Dancing on Ice judge Jason Gardiner has been mugged at knifepoint in London.

The star was cornered by two youths in Stockwell, South London who threatened him with a knife and ordered him to hand over his iPhone before running off.

Taking to Twitter he said he was unharmed but left shaken by the incident: "Tonight I was mugged by two hooded black youths in Stockwell who held a knife to my throat and threatened to kill me all for an iPhone!!

"Apart from being shaken I'm fine! I'm saddened more than anything and disgusted with where our society is heading (sic)."
Despite his ordeal, the TV judge has come under fire on Twitter for describing the muggers as 'black'.

One tweeted: "Not really necessary to drop in the fact they were black".

Jason was quick to respond, saying: "Yes it is. It's not racist it's a vital fact in case anyone can help and report them to the police!"

Another wrote: "Poor bloke. I hope none of you ever get mugged. He doesn't deserve this abuse, and the emphasis on the ethnicity of the muggers is an irrelevance."

She's previously tried her hand at modelling, TV presenting and writing, but up until now Peaches Geldof hasn't really found her niche.

However that all may be about to change as the 22-year-old is reported to be following in her rock star dad Sir Bob's footsteps by making a move into music.
Peaches is reported by The Sun to have been singing on some tracks for LA band The Grand Marquee over the weekend.

The paper quoted a source as saying: "She's been taking advice from her dad. But she can't hold a note to save her life."

We will reserve our own judgement until we hear the songs in question, but you can vote here...

Would you buy Peaches' records?

Hell yeah, she's awesome!Only if they came with a free £50 note.Vote

What do you reckon? Will Peaches make it as a rock star? Comment below...

There are many perks to being a celeb. The money, the parties, the adoration, the free spray tans... but there are times when even the most fame-hungry Z-listers would rather go about their business unrecognised.

Like when you've had one too many sherries and have lost the ability to use your legs. Or maybe not.

But who is that celeb lady making herself at home in the middle of the road? Find out over the jump...
Stand up (well she would if she could) Katie Waissel.

Big Pictures

Last year's X Factor reject finalist was papped getting acquainted with a central London road after a girlie night out on the lash at the Sanctum Hotel.

And despite a gallant effort from one of her girlfriends, the lady was not for moving.

She was, however, up for striking a few poses or ten.

Not that she's attention seeking or anything.

We're used to her singing about kissing girls and looking like the contents of a bubblegum factory exploded on her, but it seems one of our fave American popstars has swapped colourful leotards for cream twin sets in her new video.

Just who is this glamourous granny? Find out over the jump...
Russell Brand is given a taste of what he's got to look forward to as Katy Perry becomes an old lady in her video for new single The One That Got Away.

Katy is almost unrecognisable as she dons prosthetics and a grey wig for the new promo, which sees an old Katy reminiscing about a love she lost, flashing back to her frolicking around with a strapping young lad.

It all goes a bit belly-up though when she splashes red paint over one of her boyf's paintings and he storms out. And just when you think the pair are going to make up, he drives his car over the edge of a cliff. Very dramatic.

Watch the full video for The One That Got Away below...

Hold the front page. Lady Gaga in normal-looking shocker!

That's right, she may have performed as a decapitated corpse on The X Factor, but Gaga looks like she's toning it all down off stage as it emerges she's fired her creative director.
The singer, who has been pictured in three very demure looking outfits during her stay in London, has parted ways with her longtime creative director and choreographer Laurieann Gibson after things allegedly turned sour between the pair.

Laurieann, who has directed many of Gaga's videos, had been Gaga's right hand woman, having worked with the star right from the start.

However, speculation that the pair had fallen out was rife when Gaga announced she was directing the video for her new single Marry The Night herself and was working on the choreography with one of Laurieann's former assistants.

A source told The Mirror: "Things turned sour in recent months. Friction was mounting between the pair, so Gaga decided to call it a day."

A spokesperson for Lady Gaga has since confirmed that Laurieann is no longer working with the singer.

Meanwhile Gaga has been busy making pals with X Factor's Kitty Brucknell after she stormed the stage to comfort the eliminated contestant last night.

Rex

Kitty told ITV's Daybreak: "We chatted for an hour, she gave me the biggest pep talk ever.

"I was so emotional, but she was emotional too! It made me feel better because I cry all the time and was worried I was a psycho, but Lady Gaga does it too."

Maybe it's just the start of a blossoming relationship.

It's been a busy time since I last had a chance on Thursday to update my blog - a busy, but an exciting and exhilarating time.

The days have passed in a melee of press interviews, practice sessions and preparations for the big show on Saturday. I have even had a couple of photo shoots for the glossy, celebrity magazines so I hope you'll have as much fun seeing the photos as I had during the shoot.
Saturday night was a real high. Great dancing and great scores for Harry and Aliona - and don't they deserve their place at the top of the scoreboard? They are just so fantastic on the floor, the rest of us just look on in admiration.

Chelsee and Pasha's foxtrot was elegant, graceful, gorgeous and sophisticated and it earned them a well deserved second place, only one point behind Harry and Aliona. Holly and Brendan shared third place with Jason and Kristina. Once again they bring that special starry something to the evening.

It fell to me to bring the show to an end with one of my favourite songs I Am What I Am from the hit show - La Cage Aux Folles. Well, I was what I was and I had the greatest time dancing the American smooth with Flavia, and I think I did pretty well all things considered. Did you like the quick change? I have never been in and out of my clothes quicker! A standing ovation thrilled me to bits. The audience loved it, I loved it and I hope you loved it too.

Len dubbed me 'the giant Ferrero Roche' and followed it up with a 'well done'. I took Alesha to a 'fun Place' and Bruno thought I 'couldn't wait to get out of the closet'! A single 'immortal' from Craig crowned my night.

Did you like the video before the dance with multiple me's coming out of the woods to serenade the fabulous Flavia? We had some real fun and laughs doing that with the BBC crew up in the beautiful hills of my home in Wales.

Sunday brought us together for the results show and we had to say good bye to the big man with the big heart. Audley and Natalie bowed out with their usual grace. We will all be sad to see them go, but that's the way the show goes and sooner or later we will all go except for the wonderful winner of this year's show.

Now I have a very busy week ahead of me. The Wembley show looks like being a true extravaganza. There are extra practice sessions built into the schedule. In between rehearsals there are more interviews and photo shoots to keep me busy. Whatever you do, don't miss Saturday's show - it will be something special and you'll see things you never thought you'd see and I can promise you, you'll never see again! Intrigued? Tune in and watch!

More from me on Thursday about how the week has gone.

Thanks again for all your wonderful messages and the encouragement you send. It means so much to me.

If you are one of those who have sent me a message I must ask for your patience. Usually I deal with them all promptly and reply straight away, but the BBC have sent all the messages to my home and because this week is so busy I have to stay in London so I won't be able to deal with the post until I get home again next Monday.

Just one special mention - thank you to young James in Stockport for his drawing of Flavia and I getting 10 points from each of the judges and thanks to Madeleine and Violet Karczewski for her drawing and her kind words. They are both up on the fridge!

Thanks for being there and keep dancing!

Another day, another of Kerry Katona's ex-boyfriends tells all.

The latest charmer to reveal details of what it's like to date a celeb is builder Stuart Nuttall, who, er... 'fell' for Kezza on the internet.

After two months of dating the reality star, Stuart's single again (he dumped her by text) and spilling the beans.
Blabbing to Reveal magazine, Stuart said he thought Kerry was "great fun and really bubbly"... but she turned out to be a "bitter disappointment".

Their first date, for instance, was in a Warrington pub.

"What a dive, what a rough pub," the 39-year-old said. "She said her mum had been taking her there since she was 16.

"It was like something out of a horror movie. We sat in the bar along with one old woman and her Labrador dog. One bloke had stripped down to his boxers and was lying on the pool table."

Nuttall goes on to reveal that whenever he saw Kerry drink "she would cane it". Judging by the way he's explained her local boozer, we can hardly blame her.

It wasn't just the pub dates that lacked romance though. Stuart recalls lying in bed waiting for Kerry to surprise him with something suitably sexy but was horrified to see her wearing Miss Piggy pyjamas.

He explained, "I remember thinking, 'What the f*** have you got on?'"

Stuart's parting shot was this little piece of advice, "I would say to anybody who's thinking of dating her, 'Don't bother', unless you want to stay in with her mum and have your life ripped apart."

After Mark Croft, Dan Foden and this guy, it strikes us it's Kerry that needs the advice - stay away from money-grabbing, blabber-mouths.

What do you think - was Stuart just cashing in? Leave your comments below...
