Apprentice boss Sir Alan Sugar has reportedly signed a £1 million book deal, which will see him write his first ever autobiography.
In true Sugar style, Sir Alan handled all the negotiations himself and refused to pay a hefty cut of his fee for an agent to manage the bids for him.
An insider told The Sun: “Anyone interested had to make a decent case to him personally – just like a boardroom scene in The Apprentice.
Vernon Kay has shocked the world of showbiz today, after it was revealed that he has been sending lewd and suggestive texts to a page three model.
Vernon, who is married to Strictly Come Dancing presenter Tess Daly, has been messaging 23-year-old Rhian Sugden and a source close to him told The Sun:
Coronation Street will air its first lesbian kiss this Spring as young Sophie Webster locks lips with Sian Powers.
Sophie is comforting Sian, after she splits with her boyfriend Ryan Connor when a friendly hug turns into a passionate kiss.
After hearing that Alfie Moon would be returning to Eastenders later this year, we had hoped that Kat Slater would make a comeback too. We were elated today to hear that she will!
The Sun reports that actress Jessie Wallace has signed an initial one year contract to reprise her role as Kat. Jessie last appeared on the BBC soap as Kat and Alfie left the Square on Christmas Day 2005, to start a new life in America.
We’re all painfully aware of the problem of radical extremists who are willing to sacrifice not only their own lives but thousands of others in an attempt to have the last word. That word is, generically speaking, Jihad.
It’s a word that has become a metaphor for abhorrent acts of terrorism all over the world, and for this film, long-serving journalist Peter Taylor chose Yorkshire – his childhood home – to explore just why it is that young men in particular are being drawn into the concept of a die-and-kill-for-your-cause mentality.
And for some reason that wasn’t made entirely obvious in the film, Northern England seems to spawn more of these impressionable and radicalised young men than pretty much anywhere else in the country. Read more & comment »
Dispatches reporters Joe Ward and Karim Shah got temporary jobs with Royal Mail for this film, in order to highlight problems at the sharp end of RM’s stick, with the end result that one wonders how it’s still in business.
We’re all acutely aware of just how annoying it is when the post’s late, or worse, doesn’t arrive at all, and in this film, we got to see why. The answer is basically that Royal Mail, like possibly every other large organisation on the planet right now, is paying peanuts and employing monkeys, in every sector of its business.
Now before I get hate mail from every good, hard working postie in the land – and there are many, my own trusty and rather tired postie included – let me say that that statement is a generic metaphor rather than a dig at any individual. Read more & comment »

David Dimbelby took us by the hand and led us through the ‘interesting’ world of art and artefacts through the ages, and though I do have a soft spot for David Dimblebumblebee, this documentary failed to rouse my interest.
Perhaps it’s because I’m a philistine or perhaps it’s because I was tired, but whatever the reason, the only highlight for me came in seeing Dimblebumblebee hanging off a rope in his endeavour to check out a medieval painting that’s hanging in Coventry’s Holy Trinity Church.
And one has to admire his pluck; being 71 years old, it’s arguably a testament to his commitment to strive for the best in journalistic endeavour that he’d dangle 40ft up, particularly when he might more easily have simply had a camera-person zoom in on it. Read more & comment »
Maybe I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be 19 years old, and perhaps I was as impressionable and naïve as Leanne McCarthy, the subject of this Channel 4 film, but watching it as an objective outsider, it seems incredible that she didn’t see through her ‘MI5’ boyfriend, Wayne Gouveia.
But of course, it’s very easy for me to say, sitting here and not being in Leanne’s shoes.
And I guess he must’ve seemed like the ‘dream’ boyfriend; apparently rich and generous and seemingly very protective, I suppose to a vulnerable and trusting young girl, he may well have been utterly believable. Read more & comment »
Gordon Brown has become the third celebrityperson to break down in tears during a TV interview this week. Following in the footsteps of Peter Andre and Alastair Campbell, Brown had his emotional moment during the recording of his interview with Piers Morgan for his ‘Life Stories’ series.

Desperate Housewives actress Drea De Matteo has revealed that she wishes she’d never accepted a role on Friend’s spinoff show, Joey.
She says she hated working on the show because Joey producers just wanted an caricatured version of her Sopranos character.
“After that I just quit for a while,” she told the Daily Record. “I didn’t want to act anymore. When they killed me on The Sopranos I crawled all the way to a sitcom where they really buried me.
Gok Wan has announced that he is writing an autobiography, which will be released this September.
The previously obese How To Look Good Naked presenter has signed a deal with Ebury Press.
Wan, told Whats On TV: “There’s a lot to tell, some of it still painful, but I think it will be all worth it and prove a revealing, entertaining and above all inspirational read.”
Shane Richie will be reprising his role as Alfie Moon and returning to BBC soap Eastenders.
The 45-year-old actor left Walford on Christmas Day 2005 when Alfie and wife Kat (Jessie Wallace) reunited and left to make a new life in America. Richie will begin filming on the soap this autumn and will be on screen for the all important Christmas storylines.
On Monday at 7:30pm, a hung-over Peter apologises to Leanne for letting her down, but she’s angry and upset and not in a forgiving mood. Peter soon finds himself on the end of a tongue-lashing from Janice too, and she lets him know how he’s let everyone down, especially Leanne.
Leanne’s later concerned when she discovers that Peter’s disappeared. With that, she heads out with Ken, Deirdre and George to check the local pubs, but there’s no sign of him.
George agrees to look after Simon while Leanne continues to search for Peter, but unbeknown to the search party, Peter’s let himself into Turner’s Joinery building – the site of the new bar – and is helping himself to the leftover wine left from the hard hat party. Read more & comment »
