James Middleton Watch: Time To Ditch The Beard

Asked during an interview to promote his cake-making business last year whether he had considered proposing, James remarked incredulously: 'Am I getting married? What a ridiculous question! Um, we're enjoying our relationship as it is now.'
 
As for Donna, she hardly ever mentions James by name. And of their relationship, she once commented: 'I don't feel like it is high-profile because James and I don't court publicity.

'We don't have a big showbiz celebrity life in any sense.'

James, 28, has rarely broached the subject of his romance with Donna publicly - apart from that rare interview - and the couple tended to go to great lengths to not be seen out together, apart from at public events...

Royal News: James Middleton Pictured With Beard!

Well done James!
Fagburn's trying to think if he's seen a photo of you with a beard before.

Tom Daley: Pictured With Beard!

Teen hearthrob Olympic diving sensation, Tom Daley, was spotted with a beard yesterday, Fagburn can reveal.
The star of the hit TV show Splash! was snapped in Fort Lauderdale, Florida during time out from the USA Grand Prix proudly showing off his new beard.

Tom's beard certainly makes him look more manly, eh girls!
The 18 year-old hunk was wearing a pair of striped board shorts, disappointing his millions of female fans who like seeing his bulge and bumbum in tight Speedos.
Fellow diver Tonia Couch can also be seen in some photos.

The X Factor: Harry's Game

"X FACTOR singer Marcus Collins has been exchanging flirty texts with The Only Way Is Essex star Harry Derbidge.

"Former hairdresser Marcus, a front-runner to win the show, has asked Harry to meet him for a drink to "get to know each other".

"Marcus began following Harry on Twitter and eventually the pair swapped numbers.

"Messages Marcus has sent him include: "Let's have a drink and get to know each other" and "Fancy hooking up? You crack me up on TOWIE."

"But Scouse singer Marcus has a long-term boyfriend — and brushed off the texts as "just having a laugh" with Harry..."

This gripping story is in The Sun so I guess it must be true.
It's an interesting sign of the times how the once hysterically homophobic Sun can report a story like this so matter-of-factly.
But as with this story in The Sun last month about how X Factor's Craig Colton and danyl Johnson "going out" (later denied) Fagburn can't help thinking they seem like PR stunts of the Max Clifford variety.
Ah well, at least gay stars don't have to "go out" with beards these days...

PS Can someone explain the speech ballon in The Sun's photomontage? Thanks.

Update: Much surprise on Twitter that Marcus sang 'My Girl' on The X Factor Motown special. Surely shome mistake?
