You think of little old ladies and vicars when it comes to cake competitions so trust Gordon Ramsay to come up with his own unique spin on the format.

He decided to judge a cake decorating competition on George Lopez‘s show last night by slamming the host’s effort onto his head before launching the rest at the crowd.

In the earlier interview, Gord talked about his plan for opening a British-themed pub in LA with his pal Becks.

Confirming it to Lopez, he said: ‘Yes, but I didn’t think anyone drank in Los Angeles.

‘The pub would be modern British, something cool and hip with good food and a great atmosphere, somewhere we can go and have fun.’

Can’t wait for that to open. Good British grub, nice beers and the possibility of having a bev with Gord and Becks!

Mariah Carey’s husband Nick Cannon has recently revealed that the world famous singer would very much like to be one of the new judges on American Idol.

The so-called Mr. Mariah Carey said: “You know what? She talks about it. She says, ‘I would love to do that.’ She is one of the greatest singers of our time; she would be great. I don’t know if she has enough time, though, but if they could work with her schedule, I know she would love to do ‘Idol’”

Cannon, who hosts America’s Got Talent alongside Brit judges Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne, might be able to pull some strings for Carey due to the fact that his boss is former influential American Idol judge Simon Cowell, who continues as executive producer of AGT.

To The Hollywood Reporter, Cannon said: “Simon Cowell was the anchor of the show. And when he stepped out, it’s like, now what? But as long as Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson stick around, I’m watching.”

Considering her reported mental instability, tremendous popularity, and extensive industry experience, I say Mariah is the perfect person to be the new Paula.

Paris Hilton‘s look was sort of familiar at her fragrance launch last night, but her Monroe getup wasn’t half as eye-catching as her cleavage!

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, who was there with fellow judge Piers Morgan, couldn’t resist having a right old look.

Before the event my pal Paris tweeted: ‘At home getting ready for my Tease fragrance launch event. Getting dressed up as my Idol and Favorite Icon Marilyn. Loves it!’

And she certainly went the whole hog in a white dress, platinum curled hair, diamonds and a fur shrug.

Tease is Paris’s TENTH fragrance – that’s a whole lot of people that want eau de Hilton!

When Emma Watson shockingly revealed her new shorter-than-short haircut a few days ago by posting a photo of her trimmed locks on Facebook (pictured left), the implication of the message included along with the head shot was that Watson got the cut to get real… not to get a job. For instance, on her Facebook page, the Harry Potter star wrote: “Cut my hair off a few days ago … Feels incredible. I love it. I’ve wanted to do this for years and years; it’s the most liberating thing ever. Hope you like.”

However, sources are now reporting that in addition to (or instead of) “liberating” the British actress, the hair hacking was executed to make Watson look more like the character Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, for Watson’s alleged audition for the forthcoming Hollywood film. To The Sun, an industry insider said: “Emma has auditioned with director David Fincher and cut her hair to look the part.” In the story, originally written by Stieg Larsson, the character is depicted as goth, bisexual, dangerous, and as having spikey hair.

If the rumours are true, Watson, who was recently dropped as the face of Burberry, is reportedly competing with nearly every young A-list actress for the role, including Ellen Page, Natalie Portman, Carey Mulligan, and Kristen Stewart. Furthermore, whoever wins the part of Lisbeth Salander is likely to be contracted to co-star with Daniel Craig in two additional sequel films.

Given the high stakes and fierce competition, Emma’s bold decision to cut her long flowing tresses is certainly comprehendible. Brave choice Emma! Hold nothing back. Good luck!

Could this possibly be super-hot popstrel Katy Perry?

Yup, the I Kissed a Girl singer geeked up for her turn at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, and debuted her new look to fiance Russell Brand.

Beneath the braces, glasses polo neck and ankle socks is the woman who sings about wearing Daisy Dukes during the California summer, but Russ doesn’t seem to mind that she went in a radical new direction for the ceremony.

He didn’t appear on stage with her while she was presenting but he took the photo backstage and tweeted the photo, writing: ‘The real winner of the Teen Choice awards is… I AM! I won a fantastic new bride.’

Awwww. whatever Katy’s doing for the former hellraiser – keep doing it! We like this new softie version of Russell!

Mia Farrow testified in the war crimes trial against Charles Taylor in The Hague this week and the actress’s account of the night Naomi Campbell allegedly received blood diamonds makes the former super-model look like… well, a super-liar.

Last week, Campbell testified that “dirty-looking stones” were delivered to her after a dinner party in South Africa in 1997 and that she did not know who sent them. The British diva also claimed that the morning after she received the rough diamonds, she discussed the gift with Farrow and Carole White, Campbell’s agent at the time, and that it was one of these women who suggested that the diamonds came from Taylor.

On the stand, Farrow told a different story when she said: “[The next morning] I remember that the children and I were having breakfast and it was at a long table and I was at the table, I think with Quincy Jones, and what I remember is Naomi Campbell joined us at the table but before she even sat down she recounted an event of that evening and she said that in the night she had been awakened, some men had knocked at the door and they had been sent by Charles Taylor and they had given her a huge diamond and she intended to give the diamond to Nelson Mandela’s children’s charities.”

While Campbell denied she knew the diamonds were sent by Taylor, Farrow and White both say the opposite is true and that Campbell was even boastful about Taylor’s expensive gift. Furthermore, Farrow also maintains that Campbell, at the time, was reportedly given one “huge diamond” instead of multiple small stones.

So it is Mia against Naomi in a case of she said, she said. I must admit it is difficult to believe that a former fashion icon could receive one or more diamonds and not have a clue as to where they came from. Is it just me or does something (or someone whose name sounds like “Fake-omi”) seem bloody deceiving?

Rumours are swirling that Cheryl Tweedy is planning to stay in LA on a semi-permanent basis.

She’s been in town for the past ten days and now there are whispers that she’s planning on splitting her time between London and LaLa, once X- Factor has finished filming.

And one big reason she’s keen to stick around is dancer Derek Hough, who has been a near-constant presence in the Girls Aloud singer’s life recently. According to the News of the World their parents are even thought to be flying in to meet them!

They reckon she’s in good spirits and recovering well from her bout of malaria, even though her divorce is close to being finalised.

A source told the paper: “Ashley is not in her thoughts because she’s not at home surrounded by memories of their time together.”

She’s going from strength to strength.

Meanwhile A. Hole (as people have been calling him) has been getting a frosty reception in England at the start of the Premier League, being booed today by Man Utd fans at the Charity Shield.

Oh dear – Ashley who eh?

I’d call this the ultimate class divide…While Jason Statham‘s ex – down-market model, Kelly Brook has resorted to posing naked to promote Reebok EasyTone trainers, his current squeeze – up-and-coming A-lister Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is set to replace Harry Potter star Emma Watson as the new face of Burberry.

The decision to drop Watson for the Transformers actress has come as a bit of a surprise as Burberry’s sales were boosted during Emma’s year-long stint.

My fashion spy said: “Emma was a huge success. Everyone expected her to be used again. But it seems Rosie’s career is about to explode”

Rosie is best known as a Victoria’s Secret model, and will unveil Burberry’s autumn and winter collections later this year.

It seems Transporter hunk Jas’ hit on the right girl!
