News: Dannii quits Notre Dame de Paris 04/07/01

Dannii Minogue is quitting her role as Esmeralda in the West End hit musical Notre Dame de Paris. Despite the fact that the successful show has been extended to January 2002, Dannii has made up her mind: she is leaving next month.

Rumours say that the part was offered to 18-year-old singer Billie Piper when Dannii announced her decision, but the wife of Chris Evans allegedly turned it down. Natalie Appleton, former member of popgroup All Saints, has now emerged as the favourite for the role, and she is very likely to audition within the next month.

Feature: Missy Elliot Party 01/06/01

I am feeling the worse for wear after crawling back to my flat in the early hours. Last night I was partying in Zen Gardens where Missy Elliot was hosting the after party for her Brixton Academy gig.

The US bad girl of hip-hop had played a one-off gig after which we all headed down to the West End venue, where blazing hip-hop and R & B was being played. The drinks were flowing, American sexy R & B boys 112 were also in the place, popping the Chrystal champagne in the VIP area, which of course was where I was. I also spotted the Honeyz and MTV’s Jasmine Dotiwala enjoying the party. I was surprised to see the Sugarbabes there, who I’m sure are all under the age of 16, smoking - naughty!

Jordan managed to get her big bust in, and was dancing like crazy. That was not my only stop of the night, as I later headed down to Hanover Grand to see Omar do a PA, which was cool, but by this stage of the night I was finding it difficult to walk in my new stilettos. My girlfriends were also the worse for wear, but hot foot as we are, again we were the last to leave. And again like any other night out, I’m paying for it the next day. Where are the Alka-Seltzers?
