From political intrigue, to business scandal to scurrilous tales of the rich and famous, our trawl through the gutters of Britain's Sunday papers is posted before 12 noon every week.
VIDEOS SHOW BIN LADEN WATCHING HIMSELF ON TVThe Pentagon has released a number of videos it found in Osama Bin Laden's compound, part of what it says is the single biggest hall of intelligence relating to Al Qaeda. In one extraordinary video, reports the Observer, a grey-bearded Bin Laden sits on the floor wrapped in a blanket rocking back and forth watching himself on TV.
Nuremberg lawyer: Bin Laden killing was wrong - with videoPRINCE HARRY IS 'TERROR TARGET'The News of the World reports that the extremist group Muslims Against Crusades, which tried to storm the US embassy in London on Friday, is targeting Prince Harry on its website. A video shows Harry in his ill-judged 2005 Nazi fancy dress uniform. The paper says this is part of the backlash after the death of Osama Bin Laden.
Was Bin Laden death legal - and does it matter?D'ANCONA: NO TIME TO DITCH CLEGGThe Tories would be wrong to interpret the local election and AV referendum results as an instruction from the electorate to turn Right and dump its compassionate, modernising dimension, writes Matthew d'Ancona in the Sunday Telegraph. David Cameron has not suddenly acquired 60 more seats in the Commons: he still needs those Lib Dem votes in the Aye lobby.
CHRIS HUHNE DENIES SPEEDING EVASION CLAIMSLib Dem cabinet minister Chris Huhne has vehemently denied there is any truth to the claim that he pressured a female colleague to take points on her license for speeding in 2003 when he had in fact been the driver responsible, the Mail on Sunday reports. Huhne's office say the claims are part of a smear campaign by "political enemies".

The Sunday Times reports that McCann has written a book about the experience to raise funds for her campaign.
WORLD CUP BOSS DEMANDED KNIGHTHOODSources close to the team who put together England's failed bid to host the 2018 World Cup say Nicolas Leoz, the Fifa representative for Paraguay demanded a knighthood in return for his vote, the Sunday Times claims. A Commons inquiry this week is likely to hear that at least five demands for bribes were made during the bid.
FERGIE: I'LL STAY ON NEXT YEARSir Alex Ferguson has told Manchester United he will still be in charge next year, whether they win the double or not, says the News of the World. Fergie, who is now 69, has a rolling one-year contract with the club, currently poised to overtake rivals Liverpool with a 19th Premier League title, if they can only beat Chelsea today.
Man City fail to focus as Spurs fall to BlackpoolULTIMO BRA MODEL HAD ONE 'B' CUP BREASTModel Katie Green, who as the face and body of Ultimo bras was said to represent 'real women', has revealed she felt she was lying during the campaign. Green suffered from "breast asymmetry" and had one 'D' cup and one 'B' cup, says the Mail on Sunday. She padded her bra, and the supposedly 'real' images were airbrushed.
SEVE BALLESTEROS 'HAD THE HANDS OF AN ARTIST'David Walsh in the Sunday Times mourns Seve Ballesteros, the charismatic golfer who died of brain cancer on Friday: "His looks, passion, flair and desire separated him from all the others, made him the one that so many loved… 'He had the hands of an artist,' the Spanish player Alvaro Quiros said earlier this year and though nobody would disagree, it was his fighting spirit that especially endeared him to us."

Cole changed his Blackberry Messenger status to "I want my wife back," says the News of the World. The couple divorced last year after Ashley was unfaithful five times. ·
