Havoc as jailed mercenary Simon Mann provides 'evidence' of peer's role in failed coup

As the author of such potboilers as Honour Among Thieves, Lord Archer is used to keeping his readers on tenterhooks. The disgraced former deputy chairman of the Tories could, however, be unimpressed by the cliff-hanger that Simon Mann has prepared for Cry Havoc, his book about his failed coup d?�tat in Equatorial Guinea.

Signed Beatles record sells for more than �9,000

It was sold by a local Liverpool woman who got the band to sign the record after listening to the group at The Cavern as a youngster.

A cap belonging to John Lennon was sold for �3,200 and other highlights included rarely seen photographs of the band taken at Newcastle City Hall and the Sunderland Empire as Beatlemania was sweeping the world in November 1963.

The door of number 38, Kensington, went for �2,300 and will stay in the Fab Four's home city and go on display at the Museum of Liverpool Life.

The burgundy coloured door was at the entrance to a studio in the Kensington area of the city where the band, then known as The Quarrymen, did their first ever professional recording session.

The annual sale, part of the Beatles Convention in Liverpool, took place in the Paul McCartney Auditorium at Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.

Stephen Bailey, manager of the Liverpool Beatles Shop, which staged the sale, said people often come into the shop with items, asking for advice Antiques Roadshow-style.

Today's top-selling Please Please Me single was brought in by one such local, he said.

"It was just a local lady with a signed record asking 'Is this worth anything?'

"I said 'Yes, that's worth several thousands of pounds'. And here we are, �9,000 later.

"People often wander into the shop asking 'Is this worth anything?'

"There is still massive attraction for Beatles memorabilia. There are still people willing to pay fantastic prices."

Petra Ecclestone -- The Wedding You Could NEVER Afford

It's amazing ... Petra Ecclestone blew $85 million on Candy Spelling's 57,000 mansion, and she could still afford a wedding that rivaled the one recently thrown for those 2 kids in England.

Petra tied the knot with businessman James Stunt in Italy yesterday, in the same village where Tom and Katie got hitched.  But this wedding was a lot more expensive -- reportedly more than $5 mil -- and a lot grander.

For starters, Andrea Bocelli was there performing "Time to Say Goodbye," the first dance was courtesy of Eric Clapton, and the crowd then danced to The Black Eyed Peas.  BTW, Peas don't come cheap -- $2.4 million for the live appearance.

Petra -- the daughter of Formula One billionaire Bernie Ecclestone -- was decked out in a $130,000 Vera Wang special.

Guests guzzled wine at $6,500 a bottle -- Chateau Petrus, of course.

And, of course, Paris, Nicky and Kathy Hilton were there.

Wait till Petra Petra's dad gets the credit card statement.

MTV couldn't have its biggest stars miss tomorrow night's Video Music Awards due to the hurricane sweeping the East Coast -- so they chartered a private jet to take "Jersey Shore" stars Snooki, Vinny, Deena and Sammi to Los Angeles ... TMZ has learned.

According to our sources, the foursome flew out last night, avoiding the hurricane before it crippled local airports.

The rest of the cast was off doing events in other parts of the country -- for example ... Pauly D was in Oklahoma DJing, while Jwoww was hosting a party at PURE in Las Vegas. 

Vinny tweeted a pic from the plane, saying, "Had to take the PJ to the #VMAs to beat the storm.East coast you will be fine just chill in and laugh while it passes."
