Lisa Vanderpump Left Feeling Betrayed By Telly Freeloader Cedric Martinez!
Posted on February 2nd, 2011 at 8:11 am by Sean Borg
I’m never surprised when I hear a gay man has fallen out with his best girlfriend. If I had a dollar for every time that happen to me I’d be well on my way to buying a house like the one Lisa Vanderpump lives in!
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has revealed how she was left ‘devastated’ and feels ‘betrayed’ after falling out with the show’s ‘bit-part’ freeloader Cedric Martinez labeling him a lying, egotistical, narcissistic, vindictive, vile piece of— (fill in the blank)…
A tearful Lisa opened up on last night’s reunion episode of the show on Bravo, revealing: “He [Cedric] followed us here [to Los Angeles]…we ostensibly supported him,” She said:” We kept saying, it’s time to go. He’d been there over a year. But I did feel protective of him because he didn’t have anywhere else to go.” And it also turns out he was good for the show Lisa, come on let’s face it...
Cedric was doing so well on the hit series too, but now it seems his fifteen minutes of fame are well and truly up. The attractive 30 something lay-about had almost won the nation’s heart with his amazing and rather sad book-worthy delusions of how he was left to fend for himself after his mother ran off leaving him on the streets of Paris when just a boy. He had me convinced, and he certainly won over Lisa and Ken with his tall-tales that’s for sure!
The couple took in Martinez 15 years ago making him part of their family after he began working at their then London club, The Shadow Lounge. They claimed him as their own, giving him a five star lifestyle and lady luck shone in Cedric’s world for quite a while, seeing him living in a luxury mansion with glamorous and wealthy friends surrounding him. Talk about looking the gift horse in mouth… Ken now says he ‘hates’ Cedric and claims Martinez threatened his family and it’s all gone rather pear shaped for the French wannabe (I can just hear the violins, er, french-sty-le of course)…
Still Mr. Martinez isn’t totally alone, he regularly back and forth’s on Twitter with that other annoying Hollywood waste of space, Lady Victoria Hervey, who I hear is apparently quitting LA for New York soon. This is probably because the socialite has more or less burned every bridge she has left in this town, maybe Cedric should go with her they make the perfect pair…two peas in a pod if you ask me.
Just the other night Lady ‘Smarmy’ wrote Martinez: “@martinezcedric hello sexy, u out tonight?” The self-titled model actor and 7th Real housewife of Beverly Hills then replied: @Thebritishladyv “hi babe, no i am staying in tonight, chilling in front of the TV and stuff my face.” Poor Cedric, home alone stuffing his face, says it all really doesn’t it!
But even after all this drama I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Cedric reappears in the next season somehow, just like a scene out of a tacky daytime soap… Because at the end of the day it’s all about making good television and let’s face it the return of Cedric in Lisa and Ken’s lives would definitely make compelling reality telly, wouldn’t you agree Mr. Alex Baskin!? (Ahem, one of the show’s executive producers)…
And Cedric mustn’t ever forget, in Beverly Hills it’s who you know, and our lovely Lisa knows EVERYONE!
Jonathan Yeo is Porn Again in Beverly Hills!
Posted on July 9th, 2010 at 9:45 am by Sean Borg
Lazarides Gallery in Beverly Hills was the place to be last night when British aristocracy and A-list celebs gathered in honour to celebrate the first solo exhibition by top British artist Jonathan Yeo (pictured with me). The title might be a little off putting to some, but the works of Porn in the USA are genius!
Guests included Lord Freddie Windsor and Sophie Winkleman, fashion designer Julia Clancey, actors Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans, Christina Aguilera, and former Wild Child Emma Ridley.
I overheard Emma and Christina (pictured) chatting about pole dancing of all things. Ridley was persuading Aguilera to come and try out a class at her new studio Goddess Fitness and as Christina’s upcoming film is called Burlesque (also starring the mighty Cher) it could be right right up her street!
Yeo, is known for his skillfully oil-painted portraits of stars including, Nicole Kidman, Tony Blair and Dennis Hopper, as well as a controversial collage of George W. Bush made out of pornographic images, but this exhibition features some of his most provocative works to date.
There are portraits of Sarah Palin and Tiger Woods, and I won’t even tell you which body parts I saw popping out from the collage, but after the year Tiger’s had, in his case the material was highly appropriate!
Go see this fantastic showing between July 9th and August 8th at: Lazarides Gallery 320 North Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.
Matt’s How You Make an Entrance, Leona!
Posted on June 15th, 2010 at 8:34 am by Sean Borg
Calling all Gleeks! My super-talented neighbor Matthew Morrison managed to create a stir last night when he went to party at London hotspot Mahiki – even upstaging Leona Lewis.
The Glee star showed up in a trilby and scarf, not looking unlike style icon Jude Law (but in a Gleeky kind of way), and the paps went crazy. So despite a brilliant performance at the O2 Arena, Leona had her limelight stolen by Will Schuester.
Glee has been this year’s runaway TV success with fans on both sides of the pond loving the feelgood factor of singalong TV. I have been known to belt out a bit of Journey myself!
I wonder if Matt and Leona got chatting inside. I’d like to see her make a guest appearance on the show … Now wouldn’t that be fab, eh?!
UPDATE: Matt was Leona’s guest at the O2 Center in London last night, check out this video …
Amy’s New Boyf’ Reg Has an Edge!
Posted on June 1st, 2010 at 11:11 pm by Sean Borg
Finally, Amy Winehouse has dumped that druggie ex-hubby Blake Fielder-Civil and is now going out with a very sexy film director chappy…
His name is Reg Traviss, and I know his big brother Richard, er, very well indeed. Of course this means I now have to promise to be nice about Amy at all times… Ahem.
Winehouse’s dad Mitch told 3am.co.uk, “It’s early days but she’s smitten, they seemed very happy in each other’s company.”
He added, “She didn’t let go of his hand all night. Amy’s camp are delighted that she’s ditched the toe-rag and is seeing a nice fella instead.” Aww, how sweet…
And the good news is Reg is a totally clean living boy; so let’s hope this one succeeds, as it’ll be one way making sure Amy stays well away from the drugs!
Yay, I can almost hear the new album…
Derek’s Dancing with a Star!
Posted on May 30th, 2010 at 12:03 pm by Sean Borg
If you ask me, there is absolutely NO romance blossoming between Cheryl Cole and dancer Derek Hough, but it’s a good story! She files for divorce, and then Derek turns up to perform with Cheryl at the Black Eyed Peas finale at London’s O2 Center. Convenient or what?
Cole, soon to be Tweedy once again – even though it doesn’t quit have the same ring to it – is currently on tour, and her publicity machine is going into overdrive right now. One minute she’s the new X Factor US Judge, then she’s apparently getting off with Will.I.Am – and now Dancing with the Stars Del’ boy, who she was linked with a few months back during a flying visit to Los Angeles is back on the scene.
One pal told Dan Wooton: “Derek’s the complete opposite to Ashley. He’s very caring and supportive to Cheryl. They talk for hours and she feels very safe with him.
“She’s made it very clear she can’t rush straight into another serious relationship, but he’s very keen on her and is prepared to follow her around the world. She’s opened up to him about Ashley so he knows how vulnerable she is at the moment, which makes him want to be there for her even more.”
Well, whatever the story is, I’m sure it’s nothing more than some clever PR person planning on raising Cheryl’s profile here in the US, and it seems to be working. Perfect timing publicists!
I suspect we are going to be hearing a lot more about Cheryl Tweedy in America in the near future, and you can bet your bottom dollar that Derek will be nowhere in sight when she takes Tinseltown by storm!
Cat Deeley: “I Haven’t Got The X Factor”
Posted on May 10th, 2010 at 6:57 am by Sean Borg
Dear ol’ Cat Deeley answered the question on everybody’s lips on Saturday night, as she revealed she didn’t have a job (as yet) judging the X Factor when it starts here in America next year.
The stunning telly host arrived at an event in Hollywood to celebrate her good friend Matthew Williamson, who was being named ‘Designer Of The Year’, as part of BritWeek.
All sorts of rumors have been flying around since Simon Cowell announced he was quitting American Idol to launch X Factor in the US, with former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole apparently being one of Si’s favorites.
But singer Sinitta let slip recently that Cowell was considering a number of big names, including Mariah Carey. She said: “It’s amazing that so many people want to do it… it’s huge. Everybody is up for it, Mariah… ok I’m not saying anymore!”
But Cat certainly didn’t rule out the possibility of being part of the new show, she said: “You never know, providing I’m not chatting to someone else.” Oo-er, what could she mean by that?
Well, I think Cat DOES have the ‘X Factor ‘ and would make a great judge, but when you think that she’s up against the likes of Mariah, Gaga and even Madonna’s name has been whispered in my ear a few times, you can see why she might have her doubts…
However, Tinseltown has been kind to Deeley so far, so you NEVER know!
Other guests included, Jewelry designer Zeta Graff, Lord Frederick Windsor and Lady Sophia Windsor, actress Jacqueline Bisset… Oh, and me…
BritWeek is an annual celebration of British people and business’ contribution to the Californian economy.
Kylie Turns Up the Heat in LA
Posted on May 9th, 2010 at 8:04 am by Sean Borg
Sexy Kylie Minogue sent temperatures soaring yesterday as she strutted her stuff in downtown Los Angeles.
Surrounded by a bunch of topless male dancers, the pint-sized Aussie star proved she still had what it takes as she filmed scenes for her new video, All My Lovers, taken from her upcoming album Aphrodite.
It’s great to see the superstar back on track, and as always working with the best of them.
This time around the singer chose top director Joseph Khan to take on the task of bringing All My Lovers to life.
Khan’s past efforts include Britney Spears’ Toxic and Lady Gaga’s Lovegame; it’s thought that his talents might inject a fresh new feel into the Queen of comeback’s new image.
Wearing a black bra and knickers covered in a white cobweb-style tee, with matching white thigh high boots, Kylie still managed to bring all the attention to one of her most famous assets – her butt… Surprise, surprise!
Minogue’s ‘butt swinging’ certainly turned up the heat a few degrees more, I can tell you… And as if it wasn’t hot enough in LA right now. GO KYLIE!
Brand’s Plan… Revenge is Sweeter!
Posted on May 8th, 2010 at 6:41 am by Sean Borg
Funny guy Russell Brand is threatening to leak racy shots of fiancé Katy Perry, after she released a snap of him wearing a white lacey wedding gown on Twitter a few weeks back.
Now, the scruffy-faced star is thinking of ways to get even with the Hot ‘n’ Cold singer.
The pics of Perry – according to Brand are pretty HOT (‘n’ certainly not cold by the sounds of it).
He revealed to MTV: “I’m trying to think of a way to get revenge.”
“Let me tell you there are photos of her [Katy] on my phone that could go nuclear.” Ooh, Russell…
But Brand added: “A man has to be respectful…I’m so tempted but I feel I’m going to need my testicles for the future.”
Russell, they say ‘revenge is sweeter’, so come on mate, you could accidentally (on purpose) lose your phone down the back of some dodgy PR person’s car, I reckon you must know a few… and what with your future wife twittering away your privacy, that would be a pretty acceptable excuse, I’d say… Go on Russ, do it!
