Ashley Cole and Cheryl Tweedy are to star in a Newlyweds-style documentary together.

The couple have been followed by cameras since they tied the knot last month, for a six-part series which will air on ITV1 in November.

A source said: "The series is taking four months to film - and will show how romantic Ashley is. And fans will be able to see how down-to-earth the couple are. They're just a couple of ordinary people living amazing lives.

"They've accepted there will be embarrassing bits, but they're happy to show what goes on in their day-to-day world as the new Posh and Becks."

A source close to the star said, "Warrington will always have a special place in Kerry's heart. She feels this is the ideal chance for her to help the town she loves."

Resident Geoff Whelan added, "Kerry is a good ambassador for Warrington. She is popular here. The area needs a kick up the backside and if Kerry wants to spend her money doing that - then good luck to her."

Alex Curran Arrested After Brawl

Fiancée of Steven Gerrard and fully signed up member of the Wags Alex Curran has been arrested after an alleged brawl outside a Liverpool restaurant.

The sometime fashion columnist was reportedly involved in a fight between a group of men and women at the Shangri-La restaurant in the early hours of this morning.

The 23-year-old mother-of-two had been enjoying a night out with the Liverpool FC captain and two friends, but Gerrard had left the restaurant at the time of the alleged fight.

An 18-year-old woman is said to have sustained a black eye. Her friend told the Liverpool Echo: "It was horrible. We were just having a meal after a night out and there was a fight in the restaurant.

"My mate stood up and started screaming for them to stop fighting and one of the blokes came over to her and was really abusive. He was swearing and ranting and knocked her bag off the table.

"A couple of seconds later someone came over and shoved a bottle in her face."

A spokeswoman for Merseyside Police said: "We have arrested a 23-year-old woman, from Formby, on suspicion of assault.

"The arrest follows an incident at the Shangri-La restaurant on Victoria Street during the early hours of this morning."

A spokeswoman for Alex Curran, who has been released on bail, said: "This is now a matter for the police and we cannot make any further comment at this stage."

Gerrard and Curran have been engaged since 2004 and plan to marry next summer.

Keanu Stopped By Cops at LAX

Keanu Reeves was pulled over by Airport Police at Los Angeles International Airport today for a traffic violation, but escaped with only a warning.

It's not the biggest crime in the world certainly, but anything that goes down at airports these days is eventful. Reeves was pulled over for allegedly violating California Vehicle Code 21453(a) -- failing to stop at a signal or, in common parlance, blowing a red light. It happened at 3:00 p.m. PT. The cop did not issue a citation and let Reeves go with a warning.

It's unclear what the "Matrix" star was doing at the airport, although we know he was on the upper level which is for departing passengers.

A rep for Reeves could not be reached for comment.

Loaf So Keen To Do Who

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-08-13 - 13:56:41

Meatloaf is such a huge fan of Doctor Who he wants a part in the new series.

The singer has been hooked on the exploits of the Timelord for years. He has been particularly taken by Russell T Davies' radical new approach to the show.

Meat, real name Marvin Lee Aday, is no stranger to acting, having starred in 50 films, most famously opposite Brad Pitt in Fight Club.

And now, the chap has set his sights on tackling new doctor David Tennant in the hit show.

Another Hot Paris Night

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-08-13 - 13:51:25

Nicole Richie famously said: "Paris Hilton could only ever love somebody like herself."

So it's no surprise that the 25-year-old Twit Girl was inseparable from fellow plastic, blonde porn star Jenna Jameson during a night out at LA's Hyde nightclub.

But it looked as if the heir head was a little bit too in love with Dave Navarro's new arm candy. The saucy pair held hands, dirty danced and then made a cabbie's night by canoodling in the back of his taxi.

Looks like there could be an interesting sequel to One Night In Paris in the pipeline.

Singer James' Fear For Sick Dad

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-08-13 - 13:46:22

James Morrison's dad is a penniless drunk who lives in squalor. Paul Catchpole walked out on James' mum Suzy when the talented singer was still just a young boy.

And after being tracked down he admitted that every day is an uphill struggle to try to beat the bottle.

He also revealed his now famous son has been calling him every other day - to check that his dad is still alive.

Eyes glazed and swaying from side to side in the doorway to his flithy one-bed flat, Paul said: "It always cheers me up when James rings. I love hearing what he's up to - especially as I don't get out much any more. Things really aren't good for me healthwise at the moment. I'm in a real bad way."

Former handyman Paul's health problems have been caused by years of alcohol abuse. He has tried desperatley to get a grip on it and millionaire-in-waiting James, whose debut album Undiscovered has become a No.1 hit has never lost hope that his dad will turn his life around.

Neighbours say they never see James, 21, who moved to Cornwall with his mum when Paul walked out. The star, who was born James Morrison Catchpole but now uses Morrison as his surname, lives in London. His single You Give Me Something has become a massive hit.

Sienna A Bag Lady

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-08-13 - 13:35:32

Sienna Miller could escape the terror crisis this weekend as she jetted out of Britian from Heathrow Airport. But the 24-year-old was all smiles as she went along with the tightened security procedures.

Like everyone else, she found she had to swap her handbag for a see-through plastic carrier. The actress was believed to have been flying back to Canada where she has been filming new comedy Camille alongside hunk James Franco.

Luckily, her flight was not one of the ten long-haul journeys cancelled from Heathrow yesterday as staff struggled to cope with the increased baggage checks.
