McCartney agrees to demolish log cabin

Sir Paul McCartney has agreed to demolish a wooden lodge built without planning permission on his countryside estate.

Rother District Council previously rejected the ex-Beatle's offer to knock down a detached house and two barns in return for being allowed to keep the secluded two-bedroom lodge and a lakeside pavilion at Woodlands Farm, Peasmarsh, in East Sussex.

But today's planning committee meeting heard that Sir Paul has changed his mind.

He intends to demolish the log cabin - subject to a legal agreement being drawn up - and submit a retrospective planning application which would enable him to keep the lakeside pavilion.

Welll... hmmm.. So, um, what about all of those logs?  Seems like a lot of trees were chopped down to make this log cabin.  And, like, WHAT is the big deal, anyway?  Doesn't he live on a few hundred acres??

GO ON, SPOIL YOURSELF..

By Beth Neil

IT you really want to push the boat out, break open a bottle of bubbly - you may need a stiff drink when you get the bar bill.

Pernod Ricard has announced it is launching the most expensive champagne in the world, Perrier Jouet's Belle Epoque.

At £670 a bottle that's not many bubbles for your bucks. Still, if you have money to burn you could buy it by the bucketload.

THE £80 BURGER
SERVED during the black truffle season, stuffed with the best cuts of beef and bursting with the priciest of foie gras, this burger is not your bog standard fast food.

Costing just over £80, the Double Truffle Burger served up at New York's DB Bistro Moderne has made it into the Guinness Book Of World Records for being the most expensive burger in the world.

THE £50,000 EASTER EGG
IT'S seriously bad for your waistline and, if you indulge in this creation from La Maison du Chocolat, it's even worse for your wallet.

The £50,000 diamond encrusted Easter egg went on sale earlier this year.

Made in Paris over three weeks, a chef in London melted small sections in order to place the gems around the outside of the Diamond Stella Egg.

THE £679,000 PEN
FEATURING more than 1,000 diamonds, crystal panels and a platinum body, the Peace Pen is certainly pretty swanky.

But would you pay £679,000 just to write a letter? Best to pick up a Biro instead.

Um. Yum?  That champagne with that awesome chocolate egg?  Sounds like a great Sunday afternoon to me!

LACEY THROWS UP AT GREASE BASH

Eva Simpson & Caroline Hedley

THOSE EastEnders like a drink or two - just ask boozy babe Lacey Turner.

The 18-year-old, who plays feisty Stacey Slater, got so trolleyed she was sick on the stairs at a London party.

Even Z-listers Jodie Marsh and Rick Parfitt Junior looked horrified at the Grease bash on Tuesday.

Our mole says: "We had to walk around Lacey as she threw up." How's your head, Lacey?

okay, I love this story for soo many reasons.  First of all, who knew the term "trolleyed" meant drunk?  TOTALLY new word to work into your vocab.

Secondly, this little actress is only freakin' 18 years old and she's already being stalked by the paps?  I have no idea who she is and she could literally bite my ankle before I knew, but yet, I still am entertained by her "trollied" state!  Poor thing.

KATE MOSS LANDS LITTLE BRITAIN STAGE ROLE

By Mirror.co.uk

KATE Moss is set to star in the Little Britain stage show - as a shellsuit-wearing pal of teenager Vicky Pollard.

David Walliams persuaded Moss to take on the role after she and boyfriend Pete Doherty went to see the show.

"I've known Kate socially for a little while and she and Pete came to our show one night and liked it," he told a London newspaper today.

"So we thought, let's be cheeky and see if we can convince her and she was up for it.

"The thing about Kate is that she's funny in her own right so we think it'll be brilliant.

"It'll be a speaking role but I don't want to give too much away. When you see her and what she'll be wearing and doing, it'll be a big surprise."

He added: "Kate has natural comic talent. It's just that most people don't know it because they see her in pictures and beautiful people aren't allowed to be funny. But I know she's going to
be great. It's a real coup and we're absolutely chuffed."

OKAY!

more new vocab words!  We'll be "chuffed?"

And, um, hello.. beautiful people can TOTALLY be funny!  All of my friends are gorgeous AND hilarious.  Duh.

" I Am SOOOO Funny!"

OKAY!  So.. more news later... that's just a teaser.

xoxo!
