  • Gordon Ramsay to front US MasterChef for Fox TV

    SPL57228_006

    Gordon Ramsay is taking another top British show to the US – the BBC’s long-running series, MasterChef.

    The celebrity chef will star in and co-produce the American version of the show – which first aired in the UK in 1990 – on Fox TV.

    “[It's] a huge reality format that works great in other countries, plus Gordon Ramsay guarantees success,” said Mike Darnell, president of alternative entertainment at Fox.

    “Gordon is like our CSI.”

    The executive producer of the show, Howard T Owens, added: “This is a huge, nationwide search for the best amateur chef in America.

    “It’s about people who are lawyers, construction workers and stay-at-home mums, but whose real passion is to make great food.

    “This is their shot to prove they have what it takes.”

    An Australian edition of the show has already been very successful – the series finale was one of the country’s most-watched programmes in a decade, when it aired earlier this year.

    MasterChef is the third series that Ramsay will front in the US for Fox TV.

    He also appears in Hell’s Kitchens and Kitchen Nightmares.

  • Susan Boyle on X Factor

    British singing sensation Susan Boyle came to the US last month to make an appearance and to perform on the finale of America’s Got Talent. Now, it has been announced that the singer will be returning to the man that made her an international star, Simon Cowell. Susan has reportedly been selected to sing on X Factor in November. Of course, it’s all properly timed as her appearance will tie in with her new album release. According to an inside source “It makes perfect sense and will create a big buzz. There are two shows to fill on Saturday and Sunday nights now, so they’re also planning guest appearances from previous winners and runners-up as well as celebrity guests.”

  • Trinny and Susannah show they know breast in US TV debut

    Serial fashion gropers Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine had their hands full – literally – as they made their US debut last night with the premiere of Making Over America With Trinny And Susannah.

    The new six-part series started in typical fashion with both hosts having a good squeeze of their first makeover candidate – a chubby cheerleading coach called Jennifer.

    “I can’t get over how big your boobs are – we had no idea,” Woodall told the red-faced single-mum.

    Using both hands the pair proceeded to weigh up Jennifer’s ample assets.

    “I think you wear C-cup bras and these are double-Ds,” said Constantine.

    Each episode of the series will feature the pair being dropped into a different US town and being handed a dossier on their chosen target.

    Constantine said: “In Jennifer’s case, she was unhappy with her stomach, so she decided to shroud her entire body, when in fact she had an amazing pair of t**s, great legs, fantastic butt and a very pretty face.

    “What a waste of a gorgeous woman.”

    The hour-long show culminated with a party for Jennifer’s new look attended by family and friends – and one last opportunity for a bottom squeeze.

  • Jamie Oliver ’spends $120,000′ on travelling to see family

    Chef Jamie Oliver reportedly spent $120,000 flying between London and the US to see his family while filming his TV show.

    Oliver, 33, was making a six-part series in America called Jamie’s American Road Trip.

    However, he reportedly promised wife Jools he would never spend more than six days away from her and their daughters Poppy Honey, seven, Daisy Boo, five, and Petal Blossom, two months.

    The series took eight months to film, starting in November and ending in early June. He took 12 $10,000 flights between the US and the UK during the show, which will be screened next year.

    A source said: “Jamie wants to raise his profile in the US in a similar way to Gordon Ramsay. He was a little torn, though, because he is such a devoted family man. He was hurt by the criticism that he was so hungry for success that he was prepared to risk his family life.”

  • Sting’s Daughter Suffers Head Injury

    Sting’s 18-year old daughter, musician Coco Summer, is in the hospital recovering from a fractured skull following a nasty spill. The aspiring singer was dining at a restaurant in Los Angeles when she complained about not feeling very well. When she stood up, Coco fell and hit her head hard. Sting, who happened to be in the US, rushed to be at her bedside while her mother Trudie Styler flew in from the UK. It’s being said that it’s a “serious injury and Coco is under constant surveillance” but Coco is said to be doing well and in good spirits. I wish her a speedy recovery.
