Prince Harry's car 'hits photographer'

Prince Harry's car was reportedly involved in an accident which left a photographer in hospital.

The 26-year-old was travelling home in an unmarked police car after partying with his girlfriend Chelsy Davy when the incident occurred.

Metro claims that Tony Margiocchi was left with black tyre marks across his legs and was taken to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. Eyewitnesses claimed that the Prince's minder drove straight on and did not stop to tend to the photographer.

"We can confirm that an unmarked police vehicle did hit a man at around 2am," a police spokesperson said. "The man was taken to hospital by London Ambulance Services and he has sustained a leg injury."

It was recently confirmed that Prince Harry will serve as Prince William's best man at his upcoming wedding to Kate Middleton.

Bieber 'hates people touching hair'

Justin Bieber has revealed that he does not like people touching his hair.

Bieber recently visited The Talk, where one of the show's hosts attempted to put a hat on Bieber's head, according to Hollywood Life.

"No, no, no. Don't touch my hair!" Bieber said.

Bieber then apparently combed his fingers through his hair, trying to fix the damage that the hat had done.

Bieber's film Never Say Never was re-released in theatres this weekend with 40 extra minutes of footage.

Cheryl Cole 'bumped from X Factor US panel'

Cheryl Cole will reportedly not serve as a judge on the upcoming US version of The X Factor.

According to the Daily Star, the 'Promise This' singer has been snubbed by Fox bosses over concerns about her thick Geordie accent and lack of profile stateside.

Friends close to Cole have claimed that the 27-year-old will now fill the "Sinitta role", advising head judge and executive producer Simon Cowell in the latter stages of the competition, just as the 'So Macho' singer does in the UK version.

A source said: "Simon really wanted Cheryl on the panel with him but it’s been an unwinnable battle. People just don’t know who she is over there and people struggle to understand what she’s saying.

"Simon is consoling her with the offer of helping him win the first series, which would give her profile a massive boost. The fact is she’s got a decision to make."

Cole was thought to have been working with an LA voice coach in order to quell fears about her regional slang, but the publication claims that Cowell has simply been unable to win over unconvinced network chiefs.

"Simon Cowell is still one of her biggest supporters," the insider said. "But even though the X Factor is his idea it's the executives at Fox who have the ultimate say over the make-up of the show."

They added: "Cheryl hasn’t heard or seen him since she arrived."

It was reported earlier this month that Cole had been offered £10 million to sit on the X Factor USA panel. Her and Cowell's future on the UK show has frequently been called into question as speculation about the American version continues.

Bieber haircut 'planned for a while'

Justin Bieber's stylist has claimed that the singer's recent dramatic change of hairstyle has been planned for some time.  Bieber trimmed his trademark hair earlier this week, instead opting for a closely-cropped shorter cut, with Vanessa Price claiming that it was the right time for the change.

"He was ready," Price told People. "Cutting your hair is just part of the evolution and growing process for anyone, and I think he was just ready."  The stylist added that the change of hairstyle had actually been planned for a while, contrary to Bieber's insinuation that he had only decided on the revamp recently.

"We've been talking about it over the last six months or so, more or less," Price added. "It's definitely been in the works for a while."  Bieber revealed this week that he plans to auction the cut-off pieces of his hair for charity.

Former 'True Blood' character to return

Allan Hyde has signed up to return to True Blood.

TV Line reports that Hyde will reprise his role as Eric's maker Godric when the show's fourth season begins on HBO this summer.

Godric succumbed to the sunlight in the show's second season but his spirit seemed to return to speak to Eric in the third season finale.

Details of Hyde's new storyline have not yet been revealed. It is also not yet clear how long he will be on the show.

However, True Blood's executive producer Alan Ball promised that viewers will see "a different side of Godric".

The fourth season of True Blood will premiere on June 12 at 9pm on HBO, and later on in the year on ITV2.

Jordan inconveniences Victoria Beckham

Yesterday, Victoria was due to be flying to LA, but had to hastily rearrange her flight when she found out she'd be sharing stale cabin air with Jordan.

Amusingly, Jordan heard the rumour that Posh was getting her flight and tweeted this random selection of nouns and verbs: "Taking off people saying victoria on flight this is not true tweet soonx". The poor thing was sadly unaware that she was apparently the very reason for Posh's absence.

We don't want Posh to have to get a flight with Jordan unless we get to board it too and stare at them while shovelling complimentary peanuts into our starstruck gobs, so we're pleased Posh changed her plans - especially as she instead apparently ended up catching the same flight as Cheryl, a much more agreeable travel companion, we're sure you'll agree.

Obviously the Beckham camp are keeping schtum about all this, only saying "We don’t comment on the Beckham family travel details, however we had several flights on hold for yesterday and today for convenience and for security reasons" - but that's not a denial, is it?

Yeah, so this is all terribly petty, and that's why we like it so much.

'Smallville' exec: 'Finale may surprise'

Smallville producer Brian Peterson has claimed that the forthcoming series finale could surprise viewers. The CW drama, which stars Tom Welling as Clark Kent, will conclude its run later this year after ten seasons.

"Every version of Superman in the movies, comics and TV show[s] is a slight variation on a theme," Peterson told Assignment X. "As long as there is respect for the character and the basis of that character, there can be a lot of different interpretations."

He added: "I think we will walk that balance rather nicely. That's our goal."  The showrunner also admitted that he has mixed feelings about the series finally coming to an end.

"It's going to be very bittersweet to leave these characters we've seen [for] so long and we love so much," he confessed. "But I want to feel inspired [by the finale], as a fan. That's what I want."

It was recently confirmed that Michael Rosenbaum will reprise his role as Lex Luthor in the Smallville finale, which is currently scheduled to air on May 13 on The CW.

Johnny Depp: 'Namor is great'

Johnny Depp has revealed his favourite childhood superheroes.

Speaking to Hero Complex, he identified Marvel Comics' King of Atlantis as his favourite comic book character.

"Namor is great," he said. "There was this strange double edge to the guy. And there was also something about living underwater that I liked a lot."

He said that he was no fan of Captain America. "But I liked Spider-Man and I liked the Fantastic Four for a bit. I really liked Sgt. Rock. But the Sub-Mariner, he was the alternative one. The alt-superhero. He was the sort of Bohemian comic book. I like that."
