  LIVE LIKE A CELEBRITY!  

I’m feeling in the mood for a list this morning. Top 5s, Top 10s, Top 100s – love them! (As long as I’m not the person spending hours toiling away to put together the top 100…)

I’ve been inspired by Lily Allen, who hasn’t stopped glowing throughout her pregnancy, to put together a small list of celebrities that dyed their hair blonde then went back to their natural brunette roots.

I personally think Lily looks amazing au naturel as a brunette – way better than when she experimented with a tacky blonde dye.

So here’s a top 5 of celebrities that suit brunette better than blonde:

(1) Lily Allen

(2) Victoria Beckham

Remember when Posh had a blonde bob – click here?

(3) Jordan

We’re not huge fans of her huge extensions right now but it’s way better than her tarty blonde Eurovision look below

(4) Dannii Minogue

She’s the nation’s sweetheart with sleek brunette tresses on our TV screens in  X Factor, but in 1990 she was blonde (and looked a lot worse)

(5) Nicole Richie

The former Simple Life airhead has swapped her former BFF Paris Hilton and her hedonistic partying ways for life as a settled down mother of two. It’s only now she’s ditched the bleach (see the old photos here) that her true beauty shines through.

Trouble may be a-brewing for Katie Price and Alex Reid.

After Katie’s relatively low key hen night which saw her driving home (most unlike the glamour model!), Alex Reid’s stag-do is said to have been a much more racy affair.

Katie apparently banned Alex from having any strippers at the stag do but Alex was photographed out last night in Guildford surrounded by a fair few ’sexy’ nurses.

Seems only fair after Katie was surprised by friends organising her some male entertainment at her hen night!

The couple are due to wed in a ceremony at their house in West Sussex on Saturday.

Follow me @zoegriffin for all the latest news.

Superdrug have taken Katie Price’s fragrance’s off their shelves after it was revealed that the workers responsible for making the bottles were being paid under minimum wage.

The minimum wage in India is £2.25 per day and the workers responsible for making the “Stunning” and “Besotted” bottles were only being paid a measley £2.05 per day.

The fragrances which retail at £19.99 have been withdrawn because they have breached Superdrugs ethical trading policy.

Naughty Jordan.

Katie has assured people that the bottles are now being responsibly manufactured in the UK.

I should blimmin hope so!

I’ve finished the Virgin London Marathon – in 3 hours 52 minutes!!

This morning I am achey, hungry and maybe slightly hungover (I only had one glass of Champagne afterwards but it went straight to my head)

Olympic athlete Iwan Thomas kept me motivated for the first 3 miles and then I lost him as he stormed round in 3 hours 42. I’m slightly annoyed about this as I beat him last year in my first Marathon.

Here’s the celeb time list:

Jenni Falconer – 3 hours 31 minutes

Iwan Thomas – 3 hours 42 minutes

Natalie Imbruglia – 5 hours 2 minutes

Sir Richard Branson – 5 hours 2 minutes

Sam Branson, Holly Branson, Princess Beatrice and the 34-man caterpillar – 5 hours 13 minutes

Michelle Heaton – 5 hours 29 minutes

Ricky Whittle – 5 hours 41 minutes

Lorraine Kelly – just over 6 hours

Gordon Ramsay – GAVE UP!!

I am shocked Gordon gave up as even if he was in pain, he could have walked for a bit. I have more respect for Jordan doing it in 7 hours last year, than Gordon having a tantrum.

Tip of the day: Just keep going! At the risk of sounding like a sargeant major – pain / setbacks are psychological

This morning, I am getting nervous as my first task of the day is picking up my Virgin London Marathon race number from the Excel centre in London’s Docklands.

Suddenly it’s starting to feel real – in two days time I will be running 26.2 miles along the roads of the capital city.

I’ve done it once before – in the admirable time of 3 hours 54 minutes and I have kind of been blocking out memories of the pain.

I think it must be like childbirth as you recover (eventually) and look back on it with rose tinted spectacles.

But unlike Jordan, I’m not going to back out now. I owe it to my charity The Stroke Association, The CityPoint Club where I’ve been training and celebrity fitness expert Shaun Stafford who has been working me hard every week.

Tip of The Day: Please cheer for me if you see me on Sunday!

Earlier this month it was reported that Peter Andre had contacted his lawyers over bruises on his daughter Princess’ face. The story was quickly downplayed as a misunderstanding as apparently Princess was merely covered in smudged mascara (although thats not exactly brilliant considering she is only 3-years-old.

Well now the rumour mill is back in action as Pete has revealed in his latest magazine column that the marks were in fact bruises writing: “Basically, Princess arrived at my house with some bruises on her face and body a couple of weeks ago, and I contacted my lawyers so they could find out from Kate what had happened”. “The story in the paper said that the bruises were in fact smudged mascara but this isn’t true. I wasn’t accusing Kate of anything at all but as her father I just wanted to find out if there was anything I should know.”

According to the Daily Star the UK couple have recently been fighting over who is the bigger star, as Alex has apparently been getting more egotistical and Katie doesn’t like it.

A source close to the couple told the paper: “Alex’s ego is growing by the day and it is beginning to get on Kate’s nerves. She is quick to point out who the real star is, and it is definitely not him.”

“Kate reminded Alex that she had far more viewers than him and it really hit a raw nerve. Alex was so angry he was telling all his mates he thought his new wife was evil.”

Sounds like a couple who need to grow up and settle their differences by buying each other a gift. We recommend Peter Andre’s newest album!

Alex Reid has revealed that he has recently gone under thmatte knife to have a nose job. During an interview with The Observer, Alex pushed his nose up (which sounds disgusting!) and said: “Sorry! It’s not very nice, I know. It’s just that I still can’t really breathe.”

Alex also revealed that he might go back under the knife to ‘fix’ more of his appearance in the future: “I might have [my ears] done. And Botox is good for scarring. Quite a lot of fighters have Botox for the scarring.”

We think you look fine as you are Alex! You really should be careful, as too much surgery could make you end up looking like Mr Potato Head!
