Samantha Womack, the actress who plays Ronnie Mitchell in the hugely popular BBC One soap EastEnders is to leave the show, in the midst of the mass controversy of her character’s current cot death storyline.

Womack confirmed her exit to journalists waiting outside her London home, but an explanation was absent. “I understand why there has been a lot of anger and complains about the story line. I can confirm I am leaving the show, but other than that I can’t really say,” she told reporters. Despite this, Womack insisted in a press release by the BBC that the decision had nothing to do with the storyline. Seems difficult to believe!

The actress was looking stressed and troubled as she returned to her home last night, as it seems the rapidly increasing heat on the programme’s storyline has got the best of her.

The BBC have recently found themselves in deep trouble thanks to the storyline, in which Ronnie’s (played by Womack) new born baby dies, and she secretly swaps him with another character, Kat’s baby, who was born on the same day. Before the scenes had even aired the storyline was gaining controversy, but now it is one of the show’s most furiously debated storylines in history. Over 6000 complaints have been sent into the BBC, and producers at the show have made the tough decision to shorten the story, even though it is likely to still carry on into spring.

EastEnders is famous for tackling tough issues in the past, but it is amongst the belief of many that they have handled this extremely sensitive topic in a bad way, including former TV host Miss Diamond, who lost her son Sebastian from cot death 20 years ago. She told the Daily Mail: “I was worried it would be shocking, but I was revolted. Many cot death parents I have spoken to are. They are milking a tragedy.”

It has also recently emerged that the team of writers for the show were reluctant to take part in the story, which raises the question, why was it not handled more sensitively?

Is Samantha right for leaving the show? Were EastEnders right for tackling such an issue? Let us know your views in the comments below.

For those worried at the title, it isn’t a spelling mistake. I know many people may think it means Posh & Becks… but don’t fear, it does actually mean what it says. With David Beckham’s imminent move back to the UK he is selling his beloved Porsche which he has cruised around in for 2 years in Beverly Hills.

If you are a fan of David Beckham and fancy buying his Porsche, this is your chance. In less than one day of bidding on Ebay, the car has already reached over $100,000! If you have a gold mine saved up for this type of offer, then you should definitely get yourself on the site. It has had over $50,000 of customized work on it also, which makes it stand out from the rest, and what’s more, the matt black colour is particularly rare.Before this article turns into an advert for the car, Beckham didn’t pay me off to write this, I swear, I will move on. The Beckham’s have already enrolled their kids, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8 and Cruz, 5 into a private school for 3 months, in Hertfordshire, close to their house, “Beckingham Palace“. At the same time, Beckham waits in the wings to hear about the next stage in his career, and his possible stint for Tottenham Hotspur.

The car is expected to sell for much higher than its value due to the uniqueness and the fact it has an unparalleled celebrity status, especially in the vicinity of Beverly Hills where people know who the driver is when they see it.

It’s your chance to bid for a celebrity styled car, will you go for it?

It would seem that Miley Cyrus, or Hannah Montana, the former Disney golden girl isn’t haven’t such a great time of it lately.

In a resent poll 13% of Americans have voted they wanted to hear and see less of the teenage pop star come actress in 2011. This has come on the back on the bong scandal, which hasn’t seemed to have affected Miley very much as one of her friends was quoted saying “she doesn’t care she has just got on with filming her new film and is moving on with her life.” The aforementioned bong scandal was when a video of Miley smoking from a bong was released. 

Her latest album was less than a success with her single “can’t be tamed” giving her a slag tag with much of the teen age audience which once admired her in Disney’s Hannah Montana the series and the movie. Since she has left them her reputation has gone down as she tired to break free from the image of the “innocent disney girl” but has she gone too far in the opposite direction? 

When you’re a role model to so many young girls, and boys, across the globe you can’t be seen doing “normal teenage things” (in the loosest sence of the phrase) like smoking from a bong. You have to step up and take the responsibility and her rescnt decline in popularity is a reflection on that.

What do you think on this? are you a fan of Miley, leave us a comment!

Many years have passed since David Beckham first came to our attention. Everyone knows him as the good-looking, pure British type that just loves his football, and he is just that. His passion for the sport hasn’t died down, and when other players at his age begin their decisions to retire, David Beckham continue on, without an end in sight.

At 35-years-old, Beckham continues to move forward, looking for new challenges. Ever since he started playing football, he was said to be hooked. Beginning his career at a local football club, Brimsdown Rovers, he went on to become player of the year for the club in 1990. It wasn’t long after that, that he moved onto bigger and better things. Most notably his stint at Manchester United, which was a life changing position, and one that gave him spotlight all over the country.

Due to some controversy issues with manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, he left the club in 2003 and joined Spanish giants, Real Madrid. Since then, he has spent his life abroad, and finally settling in the USA, where he now plays for L.A Galaxy. Now with their season at an end, Beckham has spoken of his wish to come and play football back in the UK. He has initially said he would never play for another Premier League team, besides Manchester United, however that rule has seemingly diminished.

With Tottenham struggling to find a permanent man on the right, Harry Redknapp has conscripted his staff to get in touch with L.A Galaxy to discuss him coming to play for them. Redknapp insists that it is not a rush-buy, but that he feels David Beckham could offer a lot to the club, especially in the role of being influential to younger players.

Do you think L.A Galaxy will release one of their star men? Let us know by leaving a comment!
