July 10 Strictly 2008 rumour quashed: June Saprong is too busyYou'll see from my previous post that the Daily Record was suggesting that June Sarpong was going to participate in Strictly Come Dancing series six 2008.
Well, we contacted June and her manager to ask them.
Here's the reply:
"June will not be doing Strictly Come Dancing due to her busy diary."
So there you have it.
Some newspapers would call that an exclusive.
June is certainly busy right now. She's just launched a website to get women more involved in political discussion: politicsandthecity.com.
July 06 Strictly Come Dancing 2008: latest rumours - Kelly Brook to have another go?The latest rumours about contestants for Strictly Come Dancing series six include:
Actress Debra Stephenson (Frankie Baldwin in Coronation Street)
Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall
The Daily Record believes that a recent gathering in London about the next series included Davina McCall, Richard Hammond, Leigh Francis and June Sarpong. It also reports that Kelly Brook was there.
Kelly, you'll recall, had to leave Strictly Come Dancing series five due to her father's passing away.
June 28 Strictly professional dancers end pay disputeThis week The Sun reported that the Strictly Come Dancing professionals had ended their pay row with the show's producers.
They will now earn £30,000 - up from £23,500.
Strictly series six 2008 will last 14 weeks.
Strictly Come Dancing 2008 rumours: Sharon says noThe Sun is reporting that Sharon Osbourne has turned down the opportunity to appear on series six of Strictly Come Dancing.
Instead she will have her own variety show in the US.
June 09 Strictly Come Dancing 2008 rumours: Sharon OsbourneWell that would be a Strictly Come Dancing series six coup, wouldn't it?
Sharon Osbourne has said she is quitting as a judge on The X Factor, the ITV show that battles for ratings with Strictly Come Dancing, AND it appears she might be keen to get her dancing shoes on.
The Sun quotes a 'pal' saying: "It would make one hell of a TV battle, so don’'t be surprised to see her hitting the dancefloor."
OK, we won't be surprised.
However, hasn't she said she's quitting as an X Factor judge before?
June 03 Strictly Come Dancing 2008 rumours: Hollyoaks actress wants to take partStrictly Come Dancing series six rumours continue.
It's now Gemma Merna's turn to say she's interested.
She plays Carmel McQueen in (blogger's wife's favourite) Hollyoaks (I have to leave the room when it's on).
On the Daily Star website she says: “I would love to be on Strictly...I think that being able to dance is so sexy, especially for a guy. I just like all the glamorous dresses the girls get to wear, it would be fantastic.”
May 13 Strictly head judge Len Goodman slam pay row 'lies'Strictly Come Dancing judge Len Goodman has hit out at newspaper reports that he's threatening to quit the BBC show unless he gets a pay rise.
Speaking in Los Angeles where he's currently judging the US version - Dancing With the Stars - Len insisted "it's a pack of lies", before joking: "Honestly, I'd rather part with my penis than give up Strictly Come Dancing!" At a special celebrity football match held at David Beckham's LA Galaxy ground, Len said he'd stopped worrying about what the UK papers say: "I don't care, it's just a load of nonsense really, people write what they want to write. At first I used to get all stressy but what does it matter?" Fellow judge Bruno Tonioli also came to Len's defence: "We never speak to the press. Len and I are the worst - we don't even have publicists because we just do our job. The moment you're in the public eye there is always speculation like this but it doesn't come from us. From what I'm concerned I'm pretty sure he's going to do the show." pa.press.net
May 05 Strictly judges' pay rowHow much are the Strictly judges worth?
More than they're paid, according to, er, well, themselves.
A report in The Sun says that they get about £60,000 a series but want more.
Their argument is that the X-Factor judges earn far more and Strictly is in a ratings war with the ITV show.
They'd settle for £80,000 to £90,000, apparently.
Wouldn't we all?
Strictly Come Dancing series 6: rumour - Austin HealeyThe latest celeb on the Strictly Come Dancing 2008 rumour mill is former rugby scrum half Austin Healey.
His comments in an interview with The Times aren't conclusive but it sounds like his daughter is keen for him to do it.
April 21 Bruce Forsyth wins Bafta FellowshipMany congratulations to Strictly Come Dancing host Bruce Forsyth who received the Fellowship award at the Bafta TV awards on Sunday April 20 - thoroughly deserved.

April 08 X-Factor's Simon Cowell and Strictly's Bruno Tonioli to swap places?I do hope this doesn't happen - a job swap between Simon Cowell and Bruno Tonioli.
Speaking to the Sun newspaper's TV Biz supplement, Bruno said: "We like a bit of a giggle - there is no competition between us. Simon has a lot of ideas for new TV shows and we were discussing swapping jobs – I'll do X Factor and he'll do Strictly.
"It would be for charity, perhaps Children In Need."
March 15 Mark Ramprakash and Kara Tointon win Strictly Sport ReliefSport Relief Does Strictly Come Dancing made an appearance last night as part of the charity event's evening entertainment.
Former contestants such as Matt Dawson and Roger Black were paired with other celebs.
After the judges' scores and the audience votes were put together former Strictly winner Mark Ramprakash and his dance partner EastEnders actress Kara Tointon triumphed.
Perhaps not the highest quality dancing we've ever seen on Strictly but that's hardly the point. It was a valiant effort and all in a good cause.
What will stick in my mind is Tess Daly's report from Bangladesh - some dreadful scenes of what young children there go through.
If you want to donate to Sport Relief you can do so through the Sport Relief website. February 22 Happy 80th Birthday Brucie!Congratulations to Mr Saturday Night!
He's 80 today.
MSN has a super Bruce Forsyth at 80 tribute with loads of cool stuff, which is well worth checking out.

Loud bloke with bad hair won't be presenting StrictlyGreat news!
Rejoice!
There is no way Vernon Kay will be presenting Strictly Come Dancing.
He's signed a new deal with ITV so there's no way he can present a BBC show.
Now all those rumours about him replacing Bruce Forsyth can finally go away.
I'm sure Vernon's great and a lovely guy but he's not the chap for Strictly. Leave Brucie alone, that's what I say.
Thank you ITV.
Easily the best news of the week.
