Sitting on a park bench with….Lenny Kravitz!

I’m a lover of all things Rock. So I was more than willing to pop along at an hilariously early press call with Rock God Lenny Kravitz. In real life the singer – who’s hits include Are You Gonna Go My Way – is hotter than hot!

The star told me quite a lot – most of which will be revealed at the weekend in my Sunday Mirror column. But we did talk about what music he’s listening too now. And it wasn’t new stuff from the sounds of it! Lenny told me: “I listen to everything and there’s so many new acts – especially in London. I was listening to Nina Simone last night. I like listening to the classics and geniuses every week.”

Incredibly the hunk is celebrating 20 years in the music industry and will play six dates across the country – starting this evening in Newcastle at the O2 Academy. The nationwide tour will culminate at London’s O2 Academy in Brixton next Wednesday. He’s even re-releasing the album that made him a legend – Let Love Rule. So go out and get the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition NOW! Talking about his UK tour dates he told me: “I haven’t played all through the UK like this for some years now so it’s very exciting for me. It’s going to be amazing. I never get tired of touring – it’s what I’m all about.”

I’ve seen him too many times to mention over the years and I can vouch for him – Lenny gives it his all, every single time. Go see him and learn…..

Myleene Klass talks about her toddler Ava’s amazing life on the road with the A-List!

June 22nd, 2009

She hangs out with Angelina Jolie and Leona Lewis, has the run of Simon Cowell’s mansion and gets Spanish lessons from Enrique Iglesias. And she’s not even two yet.

Myleene Klass beams with pride as she talks about her toddler daughter’s jet-set lifestyle. Since she was born, 21-month-old Ava Bailey Quinn has barely left her mum’s side – which means she’s already been to 38 countries. And with Myleene enjoying huge success across the Atlantic as co-host of the US version of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, the toddler’s list of playmates would make a Hollywood agent green with envy.

Matt Damon, Ben Stiller, Leona Lewis and Angelina Jolie all love her and even Simon Cowell loves her enough to let her run around in his white-walled mansion in LA,” reveals Myleene. “She’s been on P. Diddy’s yacht and I’ve got a picture of her boarding a private jet and walking up the steps. “She’s met Enrique Iglesias three times and he talks to her in Spanish. And she sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Andrew Lloyd Webber.”

Myleene, 31, now in Costa Rica filming I’m A Celebrity, reveals she has been dubbed the J-Lo of the Jungle by the show’s cast and crew because of her growing backside. She laughs: “I’m eating more than ever before out here. My arse is growing at a rate of knots.

John Salley, a former basketball player who is a contestant on the show, said ‘there’s beauty in the booty!’. I guess people can just call me Leenie from the Block.”

But after appearing in a line-up of supermodels for Marks and Spencer ads, Myleene has the self-confidence to appreciate her curvy body. She says: “My body’s not perfect by Elle Macpherson standards, but I love it.”

Busy Myleene, who first shot to fame as a member of pop band Hear’Say, has launched children’s clothing line Baby K, and is in talks to appear in another two American TV shows. “It’s amazing how things have gone,” says Myleene, worth a reported £7.5million. But it all leaves little time for fiancé Graham Quinn, who she calls Gray – or their chances of giving Ava a longed-for brother or sister. With security boss Graham away on long assignments, often their only contact is by text or email. But Myleene says: “I think it works because it’s all about quality time when we are together.”

After two years of being engaged, Myleene has come round to the idea of a wedding. She says: “I think we’ll elope and get it over with. Our lives are bonkers, but we’ll get there.”

But with her mum’s bonkers life will Ava grow up to be an LA party girl? “Oh my God, no way. “I don’t want her to be the Paris Hilton of the future.”

I’m A Celebrity… USA is on Monday to Thursday at 7pm on ITV2.

Spice Girl Geri Halliwell’s emergency landing in Sidmouth couple’s back garden!

June 22nd, 2009

It sounds as though Geri Halliwell and her daughter Bluebell had a bit of a mare last week on a helicopter ride to Devon.

I hear Geri’s charming boyfriend Henry Beckwith was flying the chopper to his parents’ country pile when he was forced to make an emergency landing in the back garden of Sidmouth residents Tony and Marilyn Barlow.

Marilyn tells me: “They were lovely and down to earth. And Bluebell said she wanted to live at our house.”

The group then took a cab the rest of the way. Safer!

Gary Linekar’s all set for a ‘quiet’ stag do……

June 22nd, 2009

Footie Legend Gary Lineker’s stag do before his nuptials to Danielle Bux sounds kinda dull if you ask me.

His pals organising the event have been given a list of dos and don’ts for the trip at the end of the month. A pal of Gary’s reveals: “He’s told all the guys that under no circumstances are they to organise strippers at his stag do – they’re banned!

“He doesn’t want tacky lapdancers covered in whipped cream or any other sleazy antics. Instead, he’s suggested a day on the golf course. It’s a bit of a disappointment to some of the lads but they are going along with it.”

My mole goes on to say the wedding’s to be held in the Italian resort of Portofino – where the Rooneys were wed last year. They add: “Danielle’s been telling her mates that whatever happens, she doesn’t want people thinking she’s copying Wayne and Coleen’s do.

“She’s been saying she only chose the same place because it’s so beautiful. But secretly everyone knows she’s lapping up the idea of becoming an official WAG!”

Good luck to them both!

Rachel Stevens and Alex Bourne have a restaurant bust up – but the wedding’s still on…..

June 22nd, 2009

Is there trouble in paradise for former S Clubber Rachel Stevens and her handsome fiancé Alex Bourne?

The couple are due to be married later this year but I hear they had a blazing row at Joe Allen restaurant in Covent Garden on Wednesday night.

My mole witnessed the row and tells me: “They were both very angry and things got very heated. Rachel was clearly upset. She got up and said, ‘That’s it’ and turned on her heel and marched out.
Alex left shortly afterwards.”

Hilariously Jerry Springer was on a nearby table. Sounds like an episode of his show! Fortunately a spokeswoman for Rach tells me the pair have smoothed things over now – they even sent their wedding invites out last week!

On The Grapevine……

June 22nd, 2009

*Jenny Frost had choice words about the rumoured Atomic Kitten “reunion” at the Bruno premiere this week. Asked about re-forming she said: “I read about it in the paper – but I’d rather eat my own kidney with a spoon!”

*Who had the X Factor in Nice this week? I hear couples Dannii Minogue and Kris Smith and Cheryl Cole and hubby Ashley both enjoyed a break in the South of France separately. Just because you work together doesn’t mean you have to play together.

*Is there something Steve Jones isn’t telling us? I only ask because numerous sources tell me the T4 bike has been mouthing off that he’s leaving the Channel 4 show for “bigger ventures”. Get him!

*Dave Berry, Rick Edwards and the adorable Sarah Cawood turned out to watch a screening of Ghostbusters – which is 25 years old! To celebrate, the flick is now re-mastered on Blu-Ray and on sale now!

Matt Willis and Emma Griffiths welcome baby Isabelle!

June 22nd, 2009

Congrats to Matt Willis and Emma Griffiths who welcomed their first daughter into the world on Saturday at 9.05pm.

I caught up with Ems last week over a curry and she was looking forward to the arrival big style. I was slightly bemused by Matt’s choice of name though. Emma told me: “He wants to call it Dude – whether it’s a boy or a girl.”

Fortunately Emma took charge and the baby is called Isabelle Catherine Willis. How refreshing to see a celebrity couple not naming their child after a fruit!
