Kerry Katona might whore herself out for reality TV shows and adverts for frozen prawn rings, but never for sex with men - and now that's super-official! Yesterday Kerry Katona won five-figure damages from The Sunday Mirror after it claimed that her mother was about to write a book claiming that Kerry was a massive prostitute before she became famous. Which obviously isn't true for a number of reasons. Firstly, anyone who'd consider buying a book by Kerry Katona's mum about how Kerry Katona was a hooker is obviously stupid to the point of illiteracy, which tends not to be a good demographic to market books to. Secondly, and most importantly, Kerry Katona can't have been a prostitute because most men would rather attack their own genitals with a claw-hammer than pay Kerry Katona cash to touch them with her hands or mouth.
If you see Hugh Grant or Liz Hurley, you're bound to want to take a picture of them. That's just basic logic at work - your choices are essentially limited to taking a picture of Hugh Grant or Liz Hurley or approaching them and saying "Hi, I really loved you in Music And Lyrics/ Passenger 57." And only the very worst kind of pathological liar would think to do that last one. But wait - don't go taking pictures of Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley without their permission, because they'll sue you and win £58,000, which is what happened yesterday after a photo agency took their picture on holiday. The moral of this story is that Hugh Grant and Liz Hurley value their privacy, although clearly not enough to stop making films and doing modelling jobs. Even though everyone sort of wishes they would.
The best thing about Strictly Come Dancing is that all the celebrities are clearly sleeping with their dance partners. Clearly. Except one. GMTV's Kate Garraway - who took part in last year's Strictly Come Dancing - definitely didn't have sex with her chinny professional partner Anton Du Beke, and if you say she did you have to give her loads of money. Which is what the Sunday Mirror has done after publishing a story claiming that Kate Garraway and Anton Du Beke were having an affair. In retrospect it seems like a silly claim - the thought of a Garraway/Du Beke affair seems ludicrous. Because, well, because he's a massive chinny chin machine with a great big chinny chin.
Leslie Ash has reportedly won more than £500,000 in damages for her hospital superbug drama, which halted her TV career and almost killed her.
The payout comes just weeks before she was due to start a £1m lawsuit against the NHS. Her lawyers said that Ash lost out on "hundreds of thousands of pounds" in future earnings, and told the Daily Mirror that “Matters are at a delicate stage, but we are no longer going to court. It will be settled this week.”
Say what you like about Samatha Janus - actually, no, don't say what you like about Samantha Janus, especially if it's about how much Samantha Janus likes having lesbian orgies on drugs, because she'll just end up suing you.
And more than that, she'll end up winning - because Samantha Janus definitely, officially, legally doesn't like to have massive lesbian orgies on drugs, because that's what The Sunday Sport said about her and she's just won a giant load of damages for it. And let's hope that Samantha Janus' disinterest in having massive sweaty lesbian orgies on drugs also stretches to the rest of her EastEnders TV family, because that way we know that the frankly rather sickening mental images we've been having of Phil Mitchell all red-faced in the middle of a three-hour massive sweaty lesbian sex orgy on drugs will never manifest themselves physically.
