No less than a "galaxy" of stars turned out to celebrate a milestone birthday for Daily Star and Daily Express owner Richard Desmond at Old Billingsgate in the the City of London. We know that because we read all about it in Friday's Daily Star. And, er… Daily Express. "Stars come out on a night to remember," reports the Star, breaking off from its shameless plugging of Desmond's Channel 5 to plug the boss himself. They did indeed, including Lord Sugar, Holly Valance and Peter Andre, not to mention Eamonn Holmes, Sir Philip Green and Max Clifford. Alas Jordan's former squeeze Alex Reid couldn't make it, but his fiancee Chantelle Houghton did, along with Desmond's fiancee Joy Canfield and son Robert. The Express describes it as a "glittering 40th birthday!!!! bash" – all those exclamation marks (dog's dicks in the trade) are presumably for people who don't realise it's a joke. Happy 60th, RD. Still crusading after all these years.
