Lily Allen wanted a fancy dress shop

Friday, October 29, 2010

Singer Lily Allen had plans to open a fancy dress shop before she settled for a vintage store.

The "Not Fair" singer, currently expecting her first child, recently opened a vintage clothing store with sister Sarah Owens, reports contactmusic.com.

"When I got pregnant, I decided to wind down a bit. So Sarah and I thought it would be a good moment to open the shop we'd been thinking of doing for years. Originally, it was going to be a fancy dress shop but because of our passion for vintage clothing, we thought this would work better," said Allen.

She says the decision to open a high-quality vintage store came after she saw many girls dressed like her.

"One of my 'light bulb' moments came when I went to a Christmas party and five people had the same high street dress on as I had. Plus the quality doesn't compare," she said

Kim Cattrall opens up about her sexual relationships

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall has opened up about her sexual relationships and how she thought that sex would lead to love, but it never did. Cattrall, 54, revealed how she lost her virginity at 15 and was so disappointed by the experience that she did not expect it to be any better later.

“It is important to realise how important love is. I separated love from sex. Or just thought sex would lead to love. It did not, of course,” the Sun quoted her as saying. “Love gives you a chance to feel at ease and be prepared to try things. You cannot be so much at ease with someone you don’t really know. I would constantly make excuses for bad sexual experiences.”

“I wish I had not made an orgasm my only goal. It is more about all-round sexual fulfilment. I would advise girls not to lose confidence about their sex life. I had convinced myself that I was not sexual - and that sex was not that important,” she added.

She also said that talking is very vital and that she used to protect herself by limiting how much she felt, and added that she now knows not to be afraid to let go.

Christina Ricci can't see herself in mirror

Hollywood actress Christina Ricci doesn't like to look at herself in a mirror because of the body issues she suffered as a younger actress.

The "Sleepy Hollow" star, who battled eating disorder anorexia after she was catapulted to fame, couldn't stand seeing herself in a mirror because she had such low self-esteem about her looks and figure, reports celebrifi.com.

"For years, I hated myself. I covered the mirrors in my house. I literally couldn't have a mirror in my room," said Ricci, who shot to fame when she was just 10 after starring in "Mermaids" alongside Cher, Winona Ryder and Bob Hoskins.

Even though she has got over her body issues, 30-year-old Ricci still doesn't like to see her reflection in a mirror.

"I still can't sit in a restaurant or someplace where I can catch my reflection. I get so paranoid," she said.

One role that helped her deal with her body hang-ups was her part in 2007 film "Black Snake Moan" - in which she starred opposite Samuel L. Jackson and had to appear for most of the movie in only her underwear.

"For that, I needed to lose any self-consciousness because I feel sometimes you can see that in a nude scene," she said.

Lindsay Lohan to spend New Year in Rehab

A California judge sent the 24-year-old troubled starlet back to rehab, telling her she was an addict and faced jail time if she relapsed again.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox ordered Lohan to remain at the Betty Ford Center until Jan. 3 and report back to court in late February.

"You are an addict, I hope you understand that," Fox told Lohan.

A prosecutor had advocated a six-month jail sentence for the "Mean Girls" star, but Fox opted for rehab after reviewing filings by probation and rehab officials and a letter written by Lohan. The actress cried after hearing the sentence.

The judge acknowledged that Lohan, 24, has been in-and-out of court and rehab since a pair of high-profile arrests in 2007.

He told the actress that he would not be manipulated by her, but was giving her a final chance to stay clean. "You're staying past the New Year's — there's a reason for that," Fox said.

Fox's sentence means Lohan will not be returning to a suburban Los Angeles women's jail for a fourth time. The judge had threatened to send Lohan to jail for 30 days for each drug test she skipped or failed.

He ordered her held for nearly a month during a hearing in September, but another judge overturned his ruling and Lohan has been free on bail and in inpatient rehab voluntarily since then.

Lohan is due back in court on February 25.

Kristen Stewart is comfortable stripping

Kristen Stewart had absolutely no feeling of discomfort while stripping. In fact she says she was surprised by how comfortable she felt while stripping for her latest movie role in "Welcome to the Rileys", in which she plays a teenage stripper.

"I think what surprised me most is probably the fact that I was so unaware of the fact that I was walking down the street with my robe opened and fishnets and beyond caring at all. I wasn`t scared.".

"I had known about this for a while before it got up and running. I’m really glad that it took a while to do so, because I think I was old enough to play the part - as opposed to not ready.

I think I would have shied away from too much, so it was shocking to find myself in situations like that, being completely fine with them," she said.

The 20-year-old revealed she visited a strip club for the first time to research her role, and even took pole-dancing classes - which she admits "hurt".

"I learned how to pole dance, although you never really see it. You do for a second; it’s like in silhouette. It really hurts and you don’t realise, of course, it’s really going to show," she said.

Matthew Leone Died on Operating Table

Madina Lake rocker Matthew Leone died several times on the operating table as surgeons battled to save him following a savage beating.

The bassist was attacked in his native Chicago, Illinois in July (10) after he intervened in a domestic dispute between two strangers.

Now he's revealed he was so badly injured, he "flatlined" several timesduring surgery to his fractured skull - and experienced "peace and an energy" as his life slipped away.

Leone is suffering vertigo and partial facial paralysis as he recuperates from the incident, but he's aiming to be back on stage with his Madina Lake band mates early next year (11)

Leone tells Kerrang! magazine, "I was 15 minutes away from (dying), andthen the surgeons sawed my dome (head) open because I had extreme internal brain haemorrhaging... I also had a few flatlines on the operating table, resulting in some metaphysical experiences that were wildly interesting to see and feel. "I didn't see the pearly white gates with my mom and my bunnies waiting for me, but I did manage to see, feel and connect to a peace and an energy that I never knew existed - that affected me profoundly". Leone is suffering vertigo and partial facial paralysis as he recuperates from the incident, but he's aiming to be back on stage with his Madina Lake band mates early next year (11). He adds, "I have some intense rehabilitation ahead of me and I may have some more surgery, but my goal is to be back onstage by February and in the U.K. by March, when we release the new album World War Iii.

I can't wait to tour again!"

Jean Claude Van Damme suffers minor heart attack

Hollywood action man Jean Claude Van Damme is said to have suffered a minor heart attack on the set of his new film 'Weapon'. According to website Twitchfilm.net, the 50-year-old martial arts star collapsed on the set of the film in New Orleans and was taken to hospital.

Production on the movie was halted to allow Van Damme time to recover at home in Belgium with his wife, Gladys Portugues. The movie star, dubbed the 'Muscles From Brussels', was likely to make a full recovery, according to a source.

"I'm hearing that production of the film hasn't actually 'halted', it's just worked around Van Damme's close ups. The film is as good as done. I'm also told that Van Damme, 50, had been feeling tight pains in his chest and took himself to hospital to look into it so not as big a drama as (the) headlines may make out." News.com.au quoted Moviehole's Clint Morris as saying.

Nelson Mandela inspires Naomi Campbell

Super model Naomi Campbell has revealed that she looks up to former South African president Nelson Mandela for inspiration when times get tough for her.

The British beauty has formed a close bond with Mandela since their meeting in early 1990s and he fondly refers to her as his "honorary granddaughter".

She says his fight for freedom during South Africa's apartheid gives her the strength to overcome her troubles, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I have to pinch myself sometimes because who in the world doesn't want to know Nelson Mandela? But I've been extremely blessed to have been in his presence many times...He's someone who I often think about when things get tough and life isn't full of roses. Nothing can be as hard as what he went through," she said.

"Now, I don't have his constitution for forgiving. I hope one day to acquire that. But I don't hold grudges either. When things happen, I just kind of want to move away from them for a while and hope that things will come back in a more positive light," she said.

Angelina Jolie Gets Permission To Shoot In Bosnia

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is out of trouble now. The actress' directorial debut 'Romeo and Juliette', parts of which were supposed to be shot at Bosnia, was been stalled for non-completion of legal documents.

However, the latest reports suggest that work on the film can begin as Angelina Jolie has received the much-needed permit and will now be able to film in Bosnia.

“Romeo and Juliette” tells the story of a Bosnian Muslim woman in love with a Serb with the Bosnian War as the backdrop of the movie. As the story progresses, the woman is shown being raped by her lover. The trouble for the Angelina Jolie starrer began when Bakira Hasecic, a rape victim during the War and the President of the Women Victims of War Association situated in Sarajevo lodged a complaint with the ministry of Bosnia speaking against the content of the film. It was Angelina Jolie herself, who took the responsibility of clearing all doubts and erasing the offense that anyone may have felt after watching her film.

A representative from the sets of “Romeo and Juliette” says that not only the rape but also the love story between the Bosnian and the Serb will be shown in the film, in fact it is the love that they share that ultimately leads to the condemnation that the man inflicts upon the woman. According to the latest reports, the ministry of Bosnia seems to have understood the storyline and have agreed to issue a working permit to Angelina Jolie. The filming will begin in late November.

Pattinson-Stewart planning a secret wedding

Are Twilight couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart planning to tie the knot in a secret ceremony? The media have always been rife about the relationship the duo share not only in the famous Twilight series but also off screen, after the couple were spotted sharing dinner at romantic getaways. Now, reports claim that the couple have decided to marry in a secret ceremony by the end of the year.

Both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have maintained a low profile on their relationship status, always projecting themselves as 'only good friends'. But now, it seems the couple have decided to admit that there is more to this friendship than what meets the eye. Now, news as startling as a secret marriage is sure to shock the media and their fans alike. Kristen and Robert, though want to take their commitment to the next level and that is why they have decided to tie the knot as soon as possible.

If reports are to be believed, the couple’s wedding
may be presided by a voodoo priestess from New Orleans. The couple have been trying to keep their relationship personal in spite of being under the constant glare of Hollywood cameras. And that is probably why they have decided to take their love for one another to the ultimate stage.

It has also reported that since the marriage will be concluded in a secret ceremony, the couple will not be seen wearing traditional wedding rings, but matching tattoos on their hips to pledge their love for each other.

Christina Aguilera splits from husband

According to reports by the US Weekly, singer Christina Aguilera has separated from her husband Jordan Bratman for ‘a few months’. They also have a son together – Max, who is 2 years old. They met for the first time 8 years ago. They dated for a while before deciding to tie the knot in 2005.

There were reports that the 29-year-old singer and the 33-year-old music executive Jordan Bratman have already been separated for a few months. The reason responsible for the separation is yet to be clearly known.

It does seem surprising that the couple decided to separate for a while, because some time ago, in an interview the singer had said that she was very happy in her marriage.

However neither Christina nor Jordan have firmly decided whether they want a divorce or not. According to sources, this is just a trial separation and they both want to see how things turn out eventually.

According to sources, “They were very much in love. But over the last six months, it became clear they were more like friends than husband and wife.”

The singer also tried to rekindle the romance in their marriage with a proposed vacation but things didn’t turn out the way that she expected.

Demi Moore to sell 2 19th c. paintings in NYC

Wednesday, October 13, 2010

Demi Moore is selling two 19th-century European paintings at auction, including a French work the actress says inspired her because of the artist's depiction of strong women.

William Bouguereau's "Frere et Soeur," an oil painting of a young woman tenderly holding her baby brother, could fetch up to $1.5 million at Sotheby's on Nov. 4.

It was painted in 1887 by the French artist whose work is enjoying renewed interest.

Moore's other painting, "Mere et Ses Enfants" by Belgian painter Alfred Stevens, is estimated to bring up to $200,000.

While she loves both paintings, Moore said, "with the renovation and new direction our home is taking, it is time for a change."

The actress acquired the works in 1995 at a Christie's auction, paying $178,500 for "Frere et Soeur" and $200,500 for the Stevens painting.

"I find Bouguereau to be particularly engaging for me personally and have chosen to hold on to a smaller piece to carry with me throughout the years," said the star known for her work in such films as "Ghost,""Indecent Proposal" and "A Few Good Men."

Moore, who has appeared nude on the cover of Vanity Fair while pregnant and is married to actor Ashton Kutcher, said she was particularly inspired by Bougeureau's depiction of women "with incredible strength."

Bouguereau was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1850, which enabled him to travel throughout Italy. His study of classical sculpture is evident in the pose the figure strikes and the drape of her skirt in the large work, which measures 6-feet by nearly 3-feet.

Stevens painted several versions of "Mere et Ses Enfants," including one commissioned by the Belgian government to pay tribute to sailors lost at sea and their families. The one in Moore's possession was painted in 1883 and shows a mother in a cream-colored ruffled skirt smiling at her infant while her older daughter stands and looks out to sea.

A Stevens' retrospective at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam last year described him as one of the most well-known artists in Paris in the second half of the 19th century.

The two paintings will be sold with other 19th century masterworks, including Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema's "The Finding of Moses." It was painted in 1902 when the British artist was in Egypt. It is being sold by a private collector but was once owned by "Candid Camera" creator Allen Funt, whose Alma-Tadema collection was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1973.

The brightly colored painting, depicting a festive procession with the baby Moses in a decorated basket, has a $3 million to $5 million pre-sale estimate.

Mischa Barton Furious Over Cotton Documentary

Mischa Barton regrets filming a documentary about her life with U.K. TV presenter Fearne Cotton - because the actress felt betrayed and "cried hereyes out" after watching the unflattering interview.

The O.C. star agreed to let cameras into her home for an episode of Cotton's series, Fearne And..., but she was appalled by the final cut, whichdepicts a frustrated Cotton waiting for hours outside the actress' apartment.

And the 24 year old wishes she never agreed to the project.

Barton tells Britain's OK! magazine, "I think that Fearne Cotton's showis a joke and she's a joke. I can't hear Fearne's name without seeing red, because it seems to me that she just wants to further her career by talking about young actresses and not in a particularly positive way.

Tuesday, October 12, 2010

It looks like Kim Kardashian is one of those who are always ready to risk comfort for fashion.Instead of wearing the standard issue bowling shoes, the brunette beauty donned a metallic skin-tight dress and five-inch stilettos over the weekend as she tried her hand at bowling at the opening of Foxwoods Resort Casino's bowling alley in Connecticut.

"I can't remember the last time I bowled, but now I'm kind of excited, Kardashian," the New York Daily News quoted Kardashian as telling The Hartford Courant at the event Saturday night.

Kardashian, 29, reportedly christened the "high roller" complex by throwing a gold-colored bowling ball down a VIP lane - only to have it land straight into the gutter.

Lindsay Lohan under cocaine dependence treatment

Actress Lindsay Lohan is reportedly being treated for cocaine addiction at the Betty Ford Clinic in Los Angeles. She is undergoing a rehab treatment programme as she has a dependency for the Class A drug.

"Lindsay's primary problem is cocaine. She went through a thorough assessment, and it was discovered that she has a high dependence for cocaine," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

Earlier, Lindsay had confessed to experimenting with drugs.

"At this point, Lindsay is at a critical point of her detoxification and recovery, and she is doing well," the source added.

Lindsay, 24, has her own treatment team in the facility which is comprised of a personal physician, nurse, psychologist, primary counsellor, case manager, spiritual care counsellor, family counsellor, dietician, fitness trainer and chemical dependency technician.

After failing two drug tests last month, Lindsay is now due in court Oct 22 for a probation hearing.

The actress, who served 13 days of a 90-day jail term behind bars in July, returned to prison following the failed tests, but ended up spending just a matter of hours behind bars after posting $300,000 bail. She then voluntarily checked into the Betty Ford Clinic.

Prom queen Dannii edges ahead of Cheryl in X Factor style wars

Prom queen Dannii edges ahead of Cheryl in X Factor style war

Round one saw Dannii Minogue as the clear winner over Cheryl Cole on Saturday night's live show.

But as the bell rang for the second round last night, it proved to be a close call between the the two judges, with the Australian pop star just nudging ahead in an outfit that gave her Geordie counterpart a run for her money.

Dannii looked younger than her 38 years in a very chic prom queen-style dress, her hair swept up and back from her face in a sexy swinging ponytail.

Cheryl, 27, however, had dressed to kill in a short, sexy and lacy green and grey dress which complimented her petite frame.

Both ladies wore towering heels, Dannii in black lace platforms and Cheryl in purple velvet Christian Louboutins.

It proved to be a close call in the fashion stakes between them but Dannii's seemed to be the robe du jour as she played it sexy but safe in her simple but very gorgeous prom dress.

Both looks were certainly a far cry from the outfits that they arrived at the X Factor studios in yesterday afternoon ahead of the elimination show.

Cheryl looked like a teenager with her fresh-faced, clear complexion totally make-up free with her hair swept back in a rough bun.

Not quite the glamourpuss that she walked onto the show as, Dannii wore minimal makeup apart from bright red lips as she arrived in a floral dress and heels.

For Saturday's first live show of the series, on which both ladies were reunited, Dannii happened to trounce Cheryl in the X Factor style wars.

The Australian beauty looked more of an English rose than Cheryl, who'd appeared to have overdosed on the fake tan to look a very seasonal pumpkin-like colour.

The Girls Aloud singer had also backcombed into what some viewers felt was an overly-severe quiff, though her off-the-shoulder LBD was deemed chic and understated.

Her rather safe style choice however somewhat flew in the face of her earlier statement that she wanted to 'be a bit edgier' this year.

Dannii meanwhile looked stunning with a fresh, pale complexion and minimal eye make-up to complement her figure-hugging lacy white dress with directional shoulders, but opted for dramatic bright red lipstick

Talking last month however, Dannii was convinced that Cheryl would trump her in the fashion stakes, as son Ethan was commanding all her time.

The Marks & Spencer model said: 'Last year at this time I had pretty much organised every outfit, but this time I am only just starting to get stuff together and we are only a couple of weeks away.'

She added: 'I am completely unorganised so I will be excited if I get out with a frock on the right way and I haven't got my shoes on my head.'

Dannii, 38, also said she hadn't put herself under any pressure to starve herself back to her pre-baby figure.

She claims to have gained 49lb while pregnant — but was looking exceptionally trim already last night behind the judges' desk.

She insists: ‘I definitely haven’t been exercising, I haven’t had the time or the energy.’

She mused: 'You can only do the best you can do and I have not been crazy about losing the baby weight because it is just important for me to concentrate on being a good mum right now.'

However, cynics have mused that Dannii's protestations may have been somewhat over-egged, considering she's just launched her own fashion range Project D and her last appearance on television before her X Factor return was ITV2's Dannii Minogue: Style Queen in August.

Cheryl had no such qualms about her food intake apparently last night, and tucked into some popcorn after the live show, as revealed in a photo posted up on Twitter by her PR.

The results on show last night meanwhile - which was watched live by former Spice Girl Mel B - are the result of up three hours with the hair and make-up team, with touch ups in ad breaks.

As previously reported by MailOnline, Cheryl is styled by Frank Strachan, known as the 'Ferrari of stylists', with her budget for hair and make-up said to be an astonishing £80,000 and clothes £70,000.

Dannii meanwhile was said to spend around £2,000 per live show for her wardrobe and relies on Australian designers to lend her clothes.

This year, fearing that it might be her last X Factor and determined to make an impact, it's said she's tripled her budget to £60,000.

As for the boys? It was a case of same-old, same-old, with both Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell playing safe with white shirts minus a tie and dark suits.

But Russell just kept on dancing. A party-goer tells Britain's News of the World, "Russell completely took over and was dancing away at the reception. The groom wasn't very happyabout the fact that the spotlight had been taken away from him and his new bride. "He went over to the DJ who was playing English tunes and asked him to change the music to more Asian music in a bid to get Russell to stop dancing.

Bonnie and Clyde’ director Arthur Penn dies at 88

Director Arthur Penn has died, a day after his 88th birthday. The legendary director’s daughter Mollu Penn confirmed that the legendary director, who was best known for making ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ and ‘Little Big Man’, died at his Manhattan home of congestive heart failure, reports the BBC.

Penn made his name directing Tony-award winning Broadway shows such as ‘The Miracle Worker’ and ‘All the Way Home’. He began to carve out a career in film in the 1960s with his work, which was inspired by the decade's political and social upheaval.

But it was the 1967 hit movie ‘Bonnie and Clyde’, based on true story of famed outlaws, which he will mostly be remembered for. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including best director and Estelle Parsons won the prize for best supporting actress. A memorial service has been planned for the filmmaker before the end of the year.

She says, "All good things have to come to an end. I will always love Victoria's Secret. It has been an absolutely amazing time."

Madonna prowls around with eye-popping cleavage on show in Dolce&Gabanna advert

Madonna prowls around with eye-popping cleavage on show in Dolce&Gabanna advert

Just in case anyone needed reminding, Madonna has once again set out to prove she's not letting age change her ways.

The 52-year-old has posed for yet another racy Dolce&Gabanna advert, this time while wearing an incredibly low-cut black body suit and hold-up stockings.

Accessorised with sunglasses, a crucifix and a red string Kabbalah bracelet, she prowls around an unmade bed with her cleavage threatening to spill out of her lingerie.

In another frame, she reclines on white sheets accompanied by a black and white cat.

Madonna struck up a friendship with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana while she was filming Dick Tracy in the early Nineties and they were invited to designer her costumes for The Girlie Show tour in 1993.

The Italian designer duo announced their new collaboration with Madonna last year, which came after she spent her birthday with the pair on-board this yacht in Italy last August.

They said at the time: 'To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true.'

Madonna has since launched a fashion label of her own with her teen daughter Lourdes called Material Girl.

Meanwhile, there are mounting rumours Madonna will be performing on the X Factor's first live broadcast on October 9.

The show is already renowned for drawing in some of the biggest names in the music business, with past performers including Beyonce, who dueted with 2008 winner Alexandra Burke on the programme.

A source told the Daily Mirror that she has verbally agreed to appear on the show, saying: 'Madonna would be perfect to kick-off the last stage of the competition.'
