More than 1.5 million people are expected to attend this weekend’s Notting Hill Carnival, in what promises to be the best and biggest spectacle of colour, energy and music yet.

ITV Local have an entire channel has been devoted to the Carnival. There will be live streaming of the parades, masquerade bands, steel bands, calypso music and static and mobile sound systems.

The carnival has become a firm tradition with Londoners and each year it only gets better and better. Dozens of masquerade bands will display their elaborate and colourful costumes on Sunday August 24 and Monday August 25 around the 3.5 mile route.

Lily Allen is no stranger to partying, but the night usually ends with messy paparazzi shots of the singer unconscious and slung over a massive bodyguard.
She started the night at the Groucho Nightclub and headed to Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club where things got messy.  An unnamed passerby started yelling Allen as she left the London night club. Surrounded by photographers, braless Allen chased the woman and tried to hit her three times. The woman is said to have laughed off the incident as Allen was taken to a waiting car by her friend, TV presenter Miquita Oliver.

Tottenham captain Ledley King got so drunk he needed to be carried out of faces nightclub in Essex. He’s been struggling with injury, so it’s nice to see he’s taking his pre-season training so seriously.

 Josh Hartnett was left red-faced after twice being refused entry to a London venue after the door staff didn’t recognise him.

The Pearl Harbour and Lucky Number Sleven actor was trying to get into the Roof Gardens in Kensington. However, door staff turned him away for wearing trainers. The perk of being an A-list star is skipping queues at clubs, next time Josh you should have maybe followed out guestlist rules.
