Booze Bender for EastEnder.

It is believed that EastEnder’s Stacey Branning will be fighting for her life in hospital after a drugs and booze binge.

The 19-year-old, played by Lacey Turner, has to burn the stock from her market stall after finding out everything is faulty.

After the break-up of her marriage to Bradley, played by Charlie Clements, Stacey hasn’t had the best time lately and sees the collapse of her business as the final straw.

After washing a cocktail of drugs down with a bottle of vodka, she heads off to a nightclub where she collapses and has to be rushed to hospital.

The story comes after much speculation that soaps are becoming too risky for their pre-watershed timeslots.

With murders, rapes and abductions becoming everyday occurrences in Walford, Corrie and the Dales, are the soaps going too far for ratings?

Goodbye Beadle.

Television Prankster Jeremy Beadle has died after being admitted to hospital with pneumonia.

As one of the most successful TV personalities of the 80’s, Beadle attracted audiences of 15 million with You’ve Been Framed, Game For a Laugh and Beadle’s About.

Not only was he the funny man, he also put a lot of time and effort into helping charities and is thought to have raised more than £100 million.

One charity particularly close to the star was Children with Leukemia, which he was diagnosed with in 2005. He also had a kidney removed due to cancer.

All of this hard work did not go unnoticed though and in 2001, deservingly so, Mr Beadle was awarded an MBE.

Although he battled with ill health for many years, this did not stop the Beadle.

He released three books in autumn of 2007 and was working on TV ideas before falling ill with pneumonia.

Leaving behind his wife Sue, daughters Cassie and Bonnie, and his stepchildren Leo and Claire, Beadle will be missed by many.

The Arctic Monkey's Record NME Nominations.

The Arctic Monkeys look set to steal the show at the NME music awards after receiving a record seven nominations.

The Sheffield band is nominated for Best British Band, Best Album and Artwork, Best Live Band, Best Track with Florescent Adolescent and Best Video for Teddy Picker.

Front-man, Alex Turner is also up for the Best Dressed award at the ceremony on 28th February.

Rising to fame with the fastest selling debut album to date, The Arctic Monkey’s are now NME magazine’s band of the decade after being nominated 15 times for awards.

Competition will come in the form of the Klaxons who have been nominated for four awards, three of which are in the same categories as the famous foursome.

Nominated for Best Band, Best Video, Best Album, and Best Dancefloor Filler, the Klaxons could disappoint The Arctic Monkeys again, after beating to the Mercury Music Prize with their debut album, Myths of the Near Future.

Also up for four nominations is Amy Winehouse, who went into rehab last week.

The Back to Black singer is up for awards including Worst Dressed and Villian of the Year.

Other nominations include Oasis returning to the nominations list with Lord Don’t Slow Me Down up for Best Music DVD and Beat Track.

Not surprisingly Radiohead’s In Rainbows has been nominated for best album, which they allowed fan’s to download for whatever price they wished.

No matter what the nominations, it’s going to take some hard work to keep The Arctic Monkeys from going home with a collection of the gongs.
