SPICE 757

davie_k — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 11:03:06 -0700

We all know that the Spicey's have taste and class, but who would have guessed that they went and leased a Boeing 757. Perhaps Victoria or Mel B has been having a chin wag with air plane enthusiast John Travolta whilst in LA? Nicknaming the craft as "Spice Force One", well it certainly beats a double decker bus, as in there one and only (and aren't we grateful) movie. It'll have the reunion artwork emblazened on the side, so we're not likely to miss it, and include a creche and make-up parlour. Spice Force OneSounds like every TS member's dream come true and I'm sure Barbie of Mattel will be green with envy, but saying that it'd probably make most heads of state jealous too with a dining room, state-of-the-art bathrooms, a business centre, a media centre and sleeping quarters. Can you drool anymore? Having said that it's all neccesary since the five Spicesters, Mel B, Victoria, Geri, Mel C and Emma plus families, management, wardrobes, make-up artists and bodyguards will be aboard. Nevermind palace as one source described it, sounds more like an ark, do you think the Spicey's know something we don't? But that's not all, not only will the Spicey's entourage be on board, they'll have nannies and chef's to care and feed the huge party. Listen, it gets even more extraordinary, not only will there be "Spice Force One", but they'll also be "Spice Force Two & Three" to hold the dancers, remaining staff, stage hands and equipment. No hold your breathe, because this whole shbang is going to cost in between £7million and £10million. Has your jaw dropped yet? The good news is that the tour that kicks off on December 2 will see the girls visit Vancouver, San Jose, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Shanghai, Madrid, Beijing, London and Cape Town. So the only thing left for me to say is, "be there or be square".The Spice Girls

Peaches plays dress up

Who's she kidding? Like little miss Geldof could pull off Marilyn Monroe? The sex symbol, fashion icon goddess that has ruled the looks of the likes of Gwen Stefani and Scarlett Johannsson, to name but a few. Peaches does Marilyn for HelloScarlett JohannsonGwen Stefani Lucky Peaches however got to wear the original dresses of the late GREAT movie starlet, wearing iconic gowns from The Seven Year Itch and Gentlemen's Prefer Blondes. Luckier still the dress haven't been cleaned since the Goddess of S.A wore them 40 years ago. Peaches told Hello! magazine: "I've always admired Marilyn Monroe, and to be asked to model her original dresses is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There was always an air of mystery about her and even when she played her dumb blonde roles, she did it with a certain charisma that few can match." I suppose all blondes look up to the darling Marilyn Monroe. Perhaps I can't be too mean about it all. Marilyn Monroe

Eastenders took five awards too, whilst Emmerdale claimed two awards, Hollyoaks took one and The Bill took Best Drama award for the second year running. Another whoo-hoo for The Bill!! Inside Soap magazine editor Steven Murphy said: "This was one of the most hotly contested years for the Inside Soap Awards, and it's wonderful to see so many new names on the winners' list. The race for Best Soap was neck and neck until voting closed, which just proves what an outstanding year it's been in soapland." Well it's nice to know the writing is getting better on the British Soaps, and I'm personally riveted by the latest Coronation Street storylines, Hayley and her unrecognised son and David's ride of wickedness! Oh heavenly!

Grroar! Scary Spice is BACK

davie_k — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 03:12:16 -0700

She might have taken a few celebrity back roads over the past few years. But it looks like after her well-known dalliance and subsequent child with Eddie Murphy, her celebrity career is back on track and dancing Latino! Melanie B in her trademark Leopard skin print Yeah, she's hit American dance off show "Dancing with the Stars" with her usual feisty attitude, which we're glad to see back I hasten to add! She's been dancing a "Cha-cha-cha" with dance partner Maksim Chmerkowskiy. Mel B dancing Cha-cha-cha with Maksim Chmerkowskly The pair got 24 out of 30 points from judges including Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli. Len compliment her hip movements while Bruno called her a "feisty kitten". Can't you just hear the GRROAR? But it wasn't love at first sight between the dancing pair. At first side Mel B said: "I'm glad you're hard and in love with yourself and cocky." It wasn't until they'd started dancing and being daft in the dance studio that the ice was melted and Mel B explained later: "I saw Mak and he was a little bit rude and you know what, and then I realized it's just passion. I'm the same way. People get me confused with my straight talking as being offensive and rude." Adding: "Dancing with the Spice Girls was very different - it was a lot more step, dig, step, dig. If I messed up with the Spice Girls I'd turn round to Victoria [Beckham] or Geri [Halliwell] and we'd laugh. If you mess up on here you get points deducted and you get kicked off. Why am I doing this? It's important that I do well because the main competition for me is in my head, so I'll let myself down and I'll let my dance partner down." Competition might be in Mel B's head but Jane Seymour, another Brit and ex-bond girl is fulfilling a childhood dream by being on the show. Who said: "I must be completely insane. I am - I'm insane. I'm 56 - I'm the oldest woman to have ever done this show. Will it hinder me? Of course it will!" Well we'll just have to see who wins this battle of dancing feet.

Kiera the Duchess

davie_k — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 07:30:19 -0700

Kiera was looking bored on the set of her newest movie, "The Duchess". So perhaps this is the last period drama we will see the beautiful English rose in, on the other hand she could just be staying in character, as she plays Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire and an ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales.Kiera Knightley looking bored Whatever the cause, it seems that it didn't last too long once the cameras were turned on to the actress. Kiera co-stars with Ralph Fiennes as, in an oddly coincidental turn of events, an unhappy couple. Parallels have been drawn between Diana and her ancestor, as they both were involved with scandalous events. Georgiana was a socialite who maintained a literary salon, gambled away her money, and was involved in a menage-a-trois with her husband and his mistress - who was also Georgiana's best friend. Although Diana's life pales in comparison to her liberal ancestor, it's true that she too was involved in her fair share of public scandals which blackened her name to the public and media alike. Kiera told Allure all the juicy details about her pet hates for the red carpet and her insecurities. Hit the link to see what she said: http://popsugar.com/647582 it's nice to know that gorgeous mega stars have insecurities about there bodies too!

Trinny and Susannah give Lorraine the squeeze

Trinny gives Lorraine's boobs a squeeze You'd probably look like that too if fashionista guru Trinny unexpectedly squeezed your boobs in an effort to make a style point. It was morning television on ITV and Lorraine Kelly was talking to the fashionista duo about their latest and greatest gift to all womankind, a clothing line for Littlewoods Direct, a catalogue company, at affordable prizes. Hooray! The pair were wearing items from the collection, Trinny, in a bold leopard print cross over dress with fuschia pink blouse, a mammoth belt buckle and some killer wedges. Whereas Susannah, being the more voluptuous of the two, wore a LBD with a sweetheart neckline, another humongous belt buckle, this time a little less eye-catching than Trinny's and some peep toe heals.
Trinny and Susannah
The girls promise clothes to suit ALL figures, no "one size fits all" here including cashmere knitwear, party dresses, sequinned and faux fur shrugs, LBD's and midnight blue maxi dresses. The straight talking fashion guru's wouldn't make this line without a heap full of straight talking advice, Trinny told the web page Female First: "We've always wanted to do clothes for women where they feel good about their shape when they put them on. So some of them you can dress up and they make you feel very fashionable this season, like our leopard print dress, but they're really designed so that our black coat will give you a waist, our trousers will hide your saddle bags, our cashmere makes your tits look great." Typical Trinny, but isn't that why we love them?

Sting Out of the "Hundehaus"?

davie_k — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 04:32:13 -0700

That's the question on everyone's lips, after Sting's infamous trip to Germany! But it seems that Trudie has let him off with his indiscretions, after he was spotted coming out of a notorious German brothel in Hamburg earlier this month, as they attended London's Fashion For Relief charity show together. The pair came hand in hand to the charity eventTrudie and Sting, hand in hand and stayed very romantic and snuggly inside. Sting was obviously making up for something, with his continual exhibitions of public affection.Sting and Trudie
It's definitely in comparison with his behaviour in Hamburg. The 55 year old singer/songwriter had just performed in the city and swiftly jumped into his chauffeur driven silver SUV and headed off to Relax, the most luxurious of the German bordellos. The local innocently enough advertises as a strip club, although since prostitution is legal in Germany it's no wonder that the place has a reputation of having women for hire. Sting's publicist said, when asked about the incident: "Sting and his wife Trudie Styler have always been open about their interest in strip clubs. I do not know whether he went to this club. However I would not be surprised if he went. It is nothing he would be ashamed of." Well obviously Trudie wasn't to happy about it, no matter what his excuse and it certainly seems to me that romance was his only way of getting back in her good books.

Nigella Lawson Putting the Umph back into the hourglass

davie_k — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 05:22:51 -0700

Nigella Lawson in a blue velvet gown You've got to love the woman who knows how to flaunt what she's got, although it was a close call to not completely spilling out of this Vivienne Westwood number. The poster girl for the Rubenesque figure, that has been hailed through history as the most beautiful before Twiggy and the 60's ideals of thin took over.
Va va voom, Nigella Lawson
Nigella attended an event for 'The Golden Age of Couture: Paris and London 1947 - 1957' at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London that was organised by Alexandra Shulman the editor of British Vogue. Nigella returned to British screens with her not so healthy "fast food" in Nigella Express, aimed at busy working parents. Although her chat show hostess career was a bit of a flop her cooking programme, a Christmas special for BBC2 last year "Nigella's Christmas Kitchen" scored record ratings which is probably the reason why we are blessed with Nigella Express. What a cleavage Nigella! Honestly, could those extra ounces and the hourglass figure be any sexier! Go for it Nigella, show us what a real woman looks like!

Blue Peter Cat Name Scandal

davie_k — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 05:03:42 -0700

Okay, I know that today's British Celebrity stories are a little out there, but hey the Blue Peter animals are celebrities! Just like Paddington Bear is! This story all starts with a poll to name the newest animal arrival in the Blue Peter studio which was posted online. Apparently the chosen name by the poll wasn't deemed suitable for children, so the cat was called Socks instead.Socks, the Blue Peter Cat This isn't the first time the BBC have got into hot water, since earlier this year they were fined £50,000 after they got caught faking a phone-in contest on Blue Peter. This time around they've refused to comment on the subject of the cat name. The BBC news correspondent said: "There are some more examples [of malpractice] that are going to come out, minor ones I'm told What we won't hear are the exact details of what is happening to individuals. What the BBC does need to say is what it is doing in general to make sure these things don't happen again." In July, BBC Trust chairman Sir Michael Lyons said it would be "watching very carefully" to ensure the right sanctions were applied which is mostly likely the reason that Director general Mark Thompson was eager, Wednesday, to update the BBC's regulator on what he was doing to regain the viewers trust. All this fuss over a little pussycat!
