Footballer Ashley Cole offered £5000 for a date with Ellie Goulding at a charity auction last night, but was outbid by some rich businessman (is that what they're calling Skrillex these days etc etc). (Actually that's a fair description isn't it.) (The Sun) Meanwhile, John Terry spent £16 000 (!) to secure lunch with JLS. You'd at least expect them to throw in a handjob from JB for that price. A 'handJB', if you will. This is surely what all popstar/winner 'dates' should end?

(Billboard) Call us sentimental, but here's hoping Kevin's evening ends with a Swift handJB.
THAT WAS some of THE NEWS.
