CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews Celebs Go Dating on E4: Television hits the most wretched abyss with this atrocity of a series
Celebs go dating (E4) Nadir: that's the word. It's the lowest point possible, the utter depths, the most wretched abyss... the very definition of Celebs Go Dating. This atrocity of a series, which has been running for nine awful years, sends showbiz has-beens and never-weres into a bar full of singles and watches to see if anyone is desperate enough to seek out their company. This time, the celebs have to pick a companion for a week in the Med. It's a nadir, not only for reality TV but for our entire species. An hour of watching 1990s pop stars and ageing self-publicists flop around like dying fish, gasping for attention, is enough to make you feel that compulsory celibacy might be better for everyone. That's safer than bumping into former Atomic Kitten member Kerry Katona, who describes herself as, 'best known for being a singer, a mother, a reality star and a car crash'. Kerry claims to be shy and retiring, which explains why so far, at 44, she's worked her way through three husbands and an abortive fiance. 'I just meet someone and we get married,' she explains, before unleashing a cackle that can shatter Perspex, while scanning the Soho bar for her next victim. There were gay men too, for 43-year-old Jon Lee from S Club 7 At least KerryKatFlippinTona, as she likes to call herself, once had a hit single. What is Christine McGuinness famous for, apart from being divorced from but still living with Paddy McGuinness? She tells us repeatedly that she dates women these days. Helpfully, the producers of Celebs Go Dating stocked the bar with a scattering of lesbians, like caterers providing cheese sandwiches for the vegetarian at a buffet. There were gay men too, for 43-year-old Jon Lee from S Club 7. His 'ideal man,' he said, 'is someone rough around the edges, seems like a quite nice, fun guy, but looks like they can rip your head off with their bare hands if they really wanted to'. The other two celebs were both twentysomething reality show veterans — Olivia Hawkins from Love Island and Louis Russell from Too Hot To Handle — and they seemed more interested in flirting with each other than mingling. It's quite obvious that Louis has already met the love of his life... himself. He was the first to pick a date, though he couldn't remember her name: 'I'm pretty sure it's Catherine, or maybe Jenny.' It turned out to be Caitlin. Commentating on all this is comedian Rob Beckett, with the forced enthusiasm of a Butlins redcoat trying to convince campers that an egg-and-spoon race on a wet bank holiday is the best fun they've ever had. Rob has never outgrown the infantile slang of his teens, so that his voiceover sounds like it was recorded in the Noughties. Announcing the upcoming trip to the Balearics, he gurgled, 'We're front-loading this mofo with a mega break to Ibiza.' Serve him right if he ends up marrying Kerry Katona.

Jonas Brothers Bro Down With Jimmy Fallon Over Being Unabashed Girl Dads: ‘I'm Just Buying So Many Clothes'
The Jonas Brothers are pop stars, movie and TV veterans and generational heartthrobs. But, first and foremost, they are girl dads. Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas dropped by The Tonight Show on Thursday night (Aug. 7) to talk about their upcoming 20th anniversary tour and new album, Greetings From Your Hometown. But their first order of business was geeking out with host Jimmy Fallon about the wonders of having daughters. 'I'm just buying so many clothes,' said Nick, father of three-and-a-half-year-old Malti Marie Chopra Jonas when Fallon asked if the siblings find themselves doing anything they never thought they would for the love of their daughters. 'It's ridiculous… I order them, and then I forget that I ordered them and the packages arrive at the house and I'm like, 'Who ordered all these clothes for the baby!?,'' Nick joked.

His other daughter, luckily, is merely obsessed with Stitch from Disney's Lilo & Stitch. Meanwhile Joe — who has the birth dates of his two daughters with ex-wife Sophie Turner prominently tattooed on his upper chest — calmly revealed that he now knows 'every single princess and unicorn.' The trio also talked about pulling together the set list for their upcoming 20th anniversary tour, with Nick admitting that 'it's basically impossible to summarize a 20-year journey with music' in just two-and-a-half hours. With so many songs they want to spotlight, as well as some they can't play live, Nick said the show they've come up with 'really represents the journey we've been on' and the songs that are relevant to them. The JoBros also gamely suited up for a 'Hot Wizard Hotline' bit with Fallon, in which they tapped into the romantasy trend via their throwback VHS-era erotic chat line commercial starring Joe as Gavaniel the Lewd, Nick as Grimblegoth the Naughty and Kevin as Gwyngelvin the Firm. In addition to raising a glass of champagne to toast their new album and tour, the brothers celebrated with one of their favorite backstage tour rider must-haves: ants on a log with almond butter (no raisins for Kevin, though). The Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown tour kicks off on Sunday (Aug. 10) in the siblings' home state of New Jersey at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford with guests the All-American Rejects and Marshmello.

Watch feuding stars Myleene Klass and Frankie Bridge come face to face on live TV – amid rift over star's ‘cheating' ex
THIS is the awkward moment feuding stars Myleene Klass and Frankie Bridge came face-to-face on Loose Women amid their decade-long rift. Myleene, 47, used to be mates with The Saturdays singer Frankie and and her band mate Rochelle Humes. 7 7 7 But their friendship fizzled out when Myleene split from her ex husband Graham Quinn. Frankie and This Morning star Rochelle, both 36, worked with Quinn when he was their bodyguard, and the girl band stars remained friends with him. Now all three former pop stars work as Daytime presenters at ITV. But there is no love lost between them. The Sun this week revealed ITV has stepped in to manage relations between Frankie, Rochelle, and Myleene. Though they avoid each other in the corridors at ITV, one frosty reunion was captured on camera when Frankie and Myleene made a very rare appearance together on Loose Women on December 30. The pair joined panellists Kaye Adams and Linda Robson who notably sat inbetween them. At one point the camera landed on Myleene, as Frankie discussed the drawn out days between Christmas and New Year. She explained: "That's what I hate about it. Not to be negative or anything. "I just feel like I don't know what day it is, time it is, what I'm supposed to be doing, whether I'm meant to be eating mince pies, on my new fitness journey ... the new me." Frankie Bridge says 'you're dead to me' in cryptic post after revealing secret feud Myleene flashed a vacant smile, as Frankie went on: "I just feel a bit lost." Myleene also delivered her positive take on 'Betwixtmas', saying: "I always want to get through the New Year. "I think for a lot of people it's just a reset and a restart ... hopefully 2025 is going to be our year!" Sources told The Sun that they'd rather not be on Loose Women together at all, but they are professionals, and do their best to make things work. Myleene recently talked about her painful divorce from Graham in an interview with TV love guru Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast. Myleene accused Quinn of cheating and said: "I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony. "I've made peace with that situation now but for a long time it was very difficult to see their life… not that I would wish that on a family." Myleene has since warned she "has receipts" to prove Quinn was unfaithful. Myleene is now engaged to Simon Motson, who she met four and a half years after her divorce. BIG FALLOUT Frankie, Rochelle and Myleene were all once close, with Loose Women hosts Myleene and Frankie attending Rochelle's hen do back in 2012. In 2013, soon after Myleene's divorce from Quinn, guests at the Glamour Women of the Year awards saw her storm over to Frankie after believing she had been blanked. A source said: 'Myleene seemed to take that as Frankie taking sides with Graham because of their working relationship." This week, Graham was spotted in Ibiza with Rochelle and her husband Marvin Humes. 7 7 7

Myleene Klass defends pal Kym Marsh as Nigel Lythgoe makes outrageous weight jibes to Hear'Say stars on Popstars in resurfaced video
Myleene Klass has defended her pal Kym Marsh on Instagram on Monday after Nigel Lythgoe's weight jibes to her on Popstars resurfaced in a video. The singers, both rose to fame on the ITV series Popstars in 2001 and became members of the band Hear'Say. During their time on the show, panellist Nigel criticised Kym's looks and instructed her to 'lose some weight' as he quizzed her over her diet and fitness. In the clip, Kym asked, 'Do you think I'm fat?', Nigel replied, 'I think you've put weight on over Christmas, are you exercising, is the diet right?' Kym said, 'I've just started it today', prompting Nigel to add, 'You need to lose some weight you're going on show six weeks from now, six weeks.' Myleene has now re-shared the video to her Instagram Stories and said being fat shamed was a 'daily' occurrence and stars were often weighed on set. She wrote: 'Yes Daily. Stylist often cut the sizes out of some bands outfits to hide the 'shame' of 'double digits'. 'My Hear'say diaries are FULL of this s***. The boys were also shamed. Remember, TFI Friday had scales on set.' Kym has been open about her struggles with self-image in the past, saying she became bulimic after she started comparing herself to smaller girls while at stage school when she was younger. Nigel previously defended his comments about Kym on the show, saying: '[She's] looking fabulous now, acting brilliantly, and she's made a huge career for herself.' Hear'Say formed on ITV show Popstars in 2001 and found success with their number one hit Pure and Simple. Their first album Popstars was a huge hit but their success quickly dwindled by the time they released their second album Everybody. They split up in October 2002, less than two years after being put together on Popstars and cited 'abuse from the public' at the time as the primary reason behind the breakup. Speaking last year, about what pressures she felt as a young person in the spotlight, Myleene told Loose Women viewers their management would 'control how much we were eating' as they were scared they would become 'fat'. She said: 'I mean the scrutiny for a start. My daughter is 17 and if I look at one of my band members Suzie she was 18, so that's one year away. 'I think if someone put my daughter through that level of scrutiny or pressure...' Although she admitted that things have got a lot better since then, Myleene went on to add: 'Some of the experiences that we went through we were in no way equipped for it. 'We were just five kids in a room at the end of the day - not unlike these five kids in a room and that's all you have.' She shared the shocking revelation that her band had tour managers 'clear out our mini bars and food because they thought were trying to control how much we were eating because they thought we were just too fat.' 'Before we walked into a studio our tour manager would get a big bag and clear out our food, treating us like we were children because we couldn't be trusted and we had an image of this perfection, this role to fulfil.' Recalling another experience, Myleene quipped: 'Somebody drew a circle around my cellulite while I was on holiday... 'On the front of every magazine there was a huge circle and my cellulite, we wouldn't allow that today.' Last year, Myleene also recalled how she was publicly told to lose weight for her role in West End musical Miss Saigon aged 18. The TV personality made the revelation while starring on I'm A Celebrity All Stars as she had a heart to heart with campmate Carol Vorderman, 62. Myleene explained: 'When I joined the Miss Saigon cast, I was lined up with all the other girls and I was told, 'You've got to lose weight'. She said the rude remark was made in front of her 24 male cast members who starred in the production as American G.I's. Adding: 'I wasn't pulled aside and I just stood there and it swallowed me up'. Myleene appeared in the tragic love story set in the Vietnam war alongside Jonathan Pryce, 75, which premiered at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane in 1989. Later in the conversation, she spoke about being body-shamed when joining band Hear'Say in 2001, she went on: 'And then I got in the band and I had other band managers coming up saying, 'You're the fattest band in pop'. 'So again, rather than the fact we had talent, I could read any music, play most instruments you put in front of me - it came back to 'fattest band in pop',' she added.
