I’m A Celebrity’s Coleen Rooney’s rules for husband Wayne as she flies to Australia
AS she prepares to fly Down Under this weekend ahead of her stint in I’m A Celebrity, Coleen Rooney has been busy sorting her to-do list.
And, according to pals, one of the most pressing matters is sorting out who is going to be keeping an eye on her husband Wayne.
The former England star, who is the boss of Plymouth Argyle football club, is famed for getting himself into hot water while Coleen’s back is turned.
And those close to Coleen told me her family were on red alert to make sure nothing back home could derail her experience in camp.
A pal said: “Everyone close to Coleen is very aware of what has gone on in the past, and will be staying in close contact with Wayne while she’s away.
“His football schedule means he can’t fly out to join her so he’ll be watching it from Plymouth.
“The family want nothing to spoil Coleen’s experience on the show and they’re making it their business to ensure it can’t.
“Everyone will be checking in on Wayne and, as a family, they’ll be cheering her on to the final.”
Given this is Coleen’s first foray into reality television, I have no doubt she will be crowned Queen of the Jungle this year, given the fascination that surrounds her.
But if I were her, I’d have a permanent minder glued to Wayne’s side.
Blokes are nightmares at the best of times, let alone when you’re almost 10,000 miles away from them.
J.LO’S SPECS APPEAL
IT may be November, but that didn’t stop Jennifer Lopez rocking shorts and shades to a screening of her new movie in the Big Apple.
She looked great as she arrived at the special showing of sports drama Unstoppable, and even her estranged husband Ben Affleck had nice words to say about her.
Ben, who produced the movie and is currently divorcing the star, said of her role: “Jennifer is spectacular.”
CARL ‘N’ PETE GET ALONG
CARL BARAT and Pete Doherty have announced The Libertines will play a huge show on August 9 next year at Gunnersbury Park, West London.
The pair put aside their differences to work together again and in April their album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade went straight to No1.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, with Supergrass as one of their warm-up acts.
Supergrass’s Danny Goffey said: “We first played with them 22 years ago when we took the fledgling band on tour.
“Time flies when you’re having fun.”
Also on Friday, tickets for Noah Kahan’s headline show at BST Hyde Park on July 4 also go on sale.
6 NAMES WINNERS
FONTAINES D.C., Jamie XX, Charli XCX and Little Simz are all included in 6 Music’s Artists of the Year.
Nick Grimshaw revealed the top ten, with CMAT, English Teacher, Fat Dog, Kim Gordon, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds making the cut.
The list features acts who have been championed by the station and have made an impact on British culture.
Nick Cave said of the announcement: “Thank you, 6 Music, for honouring us – and for the incredible support you have given us as a band over the years.”
LILY HITS DIZZY HEIGHTS
LILY JAMES proves she’s got a real head for heights in the first picture from the Cliffhanger reboot.
The Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again star is taking over the role made famous by Sylvester Stallone in the 1993 original.
Lily, who appears in the film alongside Pierce Brosnan, made sure she got her hands dirty for the production and learnt how to climb to do the part justice.
Director Jaume Collet-Serra said: “Lily has gone above and beyond for the role, putting in real training and learning to climb.
“Her dedication has allowed us to capture incredible shots.”
IT’S NOT FAIR: LILY OUT OF IT AT OWN PARTY
LILY ALLEN can’t remember one of the most raucous parties she ever hosted – because she was out cold for the entire thing.
She has admitted she took Class B drug ketamine before being carried out of the Glamour Awards in 2008, which preceded the impromptu bash back at her place.
Speaking on her Miss Me podcast, Lily explained: “Quite often people have thrown house parties in my house against my will and also while I’ve not been conscious.
“After the Glamour Awards when I got carried out in a ‘K-hole’, I woke the next morning and like everyone famous was in my house, passed out.
“James Corden, Noel Fielding, Klaxons, Dominic Cooper, Mark Ronson, Alan Carr – everybody was there.
“Someone put me in a cab, drove me home and I got straight into bed.
“When I woke up in the morning, I googled myself, and saw the pictures of me being passed over the railings by security.”
That takes beer fear to a whole new level.
