Kerry K says she was on drugs

Remember that infamous GMTV appearence where Kerry Katona seemed jittery, hyperactive and out of it? [View below]

It was a three minute segment that sent everyones tongues wagging, wondering if she was hopped up on coke. Now Kerry has come out to face the music:

"I’m sick to death of all these questions coming up about me being on drugs when I appeared on GMTV. Yes, I am on drugs. It’s my bipolar medication, it’s nothing else, I’m pregnant for God’s sake!"

So there you have it. Kerry has to pop Effexor to keep her stable.

"When I was on GMTV, I was suffering from a bit of nerves but that was also to do with the fact that I haven’t done live telly for so long. The side effects of the drug are a dry mouth, nervousness and fatigue."

In other Kerry news she's been voted the worst celeb mother of the year by the customers of online bank EGG. Don't they have anything better to do?!

GMTV have been having a run of scandalicious guests recently. Just check out this Heather Mills palava that erupted today.

Infinitely more entertaining however is this little youtube wonder:

Lewis out with the boyz

It was yet another night out for Lewis Hamilton last night. The Formula One ace belied his claim that he is moving to Switzerland to escape the limelight by partying in yet another celebrity nightclub, this time Funky Buddha. Lewis found himself mobbed by girls as he partied with a crowd that included US soul singers Boyz II Men.

After a hard night dancing, Lewis, who this weekend blew five-figure sums partying at Paper and Aura, slipped out of the secret back way at the Mayfair venue.

“He was followed out by lots of friends,” an onlooker said. “He was trying not to get photographed.”

Josh the builder

Josh Hartnett appears to be a fan of the hard hat, and quite the handyman.While in town to promote his new film, 30 Days of Night, he couldn’t stop thinking about the building work he has going on back home.

“I had this mess going on with my apartment in New York. It’s driving me insane. It’s been under construction for so long,” the star told LBC 97.3, “And now it’s come down to a labour of love. You end up having to do it all yourself.”

Although there would probably be a big queue to hold the hammer or nails if Josh needed any assistance, I still don't really get his appeal. Just take a look at him... squinty and old before his time, what's with the patchy facial furniture? Ick.

Amy Winehouse helps pandas

Sometimes you don't really want to do any work at all and would rather just piss off to Waitrose and buy Hallowe'en themed cupcakes, which is why it's so great having readers who'll email in brilliant stuff like this (thanks Rebecca Bard). Bye-bye Amy Winehouse pumpkin hunt - we've got a doozy already and it's charitable.

Crafty knife-wielder Sarah Peltier made this pumpkin version of our favourite squash-based singer at work and all the proceeds went to WWF, the animal charity which helps pandas and other less attractive animals.

(FYI - this is one of the pumpkins in our canteen - sweeeeet)

Safe sex is fun!

I love the people in India who made this safe sex infomercial.

Dancing condoms? Tick!

Jaunty music? Tick!

Instructive and amusing lyrics? Tick!

All together now: "I am the condom friend ever useful to you. I am made in different colours with fragrance. I am a shield I will protect you."

Be warned though: it lasts six minutes and you'll be humming it all day.

Katie Holmes gets back to work

Katie's been a busy girl over the past few years, what with all the riding around on motorcycles, baby-birthing and raising the cutest kid around. But now she's back in this feel good heist movie from the people who brought you Thelma and Louise.

Mad Money also stars Diane Keaton, Queen Latfiah and silverfox Ted Danson. Looks like a bit of a dud if you ask me.

Plus ones

Pierce Brosnan is being investigated for thumping a pap in the ribs in Malibu last Friday. Photographer Robert Rosen says the one time Bond boy said, ""Why don't you get a real f**king job" and later "Why don't you f**k off mate." It was after this last comment that Brosnan lashed out. Rosen then wolloped the actor in the stomach as a response.

It seems to be par for the course to get beaten up if you're a snapper these days. As Sienna Miller huffed last week while trying to have a quiet fag: "Photography used to an aaaaaaart."

Screenwriter James Vanderbilt, the man responsible for writing David Fincher's Zodiac, will be scribbling away on the Spiderman 4 script. Sadly it's not out till 2009.

Just look at Angelina Jolie last night at the 18th annual Courage in Journalism awards in Beverly Hills. Sigh.

Snoop Dogg will pop in for a cameo in Ugly Betty. He gets trapped in an elevator with Betty. Wonder if he'll bring a doobie...

You might remember a few weeks ago Peaches emerging from a London club with her pal from the band The More Assured. He opened up his robe and exposed his naked body covered in his band name scribbled all over his flesh.

A nice little publicity stunt. But what of the music. Totally Good Shoes meets The Libertines. Distinctly average.

Watch this cheerleader get trampled by a football team. That's gotta hurt.

Tedious show loses viewers, producers wonder why

WARNING! CONTAINS SPOILERS! BUT IT'S OK, SEASON 2'S A PILE OF CRAP

Nobody was more surprised than I when Heroes, last year’s big fat hope for TV turned out to be a big fat waste of time – and it’s just posted its lowest viewing figures ever in the States. Down by three million compared to this time last year! Hurray! Bring on the cancellation!

Don’t get me wrong, I love superheroes – and I mean in a geeky, die alone under piles of fallen comics sort of way. But Heroes? Please. It’s like the X Files met The OC and decided to part on a handshake rather than a earthquaking shag.

Let’s add it up. They’ve had Hiro stuck in the Japanese equivalent of A Knight’s Tale for four episodes, some cripplingly annoying Mexican siblings killing people with food colouring, Claire’s dad’s still evil, and Claire’s met a Hero she actually fancies and who is now clearly earmarked to die in, ooh, three episodes time, tops. Where’re the insane schizo twins? Where’s the cool powers? And since when did Micah become a crowd-following super sheep?

KT Tunstall - last night at the Roundhouse

Five guitar changes in to her gig, and about as many music genres, KT Tunstall finally returned to safe ground. The Scot played rock - mixed with country tunes - but it was alone on the stage, only accompanied by her guitar and voice, that she excelled.

The half-Chinese songstress looked tiny behind oversized guitars but her big voice easily filled the Roundhouse and pleased her middle-aged audience.   

The occasionally added trumpet, cello and a classical bass beautifully layered the music, boosting the depth of her four-piece backing band.

Tunstall’s golden glitter dress and impressive star lit backdrop made the evening a feast for the eyes, as well as ears.

Denied! K-Fed retains full custody

Following yesterday's court hearing Commissioner Scott Gordon has decreed that Kevin Federline will maintain full custody of the kids and Brit will be granted two day and one overnight visit per week. All visits will be supervised.

Gordon said "the environment at [Britney's] house ranged from chaotic to almost somber with little communication at all."

But it was the parenting coach's testimony that was the most damning. She said, "during all three of my visits, Ms. Spears rarely engaged with the children in either conversation or play."

This just makes me sad inside. Poor Sean Preston and Jayden.

The coach added that Brit lacked "general attention at times" and although the singer's actions could not be labeled "as abusive in a traditional sense.

"The problem is that unless Ms. Spears realises the consequences of her behavior and the impact that it has [on] her children, nothing is going to be successful."
