Jedward and Tara are ‘great friends’

Sharknado actress TARA REID is such great friends with pop duo JEDWARD that the Irish twins have introduced her to their granny.

Jedward, aka John and Edward Grimes, revealed they took Tara on a trip all around Ireland and hosted her at the Grimes family home for a month.

They said: “Our granny thought she was Marilyn Monroe. She had a diamond watch, and we said that the Queen gave that to Tara. But it was really cool, our granny really liked her and we took her all around Ireland.”

The twins, who have a cameo in Sharknado 3, backed up co-star Tara’s call for a future Sharknado movie to be filmed in the UK - or Ireland.

They revealed they’d accepted their roles in Sharknado for posterity’s sake: “We’re best friends with Tara, so it made sense for us to be in the movie, so it’s something we can talk about when we’re all 80 and telling our children and grandkids.”

KATY PERRY has seemingly got her claws stuck into TAYLOR SWIFT following her Twitter to and fro with NICKI MINAJ over the MTV VMA nominations.

Taylor sent Nicki a message on social media after the Anaconda star complained that she had been overlooked for the video of the year category in favour of “other” girls. Taylor has nine nominations, including video of the year for Bad Blood, and she hit back at Nicki accusing her of pitting women against each other.

Now Katy has waded into the debate, apparently accusing Taylor of capitalising on their own fall-out in the song Bad Blood.

She tweeted: “Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman...”

Singers Katy and Taylor seemed to have been friends in the past, but hints of a rift emerged when Taylor spoke about her now-released song Bad Blood, which she said was about another female artist who she had fallen out with.

Former Doctor Who star SYLVESTER MCCOY has said that, in his opinion, only a man can play the role of the Time Lord.

There has been a lot of talk recently about a woman playing the next Doctor, but Sylvester doesn’t agree.

He is quoted in the Daily Mirror as saying: “I’m a feminist and recognise there are still glass ceilings in place for many women, but where would we draw the line? A Mr Marple instead of Miss Marple? A Tarzanette?

“I’m sorry, but no - Doctor Who is a male character, just like James Bond. If they changed it to be politically correct then it would ruin the dynamics between the Doctor and the assistant, which is a popular part of the show.

“I support feminism, but I’m not convinced by the cultural need of a female Doctor Who.”

GAIL PORTÉR could be taking part in Celebrity Big Brother, according to reports.

A source told the Sun: “Gail has had an absolutely hellish few years, both mentally and physically. But she is starting to come through it and feels ready to go into the house”.
