  • Benedict Cumberbatch Married Judge Rinder And His Husband

    Now there are three amazing things about this story: they include Benedict Cumberbatch, Ibiza and a certain marriage between Judge Rinder and his partner.

    It’s not every day you can claim to be married by a superstar like Benedict Cumberbatch, but TV’s own Judge Rinder can say just that.

    The Imitation Game actor Benedict Cumberbatch married the larger-than-life Robert Rinder, who is ITV’s darling of afternoon TV. For those who aren’t in the know, Judge Rinder is the frontman of a hugely successful reality courtroom show, very much similar to Judge Judy, with a little more bite in it.

    Last year the real-life barrister married his long-term boyfriend Seth Cumming at a sun-drenched ceremony on Ibiza. The marriage was officiated by Cumberbatch who is an old friend of Rinder’s from Manchester University.

    In an interview with the Daily Mail, worries for his career were posed to the judge, who quipped,

    ‘It’s very sweet of you to be worried about my career,’ he says, ‘but I’m not sure anyone who knows me well will be surprised to find me doing something like this, and obviously I’ve told all my clients. I thought about it carefully before I dipped my toe in the water of entertainment. As long as I’m not bringing the bar into disrepute – which I don’t think I am – then it seems I’m on safe ground.’

    Along with Benedict, Rob shared his big day with Ivan Massow, who is planning to run for London Mayor this year.

  • Perez: Katie Hopkins Is What I Used To Be

    Perez critcises Katie Hopkins by saying she is now what he used to be, are we seeing a Perez 2.0?

    During a task, in which the housemates have to debate, Big Brother asks: “Does anyone in the House take themselves too seriously”? RuPaul Drag Race judge Michelle Visage says that they take things too personally but not seriously. Katie Hopkins says that she won’t talk to Perez unless she’s told to by Big Brother. Perez asks if that is a threat or a promise and that her bullying will not hurt him and remarks that Katie Hopkins said that he has back fat.

    Katie Hopkins says that he does have back fat and that you can see it as he is always wearing spandex. Nadia comments that Katie’s mentioning of people’s physical attributes weakens her argument. Perez finishes by saying to the group about Katie Hopkins: “She’s what I used to be.”

    Katie Hopkins is famed for her ‘tell it like it is’ persona, which has left her open to criticism. She was slammed last year when she used fat jibes against Gemma Collins, when the TOWIE star entered the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Jungle.

  • ALEX REID Responds To Katie Price Up The Butt Claims

    “Just because I’ve smoked doesn’t make me a smoker…” are the remarks from Alex Reid after claims about his sex life make people question his sexuality.

    Katie Price revealed graphic details about her ex-husband’s sexual preferences in a conversation which has left the ex-pro fighter “disappointed.”

    When Katie Price was asked by Michelle Visage whether Reid “liked it up the arse”, Price responded by saying she “could not put enough up there”.

    “A lot of straight men like to have the pinkie up there, but Alex wanted it all,” she added.

    When Michelle questioned further, asking “Did he ever ask you to strap it on?”, Price continued: “I’ve done it all. Of course, I did. That’s what I’m saying, that’s why I divorced.”
    Responding to the revelations, Reid told MailOnline: “I’m disappointed Katie would bring up private information.”

    Asked whether he was bisexual, the former cage fighter said: “I… no… I don’t smoke but I have tried a cigarette. Experimentation is not orientation… I like women.”

    He added: “That was a long long time ago when I was experimenting to find out what I was all about. Clearly I like women, I want to be with a woman.

”I’m obsessed with women. I’m brave enough to say that.”

  • RECIPE | Herby Pork Chop

    Serves 2 |  Prep 15 mins Cook 15 mins

    Herb up your life! This deliciously bronzed, herb spiked, panko crumb pork is super easy to put together and is a treat to the taste buds with a lemony undertone thrown in too. I served mine with Thyme Roasted Baby Leeks, steamed tenderstem broccoli, and a small whole jacket sweet potato each. The recipe is easily doubled and you could also apply the same method to flattened chicken breasts.

    Pork is a great source of protein, and is also another good way of getting zinc into your diet. 85g of pork contains just under 2mg of zinc, and men require about 11mg a day (women 8mg). Zinc is an important mineral to consider for healthy immune system function. 85g of pork chop is also only around 137 calories.

    1 egg, lightly beaten

    5. In a frying pan large enough to accommodate both chops, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over a medium to high heat.
    6. Fry the chops for 3 minutes on each side.

  • RECIPE | Griddled Romaine Lettuce Hearts

    Serves 2  | Prep 5 mins | Cook 5 mins

     

    Simplicity at it’s very best. I actually now prefer these lettuce hearts cooked as opposed to in a cold salad. Slightly charred matched with a sharp, creamy dressing this simple side could match any main, or you may even want to serve it as an unusual starting course.

    – Just 94g of romaine lettuce provides you with 107% vitamin K, 45% vitamin A, and 31% of folate, of your recommended daily intake, to name a few!

    (SOURCE: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=61 ). Make the romaine your new romance with lettuce. Compared to the standard iceberg lettuce, the romaine has; less sugars and salt, twice the amount of protein and calcium, three times the vitamin K, four times the amount of iron, eight times the vitamin C, and seventeen times the amount of vitamin A. It’s a no-brainer. SOURCE: (http://www.care2.com/greenliving/10-powerful-advantages-of-eating-lettuce.html )

    Ingredients.

    For the dressing:

    1 ½ tbsp olive oil

    1 tbsp mayonnaise

    1 tbsp worcestershire sauce

    1 lemon, juice of

    1 garlic clove, crushed

    Salt & pepper, to tase

    1 Romaine lettuce heart, halved

     

    Method.

     

    1. Mix all the ingredients for the dressing together in a small bowl with a whisk. Set aside.
    2. Lightly oil the lettuce halves on their cut sides with a brush, and heat a griddle pan to a medium-high heat.
    3. Griddle the lettuce halves cut side down for 2-3 mins.
    4. Remove from pan and serve drizzled in dressing.

  • CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER: Kavana Unleashes His Inner Monster

    It seems as though booze is getting the better of singer Kavana in the house after declaring Keith Chegwin a new enemy.

    A drunken Kavana has declared war on two housemates, Keith Chegwin and Perez Hilton. In the Diary Room, after downing a cup of alcohol, Kavana tries to release a burp before describing the mood as “false as fu*k”. He then described Keith as lovely man “a one trick pony” and that Perez is playing a huge game, claiming, “when is the English public going to see that f*cking Perez is playing a f*cking game!”

    Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the Housemates discuss Kavana and his drinking. Keith and Alicia agree that he can be rude when he’s drunk, but Katie Hopkins observes that he has a calming effect on arguments in the house.

    In the bedroom, Kavana remarks to Perez about Keith, “I’ve got a new enemy now, it’s not you, it’s him”, As Kavana speaks, Keith lies awake in bed and replies “I’m not your enemy” Kavana replies “Trust me you are, and you’ll see it tomorrow”.

    During his time on the Big Reunion, Kavana had an explosive row with Adam Rickett, speaking about his outburst to TheGayUK Kavana said, “What they didn’t show on that particular day is that I had received some pretty bad news, my mum is poorly with Alzheimer’s. I had a very weak moment. I just hit the bottle, obviously, it was right in the middle of rehearsals and on camera.

    “My mum’s in a care home. It’s pretty tough because I can’t call her because it confuses her. So I’ve gone from speaking to my mum every day to just not speaking to her – maybe once a month, because it gets her very confused. She doesn’t understand who I am. It’s kind of hard, but it is what it is. When I do see her I make sure we have quality time.

    “I have a tendency to self-sabotage, if something good is about to happen a part of me tries to sabotage it.”
