The Leeds-born chef, famous for being the youngest ever to hold 3 of the coveted Michelin stars, goes on to say “This marks a new chapter in my career, I’ve never lost my Northern roots and I can’t wait to bring the next generation of events cuisine to the region. It’s about the occasion, about being with your family and friends, the experience as a whole.”

“The future of hospitality in my opinion is affordable glamour, straightforwardness, back to basics. This is what I will be bringing to the North West with the opening of this venue.”

Facebook Fan Updates Facebook Marital Status At The Altar

A Facebook fan with a sense of humour shocked his wife and amused the guests at his wedding when he used his phone to update his relationship status on his facebook profile, during the wedding ceremony!

As soon as the couple are pronounced man and wife by the Minister (who was in on the prank) the groom produces his phone and updates his status from ‘in a relationship’ to ‘married’. He then hands the phone to his wife, who follows suit and updates her status too!

The Groom’s twitter post reads ‘Standing at the altar with Tracy Page where just a second ago, she became my wife! Gotta go, time to kiss my bride’

The video is rapidly going viral on YouTube and you can watch it all here.

Spears’ Manager Rejects Britney’s Wedding Plea

Rumours that Britney Spears has had her proposal of marriage rejected by her long time manager/short time boyfriend Jason Trawick are currently flying about the internet.

It appears that Britney proposal rejection took place somewhere between the 16th-20th Nov 2009, during the Sydney leg of The Circus Tour.

Australian newspaper ‘sources’ suggest he is unlikely to have been swayed by her celebrity status alone, as he takes marriage very seriously and he is unlikely to make any sudden moves toward marriage,  though it is alleged that  he and Britney have already discussed marriage and they are excited about a romantic wedding in the future.

The 27 year old singer may have alluded to the rejection of her marriage proposal when when asked the audience at a recent performance in Sydney,  ‘Have you ever really loved somebody? Have you ever really been hurt by somebody?’

Britney’s latest romantic setback  follows very public divorces from Jason Allen Alexander in 2004 and more recently,  Kevin Federline in 2007.

As yet, there is no mention of this on Britney’s official twitter page – www.twitter.com/britneyspears.
