Life’s A Drag For This Oscar-Nominated Star…
Posted on September 28th, 2009 at 2:37 am by
He’s all man! Or so I hear… But I think you’ll agree this star of stage screen looks as if he’s in touch with his feminine side judging by this picture. Well it sure had me guessing at when I first saw it!
The actor is totally unrecognizable, seen here in character for his new film project Rage, in which he plays a transsexual supermodel named Minx.
Though being a woman wasn’t easy for the heartthrob, apparently he found it hard get into costume, he tells PEOPLE, “On the first day, it took a few hours because I had to remove all my hair. I’m a bit of a coward. I didn’t go for the waxing. I just shaved it.”

Holmes Is Where The Yang Is!
Posted on September 25th, 2009 at 1:41 pm by Sean Borg
OK, So now I am an official member of the Katie Holmes fan club…
Last night I attended the launch party for Holmes & Yang where the 30-year-old actress along with her co-designer – celebrity stylist Jeanne Yang, presented their “premium designer” line that goes on sale exclusively at Maxfield in Los Angeles this fall.
Katie’s other half Tom Cruise’s was a no-show at the event due to work commitments, but that certainly didn’t dampen the night, giving Holmes a chance to shine alone.
I managed to grab a few minutes with the utterly charming actress who told me that she has always had a passion for fashion. She said, “Suri was my inspiration, she loves dressing up so I decided to launch this exciting venture with Jeanne Yang.”
Holmes & Yang dazzled Tinseltown’s fashionistas and the and the duo were congratulated by the likes of Nip Tuck’s Sanaa Lathan, singer Alanis Morissette and diamond designer Zeta Graff – who’s stunning jewelry also happens to be on sale exclusively at the high-end store.
Katie’s style evolution is largely thanks to Yang, and the pair are clearly taking their working relationship to the next level. Holmes told guests, “After watching Suri playing “dress-up” I approached Yang with the idea to launch a collection.”

Stam-Pete… Fears for Singers Safety At HMV Signing
Posted on September 22nd, 2009 at 6:11 am by
In the UK, Peter Andre has had to cancel one of his signings – because he’s too popular.
The Aussie singer told fans on his Twitter page that an appearance at HMV in Manchester had been called off because too many people were expected to show up fearing a stampede.
Pete, 36, wrote: “I was due to appear at HMV Manchester tomorrow 5pm but unfortunately HMV have cancelled due to the amount of people expected.”
But the star, whose divorce from Jordan will soon be finalised, reassured his fans that he would be visiting an Asda store in Horwich instead.
Last weekend a crowd of 9,000 at an album signing in Havant mobbed Pete.
Andre told close sources that he wants his kids, Junior and Princess, to join him on stage on his upcoming 26-day tour, which starts in February 2010.
‘View’ Do You Think You Are Posh?
Posted on September 15th, 2009 at 5:42 am by
After showing off her new collection at the opening of New York fashion week, Victoria Beckham got to do something I reckon she loves doing even more, which is showing herself off, on US chat show - The View.
On the show Vic told how she was sick of being considered the ‘funny’ one in her marriage to David Beckham.
“Everybody says “David’s so handsome and she’s so funny” – I’m sick of being the funny one,” she said.
The 35 year-old singer turned fashionista is really stepping up her game these days and won adulation for a ‘masterful execution’ with her third dress collection, once again the media was unanimous in its praise for her stunning creations.
At her fashion show earlier this week Victoria proudly told reporters, “This is my third collection, and I wanted to push myself, but I also wanted to be respectful of my customer,” she said. “I want her to know she can rely on me.”
She added, “I know I used to be in a pop group and I’m married to a footballer– a very lovely footballer. But I’m grateful that people are prepared to leave their preconceptions at the door and let the dresses speak for themselves. The sell-through has been amazing.”
Well it has to be said, Victoria is certainly making her mark in the world of fashion, um… finally.. and even my east coast spies who know her well, personally informed me that “Posh rocked it this year!”
So I think it’s only fair that I too start leaving my preconceptions of the former Spice Girl at the door, we all have our bad hair days don’t we Posh, so it’s white flags at dawn dear, I forgive you for your moodiness… Finally!

Susan Boyle’s New Single Wild Horses
Posted on September 14th, 2009 at 5:37 am by
I must admit, I am guilty of being a bit mean about Susan Boyle in the past, however I just listened to her forthcoming single and was really quite taken aback…
Granted this mushy ballad – a cover of the 1971 Rolling Stones album track Wild Horses might not be for everyone’s ears, but I was slightly touched when I heard it first thing this morning.
The singing sensation, dubbed ‘SuBo’ who was mobbed like a superstar on Saturday night when she jetted into Los Angeles, is all set to perform the song on America’s Got Talent this week and according to sources, it will be an absolute show-stopper.
One source said, “Her opening performance to promote her album will be in front of 20 million viewers – so the stakes could hardly be higher than that.” He added, “But her cover of Wild Horses is sensational and people will be blown away.”
I’m told Simon Cowell is a very happy man right now indeed!

Action Man Max Lands Sex and the City Sequel!
Posted on September 11th, 2009 at 4:57 pm by
Some thrilling news just reached ‘mes oreilles’… My pal Max Ryan has landed a role in the upcoming Sex and the City sequel.
Max will play a European architect named Rikard who catches the eye of Samantha played by Kim Cattrall.
I have known the 42-year-old English action-man for nearly a decade now and think whoever was handing out the luckily breaks this week couldn’t have given it to a nicer guy.
The sexy actor has certainly earned his spurs in Hollywood, after starring opposite Sean Connery in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen he moved to Tinseltown in 2001. Since then he has starred alongside fellow Brit-actor Jason Statham in Crank, Paul W.S. Anderson’s Death Race and more recently a horror flick called Thr3e, but Sex and the City is sure to be Max’s big-screen break!
I loved the first movie, which made around $400 million worldwide last year, Cattrall, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are all returning for the follow-up which is expected to hit theaters in the summer of 2010.
Well-done Maxi babes!
‘Pink Powered’ DeGeneres To Change The Face Of Idol?
Posted on September 10th, 2009 at 6:27 am by Sean Borg
The news that comedian Ellen DeGeneres is replacing Paula Abdul may not have pleased the majority of American Idol fans, however I think Simon Cowell made a pretty smart move if you ask me.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved Paula on Idol, those glassy eyes and slurred words of support to its contestants was most entertaining, but if the rumors were true then sadly too many egos clashed behind the scenes leaving Abdul to stupidly Twitter herself out of a deal, and a big one at that!
