SEXY FRIENDS
Sarah Jessica Parker has denied rumours that she did not get on with her co-stars in the Sex And The City film.

It follows reports suggesting the 43-year-old actress does not speak to fellow actress Kim Cattrall and that they try to avoid each o
ther.

But during an interview with Jonathan Ross, Parker insisted she "loved those women".

FILTH ON TV

Crusading campaigner Mary Whitehouse, who embarked on a one-woman mission to clean up British television, will be played by Julie Walters in a new BBC drama.

Filth: The Mary Whitehouse Story will bring to life the battle for morals that raged in the 1960s, the BBC said. Hugh Bonneville will star as BBC director-general Sir Hugh Carleton Greene, whom Whitehouse held largely responsible for the moral collapse of the country.

ROYAL VISIT

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh travelled to Turkey last week for their first state visit in more than 30 years.

The Queen described the nation as a "bridge between East and West at a crucial time for the European Union". It is hoped the Queen's visit will strengthen ties between the two nations and help Turkey on its way to EU membership.

CHERIE UNDER FIRE

Critics have called for Cherie Blair to step down from her position as a judge because her candid memoirs "demean the legal profession".

In her autobiography, released last week, the wife of the former prime minister makes several high-profile revelations, including criticisms of Gordon Brown.

She has hit back at the criticism and said she would never resign from her position as a QC and part-time judge.

VETTRIANO ONLINE

Jack Vettriano has beaten the dealer by setting up his own website to sell his paintings. The artist unveiled a new site last week including several never-before-seen works.

Currently none of the artist's works are for sale, although bids are being taken for Olympia, a portrait of Zara Phillips he painted on behalf of Sport Relief. The website is www.jackvettriano.com

NOT A BARD LOT

A collection of works by the man dubbed "the world's worst poet" sold for more than £6,000 at auction today.

William McGonagall, a weaver in Dundee, gained the unwanted label for his uninspiring verse.

A collection of 35 of his poems, sold by a private collector, fetched £6,600 when they went under the hammer at Lyon and Turnbull in Edinburgh on Friday.
