Ruth’s Thursday Roasting May 28, 2009

Posted by Roslyn in : Daily Dis , add a comment

Our jaw almost hit the floor when we saw these pictures of Holly Valance locking lips with a dashing young man.. but you’ll be even more surprised when you hear the story behind it.

Susan Boyle, the woman we all loved, stunned fans when she threw a huge tantrum after watching Britain’s Got Talent in a hotel bar.

Despite the fact that everyone and their grandmother has been talking about the Katie and Peter split recently, it would appear that Peter Andre himself is planning to keep schtum over the separation.

That Jesus Luz is a bit hungry for fame isn’t he?! The male model/Madonna’s toyboy has now gone on Brazilian television, to call the queen of pop “beautiful” and then promptly deny there is anything between them. In fact, they’re just friends apparently. Yeah Right.

It’s nice to know that even supermodels are struggling in this recession, after all how else could you explain Cindy Crawford becoming the new face of SPAR?! She’s not exactly the first person you think of when you pop down your local convenience store is she?

So Dan Aykroyd has dropped some hints as to what will happen in the forthcoming Ghostbusters movie. And it will be a girl that leads the team I’m all for progression and all but this is a film franchise that should be left well alone, it really is the old team or nothing! I foresee a major disaster with this movie mark my words.

Well, well, well boys and girls, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for… FemaleFirst’s Band Wars 2009 is now open for entries and we want YOU!If you’re in a band, or you know someone in a band who might want to get their little mitts on a weekend at a top London Recording Studio, some promotion from Momentum PR and the chance to get your hands on some Glamour Kills merch; then look no further… because July 12 is your chance to sort it out!

You’d think Fergie would take her music career very seriously these days, but apparently not, as she swigged bottles of wine whilst recording The E.N.D, so she could show fans what it’s like to party with the Black Eyed Peas. Very professional Fergielicious… what a great role model you are to teens

Prison bound rapper T.I. played a rousing farewell gig to fans on Sunday as he winds down his career before embarking on a year-long stint behind bars. Bye Bye T.I, have a nice, Um, break.

Ok so Inglorious Basterds may have been grabbing all of the Cannes headlines but it wasn’t Tarantino’s war movie that scooped the Palme d’Or as Michael Haneke went under the radar to claim the top prize.

There are not many people who would turn down Roberto Cavalli, especially in favour of Marks and Spencer but Myleene Klass has done just that. The TV presenter said no to becoming the face of Cavalli’s designer labels sticking with the high street favourite. Roberto’s not giving up yet though.

First Lives of Pippa Lee Trailer May 26, 2009

Posted by Helen in : Movies , 1 comment so far

Later this summer a great ensemble cast, led by Robin Wright Penn, comes together for The Private Lives of Pippa Lee.

From all outward appearances, Pippa Lee (Penn) leads a charmed existence. An anchor of feminine serenity, she is the devoted wife of an accomplished publisher (Alan Arkin) thirty years her senior, the proud mother of  two grown children, and a trusted friend and confidant to all who cross her path.

But as Pippa dutifully follows her husband to a new life in a staid Connecticut retirement community, her idyllic world and the persona she has built over the course of her marriage will be put to the ultimate test.

Amy Winehouse The Style Icon… Really? May 26, 2009

Posted by jess in : Fashion , add a comment

Can we just talk for a second about Amy Winehouse’s fashion collection with PPQ?

I might not be Amy’s biggest fan but even I can admit she’s one hell of a singer, when she’s not off her face. Her talent is singing through and through though, fashion is not a place for her. Her wardrobe seems to consist solely of grubby vest tops, cut off shorts and blood stained ballet pumps. And if there is better stuff back there then why isn’t she wearing that?!

I am yet to see a picture of Amy where I think  ‘Oooh I like that outfit’, even when she does swap her vest and shorts combo for something different, so why has this woman been given a collection with a fashion label as brilliant with PPQ? She has been sharing clothes with a 69 year old grandmother this week for God’s sake!

There seems to be a trend in the fashion industry for any celebrity who has ever worn clothes to release their own fashion collection, regardless of their experience in fashion. Kate Moss, we can understand that one but Beth Ditto? What are Evans thinking?! Surely there are plenty of plus size celebrities more stylish than her.

Just because someone is popular does not automatically make them a style icon. It is a similar case with Michelle Obama. She seems like a lovely woman and she does look nice, but so is my mum and she certainly hasn’t become a style icon. Let’s leave designing to the designers and let celebrities do what they do best, hang around outside ChinaWhites waiting for the paparazzi.

Britain’s Got Talent: Is It A Fix? May 26, 2009

Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , 8comments

The semi-final’s of this years Britain’s Got Talent only started on Sunday night, but already there have been a number of ‘shocking’ decisions made by the judges.

Although I’m inclined to agree with the four acts that have made it through to the final so far, it would seem that the British public aren’t quite so happy, despite the fact that the two who make it through, as usually the pair who receive the highest number of votes.

You see, the first act that goes through in the live show (so far that’s been Susan Boyle and Flawless) are voted 100% by the public, and then the judges choose the second act to make it through, based on the next two with the highest number of votes. Fair? Well, not according to some disgruntled viewers.

I know it’s easy to say, ’it’s a fix’ when your favourite act goes home in any show, and it seems that the decision to put through dance act Diversity, over child singer Natalie Okri has put the wind in more than a few people‘s sails.

Now, I love watching a sweet little girl singing her heart out, but come on, does anyone else think that she’s acting just a little bit too grown up for her age, prancing around like a tiny Jamelia.

Is it just me or are kids these days growing up way too fast?

Posted by Helen in : Movies , add a comment

There’s always fuss and bother surrounding any release from maverick director Quentin Tarantino and this year is no difference with his new movie Inglorious Basterds.

The movie premiered at Cannes Film Festival last week splitting the critics, some thinking it was a below par feature from the director whilst others highly praised the movie.

Check out this clip from the director himself as he introduces his new movie which brings together an impressive cast of Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger and Michael Fassbender.

Victoria Beckham isn’t known for smiling much but when she does it’s apparently fake. The former Spice Girl was voted to have the fakest smile, after winner Gordon Brown. Oh dear!

Our new favourite indie rock band comes in the form of the delicious Carolina Liar who release their debut single Show Me What I’m looking for on June 1. As a infectious slice of pop rock joy, you would be forgiven for thinking that this was the latest single from The Killers with a couple of Christmas-y sounding bells added to the chorus for that bit of extra kick.

Peaches Geldof and Paris Hilton were the talk of Cannes last week, all but snogging on some of the pictures which surfaced from the event, and now it’s rumoured that they’re planning a collaboration together. Yep, Peaches is going to model Paris’ new hair accessories apparently, which we’ll sure will turn out just great. Yawn.

We can’t seem to get away from the horror movie at the cinema, Tormented being the latest. But one thing that you can count on is the British know how to make you jump out of your seat, take a look at some of UK cinema’s best scary movies.

Well, well, well boys and girls, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for… FemaleFirst’s Band Wars 2009 is now open for entries and we want YOU!If you’re in a band, or you know someone in a band who might want to get their little mitts on a weekend at a top London Recording Studio, some promotion from Momentum PR and the chance to get your hands on some Glamour Kills merch; then look no further… because July 12 is your chance to sort it out!

As Eminem struts back onto the scene with his first album in five years, everyone is holding their breath to see if it can actually do as well as we all hope. I mean lets face it, back when I was wearing combat trousers and studying for my GCSE’s back in the day, Eminem was the soundtrack to my education and a way out for my teenage angst, but the question that hung over my head, was would he still appeal to me, now that the genre of my music interest had changed?

Amy Winehouse’s style is questionable at the best of times but PPQ seem to think she’s something as a style icon. The label is teaming up with Amy to create a fashion collection. We wonder if it will include string vests and blood stained ballet pumps.

If someone told me the secret to looking youthful was to gobble down a load of cookies, then I’d think they were clearly off their rocker. However, with Reese Witherspoon and Courtney Cox on board for this crazy diet, maybe I should reconsider and head down to my local Millie’s…

Robert Downey Jr may have been a shock choice for the role of Sherlock Holmes but, after seeing the trailer, it looks set to be one of the best films of 2009. Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary sleuth makes it to the big screen at the end of the year but take a look at the first trailer.

Well, well, well boys and girls, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for… FemaleFirst’s Band Wars 2009 is now open for entries and we want YOU!
