The chef made an impromptu performance at half-time at a Norwich v Man City game, calling for a twelfth man on the pitch. <br/><br/> The boys said: \"We're not sure if she's a bit worried about her outburst; we've yet to get a reply from her office.\" I hear that they may get a sound-a-like to add the unique tones of La Smith, should she fail to give the lads the go-ahead.

He told my mole: \"I'd be thrilled to make it as a model, and have no problem showing off my body after revealing almost all in the Games!\" So are Liberty X for the chop?

But he's rarely succumbed to the charms of TV - until Madonna came a-calling. <br/><br/>I can reveal he's just signed a deal with her company to star in his first series, which will be filmed and shown first in the US. He told me: \"I play a conman who goes from town to town. Madonna may even appear in the show - we're all hoping she will, at least once.\" Check it out on our screens later in the year.","url":"2005/4/12/Neil-Seans-Gossip-1289062.jpg","width":250,"height":350,"alt":"Neil Sean's Gossip"},{"captionHeading":"NEIL SEAN'S GOSSIP 15/4","caption":"David Bowie, who's laid claim to some of the biggest hits of the past three decades - Ashes To Ashes, Fame and Absolute Beginners - is an astute businessman with little time for nostalgia. The first big pop star to float his songs on the stock market, he's now decreed that he won't allow a musical based on his hits, Madness and ABBA style. <br/><br/>He told my spies: \"I've nothing against others doing it, but unless the script was brilliant, why would I want to?\" Brave man - such a deal could have netted him millions worldwide.
