Mark Owen’s wife gives birth to new Take That baby, Fox India Owen, we coo


When Take That aren't wowing with their amazing performances on stage, they're being devoted daddies off stage.

And then there's Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda, who are also expecting a little girl in August.
Here's hoping that Gary's new addition is also a girl, and then the Take That babies could form their own girlband.
Congratulations Mark and Emma!

The DoE lost his bet so we went to Downing Street for lunch


The Queen's unofficial Twitter shadow talks about lunch with her former prime ministers at Downing Street.

Sunshine at last. The DoE had a bet with Mr Cameron that it would rain right through to the Olympics and said we would go for lunch at Downing Street if it didn’t. So sadly that’s what we had to do.

Mr Cameron had invited Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and John Major along. Mrs Blair was unfortunately unable to make it due to an on-going knee problem, which makes it virtually impossible for her to curtsey, and also due to not being invited. Mrs Thatcher was also absent, having given up public duties in the mid nineteen-eighties.
"The DoE asked if Andy Coulson or Rebekah Brooks would be joining us but apparently they were otherwise engaged"
Mr Blair was looking ridiculously tanned. It never ceases to amaze one how someone with his popularity (or lack of it) can smile so much. He asked if one had enjoyed his memoirs and one assured him that they’d taken pride of place in the Royal Library (as a doorstop – one didn’t know if they should be filed under humour or fiction).

The DoE asked him how saving the world was coming along; Mr Blair said it was a slow process but he felt he was getting there. Mr Cameron chipped in that it sounded similar to his experience with the Olympics.

It must have been quite a novelty for Mr Cameron, having a lunch guest that hadn’t made a sizable donation to the Conservative Party in order to be there. The DoE asked if Andy Coulson or Rebekah Brooks would be joining us but apparently they were otherwise engaged. The DoE said he thought they might have a chance to dine at one’s pleasure soon.

Lunch was rather good, to be fair, although the first course didn’t arrive – something to do with G4S being responsible for the delivery, one wasn’t really listening to be honest.

Mr Major said it brought back memories of a curry he’d had in the White Drawing Room.
"There was an awkward moment when Mr Brown refused to leave (again)"

Couldn’t help feel sorry for Mr Brown. He’d hardly had chance to unpack his suitcase, he was here for such a short time. Mr Cameron let him have a sit at the Prime Minister’s desk one last time and there was an awkward moment when he refused to leave (again).

Mr Clegg didn’t join us at lunch but he seemed to be enjoying himself outside in the Downing Street paddling pool. Mr Cameron said he was “keeping him covered in ‘Factor 50’ sunscreen to stop him getting burned, but you just can’t keep him out of the water when it’s sunny”.

Slightly traumatic moment when he dropped his Etch-a-Sketch into the pool, thus practically bringing the Liberal Democrats to a virtual standstill but Mr Blair gave it a shake (the Etch-a-Sketch, not Mr Clegg) and calm was restored. He was back on form in no time and spent the rest of the afternoon squirting Mr Brown through the window with a water pistol.

Just as we were leaving, news came through that François Hollande had arrived safely back in Paris. He’d apparently got the wrong end of the stick on Sunday when he heard that the British were riding triumphantly into the capital and fled to the Switzerland, not realising it was only Bradley Wiggins winning the Tour de France. The French have always been a bit nervous since the end of the 100 years’ war.

Group therapy session over, one issued a quick motivational bollocking for political decisions past, present and future then we jumped in the Bentley and headed back to Buckingham Palace for a G4S (gin, 4 shots) in the garden.

Twitter's @Queen_UK is the unofficial Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, wife of the DoE, mother, grandmother and author of Gin O'Clock - out now in paperback.

Is Kanye West planning to propose to Kim Kardashian? We hope so!


It seems like Kanye West and Kim Kardashian only just got together, however there are already whispers going round that the pair are on their way to getting hitched!

That would be one bling wedding! Copyright: [wenn]
Hang on a minute, didn't Kim just do that whole wedding thing?
Yep, she has only been divorced for 72 days but it looks like she could be walking up the aisle again sometime soon.
That is, if she says yes.
It's believed that Kanye is planning on proposing and is thought to be designing a bespoke engagement ring for his new beau.
Knowing Kanye, we dread to think. It's probably worth more than our house and our car and is more bling than J.Lo's and P.Diddy combined.
Don't forget our invite! Copyright: [wenn]
Radaronline report that Kanye has been spotted in talks with a jeweler and wants to create a ring using the stones from his late mum's collection of jewels.
A source told the website: "Kanye picked out some of Donda's most expensive pieces, including some diamond earrings and a ruby ring."
The rapper is planning to propose once Kim's divorce from Kris Humphries is finalised. Wow, do these celebs know how to move things along fast.

However, we fully support this proposal. Can you imagine the wedding?
Gold plated cakes, papyrus invites, emerald encrusted glasses of Cristal. Probably, anyway.
Plus, we are sure Kim would be one of the hottest brides celebsville has ever seen!
Forget something borrowed, something blue. This would be more like something Gucci, something flown in from Milan.
And the seating plan! We definitely want to be next to Beyonce, OK?
We wonder if Jay-Z would be best man? He could rap the speech. Maybe Blue Ivy could be bridesmaid?
Honestly, it's all too exciting to contemplate.

Michael Jackson’s will: What you need to know about the family feud


The Jackson family are in turmoil as Michael Jackson's relatives fight over his $500 million (£300 million) estate. The latest development in the drama erupted last night when Janet Jackson appeared to slap Michael's daughter, Paris and called her a 'spoiled little b****'.

The singer, who died in 2009, left his entire fortune to his children and mother plus some to charity, leaving his siblings notably absent. While some family members try to contest proceedings claiming the will is a fake, a feud has emerged which appears to escalate on a daily basis.

To help make some sense of the matter we've outlined what happened and when.

17 July: Family members believe MJ's will is a fake

Michael's brothers, Tito, Jermaine and Randy join sisters Janet and Rebbie in requesting MJ's estate executors resign immediately. The quintet believes the MJ's signature on the will was forged. Their letter also claims the executors' behaviour made caused their mother Katherine to have a mini-stroke, although she has denied this.

22 July Michael Jackson's mum Katherine reported missing
Katherine Jackson who is the legal guardian of Michael's three children was caught in the middle of the argument over the will. Her nephew Trent filed a missing person report claiming he'd not spoken to her in a week. This was supported by a statement from the Jackson matriarch's lawyer who said her client never goes 24 hours without speaking to the children.
Paris confirmed the news on Twitter posting:  "yes , my grandmother is missing . i haven't spoken with her in a week i want her home now .[sic]" She later tweeted her anger and even threaten family members writing: "8 days and counting . something is really off , this isn't like her at all .. i wanna talk directly to my grandmother!!<|3 [sic]" And as another day past, Paris posted: "9 days and counting… so help me god i will make whoever did this pay. [sic]"

24 July Tito Jackson retracts his contest over authenticity of will
Tito Jackson makes a statement expressing his wish to remove his name from proceedings writing: "I completely retract my signature from the July 17th letter sent to the Executors of my brother's Michael's estate and repudiate all the claims made against them. I don't want any part of that letter whatsoever."
24 July Tito's son TJ seeks guardianship of children
TJ Jackson tweets his support to Paris saying: "It's completely unfair for them to do this to you and your brothers. We will keep trying. I love you." He then applied for temporary guardianship of Paris Prince Michael and Blanket.

24 July Katherine Jackson found to be safe
The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department confirmed they'd found Katherine and she was in a spa in Arizona with her daughter Rebbie. Jermaine Jackson insisted she was fine explaining through a series of tweets that the missing person report was 'nonsense' and she is resting up following the doctor's advice.
He also said that 82-year-old Katherine did not have access to a phone or computer for her health and that filing such a missing persons report has 'caused unnecessary anxiety with Michael's children.'
24 July Janet Jackson slaps Paris, police called to break up fight
Along with her brothers Randy and Jermaine, Janet tried to removed the children from their home and take them to visit their grandmother. But a argument erupted and footage appeared to show Janet slapping Paris outside of her home and it's thought to have called her a 'spoiled little b****".
The fight then moved inside where RadarOnline report another fight emerged which resulted in Trent Jackson (children's cousin who has taken their side) allegedly punching Jermaine in the mouth and had Randy in a headlock. Police were called but no arrests were made.
25 July Paris tweets apology
Following an evening of fighting Paris then posted: "a lot of ppl have been saying that i "changed i wanna apologize for the attitude... there's just a lot going on... i promise: the ego = gone(: [sic]"
We hope the family can settle things for the sake and well being of everyone!

Strike by border staff called off


Border staff have called off strike action on the eve of the Olympics
Border staff have called off strike action on the eve of the Olympics
The threat of travel chaos for overseas visitors to the Olympics has been averted at the last minute when a planned strike by thousands of workers, including immigration officers, was called off.
The Public and Commercial Services union said the Government was planning to recruit 1,100 staff for the Border Agency and passport service in response to complaints that thousands of job cuts were hitting services.
The union said news of 800 new jobs in the Border Agency and 300 in passport offices was revealed to officials during last-ditch talks and was enough to suspend strike action on Thursday, the day before the official opening of the Games.
Immigration Minister Damian Green said no concessions have been made by the Government, adding that he did not recognise the figure of 800 new jobs, maintaining that no new jobs have been advertised since the union threatened to strike.
"Posts are being advertised to fill gaps left by normal staff turnover," he said.
An advert on a civil service website details hundreds of border force vacancies across the country, at salaries ranging from £21,505 to £26,079 outside London and slightly more in the capital and at Gatwick.
PCS leader Mark Serwotka said the new jobs proved the Government made "huge mistakes" in shedding thousands of jobs in recent years.
The Government had been due to seek a High Court injunction in a bid to avert the strike, before the PCS announced the action was not going ahead. The union said the legal challenge was based on a claim that 12 staff in Paris and Brussels were being involved in the dispute when they were not covered by the issues.
Mr Serwotka said: "These new jobs are a welcome step towards a recognition that the Home Office has been cracking under the strain of massive job losses, and that the answer is not more cuts, but more investment. We are pleased that with these new posts and the progress made in talks we are able to avert a strike ahead of the Olympics."
He said ministers and right-wing commentators had subjected union members to an "unprecedented level of vitriol" over the past week. The union said it had been pressing for talks for 18 months over Government plans to cut 8,500 jobs in the Home Office, including thousands in the Border Agency.

Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton have mini Spice Girls reunion


We've had lots of exciting Spice Girls news recently, from the launch of the Viva Forever Musical to the rumours that they'll perform at the Olympics Closing Ceremony.
Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell out togetherGeri Halliwell and Emma Bunton were spotted out and about together. So we think it's cute that the Spice Girls are even spending some of their down time together, asGeri Halliwell and Emma Bunton proved during a girly shopping trip.

Not only were Emma and Geri spotted out and about together, but they were also both wearing green dresses, showing just how co-ordinated the girls are.
Emma Bunton and Geri HalliwellEmma and Geri giggled their way through their meet up. The Spice Girls were pictured out and about together in London, and in between hugging and giggling, they browsed the shops together.
The cute display of togetherness comes just days after it was suggested that the Spice Girls have been squabbling about whether or not to agree to their potential Olympics Closing Ceremony performance.
Emma Bunton and Geri HalliwellEmma and Geri looked happy and friendly, despite rumours of a rift in Spice camp.Rumours were rife last week that the girls were '95% confirmed' to perform, but Victoria Beckham wasn't exactly keen on the idea.
Apparently, Victoria has told the girls that she'd get up on stage, provided it'll be the last time the Spice Girls performed together.
However, judging by Emma and Geri's smiles, we reckon things are hunky dory in the Spice camp.

Amy Childs talks boob job and new boyfriend, someone’s happy


It was no secret that Amy Childs hated her cleavage before her second boob job a couple of weeks ago.
Amy ChildsAmy Childs has spoken out about her boob job. Copyright [PA]But now that Amy Childs has gone under the knife again, it seems that she's very happy with her new boobs.
Amy has explained that she hated her 'saggy' boobs before she had the op. The reality TV star said: "OMG, they were so saggy. People were saying they were fine but they didn't see what I was like without a bra."
She continued: "I would wear a lot of padding. I had padding in everything — my bras, bikinis. Now I don't need it."
Amy Childs David PetersAmy Childs with her new boyfriend, David Peters. Copyright [WENN]However, it's not just her new boobs which have put a smile on Amy's face recently. She seems pretty smitten with new boyfriend David Peters, too.
Despite only getting together a month ago, David has joined Amy at the opening of Harry Derbidge's new shop as well as on a family camping trip.
Amy Childs has also revealed that David is 'different' to any guy she's been with before.
She said: "I've had boyfriends that treated me well, but he is different. I can't explain it,' she said.
"We're really getting on. It's still early days, like it's only been a month, but I do really like him."

Katie Price: When I marry again it’ll be forever


Katie Price has already been married twice but she wants it to be a case of third time lucky when she weds Leandro Penna as she revealed: "I've always said if I get married again then it has to be forever."

We're doing everything not to raise an eyebrow after hearing this gossip gem, but Katie Price continued on her 'love speech' during her Sky Living HD reality show adding: "I'll get a name for just wearing a wedding dress, in different colours, all the time."

And it isn't just what shade to wear on the big day that's stressing the couple out, the Argentinean hottie appeared uber sincere about his upcoming nuptials saying: "For me it's very important. It's a big decision, marriage. It's not that easy."
The model's last wedding was to Alex Reid in Las Vegas and understandably her current fiancé wasn't too positive about this part of the Katie Price story.
katie price leandro pennaLeandro wants three kids with Katie.
He said: "You married very quick, very stupid."
Katie agreed but swiftly glossed over things adding: "We don't have to think about my past ones, do we?
"With you it's different, everything is very different."
And she's definitely taking a new approach to things! Previously Katie expressed her desire to have children with Alex, but she's now revealed she doesn't know if she's keen.
Leandro spoke of wanting three children and Katie replied saying "I don't know if my body can do that."

Simon Cowell says Britney Spears is mean on US X Factor, ooooh!


Britney Spears' appearance on US X Factor must be one of the most hotly anticipated judging roles we've ever seen.

Simon Cowell has got us even more excited about Britney Spears' role as US X Factor judge, by revealing that she's been 'mean' in her criticisms of contestants.

Seeing as this comment has come from the king of mean himself, we're now fully expecting Britney to be the harshest judge the X Factor has ever seen.
Simon revealed: "Britney's quite mean, as you'll discover."
He went on to explain why he'd chosen her as a judge in the first place: "I was fascinated with her as a person, as a pop star, and there's something intriguing about her. And she's a really good judge."
Britney Spears and Demi LovatoSimon Cowell also called Demi Lovato a 'brat'. Copyright [WENN]Simon Cowell hasn't just dished the dirt on Britney Spears this week, but he also jokingly slated the other US X Factor judge, Demi Lovato.
He said: "She's annoying, obnoxious, disruptive, gobby, irritating, bad manners, not great taste — did I say irritating? Annoying, very annoying. She's a brat."
At this point we were wondering what the heck Simon was thinking hiring 'mean' Britney and 'bratty' Demi, but he went on to compliment Demi.
He said: "I could go on for hours, but that's what makes her special, and I really do love her, a bit."

Medal-winning metallic



The Olympics start on Friday and everyone's focusing on bringing home the gold. No athletic ability? No matter. Just pick out one of these pieces from our high street edit and wear it for the Opening Ceremony instead. 

From liquid silver to shimmering gold, metallics are one of the hot trends of the season. Check out our pick of wardrobe winners and let the Games (and the shopping!) commence...







Tap into two of this season's hottest trends with this Forties-style metallic pencil skirt in glamorous gold, £110 fromReiss.
'This sexy gold pencil skirt is perfect for evenings out,' says personal stylist Angela Barnard of My London Stylist. (mylondonstylist.co.uk) 'Team with a fitted black top tucked in to show off the deep waistband. Add a skinny belt and killer heels and you're good to go.'




One of the best things about metallics is that they are super easy to take from day to night - like these gold trousers, £24.99 from H&M. Dress them up or down as the mood takes you. 

'These gold jeans are brilliantly versatile,' says Angela. 'Wear in the day with an oversize T-shirt and converse trainers or dress up for the evening with a skinny vest, black blazer and heels.'






Metallics don't have to be about full-volume glam. This elegant lace shell top, £12 from Warehouse, is wonderfully subtle and feminine - and still on trend. 

'The subtle shimmer of this lace top is gorgeous for summer,' says Chantelle Znideric, award-winning London personal shopper. 'Team it with a pair of tailored ivory city shorts for the office and Pandora sandals in pink-rose, £125 from LK Bennett.'




For a clean and polished look, keep it simple with this silver skater-style dress, £66 from Warehouse.
'Metallics act as a neutral colour so you can team this dress with bold brights or pretty pastels - just remember to keep accessories to a minimum,' says Angela. 'A pair of heels and a clutch is all you need.



If you're going for that sporty utilitarian look, this metallic grey parka, £139 from Mint Velvet, is effortlessly stylish.
'Wear with slouchy harem pants and a simple, white ribbed vest-top and lace-up wedge sneakers,' says Chantelle. 'Or smarten it up with a black fitted body con dress and a pair of canary yellow leather wedge-sandals Oscar-de-la-Renta style for the evening.'






Glam rock has never looked sexier. Channel your inner rock chick with these metallic snakeskin leggings fromTopshop, £22.00.
'I love the snake effect of these Top Shop leggings,' says Angela. 'Wear them with an oversize chunky jumper and some wedge trainers for understated cool.

If you're after a sexy dress that won't break the budget, look no further than this Jane Norman leopard-print metallic dress, £19, from House of Fraser.
'All eyes will be on you in this dress,' says Chantelle. 'To ensure you don't replicate Bet Lynch's barmaid image, keep accessories minimal and wear with black metallic or shimmer opaque tights and black suede platform ankle-boots. Finally, accessorise with a skinny belt to break up the print.'

Metallics aren't just for a big night out. This silver metallic peplum top from H&M, £22.00, is the perfect way to bring a little glam into your daytime wardrobe.

'The length of this T shirt is just right for girls who'd rather cover their bottoms,' says Angela. 'Wear with skinny black leather or PVC jeggings, add a faux fur gilet and a pair of block-heeled ankle boots for an authentic rock chick feel.'




For an instant touch of glitz and glamour look for accessories with a hint of sparkle, like these ballerina pumps, £55 from Ted Baker.
'These cute pumps are perfect if you want to add a small splash of the metallic trend,' says Angela. 'Wear them with some skinny jeans and a fitted angora jumper for autumn weekends.'


Hot summer days (and nights) call for something with a little dazzle. For a disco-ready look, throw on this silver sequin skater dress, £65 from Top Shop.
'I love this cute sequin skater dress,' says Chantelle. 'All it should be styled with is a pair of cool Nike Dunk High trainers!'






Stacey Solomon reveals her diet secret and it’s not what you were expecting


Stacey Solomon is in brilliant shape, there is no denying. She definitely will not face inevitable bikini fear this summer, which is more than can be said for us.
Stacey has lost two stone in three months!
So with the sun finally coming out, we are desperate for any tips on how we can get bikini ready, and fast!
Luckily, the 'I'm a Celeb' winner has spilled the beans on the secret to her amazing figure.
Stacey managed to lose a whopping two stone in just three months after giving birth to her last baby, Leighton. So what did she do?
14 hours a day on the cross trainer? A diet of air and water?
No, she just scoffed a heck of a lot of spinach. Yes, spinach. Think of it as the Popeye diet.
Stacey while she was pregnant.
"I love spinach," says Stacey, "I really crave it and eat it nearly every day, so that's really helped with losing my baby weight. Anything green and I'll wolf it down!"
She continued:  "When I was pregnant with Zach, I gained 3st and it took me a lot longer to lose it, too, but I don't know why."
Probably because you hadn't discovered the spinach!

Stacey also talked about celebrity mums who lose weight super quick after they have given birth, saying how she could never starve herself to look her best.
The singer says: "I love food too much to ever deprive myself and I hate seeing new mums obsess over dieting and exercise after giving birth. It's not the most important thing — especially when you have a baby to take care of."
She continued: " I'm only 22, I've got a good metabolism and I'm eating healthily. I've still got a bit of a mum tum, which I'd like to tone up, and my hips are quite wide, but it doesn't bother me. I like my body. It does the job!"
Well, we would too because you look amazing!

Finally! Chantelle and Alex name daughter Dolly



There’s no rushing these two! Showbiz couple Chantelle Houghton and Alex Reid have finally decided on a name for their new daughter more than a month after the birth.



Chantelle, who gave birth to her daughter on June 17, revealed in her new! magazine column that she and Alex have settled on the name Dolly.

"It's actually the original name Alex and I liked in the very beginning and we've gone back to it," she wrote.
It's also the name of our favourite cloned sheep and our favourite big-haired country and western singer. She didn't write any of that though...

In fairness, she has stated that she didn't want to rush naming the child and regret her decision. Now the wait is over and we no longer need to keep referring to 'Baby Chantelle and Alex'.

She also used the column to deny rumours that her and Alex were having problems, writing: "I admit we do have issues, but I'm definitely not splitting up with him."

Eek! TOWIE’s Gemma Collins and James Argent describe the first time they had sex..!


TOWIE's Gemma Collins and  James Argent are one couple we have taken a while to get used to.
He finally got that candy!
And we think the same will go for these quotes.
Finally, the couple have come out and talked openly about their relationship. Very  openly. In fact, maybe, a bit TOO openly.
Especially for this early in the morning!
The pair have discussed all sorts of cheeky stuff— from what Arg makes of Gemma's famous curves to in depth details about their sex life.
They are keen to end the speculation that they aren't authentic and convince us all that their relationship is very real.
And after this, honestly we believe them, we do.
Talking about the first time they had sex, Essex boy Arg admits he finally did 'get that candy'!
He says: "It was in Marbella the night after she'd done her big dramatic bit about me not getting 'this candy'. I said "will you come back to my hotel room?" I knew she was going to come - she was trying to play it cool."
One of TOWIE's most talked about couples.
He continued: "We had a couple of drinks but we weren't drunk. We got to my hotel room and she made me go downstairs and get her a brandy and coke. I came upstairs and she's lying in bed in her silk and lace…"
However, Gemma admits she was nervous:  "I was nervous because something was just different. I was thinking "am I doing the right thing here?" He was very persuasive."
So what happened next? Arg says: "She was playing the Backstreet Boys! It was magic."
OK, so while we are not the biggest Backstreet Boys fans, don't knock it 'til you've tried it we guess? Actually no, we think we will pass...
However, the Backstreet Boys must have done the trick as it seems things are going particularly well in that department, with Arg admitting: "It's the best sex I've ever had."

On Gemma's bod, Arg told says: "I think both me and her would lose ourselves if we lost weight - if she wasn't big bubbly Gemma people wouldn't relate to her as much and I love her as she is. When I lost weight I got all cocky."
Gemma added: "Of course I'd like a miracle pill to make me a size 14 but I'm happy as I am and know it suits me."
And judging by the snap above, Gemma is looking fantastic!
But what about when the clothes come off?
Asked what it was like when Arg saw her naked for the first time. Gemma revealed: "I was self-conscious, even though I can be confident I do get a bit shy in front of him sometimes."
Gemma even goes as far to say that Arg is the perfect man for her!
She told the mag: "He's perfect. We've just got that chemistry. We're like magnets."
We really do wish them the best of luck however, might suggest updating the saucy playlist for next time!

Rihanna has secret party with Chris Brown on a yacht (a week after she did same with Drake)


Rihanna may know how to party but we're not sure we'll be following her lead by inviting an ex along for the ride!
rihanna chris brownRihanna and Chris Brown had a secret meeting in St Tropez this weekend. 

But that's exactly what she did as Rihanna and Chris Brown enjoyed a secret liaison aboard a huge yacht this weekend.
The Sun report the former flames met in St Tropez where RiRi has been holidaying with Chris flying by private jet and helicopter, what else?, and hiring his own super yacht to be next to the Bajan beauty.
rihannaRihanna has been chilling out on the French coast. 
A source told the paper: "Chris wanted to see Rihanna. They have this weird addiction to each other and can't seem to stay away.
"She was really happy when he arrived. She spent all evening getting ready to see him.
They waited till night so no one saw them.
"She went to his yacht, which they moved to a secluded bay. They've been through a lot, but still have strong feelings for each other."
rihannaRihanna looks as if she's having plenty of fun in the sun. 
We can imagine trying to get over a girl of Rihanna's caliber must be near impossible so it's not hard to see the reason why he wanted a piece of the party action with her.
The newspaper reports Chris' main motive for the trip was when he heard his arch enemy, Drake joined Rihanna last week and they had some fun in the sun.
Although Chris made it a bit of a boys trip roping in rappers Swizz Beatz and Ludacris for the holiday.
It won't be all work and no play though, the trio plan to film a music video while they're out there too.
Sure thing, it sounds like hard work to us, (erm, yeah right!)
