America is saved

Brit barred

As the news that Barack Obama has become the first black US President breaks, so too does the rumour that Britney Spears had her invitation to Lilo and Sam Ronson's lavish US election party retracted when Sam discovered that Brit is a big Sarah Palin fan. Brit apparently thinks that the terrifying Palin is a style icon and a strong inspiring woman. So nothing to do with the teen pregnancy family ties then.

I promise to take you DJ Tom...

Sarah Harding is engaged to DJ Tom Crane and proudly flaunted her engagement ring as she celebrated with her fellow bandmates at the Music Industry Trust dinner on Monday evening. They are apparently planning the mother of all rock n roll weddings and have already spoken about starting a large family. Enough to start the next S Club Juniors perhaps? Tantrums Aloud?

Like father like daughter

Georgia May Jagger seems to be a chop off the old block as the 16 year old turned heads when she rocked up to the Vogue party in London this week. Can't say I see much of her supermodel mother in her though...








And finally...

• Xtra-Factor presenter Holly Willoughby's parents must have got a bit of a shock when Simon Cowell revealed their daughter was pregnant live on air on Saturday. They didnt know. Opps. Awkward. Simon then took Holly and her parents out for a pricey meal at a slap-up restaurant to say sorry.
  
• As we all expected Russell Brand's tail-between-his-legs (so to speak) exit from the Beeb (and indeed the UK) has done him no harm at all. HBO have now approached him about fronting a Friday Night Live show from Universal City.
• Jo O'Meash, Bradley McIntosh and Paul Cattermole are planning to unite once again as S CLUB 3. The others are too busy dancing / on the dole / weeping to take part.
