Rocker Sting is campaigning to have a tiny fishermen’s shelter near his mansion in Wiltshire, England, bulldozed, because he insists it is a blight on the landscape. According to contactmusic.com, the former Police frontman frontman is furious the structure was erected without planning permission, and has reportedly contacted the council in a bid to have it removed.

The singer’s spokesman says, “I can confirm that Sting has objected. “This is a commercial venture by a multi-millionaire property developer, built without planning consent in an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is also a site of special scientific interest. Many local people are upset by this development.”

George Michael is friend Geri Halliwell’s “manny”. The former Spice Girl will only let her mother, the Careless Whisper singer and his partner Kenny Goss look after her daughter Bluebell and is delighted with George’s childcare skills. A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper, “George and Kenny are happy to look after Bluebell. They’re mannies, the male equivalent of nannies.”

Geri, 34, has been reluctant to let anyone else look after Bluebell and her concerns were increased when a temporary nanny allegedly physically abused her three-month-old daughter. The alleged incident occurred when Geri left baby Bluebell in the care of a temporary member of staff when she went for a walk with friends during a stay at the Liphook Golf Club, in Hampshire, on August 18. When the 34-year-old star returned, her baby was shrieking and she found bruises on her arms.

Catherine Zeta Jones was furious to learn her name was to inspire a canine character in the new movie Snow Cake, and ordered her lawyers to halt the unflattering tribute immediately, says contactmusic.com. The film, starring Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman, was to feature a pooch bearing the same moniker as the Hollywood actress, but Zeta-Jones was not amused.

An aide for production company Revolution Films says, “Her lawyers wrote back and said that on no account could her name be used for a dog.” Scriptwriter Angela Pell says, “I liked the idea of naming the dog Catherine Zeta-Jones, because in the film it belongs to a teenage girl, and I felt it was the kind of name a teenage girl might go for. “It’s a shame we had to change it, it’s only a story after all.”
