Myleene Klass’s ex-husband Graham Quinn has unleashed an astonishing attack on the star following a recent interview she gave to the Daily Mail.

READ MORE:


In the interview, Myleene suggests she lost money through her divorce and blamed herself for not signing a prenup with Graham, who she married in 2001, before splitting just six months later.

“That was as stupid as it gets,” she told the paper. “One of my girlfriends said later, ‘You married a former drug dealer who wouldn’t sign a prenup. What were you thinking?’

"I’m talking about when a guy can take it off you. I’ll never let that happen again, so help me God. If I’d decided to gamble with my money, I could take that, but someone taking it... no."

Now Graham has taken to Twitter to attack his former wife in a series of angry tweets.

“Thankyou for once again slandering my name in the papers to promote yourself,” he tweeted.

“It's frankly embarrassing and complete lies...@KlassMyleene. I've stayed quiet for three years now but enough is enough. Please explain to me how I took your money?

“I lost so much money from our divorce and our house that we bought together.

“...and further money from me fighting you over letting me be a father to my kids whom I haven't seen in over a year… shameful.

“One day I hope you will put the interests of your children first and let them see their father…. instead of focusing on what lies you can tell to boost your career.”

Myleene and Graham have two daughters together, seven-year-old Ava and Hero, four.

The former Hear’Say singer has yet to respond to Graham’s tweets but we have a feeling it’s only a matter of time.

Adam Deacon Guilty Of Posting Abusive Messages About Former Co-Star And Director Noel Clarke

Adam Deacon has been found guilty of posting abusive messages on social media about his former co-star, mentor and 'Adulthood' director Noel Clarke.

Deacon, 32, was found to have sent Mr Clarke a "barrage" of abusive and threatening messages after the pair fell out over the title of hit film Anuvahood.

He branded Mr Clarke a "bully" and accused him of sabotaging his career in hundreds of "consistent and continuous" posts on Instagram and Twitter, Hammersmith Magistrates' Court in London heard.

Once good friends, the pair stopped talking after a disagreement over the 2011 film Anuvahood, in which Deacon made his directorial debut and for which he won a Bafta.

Mr Clarke told the court that he helped launch Deacon's career by selecting him to star in his films 'Kidulthood' and Adulthood.

Finding Deacon guilty, District Judge Shenagh Bayne told him: "I am satisfied that all of the messages that you sent out were sent out in the context of an ongoing grievance that you have got with Noel Clarke. And that clearly is a long-standing grievance - it goes back many, many years."

She added that he would have known the response his messages would have received on social media and that, by posting pictures of Mr Clarke's family, he had made "veiled threats".

Adding that these threats "exacerbated" the harassment Mr Clarke felt, she continued: "The sheer number of messages that you sent is indicative of your intention to harass Mr Clarke."

"You were aware of the effect that your behaviour would have.

"You clearly were trying to illicit a response from Mr Clarke otherwise why post #wallofsilence, #industry and #standuptobullies.

"I am satisfied so that I am sure that you intended to cause him harassment and distress because of your grievance that goes back a long time," she concluded.

Arcade Fire will be taking their fans inside their minds in their first feature film 'The Reflektor Tapes', due in cinemas from the end of September.

The Grammy-Award winning band have been shifting albums in droves since their inception in 2001, including the Grammy winner 'The Suburbs', but this is the first time they've revealed themselves on film.

The Reflektor Tapes is directed by Sundance winner Kahlil Joseph, and is described as a meeting of documentary, music, art and history, and will include personal footage, interviews and moments captured by the band themselves.

As well as going behind the scenes of the making of the band's critically-acclaimed album 'Reflektor', it charts the band's intimate creative journey as they laid the foundations for the record in Jamaica, then started recording in Montreal, and played an impromptu gig in Haiti, before taking their live show to arenas in Los Angeles and London.

Arcade Fire said of the film: “There were parts of the Reflektor tour where I think we, Arcade Fire, came the closest in our careers to putting on stage what we imagined in our heads. We were insanely lucky to have Kahlil Joseph documenting from the very beginning."

To accompany the film announcement, Arcade Fire have also released this exclusive new music video for the track 'Porno', created by Kahlil Joseph and featuring footage from The Reflektor Tapes.

Carol Vorderman has laughed off reports that she’s to follow in the footsteps of fellow former ‘Loose Women’ stars Denise Welch and Carol McGiffin by entering the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house.

SEE ALSO:


The former presenter of the ITV daytime show was linked to a spot in the famous Borehamwood bungalow earlier this month, but fans shouldn’t expect to see her on the line-up when the show launches in August.

Carol has admitted she has “never even seen” the Channel 5 reality series, despite some of her mates starring on it.

After spotting a news story linking her to ‘CBB’ on Twitter, she retweeted it, adding: “I am not now or ever going into Big Brother house.

“Laughing at the thought of it. Never even watched the programme :).”

Damn, well there goes our hopes of seeing her going at it hammer and tongs with Gemma Collins over a box of eggs.




The former ‘TOWIE’ star is just one of the names who is strongly rumoured to be entering the house, along with comedian Bobby Davro, Atomic Kitten singer Natasha Hamilton, and ‘X Factor’ couple Stevi Ritchie and Chloe Jasmine.

Karen Danczuk, former model Janice Dickinson, ‘The Apprentice’ alumni James Hill and Gemma’s fellow ‘Essex’ star Dan Osborne are also rumoured to be heading into in the infamous bungalow.

The show returns to Channel 5 next month.

‘Game Of Thrones’ fans are once again questioning whether Kit Harington’s character Jon Snow is actually dead, despite the dramatic season five finale.

If you’re not up to speed on the episode’s events then look away now…

Jon Snow lives? We can only hope...


The shock finale saw Jon stabbed multiple times and left in a pool of blood. However, despite this - and the fact Kit has reportedly been told his ‘Game Of Thrones’ career is over - fans are now wondering whether Jon could be alive after all.

According to fans on Twitter, the actor has been spotted in Belfast, close to where series six is currently being filmed:




This tweet comes just days after other fans claimed to have seen Kit at the city’s airport. Of course, they also took to Twitter to log the sighting and discuss what it could mean for the character:







Debate over whether Jon could be alive started earlier this month, when it became clear that Kit wasn’t getting rid of his character’s luscious, long locks any time soon.

Kit has previously spoken out about the haircut, which is very much his character’s rather than his own.

During a Rolling Stone interview last year, Kit admitted he couldn’t wait to get rid of the ‘do, revealing that when his time in Westeros is up, he’d ask his agent if he could “can cut my f**king hair!"

Could it really be that #JonSnowLives? Watch this space…

'Great British Bake Off' Host Sue Perkins Found Baked Alaska-Gate 'Painful - But Headlines Need To Be Made'

'Great British Bake Off' host Sue Perkins has reflected on last year's Baked Alaska-gate, admitting that it was "painful" to see the Twitter-storm take off, to find their controversy appearing on 'Newsnight', and for contestant Diana Beard to leave the show.

On the eve of the return of the show, Sue told the Guardian that the incident, which saw contestant Ian Watters dessert melted, and him eventually throw it in the bin, was a "non-event in the tent".

She said, "Most of our work isn't done on camera, it's pastoral care, all about trying to make people look good. So it's a bit painful when that's undermined. But I understand headlines need to be made."

Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins say it's their job for everyone to look good, and it's painful when that's undermined


She added it caused her pain to see the incident investigated on 'Newsnight', with presenter Kirsty Wark donning a pinny to interview Ian over the controversy.

"Important news stories get relegated, and that causes pain," said Sue. "I could tell you the stories that were prominent that day, including Syria and the Middle East, things that people needed to know about. It felt like the show is so genuine that people can’t bear it, and look for lies."

Her co-presenter Mel Giedroyc added, "Mel Kirsty Wark agreed it felt pretty surreal.

"I don’t do Twitter, but I found it odd that people cared enough to make peoples lives, like Diana’s [Bake Off’s eldest contestant, who quit the show] quite difficult."

great british bake off
Mel and Sue credit Mary Berry for the success of the show, which moved last year to BBC1


And Sue added, "That’s the thing about the niceness of the show – you can have a Twitter storm about something like a fallen cake. Except, at the end of every Twitter storm there’s a woman being abused. This time it was a 69-year-old woman, nice as pie, WI, wouldn’t hurt a fly.

"But I also see lots of positives about the democratisation of the world through Twitter. With everyone having an opinion, there will always be some that are unpleasant and hurtful.Our job is to keep it small and treat people well."

'Bake Off' is back next month for its sixth series, and the pressure is on for the show to repeat its success, which has seen it consistently top the ratings, and move from BBC2 to the more prominent BBC1. Mel and Sue both credit judge Mary Berry for the show's success, with Mel adding that audiences are hungry for this kind of show, because "there's not enough kindness around. It's so arch out there. It's all uber irony".

Sue adds, "Sometimes it’s ludicrous: watching someone make a 17-tower Victoria sponge in the shape of Douglas Carswell, you think, 'This show is insane.' But actually the intent is pure. It’s about craft and family.

'Great British Bake Off' is back on BBC1 in August.

Ballet Review: Natalia Osipova Wows at the Ardani 25 Dance Gala

2015-07-20-1437434487-249152-Ardani1.jpg



There is a reason why Natalia Osipova is the dancer everyone wants to see. And the star delivered on her box office draw for the Ardani 25 Dance Gala with performances full of her trademark visceral, emotional intensity blended with impressive technical excellence.

The star delivers, yes, but she is enabled by a programme of works that not just excite and challenge, but also by a cast of incredibly impressive male dancers.

The first piece, Zeitgeist, sees Natalia partnered with Edward Watson for a dark, sensual performance to a haunting violin concerto from Philip Glass. The performance was a World Premiere and my god, it delivers.

2015-07-20-1437434691-7960155-Ardani2.jpg



Natalia's performance of an intense and dangerous femme fatale was just infused with sensuality. Her pas-de-deux with Edward Watson took my breath away. The choreography from Alastair Marriott is exciting and fresh with demanding leaps and turns mixed in with contemporary dance but the story of a woman playing, manipulating those around her never dropped for a second.

The piece was so deliciously dangerous that it was a smart move to follow such intensity with the joyful, playful Tristesse. Choreographed by dancer Marcelo Gomes, who also performs, it's a bright, witty showcase for its four male dancers - Marcelo, Joaquín de Luz, Friedmann Vogel and Denis Matvienko.

The final piece in this programme of works, Facada, was the most intriguing. Full of light and shade, joy and death.

2015-07-20-1437434630-2103953-Ardani4.jpg



Natalia Osipova returns, this time as a bride anticipating the imminent arrival of her soon-to-be husband, played by Ivan Vasiliev. But the groom does a runner and what starts off as a light-hearted piece descends into an explosive and murderous drama as the jilted bride tracks down and kills the man who left her standing.

The music is a passionate Portuguese fado, played live by composer Frank Moon, and it's a terrific musical composition that brings out all the hope and joy of a bride on her wedding day only for the tone to plummet dramatically into an intense score with agitated strings and thundering drum beats.

Natalia and Ivan are both superb. Ivan's grace and athleticism impress and make for an interesting comparison with his partner - how great to see the female role with the responsibility for the power and violence.

2015-07-20-1437434569-4299336-Ardani3.jpg



The choreography from Arthur Pita is angry and animalistic as much as it is technically demanding and even graceful. And he adapted the piece especially for the two dancers and, wow, do they deliver.

My enduring memory of the Ardani 25 Gala will be Natalia Osipova dancing, ferocious and primal, on the grave of the husband-to-be she murdered. A Fury whose vengeance is complete. Stunning, terrifying, iconic.

And such a memory is only appropriate for what is an impressive evening of works, superb choreography and exciting musical compositions that have been brought together for the Ardani 25 Dance Gala. If only all Gala evenings could be like this.

'EastEnders': Ben Mitchell And Paul Coker's Gay Sex Scene In Funeral Parlour Attracts Ofcom Complaints

EastEnders’ could be facing an Ofcom investigation, after an implied gay sex scene attracted complaints from viewers.

READ MORE:


A scene that showed characters Ben Mitchell and Paul Coker getting intimate in a funeral parlour sparked 48 complaints, is now being assessed by the media regulator.

It saw the pair kissing next to an open coffin, before later getting dressed when they were interrupted.

A BBC spokesperson told Digital Spy: "The millions of regular ‘EastEnders’ fans who tune in each week know and expect dramatic storylines.

"We are always mindful of our time slot in which we are shown and the scenes in question were implied and not explicit."


An Ofcom spokesperson added: “We will assess these complaints before deciding whether to investigate or not."

It is not the first time the storyline between the two has been in the headlines.

After Ben and Paul shared their first kiss last month, homophobic trolls launched a tirade of disgusting abuse on Twitter, forcing one of the actors to speak out.

Harry Reid, who plays Ben, took to Instagram to challenge the bigots, posting a picture of Ronnie Kray - who, previous reports suggest, was bisexual - alongside the caption: “It's upsetting to read the negative tweets about the gay kiss in last night's episode of @bbceastenders.

"I only want to ask one question. Would you of called Ronnie Kray disgusting? #whatwouldronniesay [sic].

"Note: I'm not biting, it just needed pointing out ;)," he added.

The storyline between Ben and Paul is set cause complications, as the young Mitchell is currently in a relationship with Abi Branning.

The character was previously openly gay before he was sent to prison for murdering Heather Trott.

Since being released, he has claimed to be straight, but has secretly been harbouring desires for other men, and he's even kissed his adoptive brother Jay.

Jamelia has signed up for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, declining the chance to appear on ‘I’m a Celebrity’, according to reports.

The ‘Loose Women’ panellist was previously thought to have agreed to a stint in the jungle. However, it's claimed she’ll be getting her dancing shoes on instead.

A source told The Sun: “Jamelia is going to be a hot favourite right from the start. She’s stunning, has long legs and is experienced with dance routines because of her pop past.

“We expect her to be at the standard of Pixie Lott, who did really well last year.”


One of her pals added that the singer’s a fan of both shows, but opting for ‘Strictly’ instead would mean she can still star on the ITV lunchtime show.

“Jamelia’s been wanted by both shows for a number of years but ‘Strictly’ makes more sense to her because it will allow her to continue being a mum and to work on ‘Loose Women’,” the friend states.

This year’s series of ‘Strictly’ is still months away, but it’s believed that plenty of stars have rushed to sign up.

Other celebs tipped to hit the dancefloor include ‘Emmerdale’ actress Natalie Anderson, Michelle Heaton and Peter Andre.

The couple - who have 18-month-old daughter Amelia together - originally planned to tie the knot next year, but decided to bring the wedding forward due to Peter’s father’s ill health.

Peter and medical student Emily - who have a 16-year age gap - first confirmed reports that they were dating in 2012, before announcing their engagement last year.

Miley Cyrus never fails to impress at the Video Music Awards, and for 2015 the good people at MTV have decided to put the ‘Bangerz’ star in charge of proceedings.

Yup, she’s hosting.

This year’s MTV VMAs will take place on 30 August, and Miley’s revealed that she’ll be presenting the ceremony.

The ‘Wrecking Ball’ creator announced the news on her Instagram account, with a typically understated post:

Fuck yeah VMAs!!!!! #VMAs on @MTV Aug 30 at 9pm

Miley’s VMAs antics often hit headlines, and last year, she took the chance to shine a light on youth homelessness, by taking Jesse Helt - who was homeless - to the bash, and sending him on stage to accept her Video Of The Year accolade.

In 2013, the star gave one of the event’s most-talked about performances ever, twerking on stage with Robin Thicke, and performing some ummm, interesting dance moves with a foam finger.

The MTV VMAs will take place on 30 August, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

25 Years Ago Today... 'Stars In Their Eyes' Showed Off Their Talents For The First Time On British TV

It is 25 years ago today that we watched the first-ever episode of 'Stars in their Eyes'.

One of Britain's most successful ever talent shows, it ran for sixteen years, during which hundreds of contestants did their best - costume, wig, vocals - to impersonate the real stars of showbusiness, introducing themselves with "Tonight, I'm going to be..."

Guess who were the most impersonated stars - see below...

It proved irresistible Saturday night entertainment, with around 13 million viewers tuning in for the grand live final of each series. And it scooped most popular entertainment show four times in all at the National Television Awards.

What is not to love?


Original host was Leslie Crowther, with Matthew Kelly taking over after two years, and staying until 2005, when Cat Deeley took over for the remaining shows.

ITV had a game go at reviving the format last year, with Harry Hill hosting, but the new series only lasted a month, due to poor ratings. However, as last night's debut of 'Lookalikes' proved, the novelty of playing at being an A-lister has by no means worn off.

Most Popular Stars For Impersonation on 'Stars in their Eyes' Were... and who do you think is the most convincing of this talented bunch?

Dolly Parton:






Elvis Presley:






Cher (here taken on by a game Carol Vorderman):






George Michael:






Celine Dion:






Kylie:
