X-Factor winner Joe McElderry finds 2 fans hidden in his chauffeur driven car
Fanatical fans of Joe conceal themselves in the boot of his car for three hours
Two excitable fans who watched the X-Factor winner Joe McElderry perform on the live X-Factor tour in Aberdeen this week just couldn’t bear to see him go; so they hid in the boot of his chauffeur driven 4×4 for three hours.
The two female fans were desperate to meet their idol and to get an autograph to they decided to take drastic action by distracting the chauffeur and concealing themselves in the boot of the car. The 4×4 is Joe’s designated car for the tour which is currently showing at a whole host of venues across the UK.
The girls remained hidden in the boot for three hours whilst the X-Factor winner enjoyed a celebratory drink with crew members after the gig.
According to a source, 15 minutes into Joe’s journey back to his hotel he was alerted to the girl’s presence in the boot when he heard giggling. The X-Factor winner was said to have been “stunned – not to mention a little freaked out” to find the two girls concealed in the boot.
However smuggling themselves in the boot of the 4×4 seemed to work a treat as kind-hearted Geordie Joe was more than happy to sign autographs for them and ensured they got home safely after their adventure.

Kent limo operator has license suspended
Limo chauffeur from Kent has his license suspended
A limo operator from Broadstairs in Kent has had his license suspended after he was found to have transported a group of 15 women in a limo which was licensed to carry just 8 passengers.
The incident occurred last December when a group of ladies booked limo hire to take them on a pre-Christmas shopping trip to Harrods in London.
The group originally booked 2 limos for their chauffeur driven shopping trip, but on the day, only 1 arrived. The chauffeur then offered to transport the whole group of 15 women to London and back in the one limo which is designed to carry 8 people.
The women were said to have been squashed into the limo, with several having to sit on the floor of the limousine, whilst the others were forced to sit cramped together on the little seating there was.
The authorities were alerted to the dangerous practices of the limo provider by a tip off from a member of the public. 41-year-old David Crow was identified as the chauffeur of the limo on the day in question.
Only last July Mr Crow was granted a private hire driver’s licence and only a matter of weeks later, he was given a 1 year operator’s licence. Both of these licenses have now been suspended following the incident in December.
Whitney Houston has diva-style strop after her limo arrives late
Whitney Houston flies off the handle after her limo arrives 2 minutes late
Grammy-award winning singer Whitney Houston lived up to her feisty reputation over the weekend when she exploded into a full blown diva-style strop after her chauffeur driven limo arrived minutes late.
The legendary songstress had just touched down in Brisbane airport, Australia, when she was became enraged after her Mercedes Benz limo wasn’t waiting directly outside the terminal to greet her upon her arrival.
It’s been reported that the Bodyguard singer was heard yelling “this is bulls**t!” whilst waiting a whole 2 minutes for the silver limousine to turn up. An unfortunate passer-by also felt the full force of the wrath of Whitney when he suggested the singer take off her dark glasses and big hat and enjoy the sunny morning, she allegedly told the man in no uncertain terms: “mind your own f***ing business!” The limo chauffeur, when he arrived, is said to have fared much worse at the hands of the legendary US singer.
Whitney is in Brisbane to make two scheduled performances over the coming week. She’s due to take to the stage in Acer Arena, in Homebush on Wednesday, and Hunter Valley on Saturday. The 46-yearold is currently enjoying a comeback with the release of her new album I Look To You, and she also celebrated the 25th anniversary of her debut album in January by re-releasing the record.
Cheryl Cole performs at the Brits minus her wedding ring
Cheryl in her second outfit during last night's Brits performance
Despite the obvious personal turmoil the 26-year-old Geordie is facing following the recent allegations regarding her husbands Ashley’s extramarital affairs, Cheryl Cole gave a confident yet feisty performance at the Brit Awards last night, but there was one thing missing…
The X-Factor judge gave one of the biggest stand-out performances of the night involving two costume changes and a raft of slick dancers, yet she chose to remove her £150,000 wedding ring before taking to the stage before an audience of millions.
However the tabloids have been thrown into a frenzy by Cole’s admission of her wedding ring in the past. Only last year during a Saturday night live X-Factor show, the Girls Aloud singe appeared without her wedding ring. Whilst many pointed to problems within the marriage for the absence of the ring, it later emerged it was a style choice as the wedding band didn’t go with her outfit.
Given the recent rumours which have surfaced claiming that husband, Chelsea footballer Ashley, has sent saucy text message to two women, Cheryl’s decision to remove her wedding band for the high profile performance could be seen as more significant.
The audience were with Cheryl Cole all the way, jumping to their feet to give her a standing ovation when she began her set. Ashley Cole was not present at the glitzy London event as he’s currently resting following an ankle operation. However fellow band members from Girls Aloud, namely Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts, were on hand to cheer on the Fight For This Love singer during her big performance.

Rolls Royce owned by Bobby Robson is for sale in County Durham
A stunning Rolls Royce Silver Seraph whose last previous owner was Sir Bobby Robson, is back on the market after his widow took the decision to sell the pristine vehicle.
The classic Rolls Royce is currently on display at a car showroom in Peterlee, county Durham, at the same dealership where Sir Bobby purchased it from. Car dealer Paul Cummings sourced the car for the former England and Newcastle United boss two and a half years ago after Sir Bobby admitted that he had always wanted to own a Rolls Royce.
The football legend’s wife, Lady Elsie, is selling the car after Sir Bobby passed away last July aged 76. The Rolls Royce had been described as his pride and joy.
Paul Cummings, who is selling the vehicle on behalf of Lady Elsie, was a personal friend of Sir Bobby’s and even attended his memorial service last year. The Rolls Royce can be seen at the car show room on Peterlee industrial estate.
The Rolls Royce Silver Seraph is a 1998 model and has just 26,247 miles on the clock. Its original selling price was £160,000 however its current price has not been made public, but can be disclosed upon application. Sir Bobby Robson’s personalised number plates will not be included in the sale.
School prom limo hire bookings on the up in Cardiff
Party Bus Limos are proving a popular choice for prom dates in Cardiff
One of the UK’s biggest providers of limo hire, Limo Broker, have reported a surge in bookings for school proms in the Cardiff area. The craze for American style high school proms is gaining momentum year on year and is fast becoming one of the most popular occasions for limo hire.
Cardiff seems to become something of a Mecca for Welsh proms with many schools from outside the city, from Newport, the Valleys, Bridgend, and Caerphilly, all choosing to hold their proms venues in Cardiff. With so many prom-goers travelling from outside the area into Cardiff, there’s been a rise in the number of bookings for chauffeur driven limos and party buses.
Party buses for schools proms in Cardiff have been a very popular option this year, as most have the capacity to carry more passengers than an average Lincoln Town Car limo, for example, which is limited to carrying just 8 passengers. The party bus also creates a fun atmosphere as it boasts a number of superb onboard features such as fibre optic disco lighting, state of art sound systems.
Hummer limos with COIF certificates are also proving a big hit with the school-prom goers in Cardiff. These limos not only look fantastic, they are also stuffed full of some of the best onboard features that money can buy. As well as neon lighted dance floors, VIP areas, and plasma screens with DVD players, the deluxe hummers also have karaoke systems with inbuilt smoke machines so you can have your very own “Stars in Their Eyes” moment. The biggest plus with the hummers limos is that the COIF certified vehicles can legally carry up to 18 passengers, which is ideal for prom nights.
Limo Broker are already reporting that their entire limo fleet is fully booked in the Cardiff area for many dates during peak prom season. This is having a knock-on effect on wedding car hire as school prom and wedding dates tend to clash as they fall around the same time of the year.
The advice being offered by Limo Broker is to book your limo hire in Cardiff as soon as your prom date is confirmed in order to get the best pick of the limousines. If you’re struggling to find availability for your school prom in Cardiff, become a fan of Limo Broker on Facebook, this way you’ll be the first to be notified of any cancellation bookings.
Wedding limo replaced by wedding bus by footie mad couple from Sunderland
Couple from Sunderland wanted something different on their wedding day so hired a wedding bus
A couple from Herrington who are both die-hard fans of their local football team, Sunderland FC, decided to incorporate their love of the club into their wedding day.
David Murphy and Victoria Anderson chose to have a wedding with a red, white and black colour scheme to chime in with the colours of Sunderland FC. In homage to the occasion in 1973 when Sunderland won the FA cup in Wembley and afterwards paraded the streets on a red double-decker bus, the pair decided they would swap their wedding car for a wedding bus just like the one the team rode on.
The bride-to-be along with her bridesmaids took a ride on the decorated wedding bus all the way to the church. Some members of family also came along for the trip, not wanting to miss out on the action.
The new Mrs Murphy wanted her wedding day transport to be unique as she said: ”Everybody else uses limousines and other wedding cars, but I just wanted something a little bit different. I had seen that when Sunderland played at Wembley they used a red double-decker bus, so I thought that would be good.”
The newlyweds have been together for 13 years and have 4 children together. The pair hadn’t got round to marrying before, but after Victoria’s grandfather fell ill, they decided to hurry up and tie the knot. They organised the entire wedding in just 4 months.

The Crazy in Love singer picked up the award for Best Song of the Year and Best R&B Song for the track Single Ladies (put a ring on it) she also picked up the trophy for Best Contemporary Album, Best Female Pop, and Best Vocal Performance.
The other big winners of the night included 20-year-old Taylor Swift who became the youngest artist ever to win the coveted Best Album Award. The country singer picked up a further three awards bring her tally of the night up to 4. Jay-Z, The Black Eyed Peas and Kings Of Leon all picked up three trophies each, and Eminem and Lady Gaga both picked up two each.
There was a poignant moment during the ceremony when Michael Jackson’s children, Prince Michael and Paris, collected a lifetime achievement award on behalf of their father.
