Marilyn Monroe voted cleavage queen

Marilyn Monroe voted cleavage queenMarilyn Monroe, even after 50 years of her death, beat actresses including Scarlett Johansson, Mad Men's Christina Hendricks and Sophia Loren to be crowned as the woman with the best bust of all time.

The actress - who appeared in 1950s comedies including 'Some Like It Hot' and 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' - was closely trailed in the cleavage league table by TV presenter and host of the show 'This Morning', Holly Willoughby, often lovingly nicknamed Holly Willoughbooby.

British actress and model Elizabeth Hurley came third, followed in fourth place by voluptuous Kelly Brook, who recently designed a New Look clothing line for women with more realistic figures.

Italian septuagenarian and screen Icon Sophia Loren came fifth on the list, with Vicky Christina Barcelona star Johansson, Hendricks and singer Beyonce placed sixth, seventh and eighth respectively.

The poll was collated by high street retailer Debenhams in wake of the realisation that over half of their female customers wear a bra size DD or higher.

The shop asked 1,000 customers, both male and female - all of whom were shopping in their fuller-bust lingerie range, Gorgeous - which famous female they thought had the best cleavage.

"If you've got it flaunt it, but reveal your assets appropriately," the Daily Mail quoted Sharon Webb, Head of Lingerie Buying and Design for Debenhams as saying.

"It's no surprise that Marilyn was voted number one; she clearly wore well fitting bras and never made a boob of herself; she knew how much decolletage to bear.

"For most women, there is nothing that says fashion disaster like a bra that doesn't fit properly and if you're blessed with a fuller chest and not so keen on the beach ball bust trend, then this can be a challenge," she said.

The top 10 stars with the best cleavage:
1. Marilyn Monroe
2. Holly Willoughbyv
3. Liz Hurley
4. Kelly Brook
5. Sofia Loren
6. Scarlett Johansson
7. Christina Hendricks
8. Beyonce Knowles
9. Kim Kardashian

Jessica Alba thinks Beyonce should sell baby pictures

Jessica Alba thinks Beyonce should sell baby picturesJessica Alba has advised Beyonce Knowles to sell the first pictures of newborn daughter Ivy Blue and put the money into a trust fund for the tot.

The stunning actress and her husband Cash Warren reportedly received $1.5 million from OK! magazine for the first images of their daughter, Honor, in 2008, and she thinks Beyonce and spouse Jay-Z should do the same with their new addition.

She told CNN's A.J. Hammer: "For our family, we just wanted to control the experience. We put the money that the picture made into a bank account for Honor to do whatever she wants to do with. It's her picture, it's her birth, and we didn't want it to be like a weird thing when we were walking out of the house for the first time."

"If there's a price tag on your child - which is so bizarre - people will go to crazy lengths. We wanted to avoid that hysteria."

Jessica - who welcomed second daughter, Haven, into the world last August - said she really enjoyed the photo shoot and would definitely recommend it.

She said: "We were friends with the photographer. It was just a nice day in the house. We'll have those beautiful pictures forever. You can give the money to charity and to your baby and that's it."

"But the biggest thing is having a healthy baby ... I'm sure Beyonce will make the best decision for her family."

Beyonce Knowles pays tribute to Etta JamesBeyonce Knowles feels ''fortunate'' to have met Etta James, who died earlier today (20.01.12).

Beyonce Knowles feels "fortunate" to have met Etta James.

The singer-and-actress portrayed the legendary singer in 2008 movie 'Cadillac Records' and says she always remember Etta fondly following her death earlier today (20.01.12).

She said in a statement: "Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. I am so fortunate to have met such a queen. Her musical contributions will last a lifetime.

"Playing Etta James taught me so much about myself, and singing her music inspired me to be a stronger artist. When she effortlessly opened her mouth, you could hear her pain and triumph. Her deeply emotional way of delivering a song told her story with no filter. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed."

Earlier today, Beyonce's former Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland also paid tribute to Etta, after she died at the age of 73 following a battle with leukaemia.

She tweeted: "CLASSIC. ONE OF A KIND. PURE SOUL. ETTA JAMES! Thank You for gracing us with your incredible talent & presence! (sic)"

Etta had been diagnosed with leukaemia in 2010, according to her long time friend and manager, Lupe De Leon, and died in hospital in Riverside, California.

Beyonce goes from pale to black for African mag shoot

Singer Beyonce, who recently was in the spotlight for sporting skin that was paler than usual, was photographed wearing black face make-up for an African inspired magazine shoot. Beyonce, 29, took inspiration from African culture and wore head wraps as well as tribal-style clothing and accessories for the shoot for French fashion magazine L’Officiel Paris’ 90th-anniversary issue.

L’Officiel has said in a statement that Beyonce was “paying homage to African queens” and as a “return to her African roots, as you can see on the picture, on which her face was voluntarily darkened”. “As for the artistic make-up, the inspiration came from several African rituals during which paint is used on the face,” the Daily Mail quoted the magazine as saying.

“We find the images beautiful and inspiring. The designs are all reflective of the African influence on fashion this season. Miss Knowles poses with royal allure. A queen, a goddess, Beyonce is a bombshell beauty with a divine voice,” it added.

Beyonce Knowles was virgin until marriage

Beyonce Knowles was virgin until marriageSinger Beyonce Knowles reveals she was a virgin until she met her husband Jay-Z.

"People would be surprised as to the lack of experiences I've had. When I was 12 or 13 I had my first boyfriend, and he was my boyfriend until I was 17. At that age, that was a long time. I've always been very loyal and a little more mature," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

"Though I was too young for it to really be a boyfriend - we didn't live together, we didn't, you know...That was my only experience with a guy, and since then I've only had one other boyfriend in my life - Jay."

Beyonce who married Jay-Z in 2008 has revealed in the past that her friendships with women have stopped her from getting tied up in unhealthy relationships with men.

"I think I am a feminist in a way. It's not something I consciously decided I was going to be; perhaps it's because I grew up in a singing group with other women, and that was so helpful to me. It kept me out of so much trouble and out of bad relationships," she said.

Islamic Groups Brand Beyonce's Tour 'insolent Sex Party'

Islamic Groups Brand Beyonce's Tour 'insolent Sex Party'Beyonce is facing another backlash from Islamic groups - conservative Muslims in Egypt fear her upcoming concert will threaten the country's "social peace and stability".

The Crazy In Love superstar is due to take her I Am... world tour to the mostly Muslim nation on Friday (06Nov09).

But strict Islamic groups have complained to the government for allowing the show to go ahead, branding it an "insolent sex party".

In a letter to authorities, a representative for opposition group Muslim Brotherhood writes, "Why are you encouraging this insolent sex party? You are accused of disturbing social peace and stability, encouraging viceand debauchery".

We should salute her instead of criticising her

The criticism mirrors similar outrage in Malaysia last month (Oct09), when Muslim leaders led protests against Beyonce's sexy on-stage antics.

The star subsequently scrapped her concert in the capital, Kuala Lumpur.

However, the Egyptian event organiser has dismissed the criticisms - insisting not all Muslims are offended by Beyonce's performances.

Ahmed Beltagi says, "We are Muslims too... this will not stop Egypt from hosting an award-winning, first class artist. We should salute her instead of criticising her".

Beyonce Threatened With Lawsuit

Beyonce Threatened With LawsuitBeyonce has been threatened with a $1 million (£666,600) lawsuit after pulling out of a New York nightclub show.

The Crazy In Love hitmaker was set to perform at the Big Apple's M2 on Saturday (20Jun09) after the establishment's owner Joey Morrissey agreed to pay her $200,000 (£133,300) for the gig.

But the pop princess suddenly axed the appearance on Wednesday (17Jun09), with her representatives claiming she was too busy preparing for her North American tour.

Beyonce's reps instead offered an hour-long personal appearance from the star at the club - but Morrissey claims he has already spent $100,000 preparing for the singer's show.

He tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, They said they were too busy with the launching of the tour and that they wouldn't have time to do the kickoff party.

"We sold tables for thousands of dollars for the show, and spent $100,000 renting a soundboard and other equipment, as per their stipulations. What good does her showing up for an hour do me?

They've been totally unwilling to agree to another show. Morrissey is now threatening to file suit against Beyonce over the cancellation, claiming the club has suffered a loss of reputation in addition to his lost cash.

He adds, We had an overwhelming response from our clubgoers, who were lining up to buy tickets and tables. This will come as a great disappointment to all of them. If Beyonce cancels and doesn't give us a new date, this hurts our credibility in nightlife.

Scientific software proves Monica Belluci has the perfect pout

Monica Belluci has the perfect poutOne of life’s big questions: who has the best lips, Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johannson?, has been finally answered with the help of scientific precision.

And the winner is. Italian actress and fashion model Monica Belluci who scored perfect marks for 'Lip Attractiveness'.

An American biometrics specialist has developed lip-reading software, which uses a scientific formula to rate lips on a 10-point attractiveness scale.

The Baileys Lip Attractiveness Software is the brainchild of 'Lipologist' Dr Kendra Schmid.

The formula analyses lip proportion, size, fullness, texture, colour and shape.

Although, both Jolie and Johansson scored high on the global top lips list, it was Belluci who took away the first spot.

Bellucci achieved a 10 for lips that are full, smooth and ideally proportioned so that the height of her lips is two-thirds the width.

Johannson scored second with 9.66, Halle Berry third with 9.61, Beyonce Knowles scored a 8.65, and Angelina Jolie rounded out the top 5 with 7.89.

"This is a world first in biometrics; using formulas to objectively score lips according to the characteristics of size, shape, texture and colour," News.com.au quoted Schmid, as saying.

The top five are:
1 Monica Belluci
2 Scarlett Johannson
3 Halle Berry
4 Beyonce Knowles
5 Angelina Jolie is the perfect pout

Johansson, Knowles have good figures: Hathaway

Hollywood actress Anne HathawayHollywood actress Anne Hathaway has raved about Scarlett Johansson and Beyonce Knowles for their curvy figures and praised the pair as good role models for youngsters.

“The Devil Wears Prada” star has recently been lambasted for being too skinny, although the 27-year-old is adamant she is a "normal shape", reported contactmusic.com.

Hathaway has hailed Johansson, Knowles, and fellow actress Reese Witherspoon for projecting healthy body images at a time when super-slim is often seen as an ideal.

"I don't think its just Hollywood that gives out that message. As a society we put out these unrealistic body images to young women, ” Hathaway said.

She added: "I'm a normal shape and Scarlett Johansson is not a skinny girl. Beyonce Knowles looks after herself and has a beautiful body. While, Reese Witherspoon looks great."
