Mel B, Stephen Belafonte, Boring, Name, Phoenix, Angel

Pregnant Mel B has said she finds husband Stephen Belafonte's choice of names for their new arrival 'boring' and will probably come up with one herself.

The former Spice Girl, who has daughters Phoenix, 12, and four-year-old Angel from previous relationships, is expected to give birth to the baby any day now.

Mel still hasn't picked a name for her unborn child - and is unsure about her hubby Stephen's ideas.

The 36-year-old told British Hello! magazine: "Stephen and Angel and Phoenix come up with the most ridiculous suggestions, either really generic or totally out there and random.

"Stephen only likes really boring names. He's suggested Tom and Sarah. Phoenix and Angel are pretty exotic, I can't now have a Tom or a Sarah.

"Angel wants to call the baby Bubblegum and Phoenix wants Skyler. I am probably just going to come up with the name myself."

The star is yet to find out the gender of her unborn child so is trying to come up with a name that could be suitable for either a boy or a girl.

She added: "I've been trying to think of unisex names, as we don't know the gender. With Phoenix, her dad and I picked the name ages before she was born, but with Angel she didn't have a name for two weeks.

"She just looked like a little peanut, so that's what I would call her."

Kelly Osbourne, Dog, Ozzy Osbourne, Pooch, Charlie, Cheer, Noodles

Realty star Kelly Osbourne has kidnapped her dad Ozzy Osbourne's dog to cheer herself up.

Kelly was upset recently after her puppy Noodles had to be put down because she had an incurable brain condition, so now she has taken her father's dog.

Writing in her Closer magazine column, she said: "I've kidnapped my dad's dog, Charlie, this week to cheer myself up! He's so beautiful. He's a rescue dog - half York and half we-don't-know-what - and has loads of energy."

But despite her mother Sharon's dogs not liking Charlie, her own Pomeranian Sid loves the new pooch.

The 26-year-old added: "Mum's dogs don't get on with him, but my dog Sid loves him - he doesn't get jealous as he knows nothing would come between us!

"I even sent dad a ransom text saying he'd never see his dog again, but he just responded with 'F*** off!' Haha!"

Gordon Ramsay, Las Vegas, casino, Caesars Palace, restaurants, business, empire, celebrity chef

Gordon Ramsay is hoping to turn around his US fortunes by expanding his empire into Las Vegas.

Ramsay, who enjoys huge TV success in America but has struggled with his eateries, is setting up in the famed Caesars Palace casino.

Now the Kitchen Nightmares star is working on opening three venues in the Las Vegas gambling mecca, according to the New York Post.

"Ramsay and Caesars will brand a minimum of three restaurants including a pub/bar and grill," an insider told the Post.

"The project will be fully managed and run internally by Caesars.

"Ramsay will have creative involvement but not creative control, and make regular celebrity appearances."

The first of the restaurants will open early next year.

The move is good news for Ramsay who is currently battling the family of wife Tana in a string of London lawsuits.

Ramsay sacked his father-in-law as company chief executive amid claims Chris Hutcheson had taken millions and hacked into e-mails, claims Hutcheson has strongly denied.

Peter Andre, Parents, Moving In, Ill, Spain, Costa Del Sol

Reality star Peter Andre has revealed that his parents are moving in with him for a while after his dad recently fell ill.

The 38-year-old is planning to have his father Sawas and mother Thea live with him.

Andre, who has two kids, Junior, six, and Princess Tiaamii, four, with ex-wife Katie Price, said: "I'm still on my family holiday at the moment and have spent the last week in a villa in the Costa Del Sol. We were all having a great time but our trip took a turn for the worse as my father got really ill. He was admitted to hospital at the start of last week and is still in there now, poor thing.

"I don't want to go into too much detail as it's private, but he's had a minor operation and will need a bigger op when he gets home.

"I think after the holiday him and Mum are going to stay with me for a while before they head back to Australia. I want them to be as close as possible and do all I can to look after him."

Peter is impressed with the way the rest of his family have all come together to look after Sawas.

He added in his New! magazine column: "We've all been pulling together and taking it in turns to look after the kids and go and see dad. Mum is so dedicated to him that she hasn't even been coming back to the villa at night to have dinner with us as it would mean he's on his own. She's so sweet."
