ITV New Reality Series
The opening edition of the show will be screened on ITV1 in the 23:00 slot and the remainder will be broadcast on ITV2.

Ten celebrities are given the task of producing their own brand new weekly celebrity magazine under the leadership of "magazine editor" Janet Street-Porter in the new ITV reality series Deadline, starting on Wednesday, April 4.

The "picture editor" is Darryn Lyons and "copy editor" is Joe Mott.

Former EastEnders actor Chris Parker and Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson are among the celebrities rumoured to be taking part.

They are set to work alongside Meg Mathews - former wife of Oasis singer Noel Gallagher - and Charles Kennedy, ex-Liberal Democrat leader.

As usual, if one of the celebrities fails to deliver they will be fired.

Peaches' pap putdown



Just three words sum up this clip from tonight's ITV2 reality show Deadline... Oh. My. God. Watch Ingrid Tarrant as she tries to persuade Peaches Geldof to let her take her picture. As Peaches puts it: "Ingrid, you've lost all your dignity." Also in tonight's show see Pierce Brosnan tell Dom Joly: "You're a pain in the f**king arse aren't you, you little fat f**k." It all makes Hugh Grant look like a pussy cat, doesn't it? guardian

Joe Mott quits Daily Star




The Daily Star's showbusiness columnist, Joe Mott, has quit the paper.

Mott is understood to be leaving the Star to concentrate on writing and television work.

He joined the paper full-time in the summer of 2002 and took over editing the Hot column after Ben Todd and then Sean Hamilton left.

Last year he became the subject of stories himself after he began dating the Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding. However, as revealed in yesterday's Sun, the pair recently split.

Mott recently took time out from editing his column to appear as a judge in ITV2 magazine reality show Deadline, along with Janet Street-Porter.

It is thought that either Carl Stroud or Kim Dawson - who have been covering while Mott appeared on Deadline - will take over Mott's Hot column. guardian
