Russell Brand shops for diamond ring

Russell Brand has sparked speculation he's planning to propose to Katy Perry - he went shopping for a diamond ring on Friday.

The funnyman has been dating Perry since October after they met at the MTV Video Music Awards the previous month.

He has spoken frequently of his deep feelings for the I Kissed A Girl hitmaker, recently admitting: "I am in love."
And he's now fuelled rumours he is about to pop the question, after he was photographed browsing diamond rings at top London jewellers Cartier.

An onlooker tells the News of the World newspaper, "His face lit up when he saw this one diamond ring. He put it on his hand and he just gazed at it for ages, deep in contemplation."

Corries Blanche Dies Aged 75



R.I.P BLANCHE


Maggie Jones, who played Corrie battle-axe Blanche Hunt, has sadly passed away aged 75.
The much-loved actress had been making a slow recovery after falling ill in October, but her condition deteriorated early on Wednesday morning and she died peacefully in her sleep at the Salford Royal Hospital on the 2nd of December.
Coronation Street Executive Producer Kieran Roberts said: “Maggie was a much-loved colleague and a wonderful actress who turned Blanche into a true Coronation Street icon. She will be hugely missed by Coronation Street’s many millions of viewers and by everyone who works on Coronation Street".
Maggie made her debut on the show in the early 1960s as a policewoman and later returned as a shoplifter. More than a decade later she was back to play Blanche in 1974, but only became a regular cast member in 1999.
