Shaun Ryder bitten by a snake on 'I'm A Celebrity…' – Daily Gossip

Welcome to the Daily Gossip: your daily stop-off to find out what the stars of the music world have been up to in the tabloids and beyond, with the help of plenty of "anonymous sources".

Today's top gossip:

Happy Mondays' Shaun Ryder gets our king of the jungle vote after enduring a snake bite on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!. The singer had to undergo medical treatment after a python sank its teeth into his fingers on the bushtrucker trial. Not surprisingly, he screamed plenty of expletives.

From the papers and beyond:

On the subject of unlikely collaborations now, we didn't see this one coming – Devlin duetting with Paul Weller. The pair sang The Modfather's 'Fast Car/Slow Traffic' at a recent gig at Brighton Centre. "I had butterflies before but after my first verse I saw hands in the audience and that gave me a lift," the rapper admitted (The Sun).

Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill has kicked off a catfight with his ex-girlfriend on Twitter. He celebrated Thanksgiving by dissing his former lover. "Happy Thanksgiving everyone," he wrote. "Except 4 ex-girlfriend, happy skanksgiving. You know who you are."

On a lighter note, Shakira has splashed a load of cash to help kids affected by the Haiti earthquake, we read. The singer has stumped up £420,000 from a Christmas ad she recently appeared in to help a school in the country and in her homeland Colombia (Daily Record).

Self-indulgence award of the week goes to Cheryl Cole for getting a seventh tattoo scrawled on her lower back. The red-tops continue to obssess over The X Factor's judge every move as she flashed "what looked like a ribbon" when she entered the show's north London studios (various).

Shaun Ryder for 'I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!' - Daily Gossip

Welcome to the Daily Gossip: your daily stop-off to find out who in the world of music has been up to what.

Today’s top gossip:

Shaun Ryder is to take part in this year's series of 'I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!'. And as anyone who saw Ghosthunting With…Happy Mondays (scroll down and click below to watch a clip) last year will know, this is a very, very good thing. The series starts on Sunday (November 14), at 9pm (GMT) on ITV1. Linford Christie, Gail Porter and Lembit Opik are among the other contestants.

From the papers:

Dizzee Rascal and the cast of Jackass were the last men standing at the MTV EMA afterparty in Madrid on Sunday night (November 7). No word on whether they were playing nutball together though (The Sun).

Chuck D says he wants Amy Winehouse to join Public Enemy for their IndigoO2 gig in London on November 14. "She can handle all the smoke," he said (Daily Mirror).

Vampire Weekend might go in a hip-hop or R&B direction for their new material. "We all really love the Drake album," drummer Chris Tomson said. "Maybe it'll rub off on our next batch of music." We wait with baited breath (Daily Star).

Noel Gallagher says he's not bothered about his kids supporting Manchester City FC, because he likes the idea of "being the old Blue and jumping over the couch at them when we go 3-1 up". Wishful thinking? (Various)

And finally... Big Brother stalwart Nicki Grahame is set to tour the UK in November - playing covers of indie classics. She'll be belting out the likes of 'Someday' by The Strokes, 'She's So Loose' by Supergrass and 'Music When The Lights Go Out' by The Libertines. An album is to follow in early 2011...
