GEORGE CLOONEY, ALAIN DELON and BRYAN FERRY’s ex-wives are set to give divorce advice on new Dutch and French TV shows.
Netherlands broadcasters RTL are producing EX-WIVES CLUBS, which will see French actor Delon’s former spouse ROSALIE VAN BREEMEN and two other divorces give married women tips on recovering from a break-up.
The idea is also being considered by French channel TF1, who are considering asking Clooney’s ex-wife TALIA BALSAM and Ferry’s former spouse MARGARET MARY ‘LUCY’ HELMORE, to give their advice.
Van Breemen says, "A pilot show has been taped and TF1 will probably make a series," adding the French show would be more restrained that the Dutch version.
The RTL programme shows ex-model Van Breemen helped wronged women to move on by burning their wedding dresses.

Musicmaker DALLAS AUSTIN has alleged female pop stars CHRISTINA AGUILERA and JOSS STONE offered to perform sexual favours in exchange for his producing skills on their albums.
The Grammy-winning songwriter - who has produced songs for MICHAEL JACKSON, MADONNA and TLC - accuses the singers of being so desperate to work with him, they would offer their bodies to him and his friends - including Aguilera’s now husband, JORDAN BRATMAN.
In the interview with Rowdy TV, the 36-year-old reveals details of his friends’ sexual exploits with the female singers and alleges the AIN’T NO OTHER MAN star fantasised about having a threesome with him and Bratman.
Austin produced tracks on Aguilera’s STRIPPED LP in 2002, when Bratman headed the A&R department at his DARP record label.
He says, "Christina Aguilera, Joss Stone… all these bitches be f**kin’ for tracks.
"You go in the studio with the regular girls like CIARA and them, they just want to get their work done. F**k all these bitches f**kin’ for tracks!" In the controversial interviews, Austin claims Stone, 19, had sexual relationships with former LUCY PEARL singer RAPHAEL SAADIQ and rapper/producer NOVEL while she recorded her latest album INTRODUCING JOSS SONTE.

Australian actor DAVID WENHAM has called on movie-goers to see gory war epic 300 with an open mind, because it is just entertainment.
The film - based on FRANK MILLER’s graphic novel - is about the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C., where a small Spartan army survived attacks from a massive Persian force for three days.
And though the ZACH SNYDER movie has received mixed reviews in the US, Wenham insists fans view it only as a means of entertainment.
Speaking at the movie’s premiere, he says, "I don’t really read the reviews; I haven’t paid any attention to it. At the end of the day, it’s entertainment based on a comic book so we didn’t really think about that when we made it." And his co-star LENA HEADEY, who plays QUEEN GORGO to GERARD BUTLER’s KING LEONIDAS, admits she didn’t think about how 300 would be received either.
She says, "For me it’s a process because you never know what the outcome is gonna be and we just had fun doing it.
"And when you see it on screen it’s just big and loud and it’s great!"

Director GEORGE MILLER is planning a long-awaited follow-up to his MAD MAX movies - but the action sequel will not include original leading man MEL GIBSON, because he’s too "old".
Australian Miller directed Gibson as police officer ‘MAD’ MAX ROCKATANSKY living in a post-apocalyptic world in three Mad Max movies in 1979, 1981 and 1985.
The HAPPY FEET director says, "I do want to make another Mad Max movie and get stuck back into that.
"It (the lead) won’t be Mel. He was 21 when he made the first one, now he’s a lot older and his passion is for film making and directing.
"I don’t think he is into acting and I don’t think he would be interested in being involved at all."

And despite the mix-up, the 50-year-old actor accepts the mistake could easily be made in the future.
He says, "(On) Saturday I rose from the dead and then died again.
"It’s gonna be more commonplace as the internet opens up more and more. It’s not that strange."

R&B star OMARION has thanked his mother for advising him to become a singer early on in his career - because now he gets lots of female attention.
The former B2K singer - who became a devout Christian and believer in abstinence a few years ago - now has a successful solo career to add to his resume, but he knows his fame is all down to his mother LESLIE’s useful advice.
He says, "Truthfully, I was really young when I started that rap group and my mom said something to me. She knew exactly what to say to me at that time.
"She said to me, ‘Omari, you might want to sing.’ I said, ‘Why?’ She said, ‘Because you know singers get all the women.’ I was like, ‘Okay.’ It stuck with me."

British rockers THE HORRORS were reportedly thrown out of a concert hall in Massachusetts on Monday night (12MAR07), after lead singer FARIS BADWAN smashed an ELVIS PRESLEY ornament during their set.
The five-piece group were ejected from the Great Scott venue in the Boston borough of Allston following the incident, bringing the gig to an abrupt end.
Badwan is reported to have climbed onto a ledge to take the ceramic bust of Presley down from a shelf and smashed it onto the stage, according to the Boston Herald blog.
An eye-witness writes, "No one was seemingly hurt, but this action caused the set to be instantly aborted and the UK neo-goths were told to evacuate the venue immediately.
"Badwan left Great Scott in a huff, claiming he was spat on by one of (the) venue’s staff. I wouldn’t doubt it happened, as there was a brief scuffle once the bust was destroyed, though I didn’t see it occur.
"It was a shame, because while you won’t be humming the band’s songs in your head anytime soon, the creepy five-piece sure know how to put on a show."

Police in India are to wear new fragrant uniforms to improve their image.
Somesh Singh, a designer at the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, believes the new outfits, impregnated with the fragrance of flowers and citrus, will make hot and bothered officers in the western state of Gujarat more approachable.
He said: "Most policemen look hassled, drenched in sweat after coming from any scene of crime. They are surely not the best person one would like to meet, but if they smell good and fresh one might as well approach them." Singh designed the revolutionary uniforms at the request of the state government. They will be introduced to the state’s 300,000 police in the next few months.

A $25,000 diamond was found in a drain at the US prison holding the man accused of stealing it two years ago.
Bret Allen Langford reportedly asked to be shown the two-carat gem at a Jewelry Express shop before fleeing in 2005.
He was arrested and charged although police did not retrieve the diamond.
Langford was sent to Theo Lacy Branch Jail in California to await trial.
This week his representative told jail officials to search the prison’s drains for the diamond, where it was soon found.
Langford claimed that after stealing the diamond, he swallowed and regurgitated it each time he was transferred. But before a search last year, he threw the diamond into a shower stall and it fell down the drain.
