It takes the old adage 'I wouldn't want to meet her in an elevator' to a whole new level, and I bet those words will be ringing in rapper Jay Z's ears forevermore, after his sister-in-law Solange Knowles launched a bizarrely chilling attack on him.

Caught on camera in a New York hotel lift, Beyoncé's li'l sis was seen raining more than a couple of nasty blows on the rapper, while her big sis oddly just stood close by.


The cause of the fallout has not been confirmed, but reports suggest frustration over her own singing career and false promises from her music manager brother-in-law could be to blame. Other reports have suggested Solange was annoyed that Jay Z was planning on attending a party for singer Rihanna without his wife.

The plot seemingly thickened with Beyoncé posting a stream of 'me and my sis' pictures on her social networking sites shortly after the incident. Hmm, all very odd, and more than a little shocking to see such a violent outburst of physical abuse. Whatever the issues, I hope this otherwise happy family sort their gripes out and come back fighting - although, please people, not literally!

The BAFTA Television Awards dominated the front pages this week. One of THE events in the annual showbiz calendar, this year's didn't disappoint.

A scorching hot day helped set the perfect scene in London's Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, with celebs grateful to be able to ditch their coats and brollies for once to show off their fashion finery.

A great night for the cast and crew of Broadchurch, who picked up umpteen awards including Leading Actress for the fabulous Olivia Colman - keeping it real as always, tearfully thanking her parents for babysitting and paying tribiute to her husband for 'allowing her to follow her dreams'. Ahhh.

Ant & Dec also walked away with two gongs for Entertainment Programme and Entertainment Performance. These two need to build a flipping annex for their ever-growing award stash at this rate!

Everyone (well, almost everyone) looked stunning in their bought, borrowed and blagged threads. Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Laura Whitmore and Tess Daly all looked fab, but it was supermodel Naomi Campbell who wowed in her revealing grey number, certainly defying her 44 years.

Some more than deserving winners, a cracking night, and a plethora of next-day hangovers to prove it. Bring on next year!

Big Brother is almost upon us again. The reality TV gift that keeps giving will be back for the 'regulars' summer series, and this week we were given a sneaky peek of what we can expect from our most famous fish bowl. A futuristic, techy makeover has been bestowed not only on the house interior, but on the theme too.

Big Brother: Power Trip promises to be bigger and better than ever and will be kicking off on June 5, with the celeb one soon to follow. The rumour mill is already in overdrive, with Benefits Street's White Dee, Eurovision winner bearded man Conchita Wurst and lads' mag favourite Helen Flanagan all tipped to be 'going in'.

Whether it can live up to the triumph that was the last series remains to be seen. The casting team will be sweating buckets trying their darndest too, I'm sure.

And this week, I joined a whole host of celebs for Reveal's Online Fashion Awards. A packed DSTRKT nightclub in London's Piccadilly played host to the event, which saw Gok Wan and Millie Mackintosh among the winners and TOWIE's teeny tiny Sam Faiers pick up the Most Stylish Celeb award. Some delish cocktails and a fab goodie bag to boot, what's not to love?
