Run Ramsay Run!

PopSugarUK — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700

A whole range of celebrities pushed themselves to the limit by taking part in the Flora London Marathon yesterday. The rain may have poured down but that didn't stop Gordon Ramsay, who was running his ninth marathon and completed the 26.2 miles in 3 hours 45 minutes. After finishing the course, which snakes through London from Greenwich to Buckingham Palace, Gordon said: "As I was coming over Tower Bridge, someone shouted, 'run, fat boy, run' - I don't know if they were talking to me".

Other celebrities who pounded the slippery streets of London included Ronan Keating (taking time out from Boyzone's comeback) and Big Brother 3 winner Kate Lawler, who ran for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust in just her Ann Summers underwear. TV presenter Ben Fogle and Olympic rower James Cracknell also joined in, using it as training for their 400-mile race to the South Pole this November. Exhausting stuff!

Jewel Tones Rule at Children's Champions Gala Ball

PopSugarUK — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 05:00:00 -0700

Dresses in jewel tones are certainly brightening up our storm-filled week — hot on the heels of Tuesday's TRIC Awards came the Children's Champions Gala Ball last night, with several stars stepping out in bold colours. There were ladies in red in the shape of Caprice and EastEnders' Kara Tointon (who wore a cute green and blue dress on Tuesday), while Amanda Holden went with a chest-revealing emerald outfit and Rock Rivals' Michelle Collins looked great in purple. There was a fine selection of LBDs on the red carpet too — I particularly liked Louisa Lytton's strapless number, and Emma Bunton looked like a yummy mummy in her simple black dress. The event, held at London's Renaissance Chancery Court Hotel, wasn't only attended by singers and soap stars, however — the Prime Minister himself was there! He said:

"There are so many unsung heroes in this country working tirelessly for young people, ensuring that the next generation grows up happy, healthy and safe from harm ... It will be my privilege to shake their hands."

I must admit I was surprised to see PM Gordon Brown in the same room as Big Brother 8's Victoria Beckham wannabe Chanelle Hayes — it's like seeing two separate worlds collide! But everyone was there for a great cause — to celebrate those who make a positive difference to children's lives. You can see the ceremony for yourself on Sky One on Sunday, as the event will be televised for the very first time.

We've got loads more pictures from the gala so just
