Another day, another nostalgia induced reunion. This time it’s the ‘Friends’ franchise that’s jumping on the band wagon and heading for the big screen with Friends the movie. It can’t be a cynical move to cash in on the outstanding success of SATC at the box office so we can only assume that after earning $1m an episode, the cash and work has dried up for Joey, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler and Ross.

There’s been talk of a making a film since the show ended in 2004 with not  a lot of action but now it’s all systems go and the gang is set to start work on the motion picture within the next 18 months – and for a few of …

It’s been a few weeks since Beat dipped its toes into the drug addled, diseased world of our favourite pipe cleaner. At the weekend we saw Amy Winehouse back on stage and from what we can make out back allegedly on just about everything she was on before. 

Looking like she’d been dipped in a vat of St Tropez and then spray painted with a can of Rust Orange car paint from Halfords she gave a shambolic Glasters performance before being flown back by helicopter to hospital. She also managed to elbow a fan in the face, and then go back and punch him for either touching her ‘pushed up to within an inch of her chin’ boobs or daring …

It’s time to dust off the Grolsch bottle tops, add some rips to your stonewash denim and get ready for some high pitched screaming because Bros might be joining the comeback circuit.

Matt Goss revealed that Bros could soon be making a comeback in an interview with the Press Association at the premiere of Hellboy III, starring twin brother and Bros drummer Luke.

Apparently Matt, Luke and even Craig Logan, have had a chat and think it could be a plan.  He said, "Being in a band is like being a politician, you’ve got to make sure everyone is happy. But Luke, Craig [Logan] and definitely myself - we’re all up for it.”

"If we can make the numbers work and the …

A few years ago a small drinks brand called Coca Cola released an ill-fated bottled water to the UK.  Dasani it was called and allegedly recycled bog water was its source.   In a country obsessed with water from virgin streams in far flung mountain ranges the thought of paying a quid for a bottle of Thames Water understandably fell flat on its arse despite doing rather well in the US of A.

Ironically, these days the alleged Coke bog water might have been slightly more palatable to the greener, cuddlier and more environmentally sound UK consumer concerned with carbon footprints and plastic bottles in landfill.

Not so David Beckham, the man with more air miles than Buzz Aldrin, more cars than Ford …

No readers, Madge and Guy haven’t been spotted at Wimbledon, or on the public tennis courts of Bayswater dusting off their rackets for the obligatory two weeks of summer tennis, no they are getting divorced.

Let’s face it, divorce has been on the cards pretty much from the minute the ink was dry on their marriage license, but now it seems the end is finally nigh for Madge and Guy ‘s seven year marriage as the show biz pair head to the divorce courts.  Talk about itches, but let’s be frank and fair, seven years in celebland is pretty much ruby anniversary equivalent in real life world where Beat lives.

Rumours of the marriage being on the rocks have refused to go …

Welsh songbird and Dusty Springfield tribute act Duffy was left in tears at the MOJO Honours List Awards last night.  No, it wasn’t another failed attempt by Gavin and Stacey star James Cordon to chat her up it was Bodog’s favourite hell raising punk, the ubiquitous and occasionally snarling Johnny Rotten.

Whether Duffy had been taking full advantage of the free booze at the event is unclear but Duffy thought that hugging Johnny from behind as he was having a backstage chat would be a great idea. Unfortunately Johnny obviously doesn’t take to kindly to being manhandled by attractive blonde singers and promptly broke off the conversation to snarl, “You don’t do that to me.”

Quite, Beat is probably not alone in thinking …

Cursing, swearing, potty-mouth behaviour - here at Bodog Beat we love a bit of it! Nothing turns us on more than a fit bird doing her impression of a truck driver, nay a navvy of yesteryear (minus the tashe and mutton-schops)! We Brits are great at most things but when it comes to the way of the expletive Britannia rules and our stars are coming up trumps.

Take Sienna Miller who can’t have a normal conversation without ‘effing and blinding.’ But then again we don’t mind a bit of posh plummy bird dropping a few ‘buggers’ and ‘bollocks’ here and there!

What we like about Sienna is that she just loses herself in interviews and forgets that the world at large is …

 The Bond film with the dodgy name appears to be jinxed after another on-set accident during the filming of Quantum of Solace. We’ve had the saga involving Mark Ronson pulling out of recording because the allgedly crack-addled Amy Winehouse is too, er too allegedly crack-addled to record anything and now a series of accidents has hit the set – and all this before Friday the 13th tomorrow.

It’s been revealed that Daniel Craig sliced off the top of one of his digits and had to be rushed to hospital near the Pinewood set.

"There was a minor incident on set," Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group spokesman Steve Elzer said. "Daniel injured his hand. He sought medical attention. He was back on …

Aye the lasses can’t seem to get enough of a bad lad, look at Natalie Imbruglia and her new love ex-con American nightclub boss Chris Paciello, who spent seven years behind bars after saying ‘ I do’ to charges of murder and armed robbery in 1993. But the Aussie stunner doesn’t seem to be bothered in the least by his past and said:

"We go out when I’m in LA. He’s sweet and funny, but I don’t want to say any more than that."

It’s probably the total u-turn from ex hubby of five years, Daniel Johns. Never mind Nat maybe you could get new bloke Chris to send a horse’s head over to him if he gets shirty!

But turning a …

After what seems like a week long search it’s finally been revealed  that Cheryl Tweedy Cole is set to replace Sharon Osbourne as the new X-factor judge / mentor / panto dame. The move comes after the Queen of Darkness, and most self important person on TV, threw her rattle out of the pram and quit the show after failing to secure a gazzilion pound pay rise for doing whatever she was already being overpaid for.

Chezza will join ‘judges ‘;  leprechaun Louis Walsh, the self parody that is Simon Cowell and Dannii Minogue, the not very talented but nonetheless fit sister of Kylie. The geordie Girls Aloud hottie will bag a not to be sniffed at £800,000 in the process, …
