Six-Time Grammy Winner Adele Graces Vogue’s March Cover!
Posted on February 13th, 2012 at 11:17 am by Nick Crew
Perhaps before remarking on singer Adele‘s body shape again, and branding her ‘too fat’, er, Mr. Karl Lagerfeld may want to look at next month’s edition of Vogue… And not just Karl, in fact, anyone who just happened to agree with his idiotic comments should go pick a copy and prepare to start eating their words!
The 23-year-old singer graces the March cover of the most popular fashion bible in the biz, proving that one certainly does not have to be a size zero anymore to be in Vogue… And if anyone’s ‘in vogue’ right now, it is Adele!
It’s been quite an amazing year for the Rolling in the Deep songstress, after selling over 17 million copies of her album 21, the world over, and to top that, only last weekend she scooped a whopping SIX Grammys at this year’s awards.
This equals the most Grammys won by a female artist in one night, a record she now holds with Beyonce…
With her hair blown away from her face to uncover her natural beauty, Adele proves that despite Lagerfeld’s remarks, she is confident with her body and is not self-conscious of size at all.
Never one to mince her words, Adele responded to Lagerfeld’s outspokenness by saying, “I’ve never wanted to look on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I’m very proud of that.”
She added, “I enjoy being me; I always have done. I’ve seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I just don’t want that in my life.”
Well-said Adele! Mr Lagerfeld has since apologized for his comments… However, one thing you cannot help but give praise upon is the London-born girl’s voice, it is simply incredible… It appears it doesn’t make the slightest bit of different what size she is, because we all love Adele…don’t we!
David Beckham Says “Three Close friends Are Enough!”
Posted on February 6th, 2012 at 11:24 am by Nick Crew
He is adored by millions of people the world over. He lives the lifestyle of a celebrity and has over £125 million in the bank, but David Beckham has revealed that putting the fame and the wealth aside, he only has three friends.
Can we get an AHHHHH for Becks?
The footballing superstar said that over the years his circle of ‘good friends’ has slowly got smaller and smaller and now is just down to a trio of ‘really good friends’.
In a recent interview with the U.S edition of Men’s Health magazine David said that these three friends along with his wife and their four children are enough to keep him content, “I’ve got my wife. I’ve got my four kids, I’ve got my parents, grandparents still and three really good friends. It’s all you need. I’d rather have three really good friends than 20 good friends.”
The 36-year-old kept the identities of the three friends throughout the interview hidden, which leaves us guessing exactly who they might be. His former Manchester United teammate, Gary Neville was his best man at his wedding. Could he be one?
Becks has also been spotted a number of times being chummy with Princes William and Harry. David and Victoria were guests at the Royal wedding last year. So, could the Princes be the other two?
David also is known to be on very good terms with Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise. The two live very close to one another in Los Angeles, and Tom is frequently spotted watching Becks playing for the LA Galaxy.
We could spend forever guessing, however my money is on Chef Gordon Ramsey being at least one of the other two…
Peaches Geldof’s First Look Baby Bump Pics!
Posted on January 16th, 2012 at 10:38 pm by Nick Crew
As mother-to-be, Peaches Geldof proudly showed off her baby bump for the first time since breaking the news about her pregnancy, she revealed she had yet more news to tell us… Not only is she expecting a boy but also the child is expected to be born on her late mother Paula Yates‘ birthday, April 24th.
Peaches was only 11-years-old when writer and broadcaster Yates died of a heroin overdose in September of 2000. Now 22, she said: “I feel like it’s a little wink from my mum, her way of sending a message to let me know that she’s watching over me and my baby.”
Peaches also added that her father, Sir Bob Geldof was ‘overwhelmed and emotional’ when she told him that she was pregnant. However, she did confess that she kept it a secret from him and everyone else for almost five months!
Speaking about her father’s reaction, the model and Showtime presenter told Hello magazine; “Oh my God, he was so happy, especially as I’m having a boy. The poor man’s been surrounded by women up till now.”
She also mentioned how Sir Bob had given fiancé Tom Cohen, the seal of approval, and said out of all her boyfriends, Tom was his favorite.
Always a good thing to be on your father-in-laws good side, especially if your father-in-law is Bob Geldof!
“He told us we must never break up; that we must make our child happy, get married and be together forever.” The world has been listening to Bob for decades, so I am sure Peaches and Tom will too, we wish the couple all the best!
Could It Be Wedding Bells For Jamie and Evan Rachel Wood?
Posted on January 10th, 2012 at 3:35 pm by Nick Crew
Jamie Bell and Evan Rachel Wood began dating around seven years ago, only to split up the following year in 2006.
After reuniting in 2011, it seems the 5-year break has done them the world of good…
The gossips mongers where going at it after the pair left a Hollywood nightclub earlier this week with Evan clearly displaying a sizable diamond ring on her wedding finger, sparking rumors that the young couple was engaged. Oo-er to that, I say!
The two young lovers met on the set of Green Day’s Wake Me Up When September Ends music video in 2005, but their romance was very much an on and off affair.
However, during their initial romance, Jamie and Evan even got tattoos together. Woods once said looking back on the couple’s time together, “We had matching tattoos because we knew our love would last forever. She then added, “Trouble is, it did not…things happened, we split. But I don’t regret the tattoo. It reminds me of a great, great period in my life.”
Now, if these rumors were to be true, it would seem the happy times are back in both of their lives.
Lets hope so, as they do look rather cute together… I would love to see Jamie and Evan finally tie the knot!
The Bulge is Back! David Beckham Strips Again… This Time For H&M
Posted on January 4th, 2012 at 3:15 pm by Nick Crew
Now ladies, (and er, and some gentlemen of course), the holidays are over and the January blues are probably starting to creep in…
Well, fear not because here is a little (well, not so little) something that will bring you a bit of excitement, in the shape of the one and only, Mr. David Beckham… um, bulging in his underwear…
I said you would get excited!
Beckham announced last July that he would be launching his own underwear range with retail fashion chain H&M, but even better than that; he would model them himself!
Finally, the wait is over, as images of David showing off his sexy-toned body, his extensive tattooed artwork and his neatly packaged golden-balls have arrived!
In the pictures, the father-of-four gives off a mean and moody look while posing in a pair of white trunks that leave little to the imagination. Not too dissimilar to David’s previous underwear campaign with Italian designer giants – Armani.
This time however, men will be pleased to know that they can now buy a pair of Becks’ briefs for an affordable price of £9.99 (that’s around $17 U.S).
Earlier this year the footballing legend spoke to WWD of his plans to branch out into the fashion world, stating that there is a “real market for good-looking, well-made men’s body wear.”
He was truly excited about his up and coming venture and continued to say, “I can’t wait to show people the collection – although I’m not sure my mum will be too happy seeing a billboard image of me in underwear again.”
Er, well, your mom might not be too happy Becks, but I reckon that half of the world’s population will be!
Hot Couple Alert! But Sexy Rosie Towers Over Hunky Jason!
Posted on December 28th, 2011 at 11:07 am by Nick Crew
I reckon Jason Statham could list many positives from having a girlfriend such as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley…
She is gorgeous for one; in fact, she is probably one of the sexiest women in showbiz… A Victoria’s Secret model with an acting career that received a massive boost in the shape of blockbuster movie, Transformers 3 earlier this year and she is 20-years younger than Jason… The list is endless!
Nevertheless, it seems when the lovely Rosie slips into a pair of high heels, the major disadvantages become very apparent, as the sexy blonde towers over her action man…
Photogs spotted the pair as they stepped out for a romantic Boxing Day lunch in Malibu, and Rosie was noticeably taller than her boyfriend.
The British couple stands roughly about the same height, both are 5’9, but with the added inches gained in those chic suede boots Rosie is wearing, it certainly made the difference.
However, if this were the only downside to dating stunning Rosie, then I would have to say that is not too much to complain about…
At a guess, I’d say Jason might well be saying the exact same thing, despite looking shorter, the 44-year-old press-shy hunk looked equally as hot as he strutted his stuff next to his lovely leggy lady…
Anyway, who in their right minds would care about a few extra inches when you have the gorgeous Rosie Huntington-Whiteley walking beside you, arm in arm at Christmas time!
Daniel Craig Says Skyfall Will be ‘the Best Bond Ever!’
Posted on December 21st, 2011 at 8:07 am by Nick Crew
James Bond is regarded as one of the best fictional characters in cinema history, and 2012 will see the release of its 23rd film, Skyfall.
There is always a lot of anticipation surrounding the release of any new Bond flick, but when its leading man Daniel Craig, says the next installment is BETTER than Casino Royale, then it certainly brings the film fanatics expectations to a whole new level.
Martin Campbell’s Casino Royale is one of the best James Bond movies of all time. Ask any Bond fan and it will top every one of their lists when it comes to being the greatest.
When released back in 2006, it was the highest grossing Bond film ever, making just under $600 million at the box office. It set the bar very high for future Bond films because not only was Bond back being cool and sexy again but also the makers took him back to his origins and made him a much darker character… So to say Craig’s statement was ‘bold’ is a bit of an understatement!
In a recent interview, the actor tells Empire magazine that he expects the Sam Mendes film to be ‘better!
He said, “Sam Mendes has lived with Bond his whole life, he grew up with Bond in the same way I did.”
He goes on to say; “We (Craig and Mendes) have the exact same reference points, we both like the same Bond movies, and we both like the same bits in the same Bond movies we like.”
Sounds like this pairing really hit it off, and if they can recreate their joint passions on the big screen then I reckon we are certainly in for a mouth-watering visual treat.
It’s just a shame we have to wait nearly a year for it. Oh well, good things come to those how wait!
X Factor’s Steve is Jonesing For a Bit of Publicity!
Posted on December 7th, 2011 at 1:39 pm by Nick Crew
It is no secret that in it’s first season, the X Factor U.S has had its difficulties.
Surprisingly, the talent show has failed to win over the American audience and in the beginning; the blame for this appeared to fall on its host, Steve Jones.
Well, the bosses needed to point the finger at somebody, didn’t they!
Therefore, the show’s PR people had to get their thinking caps on quick to find a way to boost the Welsh hunks popularity… So what do they do? They arrange for Jonsey to appear on the Ellen DeGeneres show to have him strip half naked in front of millions of viewers!
Er, Great idea…
In the most blatant display of tacky publicity seeking I’ve seen in a very long time, the 34-year-old was asked to remove his clothes by Ellen and don a skimpy black t-shirt, which promoted the X Factor on one side and the Ellen show on the other, to which our Steve was more than game to do!
As he stood topless showing off his macho muscles and hairy chest the studio audience could hardly contain their joy and literally screamed the roof off…
Could this be the start of Jonesy’s rise in popularity stateside? We hope so!
Before ‘baring all’, Steve was telling Ellen of the difficulties he faces being the host of the show and how his biggest problem is dealing with producers orders down his earpiece during the live shows, which has lead to people to criticize Steve for cutting off the judges and rushing them.
He revealed: “There’s about five people screaming, shut Paula up. Shut her up now. Move on. I’m going to have hearing damage in this ear by the end of series. I feel terrible because I feel on occasions I’m coming across as rude and abrupt and that’s really not me.”
Well Steve, if your explanation doesn’t make people understand you are just doing your job, then stripping off will surely win them over…
Hey, it worked on Halle Berry and Hayden Panettiere. Oh and Pamela Anderson… Er, the list goes on!
