The ladies just love David Beckham!

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!)

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!

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!

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!

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





Britney in a military style skimpy GI Jane outfit






Britney wears black lingerie, a pink feather Bolero and a huge pink carnival Mallet











Britney dresses up as a police woman, Baton in hand







Check out the following youtube links for short video clips of the concert:

Gwyneth Paltrow defends her site 'Goop.com'

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"
