Following his 12-week suspension from the BBC, Jonathan Ross is likely to be spending a lot more time with his Jewish wife, writer Jane Goldman, and their three children. But whether or not he has received a warm welcome in the family home is questionable after some of the revelations in his ironically titled autobiography, Why Do I Say These Things? One particular story is likely to leave Mrs Ross with a face as red as her hair. The controversial TV presenter describes how his wife of 20 years rises from a conjugal "quickie" on the floor during a moment when the children were out of the house, with a Sticklebrick stuck to each buttock. Nice.

Stevens told OK! magazine that guests won't go hungry at the wedding, "We're both real foodies so [there'll be] lots of food." And it seems that Bourne knows what an enviable position he is in to be marrying a woman who has often topped sexiest girl polls. "I won't be able to take my eyes off her - she's going to be the most beautiful bride," he says.

The actress, who does not consider herself a singer, wasn't feeling too confident when her part required her to sing in front of her chart-topping co-stars. The actress, born to a Jewish mother and Nigerian father, said at the film's premiere: "It was highly embarrassing. Really, really embarrassing. I'm not a singer. All night the night before I was thinking: ‘I've got to sing in front of Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and Queen Latifah!' I wouldn't even sing in front of my own mum."

But Stephen Fry has gone further and created his own ice cream. After filming at the Ben and Jerry's factory for his BBC1 show, Stephen Fry in America, the actor is soon to receive a batch of the ice cream flavour he invented there. Viewers saw him mix together chocolate, walnuts and vanilla ice cream to create what was dubbed "Even Stephens". If he needs a second opinion, I'm more than willing to taste some.
