Tourists to Britain more interested in Jamie Oliver than the Queen
The 'Naked Chef' Jamie Oliver has more tourist appeal than the Queen, according to new research. A poll conducted by national tourism board, VisitBritain, revealed that visitors are not too fussed about posing for cheesy pictures outside Buckingham Palace. German, Norwegian and French holidaymakers were particularly dismissive about a royal encounter, ranking Buckingham Palace only just above a full English breakfast on their must-do list. Instead, they would rather hunt down our celebrity chefs, w

Em for Mandela
I NEVER thought I’d see the day when Eminem shared a stage with Nelson Mandela. But I’m flabbergasted to reveal the foul-mouthed rapper has been confirmed to play at the former South African president’s 90th birthday bash this summer. Last month I told how the gig organiser, Queen rocker Brian May, was trying to tempt the controversial star out of retirement for the June 27 gig in London’s Hyde Park. And not-so-Slim Shady has now agreed to dust down his mic. An insider revealed: “W

Naomi Campbell is drunk
Naomi Campbell Got seriously fucked up last night at a private party in Capri, Italy, to the point where she couldn’t even stand up outside the nightclub. Dude, is that adult contemporary icon Kenny G holding her up? Holy shit, I think it is. It’s weird to see him outside his natural habitat of an elevator or dentist’s office. I know Kenny’s probably not the type of Guy to take advantage of this type of situation — but if he is — I’ve found the “Come here often?” line sometimes* works on c

Naomi Campbell to police: "You f***ing white honkeys"
