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.
North Wales wedding car fleet wiped out by arson attack
Arsonists torch vintage wedding car fleet
A fleet of vintage wedding cars estimated to be worth £130,000 has been destroyed in what police believe was an arson attack.
A couple from North Wales, Sharon and Phillip Hughes run Oakfields Chauffeured Vehicles from their home in Wrexham, North Wales.
In total 6 wedding cars were destroyed in the blaze including 2 vintage Beauford wedding cars, plus 2 Daimler limos, a Roadster, Jaguar, and a classic motorcycle.
The fire was started late on Friday night. The couple happened to notice the flow of the fire from the garage where the motor vehicles were kept, and notified the emergency services.
Mrs Hughes described how her husband attempted to save the weddings cars from the flames, however the fire was so fierce that he risked injuring himself and is said to have suffered from smoke inhalation as a result.
Despite the devastation this has brought to the family-run business, the owners are determined the incident “won’t grind us down” and has vowed to get back on their feet very soon. Couples who had booked wedding cars for the weekend were found alternative transport with the help of Mr and Mrs Hughes.
Those brides and groom-to-be who have booked a wedding car with Oakfields Chauffeured Vehicles should not despair as the owners say they will get in touch with each customer to reassure them that their wedding day transport will still be provided. They hope to have a new fleet of wedding cars up and running in the very near future.
US man gets limo ride home from jail
Newly released prisoner celebrates his homecoming with limo hire
A man from Orlando in the US walked free from jail last Thursday and was whisked home in a chauffeur driven stretch limo as part of a surprise gift from his girlfriend.
Anthony Lee Sears, who’d just served a 5 months jail sentence for possessing a pain medicine, fleeing from police, and driving with a suspended sentence, was greeted by family and friends who were also onboard the white Ford Excursion limo to welcome him home.
Mr Sears’s 24-year-old partner, Crystal Charles, organised the big homecoming celebration complete with white limo hire, to show him “how much I love him.”
Since the beginning of November when the 26-year started his jail term, he missed a number of special occasions including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and his birthday. So his thoughtful partner decided to deck the home they share out with gifts and flowers to make up for missing these celebrations.
The 45-foot long stretch limo is more commonly used for events such as school proms, wedding day hire, and hen and stag dos. Picking up newly released prisoners from outside of jail is not high on the company’s list of requests.
The landscaper from Orange County is reported to be a repeat offender. According to police records, Sears has spent time inside nine times in the past six years.
Wedding car hire plea to fulfil dying man’s wish
Groom from Northamptonshire puts out plea for Rolls Royce wedding car after being diagnosed with terminal cancer
A couple from Northampton have put out a plea for a Rolls Royce wedding car for their big day. The pair, who were childhood sweethearts, have decided to tie the knot after the groom was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
However with limited funds for the wedding, the couple are hoping that a wedding car hire service in the local area may be able to provide them with a vehicle free of charge to complete their big day.
Horace Prescott and Dawn Barrett met as teenagers living in London. However they lost contact after Dawn’s family moved away. As luck would have it, the pair met up again years later and rekindled their romance, they’ve now been together for the past 10 years.
Mr Prescott was diagnosed with bowel and bladder cancer 3 years ago. He underwent major surgery to remove the growth. However the couple were told a few weeks ago that the cancer had returned, and there was little the medical teams could do at this point.
After receiving the bad news, Mr Prescott wasted no time in getting down on one knee and asking the love of his life to marry him. Ms Barrett agreed, and they swung into action to get the wedding plans in place.
The wedding is due to take place on Saturday and Ms Barrett is calling for anyone who maybe able to provide them with a Rolls Royce wedding car to get in touch. The bride says she wants desperately to give her husband-to-be “something back for all he’s given me” and knows it would make his day to have to ride to the ceremony in the back of a Rolls Royce.
Limo chauffeur calls police after Naomi Campbell turns violent
Naomi Campbell's chaffeur claims she gave him a black eye
Supermodel Naomi Campbell is currently in hiding after her limo chauffeur accused her of slapping and punching him yesterday.
Naomi’s chauffeur alleges that the 39-year-old model attacked him whilst he was driving through the streets of New York yesterday afternoon. The London born supermodel was travelling in the back of the black Cadillac Escalade limo when she became angry and hit out at the chauffeur.
The chauffeur then pulled the limo off the road and called the police. It was at this point that Ms Campbell escaped from the vehicle and made off on foot.
It is not known exactly what triggered the violent outburst, although there are claims that the model flew into a rage as she believes that the driver, who was previously employed by her boyfriend Vlad Doronin, helped cover up Doronin’s indiscretions whilst in his employment.
A spokesperson for Ms Campbell says: “Naomi will cooperate voluntarily, and there is more to this story than meets the eye.”
The chauffeur is not pressing charges so it’s unlikely that the case will be taken any further. However the supermodel has form when it comes to violent episodes. Three years ago she pleaded guilty to assaulting her maid, and also admitted abusive behaviour towards the police at Heathrow Airport after she lost her temper when she discovered her luggage had been lost.
Avril Lavigne snapped in the back of a limo with her estranged husband
Avril and soon-to-be ex husband Deryck share a limo in London
Speculation is mounting that singer Avril Lavinge may be getting her marriage back on track with husband of three years, Deryck Whibley after the pair were snapped sharing a limo ride last week.
The estranged couple both attended the after show party for the premiere of the new Tim Burton movie, Alice in Wonderland. Avril sings the title song for the film, Alice (underground), which was produced by her ex Whibley.
Since announcing their split last October the couple have been living separate lives with Avril being linked to a number of eligible bachelors such as The Hill’s star Brody Jenner, and oil heir Brandon Davis.
However their late night limo ride last Thursday may signal a reunion between the divorcing duo. They were snapped by photographers leaving the event in the early hours, they then travelled to the same London hotel.
Despite sharing a limo, the pair didn’t sit next to each other, instead preferring to take up opposite ends of the chauffeur driven limousine. Avril and Deryck have known each other for over 6 years and at the time of their break-up, the Skater Boy singer said they would remain friends. So instead of a rekindled romance, this may be a case of an amicable split.

The Queen hitches a lift after her Bentley limo breaks down
The Queen had to get a lift from the police after her limo broke down
Her Majesty the Queen was forced to hitch a lift yesterday after her Bentley limousine broke down whilst she was out and about on official visits in the London.
The exquisite Bentley had been a gift to the Queen from the manufacturers to mark her Golden Jubilee back in 2002. However the fine limousine wouldn’t start after the Queen emerged from the Gherkin building whilst on a royal visit.
Approximately 1,000 people lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the Monarch as she emerged from the London landmark. Luckily the 83-year-old’s blushes were saved by the police who were on hand to offer the Queen a lift to her next engagement, leaving the Bentley limo to be taken away by the mechanics.
The Queen had 4 engagements in the capital on Wednesday so there was no time to spare when the Bentley broke down. The Monarch was then chauffeured off to her next visit at Tower Bridge in the back of a police 4×4 Range Rover.
Earlier in the day, the Queen had paid a visit to Aldgate tube stop where she was given a guided tour of the station. Perhaps she would have been better off sticking to the tube and leaving the limo at home?!
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.
