English tabloid editors have tipped their bowler hats at their US counterparts by printing some of the best erotic fan fiction we've seen for some time – a breathless blow-by-blow account of Prince Harry's plan to woo Katy Perry by pushing to have her play at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. "Harry has a double reason for targeting Katy. First he thinks she is a rocking artist with great songs. But secondly she is single and very sexy," heavy breathed a source. "He sees this as an opportunity to get close to Katy. And he is confident his charm will win her over." And it appears that she'd be keen, the singer is said to have quite a crush on the prince and has even given him the affectionate nickname of Ginger Ninja. "Although Katy may have ended it with Russell, she still has a soft spot for wild boys," added the very knowledgeable source. Though Palace officials have denounced talk of the prince's predatory plan as pure codswallop – that's English, yeah? – that didn't stop writers from adding a toe-curling climax to their tawdry tale by adding that Harry is "planning a romp in the Palace grounds" after the concert. For British eyes only! [Daily Star, Daily Beast]

Tila Tequila left hospital yesterday following a weeklong stay after a brain aneurysm caused her to take a drug overdose. Word has it that she suffered the aneurysm in the middle of the night and in the resulting confusion and pain downed two bottles of "unspecified" prescription drugs and started convulsing. "Tila threw up all over her bed after overdosing and felt like she was dying. She was screaming for help, and in desperation, broke her bedroom window and attempted to jump out," reported our second well-placed source for the day. "Finally a friend came over after getting a strange text from her and found her convulsing on the bed. He called an ambulance and she was taken to the hospital." It's said that she still has trouble speaking and there are fears she might suffer some permanent brain damage. [Radar]
I'm not really up on the reason behind the Marc Cherry/Nicolette Sheridan on-set fight that resulted in the current court case – because who cares about Desperate Housewives? – but we know that shit went down and he hit her. Well, the boss of the year admits he struck her but is trying to discredit her by saying that it was only a slap and not the "violent hit" she is reporting. As if a gentle slap is perfectly acceptable workplace behaviour. And, with that, let's hope that he loses the case and has to fork out a bankruptable amount of money – but mainly so we can be spared his anymore of his horrible creative output. [TMZ]
Hiding behind a thin veil of religion so you can openly talk shit about the gays by suggesting we will cause the downfall of society as we know it won't win you many non-amoeba friends – especially in entertainment circles. And though the former cast of Growing Pains have come out to say they think Kirk Cameron is a bit of a dick, other celebrities are now jumping in on the action: including, but not limited to Debra Messing, Roseanne and Martha Plimpton. We'll go with Roseanne's Twitter response on this one because she always brings it: "Kirk or kurt or whatever Cameron is an accomplice to murder with his hate speech. So is rick warren. Their peers r killing gays in Uganda." [E!]
Elizabeth Berkley is expecting her first child with husband Greg Lauren and couldn't be happier. "In life there are moments you cherish forever and this is one of them," she said. "Greg and I are so excited to be expecting our first child this summer. We couldn't be more grateful and overjoyed." While I couldn't be happier for her, I'm especially grateful for the Showgirls-related memes I hope her pregnancy creates. [People]
