CUDDLING on the beach last month, movie hunk GERARD BUTLER and girlfriend Morgan Brown looked every bit the loved-up Hollywood couple. But six weeks is a long time in Tinseltown — and I can reveal that the romantic trip to Mexico marked the beginning of the end for their romance. Friends say the Scottish actor, star of blockbusters including 300 and P.S. I Love You, had whisked Morgan away on the “make or break” trip after their relationship hit a rocky patch. And after struggling to make things work, the couple have now called it a day. A pal said: “Gerry just isn’t ready to settle down. He thought Morgan might have been the right person at the right time but it wasn’t to be. “He’s told his friends he just couldn’t commit. Gerry loves Morgan but it wasn’t working. “He has been away filming and he thought it would be better if they went their separate ways. They went away to Mexico to see if it would work out but they … [Read more...]

EASTENDERS has been accused of not having enough explosive storylines in the past year, instead choosing to concentrate on tales about bins and driving lessons. But that is all about to change. I’m told show bosses have planned a huge stunt that will see at least one character die in a gas blast in the coming weeks and leave others fighting for their lives. It will take place at the Walford In Bloom event, a big community shindig planned to take place in Albert Square, with a whole range of key characters present. When the mayor turns up amid the flower displays, things get a bit heated and then a huge explosion goes off, catching everyone off guard and leaving a lot of them in a bad way. A source said: “It’s a bold stunt and has taken months of planning. “It’ll trigger a load of other storylines off the back of it, but the explosion itself will be a major talking point. “Viewers will be left wondering whether it was set off on purpose or by … [Read more...]

TAYLOR Swift fans are freaking out after cracking the code to when her new music might be out. The Bad Blood hitmaker perplexed her 83.5 million Twitter followers when she posted a cryptic video of a snake on Monday night. Fans initially wondered if her account had been hacked, after Taylor went offline and deleted all of her tweets and photos four days ago.

THE Tattoo Fixers were visited by a famous face this week as a member of Blazin’ Squad showed up looking for an upgrade to his tatt. No, the star wasn’t group member Marcel Somerville, who shot to fame on Love Island this year, but Oliver Georgiou aka Freek.
