Bingo Hideout asks, Peter Andre - out of the frying pan into the fire?
- 06 Apr 10
The girlies in the Bingo Hideout office are mortified that there are news stories linking Peter Andre with yet another tabloid drama queen. Fresh from his stint being dragged through the media mire with his ex-wife Katie Price it now would seem if press stories are true that the glutton for punishment could be seeing Kerry Katona. If this were true then it would make a statement that Peter Andre made to The News of The World totally laughable: “OK, OK, I’m desperate for sex. It’s been a long time. But it’s a whole new ball game. I’m a different man, I want a different type of girl. I’m definitely cautious about women now.
Nasty whiff of trouble
Not that they team at Bingo Hideout have anything against Kerry Katona of course, but Kerry can actually makes Peter Andre’s ex-wife look both stable and a good parent which is a pretty difficult task for any woman to manage. Kerry Katona may look a little less worse for wear than usual since ditching the rather toxic Mark Croft, but unfortunately controversy follows the ex-Atomic kitten around like a bad smell. Of course this pairing is just media speculation at the moment and comes after Kerry has been seen at two of Peter Andre’s concerts, she has also very publicly defended him in the press and because the pair are now single and Katona is now under the same management as Peter Andre. This does not mean that they are officially an item but evidence is pointing in the right direction for the media frenzy to start.
Bingo Hideout should be matchmakers
For Katie Price the thought of her ex being with Katona must smart more than a little as there is no love lost between the two women. Katie Price, according to the Sun is already saying that the pair will likely become an item, and if Andre wants to play games with Katie Price (as she has undoubtedly been doing with him) then maybe he should very publicly announce a relationship with Katona. Light the blue touch paper and stand well back though Peter because sparks from this particular firework could be very dangerous indeed. The Bingo Hideout team wish you well Peter in the lvoe stakes but the girls in the office think they should help you choose a suitable partner as your history of finding a suitable long term mate seems a little impaired. We do expect to read reports of a possible pairing with Britney Spears and Courtney Love next!
Bingo Hideout’s Charlotte mourning as Ricky Martin comes out
- 30 Mar 10
There is one person in the Bingo Hideout reeling from the news that Ricky Martin has announced that he is gay and proud – poor old Charlotte! In complete denial for years, even though Ricky is clearly as camp as Christmas she has asserted that all the media speculation over Ricky Martin’s private life was just the press with their collective knives out, well who was right and who was wrong now Char! The reason for the delay in Ricky announcing the ‘shock’ news of his homosexuality was apparently down to pressure from the industry, with the belief that ‘coming out’ could damage his career.
Bingo Hideout team are split about Farmville on Facebook
- 26 Mar 10
Bingo Hideout read with interest that Farmville will be getting its own site as an offshoot of its current Facebook app. The guys in the Bingo Hideout office are all big facebook nuts, and there is nothing like a bit of social networking in the lunch break (or a snatched 5 minutes when the boss isn’t looking) to make you feel that you are connected to all your friends and family far and wide. There are half of the Bingo Hideout team that are deeply committed to FarmVille and get animated if anyone tries to tell them how ridiculous it is for adults to be playing such a childish game. The other half of the Bingo Hideout office are very firmly in the anti-FarmVille camp, and bemoan the constant blight on their wall of updates that are so ridiculous that they have even threatened to hide the offending friends who are the ‘guilty’ parties.
Bingo Hideout speculates Kerry Katona suitable to play Katie Price?
- 25 Mar 10
The Bingo Hideout team are not surprised that Katie Price is back in the news once more. This time if it’s not her new husband Alex Reid blabbing to a close friend that he now knows how poor Pete felt, then its media speculation of ‘Katie’ – the big buster movie of Katie aka Jordan’s shambolic life and many loves. Katie Price has even been rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood A list elite at an Oscar’s party, where possibly she has been eyeing up possible candidates to take on such a challenging role.
Bingo Hideout sob their way through Married Single Other
- 23 Mar 10
All the Bingo Hideout pals stayed in this evening to watch the latest episode of Married Single Other on ITV, and my goodness Kleenex shares must have gone through the roof if the amount of soggy tissues we have all gone through are anything to go by. You would think it was just the girlies that are sobbing into frayed bits of loo roll, but the guys are just as bad. Luckily we didn’t all watch it together or we would have been howling like a load of she-wolves with mascara smudged eyes (and that’s just the guys!). No we all watched Married Single Other in our own respective homes forgoing the opportunity to grab a swift half or a few games of bingo at the local Mecca, to catch up with the goings on at the heart breaking drama.
Bingo Hideout love the Eastenders soap spoliers
- 18 Mar 10
All the gang in the Bingo Hideout office are great Eastenders fans, and all are still reeling from Bradley’s shocking death in the live episode of the popular TV soap a few weeks back. In particular the Bingo Hideout girlies were all kind of hoping that some good things would start to happen for the characters in Eastenders, to bring some much needed spring sunshine into our very dull lives. However after seeing some gossip about recent story lines coming up we can say this is probably not going to happen. Whether you like the soap spoilers or not, sometimes they are difficult to resist – a bit like having a loose tooth you have to wobble. After all didn’t we all search google trying to find out who was guilty of killing nasty Archie Mitchell?
Bingo Hideout asks is there really a bug in Uggs
- 04 Mar 10
Do you have Uggs? Well the girls in the Bingo Hideout office are all currently mooching about in Uggs (well if not the real thing then something that looks distinctly similar). For the uninitiated Ugg boots are the trendy sheepskin footwear from Australia that can be seen on female feet up and down the country and with a price tag just shy of £200 they are something of an object of desire. In fact so popular are the Australian Ugg boots that recent International sales figures for the brand reportedly leapt to $39.3million for the last quarter which is almost double.Bingo Hideout backing Harrison’s Law to ban loop corded blinds
- 26 Feb 10
Bingo Hideout are backing Harrison’s Law which aims to ban loop corded blinds after two children sadly died within five days of each other after being entangled in the cords of window blinds. The team in the Bingo Hideout office were saddened to read the recent stories of the two toddler’s who were accidentally killed after getting the cords wrapped around their necks, the first child 3 year old Harrison Joyce and the second just a few days later a 16 month old baby Lillian Bagnall-Lamb. The parents of Harrison have now started a campaign 'Harrison's Law’ to draw attention to the dangers of the cords, and are hopeful that they can put pressure on the government to ban the sale of all loop operated curtains and blinds.
Bingo Hideout at last can say, Cheryl Cole kicks hubby to the kerb !
- 23 Feb 10
Bingo Hideout has refrained from commenting on the whole Cheryl Cole / Ashley Cole saga, in an unprecedented show of restraint the Bingo Hideout team decided to wait until an announcement had been made for fear of getting egg on our faces - as Cheryl is well known as a serial forgiver. Finally today Girls Aloud singer and X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has made it official and announced the much anticipated split from Ashley Cole. It would seem the pop singer and X Factor judge has finally had enough of all the alleged infidelity rumours following her husband around like a bad smell and has called a halt to their relationship. Some people have been speculating for some time that a split was imminent after Cheryls swift visit to Los Angeles after the latest news story broke. Cheryl was also pictured without her wedding ring on and a series of T-shirts with slogans on such as ‘I left my heart in Beverley Hills’, which the press seized upon as evidence of the dire situation that the celebrity couples marriage was in.
Bingo Hideout girls excited to read possibility of Bridget Jones III
- 21 Feb 10
The Bingo Hideout office has been buzzing since hearing that Bridget Jones III may be made. The girls in the office are all massive fans of Bridget Jones Diary, and so it was with much excitement that we read that producers are in negotiations for a third film based on the trials and tribulations of the popular thirty-something ‘singleton’. It is hoped that Renee Zellweger will reprise her Bridget role, though according to some reports in the press there are possible issues regarding Zellweger’s need to gain weight to play the lead character that are hindering a new film being made.
