Big Brother Winner Josie Gibson Turns Princess

 Big Brother Winner Josie Gibson Turns Princess
In her billowing white dress, it looks like Big Brother 11 winner Josie Gibson was dropping wedding hints to her boyfriend John James Parton.

But in fact the reality TV star was actually dresses as a princess for her royal-themed fancy dress party to celebrate her 26th birthday.

The Bristol blonde was joined by her Aussie boyfriend and a host of Big Brother stars at the Jewel bar in Piccadilly Circus.
After the party wrapped up at midnight, Josie was seen wondering around the street of London in her fancy dress outfit - which consisted of a corseted white dress and fuchsia gloves.

It appeared she had also substituted a pair of high heels for some comfortable Haviana flip-flops.

Nowhere to be seen was her Australian boyfriend John James - who she met on the defunct Channel 4 reality show last summer - who had been DJing in the party.

The reality star was clearly a bit merry after admitting the morning after the night before on her Twitter page she was a 'drunken twit'.

Writing on her Twitter page on Saturday, she said: 'I'm cringing today. Remembering what a drunken twit I am. Oh no...

'Oh no I keep getting flashbacks from last night. I'm sorry to anyone that was there.'

She also sent a Tweet to Big Brother 9 contestant Lisa Appleton - who attended the party - admitting she had fallen asleep in her fancy dress costume.

She said: 'Thank you so much for coming. I still got my dress on. LOL. Thank you so much.'

Also in attendance at the party was Big Brother 11 alumni JJ Bird and Mario Mugan, The Only Way Is Essex Candy Jacobs and Mikey Woods and Vanessa Feltz's boyfriend Ben Ofoedu.

Josie's birthday was actually in January, but she only got round to celebrating it now.

In recent weeks she has been promoting her debut perfume Josie.

Gibson won the 11th series of Big Brother last August and went on to appear on Ultimate Big Brother.

But she found it hard to fit in with the other celebrities and was pining for her boyfriend John James so quit the follow-up show after three days.

Since leaving the show, Gibson and Parton have moved in together in London and co-starred in a one-off Channel 5 documentary together last October.

In an interview last month, Gibson admitted the pair have come close to splitting several times.

She said: 'I think we've both considered calling it quits a few times. But I love him. John's really loyal and if he loves you he'll do anything for you.'

Secret Negotiations Reveal Why Mel Gibson's Ex Turned Down $16 Million

Posted by Shazy on Friday, February 18, 2011


Oksana Grigorieva wanted $20 million from Mel Gibson in exchange for keeping her secretly recorded -- and terrifying -- audio tapes of the actor's infamous, bigoted rant private. Though her side of the story is that she wasn't asking for the money as part of a hush deal, but rather making good on what she, as mother of Gibson's child, is owed.

An article in today's Los Angeles Times exposes previously unknown communications and new details about the secret legal negotiations that led to one of the nastiest court battles in Hollywood history. Gibson and Grigorieva continue to spar over custody of their baby daughter, Lucia, and attorneys for both have been urged by a judge to avoid the media since the exes' dirty laundry -- including those terrible tapes -- leaked onto Radar Online, TMZ and other outlets on a continuous loop.

And now, the origin story:

According to the Times,, which reviewed texts, emails and documents pertaining to the case, it all began a year ago -- literally, it was in February of 2010 -- when Grigorieva sought a lawyer after Gibson told her she needed representation as he was preparing to add their baby, Lucia, to his estate plan.

Grigorieva -- a Russian singer whom Gibson began dating while still married to ex-wife Robyn -- was "not entitled to any of the actor's fortune under the terms of a 2009 cohabitation agreement that said she would get only a year's free rent in a Sherman Oaks home Gibson owned and a Dodge Charger if they split," the Times reports.

So the singer -- armed with the tapes and photos -- assembled a legal team that met with his lawyers to hash out a settlement. She initially asked for $20 million but he offered $18 million. They eventually agreed on a $16 million deal in May. The deal included joint child custody, $11 million toward Lucia, and, for Grigorieva, more than $5 million and, just to sweeten the deal, a Steinway piano from Gibson's Malibu home.

Grigorieva later reneged, claiming she was coerced into signing the agreement. The case is still at family court.

Meanwhile, amid the back-and-forth, Gibson and Grigorieva had kept in touch with a faint glimmer of reconciliation.

"You don't call. You don't accept my invitation to come. You hand tapes around & jeopardize us all," he texted Grigorieva on the day his team legal team was offering her an $18 million settlement.

Her reply: "I wouldn't have played ur messages if u were keeping ur word."

While Grigorieva was traveling in Russia last April, he emailed to tell her he had given their daughter, Lucia, a glow-in-the-dark rosary. "I have said prayers for you too," he wrote.

So, kinda like a lot of confused/confusing texts and emails exes send after breakups, only much, much more ill-advised.

As of right now, the deal remains unsettled (in more ways than one), and allegations of extortion on Grigorieva's part persist. Her lawyers insist she really just loved Gibson and that they are just doing what lawyers do: negotiate for money.
