Celebrity Round-Up! 20/02/11

Dancing Queen Jason Gardner revealed this week he had received death threats relating to his showdown with Karen Barbour two weeks ago. Jason said: "I thought maybe I wanted out when I received the death threats. It's scary. One guy has even told me he will put a bullet through my brain.” It’s just a shame Jason doesn’t have one.

Lady Gaga revealed she likes to be drunk while working on music. The ‘Born This Way’ singer added: "I like to drink whiskey and stuff while I am working. But the deal is I've got to work out every day."

It’s alleged that Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell will not return to the UK X Factor this year. Cowell is quoted by a ‘friend’ (Yeah, cause that’s a reliable source.) saying that he was "committed" to the American Version of the show. With Cheryl hinting on a US chat show that Cowell and herself would concentrate on the arrival of the show in the States.

The BBC have launched a probe into claims BBC3 show 'The Real Hustle' was faked. It's claimed actors were used instead of everyday 'victims' and that people were knowingly being filmed for the cameras. Poor show BBC... POOR!

Actress Patsy Palmer (The ginger who plays Bianca in Eastenders) was rushed to hospital earlier this week after receiving botched botox injections. Palmer revealed it would be her last brush with botox, claiming never to use it again. Time will tell.

Rihanna is being sued by photographer David LaChappelle over similarities of shots on her new video "S&M".  LaChappelle claims 8 of his images are incorporated into the video. Ri-Ri is yet to make a formal statement. This is a second blow to the singer as the BBC have changed the name of her single to "Come On" as they felt it was inappropriate to use the name "S&M" as younger listeners tune into their stations.

Poor Cheryl Cole was left humiliated and angered after a Russian bride site posted pictures of her on their website. When contacted by the Daily Star, the site's boss Irina Grebneva insisted that the images had been used "by mistake" and claimed that she had not heard of Cole. We just hope she wasn’t looking weak, limp or lifeless - L’oreal would rage.

And finally, fans of Big Fat Gypsy wedding will be happy to hear the program will return later this year for a Christmas Special. There is even speculation a star of the show will deliver Channel 4’s alternative Queens Speech on Christmas Day… PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN !!!!
