Home > Drama > Corrie stars sing for charity single, and Stephanie Beacham doesn’t foresee a cobbles return January 16th, 2012 by Sarah. No comments Several of the members of Corrie’s cast joined campaigners from Project Underdog last Friday to record the charity’s new single. The Project supports youngsters in inner-city areas by involving them in making music and participating in sports. Last year, the charity released a cover version of Linkin Park’s hit, Iridescent. The Sun reports that this year, the new single will feature the voices of Corrie stars Chris Fountain , Ryan Thomas, Lisa George, Catherine Tyldesley , Georgia May Foote, Ian Puleston-Davies and Peter Gunn, who volunteered their time to the charity. In other Weatherfield news, Stephanie Beacham has revealed that although she loved her short stint on Corrie playing Ken Barlow’s (Bill Roache) bit on the side, Martha Fraser, she doesn’t see how her character could return to the cobbles… Speaking to the PA, Step...

Gok Wan convinces Sheridan Smith to strip off and get her boobs out for charity! (PICTURES!)

Home > Entertainment > Gok Wan convinces Sheridan Smith to strip off and get her boobs out for charity! (PICTURES!) September 6th, 2011 by Lisa McGarry. No comments Sheridan Smith has always seemed like the kind of girl who’d be game for a laugh and she proved it this week, when she stripped off in front of a large crowd. The Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps actress was at a fundraising event with Channel 4 ‘How To Look Good Naked’ host Gok Wan, when he convinced her to strip down into just her pants and stockings, in front of the venue’s audience. Onlookers say the star was ‘mortified’ at having to take off her elegant black dress at Sunday night’s West End Bares fund-raiser, but did it in good spirits after being coaxed by Gok. After more than £35,000 was raised for the HIV/Aids charity the Make A Difference Trust at the high profile event, Sheridan took to Twitter to admit her embarrassment, saying: “I will never forgive @therealgokwan for making me flash my fat a*...

Emmerdale: Cain Dingle will try to kill Charity!

Home > Soaps > Emmerdale: Cain Dingle will try to kill Charity! March 2nd, 2011 by Lisa McGarry. No comments It has been revealed that ‘Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle will try to kill ex-fiancee Charity Tate when he flies into a jealous rage. The village bad boy – played by Jeff Hoardley – tricks his former flame into meeting him at a hotel and when their heart-to-heart is interrupted by a porter bearing a gift Charity (Emma Atkins) has bought for new man Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson), Cain sees red and pounces on his ex-lover. Jeff said: “There’s quite a personal note with the present and Cain wants to know why she never wrote stuff like that for him. “Charity throws a flippant comment back and a red mist comes down. In a moment of craziness, he pushes a pillow over her face. He thinks, ‘If I can’t have you, nobody else can’, but thankfully he realises what he’s doing just in time.” Cain’s rage comes after an evening of revelations between the pair. Jeff revealed: “Cain pushes Charity a...

Celebrity Apprentice has a winner, raised $3.1 million for charity, but falls flat in its final hours

It was the most dramatic The Celebrity Apprentice season ever and the least dramatic finale, which ended with Donald Trump giving John Rich the win for no clear reason. Marlee Matlin was not fired, nor did Trump “hire” John Rich, perhaps an acknowledgement of their status as virtual equals, or perhaps just discarding terminology that makes no sense with the celebrity edition of the show. Despite the confetti, it was an oddly flat and abrupt ending to what has been the franchise’s craziest season ever, producing crazy moment after crazy moment , all of which gave us new understanding of the celebrities involved. John Rich’s charity, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, receives $250,000, which brings the season total for fundraising to a TV series record, NBC says, of $3,120,852. Both John Rich and Marlee Matlin visited their charities (she was playing for The Starkey Hearing Foundation) to see their work in action, and also performed a song together, “For the Kids,” which ended wit...

No comments Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle will cheat on Charity Tate after he becomes convinced that she has been unfaithful to him. The pair – played by Jeff Hordley and Emma Atkins – are set to split following Cain’s revenge fling with Faye Lamb (Kim Thomson) when he suspects Charity of sleeping with her boss Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) on an overnight business trip. Jeff said: “He’s been getting very jealous and angry and Charity is winding him up further. He’s not happy about her going away for the night to a hotel with Jai and he doesn’t understand why they’re staying over.” “He decides to go to the hotel with flowers and champagne and asks them to be sent up to Charity’s room. When he finds out there is no room booked under Charity’s name – just one under Jai Sharma who has now checked out – he instantly assumes they’ve had a bit of a fling. So he throws the flowers aw...

Home > Emmerdale > Emmerdale’s Charity Tate could be filthy rich! January 13th, 2011 by Lisa McGarry. No comments Emmerdale’s Charity Tate could be set to achieve all her dreams and become filthy rich. The hard nosed businesswoman – played by Emma Atkins – will see a “massive opportunity” with her loaded boss Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) and will even be prepared to ditch her long-term fiance Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) in the hope of bedding the entrepreneur. Emma explained: “Charity has openly admitted that she finds Jai attractive because of his business acumen and his manner. I do think they both fancy each other, and their banter helps to achieve results “There’s a massive opportunity with Jai, and it’s the biggest thing that she’s been involved in for a long time. Charity has one ultimate ambition: to be rich. Money makes her world go round.” However, Emma’s co-star Chris Bisson thinks his alter-ego’s looming relationship with the blonde temptress is a “recipe for disaster”,...
