Sam: I’ll marry Lindsay within the next six months
Sam used her DJ slot at top LA hotel and night spot Chateau Marmont to announce the news, telling clubbers: “By the end of this year, my love will be Mrs Ronson.”
In other news…
* Heather Mills lost a role in the US version of Celebrity Apprentice after demanding a clause in her contract guaranteeing a place in the final no matter how rubbish she was…apparently producers weren’t too happy with her divaish demands and she has been axed. Shame.
* Alice Dellal seems to be doing a good job of stepping in to Kate Mosses shoes as her Agent Provocateur replacement – pictures have been sold of the young model sprawled on the floor in a London home with a thick line of cocaine in front of her. Oops.
* Jack Ryder has joined the cast of R4’s The Archers…the beginning of the end?
* 1980s funk-jazz singer Jill Saward (come on...we all know who she is) has become seriously ill after having a facelift for a new reality TV show apparently. The Shakatak frontwoman had the procedure while taking part in Living TV's Pop Goes The Band, which sees former musical stars undergoing surgery in a bid to relaunch their careers. Sounds like its set to be a classic.
* Misha Barton has revealed she’s planning to launch a range of headbands. Career’s going well then.
QUOTE OF THE DAY:
