Lady of the moment Cheryl Cole has hit back at critics for laying into her tiny frame and implying she has an eating disorder. Let’s face it though, being that thin can’t be good for you… I like to think my curves (or ripples now!) are much sexier than skin and bones.)
Don’t you just love it when you find out that a famous person has an ‘incredible’ talent that you never expected? Just me? Oh well, I’m going to tell you anyway…. Reese Witherspoon is an incredible trampolinist. So that, and the fact that she’s an incredible cook makes her the perfect wife, or just feeling really sick. Hmm?
It seems that Sir Paul McCartney might actually be going cuckoo after he has revealed that his music is inspired by magpies. Right – and that killed that discussion.
Talking of nutters; just when you thought Tom Cruise couldn’t get any more off his rocker he has only gone and ‘adopted’ the Beckhams… oh how I wish Vick and David wouldn’t be sucked into his mental-case world!
And finally…I know it might be a little old, but I have only just been alerted to the fact that Heidi Montag has married Spencer Pratt! Can’t she see how nasty he is! Argh… at least now they both have fitting surnames!

Eww, ssomeone pass me a glass for dirty old man Kid Rock’s false teeth. Okay, so he doesn’t have false teeth, but claiming he’s going to “Get Katy Perry Pregnant” makes me feel a little nauseated. Maybe he should stop being so vile and go to some sex education classes?
It looks as though Mariah Carey is going to prove all her critics wrong in her upcoming movie after her co-stars were blown away by her acting skills. I think her real skill is being a high maintenance diva… but that’s just cynical old me.
Oh there is a God… (not that I ever disputed that fact!) but super hot Justin Timberlake and super gay Lance Bass have sparked rumours of an N’ Sync reunion. Sign me up for tickets… I’m there… this is my chance to marry Justin! It even said in my horoscopes that my patience was to be rewarded!
Any fans of Ludacris will be over the moon to hear that they can check him out butt naked in a group shower. Okay, so he’s doing it for the Guinness Book of Records but girls, it’s your only chance to get lathered up with the big L… so get involved!
I’m not surprised that Nicole Kidman can’t sing in front of her husband Keith Urban. If I has a boyfriend who was an incredible singer I wouldn’t shame myself by singing in front of him; I’d just end up looking like a complete idiot. But I guess relationships should be comfortable enough to allow you to do whatever you want… hey; maybe they could be the next big break up?

Oh dear Britney Spears, surely with the size of your bank account you can think of better ways to spend your birthday than parading around New York pretending you’re in the circus? We know your life was one up until last month but get with it love.
Little girls all over New Jersey will be delighted to know that Joe Jonas is a licensed babysitter in the area! Imagine leaving Joe in the house with two hormone -ridden young girls… there would be nothing left…
It seems that Madonna is officially over Guy Richie and shacked up with Alex Rodriguez. How do we know for sure I hear you ask…? Well she smiled at him during a show, so it must be true.
It would appear that Russell Brand has slept with just about every famous person’s granddaughter… First it was Andrew Sachs and now it’s the incredible Che Guevara’s granddaughter; Don’t these girls have any sleaze-detecting radars at all? Although I probably would, given the chance!
Our heart goes out to the family of Patrick Swayze after the terrible news that the star’s cancer has now spread to his liver. He has been preparing for the worst and saying goodbye to his friends and family; but we truly wish him well and continues to fight.

Behind the scenes with Richard Fleeshman November 27, 2008
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , 1 comment so farTo say I was a little bit too excited when I heard I would be getting my hands on him was a complete understatement… I’d started looking for wedding dresses and venues before I’d even spoken to him… I was totally convinced I could sweep him off his feet and down the aisle.
I was wrong.
.
As the latest soap-star turning pop-star he was brandishing himself out to all the media outlets; (FemaleFirst being his first choice – obviously.) and I wasn’t going to let this lad get past my Dictaphone and reporters notepad!
So I think he’s the deal; you work in a popular soap opera for a year or two and then suddenly you think you can sing… I mean what is that about? Acting and singing are two completely different things… so why does everyone try and fuse the two… or make one lead to the other?
This I had to find out!
However, finding out was a little trickier than I initially expected, first off, I must point out that despite the horrific attempts at a pop career by many ‘actors’, Richard Fleeshman is a bit of a bloody good singer; its a shame his looks went as his voice grew though – I liked his goth look in Corrie but now he’s got some crazy afro head, Indie boy look going on… not good.
When it came to chatting about moving from acting into singing I hit a total brick wall (he’d thoroughly prepared for this question) and it was like he was reading from a script and refused to elaborate on that. Great. Failed at the first hurdle.
And it didn’t get any better after that either; he was quite defensive and didn’t open up very much, not that I didn’t give him my best shot… I prised at him like a knife at a piece of toast jammed in the toaster, but he just wouldn’t budge, and I could feel and impending electric shock… or boredom induced sleep.
Towards the end I sort of worked my charms and got him to open up a little bit but the fact that he didn’t seem at all excited by the fact that he was on tour with Sir Elton John made me want to bash his head against a wall. Why he got that gig I’ll never know!
So what’s the result? Sorry Rich but I think I’ll find another man to marry…one who will actually have a great conversation with me… although I probably won’t print our pillow talk! ;]

Whitney Houston back with Bobby??? November 27, 2008
Posted by Roslyn in : Music , add a commentWhitney Houston has denied reports she’s reunited with ex-husband Bobby Brown after the pair was spotted enjoying a romantic dinner together in Georgia.
Houston and Brown sparked reports they had rekindled their romance after photographs surfaced of the pair spending time together on a number of occasions in the state.
A spokesperson for Houston says the former couple remain separate, “but good friends whose primary interest is the well-being of their daughter”.
The stars ended their 15-year marriage in a messy public divorce in April 2007 – with Houston reportedly struggling to overcome her drug addiction and working to make a music comeback.
They have a 15-year-old daughter, named Bobbi Kristina, together.
Lets face it they’d both be mad to contemplate the idea
Fashion Has A New Name…Luella November 27, 2008
Posted by Laura in : Fashion , add a commentFresh from winning Designer of The Year at the British Fashion Awards http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/lifestyle-fashion/stylenews/Luella-6156.html, Luella Bartley has experienced a buzz like no other in recent years.
As such, reading about her and her past http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/lifestyle-fashion/stylecelebs/Luella-6182.html has been thrilling, considering I didn’t know that much about her until I saw her AW08 collection. Now you may think that’s very current, but in truth she showed these designs back in February.. so really I’m pretty behind.
Having reviewed her collection at London Fashion Week back in September, I have to say she’s a deserving talent to win this new award, her funky pop prints and candy-coloured outfit choices for her Spring collection are set to be huge, even more so than her winter line this year. Shock Horror- I know!
There are many names that are big in fashion, but when you think of accessible, fun and quirky clothes and accessories, there is only one name that springs to mind. Her celeb following alone should be enough to convince us of her talent, and having won the international designer of the year award back in February, clearly she’s starting to get the accolade she deserves.
On some other winners who made it big on the night, I’m mostly in agreeance with the judges and their choices. Jourdan Dunn has been on our fashion radar for a while and I think she was a nice choice, considering the over-exposure that Aggy has been getting of late. Also Matthew Williamson’s award was well deserved as was Stephen Jones’ outstanding achievement award.
I’m a little bit hesitant about Jimmy Choo winning best luxury brand, but hey-ho it’s not me that’s making the decisions! I should really be supporting them considering I purchased my first pair of Choos in the summer and they are in fact my pride and joy!

Unfortunately we know that Kevin Federline won’t be getting the award for ‘Parent Of The Year’ after teaching his three year-old son to swear. Although, Sean Preston hasn’t exactly had the best pick of parents to begin with has he?
Why is it that even famous people feel the need to slag off their ex boyfriends after a split? This time it’s George Clooney on the recieving end of ex girlfriend Sarah Larson’s wicked tongue (bet he’s used to that now!) If she doesn’t want him, we sure will have him!
It’s only five minutes since she popped out her last sprog, but Angelina Jolie is reported to be pregnant again! I suppose with a boyfriend like Brad Pitt you would be sexing all the time though… didn’t she ever go to sex education classes though?
The award for idiot of the week has to go to Boy George after he revealed that he performed oral sex on a male escort despite knowing he was HIV positive. What a complete moron… does he have a death wish?
It’s nice to see that naturally beautiful Kate Winslet is embracing the ‘real’ woman she is rather than turning into a plastic bimbo like some of the other Hollywood starlets. Seems me and Kate have more in common than I thought!

Wednesday Thoughts November 26, 2008

I always wonder if I would like to now what people would say about me if I was dead. Luckily for Tom Jones he can do just that after he was reported dead last month!
I don’t know whether to applaud or be totally grossed out by the fact that Boy George handcuffed a male model to a hook on his bedroom wall following a series of sexy photographs were taken. I always though good old Boy was a bit of a strange one.
Our favourite Girls Aloud, Nicola Roberts has had to flee her home because it could collapse at any moment. When you pay £500, 000 for a house I guess a inch-wide crack in one of your walls is not a happy sight. Luckily for her she has a hunky boy to look after her until everything is super again.
I’m all for setting your sights on the stars, but The Jonas Brothers collaborating with the legend that is Kanye West might be a little bit too ambitious don’t you think? Start small yeah; perhaps with someone like Postman Pat?
Don;’t you just love people who think they are too famous to undergo airport security checks? Come on Robin Gibb… no-one knows who you are anymore, just deal with it.

Time to call in the professionals… November 25, 2008
Posted by Laura in : Belly Dancing , add a commentWell, if you read my post on Friday you will know that I was ready to give up… but then I had a Eureka moment! Get some help and some top tips on how to belly dance!
So that’s what I plan to do, I’m already arranging to talk to someone who teaches classes in the ancient art, so I’m on the right tracks at least! Hopefully she can give me some help and advice on where I’m going wrong… it’s not like I’m uncommitted or anything, I just genuinely seem to have two left feet!
I’ve got an additional video to look at tonight, which I’ll post on here this week, so that anyone else who wants to take up belly dancing can watch and get the basics.
Well, suppose I better get practising…straight after work I’m going to stick the dvd in and shake my hips until they are too sore to continue.
Keep (belly) Dancing

I always imagined Russell Brand as a naughty little schoolboy and now my fantasies have been confirmed after he admitted to getting an ex-schoolmate in trouble with police because he was jealous of him. What a way to get at someone Russell… I might try it!
All is not well in Princess Paris Hilton’s little pink la-la-land after she was dumped by boyfriend Benji Madden… she has been turning into stalker-barbie in an attempt to win him back… Looks like the only thing she’ll be getting is a restraining order.
Sad news for any Manic Street Preachers fans as guitarist and lyricist Richey Edwards has been presumed to be dead. Well he has been missing since 1994… I doubt he’s been down the pub for 14 years.
Exciting news for Coldplay fans too as they announce fantastic news about 2009. However I do know it’s difficult to imagine Chris Martin and Co in the same sentence I know.
And for anyone as sad as me who loves to sit in on a Saturday night with a bottle of wine, a take-away and The X Factor… the winners song has been announced… and people aren’t happy!
