JULIANNE HOUGH

Julianne Hough (Mercury Nashville): B-

Blue-eyed, blonde belle of the ballroom Hough (pronounced Huff) is using her stunning looks and success on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” to get a leg up on a country music career. Odds are she’ll succeed, in spite of this so-so debut. Rather than join the endless parade of sexed-up pop tarts, the 19-year-old Utah native wisely goes the chaste, girl-next-door route (and there’s not a single song about dancing!). Hough’s pleasant but unremarkable voice succeeds best on the ballads. But catchy first single, the uptempo “That Song in My Head,” is the song to download.

Russell Brand Beds Three Virgin Air Stewardesses

Russell Brand has got into a spot of bother with his air stewardess girlfriend after bedding two of her workmates.

The comic actor has been dating Erika Parandine, 30, since meeting her on Los Angeles flight last summer, but she’s flown after the handle after learning of two other of his airborne dalliances.

Not only did Brand enjoy a one-night stand with a Virgin stewardess, but also chatted up another Virgin trolley-dolly Nicola Toft earlier this month.

A friend of Erika‘s tells The People, "She thought Russell was a real charmer. She had told everyone about their fling. I think she always knew he was seeing other women, but for him to pull another stewardess from the same airline is a little too close to home.

"She is a lovely girl and has tried to laugh it off, but there might be stormy skies if the two girls fly together. She had no idea she had been traded in for another crew member until a friend said Russell had been linked with Nicola. She wasn't happy."

Erika herself says, “"I'm not the kind of girl who would discuss these things. But let's just say I'm boycotting his film now and have banned all my friends from seeing it.

"I guess I should be surprised it hasn't happened earlier."

Music legend Ike Turner dies in US

The American soul singer, Ike Turner, has died at his home in California at the age of 76.
Turner, regarded as one of the pioneering figures of rock'n' roll, was best known for his musical partnership with, and stormy marriage to, Tina Turner.
His cause of death was not immediately known, said his manager, Scott Hanover.
Turner managed to rehabilitate his image somewhat in later years, touring around the globe with his band the Kings of Rhythm and drawing critical acclaim for his work.
He won a Grammy in 2007 in the traditional blues album category for 'Risin' with the Blues'.
He shared his only other Grammy with Tina Turner in 1972 for their cover of 'Proud Mary'.
Michele Schweitzer, a spokeswoman for his former wife, said: "Tina is aware that Ike passed away earlier today.
"She has not had any contact with him in 35 years. No further comment will be made."
Turner is credited by many music historians with making the first rock 'n' roll record, 'Rocket 88', in 1951.

Uma Thurman’s stalker convicted

A man was today found guilty of stalking actress Uma Thurman.
The attorney for 37-year-old Jack Jordan conceded that his client’s behavior was obsessive. A prosecutor went much further, saying the man’s actions “terrified” the star. He faces up to a year in jail.
After a week-long trial, a jury in the State Supreme Court in Manhattan found Jordan guilty of one count of stalking and one count of second-degree aggravated harassment, but acquitted him on two additional counts of the same charge.
