EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.
Acknowledging the fact that Wednesday would have been Michael Jackson’s 60th birthday, Janet Jackson uploaded an amusing new video to Instagram.
Featuring Instagram comedians Kwaylon ‘BlameItOnKway’ Rogers and Andrew ‘Kign Bach’ Bachelor, it’s a nod to Michael Jackson’s nine-minute-long 1992 ‘Remember The Time’ music video starring Eddie Murphy, Iman and Magic Johnson.
It stars Janet as an Egyption queen who Rogers and Bachelor are trying to impress with their dance moves, to save their lives.
Hundreds of fans replied to Janet’s post about the video on Twitter, many of which said that Michael Jackson would laugh if he could see it.
Katie Price has been ‘dropped by her glam squad’ after failing to pay them on time.
As Katie Price’s financial struggles continue, her makeup artists, hairdressers and stylists have abandoned her, as they never know when they’ll be paid for their work. A source told the Sun that Katie “expects people to work for her and just wait for the money to arrive”, but it usually is weeks before they see their wages.
The source added “there are several people who used to work with Katie all the time, but won’t touch her with a bargepole now.” Katie’s rep told The Mirror that her financial situation is improving and she’s “moving forward in her current situation.”

Ed Sheeran confirmed that he’s going to play himself in Danny Boyle’s new film.
The movie, by the Trainspotting director, is about a man who wakes up to discover that he is the only person in the world who remembers The Beatles. Ed’s character will “discover him and take him on tour”, and eventually the man will get even bigger than Ed Sheeran, off the hard work of The Beatles.
Ed’s excited for the role, and says that his brief cameo in Game of Thrones equipped him with the acting skills that he’ll need for the upcoming movie. The film is set to be released in September 2019. All of Ed’s filming was completed earlier this year while he was touring. (RTÉ)
