Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Peter Andre let his hair down on Tuesday night enjoying the famous London nightlife when he went for dinner at a London restaurant, with pals Chantelle Houghton and pregnant Nicola McLean, before visiting the Funky Buddha Club in Mayfair.

Former Celebrity Big Brother winner, model and Paris Hilton lookalike Chantelle particularly seemed to be enjoying herself and was captured by a London photographer laughing loudly at recently single Peter Andre’s jokes – what a mysterious girl?!

The trio were joined by their manager Claire Powell at London’s May Fair Hotel for food in the venue’s top restaurant. Following the swanky meal at the London hotel, former I’m a Celebrity star Nicola, 28, and her footballer husband Tom Williams took the Aussie singer, 36, to nearby Funky Buddha on Berkley Street which is one of the top celebrity nightclubs in the area along with celeb haunts HeyJoClub, No 5 Cavendish Square and Vendome.

They were snapped for celebrity photos by London photographers for London papers leaving the night club at around 3am with DJ Sonique.

First Son of Coleen Rooney & Wayne Rooney – Kai Wayne Rooney – Born

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Coleen Rooney, wife of Premiership and England footballer Wayne Rooney, gave birth to a baby boy who was named Kai Wayne Rooney at 2:30pm on Wednesday.

The part-time television presenter and WAG’s son was born in Liverpool – the English city where she grew up – at an NHS hospital.

A spokesperson for the celebrity gossip magazine headline grabbing couple said: “Mother and baby are both absolutely fine. Wayne and Coleen are thrilled with the wonderful addition to their family life.”

It has been widely reported in the London papers that Wayne Rooney plans to have his son Kai’s name tattooed on him – a trend amongst celebrities.

It is thought that the youngster may have been named after Mayfair restaurant Kai Mayfair which is one of the best London restaurants for Chinese food.

Bookies have already offered odds on whether Kai will follow in his father’s footsteps and make the Championship League but so far the best offer is 66-1. No doubt odds would be shorter if it was a question of playing the London club scene like Calum Best the son of a fellow Manchester United legend!

Playboy Fraudster Eamon Zada Escaped £140,000 Bar Bill at Amika, Jailed for £1.6m Credit Card Scam

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

A Playboy fraudster who spent a night splurging £140,000 on Champagne at top London night club Amika in Kensington has been jailed for scamming credit card companies out of £1.6m in the pursuit of a luxury lifestyle.

Eamon Zada ran a credit card cloning factory from his Notting Hill flat, obtaining the kind of money required for a life like a millionaire celebrity. When police carried out a search they found a highly sophisticated device which intercepts credit card details from phones.

As well as racking up the bill at Amika, the 27-year-old enjoyed huge shopping trips – to shops on some of London’s most fashionable streets like New Bond Street, Oxford Street and Regent Street – and swigged the finest Champagne at London clubs. When he wasn’t pouring it straight onto a VIP club floor as a decadent gesture  at parties, he enjoyed going to the best restaurants, like the Ivy, and buying expensive gadgets and fast cars.

He has previous convictions for fraud after he and a group of friends went on a £25,000 spending sree with cloned cards in Stafford.

Former Baywatch Celebrity Pamela Anderson seen with Rock Star at Top London Club Whiskey Mist in Mayfair

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Former Baywatch celebrity Pamela Anderson was spotted with a mystery “rock star” last Tuesday night at VIP Mayfair bar Whiskey Mist, just off Hertford Street.

The “rock star” in question was called “Alan”, the latest star of the Doritos Guitar Hero TV advertisement, who also took her on a shopping spree around the capital. Anderson was helping Alan, who is seen in the adverts aspiring to be a rock star, to achieve that status by being the sexy blonde rock chick on his arm as part of the promotion.

Earlier that day, she also visited the New Wimbledon Theatre where she will make her pantomime debut this Christmas as the genie in Aladdin.

But a source at the club, which is frequented by Premiership footballers and Prince Harry, said the 42-year-old actress didn’t even have a drink.

But at least she has a A-lad-in her life, even if it is “Alan”…

Big Brother Model Sophie Reade (aka Dogface) Parties at funkybuddha Club in Mayfair

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Big Brother champion and model Sophie Reade (aka Dogface) was showing off her talents on Wednesday night as she partied in London enjoying the nightlife with pals at funkybuddha in Mayfair, including fellow BB contestant Rodrigo Lopes. The gang made their way to the top London VIP night club after going to celebrity gossip magazine Reveal who had their birthday planned as a party at Movida on Argyll Street in Soho, only to return later.

The beauty, who has a 30H chest, minced around glamorously,  looking rather sassy in a tiny print dress which displayed her not unnoticeable cleavage – which she recently revealed grew from an already astounding 30GG to a 30H cup while she was in the BB house.

Sophie teamed it up with some animal-print heels. “Reeeeeeoooooow, was that a major fashion f*** up!”, an onlooker was quoted as saying outside Movida which was very quiet as a result of Bob Sinclair playing at Jalouse, and the launch of Chinawhite and Crystal.
