IT seems ellie Goulding isn’t
afraid to think outside the box
when it comes to weddings. Ahead
of her Castle Howard reception
yesterday, the pop star, 32, sent
guests intricately carved wooden
boxes filled with Big Day details,
trinkets and a photo of herself and
new husband Caspar Jopling, 27.
Family and friends also received
strict instructions to leave their
mobiles at home. Now the wedding
is over, keep checking eBay – I hear
those boxes will be highly prized!
PoP princess Katy Perry could
summer anywhere in the world –
so why has she chosen Henley-
on-Thames, home to her gobby ex,
Russell Brand?
I’m told that Katy has been spend-
ing time at fiance orlando Bloom’s
oxfordshire house, popping up in
nearby Henley for the occasional
lunch. But Katy – dazzling in a
sunny yellow patterned dress, right,
when I met her at a London event
last week – may want to steer
clear of the historic Thameside
town that Brand now calls home, as
he has reportedly declared a wish
to apologise for dumping her by
text in 2011.
Run for it, Katy, it’s too risky!
Careful Katy...
you’re running
a terrible risk!
Conservationist Damian
aspinall may have raised a pet
cheetah, but his wildcat daughter
Clary aspinall seems impossible to
tame and i have to admire her
chutzpah. Clary, 27, escaped to La
for the summer and has posted a
series of racy pictures like this one
(right) from Malibu, Hollywood and
Beverly Hills. Her mother, Louise
sebag Montefiore, is said to be keen
for her to return to London.
Clary is said to be struggling to
narrow down her career options.
at one stage she wanted to be a
singer, then a make-up artist. in
March, she got a Louis vuitton
tattoo below her ear. she said
it was a ‘joke’ which, friends
suspected, was at the expense
of her stepmum victoria Fisher,
33, who works for rival fashion
house Burberry. in June, Clary
posted a cryptic message on
instagram: ‘We are not
going to be friends.’

Talk of the Town

irisH comedienne aisling Bea has revealed how she was once told
to ‘shut the f*** up when Daddy’s talking’ by a male colleague.
aisling – who found fame on the stand-up comedy circuit and on panel
shows such as Qi – admitted the comment almost broke her confidence.
‘after one show, i asked for feedback so i could get better,’ the 35-year-
old said. ‘one of the male comedians said, “Put it this way; a panel show
is a family and when Daddy is talking the little girl shuts the f*** up”.’
aisling has banked millions starring alongside Hollywood comedy
legend Paul rudd in a new netflix series – so who’s having the last laugh?
Has Kitty caught a husband?
IT SEEMS Ed Sheeran had a
lucky escape when he broke
up with fellow pop songwriter Nina
Nesbitt. I can reveal Nina thrashes
about so much in bed she has to be
restrained by her new boyfriend
Mike Duce. It’s not as kinky as it
sounds. Nina (left) suffers from
night terrors and lashes out so
violently in her sleep that Mike, also
a rocker, zips her into a sleeping
bag as he tries to get some shut-eye.
Nina, 25, reveals: ‘I do have a
problem with violence in my sleep.
I lash out and attack people. My
boyfriend needs to get a sleeping
bag to restrain me. I will shove and
kick him but I am not aware of it.
He thinks I secretly hate him.’
FRIENDS of Lady Kitty
Spencer tell me she is
expecting a proposal from
Michael Lewis, the fashion
tycoon more than twice
her age who she began
dating almost a year ago.
The reason her pals are
so sure? Apparently
Lady Kitty, 28, woke up
one morning with her
previous boyfriend,
property magnate Niccolo
Barattieri, and asked him
bluntly if he planned to
propose one day. When he
said no, she immediately
left the house. But
Michael, 60 (right with
Kitty) has been able to
reassure her he is open to
marriage one day.
Now we must just wait
for an announcement
from Princess Diana’s
niece...
CRUSH OF THE WEEK... Clary Aspinall
Wildcat who’s impossible to tame
Wow! Going
bankrupt can
be SUCH fun
PoSING on a superyacht as you cruise the
Med, dancing at Ibiza’s most expensive
nightclub and quaffing seafood at a restau-
rant so expensive it doesn’t bother to list
the eye-watering prices – welcome to a
week in the luxury life of Daniella Helayel...
who has just been declared bankrupt.
The Brazilian designer, 44, who made
the Duchess of Cambridge’s sapphire
‘engagement dress’, seemed determined
not to let her financial troubles spoil her
holiday, as she posed onboard for Insta-
gram pictures, alongside chums Katia
Francesconi, fiancee of New York Giants
owner Steve Tisch, and former Miss Bra-
zil Natalya Anderle.
Katia was also with Daniella last month
when the pair visited Cliveden House,
England’s most expensive country hotel.
Last week the trio enjoyed a night out at
Ibiza club Lío, where tables can cost £5,000
a night, a visit to the Blue Marlin Beach
Club – sunbeds a mere £400 – and a trip to
exclusive Formentera seafood restaurant
Juan y Andrea where, darling, if you have
to ask the price you can’t afford it!
Kate Wins Let will be forever haunted by
declaring on tv’s Who Do You think You are?
that she’d be ‘disgusted’ to find out she was
descended from wealth. now i’ve dug up this
chat from my archives. ‘i will never tire of the
whole People Bringing Me things in hotels,’ the
privileged actress told me. ‘it’s brilliant; they
always bring extra things... which i find rather
thrilling.’ Kate (right), married to a cousin of
richard Branson, is worth £62 million.
