Sean Borg Goes LA!

Tuning in to tinseltown's lighter shade of dark
  • Leona’s New Bff: Hairy Spice!

    Posted on March 13th, 2010 at 10:20 am by SBGLA! Staff   email

    Ex-pat Mel B showed up to the event in Vegas last night hand-in-hand with her new bff, X Factor winner, Leona Lewis. And while Mel looked stunning in a curve-hugging electric blue dress, her new hair do was more of a hair don’t!

    Looking more like singer Annabella Lwin (pictured below: right) from eighties band Bow Wow Wow, the former Spice Girl had shaved one half of her hair off completely to give her an undercut that left even bosom bud Leona looking quite bemused.

    Rihanna rocked a similar look a little while back, but somehow got away with it, maybe because her whole image is slightly more edgy and a little bit punk.

    Sorry Mel, I think you need to step away from issues of Dazed and Confused and get a new do, dear!

  • Matt Goss in Vegas: Life in the ‘Old’ Crooner Yet!

    Posted on March 13th, 2010 at 8:44 am by SBGLA! Staff   email

    Matt Goss kicked off his new show at Caesars Palace on Friday night with support from his A-List VIP friends, Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield & former Spice Girls singer Mel B, who were flown in especially from L.A to join Goss at his debut.

    The show is produced by Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin and Matt has been rehearsing with his nine-piece band, including a new trumpet player, at Cleopatra’s Barge; he also has his sexy Dirty Virgin dancers and two backup singers.

    I was quite surprised to see Matt’s chiseled face staring out at me on Vegas billboards, does this mean he might just make it America?

    Crowds turned up hours before to watch the wannabe crooner prepare for his opening night, even some of his die-hard fans from back in the eighties couldn’t resist catching up with the former boyband star. Some had flown in from as far as England and Germany.

    Matt said: “I think vocally I can hold my own pretty much. I’m just going to be myself and hopefully connect with the American public organically rather than being too contrived.”

    I’m told the locals are hailing Goss the ‘new Sinatra’ (er, steady on people), but Matt did manage to woo the audience proving that the ex-Bros singer still hasn’t lost his touch.

    One couldn’t help tapping ones toes to the tunes being belted out. However, I was rather hoping Gossy would burst into song with ‘When Will I Be Famous’, um… Again!

    Check out a clip of Matt’s performance below:

  • Life’s Peachy, eh Eli?

    Posted on March 12th, 2010 at 10:03 am by SBGLA! Staff   email

    Looks like Peaches Geldof’s got herself a new boyfriend – and one that makes a change from her usual skinny indie band boys.

    The ‘it’ girl daughter of Sir Bob has been spotting snogging Inglorious Basterds actor Eli Roth all over Los Angeles since her hookup with him at the Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday night.

    On Monday they were spotted kissing in Eli’s car (pictured) – with Peaches in the same dress from the night before – and yesterday they couldn’t go more than a few steps without stopping for a PDA. And Eli, 37, and Peaches, 20, both seemed fine that they were caught on camera.

    So to recap: Eli’s tall, handsome and loves the limelight as much as Peaches – looks like a match made in heaven to me!

  • The Thigh’s The Limit For Jen At London Prem!

    Posted on March 11th, 2010 at 11:10 pm by SBGLA! Staff   email

    Stick a fork in her – she’s done! Hot chick Jennifer Aniston stepped out in a tinfoil-inspired minidress at last night’s premiere of The Bounty Hunter in London.

    She paired the silver Valentino frock with Jimmy Choo heels and an Alexander McQueen tuxedo jacket and mancessory, co-star Gerard Butler.

    The pair cuddled up for the cameras and lavished praise on each other.

    Gerard, who I bumped into at the Chateau Marmont in LA last week said: “There’s nothing diva-ish about her, she’s very down to earth, very sure of herself and who she is, and I’m like a little kid, who doesn’t take myself too seriously.”We had a fun script and a great director, so we just had to dive in and it was a blast.”

    The lovely Jen responded by saying, “I love my Gerry. We just lucked out – director fantastic, Gerry fantastic, our crew, New York – you just can’t go wrong.”

    But despite rumours that they enjoyed an off-screen romance Gerard insists in this month’s Men’s Health that he’s not the womaniser people think he is. He said: “I get laid less now that I used to, because I’m way more paranoid now. Look at f***ing Tiger Woods.”

    Er, I can understand you being worried about kiss ‘n’ tell stories Gerry, but it’s a slightly different situation. You’re single Gerard so you can s**g who you like.. And don’t forget, you were chasing every bit of skirt you could at parties thrown on Oscars week… I saw you dude! Does the name Sheila Shah ring any bells?!

  • Leona’s Got a Stallion in Her Life!

    Posted on March 11th, 2010 at 8:56 am by SBGLA! Staff   email

    She’s got a rep as the nice girl of pop but it seems that Leona Lewis is teensy bit rebellious.

    She has unveiled a new tattoo that runs from her neck to her back, but unlike Posh or Cheryl who’ve inked the names of their dubious hubbies on their bodies, Leona’s permanent tribute is to someone who’ll never do the dirty.

    It reads: “Their beauty captures every eye, a gift from God for all mankind, they lend us wings so we may fly, to ride a horse is to ride the sky” and proclaims her love for fave animal, the horse!

    The sexy X-Factor winner, who recently slimmed down from a size 14 to a size 10 after undergoing a detox, told a close friend that horse riding was a great way to help her forget her worries and chill out.

    Yesterday [IS THIS WHEN THE PIC WAS TAKEN?] the 24-year-old went for a ride in Glendale, California, and seemed to be having a relaxing afternoon away from stressful showbiz life.

    Looking good Leona, and remember, that other quite good singer, Madonna, also loves to ride. Maybe you can form an all-star polo team!

  • X-Rated Jordan… So What’s New?

    Posted on March 10th, 2010 at 5:35 pm by SBGLA! Staff   email

    Jordan aka Katie Price must be feeling a little bit ignored by the American photogs and what better way to remedy the rejection than with a bit of retail therapy… Er, at a seedy sex shop!

    Predictable as ever, the booby celeb is always one for looking for that shock photo-op to grab the pouncing paps attention. So what does she do? Jord’ dragged her new husband cage-fighter Alex Reid around some of LA’s naughtiest X-rated stores.

    The couple were pictured emerging from one store looking like they hadn’t a care in the world as they sauntered past a wall lined with crude cards and top shelf porn magazines.

    Katie also had the cheek to tell paps and reporters at the scene: ‘She sees no reason why she can’t be just as big as the Beckhams have been, as she’s going for a different market.’

    The former glamour girl is also rumored to have banned her husband from doing a nude shoot for British magazine Attitude, as she doesn’t want him to be as popular as her in the gay community.

    Well if you ask me, with his army of loyal Big Brother fans on side, and that scrumptious six-pac constantly on show, I reckon Alex might have already upstaged Pricey in the pink-popularity stakes!

  • Gerry & Jen: Are they? Aren’t they? Do I even care anymore?

    Posted on March 10th, 2010 at 2:30 pm by SBGLA! Staff   email

    Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston did a steamy 27-page shoot for W magazine this month to promote their new film, The Bounty Hunter, which will no doubt get the tabloids chattering about the nature of their relationship. Again.

    The pics show Gerry dressed as a policeman with the pair all over each other in the desert and covered in California dust.

    The photographer Steven Klein described the concept as the “searing heat of the California desert where damsels aren’t always in distress and lawmen sometimes break the rules.”

    Yawn.

    I like both Gez and Jen but it’s funny how Jennifer always has a love interest around the time she has a film to promote (just saying). Still, they both look hot, and that’s the main thing!

  • Mezhgan’s got the X-Factor and Simon IS engaged!

    Posted on March 10th, 2010 at 10:53 am by SBGLA! Staff   email

    Simon Cowell puckered up with is-she, isn’t-she fiance Mezhgan Hussainy on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show last night and looked almost loved up.

    The usually unflappable American Idol and X-Factor judge actually went red when Jay asked him about the new lady in his life and if the engagement rumours were true. Most unlike smartarsed Simon’s usual cool and composed responses.

    He stumbled: ‘Are they true? Well, I do have somebody in my life now, Jay, yes.’

    Simon then recovered enough to tell Jay he wanted a wedding ’sometime in the next ten years.’

    I saw my pal Simon at Elton’s Oscar party on Sunday and he was glued to Mezhgan’s side. On other years he’s been running around and having fun with pals like Paul McKenna but this year he was happy to play the dutiful boyf to his foxy fiance. She’s obviously got to him!

    Mezhgan then appeared on the Leno set and the couple shared a very awkward TV kiss. One tip Si: you might want to shut your eyes next time. It looks like you’re too busy thinking about Idol’s top twelve to get into it.
