All I Know Is That There Were Rumours...

That Niamh Farrell, AKA the lead singer from Ham Sandwich who unexpectedly popped a surprise sprogling last year (she went into hospital with a bad case of "cramps" and left with a baby) has now been accused of "stealing €14k in cash" from BT2... According to The Herald, she "is alleged to have taken small amounts of money ranging from €50 to €250 on a number of dates over a 15-month period"... That Fair City scriptwriters should use her as a case study... That Eddie Murphy will play The Riddler in the next installment of The Batman franchise... I, for one, have no desire to see Eddie squeezed into a questionable green spandex jumpsuit... That Shia LaBeouf will play Robin... That there's an unfortunate bang of JoelSchumacher's off the whole affair... That James Corden is backing up his announcement that he intends to woo Alexandra Burke by presenting the X Factor winner with a Cartier watch worth 4 grand... A source said: "Alexandra is massively flattered and overwhelmed. A gift like that is hard to ignore"... A bit like Corden's head... That JeffBuckley's rendition of Hallelujah is giving Alexandra's version a run for it's money in the charts... That the song's writer, Leonard Cohen - who more than deserves the additional royalties given his management issues - is also in the running for the Christmas number 1 spot... That Fiona Phillips parked her arse on the GMTV sofa for the final time this morning... That Girls Aloud were there to mark the occasion, while tributes flew in from "The Beckhams, Boyzone, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, James Blunt, Kate Winslet, David Cameron, the Strictly Come Dancing judges, TakeThat, Frank Lampard, Donny Osmond, David Walliams and Matt Lucas"... That Fiona's leaving gift was a Chelsea FC toaster... That Kate Garraway, Ben Shephard, Andrew Castle and new addition Emma Crosby (you might recognise her from Sky News) will front the show from January 5th... That a random source said: "Uri (Geller) is convinced the power of positive thought can lift us out of economic gloom. Him and Jacko recorded a spoken-word message and want to put it behind the track so it can penetrate people's subconscious"... That, of bringing Friends to the big screen, Jennifer Aniston said: "We know how much people want that, and we would of course do it if it's right. But I say do it way before we get to be geriatric Friends"... That, of Britney Spears appearing on the new season of American Idol, Briquette Head Cowell said: "I would love to see her mentor the contestants. If she doesn't want to do that, but wants to perform on the show - I would welcome that at any time"... That she'll opt for option B... That "a man has been arrested after he tried to grab Lindsay Lohan as she left a nightclub with girlfriend Samantha Ronson"... Before you start thinking "that's a case of extreme lesbianism", Daniel Patrick Combs has a history of stalking Lohan... That Sean 'Diddy' Combs said of those affected by the slumping economy: "Out of respect, I’ve been trying to dress less flashy. It’s one thing to be stylish; it’s another to be over-the-top. You gotta know when to hold back and not rub it in"... That Coleen Rooney said of her Christmas presents: "I know what Wayne is getting me. He is getting me a car - the new Bentley. It's such a lovely present. I'm so excited. I love the smell of a new car. I have asked for a name necklace. I've got one in gold but I wanted one in white gold too"... That PropertyLadder's Sarah Beeny said: "I'd rather they watch for the properties, but if they watch because of my boobs, that's fine. I have to say there have been a few shows when I've thought: 'Blimey, they look big.' In some they're actually bigger than my head"... That Kate Hudson said of her 4-year-old son: "Ryder is such a smart boy. He is really into music right now. He really loves Chuck Berry and The Beatles. He likes to dance to Chuck Berry. Earlier on I said as a joke, 'Who's your favourite Backstreet Boy, Ryder?’ And he goes, 'Well I like The Beach Boys'"... That, by "earlier on" she must've meant 1998...
