Less than 24 hours after it launched, Lauren Goodger has become the latest TOWIE star to fall victim to thugs.

Her salon, Lauren’s Way, was set alight and had its windows smashed just hours after the TOWIE star signed autographs outside.  The salon had not even opened up for business yet.

Goodger wrote on Twitter last night, “Thanks for you’re lovely messages tonight.. In bed with lydia and Georgia 3 in a bed won’t be able to sleep tonight..#angelslookingover.”

Goodger is the second TOWIE star to suffer at the hands of their fame with sisters Billie and Sam Faiers being attacked last year.

An Essex Police spokesman said that minimum damage had been done to the salon however police officers were still standing guard last night.  He added that the people who lived about the shop were forced to be evacuated from their homes while it is not yet clear whether they have been let back.  They added that it was the only arson attack in the area and that their investigations were still ongoing.

The salon was featured on The Only Way is Essex last week when Goodger showed the premises to pal Lydia Bright and her mother Debbie and is named after her line of tanning products.  It had been due to offer spray tans, hair blow dries and hair extensions as well as teeth whitening and HD brows.

If it wasn’t for Cheryl Cole backing her she might not have landed her recording contract and a number one single but it seems teenager Cher Lloyd still has a lot of growing up to do as she sniped at her former X Factor mentor.

Despite somewhat idolising her when she appeared as a contestant on the show and turning into her mini me, Lloyd seems to have forgotten all the aggro Cole went through when she put her through in Judges Houses despite forgetting her words and failing to put on a worthy performance.

The comment came as Lloyd was asked if she would ever sing with Cole during an interview on the Real Breakfast for Real Radio North West show.  She retorted, “Maybe if she sings live with me!” in what seems to be a swipe at Cole using a pre-recorded track when she performed her debut single on The X Factor a few years ago.

It’s not the first time she has spoken about Cole in a bad light, she said recently, “Cheryl understood me and she helped me a lot and so it’s sad that I haven’t heard from her.  But if she wants to give me a ring she can. If not, that’s fine too.”

Cole was obviously not impressed this time and took to Twitter to say, “Be Careful who you kick on your way up… They kick you twice as hard on your way back down #unappreciationisugly.”

It was so successful, it spawned a Celebrity Big Brother champion and a Christmas special so it’s a no brainer that it’s back; bigger and better than ever.

What with 7 million viewers being enthralled by the traditions, customs and those great big fairy light wedding dresses, the show is back next month and promise to be even more outrageous and lavish, with even bigger dresses.

And of course the show wouldn’t be the same if there wasn’t a shot of a bride struggling to get her dress into the car, or in this case, carriage.

The new series kicks off with 21-year-old Dolores who gets married in a dress that is emblazoned with the image of a cat on the front.  She said, “Everyone has flowers or stars on their dress, I wanted something different.”

If you’ve ever hating wearing a bridesmaid’s dress, you’ll like this; five poor bridesmaids had to get dressed in bright green tiered dresses with matching headpieces and bouquets.

Also returning to the show is dressmaker Thelma Madine who has featured on the show since the first series. Madine agrees that the cat-decorated gown is the “most outrageous” she has ever made even thinks Dolores may have a new nickname in the form of Catwoman.

The latest series of the show is believed to be focusing more on gypsy life in terms of crime, education and family and will also see the return of Celebrity Big Brother winner Paddy Doherty.

My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding returns on February 14 on Channel 4.

Their relationship was never confirmed nor denied – until now.

Harry Styles, who will turn 18 on Wednesday, tweeted fans to confirm that he has split from Caroline Flack, 32.

He hit out at reports that he had dumped the presenter of The Xtra Factor saying, “Please know I didn’t “dump” Caroline. This was a mutual decision. She is one of the kindest, sweetest people I know.”

The pair sparked controversy when they were pictured together back in October due to the 15 year age gap but ignored the furore which saw Alex Curran and other celebrities lash out over their pairing.  They were adverse to courting more controversy though and frequently avoided being photographed together with the picture above being one of the only ones of the couple.

They were spotted leaving each other’s houses in the early hours of the morning but they were said to have split over the new year just before Styles and band One Direction jetted off on their first American tour.

Celebrities such as Amy Childs, Kirk Norcross and Kara Tointon have been photographed donning this year’s Sport Relief T-shirts to raise money for the charity.

The charity aims to raise money to help disadvantaged people in both the UK and the world’s poorest countries.

Childs, who is more often known for slapping on fake tan and wearing false eyelashes said, “Like me you don’t need to be sporty to get involved with Sport Relief.  Trust me, the only way is to buy the T-shirt, look fantastic and know you’re doing your bit.”

T-shirts are available from Sportsdirect.com and they can also be personalised with numbers and your name.

Dave Forsey, CEO of Sportsdirect.com, said, “We are delighted to be partnering with Sport Relief and look forward to contributing to another phenomenal campaign.”

Sport Relief is being celebrated from March 23 to 25 and Olly Murs and JLS will take to the stage on 24th March at the O2 to raise money while a million people are expected to take part in the sponsored Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile.

The Sport Relief T-shirt launches today, visit www.sportsdirect.com or your local store to buy and personalise your own T-shirt.

That TOWIE lot sure are loaded.

Brand new Range Rover’s before they are even released on the market, owning The Sugar Hut but who knew Mario Falcone was so rich?

Maybe Lucy Mecklenburgh did…

After all she was expecting a Rolex watch for Christmas and was disappointed he only gave her a designer handbag.

Falcone, 23, was seen looking around a Sunseeker boat in London and later revealed on Twitter that he had put down a deposit on one.

The yacht can of course be personalised, lots of MF initials all round then, while it also has three docks and a state of the art satellite navigation system.  It can hold up to 12 guests and 10 crew members.  Furnished with satin-finished American walnut joinery and hide-upholstered furniture, it also boasts a sound system that costs in the region of £300,000.

Bet Mark Wright is well jell.  he only bought a £100,000 Mercedes last week.  It’s not quite the same as a £5.2 million yacht is it?

She certainly lives life in the fast lane.

Made famous in the UK from appearing on The X Factor at 17, a hit number one single to follow and engaged at 18.

Lloyd has been dating her hairdresser boyfriend, Craig Monk, for 9 months now and has apparently been telling her family and friends that they are engaged.  A source says, “Cher’s been telling anyone who will listen that she’s engaged to Craig, despite originally denying the news.  She’s head over heels and has been sporting an engagement ring since last month.”

She previously said of Monk, 21, “My boyfriend keeps me sane,” which may be why she had him accompany her on her working trip to LA last month.  She added, “He tells me to keep a grip, he’ll say ‘You’ve got the best thing ever, realise you are the luckiest person ever.’”

The pair have been together since meeting last April at the Mayfair salon where he works.

There were rumours that The Only Way is Essex would be getting a revamp and ITV have confirmed that Maria Fowler and Harry Derbidge will not be in the next series.

The news comes as both the stars took to Twitter to announce to their fans that they were leaving the show to move on to other things.  Leaving or axed?  Fowler wrote, “‘I Would like to be the first to announce… After a rollercoaster year and after meeting with producers today we have decided that my time on TOWIE has come to an end.  I am happy to be leaving the show on a high after 3 series and feel I am embarking on a new chapter in my life with exciting projects both personal and professional. Thank you for all your support during my time on the show and I hope to continue to keep you all entertained throughout 2012!! Xx”

Derbidge wrote, “Hiya! I really did not want you to all find out so soon but its out there, I am not in TOWIE anymore as I am moving onto different things.  Thank you all for your support and keep following and checking out, and I will see you on all on tv again very soon.”

He has been seen in Amy Childs’ reality show, All About Amy, where he also mentioned that he wanted to work in her salon.

Anyway, rumour has it that they aren’t the only two stars up for the chop.  Sam Faiers and Lauren Pope are reportedly in trouble with the show bidding to keep its format fresh and to shake up the show.

Bosses are due to confirm the cast for the fourth series later this week and we now know to expect some new faces.  We thank them for their contribution to the show and wish them every success for the future.”

The Wanted have done fairly well in the UK since they burst onto the scene.

They’ve had two number ones and three top ten singles but it seems that isn’t enough and the fivepiece are seeking some fame a bit further afield.

The band are about to embark on a US tour and have landed a stint on The Ellen DeGeneres show a week before their opening night.

They are set to land in LA today and film the show to air tomorrow.

Member Max George, 23, wrote on Twitter, “It’s official peeps, The Wanted are coming to the US in 2 days to perform on @TheEllenShow Monday, airing Tuesday!! Everyone come see us!!!!”

The band will already be known to a large number of Justin Bieber fans after they supported him on his London and South America gigs last year. Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, also tweeted to support the band, “The call came in today. @thewantedmusic are coming to the US because they are wanted on @TheEllenShow for Monday airing on Tuesday. nice.”
