Marc Jacobs launches Fragrance 'Bang'

2010-07-28T02:47:00.000-07:00

Stars had a great night out partying at Harvey Nichols in London last night, supporting Marc Jacob's as he launched his newest men's Fragrance, 'Bang'.

Inspiration for the name? Marc says it came to him whilst he was working out at the gym, mainly because he feel's it sounds so Masculine.

At the Bash, Madonna's bf Jesus took charge of the decks whilst guests such as Daisy Lowe, model Erin O'Connor, Henry Holland, Mischa Barton, Pixie Lott, Jake Shears, Diana Vickers, Jaime Winstone, Beth Ditto, and George Lamb partied the night away.

Designer Marc Jacobs himself decided to front the 'bang' campaign by posing daringly for photographer Juergen Teller, draped over crinkled Silver Metallic Mylar, with only a Huge bottle of Bang protecting his modesty! About the risqué shoot, Marc told Vogue UK: “I wasn’t nervous at all – I keep in shape and go to the gym a lot anyway so no I didn’t have to do much preparing. I’ve been working out forever. I take pride in grooming.”

“Once I agreed to be the model, I couldn’t see what I would wear to express this. We tried it with clothes, but it didn’t work. Then Juergen had the idea for the silver Mylar, and it all came together. The silver Mylar also gives it that flash, that bang."

Girls look out for Marc's fragrance Bang in September 2010, a great little prezzie for your man, apparently it smells pretty amazing!

At home with Tom Brady - Details Sept 2009 Issue

2009-08-12T00:44:00.000-07:00

In the September 2009 issue of Details Magazine, the ordinarily super-private football star Tom Brady talks about all aspects of his life, including being married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen, the paparazzi, and having a child out of wedlock with his former girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan. The article is accompanied with modelling photo's of the quarterback.

On Tabloid rumours: “You know, it's very—I don't take myself very seriously. I'm not a person who defends myself very often. I kind of let my actions speak for me. So when people criticize me, and they should—that's what you do as an athlete. You go out there, and that's what happens. You deal with it and laugh with it and hope they sell a lot of newspapers. Because there's going to be the next article the next day, and the next article the next day.”

On having a child out of wedlock: “That's not how you envisioned your life, that's not how you envisioned having children," he says now, "but it happens. But you're not talking about a tragic event, you're talking about a life, it's what happens. And that's forced me to grow up in a lot of ways, and in a lot of ways I've learned about the people around me, learned about my wife and about how important she is in my life, through this. You see what she's really about. Because that's not what she wanted either. But once again, it's...I just don't think...life is not what everyone... Life is not living in the suburbs with a white picket fence. That's not life. Somehow our American culture has made it out that that's what life needs to be—and that if it's not that, it's all screwed up. It's not. You go through life and you try the best you can.”

On having more kids: “I want a lot of kids, I'd love four or five. We'll see. It's not always my decision.”

On stepping out in public: “Every time I step out,” he says, “I know there's probably somebody watching, with a camera phone or something. And it doesn't feel good. I'm glad they didn't have those camera phones seven or eight years ago,” he says, referring to his wilder single days. “When I go out now, I just watch what I'm doing.”

On being set-up on a blind date with Gisele: “This friend told me he knew a girl version of me.” (Gisele adds, “And he said to me he’d found a boy version of me.”)

On getting married: “We'd dated and had been through a lot together,” he says. “That's been a nice settling part of my life as well.”

On their life together: “I think my wife and I, we probably enjoy staying home more than most.”

On happiness: “We're all here, man, we're all sharing the same air. Everyone wants to look at the guy"—meaning him—"and say, 'Well, if I had that, I'd really be happy.' But happiness is really about how you feel yourself and if you're satisfied with yourself. I wish everybody happiness, man. And fulfillment in life. You don't need to play football to have that. At least I don't think that's what was going through the creator's mind when we were created.”

Brady also disputed the alleged shooting at his wedding my security at the paparazzi, saying that security wasn't armed.

Are Spencer and Heidi Pratt Pregnant?

2009-07-30T07:39:00.000-07:00

Spencer and Heidi Pratt are either playing a game with the media, or they just might be expecting a mini-baby-pratt.

The reality TV star duo, self-nick-named 'Speidi', famed by MTV's The Hills fuelled speculation that they might be pregnant yesterday by shopping in the Kids clothing section of LA Kitson's store whilst Spencer kissed Heidi placing his hand affectionately on her stomach.

The duo's rep has declined to comment on the pregnancy rumours, however popcrunch.com is reporting that this is all a ploy which will be revealed during the storyline in next series of The Hills. If popcrunch's source is to believed, the storyline is sure fire way to irritate viewers. Taken from the popcrunch website:

“The fourth season of The Hills won’t premiere on MTV until this August, but the show’s most passionate fame mongers have already devised an unbelievable scam in an effort to steal the spotlight from L.C and the rest of the gang. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag will spend the summer staging a fake pregnancy, a new tabloid report claims. After all, babies are the new black.

“This summer, Heidi plans to wear loose clothes and even strap on some padding around her waist to make it appear as if she’s about three months along.”

“The plan is to get the baby rumor mill going so she can get photographed more. She and Spencer won’t confirm or deny the pregnancy so they can keep everyone guessing.”

According to Star Magazine scoop, from rising suspicion to refuting the rumors the first order of action, Heidi, twenty-one, and her twenty-four year old on-again/off-again fiance Spencer have plotted each step of their plan carefully.

First the aspiring singer will stop drinking. Then she’ll visit chic children’s boutiques like NoMi to pick out baby stuff. By the end of the summer, Heidi will be photographed bumpless and sporting a skimpy bikini while strolling along the beach.

“There’s so much Heidi wants to do. Getting fat is not in the cards right now.” ”

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush split up

2009-07-28T03:18:00.000-07:00

Fashion stylist, Kim Kardashian and boyfriend, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush have mutually decided to end their relationship of two years. The reason for the split is that their heavy and demanding work schedules mean that the couple rarely get to see each other anymore.

Reggie and Kim have only just returned from a trip to Africa where Kim did charity work for Russel Simmons organisation DEF, a non-profit organization that aims to empower disadvantaged people in African nations where diamonds are a natural resource, through education.

Only this May, Kim Kardashian spoke about the two year relationship progressing toward marriage with TVGuide.com telling them:

"People ask us [about marriage] all the time. Of course we talk about marriage, but who knows when that's coming."

However with Bush spending 6 months of the year training and playing in New Orleans whilst Kim films her reality show E!'s 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' on the West Coast with her family, the couple's communication has been restricted predominantly to mobile phones and web-cam's which has put too much strain on the relationship.

Although Kim and Reggie have ended their relationship, they still love each other and plan to remain a part of each others lives. People.com reports:

"It's been a long time coming. They still love each other and are part of their lives, but Reggie spends six months out of the year in New Orleans, so it's tough."

Nick Lachey: No plans to get back together with Jessica

2009-07-20T04:24:00.000-07:00

Firstly, huge apologies to all my readers for not posting any blogs over the past few weeks. We were away on Vacation. Thank you for all of the emails, I'm back!

Secondly, a post for all the 'MTV Newlywed's' fan's. The question on many people's lips right now is 'Will Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey get back together?' The Reality TV couple left many fans bitterly disappointed when they abruptly ended their relationship after a 3 year marriage. Now that the Couple have strangely both become single within a matter of weeks, rumours are circulating that the pair may patch things up.

In order to dispel the recent tabloid rumours that the pair have been talking for hours on the phone and are still in love, Nick has spoken out to People.com for the first time, coming out with the facts about the reconciliation speculation, his upcoming album and their hit MTV Reality Show 'Newlywed's':

A recent photo of Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson, Tony Romo reportedly broke up with Jessica just over a week ago.

Nick Lachey tells People.com at a party at Dusk at the Caesars Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City Saturday night:

"I think it’s fun storytelling, but there's very little truth to any of it, I certainly have heard about her breakup and I wish her the best, as I’ve always done. Aside from that, there really is nothing to say."

And the question on everybody's minds, Nick was asked if he has been in touch with Jessica, Lachey answered:

"I haven't talked to her in probably two years, I wish her happiness. That’s where it pretty much ends."

About his own recent break up with ex girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo, Nick commented saying: "I'm in a good place, I've learned, through years of not only being in this business, but being in relationships, that you have to take it as it goes. With every experience, you learn something about your life, and you try to take that and move on and be a better berson because of it. We'll see what happens."

On his latest upcoming album release, Nick tells us:

"It's reflective of a lot of different sides of me. It's still pop but it’s a little more produced. It's weird because music has changed so much, and as you get older, you have to see where the music scene is going but at the same time be true to who you are. I can't really go out and do what I used to do, it's just a different game."

On the subject of Reality TV, Nick says:

"I would never do it the way it was done with us – with people living in your house, essentially, and having 24-hour access to your life, in your home. That, to me, was not a healthy way to go about it. But I think that anyone that kinda denies the success of reality TV is kidding themselves."

My personal opinion is that if reconciliation between Jessica and Nick does come about, it certainly won't happen right now. Too much has happened and both Nick and Jessica's recent relationship splits are far too recent. From what I hear, Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo had a good relationship, his team-mates are all shocked and say Jessica and Tony were a great match, so Jessica's main thoughts are likely to be with Tony, not Nick. Saying that, in time, once the dust settles, you really never know! All it takes is for them to meet up at a party or start texting and the old feelings could possibly re-surface. Remember that this couple have split up for years before and gotten back together. Only time will tell, watch this space!

Christian Lacroix files for bankruptcy

2009-06-04T02:16:00.000-07:00

French Couture designer Christian Lacroix, the creative genius behind the puffball skirt and the “le pouf” silhouette that helped define the iconic '80s fashion has filed for bankruptcy protection, citing: "the consequences of the global financial crisis which has sharply hurt the luxury goods industry".

Although Christian has declared himself bancrupt, the Lacroix design brand has not completely expired. Lacroix still plans a small couture presentation in July and still hopes to continue production of it's ready-to-wear and Couture lines.

Lacroix has worked for years, proving his creative talent and design skills to make a success of the Christian Lacroix brand. From 1981 to 1987 Lacroix worked at the fashion house of Jean Patou, and in 1987 he opened his own couture and ready-to-wear business. With his background in historical costume and clothing, Lacroix soon made headlines with his opulent, fantasy creations, including the short puffball skirt (“le pouf”), rose prints, and low décolleté necklines. He quoted widely from other styles—from fashion history (the corset and the crinoline), from folklore, and from many parts of the world—and he mixed his quotations in a topsy-turvy manner. He favored the hot colors of the Mediterranean region, a hodgepodge of patterns, and experimental fabrics, sometimes handwoven in local workshops.

Backstage at his recent fashion show for his Spring/Summer 09' line, Christian Lacroix said: "When times are hard, the best medicine is to face the situation with guts, and your true personality"

According to The New York Times, this fall's ready-to-wear sales were down 35 per cent and losses for 2008 were about $14 million (U.S.). Proving that the high profile fashion industry is not immune to the credit crunch, the current economic predicament has been part blamed for Lacroix going bankrupt along with the recent business and brand expansion. Amidst the global financial crisis, plans for another Louis Vuitton store in Tokyo have been cancelled and this year, Chanel laid off 200 temporary employees. Versace also recently announced that revenue is down 13 per cent in the first quarter of 2009.

Sienna talks about filming G.I Joe

2009-05-30T01:32:00.000-07:00

Sienna Miller has been talking to the press about her forthcoming flick 'G.I. Joe' in which she plays raven-haired baroness and sexy femme fatale skilled in espionage. Sienna underwent a complete image overhaul to get into character, donning a black-haired wig and clothed predominantly in leather and pvc gear, armed with a gun.

About the handling of a gun, Sienna told the press:

“It was scary. I got taken away from the group! They said, ‘Sienna, you’re a villain in this film and you look like you’re terrified of the gun.’ And I said ‘I am!’ But we were shooting live ammunition that could kill someone.”
Sienna also spilled the beans on one particular fighting sequence, the 27-year-old shared:
"There's a really, really good girl fight between Rachel Nichols and myself. It's like a proper, violent girl-fight scene. And we both worked so hard for the choreography and the training of it. ... We both got hurt. I'm clumsy, so I slipped on a rubber bullet at one point and sprained my wrist quite badly. She ran into a flame and got burned."

The film, which tells the tale of a group of soldiers fighting for the acronym Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity (G.I. Joe) against evil organisation Cobra is set to be a box office hit, directed by none other than The Mummy's Stephen Sommers.

Recent Sienna sighting: Back to blonde Sienna Miller was spotted getting her eyebrows done at Anastasia salon in Beverly Hills, California on Friday (May 29). She wears a striped Chanel T-Shirt with the trademark CC's embezzled on the front, normal fit jeans rolled up like boyfriend jeans and black suede ankle boots accessorised with a brown Ostrich skin handbag.

2009-05-23T03:41:00.000-07:00

Hugh Hefners sport obsessed ex-girlfriend, Kendra Wilkinson is getting her own reality show, E! announced recently. Hef's three girlfriends, Holly, Kendra and Bridget were famed by E!'s reality show "Girls of the Playboy Mansion" and all announced a while back that they were in talks with producers about Spin-off reality shows, however this is the first official announcement of a go-ahead for any of them.

The show, titled "Kendra" will will follow the 23 year old star as she moves out of a life of pure luxury at the Playboy mansion, which has been her home for 4 years. For the first time since becoming one of Hef's three girlfriends, she will not have 24/7 room service, cleaners, cooks and a social secretary. She will be moving in with her fiancé, Philadelphia Eagles' Hank Baskett (whom she's marrying on June 27), and cameras will capture the Playboy model's attempts to look after herself without the aid of any house helpers.

The show has been picked up for eight episodes and the network says she'll have to learn how to do laundry, cook, grocery shop and pay her own bills. It should be quite an interesting watch as Kendra finds it difficult to get to appointments on time, find anything or keep her room tidy even with the current aids she has grown accustomed to.

The reality show will also follow Wilkinson and her fiance, on a road trip as she helps him move from New Mexico to California. Their on-camera growing pains include balancing her party-girl lifestyle with his conservative, religious mindset, the pair even pray every night before dinner.

"Throughout the five highly successful seasons of the Girls Next Door, Kendra has developed a loyal fan-base with her outrageous personality and trademark laugh," E!'s Lisa Berger said in a statement. "Now she's faced with the reality of making it outside the gates of the Mansion and as Kendra's fans are aware, you never know what she's going to do next."

The Network Tells us: Between wedding planning, Wilkinson will still find time to hang out with Hef, and Girls Next Door roommates Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt. Playboy playmate pals Amber Campisi and Britney Binger will also make cameos. Her mom, grandmother and brother are nervous about Wilkinson's ability to live on her own, so they'll be featured as well.

The show premieres this summer, don't miss it!

50 Cent and Bette Midler talk about recording a duet together

2009-05-22T01:51:00.000-07:00

"Look how beautiful things are and how nice it feels when I'm around her,"
50 Cent said of Bette Midler at the spring picnic for the latter's New York Restoration Project in Fort Tryon Park this week.

50 Cent (born Curtis Jackson III) and Bette Midler are seriously discussing doing a duet, albeit the most unlikely scenario fans would ever have imagined!

The rapper has been helping Midler's Charity group, the New York Restoration Project build a public garden in his childhood neighbourhood. Bette told us that 50 Cent has had a huge impact on her charity work, telling us:

"He never asked how much [money]. He just said, 'Where do I sign?' ...Little Jewish lady and the great big rapper. He's such a doll. I love him. He's gorgeous. I was hoping we'd sing songs from the Depression, but he's so young that I don't think he knows any of them. I'm going to have to check things out and see what he feels like singing."

At the spring picnic, Bette said of 50 Cent:

"He is one of the newest members of our tribe. He has really made my life worth living. 50 has been with me through thick and thin. I really can't rap, but I'd like to sing in the background on 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'. He is such a gorgeous star - holy cow! He's like the Godfather of Jamaica, Queens..."
Fiddy responded to the collaboration mention by saying:

"Me and Bette collaborating would be really hot. But I'd need to make something new for her. For the right song, we'd definitely get together."

Nicole tells Hello Magazine she'll marry Lewis Hamilton

2009-05-19T04:27:00.000-07:00

Lead singer of the Pussycat Doll's, Nicole Scherzinger has told Hello! Magazine in an exclusive interview that her relationship with Formula 1 winner Lewis Hamilton is the real deal and she's ready for marriage. The pair met at the MTV Europe Awards in Munich in November 2007 and have been inseparable ever since with regular public displays of affection. At 31, Scherzinger is seven years older than Lewis.

Last year Nicole declared her love for the racer to the world by posting a video on youtube congratulating Lewis on his Formula 1 win, Nicole told the camera: "I am so excited, I feel like I'm on top of the world right now. Why? Because I want to congratulate my boyfriend Lewis Hamilton for being the official Formula One world champion. Congratulations, baby! I love you, I love you, I love you."

This month, Nicole tells Hello! Mag:

“Would I get married? For sure and, yeah, the Dolls can be the bridesmaids. But I have to get engaged first. Late July is looking good.”

“Marriage is a seal of love. On my solo album I have sung about how much I love that and what the whole process would mean to me. Who needs a reason to seal their love?”

Nicole also revealed a few little embarrassing facts about F1 boyfriend Lewis..

“He can sing quite well. He knows a lot of my songs from the group and, in a worrying way, quite a few of the routines. I would love him to appear in one of our videos, but I am not sure how I would feel about the other Dolls all over him. I think he would quite like it.”

I'm not sure that he'll be too pleased about the mention, Lewis Hamilton is notoriously private and shunned the media attention when the limelight first fell on him following his first victory of his F1 career in the Canadian Grand Prix at Montreal. Maybe Nicole has brought him out of his shell or perhaps love has made him a little less media-shy?

Katie leaves the country after Peter Andre split confirmed

2009-05-12T02:58:00.000-07:00

Glamour Model Katie Price and Singer Peter Andre are to separate after four and a half years of marriage, the couple's management company Can Associates Limited has confirmed today. The couple released an official statement confirming the split after which Katie left the country with her two youngest children in tow, possibly to escape the inevitable media attention.

The couples statement included a request for privacy saying:

"We request that the media respect their families' privacy at this difficult time"

Katie and Pete's Wedding
The showbiz pair exchanged vows in a fairytale wedding in the beautiful Highclere Castle in Berkshire, family seat of the Earl of Carnarvon, with Katie arriving in a in a pink Cinderella-style carriage pulled by six white horses.

Katie and Peter have together endeavoured to appear unified despite constant negative speculation and always vehemently denied potential split rumours. Just last month after completing the London Marathon together, they announced that they would be trying for another baby with Jordan promising she would be pregnant by the end of the year. Katie and Peter already have two young children, Junior, 3, and Princess Tiaamii, 1. Peter loves and has also taken on Katie's son Harvey, 6 from a previous relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke.

Split rumours
The celebrity couple met whilst filming ITV's hit reality show 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here', and have been the media's subject of split speculation since day-one of their relationship. It seems they have constantly needed to confirm that they were not splitting as the tabloids often report.

Recent popularity
Many people have grown fond of the pair since watching their unique lives and turbulent relationship in full swing on their popular ITV2 reality shows:
When Jordan Met Peter, Jordan & Peter: Laid Bare, Jordan & Peter: Marriage Mayhem?, Katie & Peter: The Baby Diaries and Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter.
The family have only just returned from America after completing their latest documentary: Katie & Peter: Stateside which is currently pulling in a massive 1 million viewers a week.

Fan Reactions
The news of the split is very sudden, prompting fans to believe that it is a highly irrational decision and that the couple will in fact reconcile and get back together once the current argument is over. Their reality shows reveal the couples marriage to be erratic, emotional and volatile in nature therefore it would come as no surprise if they did make up. Just 3 days ago the couple were pictured hand in hand leaving London's Nobu Restaurant after sharing dinner together. Though the couple bicker like cat and dog, they always seem to make things work and deal with their problems because they love each other very much and believe they are meant to be together.

Some opinions are that Peter is trying to show Katie just how serious and hurt he is about the effects of her behaviour toward him. According to his pals however, he has recently said about his life: "I am so unhappy" which suggests that perhaps it is all over?

Reason for the split
The actual reason for the split has not been officially revealed, however they have both stated previously that the only reason either of them would split from one another would be if somebody cheated.

Media Speculation
According to The British Sun Newspaper , the split is due to Katie's out-of-control drinking and partying as well as the fact that Peter who is desperate to revive his singing career would like to live in America whilst Katie wants to live in England. The Daily Mail Newspaper writes here about a significant row which was aired on the duo's latest tv show which marked the end of their marriage.

Katie's statement
Katie Price has confirmed only one thing, that it was definitely not her decision to split and that if the onus was on her, they would still be together as she will always love Pete.

Her official press statement read:

"Pete is the love of my life and my life. We have children together and I am devastated and disappointed by his decision to separate and divorce me, as I married him for life. 'I will always love Pete'. This is not what I want and the decision has been taken out of my hands. I will not comment further or do any interviews regarding the separation but I will always love my Pete."

As the couple have become increasingly famous over the past few years, this is a huge celebrity break up. If they remain separated it is sad primarily for one main fact: The Children. The couple have however shown themselves to be great parents and I am sure that they will always ensure the children are well looked after and protected as much as possible.

It's Nick Cannon vs Eminem over Mariah comments

2009-05-11T02:07:00.000-07:00

Last week it hit the news that more files from Eminem's forthcoming album 'Relapse' were leaked onto the internet. After Em's song 'Crack a Bottle' was leaked prior completion in Dec 08, Eminem took measures to avoid more leaks ensuring that only Dr Dre and himself had copies of the Relapse album.

No doubt Eminem is not impressed. At the time of the Crack a Bottle leak, Em told Billboard he felt "really heated" after hearing that the track was online, adding: "It wasn't close to finished, and it even has me doing guide vocals for Dre as a suggestion of how he could lay his verses down. It's like someone catches you peeping in your window before you got the Spider Man costume all zipped up! Nobody is supposed to see that."

Now Nick Cannon, husband of Mariah Carey has taken major offence at Eminem's comments about his wife on one of the tracks off the Relapse album titled "Bagpipes from Baghdad". Mariah and Eminem reportedly dated for 6 months and apparently ended on a sour note as this is the third time Eminem has mentioned Mariah in one of his songs.

Last week after hearing the track himself Nick Cannon decided to publically hit back at Eminem, challenging him on his offical website blog. Due to over-popularity and too many comments the post has since been taken down but this is what Nick originally wrote in the Blog Post:
"A mediocre (at best) Eminem record that sounds like it was written in 2001. At first, I thought it was old material that had been dug up from when dude 'fantasized' about having a pretend fling with Mariah. ... But all of a sudden I hear my name in the verse! My first reaction was like, 'This is his new sh--? Wow, that's too bad.' "
"Believe it or not, Mariah is the same racial mixture as our beloved president, Barack Obama."

"Maybe I'm going too far, but I thought we got past the days where white men could spew vulgar obscenities at our beautiful queens and get away with it. What's next? Are we going to let this trash say something horrible about our lovely first lady, Mrs. Michelle Obama? Or would Marshall have talked sideways out of his neck like this about Oprah Winfrey? This act of racist bigotry cannot go unnoticed. Calling my wife a 'c---' and a 'whore' is way worse than anything Don Imus could have ever said. So trust, repercussions will be served. Anybody got Al Sharpton's number?! LOL Let's not forget about Eminem's amateur mixtape rants of calling African Americans 'ni----' and how he hates 'black bi---es.' "

"So, Miss Marshall, I'm going to make you wish you never spoke my name and regret the ungodly things you said about my wife. This is going to be fun! It's however you want it! Just remember, you did this to yourself! Your legacy has now been tainted from this day forth! You will now be known as the rapper who lost to corny-ass Nick Cannon!"
I guess Nick is as protective of his wife as any loving husband would be, he obviously adores her. Just last week the entertainer surprised Mariah with video montage of their first year together for their wedding anniversary at their party celebration in Las Vegas at the Palms Casino & Resort. Check out the video:

David Beckham declares his love for Victoria

2009-05-09T02:06:00.000-07:00

It seems that Footballer David Beckham has had enough of those cheating allegations and tabloid rumours as he finally decided to speak out publicly this week.

Despite the fact that David and Victoria Beckham share 3 children and have been married for 10 years, their relationship has frequently come under fire by the press's claims of affairs, disloyalty and disunity. In this interview, David took the opportunity to set the record straight and declare his undying love for his Popstar turned Fashion Designer wife Victoria. He denied any attraction to other women saying:

“I have no desire for other women. I only love Victoria.”
In case you're left wondering why David hasn't denied previous rumours, the star also explained his usual 'no comment' ethos by saying:

“If I took the time to deny every story, I wouldn’t have time to be a footballer.”

A French gossip magazine recently claimed that married Beckham shared a romantic dinner with Hungarian Glamour Model Mariann Fogarasy after they were photographed together outside a football game in Budapest. To me the photo (above) looks like a fan alongside a celebrity photograph. The star commented on this story with categorical denial telling us not to believe the hype, he told us: "Ninety per cent of what is written about us is invented. The last one was this story about the Hungarian model. I have never been out to dinner with this young lady."
David was also recently reported to have cancelled a party in July which was planned in order to celebrate his 10th wedding anniversary, so whilst setting the record straight, his spokesperson added: “There have been no plans for any party, they are on holiday at the time of their anniversary.”

After recent press speculation of a marital rift citing the fact that the couple have not even seen each other over the past month, the England star revealed that Victoria would be in the stand supporting him as he plays football against Juventus tomorrow.

New face of Chanel Lily Allen lets loose

2009-05-07T01:43:00.000-07:00

Mouthy British pop singer, 24 year old Lily Allen has been a little subdued over the past year, however the chart topping Londoner has started grabbing some of those headlines again.

Firstly, it was revealed last week that Lily has landed a modelling deal with design house Chanel. Lily is to front the Fall/Winter advertising campaign for the next collection of Chanel handbags. Fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld reportedly handpicked the star himself, reason as Lagerfeld told WWD: “She’s fun”.

Now Lily now seems to have taken a few tips out of Eminem's book by breaking her silence with some good old' Celebrity Bashing, targets being: Old enemy Cheryl Cole, Cheryl's husband Ashley Cole and the Beckhams.

When the media provokingly asked Lily about 'chav to chic' Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole, Lily replied with all guns blazing saying:

“She is just a bitch. She represents everything I hate. She is stupid, superficial and as ugly outside as inside.”

Lily also accused Cheryl's husband Ashley Cole of “soiling” football, adding:

“He is the worst, he disgusts me. He jumps on everything that moves. I am not criticising just to criticise, but I have met him several times. He is revolting.”
Lily Allen continued to slam footballers and their antics in general with the following analyzation:

“It’s ridiculous, I hate it. Footballers aren’t there to show off in London, but to play football. Mind you, they are probably too stupid to understand that. Especially the English ones, they go out everywhere they can find alcohol for too much money and sex for nothing.”

About the Armani modelling duo, the Beckhams, David and Victoria, Lily commented:

"The Beckhams are sickening. Everyone knows Victoria is a monster. I’d rather shoot myself between the eyes than be a WAG."
It's no secret that Cheryl Cole and Lily Allen don't get on. The feud started in 2006 when Lily mentioned Cheryl in one of the songs on her first album saying: "I wish I looked like Cheryl Tweedy". Cheryl quickly responded to the name mention saying:

“I’m really flattered Lily’s written a track about me. But I don’t know why she sings about wanting to be as pretty as me as she looks stunning. I’d like to look like her. It’s about time we had a really cool British girl out there on the music scene.”
Lily corrected any misconceptions saying that the lyric was tongue and cheek, that it was meant to be ironic. She told the media:

“It was a joke that not many people got. Of course nobody really wants to look like Cheryl, they just think they do.”

The feud started there... and both of them have been like dogs with a bone ever since. In 2007 Cheryl branded Lily "a chick with a dick" to which Lily responded on her blog:

"I think I was just having a hard time last week. After reading Cheryl Tweedys comments branding me a "chick with a dick" I was feeling pretty low. I know I've said bad things about people in the past but this I mean I may not be as pretty as you but at least I write and SING my own songs without the aid of autotune."

3 Years is a rather lengthy time to bear a grudge for, think it's time to make friends girls!

Rihanna dumps Chris Brown for old flame Negus

2009-05-03T01:15:00.000-07:00

News has just emerged that singer Rihanna has re-kindled an old flame with her teenage romance, 24 year old Negus Sealy. Rihanna, 21 is currently holidaying in hometown Barbados where she was snapped here by paparazzi on the beach with Negus. So it's definitely over for Rihanna and Chris Brown who was recently accused of beating her up in a furious bust-up. Rihanna was rumoured to have dumped Chris a while back and was recently have reported to have toasted her split from Chris during a party, however no official statement has yet been released confirming the split.

According to The News of The World, Rihanna's friends have of course been talking to the press, one said:

"Negus was a shoulder to cry on. He's a really smart guy-clever, good-looking, very cool. All the girls adore him and call him the Love God! He and Rihanna were seeing each other before she hit the big time."

"Rihanna and Negus both realised there was still a strong sexual attraction between them and became inseparable. Whenever Rihanna
went to the beach or out partying, Negus was always there. They were very careful not to be seen too closely together though as they're trying to keep their relationship secret."

One of Rihanna's relatives, who asked not to be named, confirmed:

"The family are delighted about her seeing Negus again."

Chris Brown appeared in a Los Angeles court last month and denied assaulting Rihanna. If he is convicted he may face up to five years in jail. Rihanna does not appear to harbour grudges against Chris and has previously been quoted as saying she would like the process to run as smoothly as possible.

6 Supermodels cover VMagazine's first Swimsuit issue

2009-05-01T02:26:00.000-07:00

Vmagazine tell us they're 'about to put the heat on summer' with their up-coming Summer Swimsuit edition of the mag, due out 6 May. They've only gone and managed to bag 6 of the worlds most notorious, iconic supermodels to front the 80's inspired colourful magazine covers. The Six supermodels, namely Kate Moss, Gisele Bundchen, Daria Werbowy, Naomi Campbel, Claudia Schiffer and Eva Herzigova will individualy grace one of each of the six colorful covers in a brilliant, vibrant shoot by famed photographer Mario Testino. In choosing the covergirls, we're told the only requirement was that they all be recognisable immediately by just their first names.

V Magazine was launched in September, 1999 as the younger ‘ready-to-wear’ publication to the limited-edition, ‘couture’ quarterly, Visionaire. About the shoot, the editor-in-chief of V Magazine, Stephen Gan, said:

“Mario Testino and I started talking about doing a swimsuit issue about this time last year. We aimed for something like a cool fashion insider’s answer to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues. We chose the sexiest bodies in the world and those that had a special connection to the testino world; a lot of the guys and girls photographed grew up with V readers over the years.”

Check out some pics from the Mario Testino photo shoot below, including the models individual covers...

Eminem as The Punisher on cover of XXL Mag

2009-04-16T03:49:00.000-07:00

Eminem is covering all bases to ensure his forthcoming album release is massive! The rapper will be on the cover of the special collector's edition of XXL magazine for the June 2009 issue, posing as the notorious vigilante The Punisher. The issue will be out on the stands just 2 weeks before the rappers much anticipated 6th studio album Relapse is out. The June XXL magazine will have two covers, both featuring Eminem looking fierce as The Punisher, one above and the other to follow below. Inside, Eminem talks openly about T.I, the music industry and his drug addiction, read on for interview quote's. Eminem will also feature in the comic inside the mag.

Eminem alternate XXL cover

Eminem interview:

On His Drug Addiction

“I wasn’t ready mentally. I wasn’t ready to give up the drugs. I didn’t really think I had a problem. Basically, I went in, and I came out. I relapsed, and I spent the next three years struggling with it. Also, at that time, I felt like I wanted to pull back, because my drug problem had got so bad. I felt like, Maybe if I take a break, maybe this will help. I started to get into the producer role more… I can still be out there with my music, like with the Re-Up album, but I don’t have to be in the spotlight the whole time.”

On Proof’s Death

“Everyone felt his loss, from his kids, to his wife, to everyone. But, for some reason, in hindsight, the way I felt was almost like it happened to just me… Maybe at the time I was a little bit selfish with it. I think it kind of hit me so hard. It just blindsided me. I just went into such a dark place that, with everything, the drugs, my thoughts, everything. And the more drugs I consumed, and it was all depressants I was taking, the more depressed I became, the more self-loathing I became… By the way, I’m just now at the point where I’m better talking about it. It took me so long to get out of that place where I couldn’t even speak about it without crying or wanting to cry… Proof was the anchor. He was everything to D12. And not just the group-for me, personally, he was everything.”

On T.I., Lil Wayne & Hip-Hop

“I stayed up on the music, and obviously I watch TV and saw what was going on. And without naming any names, it just felt like hip-hop was going downhill. And it seemed like kinda fast. You know, in them three years, it was like everybody just cares about the hook and the beat; nobody really cares about substance. But with this new T.I. album, with this new Lil Wayne album of recent, it seems like things are looking a lot better now. You can appreciate Lil Wayne using different words to rhyme and actually rhyming words that you know. Or T.I., where you hear shit and you’re like Whoa, ah, I wish I would have thought of that! You know what I mean? Or you hear all the compound-syllable rhyming and all that. It just seems like now the craft is getting cared about more.”

Jamie Foxx apologises for slating Miley Cyrus

2009-04-16T03:19:00.000-07:00

After a few days of bad press, Jamie Foxx has optimised his appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman by publically apologising to Singer Miley Cyrus for the inappropriate and scathing comments he made about the Hannah Montana star oh his popular radio show 'Foxxhole' this Sunday.

Amongst other damning comments during the show, Jamie thought it would be funny to suggest that 16 year old Miley Cyrus "catch a sexually transmitted disease, get a gum transplant, make a sex tape, smoke some crack or do some herion".

Watch Jamie's apology on The late show with David Letterman:

Miley handled the situation with some dignity, she did not react with an official response but posted a simple statement on her Twitter page saying: “If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all.” I'm wonder what dad Billy Ray Cyrus thought of the comments made toward his teenage daughter?

In his apology, Jamie said:
“I so apologize … and this is sincere, I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it. And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far. I have a radio show… We’re really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. You know I’m a comedian. You know my heart. Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”

The situation which Jamie was referring to is Cyrus being annoyed after an alleged incident where she was not allowed to meet the band Radiohead after the Grammy Awards. I think the trick might be knowing when to draw the line?

Heidi Klum and Seal pregnant again!

2009-04-16T00:56:00.000-07:00

The news on the street this week is that Supermodel Heidi Klum and hubby Seal are anticipating the arrival of a new addition to the family! An insider from the show Project Runway, on which Heidi is host has told In Touch Weekly that Heidi is around four months pregnant. The source also reveal how the privileged information was leaked during wardrobe preparations for the 6th season of the show and how Heidi Klum planned on announcing the pregnancy to the public:

“Sketches leaked online of her in redesigned couture gowns to make room for a bump, but were quickly taken down! She plans to announce her pregnancy when she wears the dress [from the leaked photos] to the event.”

Heidi and Seal already have two sons, Henry, 3, and Johan, 2. The couple met when Heidi was a few weeks pregnant with daughter Helene Leni, 4 from Heidi's relationship with Italian RaceCar team manager Flavio Briatore however Seal see's Leni as his own daughter.

Regarding parenting Leni in this interview with the Daily Mail (November 2007) Seal said:

“To me, it’s irrelevant. Anyone can father a child. Big deal. Raising the child is the key. Flavio has no contact with Leni. That’s not because he’s a bad person. I actually think he’s great in many ways, because a selfish man might want to disrupt the child’s set-up, and he’s clearly not a selfish man. He obviously sees the set-up and leaves it alone.”

The gorgeous celebrity couple are very hands-on with their three children and apparently have no problems juggling heavy and demanding work schedules and parenting. The family always look extremely happy, down-to-earth and close knit when photographed out and about.

A big congratulations from everybody here at fabricjam.com!

GQ Interviews Zac Efron - May 2009 Issue

2009-04-14T02:10:00.000-07:00

17 Again Actor, 21 year old Zac Efron will appear on the cover of GQ next month (May 2009 issue). The photo shoot that accompanies his interview is probably Zac's most slick and stylish shoot yet, we have the photo's for you below. Perhaps Zac, or his management team are trying to transform his image into a stylish sex symbol, similar to that of Justin Timberlake, who covered the March 2009 issue of GQ after being named GQ's Most stylish Man. Justin also started off his career at Disney but has succeeded in shaking off the child star tag a long time ago.

Apparently Zac has just learned the naughty F* word too as the interview was completely filled with expletives! Although Zac specifically states that he doesn't want to alienate his long standing fans, this kind of language is a strong indication that the young star is keen to break away from his High School Musical roots and capture a more adult audience and fan base.

High School Musical, the Disney hit films are what brought Zac Efron his current celebrity status however Zac is growing up fast, having just turned 21 and simply doesn't want to be seen as a child star anymore. Zac recently featured in a photo shoot with a topless girl laying on top of him, another signal that he's desperate to rid his HSM squeaky clean 'Disney' image.

My favourite quotation from the interview had to be when Zac (on the subject of underage drinking) tells us:

"I don't want to be famous for my personality. If anything, I keep that under wraps"

It's kind of like he wants to be famous but doesn't want to be obligated to behave himself... I admire the boys honesty in this interview!

Interview clips:

We pulled the highlights from Zac's interview with GQ below, but use this link if you want to read the full interview on GQ's home site.

Zac Efron talks about those False eyelashes rumours:

"If somebody can find any photo that shows me wearing false eyelashes, I will give them a f----- million dollars. That's bulls---. You know what, dude? A couple of times, when I was young, and I didn't know what the f--- I was doing -- it's just what happens. Somebody's there, and it's their job. And they load you up with makeup. They don't do the girlie thing, but they, y'know, cover your zits. It didn't come from a self-conscious place -- it was just what everyone did. And since then, people just constantly think I'm wearing makeup. It's a recurring theme. But f---, man. I have never worn false eyelashes in my entire life."

Zac on doing community-theater productions as a kid:

“It was the worst possible thing you could do in high school. Kids who are in musical theater tend to be self-confident in a quirky kind of way, and when kids who are really self-conscious see somebody doing that kind of thing, they try to bring them down. I used to do random things, man. When I was a kid? I dyed my hair silver, to look like Sisqó in the Thong Song’ video. I just didn’t give a f—. I didn’t care.”

Zac talks about his career ambitions:

"A guy I worked with recently told me, 'You have to earn the right to old a gun.'And that completely made sense. Can you imagine me running around with a gun in a film? I noticed the second I started that the things you want to be involved with are always just out of reach. Most parts you'd want, people won't really consider you for, because you have to earn that respect. The things people do want you for are usually not things you want to do. At one point, somebody said to me, 'What do you wanna do? A cool crime drama? Do you wanna shoot up heroin? We'll do anything you wanna do ... the 'Musical'."

Zac Efron on his next film endeavor:

"I'm truly ready right now. I can't wait, dude. I'm going to do something -- something cool. Something people aren't necessarily expecting."

Zac Efron on Britney Spears' house:

"That's where f-----' Britney Spears stays. You can't drive by there because of all the paparazzi."

On why he chose to do 17 Again, which opens this Friday (April 17):

“It’s very transitional, y’know? I didn’t wanna alienate the fans that had been around for so long. The fans, who’ve been around for so many years.”

On Burr Steers, the Director of '17 Again':

"He messed with my head a little bit. There were scenes where I had to be pissed off, so he'd be a total a--hole all morning, to make me a little bit on edge. I had no idea what he was doing until after the movie was over. I just thought he was a huge a--hole. But it turns out he's incredibly smart. He doesn't just give you what you want to hear and tell you that you're doing a great job. It's a different kind of love and support."

Zac on the entertainment business:

“It’s crazy, all the stuff that happens down there. It’s the American dream. I mean, it’s beautiful. But it’s so f—ed up. Up here, everything’s green. And down there, it’s crazy.”

Zac about his parents:

"They completely believed that there was a one-in-a-billion chance I would ever be successful. And that was ingrained in the back of my head: I will fail. I'm going to fail. They managed my expectations. I was always prepared to fail. So it was kind of confusing when things started to work out."

Zac spills the beans on what Leonardo DiCaprio told him:

"I thought I was gonna ask him questions. He ended up asking me questions, and in that, he told me a lot. He said, 'There's one way that you can really f--- this all up. Just do heroin. If you steer clear of that, the other obstacles you'll be able to navigate.' And that makes sense, dude."

Zac on underage drinking:

"I wasn't programmed by Disney. It's common sense. If you're gonna be drunk with your friends, don't get wasted at the Chateau Marmont and hook up with some famous chick. It's not rocket science. I don't want to be famous for my personality. If anything, I keep that under wraps."

Zac on rumours he and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens are engaged:

"That was such bulls---. I'm definitely not getting married. In this business, you're either getting married or they want you to be pregnant. I'm not getting married until I'm 40. If ever. The thought never crossed my mind ... Maybe not 40. Maybe not until I'm 30."

Eminem takes a swipe at fellow celebs in his new video

2009-04-11T01:51:00.000-07:00

36 year old Academy award winning Rapper, Actor and Music Producer Eminem is back on the music scene with an outrageous new single titled 'We made you', due for release next month. This is the first single from Eminem's forthcoming album Relapse.

Though the single isn't officially out yet, the video is already making its rounds on the internet. In it, Eminem has a poke at more than 18 well known celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, Republican Politician Sarah Palin, Lindsay Lohan & Samantha Ronson, Amy Winehouse & Blake, Brett Michaels, Rihanna, John Mayer and ex Jennifer Aniston. Click here for the full list on MTV's website. If his dressing up and reinacting scenes leave the viewer with any doubt as to the celebrities identities, Eminem also mentions them all by name in his somewhat witty lyrics.

* See the video and read the song lyrics here: musicloversgroup.com.

Although Eminem is quick to poke fun at others, he also takes a shot at himself towards the end of the song. In the video, the lyrics: 'Lord help us, he's back in his pink Alf shirt' are accompanied by a shot of Marshall holding a birthday cake, wearing a pink Alf t-shirt. This is a direct reference to the very photo which was spread across the internet when Eminem first became famous, trying to out him as a white middle class 'Emerican' - rather than the credible hardman of rap he was exuding to be through his music.

One part I personally found a little uncalled-for was where he re-inacted the scene between Rihanna and Chris Brown in a Star-Wars setting. I don't believe domestic violence is an appropriate subject to include in a light-hearted comical video.

Eminem's video is cleverly intended to catch Public Attention and cause as much controversy as possible after a few years without releasing any records. After all, isn't Celebrity name bashing what got Slim Shady noticed on the radio waves in the first place with his first big hit single 'My name is'? The rapper certainly knows his game, he knows just what captures peoples attention and more importantly, he knows what sells! Unsurprisingly, Eminem is currently one of the worlds biggest selling artists having sold more than 75 Million records worldwide.

In typical Eminem style, the chart topping lyrical genius makes no apologies for his song, telling MTV News:

“There’s some celebrity bashing in it, I wanna say it’s not necessarily intentional bashing in it; it’s not necessarily taking deliberate shots at people.… Yes, it is. What the f— am I talking about?”
Celebrity Reactions so far:

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly

"He represents the lowest form of entertainment in this country and is a publicity hound to boot…It's so crude what he does,”
O’Reilly explained on his show. "Eminem is obviously on an obscene rant about Sarah Palin, it's totally obscene, totally inappropriate. All I want to do is repeat that Eminem means nothing. The video means nothing. It's played for kids that are confused."
Kim Kardashian, mocked for her backside and shown being put in a wood-chipper wrote on her official website:

“I think this video is so funny, I am a huge Eminem fan and find it flattering that he would rap about me. You just have to let it go and have a sense of humour. Personally, I'm
honoured.”

MSNBC quotes a source close to Jessica Simpson as saying:

“She's fine, not a big deal but yes she does find it a little bit annoying.”

Fan Reactions:

Fans are also expressing their views online, some saying “Welcome back Eminem!”, others saying saying that they love the video and funny lyrics but not so much the actual song. One comment on this website reads:

“The song is ok but features again the familiar patter of Eminems rapping that never changes. When he starts taking on characters from his own celebrity circles there'll be cause for celebration”

The video is only released next month, 15 May so we will have to wait to see how the song fares on the charts.

Gwyneth auctions off her clothing

2009-04-10T09:01:00.000-07:00

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has just informed us via her lifestyle website goop.com that she's auctioning off some of her clothing in order to generate funds for the Robin Hood Foundation, a New York based charity.

In her latest goop newsletter, Gwyneth writes:

"In keeping with the idea (as my mom says) of shopping in your closet, I recently did a good look-through and found some things that I will now call “vintage” as well as doing a big cathartic spring cleanout. I thought maybe I would eBay some of my favorite and most treasured things to raise some money for the Robin Hood Foundation, who do a lot of amazing work in New York City. So check it out if you are interested."

Below Gwyneth models some items and offers style advice... Some of the clothing is great, I especially like the boots and dress by French designer Isabel Marant.

Look #1: Classic Trench Coat
The trench coat never goes out of style. Whether you invest in a Burberry or pick up this Topshop version, it’s a staple that will always remain in your closet. Wearing the trench with distressed jeans and black flats is perfect for the morning school run. You can also throw it over a dress for a slightly more dressed-up occasion.

Look #2: Nautical Stripe
The classic French t-shirt always looks right in spring year after year. This one by St. James is as authentic as it comes.
Note: preppy rules, just don’t do it from head to toe. Look #3: Ethnic Prints
Both of these looks are by Isabel Marant, a young, chic designer in Paris. These dresses are easy to wear as they have their own thing going on and don’t need any accessorizing or further thought. Many brands have the same idea at the moment, see below for the Topshop version.

Look #4: Slouchy Trousers
You can’t go wrong with a good pair of khakis. These baggy ones are extremely comfortable and work rolled up. Pair with a shirt that has some edge to mix up the look.

Look #5: A Jumpsuit
If you do want to shop and you are looking for an on-trend item, the jumpsuit is making a comeback in a big way. This one is more evening but Zoe Tees make amazing, comfortable ones that work well with any shape.

Gwyneth signs off the newsletter saying:

“Click here to shop GOOP’s eBay store. All proceeds will go to the Robin Hood Foundation. Robin Hood finds, funds and creates programs and schools that generate measurable outcomes for New Yorkers battling educational failure, joblessness, teen pregnancy, abuse, AIDS, hunger, homelessness and more.”

Tom and Gisele holiday and marry again in Costa Rica

2009-04-06T15:00:00.000-07:00

Model Gisele Bundchen, 28 and Quarterback Tom Brady have just held their second wedding ceremony this year, the event was held at Gisele's home in Costa Rica. On 27th Feb this year we reported details of their first wedding. The couple exchanged vows again in a beautiful sunset ceremony last Saturday (4th April 09), but this time it was in front of some friends and family who weren't able to attend the newlyweds first wedding.

For the most part the ceremony remained private and unphotographed by paparazzi due to heavy security. There were a few sneaky pap shots of the ceremony taken from a far, the photographs are a little blurry but you can check them out below. Even in such unclear pictures, Gisele looks very beautiful, her choice of dress is just like her: simplistic and exquisite.

Scroll down for further details of the wedding and more photographs of the family at the seaside the day prior to the wedding.

Shockingly, reports have it that there were gunshots fired directly at photographers by the bodyguards which were hired to protect the couples privacy. Thankfully it seems that nobody was injured, but the photographers seem to have gotten a real scare. One photographer told People Magazine:

“I didn’t see who had the gun, I’ve been shot at before, but only when I was covering the war in Iraq or when I was in Israel. This is ridiculous!”
Photographer Rolando Aviles told the New York Times:

“At that moment, I thought was going to die. The bullet went between us, missing our heads. If the bullet had been a little more to the left or right, it would have killed one of us.”

Other than the 2nd wedding, Gisele and Tom took Tom's son John Moynahan (with ex-girlfriend Actress Bridget Moynahan) to the coast for the day on Friday. They look really happy, walking in the sea and taking a break to kiss at one point. Gisele appears very naturally maternal with little John. Unsurprisingly, Gisele recently commented on step-parenting John by saying:

“I understand that he has a mom and I respect that. But, to me, it’s not like because somebody else delivered him that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent!”

Matthew McConaughey chats with Rachael Ray

2009-04-05T03:27:00.000-07:00

Actor Matthew McConaughey and his long-term girlfriend, Brazillian Model Camila Alves were spotted out at a Malibu beach yesterday spending time with their gorgeous 9 month old son Levi. What a cute boy!

See below to read what Matthew has to say about parenting on the Rachael Ray show last week...

Matthew McConaughey , the 39 year old 'Failure to Launch' actor appeared on the 500th episode of the Rachael Ray Show last week where he discussed many aspects of his colourful life, from being a father to his other talents as well as his newest business venture. Read interview snippets below:

How did the couple come up with the name Levi? Matthew tells us:

“We [Matthew and mother of his child Camila Alves] were talking, thinking about Levi and we hadn’t decided yet and then he was born at 6:22 p.m, which is my favorite verse in the book of Matthew. Camila and I looked at each other and were like, okay, this kid is Levi now for sure.”

On the subject of travelling with a 9 month old baby, he has this to say:

“Levi is doing well, man, five stamps on the passport”

“Check this out, perfect tank of gas before he wakes up and is ready to eat. So as soon as it gets below a quarter of a tank and I gotta pull off to get gas, Levi's waking up. So far so good. We're having a good time - he's an easy traveler.”

When asked what he would do if he weren't an actor, McConaughey responded:

“I think I'd either want to coach a college program, football, or go off and do like what Steve Irwin did. Or be a chef.”
Talking about his cooking expertize, Matthew tells us:

“I really like to get everything in one bowl, a lot of times we'll make a pasta and we'll make a salad, and then we'll make a meat dish ... we end up putting pasta on the bottom, because of the heat, and then layering the salad and the meat on top. I love merging like that.”
As a Texas native, Matthew loves his barbeques and likes to devise his own sauces and rubs.

“You can have so much fun with paprika and brown sugar bases, and you can go any way you want to!”
Matthew also reveals his newest business title, a Record Producer!

McConaughey has recently started his own Record Company "Just Keep Livin Records" and signed singer Mishka to his label. He brought Mishka along to give us a taste of his music with a special live performance on the show. If you're interested in hearing what his music is like then go to Matthews own website matthewmcconaughey.com where you'll hear Mishka's songs playing in the background. Mischa also has his own official site, check it out here: Mishka.com.

I'd say the musical sound is a little reminiscent of Bob Marley and the Wailers. It takes me back an era as I haven't listened to that style of music in quite a few years but I do like it. If it's your kind of thing, you can purchase Mishka's songs on iTunes or you can buy his new album.

On introducing the Caribbean-influenced singer-songwriter Mishka, Matthew showed his admiration and respect for the singer by saying:

“I want to introduce you to the guy who was the inspiration for me to start my record company, Just Keep Livin Records, it's a guy whose lyrics have always inspired me ... and a guy that I'm proud to say is also a friend of mine.”

We wish Matthew McConaughey and Just Keep Livin Records every success!

Heidi Klum's outrageous mid-street photoshoot

2009-04-03T01:45:00.000-07:00

Pedestrians in Rodeo Drive, LA were in for a big surprise this week when they unwittingly walked straight onto the set of Victoria's Secret Model Heidi Klum's latest photo-shoot. Heidi, being the professional that she is, continued modelling as if it were just her and the camera-man, despite the fact that she had drawn huge crowds, most of them clammering to get their own photo of the Project Runway Host.

One ensemble consisted of a black top, shiny black leather leggings and a pair of outrageous 8 inch killer heel boots. I mean killer... as in, if you fell whilst wearing these you would probably break your neck. Should these boots should be legal? Thankfully, Heidi has her wits about her and doesn't take any risks, lying down for the duration of the murderous heel shoot.

In the other photographs during the shoot, Heidi Klum poses seductively in a rather risqué red sequin dress accompanied with a red cotton wrap and black heels. Heidi then shows us some cleavage with her lace bra on show wearing a large, unusual black satin and white lace dress. Interesting.

Last month it was revealed that Heidi Klum would be the face of the new Victoria's Secret Perfect One Bra, which also landed her the covershot of Victoria's Secret's brand new Catalogue.

Not bad going for gorgeous mum of 3 Heidi!

Rihanna's new 'Gun' tattoo causes a stir

2009-03-28T02:28:00.000-07:00

This week Rihanna decided to add two new tattoo's to her vast body art collection which currently include stars, a skull and crossbones, Arabic writing and an electric guitar. This time Rihanna opted for two Guns to be etched onto the top of her ribcage. As you can imagine, its causing a fair bit of controversy.

The tattoo's were done in a little independent Tattoo studio in LA called BangBang. Concerning Rihanna's new body ink, BangBang had the following to say on his website:

"I really wanted to put it here [on her arms]... She loved ‘em. But, Cover Girl wouldn’t have liked it much... and they pay the bills!"

The mis-use of Guns and Gun Crime is well documented as a large scale and almost uncontrollable problem in many countries across the globe. Many youngsters turn to violence as the only way to solve even minor problems and in the hope of building their street reputation, credibility or profile. Parents are now criticising the move branding the tat irresponsible. Rihanna is a high profile teen idol, they want to know why she would openly advocate the use of Guns by having such a tattoo done. One would expect it from a singer like Eminem, but not from Rihanna, a clean-cut singer whose fan base comprises typically of young girls and boys.

Rihanna's loyal tattoo artist BangBang has now spoken in her defence, taking all of the blame for the controversial inkings saying that it's a symbol of protection - not of violence.

“I’m a big advocate of guns. So I said, ‘How about a gun?’ “I printed out a picture of a gun that I thought would look good, and she loved it. “It’s powerful. It’s protection. At least that’s my interpretation of it.”
- Rihanna's tattoo artist at BangBang

Even so, does this mean guns should be deemed as one's source of protection, a solution to solve conflict? I think it's a tad thoughtless on Rihanna's part. Perhaps she should have considered the reason 'Cover Girl' may have disapproved. Have your say below in the comments section.

Judging from the amount she has at age 21, it seems the starlet might be developing a fetish for body art, move over Angelina Jolie! Check out Rihanna's other tattoo's here:

Lastly, some food for thought...

Have you ever wondered exactly what you put on your skin every day?

If you've ever researched the ingredients that go into your skincare products you may be surprised and even quite alarmed! Even very high end products don't necessarily contain the best ingredients and 99% of them are chemically based with a few botanical ingredients thrown for good measure, certainly not completely natural, ie: Botanically Based. Botanical ingredients are costly, which is why 99% of the Cosmetic Brands you will find in Department stores use cheaper substances like mineral oil as a base for their products.

Most skincare products and make up contain some kind of animal by-products too, which means that the fat from dead animals is put directly on your skin. Companies who don't use animal by products will publicize the fact that they don't use animal-by-products, so if your products don't make this claim - chances are that you're putting some kind of animal on your skin when you wash, moisturise and apply make-up.

Introduce yourself to Swiss Arbonne's Botanically Based Skin Care products which contain no Animal By-Products, no Petroleum and no Mineral oil, are Dermatologist Tested, Hypo-Allergenic and contain patented cutting-edge Technologies with proven astounding breakthrough results in Anti-Ageing!

I've found skin care which works wonders for my skin and knowing that the products are truly good for my skin and contain no junk makes me feel great about using and selling the products!

We have amazing skincare products for both men, women and even teenagers. Arbonne is a 30 year old, trusted Swiss company who's Scientists are leading pioneers in the cosmetic's industry. If you want good skin, contact me for free product samples and try the ranges for yourself!

Audrina in 'Divine Rights of Denim' jeans Campaign

2009-03-25T03:22:00.000-07:00

23 year old The Hills star Audrina Partridge has been spotted wearing Divine Rights of Denim jeans a fair bit recently, now we all know why! Miss Partridge has just completed the Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign for Divine Rights of Denim, a sassy and moderately priced jeans brand. Last week we reported that Audrina landed her own spinoff reality show with The Apprentice's Mark Burnett. It seems that Audrina's career is taking off with a bang!

We've come across a few new promotional shots taken by small Los Angeles based photo studio smallz and raskind. Check them out below:

Divine Rights of Denim seem to be a popular brand particularly amongst The Hills clan, here we see Lauren Conrad wearing their shorts and a few more of Audrina wearing a few pairs of the cool denim range.

Audrina is in Australia right now, she's been chosen to host the Australian VMA's red carpet. Regarding the event, she's written on her blog:

“You all know what a HUGE music fan I am, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to chat with artists like The Killers, Lady Gaga, The Ting Tings, Kings of Leon and The Veronicas.”

Lucky girl!

Jennifer split from Mayer over Twitter row!

2009-03-23T23:53:00.000-07:00

When the news of Jennifer and John Mayers split broke, rumours had it that John had been the one to end things. Friends of Jennifer have spoken out to Star Magazine telling them that it was actually Jennifer who ended the relationship with one of the main reasons being the latest craze to sweep the internet, mini-blogging site 'Twitter' which carries the tagline "what are you doing?".

Apparently John Mayer often didn't respond to Jen's calls and emails citing the fact that he was busy, yet when Jennifer checked his Twitter page, he'd been Twittering non-stop.

Here are the direct quotes from the source who claims to be Jennifer's friend:

"John suddenly stopped calling her or returning her emails and when she would finally catch up with him, he'd say: 'I've been so busy with work. I'm sorry I haven't had time to call you back."

"Jen was fuming. There he was, telling her he didn't have time for her and yet his page was filled with Twitter updates. Every few hours, sometimes minutes, he'd update with some stupid line. And in her mind, she was like 'He has time for all this Twittering, but he can't send me a text, an email, make a call?'."

"He didn't even deny it. He knew he was avoiding her. So when she called him on it and ended things, he just said OK, and that he was sorry it didn't work out. He took the break-up like a man."

I guess Twitter can be pretty addictive which is precisely why the sites popularity has soured astronomically over the past year. Check out this article on mashable.com, the social media guide, which tells us that Twitter is now growing at a staggering 1,382%.

As to whether the story is true or not... I say possibly? Only John and Jennifer know all of the facts but they're only human and it sounds like the kind of thing a guy would do if he was getting cold feet or wanted to back off from the intensity of a relationship. It also sounds like the kind of thing a girl would do when they feel less important than a website, gadget or piece of technological equipment!

Even so, shortly after Aniston broke it off, John Mayer's Twitter update read: 'This heart didn't come with instructions.'

On the subject of celebs Twittering... This weekend, Saturday morning, Punk'd prankster Ashton Kutcher posted this photo (below) of wife Demi Moore’s barely clad butt on his Twitter page. The couple were holidaying in Turks and Caicos for Demi's ex Bruce Willis’ wedding to lingerie model girlfriend Emma Heming.

The caption accompanying the shot read: “Shh, don’t tell wifey.”

Jade Goody dies on Mothers Day

2009-03-22T03:20:00.000-07:00

27 Year old Reality TV Star Jade Goody has quietly passed away in her sleep in the early hours of the morning, around 3:55am, following a brave and public struggle against Cervical Cancer. Ten days ago Jade left hospital so that she could die more peacefully in her own home, a beautiful country house in Essex, South East England.

For the past 48 hours Jade has been in a Coma like sleeping state and though family and friends have known that her passing was inevitable, the speed at which the Cancer has spread through Jades body has left family, friends and many members of the public shocked and devastated.

Jade was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer last summer and found out just two months ago that the cancer had spread to a point where doctors could do no more to save her life.

Since the heartbreaking news emerged, in the hope of creating a comfortable financial future for her children, Jade has done many paid interviews with the press and sold OK! Magazine the rights to her wedding 5 weeks ago to long term boyfriend Jack Tweed. The Magazine paid £750 000 for the rights to photograph the touching ceremony and and interview the family.

Over the past few months, Jade's amazing story of her incredibly brave fight against cancer has touched many peoples lives and the severity of her condition has prompted thousands of women to have smear tests done themselves. There have been countless women writing into various media sources telling a similar story, that that Jade has in effect saved their lives as doctors have caught their cancer early enough to successfully treat. The importance of regular smear tests has been highlighted to all who have heard of Jade's plight.

Jade shares custody of her two small children Bobby, 4 and Freddie, 5 with ex-boyfriend TV presenter Jeff Brazier with whom the boys are expected to move in with permanently. Jade's mum, the boys Grandma Jackiey Budden is also very involved in the children's up-bringing and is expected to help with a large proportion of the boys care.

Jade's publicist Max Clifford said: “I think she’s going to be remembered as a young girl who has, and who will, save an awful lot of lives. She was a very, very brave girl. And she faced her death in the way she faced her whole life - full on, with a lot of courage.”

Jade, who has been very brave and realistic about her condition has already planned her own funeral, to be held this week. In keeping her typically positive and cheerful demeanour, she has told her family that she wants it to be a celebration of her life. She has requested a traditional burial and a service held at a local church close to her home.

A spokesman for the family has said: “The funeral will be a celebration of Jade’s life, a reflection of how she’s lived in the last seven years—full on. She wants to say farewell to anyone who wants to be there. It will reflect the happiest seven years of her life. There will be tears, but a lot of love and laughter as well.”

Jade first became famous in 2002 when she appeared on the British Big Brother as a loud, brash and mouthy 21 year old who often came out with silly yet somewhat humorous comments. Following her exit from the house Jade lived her life in the public eye, often doing interviews with various magazines about her life in general such as weight, relationships, having children and her business ventures.

In 2007 Jade and boyfriend Jack Tweed appeared on Celebrity Big Brother on which she was accused of making racist remarks toward fellow contestant, Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty (Pictured below with Jade). The media and public turned against Jade for a period of time, yet it seems Jade was beginning to get past this episode when the terrible news of her Cancer struck. Jade received the news of the cancer live on Television whilst filming an Indian version of the show in India.

Since finding out about her illness and up until just a few weeks ago, Jade's every move has been followed by cameras. Many people had hoped and believed that Jade would survive and beat the Cancer but it became so aggressive and spread to her Liver, Bowels and Groin. Eventually it was accepted that there was no hope and the people close to her did everything they could to make the last few weeks of her life as good as they could possibly be.

May Bobby and Freddie, Jade's children, find comfort from their family who love them dearly. We pay our respects to Jade and her family, may they be comforted in the knowledge that she is finally at rest and no longer suffering.

Audrina Partridge lands spinoff with The Apprentice's Mark Burnett!

2009-03-21T02:57:00.000-07:00

Audrina Partridge has this week announced that she will be departing from 'The Hills', the show which first made her famous as she's landed her OWN reality spinoff! Audrina, pictured yesterday filming scenes for the 5th series of 'The Hills' follows in the footsteps of fellow co-star Whitney Port. Whitney started filming her own spinoff 'The City' last year which captures her personal and professional life in her career move to New York. The highly anticipated series already looks to be a winner!

The pretty 23 year old has signed a deal with British television producer Mark Burnett (Left). Burnett, who has produced a string of successful reality tv shows such as Survivor and both the US and UK Apprentice has commented on the news saying: "We are truly pleased to have the chance to work with Audrina. She has already proved her star quality, and we can't wait to show her fans worldwide the next stage of her life and career." The proposed new series will follow Patridge in her personal and professional life and will be pitched to networks in the U.S. beginning next week.

About Mark, Audrina has told People magazine: “I wanted to collaborate with the best possible team for my first big project after The Hills. Mark Burnett really understands my vision and I am excited about the concepts we’ve developed that will show people a different side of my life.”

Audrina has her own Rock chic style and dress sense, she dates rugged looking guys and outside of the usual Hills gang, Partridge hangs out with a rather unique sub-culture of punk rock people. With this in mind, I'm thinking the series will be completely different to 'The Hills' or 'The City'.

Unlike many of the other Hills cast who auditioned to take part in the US show, Audrina was originally approached by The Hills film crew to star in the show. I've always had the sneaky suspicion that Audrina conforms to the image of the show which appeals to a mass audience instead of being completely herself. I'm interested to see what the show will have in store for us. It could be another huge reality show hit or a complete miss as I think the current format, style and genre of people is what draws viewers to shows like 'The Hills' and 'The City'. On the other hand, with such a successful producer in charge, I'm sure Mark Burnett will ensure it has what it takes to make the series a hit!

With Lauren Conrad also said to be leaving The Hills, we're not sure who will be left to film or for Spencer Pratt to wind up? This news prompts wide speculation that is the end of the road for the highly successful MTV show whose 5th series premieres on April 6, 2009. An MTV Spokesperson has said: "We cannot confirm a sixth season at this time, however, 'The Hills' will continue as long as there are stories to tell, and as of now we don't see an end in sight."

Natasha Richardson dies, we pay tribute

2009-03-19T02:29:00.001-07:00

British actress Natasha Richardson, 45, has tragically passed away last night, just two days after she fell whilst skiing at the Mont Tremblant resort North of Montreal. Family, friends and fans have been praying for Natasha since the shocking news of her condition broke two days ago.

Natasha was taking a private skiing lesson on a beginners slope where she hit her head in a fall which wasn't determined to be severe at the time. Unfortunately, it was not believed that she was wearing a helmet. Immediately after the fall, Natasha was seen over by medics and discharged as being alright as she displayed no immediate sign of internal injuries.

It was only an hour later that Natasha started to complain of a severe headache which prompted concern and led to her seeking further medical attention. The star was taken first to a local hospital in Ste. Agathe, Quebec, and then was transferred to the Hopital du Sacre-Coeur de Montreal. On Tuesday, Natasha was transported to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, where her family gathered in hope that she would recover.

Full details concerning Natasha's passing have not been officially released, but it is thought that she suffered traumatic brain injuries for two days following the accident and that her life support was reluctantly turned off by medical professionals on Wednesday. Joan Rivers, a close friend revealed: "I was told they kept her alive to bring her back to New York so the boys could say goodbye to her."

Neeson’s publicist Alan Nierob issued a statement last night on behalf of the family saying: “Liam, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone.”

Natasha Richardson is a member of the Redgrave family, known as a dynasty in theatre and acting. She is the daughter of British screen legend Vanessa Regrave and late film producer and director Tony Richardson. Her grandparents are Actors Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson. Vanessa is also the sister of Joely Richardson and niece of Actress Lynn Redgrave and Actor Corn Redgrave and cousin of Jemma Redgrave.

Natasha married Schindlers list and Star Wars Actor Liam Neeson in 1994 after meeting on set during the filming of 'Nell'. The couple have been blessed with two sons Micheál and Daniel.

Natasha has always worked incredibly hard and hence enjoyed a hugely successful acting career. She made her first film debut at the tender age of 4 in a film directed by her father, The Charge of the Light Brigade. Richardson acted on Broadway, various Theatre productions, on a tv mini-series and in Box Office Movie hits such as 'The Parent Trap' and 'Maid in Manhattan' alongside Jennifer Lopez. In 1986 she won the London Drama Critics’ most promising newcomer award for her performance as Nina in The Seagull alongside her mother. She also won a Tony award for best actress in a musical for her performance as Sally Bowles in Sam Mendez's production of Cabaret on Broadway in 1998.

Natasha will be missed by her family, friends and her fans all over the world.

Natasha as a person and talent was appreciated deeply by many people. Some of Natasha's celebrity friends have spoken out to pay beautiful tributes to her, recorded below:

Tv comedienne Joan Rivers spoke of an amazing day spent on a yacht in the Carribean with Natasha, Liam and her two sons.
"It was one of those wonderful days where we just talked, enjoyed the day and drank wine. She was amazing and darling. I have so much respect for someone who goes to Broadway, then film, then back again. Natasha and Liam were totally happy, totally devoted to each other - that's what kills me. They were totally devoted and he doted on what she said. I was told they kept her alive to bring her back to New York so the boys could say goodbye to her"

Sam Mendez

"Natasha combined the best of Redgrave and Richardson: the enormous depth and emotional force of a great actor on the one hand, and the intelligence and objectivity of a great director on the other. She was one of a kind, a magnificent actress. She was also an amazing mother, a loyal friend, and the greatest and most generous host you could ever hope to meet. It defies belief that this gifted, brave, tenacious, wonderful woman is gone."

Film director Michael Winner

"It's a terrible, terrible thing. It's always tragic when people of such buoyancy and life are taken away on what appears to be utterly trivial events. She was a wonderful actress - the whole family is incredible - and she had not yet fulfilled her possibilities. Whenever you met her, it was like a joy. It's a twinkle and a sparkle that has left the world."

Friend, film director Paul Schrader

"Natasha Richardson was an extraordinary actress, not just for her beauty, lineage and talent but for her intelligence and fearlessness. She was brave and smart. I was in awe of her from the time we first met and will miss her dearly."

Michael Parkinson, chat show host

"I met her a couple of times, I know Liam quite well, I've interviewed him two or three times. My thoughts are with him, it's a terrible, awful tragedy. They are a close-knit family, they will be able to share their grief together, that is the only consolation. Liam is one of the nicest guys I've met in the business, and so was she. They were very unshowy people, they did a job, got on with their lives, enjoyed their lives - it's very sad."

Lindsay Lohan, co-star in film The Parent Trap

"She was a wonderful woman and actress and treated me like I was her own. My heart goes out to her family. This is a tragic loss."

A spokeswoman for the US-based charity amfAE, the foundation for Aids Research (of which Natasha was on the board since her father died of an Aids related illness in 1991)
"Our hearts go out to her family. This is a catastrophic loss for them, and it is a terrible loss for amfAR and the fight against Aids. Natasha generously contributed her time and resources to amfAR for over 15 years. Her passion for the cause and tireless efforts gave hope and inspiration to the scientists and healthcare workers on the front lines of this deadly epidemic, as well as to the millions of people living with HIV/Aids around the world."

Kenneth Cole, designer and close friend

"She was great, always there, she always had a wonderful optimistic can do attitude. Natasha had this wonderful way with everything. There was nothing that didn't seem to make sense or find a rationale. She lived a very lovely life style but everyone adored her. She felt she could make a difference and she did. She adored her kids and she adored Liam."

Martha Stewart

"Just heard the tragic news about poor Natasha Richardson. Her family must be devastated. My sincerest condolences to all."

Actress Demi Moore

"I am sending out prayers for Natasha Richardson and her family. This is a real reminder of how precious life can be."

Film Director Nick Moore, who worked with Miss Richardson in her final film, Wild Child

"I'm shocked and deeply saddened by this. She was wonderfully generous and kind; a complete joy to be with. All the kids in the movie loved being around her. She pitched in and was great with them. She led by example."

The ladies just love David Beckham!

2009-03-17T14:51:00.000-07:00

Beckham hasn't put a foot wrong since the 2004 affair allegations and I'm sure every paparazzi photographer in Milan is out for that compromising shot of him and another woman.

Last night Becks unwittingly played into the paps hands being pictured out at a Cancer Research Gala dinner in Milan in a rather friendly position with Italian socialite Gabriella Dompe. Gabriella had just placed the highest bid for a Beckham shirt at the fundraising auction held at the city's Le Officine Del Volo. I'm not sure that this bit of personal attention was included in the auction.

The second photograph which to me looks like a friendly chat shows David with stunning supermodel Malike who is also the wife of football boss Adriano Galliani.

David and Victoria Beckham's marriage was first rocked by rumours of infidelity in 2004 whilst the couple were living in separate countries and Beckham got a little close to his PA Rebecca Loos. She claims to have had an intimate 4 month affair with Becks. Nobody sued but Victoria kept her dignity and put on a brave face for the world standing by and supporting her husband, the father of her three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

Rebecca Loos on the other hand sold her story to every tabloid who would hear it, appeared in a dramatic televised interview detailing every liason with the footballer, even showing us his saucy text messages. Loos milked it for all it was worth and as one does nowadays, she also appeared on various reality television programmes. Only last week (yes, 5 years on!) I saw her in a magazine telling us she is pregnant and is glad it isn't Becks... poor David just can't shake her off!

Following the highly publicised alleged affair, the Beckhams managed to keep things together and move forward. The family has moved to LA, given birth to baby son Cruz, launched the now successful DVB clothing brand, completed a spectacular Spice Girl reunion tour and done loads of modelling including most recently the his and her Giorgio Armani campaigns... in fact everything seems to be hunky dory in the fabulous world of Beckham.

Just last week the couple spent time together dining out before being temporarily separated whilst David plays Soccer in Milan for Football team AC Milan and Victoria stays with the children to work in LA.

I'm sure it was all perfectly innocent evening, David even wowed the crowd with some of his football skills during the night. Let's hope Victoria's in a good mood and shares that same sentiment when she comes across these pictures.

Jennifer and Mayer OVER (yes again!)

2009-03-13T00:36:00.000-07:00

Actress Jennifer Aniston and long term boyfriend, musician John Mayer appear to have ended their relationship for the second time according to close friends and reported by E! News. The on-off celebrity couple first got together in April 2008 before splitting, then getting back together. Both parties reps have declined to comment at this point.

Jennifer has only just returned from her trip to the UK promoting her new rom-com dog film Marley and Me where she stars opposite Owen Wilson.

Whilst on tour, she told a magazine: "Who ever said that every relationship has to last forever? That's hoping too much, I think every relationship is a world unto itself."

When on the topic of finding the perfect partner, she said, "I don't have one and I don't think it exists." Whilst she seems to be speaking from the heart and her honesty should be congratulated, cynical words like this don't paint a happy picture of her idea of love or what a relationship represents to her.

Jennifer also told US TV show Extra earlier this year that the pressures of dating are worse than when she wasn't famous. She added: "I think it's just hard to date. It's not like we're kids. We're not dating. I love dates - when you're already with someone."

The split is rather untimely as Jennifer and Jon only went public with their relationship for the first time at the end of last month when they attended the Oscars together looking like a happy and very much in-love couple. Backstage at the Kodak Theatre, Aniston told Gayle King, who was interviewing them for her pal Oprah's show, that she was "very happy." Later in the evening, they strolled arm in arm into the Vanity Fair post show party at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Jennifer and John, apparently happy together at the Oscars

Jennifer also presented an award at the Oscars with Jack Black which which was watched by none other than Angelina and Brad. Jennifer and Angelina haven't actually come face to face since Angelina hooked up with Brad shortly after Brad and Jennifers split. It must have been a big night for both parties.

Left: Picture shows Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt enjoying watching Jack Black and Jennifer Aniston on stage.

As for the future, close friends have told People magazine “They had some disagreements and decided to not continue to see each other, Jen is moving on with her life like she always does. She seems happy.”

I'm sure she'll have plenty to of distractions to keep her mind off the split as she starts filming in New York city this spring. In her new film 'The Baster', she stars opposite Jason Bateman in a role as an unmarried 40 year old who decides to have a baby with her best friend.

John Mayer is currently working on his new studio album.

Both Jennifers ex's have moved on with new loves, children and children on the way (Vince Vaughans fiance is reported to be pregnant). It can't be a huge comfort to Jennifer knowing that the men who have passed through her life seem happy and settled with their partners. On the other hand she is extremely successful with a platter full of box office hits under her belt and loads of friends!

A bit of time and we think she'll be ok!

Gisele tells Harpers Bazaar she's ready for kids!

2009-03-12T06:28:00.000-07:00

Brazillian bombshell, newlywed Gisele Bundchen is once again gracing the cover of Harpers Bazaar for the April 2009 issue. Previous covers include 2002 and 2004 issues of the stylish mag.

Inside, fans will be delighted with the in-depth interview where she offers exclusive insight into her life, openly discussing growing up, her and Bradys baby plans and just why Gisele has chosen Tom to be her husband!

I've read the article thoroughly and extracted the interesting bits for you... enjoy!

When Harpers asked about new hubby Tom Brady, Gisele has this to say: "Tom is a good guy, he has a very pure heart. He's very naive, almost like a child. That is my favorite quality about him." She continues, "One thing that I thought was so amazing when I first met him is that he is innocent. He sees the world with colored glasses. It's beautiful, but I think that is rare. I love that about him. No one else sees that. He's very strong and focused in his job, but he's so sensitive, it's amazing."

Gisele also admits to Harpers that she is now ready to become a mother and also gives us some beautiful insight into her old-fashioned values saying: "I want to have a big family, my parents have been together for 36 years, and that is what I want. I am in that place. It's all good in that part of my life. It's one part of my life that I'm learning about every day. I've been challenged a lot by it, but it's the most rewarding part."

On the subject of husband Tom's Brady's gorgeous one-year-old son, John Edward from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynaham, Gisele beams, saying, "I love kids, it's amazing that I have the opportunity to hang out with my stepson all the time." Gisele continues, "He is so kind. He loves blueberries, and every now and then my dog, Vida, tries to get some food from him. He is so nice that he will give her the blueberries first. He is so cute and has such a sweet demeanor."

Only this week this cool photo of Gisele and little John hanging out together was snapped in a park...

Gisele also reveals some aspects of her past which surprisingly weren't covered by the ever intrusive media at the time. She talks intimately about a very low time in her life where the point came when she needed to take half a year off work and go home to Brazil before travelling through Africa.

"I was drinking a lot of red wine, smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes a day, and eating cheeseburgers all day. I was treating my body, which is my temple and my best friend, as my worst enemy," Gisele reveals. "I was almost punishing myself. I was so tired. I was working so much, and I was numb."

Following that period of unhappiness, Gisele turned to self-help books for advice, "If you are happy, you can give happiness, if you don't love yourself and if you are unhappy with yourself, you can't give anything else but that" she adds.

About her humble up-bringing and hometown, Gisele says: "There were no traffic lights in my city, no movie theater — one hotel, and one bank, we didn't have a housekeeper, so we all cleaned the house." Giseles father (a teacher) and mother (a bank cashier) raised their six daughters while working.

Gisele was discovered at age 13 by an Elite agent at a shopping mall. "Maybe if my family had been wealthy, I wouldn't have done it, but because they weren't, I decided to go," she says. "I didn't want to leave my whole family, but my parents were working and I had ﬁve sisters, so things were challenging. I ﬁgured I could be independent and work. I thought I could take care of myself and it would be one less child for them to worry about."

The article goes on to describe Gisele's undoubtedly massive success as a model...

At the end of the interview and photoshoot, Harpers tells us that Gisele spent ages wiping off make-up, false eye-lashes and flattening her hair before wailing, "I haven't seen Tom in 10 days and now I'm going to show up like this?" Sweet girl...

Wow! Great interview! Definitely worth a magazine purchase!

Here are some of the stunning chic Harpers photoshoot pics which I'm sure will be even better on paper in the magazine...

Vanessa Hudgens lends boyfriend Zac to Taylor Swift for the night!

2009-03-11T06:15:00.000-07:00

Apologies for not blogging over the past few days, unfortunately I had no internet access!

News for Zac Efron and Taylor Swift fans...

Last night, Zac Efron attended his new film premier 17again with beautiful country-pop singer Taylor Swift as his date. Taylor wore a lovely white Grecian inspired dress whilst Zac played it safe in a black suit, white shirt and striped tie.

Zac has left long term girlfriend and High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens at home in the US whilst he visits the stunning Australian Capital. About girlfriend Vanessa, he told interviewers that he wished she could have been there too but was very happy to have Taylor by his side adding: “She’s a lovely, lovely girl.”

The pair spent much time signing autographs and posing for photographs together. Zac found time to talk about his trip to Oz telling the press: “I have a great time whenever I come here, it’s amazing weather, fantastic fans, there’s so many familiar faces. I recognize like half of these girls from previous premieres.”

Earlier in the day 22 year old Etron was seen out sightseeing with yet another unidentified female friend before taking a boat ride together. No need for rumours of the rendezvous being anything untoward... judging by the book under her arm it could be some kind of tour guide? Either way, cool girlfriend that Vanessa for lending out her boyfriend to Taylor Swift for the evening!

Britney kicks off her Circus world tour!

2009-03-05T02:40:00.000-08:00

Turn on the radio and everybody is talking about how fantastic Britney looked when she kicked off her world tour in New Orleans two days ago.

With a combination of fantastic choreography, risqué outfits and Britney even singing one song without miming, concert goers really got their money's worth this year! In keeping with the Circus theme there were loads of circus acts such as jugglers, acrobats, clowns and even a magician who magically made Britney Spears disappear onstage!

Britney's clothing designers say they wanted to "create something much more provoking and indecent ... something animalistic and primal".

You be the judge as to whether that goal was achieved.

Check out Britney's outfits below:

Britney appears in a cage wearing a fetish style bustier and lace up boots to start the show

Britney pushes the boundaries in Burlesque lingerie

Another two revealing ensembles

Britney goes Bollywood in green and gold harem pants

Gwyneth Paltrow defends her site 'Goop.com'

2009-03-02T02:01:00.000-08:00

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow's new lifestyle website goop.com has been highly criticised in the media recently. The New York Times newspaper calls Goop “fatuous and puzzling” and Toronto’s The Globe and Mail newspaper commented on the name Goop, saying: “Perhaps the domain names 'Any Old Load of Rubbish' and 'Learn From Me, Ungrateful Peasant' were both already taken.”

In response to the criticism, Gwyneth says: “I think the people who are criticizing it or criticizing the idea of it, don't really get it, because if they did, they would like it.” She adds: “I think that people like people to stay in their 'box' – they like people to stay how they are comfortable seeing them. There's nothing incendiary about it. I find it really interesting because it's a harmless newsletter that goes out each week.”

The earthy star and beautiful mother of two tells why she decided to launch the website: "because I felt like I had a lot of really useful information that I was privileged enough to get, because I have this amazing, super, fortunate life."

The actress, mum, model and wife of Rockstar Chris Martin gives the following cocktail of tips for making your own life better. She says: "Make your life good. Invest in what's real. Cook a meal for someone you love. Pause before reacting. Clean out your space. Read something beautiful. Treat yourself to something. Go to a city you've never been to. Learn something new. Don't be lazy. Workout and stick with it. GOOP. Make it great." Inspiring.

The site, which carries the tagline "nourishing the inner aspect" is simple and clean looking. It comprises of small newsletters which read much like an honest diary entry with pictures under 6 different subheadings represented by icons. The headings are 'Make, Go, Get, Do, Be and See'. Every week subscribers receive an inspiring newsletter. Topics vary from parenting to cooking, eating out, exercising, books and globe trotting. The letters are both candid and revealing which is quite unusual as the star ordinarily conducts her life in a very private manner, shying away from publicity.

I personally think her site a great idea and totally get the concept. Admittedly, the site targets mum's and women with a little bit of time on their hands so even though I love it, I can see how not everybody would appreciate the content or find it useful.

If the writing is Gwyneths own, she is actually a surprisingly talented writer. I found the newsletters an interesting read, her writing style is intimate, humble, unassuming and down-to-earth, very 'normal' considering the fact that she is an A-list celebrity.

You can go to goop.com yourself but for your convenience, I've pasted this week's newsletter so you can get an idea of what it's all about:

"Paris
When I was ten years old, my father and I took a trip to Paris, leaving my younger brother and mother in London where she was filming a movie. My dad believed in one-on-one time with us, and sometimes that extended to a weekend away. We stayed at a great hotel and he said I could order whatever I wanted for breakfast (French fries). We went to the Pompidou museum, the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre - the usual spots. It was pretty great. On the plane back to London he asked me if I knew why we had gone, just he and I, to Paris for the weekend. I said no, but I felt so lucky for the trip. He said, “I wanted you to see Paris for the first time with a man who would always love you, no matter what.” From that time on, Paris was and continues to be very special to me. I lived there for five months in 1994 and I have made many trips back. These are the places in Paris I stay and eat and toast my dad.
Love, Gwyneth"

Rihanna & Chris Brown back together!

2009-02-28T06:14:00.000-08:00

According to breaking reports, Rihanna and Chris Brown's relationship is definitely still very much ON despite the fact that Chris Brown allegedly assaulted Rihanna 3 weeks ago.

According to multiple media sources, the couple are currently holidaying together at P Diddy [Sean Combs] Miami Beach's star Island Abode.

A source close to the couple spoke to People.com saying: "They're together again. They care for each other. While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves."

Last night, Ronald Fenty, Rihanna's father has told USMagazine.com: "I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I'm behind her win or lose. I will be supportive. If that's the road she wants to choose, I'm behind her. I hope to see her soon. I talked to her after her birthday, and she told me she's OK."

There have been no comments by reps for either Chris Brown, Rihanna or P Diddy about the reunion.

Rihanna has issued just one statement since the altercation, this was addressed to her fans on her 21st Birthday (just 24 hours after the row). The statement read: "At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown. She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time."

Last week Rihanna was pictured for the first time since the incident holidaying in Punta Mita, Mexico. The picture here (courtesy of the Daily Mail) shows Rihanna in a yellow bikini looking quite down and depressed. Fortunately there is no evidence of any facial scarring or bruises in the photograph.

If they are still together, we're pleased Chris is taking anger management classes as it could be Rihanna's saving grace.

Though we strongly believe assault in any form is wrong, we don't agree or disagree with Rihanna's decision as we're not privy to all of the facts or information involving the alleged assault. We just hope this doesn't happen again.

Gisele says "I do" to Tom Brady!

2009-02-27T01:29:00.000-08:00

Victoria's secret model Gisele Bundchen has wed her boyfriend of 2 years [New England Patriots quarterback] Tom Brady in a private ceremony St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California. The Brazilian beauty once described her dream wedding as: "... a simple ceremony...I don't like parties, I prefer something more intimate, just for the closest people."

Unfortunately we have no pictures for you at this time and as the couple are quite private, we hope they're not going to do a Brad and Jen (releasing one measly photo). We can however give you a little inside scoop about the ceremony and the dress!

Friends say that it was private and intimate wedding with predominantly family and a few close friends in attendance. Tom's 16 month old son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, cute John Edward Thomas Moynahan was present to share in his daddy's special day too.

Gisele, 28, wore a Dolce & Gabbana form-fitting ivory lace strapless gown along with a trumpet skirt, scalloped edges and a stunning long train. Her veil was a beautiful floor-length one, on it were handmade satin roses attached to a satin headband. Giseles three dogs also joined in on the occasion wearing matching Dolce & Gabbana floral lace collars.

Tom was said to have proposed on a private plane on 24 December, however last month Gisele spoke about getting married to Brazilian magazine Caras Gi saying "Someone deduced I was getting engaged...I don't know how people are so creative."

Gisele and Tony, who started dating whilst Tony's ex-Girlfriend Bridget Moynahan was still pregnant with Thomas have always remained extremely private about their relationship, never releasing many details to the press and public. According to close friends however, they have a wonderful and caring relationship.

We at fabricjam.com wish them all the best!

Chris Brown attends first Therapy session

2009-02-26T01:54:00.000-08:00

Chris Brown has attended his first Anger management therapy session in Glendale in a bid to convince court officials that he is making attempts to get help for his 'anger problems'.

Last week TMZ.com posted a photograph of Rihanna with multiple bruises, swelling and marks on her face. The picture, (which I won't post here, you can find it all over the net) is rather disturbing and shows Rihanna with her eyes shut and a hurt expression.

Numerous friends and even family members of the star are reporting back to the media that she is doing 'fine'.

This week, singer Neyo who sang with Rihanna in the song "Hate that I love you" and is also friends with Chris Brown spoke to MTV about the incident.

"I spoke to Rihanna. She says she’s fine. She didn’t go into detail about what happened. I understand it’s a painful situation. I didn’t push. I saw the picture. That just really - that hurt me to my heart, man. Again, I still don’t know what happened ‘cause I haven’t had the opportunity to talk to Chris yet. But to take it to that level really hurt my heart.

All I can say is, I’m praying for both of them. They’re both in my prayers. I haven’t had a chance to talk to Chris yet. I just wanna sit down and talk to that dude and just explain if he doesn’t understand: ‘That’s not something that’s excusable.' You have to get a little smarter about whatever it is going on in your relationship. You have to get a little smarter about how you handle certain situations. I’m not going to crucify him. I’m not going to do that. That’s still my homeboy at the end of the day. I won’t say who was responsible. I won’t pick no sides. I’m just saying it was wrong."

Last October, Ne-Yo spoke to The Sun Newspaper telling them: "I’ve hung out with them so much that I know that it’s the real deal and they’re in a relationship... I’ve seen them kiss and make up like other couples do. I’ve seen the ups and downs."

Chris Brown is due in court next month, charged on suspicion of making criminal threats.

Sienna Miller's label Twenty8Twelve makes London Fashion Week Debut

2009-02-24T02:22:00.000-08:00

Though Sienna Miller did manage to make it to a pre-Oscars party, she wasn't able to make the Oscars this year. Instead, Sienna, along with her fashion designer sister Savannah took their design collection Twenty8Twelve to another level with a debut show in London Fashion week.

To describe the clothing range, I'd say it's a little boho, biker chic which in essence reflects the sisters own personal styles. A punk influence is also mildy evident in keeping with the times.

Within the collection we saw skin-tight dresses, crystal-embellished cashmere knits, floral tunics, beautifully finely tailored “highwayman coats” and backless tunics with Swarovski crystal-shoulder-pads “like an American footballer” as Sienna put it. A point there for originality!

“These clothes are funky, and there’s something for anyone” says Sienna of the collection. The clothing has two prominent influences from Savanna's 'eco-chic, stylish stay home mum style' to Sienna's 'bohemian chic jet-setting working girl style',“Put them together [Savanna's and Sienna's influence] and it says London cool” says Sienna.

Sienna also spoke of the labels recent success, “Sales have been very good, particularly in England and America, and we felt it was the right time to do a show." Of her own career path Sienna told us: "I'm not giving up acting, I love acting. But I also love working with my sister. We’ve always been two sisters playing dress-up, ever since we were kids and we’re still doing it.”

Though I'm not keen on the whole collection, we wish them the best with their growing label, Sienna has great style and an intuitive fashion sense, it's obvious that she should be in fashion.

Our girl Kate has been at the 2009 London Fashion week, so keep checking the The fabricjam.com street style blog where she'll be telling us all about it within the next few days!

Lily Allen bare all interview with 'Extra'

2009-02-20T03:19:00.000-08:00

'Smile' singer Lily Allen, daughter of Actor Kieth Allen, has done a frank and revealing interview with US tv show 'extra'.

During the interview, the singer discusses a wide range of topics from her weight, posing topless to tabloid rumours. Proving that she's just like the rest of us, Lily tells the interviewer "I Google myself about ten times a day and that's the truth."

Lily also announces that the person she'd most like to work with is country singer Dolly Parton "I love her" says Lily.

When asked about the tabloid stories which constantly surround her, Lily responds laughing: "They bother me if they're inaccurate, in which case I sue... in which case it doesn't bother me because I make money out of it!"

Lily was asked what her greatest fear would be, to which she replied: "Probably dying alone, and pigeons maybe," Lily confesses. "I just don't like when you walk near them and they fly towards you... and they flap their wings fast."

Lily tells us that she would definitely consider stripping down for a shoot saying: "I'm just very comfortable in my body, I wouldn't do it in a 'Hey look at my boobs' kind of way." (hmm.. not sure which other way there is to do it?)

On the subject of her frequently fluctuating weight, Lily reasons: "I was eating a lot of unhealthy food because it's difficult to source fresh food when you're on the road. When I came off the road and was living at home, I was making myself dinner and I've been healthier."

As for what's next on the agenda for the mouthy yet talented singer, Lily says: "I guess get married and have children. That's probably on my list to do before I die."

GQ Interviews Justin Timberlake

2009-02-19T07:44:00.000-08:00

Singer Justin Timberlake has been named GQ's Most stylish Man in the March 2009 Issue of GQ magazine. Justin gives the magazine a rare heart to heart interview about life, fashion and style. When asked who his favourite style icon is, surprisingly, he answers: “Kate Moss” Why? “She looks good in anything. She would look good in one of your T-shirts, in her T-shirt, in a man’s suit, in a huge gown. She looks amazing naked. She even makes nude look stylish. That, to me, is a style icon. She could put a barrel on and it would be some sort of statement.”

“The guy is the King of Pop—he can wear whatever the hell he wants.” says GQ

JT sports a few different styles in his photoshoot including a chic leather jacket, high top Puma's and White jeans in another photograph.

Chris Brown apologises for his attack

2009-02-18T01:11:00.000-08:00

Singer Chris Brown has issued a public apology in a written statement for "what transpired" last weekend. This refers to the violent attack and threats he made on the un-named women, reported in the media to be Brown's girlfriend Rihanna.

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person,” Chris's statement reads.

Police have said that they were called to the LA suburb of Hancock Park just after midnight last Sunday. Chris was involved in after an argument with a woman which escalated into violence. Police have declined to name the victim for confidentiality reasons. Police say the woman suffered visible injuries.

"Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong, while I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds." Chris added.

Rihanna has not yet appeared in public since and both Chris Brown and Rihanna have cancelled all public appearances since the alleged assault.

Chris has gone from being a teen icon with a clean cut reputation to a public villain, all within the past week since the news emerged. Celebrities, bloggers and the public have expressed outrage regarding the alleged attack. Many radio stations are now even refusing to play Chris's music.

Nobody should be subject to any form of physical violence. Thankfully the matter has come to light, hopefully this will prevent the violence from escalating any further between the couple. With Rihanna being a huge role model to many women all over the world, this might encourage other women to report crimes of this nature to the police.

The matter is now in the hands of the police, we hope the correct punishment is served and that Chris will truly seek help and emerge a better person as he has promised. Chris Brown himself has been scarred from physical abuse inflicted on his family during his childhood, we hope this cycle of abuse will end here.

Britney's breakdown inspire's 50 Cent's new LP

2009-02-17T01:55:00.000-08:00

American Rapper 50 Cent (born Curtis James Jackson III) has told OK Magazine during a recent interview that it was Singer Britney Spears who inspired his aptly named 4th studio album 'Before I Self Destruct'. This, the rappers latest album is due for imminent release and looks set to be a big one featuring the likes of Rapper Eminem and Producer Dr Dre.

In the interview, 50 Cent candidly admits to having had a morbid fascination with the Artists well documented and spectacular breakdown through 2007/8.

“She was the greatest show on earth last year. She was going through her issues in public. It was great to watch her spin out of control because it makes the average person feel better” says 50.

Britney, the former squeaky clean teen pop sensation started on a slow and public mental descent in January 2004 when she unanticipatedly married her childhood friend Jason Alexander in a drunken ceremony in Las Vegas. She went on to have the marriage annulled 55 hours later. Just six months later, Britney announced her engagement to Kevin Federline, a backup dancer who's ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson was still pregnant with their second child.

During her relationship with Kevin Federline, Britney's public persona changed dramatically, with her physical appearance and behaviour a lot less perfectly contrived. Media coverage intensified along with the public's curiosity and morbid fascination.

Britney went on to marry Kevin Federline and announced her divorce a few weeks after the birth of their second child. Following her divorce announcement, Britney's decline went from bad to worse as she pulled many outrageous stunts such as being photographed without underwear out partying with pal Paris Hilton, a performance of "Gimme More" where Britney seemed 'out of it' at the 2007 MTV awards and driving around the streets of LA aimlessly all night.

Britney went on to suffer complete meltdown which led to her children being taken away from her and Kevin Federline being given full custody of the children. Perhaps the most alarming and shocking incident was when Britney completely shaved her head.

Since Britney's father, James Spears has been given co-conservatorship over Britney, she has been on a steady road to recovery. Britney looks better than ever and brought out her new album 'Circus' in 2008. There has been extensive speculation as to the why and how Britney arrived at the point she was at, but MTV's 2008 documentary 'Britney - For the Record' offers a unique insight into the world of Britney where she explains some of her behaviour.

We wish her all the best, it's amazing to see a person go to such deep depths of self-destruction and find the strength to see themselves through to the other end.

As for 50 Cent's album 'Before I self Destruct', we're sure this has provoked speculation and drawn massive amounts of public attention to his new album which is all part of good PR. We at Fabricjam.com look forward to the album release to see what kind of take the star has on Britney's breakdown.
