Joe Strummer’s daughter Jazz is a nice girl…..

Eating’s cheating…..

Lisa Moorish’s children Molly and Astile (the father’s are Liam Gallagher and Pete Doherty) are so polite, well brought up and damn cute.

Kate Moss didn’t show - supposedly because she didn’t want to run into Pete Doherty after his performance…..

Jade Jagger camps in a tent and doesn’t stay in a winnebago….

Badly Drawn Boy has completely grey hair now…..

Lady Gaga and Lily Allen are officially fantastic live…..

Poor Fran Cutler’s fashion sense doesn’t improve at a festival….

Prince Harry’s rumoured fling Caroline Flack is like a cute little pixie!

Tommy Reilly - who performed in the Orange Chill and Charge tent - has a great little voice…..

There’s a new band called Ou Est Le Swimming Pool who are fantastic - like a dirtier version of the Killers……

Alfie Allen’s a little porkier nowadays…..

Apprentice star Simon James Ambrose has an incredibly expensive sunglasses obsession…..

Having a chat with new girl band Girls Can’t Catch!

I had a blast catching up and watching new girl band Girls Can’t Catch performing in the Orange Chill and Charge tent at Glastonbury.

The ladies are the newest girl group to come from British record label Fascination and they were actually pretty awesome. And thankfully they can cut it live too! The girls are Daizy, Phoebe and Jess. You might actually recognise Phoebe from 2007’s X Factor - she was the lead singer of Hope.

Their debut single Keep Your Head Up, written by Chris Braide, is scheduled for release July 2009 and Shaznay Lewis has written Turn Me Up for them too.

They are fresh from supporting Girls Aloud on tour and their label mates include Girls Aloud, The Saturdays and The Jonas Brothers.

Could model Daisy Lowe be engaged?

Could model Daisy Lowe have secretly become engaged to boy toy Will Cameron from the band Blondelle? The leggy model looked chic and relaxed as she marched around the festival in her floaty gown.

But I couldn’t help but look at her green stoned ring on her wedding finger. Daisy - who was spotted at Glasto slurping on Glaceau Vitamin Water’s permanently - said recently that she wanted to get hitched young so maybe Will’s the one for her!

Geri Halliwell’s planning to work with Philip Green on a Topshop range…..

June 28th, 2009

That Geri Halliwell is a clever little cupcake.

Not content with being last year’s biggest-selling children’s author, Geri looks set to be embarking on a clothing range with Sir Philip Green and Topshop.

I caught Geri slipping into his office this week for a meeting and I’m told she’s working on a fashion range for women ‘a little older’ than Topshop’s usual customers. Good for her!

On The Grapevine…..

June 28th, 2009

*Sting’s daughter Coco Sumner looked her usual drab self as she paraded around the festival - most of the time with a fag hanging out of her mouth. Coco tells me she’s finally getting ready to release her debut solo album: “It’s almost done. I can’t wait to get some material out for everyone to hear.”

*Sadie Frost stopped by the Donmar Warehouse to watch her ex-hubby Jude Law perform in Hamlet. This comes a few weeks after Jude stopped by Sadie’s play Touched. Who said ex’s couldn’t get on, eh?

*There’s no stopping Pixie Lott right now. Not content with her track Mama Do topping the charts in the UK, Pixie’s off to Asia, Australia and America in the coming weeks. You go, Pix.

*I used to love the band Matchbox Twenty - and now I’m enjoying the solo efforts of lead singer Rob Thomas. People, his album Cradlesong is out tomorrow - check it out!

*Amy Winehouse may be an old soak but she has a heart! The singer has been campaigning against developers evicting St Lucian resident Marjorie Lambert to build a golf club. Amy said: “People can’t let this happen. This place is heaven and there ain’t no reason to take it from Marjorie.” Next she’ll be (passed out) in front of the demolition tractors!

*ITV’s At The Movies host Giles Vickers Jones launched his new book The 7 Worst Men in London last week - and I hear it’s already being optioned for a film spin-off. Get him!

*Jade Jagger and boy toy Dan Williams were the main celebs at the Leap Anywhere Charity launch last week. It was also the debut DJ performance by actress Tamsin Egerton. And she was good…

Lady Gaga, Daisy Lowe and Nick Grimshaw pay tribute to Jacko at Glasto

June 28th, 2009

Stars including Lady Gaga, Daisy Lowe and Nick Grimshaw paid tribute to Michael Jackson in the PlayStation 3 SingStar VIP area.

I saw them all singing along to Earth Song, ABC and Rock With You. But not everything went quite to plan for Lady Gaga who, amazingly, was abandoned by her entourage as she performed her blistering set on the pyramid stage.

Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley also thought she was a highlight of the festival. She said: “I thought she was amazing - and I especially liked her intentional flashing!”

Talking to the Geldof Sisters at Glastonbury!

June 28th, 2009

Quote of the festival goes to Pixie Geldof: “Last night was very interesting, let’s just say I woke up on a picnic bench.”

But she wouldn’t elaborate and instead talked festival fashion with me backstage in the Orange VIP area.

Whereas at previous festivals Pixie has worn an array of fancy-dress wigs, this year she turned up with only one – but not for the want of trying.

Pixie told me: “This year I’ve only one wig – shock horror. I tried to find more after losing all my wigs at last year’s festival, but I didn’t manage to find one I liked. The wig does help with not being recognised, now and again.”

Meanwhile, sister Peaches has been trying out some posing tips from her bosom buddy Paris Hilton. The rock offspring told me: “It’s all about the hand on the hip and a look that says it all.”

‘Nuff said

PS. Sorry abou the blurry picture! It was wild down there!

Alice Dellal misses Glastonbury after a big bender on Thursday night!

June 28th, 2009

Move aside Kate Moss – there’s a new model stealing your crown as the naughtiest chick on the runway.

Step forward Alice Dellal, 22, who managed to “indulge” so much at Glastonbury that she was packed off to London first thing on Friday morning, missing the entire festival.

I partied it up at the Shangri-la camping zone where the heiress’s luxurious designer tent was left zipped up and unused for the three-day extravaganza.

A source reveals: “Alice pitched up on Thursday ready for a crazy festival experience and it went hugely wrong.

“Her tent was alongside Jade Jagger’s with a load of her friends and Alice couldn’t help but hit it hard when she arrived on site on Thursday afternoon. The drinks were flowing and things quickly escalated and got very out of control.

“Everyone was very worried about Alice when it reached the evening. She clearly wasn’t in a good way, was stumbling around and didn’t seem with it.”

Pals of Alice – famous for shaving just half her head – say she indulged so much that friends took her straight back to London on Friday morning.

She’s probably barely recovered after the Download festival at Donnington Park two weeks ago, where she was seen falling around and was generally a bit worse for wear.

A pal of the model adds: “She was totally gutted to have missed out all weekend and had been looking forward to it. But she had no choice about leaving.

“Her body literally told her she couldn’t have coped with any more boozing or partying.”

The model, who recently stripped down for a raunchy Agent Provocateur film, is pals with Peaches Geldof and is often seen out on the London party circuit.

Time to clean up your act, Ms Dellal.
