Pour show: Fearne Cotton doesn't look impressed with Perez Hilton's teapot skills


Fearne Cotton was very much an English woman abroad when she partoook of tea for two with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton in Los Angeles yesterday.

The presenter, 28, joined the scurrilous gossip hound at trendy Toast Bakery in West Hollywood.

Fearne, is currently in the States filming a new series of her ITV2 show Fearne And... and Perez, 32, is her first subject.

She will be following Perez - real name Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr - for three weeks, having taken the time off presenting her Radio1 morning show.

It will be Fearne's second series of the show, in which she aims to get behind the headlines and into the lives of stars.

She's already flown out to the US once before in June to interview self-made star Perez.

She said at the time: 'I flew out to Toronto last week to start Fearne And... series two! The Much Music Awards were taking place there and I can exclusively reveal that one of my next subjects will be Mr Perez Hilton, who was there hosting a party.'

"I don't wanna give too much away as you'll have to wait to watch it all on ITV later this year, but it was eventful."

The full lineup of guests for Fearne And... is expected soon.

Last year, she focused on young starlets and interviewed the likes of Peaches Geldof, Alesha Dixon and Paris Hilton but it's not been confirmed who she's tackling in the new shows.

Writing on her official Twitter page @http://twitter.com/fearnecotton, the Radio 1 DJ and presenter said she was still doing work for her Sky1 show Must Be The Music while on holiday.

She wrote: 'Doing voice overs for must be the music to send back to blighty.

Producers in London talking down my head phones whilst I'm in LA! V odd!'
The show sees Dizzee Rascal, Sharleen Spiteri and Jamie Cullum try and discover original music acts.

Fearne is also currently trying to raise £1million for Breast Cancer Care by trekking to Machu Picchu in Peru with friends Holly Willoughby, Denise Van Outen and Alexandra Burke. She attempts the climb in September.
