Special Offer!

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has stunned the world of football by leaving Stamford Bridge by mutual consent.

The decision comes after the club held a crisis meeting to discuss the indifferent start to the new season.

The 'Special One', 44, joined Chelsea in June 2004 and led them to the Premiership title in each of his first two seasons.

But his relationship with Blues owner Roman Abramovich grew increasingly troubled and he quit despite having three years left on his contract.



Amy Win-House
Soul singer Amy Winehouse has been named female artist of the year at two music award ceremonies in London.

The star collected her trophy at the Mobo (Music of Black Origin) Awards at the O2 arena, where she performed two songs from her album Back to Black.

And she sent the landlord of her local pub to accept her prize at the Vodafone Live Music Awards at Earls Court. Also at the Mobos, rapper Dizzee Rascal was named best male act, while Kanye West and Ne-Yo each won two awards.

West's video Stronger received the honour of best video of the past 12 months, and he was also best hip-hop act, although he was not at the show to collect his trophies. Because of You by Ne-Yo was considered best song, and the American was named top R&B artist.


Piping Hot
Billie Piper has begged her young fans to avoid watching her act as a prostitute in new TV drama Secret Life of a Call Girl.
The actress has asked the young audience that watches her former show Doctor Who to not see her in her new steamier role because she is worried that they could be left shocked.
Piper said: "The kids who watched me in Doctor Who shouldn't watch me in this. "I have this abiding fear of people thinking I leaped at the chance to appear in a series that's heavy on sex and that therefore I'm sort of a slag. "I thought longer and harder about taking on this role than I had about any other. I hope I made the right decision. "
Piper's character is inspired by a blog by a real-life call girl. The drama will be shown on September 27 on ITV2 at 10pm.
