Ever wanted to ring up your favourite pop star and just have a chat? Well any fans of Mims can now get his number online and give him a bell for a good chinwag. Talk about desperate for publicity!
It seems Jennifer Aniston is heading for heartbreak again as her boyfriend John Mayer
has been spotted canoodling with another woman. He was seen snuggling up to a blonde woman in a Santa Monica restaurant two days aster spending the night at Jen’s house. The couple originally split up because of John’s wandering eye, particularly the fact he was pictured enjoying a Jacuzzi with a bevvy of beauties. You know what they say, a leopard never changes his spots.
It’s not often that I feel bad for celebs, but in this case I feel a twinge of pity for Natalie Cassidy who has gone rocketing back up to a size 16, after getting down to a miniature size 8. Her extreme regime and lettuce leaf diet proved to be her downfall, which is why I’m such a huge supporter of all things greasy and dipped in chocolate- anytime you want some tips Nat, you know where to come…
2008 has been a mixed year for the fantasy movie as all of them try to live up to the success of The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, some doing a little better than other, so we take a look at the future of the fantasy movie. There are some corkers in the pipeline!

Yet another famous face has admitted to having an addiction, good job Lil Wayne is only hooked on the sweet taste of candy. Phew!
It seems Lindsay Lohan’s father, Michael Ronson, is still craving attention and his latest attempt to get in the public eye is to announce he wants fans of the actress to “intervene in every way possible to help Lindsay”. He wants them to help Lindsay see how her girlfriend Samantha Ronson is destroying her life. We’re sure Lindsay will be delighted by this invitation by her father for fans to interfere in her life. The only one we see hurting Lindsay is this bloody fool.
Some interesting fashion news has reached us about Red Carpet Queen Angelina Jolie who apparently wore her dress backwards to the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards on Sunday. It’s unfortunate that her hugely embarrassing mistake has just been revealed to the world, and now all eyes will be upon her for a similar slip-up at next months Oscars. Don’t worry Ange, it’s not like you’re the favourite to win or anything…he he he
Right after we have got rid of the miserable Andy Murray, good god that boy need to crack a smile, we are at the business end of the Australian Open and Roger Federer looks on fine form as he strolls into the final.

Confessions Of A Shopaholic Gossip! January 29, 2009

Patricia+Field+On+Confessions+Of+A+Shopaholic+Fashion-7066.html
Next month will see the release of Confessions Of A Shopoaholic in the Uk, and I for one am beyond excited!
Having been a huge fan of the books, to learn they were making it into a film caused me no end of dizzy spells and after pictures were leaked from the set, I was even more excited.
Seeing that Patricia Field is behind the costumes, I shouldn’t of been surprised by her quirky style choices, but I was. This seems to excell anything she has done before, and yes that does include style queen Carrie.
Devil Wears Prada was very polished and chic, SATC was a bit messy and fun- this seems to be young and vibrant and for that I’m counting down the days, until this film officially lands here.
I’m also a big fan of Isla Fisher who will be taking up the lead role as Becky Bloomwood. After laughing out loud at her performance in Wedding Crashers, she looks just as odd and kooky in this film, which will suit her character down to the ground.
We look forward to replicating the new fashion looks asap, until then we’ll have to make so with the odd picture and some words of wisdom from the set…

I love it when you see your own life reflected in the lives of famous people… and today i realised that Lily Allen is much like my father’s new wife… after both turned out to be money grabbing gold diggers.
Apparantly Paris Hilton believes Gordon Ramsay is the British Prime Minister. The latest airhead comment came while she is in the country promoting her new TV show. She also claimed she doesn’t know what Essex is or a pint. A pint? Come on Paris we can believe the Essex comment but don’t they have measurements over in America? We all know this dumb blonde act is an act and we’d probably like you a lot better if you dropped it. Like now.
Why waste money on expensive beauty products, when all you really need is a pint of beer and a punnet of strawberries to look good. Don’t believe us? Well ask Catherine Zeta-Jones
to explain in more detail just why she chooses to wash her hair with beer, rub salt on her body to exfoliate and clean her teeth with strawberries. Seems CZJ may have gone a little loopy in LA LA land if you ask us…
She may have made a fool of herself when she won at the Golden Globes two weeks ago, no surprise the American loved her OTT speech, but Kate Winslet really does have awards potential. Hopefully she will win the Oscar and everyone will stop harping on about how she has never won.

Wednesday Revelations January 28, 2009

Horrible news in the week today as news emerges that a fan has died at a Slipknot gig. I guess all the critics of heavy metal will have something justified to moan about now
Oh we do love it when a juicy bit of celebrity gossip hits our desk, and it’s even more delightful when you realise it’s about someone who is supposedly perfect in every conceivable way. Step forward Sienna Miller who reportedly angered legendary Vogue Ed, Anna Wintour with her unruly hair and wonky teeth, which had to be heavily airbrushed. Ha.Ha.Ha…
The roller coaster ride that is Amy Winehouse’s love life continues. The singer now is to return to the UK from her month long holiday in St. Lucia to visit Blake to stop him filing for divorce. It seems despite been snapped with some – much better looking – men on her hols Wino has decided that Jailbird Blake is the one for her. Well for now anyway.
Is anyone else sick of the big budget blockbusters that seem to dominate our cinema screens? In a bid to try and escape the same old garbage we take a look at some of those hidden gems that are overshadowed at the box office. And today it’s the turn of Happy Go Lucky

Behind The Scenes With Eternal Lord January 27, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , add a comment
One of the first really ‘alternative’ bands I was able to interview whilst at FemaleFirst was (to quote Wikipedia) and “
English deathcore band” and so clearly I was expecting four blokes with long hair, band tee’s and beer in hand.Oh why oh why do I always get it wrong?
Despite the fact that at many shows you see arrogant front men who think the world revolves around them and their giant egos (Oli Sykes Anyone?) So it’s really bloody refreshing when someone is famous in their field, and still manages to keep two feet on the ground. Even to the point where they sell their own Merch.
The guys were the nicest (and some night say prettiest) band I’ve ever met, they were so nice to me in my pink polka dot dress as I wandered around, climbing over amps, guitars and various other musical instruments backstage.
In what could have been their final interview, we talked about everything from hair-do’s to ice cream, and it was nice to meet a band who didn’t bleat on about how amazing they were or take life altogether too seriously. Aah.
Just a shame really that after talking about their plans for the future and their latest album, that a few weeks later singer Ed Butcher left the group; ultimately leading to their disbandment – I just wish I had gotten to know them sooner.
One thing’s for sure, after Ed protected me from the life-threatening pit that erupted during Shaped By Fate’s set, he’ll be a friend for life.

Skirts For Men January 27, 2009
Posted by jess in : Fashion , 1 comment so farNo you’re eye’s aren’t deceiving you, the latest trend designers are pushing on to us, well not us but our fellas, is mens skirts. (See more here: http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/lifestyle-fashion/styletrends/Trend+Alert+Skirts+For+Men-7036.html)
The likes of Yohji Yamamoto, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen, people who really should know better, have all used the look in their menswear shows in Paris.
This look has tried and failed many times in the past so just give it up fellas. Skirts are our domain and while stealing from your beau’s wardrobe may be ok for us girls but keep your mitts off ours!
Anything short and flowing is strictly for girls, let’s leave it that way!

I know I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night without a glass of the good old Blossom Hill but it seems like Adele has decided to give up booze for good from now on. At least next time I’m at a party with her there will be more booze for me.
Not content with swapping music for fashion, he has also swapped Kanye for King. That’s right Kanye West now wants to be known as Martin ‘Louis’ The King Jr following the launch of his clothing range. We do like you Kanye but your cocky attitude means you’re in extreme danger of turning into the new P Diddy and no one wants that.
This lady seems to be everywhere at the moment and now it appears that Michelle Obama may soon be gracing the cover of fashion bible, Vogue. They seriously seem to be letting anyone on there at the moment, not that we’re not fans of the new First Lady and her fab style, but back in the day you had to have been an anorexic supermodel for 10 years before you made the grade. How times have changed…
Britannia rule the waves, well from a movie perspectiveanyway, as Kate Winslet and Slumdog Millionaire continued their march to Oscar glory at last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards both scooping gongs, and no Winslet didn’t sob all over the place!

Monday – Heads Up January 26, 2009

So we might not all be Victoria Beckham’s biggest fan – what is she famous for anyway? – but the fact that Morrissey claims not having to put up with her is one of the good things about dying might be a little extreme! Oh well, he’s entitles to his opinion!
Gwyneth Paltrow has come up with a novel idea to cheer pal Madonna up. The actress has formed a book club to take the singer’s mind of her divorce. We can think of more novel ways to cheer yourself up including wine and/or chocolates but hey, each to their own.
It’s hard to believe that it’s twelve months since Heath Ledger passed away and 2008 has been a great year for the actor. Celebrate a career cut short.
There are some style icons that emerge in the world of fashion that you can never predict. Step forward Aretha Franklin and her magical bow hat. It stole the show on Tuesday’s Inauguration and now the millner that custom made said hat, has been inundated with requests for the unique looking creation. It’s off the wall and everything, but really what would we wear with it?!

Oh dear, we know Bush might have left the White House mildly red faced, but it seems Barack Obama isn’t doing much better after being given the starring role in Barack Obama: The Musical. Oh well… at least it’s not Bush: The Sacrificial Lamb.
Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. appears to have replaced one addiction with another as he is now obsessed with goggling himself. The actor loves to see what people have written about him even if it’s negative. Well we can’t imagine he’ll ever be short of material.
Seeing as we’re all practically in love with Victoria Beckham here, any nasty comment that emerges about her, pretty much gets shot down instantly. So to learn she lived in her dress designs, a year before they went on sale to make sure they would be comfy and practical for her target consumers, makes us love her even more. That, and the huge tan mistake she made at Milan Fashion Week…
Hollywood’s biggest names walk down yet another red carpet tomorrow evening at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and FemaleFirst’s movie writer put her money where her mouth is and predicts the winners.
