Cat Deeley Misses British Fashion in LA!

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!

Cat is One Sexy Kitten!

Telly presenter Cat Deeley recently showed off her sexy side while attending a cocktail party at The Club at The Ivy in London thrown by posh jewelry company Links of London.

Deeley, an ambassador for the brand, looked stunning in a shimmering purple Pucci fishtail gown that was, of course, elegantly enhanced by Links of London accessories. Cat also showed some skin in the plunging backless dress as she mingled with party guests such as fashion designer Matthew Williamson (pictured.) Who let the sexy Cat out of the bag!?!?

The gorgeous Brit has made a name for herself as host of dance competition series So You Think You Can Dance in the U.S. and earlier this year began presenting the UK version of the show on BBC One.

This Cat’s career is getting hot!

Cat Deeley: “I Haven’t Got The X Factor”

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.
