Burberry model Cara Delevigne is headed for Hollywood Clifford's Chinese whispers Max Clifford's expensive services have scarcely worked wonders for the image of his client Simon Cowell in recent weeks, but does the public relations man have bigger fish to fry? Mandrake hears that Clifford, who helped to bring down John Major's government with his tabloid exposés of "Tory sleaze," is on a business trip to China this week, where the Communist Party could do with some assistance on its PR. "Max has been invited over to Beijing by the mayor of Beijing," his assistant tells me. Could Clifford be advising one of those involved in the scandal over the death of Neil Heywood, the British businessman, who became too close to the Communist chief in Chongqing, Bo Xilai? "I don't know if he will be visiting Chongqing or not," she says. It's not down on the itinerary, but that is not to say that things could change. Arlene Phillips waltzes back Much missed on Strictly Come Dancing, Arlene Phillips has, gamely, agreed to act as a judge in a contest based on the BBC series that will take place in Hereford on Saturday night. She will be joined on the panel by Sir Roy Strong, the noted aesthete, and Larry Lamb, the actor. "Theo Fennell is Brucey," says Christopher James, one of the organisers of the event, for the Hereford Cathedral Perpetual Trust. Surely, Sir Roy doing the tango with Arlene would be an even bigger draw? Sir Ranulph Fiennes scales new heights Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the celebrated explorer, was unable to find his way into a school in Shropshire, where he was due to give a talk. "Being the type of man that he is, he simply climbed the main gates, much to his and our amusement." says Nick Pettingale, Ellesmere College's director of development.
