It’s no secret that Charlotte Crosby has had a difficult time over last month with the revelation of her ectopic pregnancy and shock exit from Geordie Shore, so we’re delighted to hear the star is back making plans for the future.

In an interview with OK! Charlotte revealed that she’d love to follow in Vicky Pattison’s footsteps and enter the I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! jungle.

But while admitting that being part of the show would be “absolutely amazing”, she’s not sure she’d be able to cope with the show’s famous challenges as well as her former co-star did.

She said: “I don't think I'd do as well in the tasks as what Vicky did man…it was like nothing phased her.”

“Like I couldn't be travelling over them snakes as if it's just a b****y stick – I’d be full on screaming.”

And speaking of challenges, Charlotte – who recently arrived in Sydney- told OK! that she has a new screening process in mind for any potential love interests.

“I think I'll have a series of tests for any future boyfriends, I think after this phone call I'm gonna write them all down like tricky little tests I can give each one to see if they'll pass them.”
 
“Say if I'm away and I'm meant to be going to see them and I'm like I can't do it, I've got to be in London, see if they're like, 'Oh I'll come to London’, stupid little things like that.”

Given her complicated on-screen relationship with Gary Beadle, we think Charlotte's new plan sounds like a very good idea.

Mariah Carey is known for her diva-like nature – and now we get to see it all on camera.

The singer is filming her own reality TV series about the behind-the-scenes drama of her Las Vegas residency and her two-month European tour, reveals Us Weekly.

“Mariah’s excited to show some personal family moments,” says the pal. “It’ll definitely show another side to her.

“Her manager is a reality TV producer and got her the deal,” says a second source.

We can only guess this will be one jam-packed reality show and Mariah will be brilliant to watch on camera.

Let's just hope she doesn't go too over the top!

Peter Andre is taking a big leap with his career this year as he has revealed he's quitting the showbiz scene.

The singer turned reality star wants to open up a chain of restaurants (surprise, surprise). He already has a chain of coffee shops in the UK, but wants to expand beyond that.

"I've enjoyed having my coffee shops (New York Coffee Club) but now I'm ready to do something a bit bigger," he told OK! Online.

"I know it's a risk, but I'm very excited about it. I love food and I love people."

He also said that he is not going to appear on anymore reality shows (which we can only see lasting a little while).

"I think I'm done now. I was scared to do Strictly because I knew technically I wasn't a brilliant dancer… But now I think I'd rather watch TV!"

We can't wait to hear more about his new restaurant venture. Will it play Mysterious Girl on repeat? Who knows..

If you watched Come Dine With Me last night, you were no doubt left running behind the couch to shelter from the awkwardness that was Peter's final scene.

After serving up a five-course dinner to his three guests, poor Peter was astounded that he didn't win the £1,000 (€1,360) grand prize – and he didn't make a secret of it.

In this clip he's seen taking strips off the actual winner, Jane, saying she "ruined" his night intentionally.

"Enjoy the money, I hope it makes you very happy. Dear lord, what a sad little life Jane," he said after realising who had won.

"You ruined my night completely just so you could have the money. 

"I hope now you will spend it on getting some lessons in grace and decorum because you have all the grace of a reversing dump trunk without any tyres on.

Take your money and get off my property."

OUCH. Needless to say, the show's ending sparked a fair bit of uproar on Twitter:

As for Peter, he's since blocked his Twitter account – so it doesn't seem like we'll be hearing from him any time soon.

It may be November – and it have been rainy Newcastle – but that certainly didn't stop reality TV star Chloe Ferry from stepping out in seriously daring attire.

Enjoying a night on the town with her Geordie Shore colleagues as they filmed segments for the hit show's 12th series, the 21-year-old smiled warmly as she made her way to a waiting taxi.

Also in tow were Holly Hagan – clad in a plunging red V-neck top and black skater skirt – as well as Charlotte Crosby, who opted for a teal lace crop top from Topshop and classic black trousers.

Understandably, the trio turned heads, although snaps of Ms Ferry getting cosy with brand new cast-member Martin McKenna REALLY got everyone talking. 

Earlier this week, it was reported that Chloe and BFF Marnie Simpson had been spotted fighting in the street in Newcastle – all because of dashing Martin. 

Heatworld.com even said that duo came to actual blows over their love-interest, also a one-time star of Ex On The Beach.

We thought she'd never step back into the Jersey Shore, the place that made her (kinda) famous, but Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is going back down to the beach.

This time though, it's not for pleasure as the reality star will feature in a new show called Nicole and Jionni's Shore Flip. Intrigued? Yep, so are we. 

The show will follow the party girl-turned-mother and her husband as they buy, renovate and sell houses on the Jersey Shore, FYI has revealed.

The show is already in production and is scheduled to premiere in early 2016. 

"Millennials have grown up with Nicole, and we're excited to now partner with her and Jionni as they start their first business flipping homes together," FYI's Gena McCarthy said.

"With Nicole's crafty and creative ideas and Jionni's background as a contractor and builder, this series combines renovation, design, and family comedy in a unique docuseries approach to the home makeover genre."

It's not all fun and games in the reality TV world; something that Lauren Pope has come to understand. 

The Essex native has recently revealed that she was "pushed out" of reality TV show, TOWIE by the other women taking part and claims that she was frozen out of the TOWIE social circle too.

The 33-year-old, who quit the program after five years, has admitted that she was heavily mocked on the last series of the show.

The DJ told the Mirror Online: "They took the mick out of the way I look and did impressions of my face – stuff like that. I'd rather they picked on my personality because you can't change the way you look.

"There was a small group of girls and they all followed one another by sharing one common dislike – me. I suppose it's easy when you're in a group to just find one girl to pick on and make her your target.

But even though Lauren claims they mocked her, she also said that she didn't feel like she was bullied, just left out.

"I didn't feel bullied as such but they did make me feel really uncomfortable. It was like being back at school. I felt pushed out, particularly last series. I didn't feel part of that social circut."

Ms Pope had to keep her exit from TOWIE a secret for several weeks, which she said was particularly difficult to keep from her loyal fans.

"It's been really hard because TOWIE has some hardcore fans. They've been tweeting me and I haven't been able to respond," the reality star said. 

But it's not all bad news for the blonde beauty as she has recently hired new management and has also launched Hair Rehab London Academy. 

"TOWIE was a huge part of my life and leaving was a scary decision but I wanted to take a step back and work on my business because all of this could end at any minute."

He was the cutie from Derry – who went on to reach the finals of 2008's X Factor. Indeed, he finished third behind only Alexandra Burke and runners-up JLS.

And while Eoghan Quigg made an unsuccessful bid to represent Ireland at last year's Eurovision (not to mention a disastrous solo album offering early 2009) he's otherwise been absent from the music scene.

Still, here at SHEmazing! we were delighted to stumble upon his Instagram account – a platform on which he boasts some 6,000 followers.

There, the now 23-year-old shares snap-shots from his life – and it seems that he's a lover of football, working out, and tattoos.

And while back in the day he courted PLENTY of attention from the ladies (not to mention a certain fellow X Factor contestant Diana Vickers) it doesn't seem that the former singer has anyone special in his life right now.

Form an orderly queue, folks!

A sleek fitted jacket and figure-hugging leather pants… Not everyone would have the confidence to step out in such a daring look, but Lauren Goodger is clearly loving her new svelte shape.

The reality star stunned fans yesterday when she posted an outfit snap to Instagram, showing her ex-boyfriend Jake McLean just what he's missing.

Lauren, 29, made the decision to start losing weight in February after pictures of her in a bikini on holidays in Egypt made it to the papers.

Unhappy with how she looked, the TOWIE star threw herself into a tough exercise regime and a cleaner diet – and her determinaton has paid off.

Since February she's shed over 3st, going from a size 16 to a size 10 while still keeping her curves.

"'I’m not trying to look skinny," Lauren said back in June. 

"I want to look fit and have people say, 'She worked her a*** off!'"

Despite her "strong not skinny" ethos, the slim star came under fire earlier this month when she accidentally posted a tweet about anorexia.

The tweet, which read "Yeah team anorexic," was intended as a direct message for her brother Tony, and Lauren says the whole thing was just a silly joke.

"We've got a private joke about me being able to slip under the door soon because I'll be that slim," she explained.

"It was a really, really stupid thing to write because as you know I'm not a fan of skinny."

Now into an unprecedented 11th series of their family's mega-hit reality TV show, they are certainly used to having their every move watched and commented upon.

That and brand Kardashian-Jenner is never dormant: from momager Kris to youngest Kylie, they are masters of shameless self-promotion.

It's been a remarkably effective policy: collectively, the family is said to be worth more than a quarter of a billion euro – and that valuation was done before they all launched apps and websites that will rake them in millions every month.

However, in light of Lamar Odom's tragic collapse in a Nevada brothel last week, commentators are becoming increasingly critical of the way in which the six-strong group of glamorous females have been conducting themselves.  

Khloe Kardashian, of course, married the 35-year-old basketball star in 2009 following a whirlwind, one-month long romance. 

They had split by December 2013 and divorce papers were signed in July, but as the documentation has not yet been processed, they remain married in the eyes of the law.

Within hours of Mr Odom’s hospitalisation, Khloe, Kris and 7-months-pregnant Kim had all hopped on a private plane to see him.

According to Radar Online, they had a camera crew in tow, although this was later played down by the family themselves.

“It’s a s*** show,” an unnamed source told the website. “The Kardashians are trying to run everything. They walked into the hospital with cameras rolling.

"It was shocking, but hardly a surprise…They are all crying and pretending like they care.”

Radar Online furthermore claims that fame-shy Lamar was pressurised by Khloe into remaining central to Keeping Up With The Kardashians plotlines – even AFTER the breakdown of their marriage.

Indeed, it was widely reported that the catalyst which finally drove a clearly stressed Mr Odom over the edge was the KUWTK episode which aired a week ago today. 

In it, the viewer is told that Mr Odom’s best friend had died of drug-related causes – he’d called Khloe for consolation, and her side of the conversation was documented on camera.

She later told the show's fans that the death could well cause Lamar "to spiral". “I’m really on high alert for him," she added.

In the same episode, 34-year-old Kim said that the idea of Khloe, 31, still talking to Mr Odom makes her "sick.”

In the aftermath, his response – according to Mail Online – was  to angrily declare that "he was better than the Kardashians. "F*** them," he is reported to have said.

The website goes on to say that the former LA Lakers players ranted that he had been exploited for ratings. "He felt chewed up and spat out," a Mail Online source added.

Even only brother Rob, 28, who has struggled with his weight, has been gradually distancing himself from his mother and sisters. 

For one, he has refused to take part in the family's reality TV show business for close-to two years. Star magazine wrote 18months ago that Kris, 59, had even called him "a fat slob".

She supposedly also told him that as the lowest earner of the Kardashian-Jenner clan he was "losing out on business opportunities because no one wants someone as huge as him representing their products".

"Rob feels that the show has truly ­ruined his family," an additional source told Radar that same month. "He feels very alone."

Heartbreakingly, it has even been said that Kim didn't want Rob at her Italian wedding to Kanye West in May of last year because he was "too fat and ugly for pictures".

Whatever the truth, Mr Kardashian sensationally flew back to LA before his sister and the rap superstar said 'I do'.

As recently as August, Khloe and Lamar met outside a Beverly Hills gym: her camp strongly suggested he was stalking her; he later told TMZ the rendezvous was very much pre-arranged. 

"I am not, not, NOT the person that they are trying to make me out to be," he afterwards stated in a remarkably candid video interview.

He added that it was his time to "fight back," before seemingly issuing a threat to the Kardashians: "If it happens again I'm going to air EVERYTHING out."

The basketball player also explained that his reputation as a drug-user and womaniser was unfair, and that he "doesn't put himself out there" on Twitter and Instagram – unlike the famous family he married into.

Fast forward to this week and although initially his condition looked bleak, Lamar has now thankfully shown signs of improvement. He clearly has a long-road to recovery ahead of him – with the strokes he suffered in hospital being of particular concern.

Meanwhile, the Kardashian family, who of course like to have full control over their own publicity, have been rocked by the incident.

Indeed, they were particularly upset that Dennis Hoff, the owner of the brothel where Mr Odom collapsed, was talking to the media without their consent (and interestingly, reportedly one of the first people on the scene was a 'representative' of Khloe's who was there to 'collect Lamar's personal effects'). 

That they have genuine concern for Mr Odom's well-being is undeniable. Nonetheless, Kris Jenner Inc will also be hoping that her soon-to-be ex son-in-law doesn't, propelled by his near-death experience, follow through on his threats to "air everything out" 

Lamar himself will presumably just be hoping he doesn't have to.

Earlier this year it was announced that Amber Rose and Blac Chyna would be “baring it all” for a reality series that would “focus on [the two women] taking care of their kids while juggling work, including club appearances.”

However last week, not long after the Slut Walk organised by Amber, the show was apparently scrapped.

Originally the rumours were that the show had fallen about as the two women had suddenly decides that they no longer wanted to work together. 

Amber Rose and Blac Chyna’s Reality Show Was Canceled Because Kim Kardashian Made a Phone Call

Apparently, that’s not the entire story. It might be because one of reality TV's most famous faces picked up the phone, and she was none too pleased.

According to Radar Online:

“Kim has spoken to Amber Rose this past weekend. She wanted to let her know that she and Kanye both thought that it took a lot of courage to do what she did and that they are both ready to move on from the drama and start fresh.”

However, the rest of the chat between the two was not as pleasant. An insider has reported:

“Without being able to trash the Kardashians, they just felt like their show does not have much weight any more,” says the source. Meanwhile, the Kardashians were said to be 'thrilled'.

The Kardashians were apparently “living in fear” of the show and all the secrets the two women could potentially expose. But now that it’s been cancelled, plenty of tabloids are waiting for any rumblings surrounding  for Scott Disick’s 'tell-all' instead.

She sensationally quit last year after just 72hours – but Gemma Collins was still said to be desperate to give I’m A Celebrity another go in 2015.

However, her Aussie outback ambitions have now been thwarted: ITV producers have sensationally blocked her from participating.

And they’re citing medical grounds as the reason.

Yes, following the standard psychological screening that all potential contestants partake in, the former Towie star has been deemed “too vulnerable”.

And according to The Sun, she is pretty devastated by their decision.

“Gemma is gutted because she was desperate to give it another go,” a source told the paper.

“She’s in the best shape of her life but docs feared another repeat of last year’s early exit.

“Despite losing weight and brimming with confidence, they felt she still wasn’t strong enough to cope with the demands.

“ITV still want her to be involved with the show in some capacity. They think she’s TV gold.”

Gemma’s brief time in the Celebrity Jungle was characterised by ongoing – and usually totally irrational – fears relating to just about everything.

Indeed, at one point she believed she had contracted malaria and she was often filmed in floods of tears.

In a further blow, it is believed that Ms Collins actually turned down a place on the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother just so she could secure her place on I’m A Celeb.

With Louis Walsh already confirming he’s been chatting to producers about an appearance on the hit show, the potential I’m A Celebrity line-up for 2015 is already looking like one of the strongest yet.

Ant and Dec will, of course, front the show – and it will begin airing on an as-yet unconfirmed date next month.
