Happy Mondays' Bez is a fugitive - Daily Gossip

Jared pulls Le Bon, The Wanted get flooded, Keith Richards' hat – your music gossip stop

Welcome to the Daily Gossip: your daily stop-off to find out who in the world of music has been up to what.

Today’s top gossip:

Happy Mondays' dancer Bez is on the run from police. He's reported to have broken a restraining order by phoning and texting ex-girlfriend Monica Ward repeatedly, and has now fled his home as police try to find him. A Greater Manchester Police source said: "We will arrest him when we find him. Attempts are being made to track him down. We may need to get another police force involved." Bez spent four weeks in jail earlier this year after being convicted of assaulting Ward (The Sun).

From the papers:

Kings Of Leon's Jared Followill pulled Simon Le Bon's model daughter Amber while partying at Whisky Mist in London recently. Now there's a relationship guaranteed to work (The Sun).

Keith Richards' 'Man From Del Monte' fedora hat made another public appearance last night (November 3), heading out to dinner with its owner and his kids at London's Ivy restaurant. The Rolling Stones man is seemingly inseparable from the headgear of late, having worn it while on the piss with Johnny Depp, for a signing session at a branch of Waterstone's in London and in all manner of press interviews for his new book Life (various).

Proof in these doomed days that there most definitely still is a god out there. New boy band The Wanted's London apartment was flooded after a water pipe burst. They're said to be gutted and have lost laptops, PlayStations and more to the water (The Sun).

Kylie Minogue and Theo from Hurts met for a few drinks ahead of their appearances on The X Factor this weekend. Yep, you read that right: Hurts are on The X Factor (various).

Muse's Matt Bellamy and girlfriend Kate Hudson are taking the next big step in their relationship – Matt's flying his parents out to Santa Monica to spend Christmas with Kate's family, including her mother and step-father Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell (The Sun).

Mark Ronson has threatened to work with Stevie Wonder (Daily Star).
