Jade’s eventful weekend
Jade Goody is resting today after she was faced with a female intruder holding a hammer on Sunday afternoon.
Publicist Max Clifford said the star was unhurt but "very shaken up" by the incident which took place in Jade’s room at London’s Royal Marsden Hospital. The woman was arrested and taken into custody but released without charge.
Jade and her sons took part in an emotional christening ceremony at the hospital on Saturday. Bobby, five, Freddy, four, and their mum were christened during what Clifford described as a "very short and emotional service". He also revealed that the ceremony, which was covered by OK! magazine, would be Jade’s last public event.
The 27-year-old’s condition is now so grave that she only stays awake for several minutes at a time, he explained. But Jade got a much-needed boost over the weekend when Michael Jackson phoned to wish her well . According to The Sun, Jacko also promised VIP tickets to his UK shows for her, husband Jack and her sons in July.
Amy charged after allegedly punching fan
Amy Winehouse may have moved out of Camden, the scene of much of her debauched behaviour (to Hadley Wells in Enfield), but she can’t escape her past… the star has been charged with assault after allegedly hitting a fan at a charity concert last September.
The incident took place at End Of Summer ball, a £700-a-ticket fundraising event in London’s Berkeley Square. The alleged victim, Sherene Flash, states that Amy reacted badly when she asked her to pose for a picture, punching Flash in the eye and running off.
Amy was questioned and charged at West End Central police station and will appear in court on March 17. Her spokesperson confirmed the incident: "Amy voluntarily attended a police station in London yesterday morning. She was questioned by appointment in relation to an accusation made after the Berkeley ball last year. She was charged with common assault and will attend a court hearing in the coming weeks."
Ashley Cole arrested
Footballer Ashley Cole has been arrested and charged with being drunk and disorderly after a night out in London.
"Cole was held after swearing repeatedly at police and refusing to calm down after emerging from Collections Nightclub in South Kensington at around 2am," BBC reporter Ben Ando confirmed.
A Scotland Yard spokesperson told reporters that the 28-year-old Chelsea player was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly: "He was taken to a central London police station where he was issued with a fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly and released shortly after 5.30am."
We wonder what Ashley’s wife Cheryl Cole will say when she finds out – Cheryl is currently climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for BBC’s Comic Relief.
