Comedian Freddie Starr has been taken to hospital after suffering a severe allergic reaction during his stint on I’m a celebrity….Get me out of here. He will be kept in over night to be closely observed, and to run tests to try demand establish the root of the reaction.
Freddie started to feel sick and unwell after the Greasy Spoon bush tucker trial and doctors were immediately called to assess the 68-year-old condition.
A show spokesperson had said
“The reaction could be due to a spider bite, he might have reacted badly to a leech or a tic, or even a snake he hadn’t noticed.”…..he could have reacted to tree bark or even a leaf….”it’s highly unlikely the reaction is from a bug Freddie had eaten, during his bush tucker trial, but nothing is being ruled out.
Freddie is said to be in good spirits, and keeping the nurses entertained. No news yet if Starr will return to the jungle.
It has just been announced that London has been named as the host of the 2017 World Athletics Championships.
Lord Sebastian Coe, along the rest of the Britain Bid Team were in Monaco to hear the result from the IWF, Which was met with major jubilation.Following a vote of the 26 members of the International Association of Athletics Federations Council, London beat Doha to the prize.
This means that the new stadium in East London will Definately keep its athletic track in place, and not be used just as a football stadium after the 2012 Olympic Games, that will be held there next year, as was originally thought.
Billy Crystal, will present the 2011, Academy Awards, replacing Eddie Murphy, who was originally booked for the post.
The announcement follows days of drama at the academy after producer Brett Ratner last week used the gay slur “fags” at a screening of his movie “Tower Heist,” which stars Murphy.
Murphy was hand picked by Rather, but now both will no longer be a part of the 2012 awards telecast. Producer Grazer was brought in, and despite efforts to bring Murphy back, it seems to no avail. Grazer then turned to Crystal as one of the ceremonies most popular hosts.
Crystal broke the news on his Twitter account, “Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up prescriptions. Looking forward to the show.” He tweeted earlier tiday.
It will be Billy’s ninth time in the top job, his last stint was back in 2004.

**De’Vide**
De’ Vide consists of two musicians, Lexi Lex & Barny Holmes. Lex DJs and MCs around the UK and Europe, and has just finished a summer tour on the Zante club scene. He has written and performed his own hip-hop and R&B music for many years as a solo artist. Barny is studying fine art at University in Norwich, has been in various bands and projects and is currently in a number of bands with genres ranging from, Funk & Acoustic to Heavy Rock. The two met in 2010, and after hearing each others talent, they decided to fuse their individual sounds into one unique style, a fusion of Hip-Hop-Indie-Soul.
From then De’ Vide was born.
I would describe their sound as a ‘crisp fusion of Hip-hop, R&B, Indie and Soul with an acoustic Funk edge .
Their live show is one to see, Barney’s guitar talent and vocals are outstanding, and the crowd pleasing talents,and clever lyrics of Lexi Lex are second to none.
De’Vide have gained an amazing amount of support in quite a short time,and are already doing things big.
In February 2011 they came an amazing second place in the Choice FM competition to support Ne-yo & Trey songz at the o2 arena. with only a tiny percentage of votes behind the winner. In October 2011 they were interviewed and featured on BBC Radio 1Xtra, their track “To & Fro” was selected as the Homegrown Download of the week and placed on the 1Xtra Itunes podcast.
Right now they’re working on an EP with music producer Jammy, whose work is fast attracting the attention of big artists and labels from all over the globe.
