Cat Deeley Misses British Fashion in LA!
Posted on September 7th, 2011 at 2:40 pm by
Brit presenter Cat Deeley was recently spotted shopping at a farmer’s market in Brentwood, California and, judging by her outfit, she looked more Californian than British. Deeley showed off her legs in a pair of denim short-shorts that she contrasted with a half-buttoned green top.
Although Deeley is blending into the California life-style smoothly, the host of So You Think You Can Dance recently revealed to The Guardian that one thing she misses about her home country is the fashion.
Deeley explained: “No one beats the British high street, and UK fashion designers such as Stella McCartney, Christopher Bailey and Matthew Williamson are in a league of their own.”
The celebrity’s next big opportunity to show off her love for British fashion will be at the upcoming Emmy Awards, where she will be in contention for the award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Programme for So You Think You Can Dance.
Speaking about what she will wear on the red carpet, Deeley said: “It’s definitely going to be something, but it’s not going to be dead-swan Bjork, Native American Cher or ballerina Lara Flynn Boyle, because I might never get nominated again. And if this is my only one time I don’t want to look back and go, “Oh, my God – what was I thinking?”
The blonde Brit added: “If I was nominated again I’d be like, “Hey, great. I’ve done the classic – now let’s really shake them up”. Then I’ll be fun. But until I get through this first one and then maybe if I get the second one, who knows? Hawaiian? Belly dancer? I don’t know!”
So You Think You Can Dance has become a hit in both America and in the UK, and the presenter is thrilled it has had such an impact. Regarding the programme, she said: “It’s about celebrating talent and passion and hard work. The American dream is alive and kicking.”
She declared: “You can be from any race, colour and creed. If you have a talent and you’re prepared to work hard, you can be anything you want to be.”
Cat appears to be living proof that the American dream is, as she says, alive and kicking. Keep living the dream Cat!
Jonathan Yeo is Porn Again in Beverly Hills!

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.
