Nigella Lawson and her husband share a wealth of about £110 million, but her kids can piss off if they think they're seeing any of it.
In a recent interview, Nigella Lawson has stated that she's refusing to leave her children any money in her will, because she thinks that rich kids are arseholes and that not earning money "ruins people."
Nigella Lawson married a man worth £100 million and lives in his £7 million Belgravia mansion. And her dad used to be Chancellor Of The Exchequer. We're just saying.
Hindsight's a bitch - it's easy to wonder how different things would be if Hitler got more hugs or someone said "No Jamie Lynn, not without a condom."
But someone who has no time for hindsight is Jack Nicholson. Though it's natural for people close to Heath Ledger to ask themselves if they could have done anything differently to stop his death, Jack Nicholson doesn't have to.
That's because Jack Nicholson says he warned Heath Ledger about taking sleeping pills. And if things are bad enough for Jack Nicholson to warn you about stuff...
Heath Ledger's initial autopsy might not have thrown up any clues as to why he died, but NYPD sources might have put their finger on one possible answer.
According to TMZ, five different types of pills were found in the apartment where Heath Ledger died - all prescibed to him - including Valium, Lorazepam, Xanax and two different types of sleeping pills.
However, while we await the toxicology report that's due late last week, pneumonia has been resolutely ruled out as a cause of Heath Ledger's sudden death.
While the world is still trying to get its head around yesterday's sudden death of Heath Ledger, it's already time to start figuring out exactly what killed him.
The autopsy on Heath Ledger's body will take place today, meaning that it shouldn't be long before we know which of the conflicting stories about Heath Ledger's death - was it suicide? An accidental overdose? Pneumonia? - is most accurate.
Meanwhile, tributes have been pouring in from Heath's admirers, friends and family.
Heath Ledger has been found dead in his Manhattan apartment.
The unconcious body of the 28-year-old Aussie actor was discovered by his housekeeper on Tuesday afternoon.
Ike Turner - the man who invented rock and roll but is best known for that film where Laurence Fishburne dressed up as him and punched a woman - has died.
Although no cause of death has been stated, it's thought that Ike Turner was suffering from emphysema. He was 76. Drug addict, jailbird, wife-beater and the man who made Tina Turner a star - therefore ultimately responsible for Steamy Windows - Ike Turner had a hell of a lot to answer for, but the stamp that Ike Turner left on music will be remembered forever.
OK, we're just saying that because we're scared of Ike Turner's ghost beating us up in our sleep. Really, have you seen What's Love Got To Do With It?
Kanye West never made any secret of how much his mother Dr Donda West meant to him, filling his albums with mentions of her and, in one case, an entire song dedicated to her.
But now Donda West is dead at the tragically young age of 58, and it's time for Kanye West and the authorities to find out why. At the moment the finger seems to be pointing to complications arising from a cosmetic surgery procedure, possibly involving an existing heart condition. Regardless of whose mother she was, Donda West's death will come as a shock to the increasing number of people who see cosmetic surgery as a completely harmless routine procedure. Although the majority of plastic surgery operations go smoothly, chances are the world is asking the same question today: why Kanye West's mother and not, say, Jodie Marsh?
There's nothing like a list of people who earn more in a year than you ever will in your entire life even though they've been dead for years to inject some sunshine into your life, is there?
That's right - the annual Forbes Dead Celebrity Rich List has been published, and it's been another classic year for Elvis Presley. Elvis has managed to earn $49 million over the last year, $5 million more than his nearest rival John Lennon could muster. It's a triumphant return to the top spot for Elvis Presley, who was knocked into second place last year by Kurt Cobain, with industry experts claiming that this reflects the current public trend for favouring bloated corpses with blasted-open colons over miserable corpses with bits of their heads missing.
