    SPL127690_020

    Comic Ricky Gervais has confirmed that his Office character David Brent will return on the US version of the show.

    Gervais, 48, revealed that the character will have a clash of personalities with Steve Carell’s character Michael Scott, who is the US series’ Brent equivalent.

    He told UK newspaper The Sun: “I think it would be funny for David Brent to walk into the US Office and hear them go: ‘Oh my God, there’s two of them’!

    “We don’t need to know about Brent’s back story – the English Office exists in a cocoon and in the DVD. Michael Scott could just bump into Brent, who is a bloke from England.”

    He added: “I don’t think we’ll take any of the other UK characters over – we’ll probably leave it with just me because it’s just too complicated.”

  • Doctor Who in ‘ginger hair’ row

    Doctor Who’s latest time lord Matt Smith has upset viewers after he appeared to mock people with ginger hair.

    The 27-year-old has taken over the role from David Tennant, 38, and was seen for the first time in a TV special shown on New Year’s Day.

    He was seen at the end of the episode after regenerating from the body of Tennant. He checked his new body and said: “Still not ginger.”

    However, his comment upset parents, who said their red-haired kids could be picked on at school following the comments.

    One mum complained to the BBC and said: “I think it is totally inappropriate for the Doctor to make fun of people with ginger hair – it is a programme children watch and I think it will encourage bullying.”

  • Boy George Wants to be on Big Brother

    Boy George is begging the judge to alter his probation terms so he can appear on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK and get that fat check for $320,000. Talk about being desperate. The singer was in jail from January 2009 to may 2009 for false imprisonment and assault of a male escort back n 2007. He was released on probation if he agreed to approved work where a probation officer can visit him. His appearance on the reality show would undoubtedly be a breach to the terms. Channel 4 wants him bad though, with their spokesperson saying “We respect what the Probation Service has said but if George is free, we’d love to have him.”

  • Courteney Cox speaks about possibility of Jennifer Aniston joining her on Cougar Town

    Courteney Cox has spoken about the possibility of pal Jennifer Aniston making an appearance in her new show Cougar Town.

    The 45-year-old actress is starring in the new ABC TV series, which follows a woman in her 40s dating younger men. Aniston, 40, is currently starring in a movie called Pumas, which tells the story of two women in their 30s looking for men.

    Talking about the plot similarities, Cox said: “I did know about her movie. I’m not sure exactly what the storyline is other than it’s probably a woman. And I guess pumas are in their 30s. Isn’t that right? Pumas are in their 30s? Jaguars are in their 50s, and sabretooths go right into the 60s.”

    She also talked about a possible role for Aniston on her show: “She’s a good friend and I know she loves the show. I’m not going to say she is [going to do it] because I don’t know. [But if Bill Lawrence] writes her a character, I’m sure she’ll be glad to do it.”

  • Paris Hilton’s mum Kathy has denied claims that she is related to Jon Gosselin’s latest girlfriend Kate Major

    Paris Hilton’s mum Kathy has denied claims that she is related to Jon Gosselin’s latest girlfriend Kate Major.

    Kathy was reportedly angered at reports that Kate had told people in her early reporting career that Kathy was her aunt and could get information about Paris Hilton.

    Kathy said: “This is news to me. I have no idea who this woman is, but I will be looking into it because if she was using our name that is very dishonest.

    “My parents divorced when I was very young and I have several half brothers and sisters. I’m not in touch with them all but her name is not familiar. “I will be going through my list because I certainly don’t remember speaking with any Kate Major.”

    Kathy’s daughter also said she had no knowledge that Kate was related to her family.

  • Jon and Kate Gosselin may have filed in Montgomery for its closed-divorce rule

    Jon and Kate Gosselin may have filed their initial divorce papers in a Pennsylvania county to obtain a blanket on their contents.

    The divorcing stars of the reality show about parenting and marriage don’t live in Montgomery County. But the county has an unusual rule that automatically puts divorce papers under seal.

    Richard Hodgson, the county’s president judge, said, “I think it was a feeling that those kinds of allegations shouldn’t be available to the public just to trash somebody and put it all over the street.”

    The Gosselins’ home, however, is in the state of Pennsylvania. They plan to spend alternating time there with their twins and sextuplets. The show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, was put on hiatus until August by the TLC network, which claimed it wanted to support the family through its transition.

    In Los Angeles, celebrity divorces are usually a matter of public record. But couples can opt to have their case heard by a private arbitrator and public courts will enable partial blanketing. The Montgomery County rule is one that dates back to the time before no-fault divorce.

  • Julia Roberts tears up then cracks up as she is shown pic from before she hit the big time.

    Julia Roberts cracked up as she was shown a picture from an interview before she found fame.

    The actress was in tears as she began the latest interview but by the end, was in stitches.

    She was talking about carrying on the late Paul Newman’s children’s project Hole in the Wall.

    Following a montage of pictures, including some of Newman himself, she had to wipe the tears from her cheeks.

    Roberts, who first started working with Newman in the summer camps 13 years ago, said he was a “giant human being”.

    The camps bring joy to the lives of thousands of children with life-threatening diseases.

    “I think being blessed to be the mother of three healthy children, it definitely makes me glad that I have had the experience that I’ve had with the Hole in the Wall campaign, that I can share with my kids… that which everyday we take for granted, our good health,” she said.

    Host Harry Smith then recalled their first interview, around 20 years ago following the release of Roberts’ early hit Mystic Pizza – and showed a picture of the two back then.

    “Look at our collective hair,” Roberts said as she cracked up laughing, commenting on her 80s hairstyle and balding Smith’s slightly fuller head. “We both had three times as much!”

    Wentworth added to British magazine Company: “My classmates were in medical or law school, but no one wanted to talk medicine or law; they all wanted to talk about how great Sarah Michelle Gellar was!”

  • Just who is Susan Boyle

    Reality TV shows are all over the place from American Idol to Dancing with the Stars there is so much of it that even Octomom Nadya is planning to having her own reality TV show. But then once in a while there is some magic created from a place you would least expect it come from.

    Susan Boyle, a Scottish woman aged 48 has overnight become the darling and sensation of the singing world. Susan Boyle appeared on a reality TV show named “Britains Got Talent,” hosted by Simon Cowell. She sang the song “I Dream A Dream” and when she finished singing the entire crowd along with the judge just couldn’t stop applauding in awe of her singing talent.

    Her popularity is such that her singing video from that show has received 5.9 million hit since the time it was posted last Saturday on April 11. It is all what dreams are about right now I would forget that Angelina Jolie has once again been voted as the most beautiful woman in Hollywood.

    This story is fantastic and I just love it when unknown quantities or rather people with no powerful background just make it big all of a sudden that shows this world is equal and offers everyone with a dream can say that “I can do it.”
