That Dappy from N-Dubz is the popstar a clutch of surveyed British people would like to see as the new Prime Minister... The list goes thusly: "1. Dappy from N-Dubz // 2: Cheryl Cole // 3: Simon Cowell // 4: Morrissey // 5: Paul McCartney // 6: Dizzee Rascal// 7: Damon Albarn// 8: Noel Gallagher// 9: Lily Allen // 10: Chris Martin... That's quite sane, apart from the inclusion Cheryl Cole, Lily Allen, Dizzee Rascal, Chris Martin... That Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes went to great lengths to put those persistent orientation rumours to bed: "Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes performed a song and dance number at last night's A Fine Romance benefit which featured Katie singing 'Whatever Lola Wants' while Tom pretended to be a coy love interest uninterested in her advances"... Funny that... We're not sure what's more unnatural, the singing or all they stilted squatting... That Tom Cruise requested to meet Slash before the latter performed with the Black Eyed Peas at the StaplesCentre recently: "a visitor was outside his dressing room door, his manager announced. Was it O.K. for Tom Cruise to come in and say hello? Slash, who recently released a solo album (Slash) but is still best known for his Guns N' Roses days, was taken aback. 'As in, Tom Cruise Tom Cruise?' he asked. Yep, the wide-eyed manager said. 'Um, yeah sure - tell him to come in.' And suddenly there was a beaming Mr. Cruise. His wife, Katie Holmes, lingered behind him. 'I'm a big fan, and I just really wanted to meet you,' Mr. Cruise said. Some awkward banter followed - neither man seemed to know whether to play the fan role or the celebrity one - and ended with a confession. 'I'm a little nervous to go onstage,' Slash said in a soft voice. Mr. Cruise tried to comfort him, saying the same thing happens on a movie set. 'That's good,' Mr. Cruise asserted. 'That means it will be a good performance.' With that, Mr. Cruise bid adieu, leaving Slash a bit discombobulated. 'That has to be one of the weirdest things that has happened to me in at least two weeks,' he said, adding that he couldn't believe how nice Mr. Cruise was. 'And he's not as short as everybody seems to think'"... The end... That Mel Gibson is trying to get back with the wife: "He's still in love with Robyn, he realises he made a huge mistake leaving her. Robyn is not only the mother of his seven children, she's been a major source of strength for Mel throughout his life. Without her around we're worried he'll fall to pieces"... That Courtney Love said informed Howard Stern that she's a love goddess "because I was never pretty. Pretty girls just lie there. Us girls who grew up a little more homely have to try a lot harder. That's why pretty girls never threaten me - it's like, yeah, you want to take me on? Take me on. Go for it"... How empowering... That Bono and his pulpit turned up to the premiere of The Lazarus Effect in New York, whileKelsey Grammer, Laura Linney, Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones's eyeliner and Christopher Walken's mullet rolled themselves up to 2010 Tony Awards Meet The Nominees Reception held at the Millennium Broadway Hotel...
