Lady Gaga V Amy Winehouse

BIG news today that pop phenomenon and bonkers star Lady Gaga is in top-secret talks to play Amy Winehouse in a blockbuster film about the tragic singer's death.
How does everyone feel about that?
A Hollywood insider told me: "Gaga worshipped Amy and would love to transform herself into her idol on the big screen.
"She'd be spot-on performing Amy's songs and has got the right look and bolshy attitude."

After hearing this I did some digging and found out Lady G's been itching to get into movies. Her agent's been bombarded with film scripts, but Gaga didn't think any were suitable to launch her career as an actress.
It's no secret that Hollywood movie bigwigs are keen to rush out a movie based on Amy's life and now they think Gaga's the perfect lead star.

Gaga's dipped in and out of acting appearing in The Sopranos, under her real name Stefani Germonatta.
Her mates reckon she "always dreamt of being an actress before she got into music."

Anyway, besides all that can Gaga pull of wayward London bruiser La Wino? That is the question.
Sounds like she can.
For starters she can sing, has an eclectic taste in fashion, has a appetite for partying, like to cause drama and media speculation, isn't afraid to say what's on her mind and apparently can do a pretty dapper London accent.
She's a big fan of Guy Ritchie movies, such as Snatch and RocknRolla and can speak perfect Cockney.

Bingo.
Move aside Charlize Theron, Sienna Miller and Kiera Knightley (all tipped for the part), we've found our girl.

But who will play ex hubby Blake?

Kerry Katona strikes again

Only fame leach Kerry Katona could turn something as heartbreaking as Amy Winehouse dying into a possible moment to grab attention.
Kerry's more than happy to constantly let the world know she's had it tough, she battled against all odds and is still here to tell her sorry tale.

However, she's taken the proverbial biscuit this time.
No not a disco biscuit, although she's probably necked that with a bag of Columbian marching powder too.


I bumped into her manager Max Clifford at a party this week who told me: "As soon as Amy died Kerry phoned me up sobbing 'that could have been me'. She was distraught. She knows how lucky she is to turn her life around."

He's a shred business man Max, from the Simon Cowell school of training. Never one to miss a showbiz opportunity.
I'm surprised they didn't dye Kerry's hair black, lob it into a beehive and make get her to do a tribute act.
If she turns up in a magazine shoot  next week styled/ dressed as Amy talking about their similarities and struggles it's going to be a very bleak day in showbiz.

I won't know wether to laugh, cringe or cry.

Baftas: The Aftermath. Drunk and disorderly. Not me (this time).

So I chatted to Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding, who got heroically stuck into the free plonk, unlike her relatively sober band mate Kimberley Walsh.
After getting engaged, on NYE, in the Maldives, to her fella of three years Tom, Sarah was quick to put an end to the Girls Aloud rift rumours.
(Just to get you up to speed... the band are on a 'break', rumours and evidence suggest Nadine and Cheryl hate each other, Nadine never attends girlie Girls Aloud bonding session, or her bandmate’s birthdays, or anything similar. The others stick together like orphan lambs. Smells a bit fishy, hey?)


Anyway Sarah told me, insistently, Nadine Coyle will definitely be at her wedding. Along with Chezza, Nicola and Kimberley. Hmmm.

Sarah also claimed she was dying her hair brown the morning after the Baftas saying, "I'll be the same colour as you tomorrow, dark brown."
Haven't seen any pictures of her yet.

However, Sarah was completely blotto'ed and probably would've believed Jimmy Hendrix had risen from death if I’d put on a convincing enough face.
I like Harding. A lot. But she was more wasted at the Baftas than I’ve seen her for ages.

I don't think she'd appreciate the Amy Winehouse references which were being mutter around the room,.

Meanwhile Kimberley had been presenting live on the red carpet for the E! channel, greeting A-list stars as they arrived. She admitted she'd never been so nervous.

Apparently half way through one of the interviews she asked to edit the interview and start again, forgetting it was live. Eeek.
