Patsy Talks To The Sun
Sprawled under a Union Flag duvet cover with her rock star husband and two failed marriages behind her, Patsy Kensit was an icon of Cool Britannia.
Yet that was a decade ago. Now things could scarcely be more different.
Today’s Patsy is no longer seen out partying. She is a dedicated mum and star of that very cosy institution Holby City.
The actress admits the transformation is deliberate, and coincided with her split from Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher — who was sharing that duvet.
She says: “I changed a lot of things about my life seven years ago. There’s so much harmony now.
“I knew I had to change things. I didn’t want to live like that any more. The drama happens at work now, not at home. My life is all about my kids.
She is coy about her new love but happily opens up about sons James, 14, by Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr, and Lennon, her seven-year-old by Liam.
The relations between the boys and their real fathers may seem complicated but Patsy describes it as harmonic.
She says: “Poor Lennon is covering all his bases when it comes to soccer.
“He likes Manchester City because of Liam, Spurs because of my father, Arsenal because of his brother and Celtic because Jim will give him £20 if he says he’s a Celtic fan.
“I get on really well with Liam and Nicole, who is lovely.
The kids appear to be suitably rock’n’roll. Both love music and acting, James “turns the air blue” at Arsenal matches and both are “unimpressed” by what their famous parents do.
But they are capable of being big softies when they’re around their mum.
Patsy says: “On Mother’s Day James — typical teenager — wasn’t out of bed and didn’t even buy me a card and I thought, ‘OK, that’s all right’.
“Lennon bought me some chocolates in bed and, of course, we had to eat them immediately because it was a present for me, but he wanted to scoff half of them!
She also wants her boys to go to university, something neither she nor their fathers ever did.
She says: “I want them to have their childhood. I don’t feel any resentment about what my parents did for me — but I want something different for my children. I’m grateful for what my parents did because it got me out of where I was but the idea of working at such a young age is very unhealthy to me.”
Far from being a rock chick, she is intensely serious about her work and has thrown herself into her new role as Holby nurse Faye Morton.
“This has been the best period of my life so I just hope it continues.”

Last Time I Went To Wembley I Didn't Play.. Oasis Did
Some Might Say David Bentley should be with the full England squad rather than making history with the Under-21s at the new Wembley.
But the Blackburn player will not Look Back In Anger as his only visit to the last Wembley brings back some Wonderwall memories.
"The only time I went to the old Wembley was for a concert to watch Oasis," he said. "It was a brilliant day out. I was right at the front, going for it and I looked back and there was just a swarm of 100,000 people who loved it.
"I got right to the front because my mate's dad is manager of Paul Weller and that was a great experience because I was 14 or 15.
"Funnily enough, I'm going to see Noel Gallagher next week doing an acoustic set in Manchester.
"But playing at the new Wembley in the first proper game there will be a dream come true for me and I hope I'll be going back a bit more often."
Bentley has been in terrific form this season and his performances have led to calls for him to be promoted to the senior England squad.

Smashing Hotel Rooms? What Visiting Stars Do In Korea
When British rock group Oasis visited, they encountered some young fans of the Korean boy band TVXQ in front of the group’s agency SM Entertainment in Apgujeong, Seoul. Some of them recognized the world famous group and followed them. Some 10 minutes later, Noel Gallagher asked them why they kept following and gave them his autograph to send them away.

EBay Auction Ends For £1,800
The rare footage from Gleneagles has finished for £1,800 on eBay earlier today.
The unique video captures a demo gig given by the Burnage rockers to Sony music executives back in February 1994 at Gleneagles in Scotland - before the release of their first single.

Drummer: Definitely Pay Me
Oasis coughed up £348,000 to sacked drummer Alan White.
Noel and Liam told the sticksman to beat it in 2004, after nine years with the band.
The huge pay-off, revealed in newly released accounts, was made to keep the furious drummer sweet and buy him out of the lads’ company Definitely Maybe.
At the time, frontman Liam said the axe fell because Alan chose his missus over the band.
He said: “Turns out he’s hanging out with his bird in Spain.
“Once the word bird and Spain are mentioned together it’s like, OK, Oasis vs girlfriend.”
Some Might Say that sounds a tad hypocritical from the bloke who cancelled a gig after a tiff with his brother!
Still, it’s not like the Gallaghers can’t afford huge pay-offs to sacked band members every now and then.
And it looked like Liam was spending big on Friday too, when he went shopping in London’s Bond Street with girlfriend NICOLE APPLETON. The pair visited posh jewellers Tiffany & Co. Do I sense a wedding in the air? They are not saying. Or maybe Liam bought a Mother’s Day trinket for Nic. Whatever, I bet it cost a pretty penny.
Alan may consider he’s got a few quid now too — but he may Look Back In Anger . . .
That £348,000 doesn’t come close to the amount previous drummer TONY McCARROLL was paid when axed in 1995.
Tony had threatened to sue the band for £18Million in lost royalties. He eventually walked away with £550,000.
The recently released company accounts show Alan’s pay-off and payments of £300,000 to Liam and Noel meant Definitely Maybe, their touring and merchandising company, made a loss of £948,383 in 2005.
Fortunately Liam and Noel’s company Big Brother Recordings is the main cash cow.
They’re still rolling in it, as well as with it.

Bootleg Crook's £564,000 Seized
Crook who ripped off Robbie Williams, Oasis and the Rolling Stones has dirty money fortune seized.
A Scots music man who faces losing the £1million fortune he made from bootleg CDs of concerts by Robbie Williams, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones.
Peter Cruickshank, 46, has run stalls at record fairs across Britain and Ireland for 10 years.
He protests his trade is only a hobby and appears to live modestly in his mother's house. But he owns an MG sports car and other vehicles and is building a villa in Marbella.
He was caught in December 2003 with £30,000 of bootleg CDs in a van at Stranraer's ferry terminal.
His haul included live recordings of Led Zeppelin, Abba, Aerosmith, Beach Boys, David Gray, Elvis, Eagles, Iron Maiden, Manic Street Preachers, Pink Floyd, Robbie Williams, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Bon Jovi, Eminem, Oasis, Paul Weller and Queen.
Now Cruickshank has had the proceeds from his trade - worth £564,000 - frozen by the Crown Office.
The music industry loses £165million a year from piracy and bootlegging.
A British Phonographic Institute spokesman said: "These lost sales amount to the combined legal sales of the top 13 best-selling albums in the UK last year."
Bootleg CDs of Oasis' performance at the Brits in January appeared on eBay within an hour.
Last night Cruickshank, who lives in his mum's house in Bearsden, Glasgow, claimed he had quit.
He said: "They have frozen everything, including the van and car.
"Most of my money is from legitimate sources such as selling back catalogues and deletions.
"Only about 20 per cent of it was from bootlegging. But I did not keep accounts for six years or pay tax and the authorities would rather chaseme than real criminals.
"I am only breaking copyright regulations but record companies are spending millions of pounds to try to catch people like me."
The former bus company worker claims he made most of his money when he invested his redundancy payout in 1990 by buying the entire stock of a London record company.
He said: "I bought bootleg CDs in bulk from Italy. I don't make them myself. We've tried to reach a settlement on what I owe but the Crown want everything." The Crown Office confirmed they are seeking a confiscation order.
In 1998 police raided Cruickshank's home and took 50,000 pirate CDs and cassettes, worth £500,000. But he was not prosecuted.
In 2000 Cruickshank was caught selling 2000 CDs on a stall at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre and fined £600.
Last week he was given a year's deferred sentence for selling illegal recordings after pleading guilty at Stranraer Sheriff Court.
It follows years of investigation by police, trading standards officers and the British Phonographic Institute. A BPI investigator said: "These guys are making more money than major drug dealers."
Top 5 bootlegs:
1. THE BEATLES: Anthology Plus - recordings of studio sessions for the BBC in the mid-1960s.
2. LED ZEPPELIN: Rare Zep concerts can cost hundreds but most sought after are BBC sessions.
3. BOB DYLAN: The most prized bootleg is a 1966 recording, Live At The Royal Albert Hall.
4. THE ROLLING STONES: A 1969 tape, Stoned In The Park, of a Hyde Park concert in London, when Mick Jagger paid tribute to drowning victim Brian Jones fetches big money.
5. PRINCE: A studio recording, The Black Album, planned as a follow up to Sign Of The Times was huge on the blackmarket before being officially released in 1994.
The confiscation order means Peter Cruickshank could lose all his assets under the Proceeds of Crime Act:
Two white Transit vans £50,000
One MG sports car £20,000
Holiday home in Marbella £220,000
Shares, bank accounts, investments and personal possessions £276,000
Total £566,000
He also faces a £500,000 bill from the Customs and Inland Revenue to cover years of unpaid tax.

Wonderbrawl
Noel Gallagher's ex-wife Meg Matthews is planning to release an album called Wonderbrawl.
The interior designer - who was the inspiration for Oasis hit Wonderwall - has been attending music therapy sessions with her friends in London's Primrose Hill.
A source told the Daily Star: "Meg and some of the other Primrose Hill crew have been really enjoying these music therapy sessions. They're primarily designed to help people express emotions but they've also produced some pretty good tunes.
"One of Meg's favourites was a ballad about a row she had with Noel when they were breaking up. A friend said she could call it Wonderbrawl! Now she's talking about putting a whole album together under that title. She's good friends with Noel now and it's all down to this self-growth."

Sarah Harding & Chris Moyles Perform Morning Glory For Comic Relief
Sarah Harding proved she's one of the bravest women on this planet by agreeing to duet to Chris Moyles.
Sarah and Chris teamed up to perform the Oasis tune What's The Story (Morning Glory)to raise money for Comic Relief.
I'm told: "It's part of Chris' Rallyoke stunt.
Sarah said: "It'll be a laugh as long as Chris behaves himself. I'm looking forward to it.
"Oasis are one of my favourite bands so out of the songs I was given to chose from, this was the obvious one.
"I just hope Chris can give it as much welly as a Gallagher."
