Which celebrity would play you in a Hollywood movie about your life? That’s the question we are asking in this week’s Mecca Bingo Celebrity Column. Every week we bring you the juiciest gossip about your favourite and not so favourite stars, so you can get the lowdown before you play bingo online for some great bingo jackpots and cash prizes. Without further ado, here’s this week’s column...

First up is the news that comedian Jimmy Carr would want last year’s X-Factor runner-up, Ray Quinn, to play him in a film. When quizzed on his ideal screen double, the ‘8 out of 10 Cats’ host claimed that Quinn’s ‘fat face’ would make him the perfect doppelganger. We think that the cheeky grin, slicked back hair and tendency to wear dodgy suits could also have something to do with Carr’s decision.

Let’s face it, if Quinn’s solo pop career goes belly up (or should that be when) he can always stand in for Carr when presenting those annoying Top 100 programmes that are always on!

Meanwhile, Playboy founder and sugar daddy Hugh Hefner may soon be seeing Leonardo DiCaprio swanning around the Playboy Mansion in a movie about his extraordinary life. According to Hef, 81, DiCaprio is a regular at the Mansion’s infamous parties, often turning up in monkey costumes and other disguises to avoid the paparazzi.

The pair are reportedly good friends and we don’t think Leo will need much convincing to sit by the pool in a smoking jacket while lots of blonde ladies in bikinis hang on his every word! DiCaprio has put one condition on the movie being made however, that Hef is alive to see it! We’d put money on him still being around – he must be made of strong stuff after living with the beautiful Playboy Bunnies for 30-odd years!

Can you ever have too much Victoria Beckham? Apparently not if you are best mates with the Spice Girls star. Actress Katie Holmes (or is it Katie Cruise now) is set to play Posh in a film about hubby David Beckham’s football career.

Whether Posh will have any ‘creative control’ remains to be seen, but we just can’t imagine sweet and innocent Katie in some of Posh’s more (ahem) revealing costumes. Tom Cruise is said to be involved too, though he definitely won’t be playing the part of David Beckham, due to their “marked physical differences" – no amount of special effects could make Tom look like Becks!

Finally this week we leave you with the thought that, should a film ever be made about the life of new Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney would be the ideal man to play him. We just love the modesty of our PM – it’s quite easy to pick George or Brad to play you, but we don’t think they could quite master how he used to deliver his budget speech, or sit behind Tony Blair with that cheeky smile; knowing one day all this would be his!!

That’s all for this week folks, but be sure to check back next week when we’ll have even more celebrity gossip for you. In the meantime there are some great bingo games starting right now at Mecca Bingo, so why not head over and give yourself every chance of winning a big bingo jackpot prize. See you next time, and good luck!
