In other news…
* Batman star Christian Bale was arrested yesterday for allegedly assaulting his mum and his sister. He spent four hours being questioned by police over a family bust up at the London Dorchester hotel.
* BB evictee Stephanie McMichael is secretly dating BB8 housemate Liam McGough. Apparently the two met at a house party a couple of weeks ago at BB8’s Ziggy Lichman’s pad.
* Peaches Geldof's collapse on Sunday afternoon was due to ‘accidentally inhaling ammonia fumes from hair dye’ according to the official statement by her agent. The dizzy wannabe blonde apparently forgot to leave the window open…oh Peaches you dopey one…and hence inhaled her hair dye, causing her to collapse unconscious and require paramedic attention.
* Meanwhile in Shoreditch a few days before Peaches accidentally left a shopping list of drugs scrawled on a piece of paper on a pub table in the Old Blue Last bar...she really needs to start paying attention doesn't she? – the said list was discovered by the next occupants of the table who watched her leave it. The note listed weed and coke for £85, £60 Diaz [diazepam], and 2 viagra next to Peaches name. She must have been rushing off to get that hair dye before the shops closed...
