Jordan dreams of the Olympics

Jordan is dreaming of competing in the Olympics as husband Peter Andre buys her a horse for her 30th birthday today. The horse, called Dana, is said to be a top quality animal with potential to do well in major events.

Jordan’s ultimate dream is to compete and win prestigious dressage competitions, with her heart set on the Olympics.

Least she’s got plenty of space to practice – her Surrey home has 30 spare acres for her to frolic around in…not sure she’ll quite make the team in time for Beijing though. Happy birthday Jordan all the same.


Manchester United reign champions of Europe

In case any you've had your eyes and ears closed for all of last night and this morning – Manchester United took the cup from a gutted Chelsea in Moscow last night, and won themselves the 2008 Champions League title.

Ronaldo scored in the 26th minute to put United in the lead from the offset, but Lampard for Chelsea was soon to equalise just before half time. A relatively uneventful second half led to extra time, and to a more exciting penalty shoot-out, where Ronaldo’s surprise miss (considering his form this season) put the pressure on United, but that was relieved by John Terry’s miss (gutted), and finally Edwin van der Sar save of Nicolas Anelka's shot secured the win for the reds.

Other than Didier Drogba being red-carded in extra time, the match was pretty much straight-forward…and the team mates partied until 11am this morning (Moscow time) in celebration of their win.

In other news…
* The Dalai Lama is here in the UK on an 11 day spiritual visit – and is giving a lecture tour discussing non-violence, and where he sees Tibet’s future lying. His visit is already shrouded in controversy after reports that Gordon Brown has refused to invite him to number 10.
* Amy Winehouse has officially been confirmed on the bill at Glastonbury – performing before headliner Jay-Z on the Pyramid stage on June 28th.
* Disappointingly Raef was the latest candidate to be fired by Sir Alan in the Apprentice last night…when everyone knows that Michael should really have been the next one out the door. A fiery final between any of Claire, Lee, Alex, and Raef would have been fantastic…but sadly is not meant to be…looks like we’ll have to put up with slimy nine-live Michael for one more week…
* Winehouse is also up for three Ivor Novello Awards, with Rehab nominated for Best-Selling British Song, and Love is a Losing Game and You Know I'm No Good, are up for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
