Published articles: Mail Online

I spent a brief amount of time in the Mail Online offices the other week and wrote three showbiz articles that I thought I should share.

I didn't have a byline but I promise I played a hand in writing each of these articles.

Adele is due to give birth in TWO months?

Well rumour has it baby Adele is going to be here much sooner than we were expecting!



Even though Adele only officially announced she was expecting her first child with her charity worker boyfriend Simon Knoecki on June 29, sources close to the singer have revealed the baby is due in a matter of weeks.

Speaking to Heat magazine, the source said: “Adele has barely left the house in recent months, so she could keep this to herself for as long as possible.”

This means the normally chatty singer has been keeping the news secret for seven months. Pretty impressive considering she's the biggest star on the planet at the moment!

The source added: “She stopped exercising a few months ago, and since then it’s been all about the baby.”

The revelation could explain why Adele didn't fly to the Billboard Awards in May or why she snuck in to the Ivor Novello Awards in May wearing a full-length loose fitting black dress. She even refused to speak to the media or pose for pictures.

We're just excited that we don't have to wait as long now!

What do you think Adele is having? Girl or boy?

Kourtney Kardashian has finally given birth and she's called her daughter, Penelope Scotland Disick!



Kourtney and Scott welcomed little Penelope into the world in Los Angeles yesterday weighing seven pounds and 14 ounces.

Speaking to E! News, Kourtney said: "Scott and I are overjoyed to welcome our precious angel Penelope Scotland Disick into our lives."

The couple already have one uber adorable kid together, Mason Dash Disick, and we guess they are 'keeping up' with the trend of interesting middle name choices.

Sister Kim was quick to send out her love on Twitter this morning writing: "Welcome to the world Penelope Scotland Disick!!!!"

The tweet also had a link to Kim's blog where she wrote: "Welcome to the world, Penelope Scotland Disick! Kourtney gave birth to a beautiful baby daughter on Sunday and the whole family is so thrilled to finally meet her! She is absolutely perfect! I am so excited to be an aunt again and can’t wait to spoil little Penelope. I know Mason is going to be the best big brother in the whole world. Congratulations Kourtney and Scott. Xo"

Awwww we can't wait to see these two battle it out on the cuteness factor!

Are you excited to see baby Penelope?

Events: Clarins 'Eau Dynamisante' 25th birthday

It’s not every day you get a shimmery red invite to a Clarins party, so I count myself lucky that I had the pleasure to attend the 25th anniversary of its fragrance ‘Eau Dynamisante’ this week. As if that wasn’t enough, this is also the tenth year they are celebrating the most ‘Dynamisante’ woman (see what they did there?) in the UK.



And so to Claridges Hotel..... Read the full post here: allaboutyou.com

Article: Bear Grylls Exclusive

Cameron Diaz is set to join Bear Grylls on the next season of 'Man vs. Wild', the action man has confirmed.

(BANG)

Cameron Diaz is to learn how to survive in the wild.



The 'Bad Teacher' actress has agreed to join Bear Grylls on the next series of his adventure show 'Man vs. Wild' - which features the action man dropped into inhospitable locations and showing viewers how to endure the experiences - but the pair first need to work out a suitable time in their schedules.

Bear exclusively told Bang Showbiz: "She's agreed to it, which is great. So we're gonna try and do it in due course."

The 38-year-old actress will be following in the footsteps of comedian Will Farrell and also Jake Gyllenhaal, who just accompanied Bear on a trip to Iceland, with the survival expert describing him as the "fittest man in Hollywood".

He joked: "I have a rule not to take anyone who is fitter or better looking than me but I kind of let that slide and ended taking the fittest man in Hollywood."

Bear had to be "less reckless" after promising Jake's sister that he wouldn't take any crazy risks but admitted they still encountered some extreme situations.

He explained: "We hit these crazy storms. They were the worst storms they've had in Iceland in ten years. There was a jumbo jet blown sideways across a runway meanwhile I was up in this mountain with Jake being blown about like tumbleweed.

"For me it's great to take along someone who is really up for it like that and be able to push him as well."

Bear Grylls stars in 'Man vs. Wild', which premieres on the Discovery Channel on July 11.

Article - Penelope Cruz Married!

The pair had a top secret ceremony at the beginning of July at a friend’s house in the Bahamas. Cruz’s representative confirmed the nuptials saying the ceremony was a small one that only family members attended.

The actress, who was once engaged to Tom Cruise, had her dress designed by long time friend, fashion designer John Galliano. The couple both starred in the Woody Allen romantic comedy Vicky Cristina Barcelonain the 2008.

UPDATE: According to Life & Style magazine, the pair is also expecting their first child!

An insider says the pair wanted to get married before their baby arrives next year!



It seems secret marriages are in style at the moment.

Last month transformers star Megan Fox secretly married her fiancé of two years – not two weeks like some people are saying – and long time lover Brian Austin Green. The couple got married in Hawaii at the Four Seasons Hualalai at Historic Ka’upulehu on the big island of Hawaii, which is known for throwing A-list weddings.

An insider said:

“They had a fairly large wedding, and there were nearly more security guards than guests. They wanted so much security that they had to call in local security because the hotel security alone couldn’t do it. It was very hush hush. Everyone was sworn to secrecy. Megan and Brian had already been there for a few days. It seemed like a spur of the moment thing. I don’t think it had been planned long.”

Feature - Advice for LiLo

Poor poor Lilo, sent to jail again because she couldn’t follow the rules. How unfair is that? She is clearly the only celebrity in the history of Hollywood to be facing such unjust treatment. It’s not like rapper Lil Wayne is in jail right now as we speak, serving a one year sentence. No, 90 days is much worse than that.

One can only imagine the advise she must be getting from others who have been in her position.

Paris Hilton –

If you actually have to serve more than a week ,start having panic attacks and claim your chlosterphobic, that helped make my time easier. Oh and claim you’ve found Jesus! Become a Christian and tell everyone you’ve been saved. It’s the cool thing to do when you come out of prison and you’ll get a Larry king interview as soon as you get out. And don’t forget to have a fabulous outfit planned for when you go in and come out. It’s a perfect time to promote your legging line!

Nicole Richie –

I only served 82 mintues so I don’t actually have advice to give you. You can follow my example and made it a bad girl gone good situation. Ditch your mum as a manager, lose all the fake friends, settle down and have a baby and everyone will love you again. Then you’ll be living the simple life.

Robert Downey Jr. –



Suck it up and serve the time like a man. Use this sentence to plan how you are going to get back into Hollywood. Before you know it you’ll be in the next Iron man movie with me.

Boy George –



Keep claiming your innocent and it wasn’t your fault. Kiss up to everyone and anyone you can and before you know they’ll be letting you out for ‘good behaviour’.

Khloe Kardashian –

I only spent a few hours in jail so I cant really help with that but I think you accept the sentence, do the time and then come out with a reality show, marry a sportsman and open up a fashion store. Prison is the best thing that could happen to your career! Just use it to make you even more famous like I have.

Article - Mel Gibson

The once loved actor and director Mel Gibson has gone on a downward spiral since 2006 when he harassed a female police officer while being arrested for a DUI. We thought ‘sugart*ts’ and his claim that ‘Jews’ were responsible for all the wars in the world were shocking but he has been caught out once again. This time the victim of his abuse is his ex girlfriend and baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva.



Gibson is still finalising the divorce with his ex-wife of over 20 years whom he cheated on to be with Oksana but he seem he couldn’t stay faithful to her either and they have now split following rumours he had an affair with a porn star.

And this is all from a man who is a ‘devout catholic’ and directed the record breaking ‘The Passion of Christ’!

Now Gibson and Oksana are going through a bitter custody battle for their 9 month old daughter, Lucia. Oksana is revealing evidence that shows why Gibson is not fit to be around his daughter let alone look after her and Gibson’s action are infuriating just about everyone in Hollywood!

Radaronline claim to have heard a message that Gibson left Oksana and report that they heard him say abusive and racist comments such as:

“You’re an embarrassment to me. You look like a f*cking pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n*ggers, it will be your fault.”

“How dare you act like such a b*tch when I have been so f*cking nice.”

“I am going to come and burn the f*cking house down… but you will blow me first.”

“Look what every part of you is… f*cking fake… f*cking fake. You are the most synthetic person… who the f*ck are you?”

“This is my last message. I might be the father. Well, f*ck you. You psycho c***. Because I don’t care.”

While no other site has heard or seen this evidence, most people are accepting that this could easily be real recordings of Gibson on yet another insulting verbal attack. The star’s outburst has infuriated civil rights leader Rev Jesse Jackson, who has asked for Gibson to get ‘help’.

He told RadarOnline that this leak “demonstrates once again that we are far from a society that is beyond race and racism. His penchants for anti-Semitic and racist diatribes reveal the actor’s fundamental character flaw.”

There are also rumours that he hit Oksana, knocking out two of her teeth and giving her a concussion. While we are yet to find out what it actually true I think it’s fair to say that Mel Gibson’s career is definitely over because I doubt anyone in Hollywood will want to be associated with this man!

Glenn Selig, founder of PR firm The Publicity Agency, said:

“The public can overlook a lot, but this is not something they will tolerate or stomach. This will spell the end for Mel Gibson. If true, not only will he be rejected by the public but by Hollywood.”

A studio boss has said: “Last time he just managed to claw back his career. This time he will be a pariah. He offended not only women but a huge swathe of the public. Any Hollywood exec will fear a backlash if they use him.”
