll save Angelina Jolie £50 million and a whole lot of tears, that's for sure.

Here's the final part of our Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds - for China and India - with help from Paddy Power…

We're in the penultimate day of our superbly-observed and only marginally tasteless Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds, where we decide to seize upon the public mood by trying to get you to make money from guessing where Angelina Jolie adopts from next.

But, look, we're going to level with you here. We've come across something we weren't really anticipating. As always, we've been rattling through these betting odds from the bottom up - and that's great fun when it comes to dashing off jokey profiles about why Angelina Jolie would want to adopt a nice little Welsh kid. But now that the week is nearly over we've realised that now we've kind of committed ourselves to write jokey profiles about why Angelina Jolie would want to adopt a baby from the battlefields of Somalia. Hear that sound? That's us shooting ourselves in the foot.

Still place bets, though. Seriously, Somalia is a steal.

Here are the Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds - for the Philippines and Somalia -with help from Paddy Power…

Is it day three of our Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds already? How time flies - it seems like it was just yesterday that we were joking saying that Angelina Jolie was going to adopt a little Welsh kid. It wasn't. It was the day before yesterday.

But day three of the Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds means we have to get serious. For the uninitiated, this week we're investigating which country Angelina Jolie will go to next to satisfy her weird compulsive urge to adopt every child that's ever been born. Why? So you can bet on it and get rich, perhaps using the winnings to build an airtight vault so you can lock your children away safe from Angelina Jolie's adopty hands. If you do choose to do that, remember - no airholes. Angelina Jolie is trained to detect carbon dioxide emitting from scared children.

So here are today's Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds - for Nigeria and Mexico - with help from Paddy Power…

Good old Angelina Jolie - most people wouldn't have time for anything else between making films that aren't as good as you'd imagine them to be and letting Brad Pitt stroke their arm sometimes, but Angelina Jolie manages to make room for adopting.

So far Angelina Jolie has adopted a boy from Cambodia, a girl from Ethiopia, a boy from Vietnam and a girl that she technically gave birth to but then legally divorced and adopted. But is adopting four children enough for Angelina Jolie? Never. It won't be long before Angelina Jolie is adopting again, and we want to make sure you earn some money out of it with our Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds.

So following yesterday's Angelina Jolie betting odds for Wales and the UK, here are today's Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds - for the USA and Iraq - with help from Paddy Power…

Over the last couple of weeks, all that we've been hearing about has been Angelina Jolie's latest jaunt around the world to adopt little Pax Thien from Vietnam - and now the question on everyone's lips is: just where will Angelina Jolie adopt from next?

Nobody knows for sure, but we can have a bloody good guess - that's why this week is going to be dedicated to Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds. Every day this week we'll looking at two different countries and wondering aloud if Angelina Jolie has ever fancied adopting a kid from there, giving it a foolish name and raising it as her own. And the best thing is these betting odds are massive, so even a tiny bet could make you a fat stack of cash - and what's better than winning money from filmstars doing good around the world? Probably loads of stuff, but since we can't think of any it'll have to do.

Here's today's batch of Angelina Jolie adoption betting odds - for Wales and the UK - with betting odds from Paddy Power…

You know us by now - when a big news story hits we instinctively think two things: 1) "what a massive git" and 2) "can we do betting on this?" But hey, it's not just big stories that make us think this, it's also cripplingly mediocre ones.

Like, oooh, Charlotte Church getting pregnant. Again, you know what the score is here as well; Charlotte Church - the chainsmoking, permanently binge-drunk opera singer turned rubbish TV presenter - recently made everyone think that she'd fallen pregnant by celebrating her 21st birthday in a manner other than drinking her own weight in cheeky Vimtos and then vomiting into her cleavage on the taxi-ride home. And now it's official - as we announced yesterday, Charlotte Church is pregnant.

So now that Charlotte Church is pregnant, our minds naturally fall to one thing - what the hell is Charlotte Church going to call her baby? Here are the - you guessed it - pregnant Charlotte Church baby name betting odds, with help from Paddy Power…

Today's a sad day for Anna Nicole Smith fans everywhere - no, not because she's getting buried later on, because it's the final day of our tasteless (but not as tasteless as arguing over a dead body) Anna Nicole Smith babydaddy betting odds.

That's right - we're giving you the once-in-a-lifetime chance to financially benefit from the uncertain parentage of a dead pornstar's baby, so make sure you snap it up before people start doing doing DNA tests and whatnot. So far this week we've discovered that Anna Nicole Smith's cake-baking bodyguard probably isn't her babydaddy, nor is that crazy old German dude she never met. Anna Nicole Smith's boyfriend Howard K Stern might be her babydaddy, but people are dubious. And today we're concluding the Anna Nicole Smith betting odds by presenting the favourite man to have knocked Anna Nicole Smith up with her baby daughter.

Here are the Anna Nicole Smith babydaddy betting odds for Larry Birkhead and Every Other Man Alive (Plus One Dead One), with betting odds from Paddy Power…

It's day two of our slightly tasteless - yet somehow entire appropriate - look at the runners and riders who are claiming that they knocked Anna Nicole Smith up enough for her to pop a baby out before she died.

Yesterday we started our Anna Nicole Smith babydaddy betting odds off by looking at the two rank outsiders - one of Anna Nicole's bodyguards and some lunatic old German guy who probably never even met her. But enough with the smalltalk - today we're getting serious and focusing on someone who already is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, in writing at least. And that's all the proof he needs, even if about a million other people want him to spit in a cup just so they can make sure.

Here's today's Anna Nicole Smith babydaddy betting odds for - you guessed it - Howard K Stern. Betting odds, as ever, come from Paddy Power…

Tricky time of year for us, this; there's no Celebrity Big Brother, no X Factor and no Eurovision for us to do betting odds for - and nobody wants to see five days of Dancing On Ice - so just what in the name of James Cameron's bone box are we to do.

Then the answer hit us like a flash. Nobody knows who the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter Dannielynn Hope is - and plenty of people are saying it's them - so let's do betting odds for that. From now until Friday we're going to be looking at all the various runners and riders who have claimed to have impregnated Anna Nicole Smith before she died. Tasteless? A little bit, but if you're going to go to hell for betting, you may as well go to hell for betting on the parentage of a dead pornstar's daughter.

So here's part one of this week's Anna Nicole Smith babydaddy betting odds - for Alex Denk and Frederic von Anhalt - with betting odds from Paddy Power…

For every good thing in this world there's a bad. For every cop there's a thief, for every Jedi there's an evil Emperor and for every The Queen there's a Nicolas Cage running up a hill dressed as a bear slamming his bear-fist into a woman's face.

Oh, The Razzies, how we love you. Over the last month, in addition to looking at the Oscars betting odds, we've taken the time to look at the movies and people that The Razzies have deemed to be the worst of the year. Worst Actor, Worst Actress, Worst On-Screen Couple, we've looked at them all. And since The Razzies take place tomorrow, we've left the best until last - the Razzies betting odds for the worst movie. And sweet Mary and Joseph are there ever some stinkers here. 

So here are the Razzies betting odds for Worst movie - for The Wicker Man, Lady In The Water, Little Man, Bloodrayne and Basic Instinct 2 - with betting odds from Paddy Power…
