Curvy Hurley’s Still a Stunner at 45!

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 00:14:26 +0000

It feels like an age since Elizabeth Hurley has graced us all with her beauty, but it seems as though the 45 year-old stunner is back on form, and might I add she is looking more amazing than ever before, especially if these sexy snaps are anything to go by! Seriously, what is her secret? Curvy Hurley seems to get hotter as she gets older…

The actress and model was in New York last night presenting awards at the Fabulous at Every Age… A title that seems fitting for Hurley (but to make it a fair contest Hurley wasn’t participating).

However the event itself, which was in association with Harpers Bazaar magazine and cosmetics firm Estee Lauder, honors women of all ages for being the most ‘effortlessly chic and fabulous.’ Sounds like Liz…

But it’s not just at this one-off awards show that we’re getting a glimpse of Hurley, oh no! She is set to hit our screens once again, after being cast to guest star in the pilot of NBC’s Wonder Woman as evil arch villain Veronica Cale.

If you have already seen the shots of Adrianne Palicki in the new Wonder Woman outfit, then you’ll have to agree with me, we all know who will be stealing the limelight in that show…Yup, ‘our’ Liz!

Piers Morgan Officially Replacing Larry King on CNN!

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:06:42 +0000

The new King of CNN has been crowned!

After months of speculation, Cable News Network (CNN) has finally officially confirmed that Brit telly presenter Piers Morgan will host a new programme to replace flagship interview show Larry King Live, after Larry King himself retires in late December, 2010. Morgan recently described Mr. King’s job, which Morgan will take over, as “the greatest interview job in the world.”

The title of Morgan’s new series has not been confirmed, but the programme will commence in January and air Mondays through Fridays at 9 PM. The show will also reportedly air worldwide on CNN-International in over 200 countries.

Morgan will continue to judge talent competition America’s Got Talent on NBC and to host the ITV programme Piers Morgan’s Life Stories; however, his future as judge of Britain’s Got Talent is unclear.

To American audiences, Piers is primarily known as a talent show judge and reality TV star (from when he won Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice), so it will be interesting to see how Americans respond to him as a serious interview journalist. Congratulations and good luck Piers!

Katy’s Saturday Night Live Debut!

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 00:40:16 +0000

Katy Perry will be stopping by 30 Rockefeller Center in NYC later this month to make her debut as musical guest on the season premiere episode of the popular sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. Perry will be joined by host and former SNL cast member Amy Poehler, who currently stars in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation.

The Saturday Night Live premiere episode will mark the beginning of the show’s thirty-sixth year on television. The episode will be broadcast live on NBC on September 25.

It is probably safe to assume that Katy will sing at least one song from her new album Teenage Dream in an effort to promote it, but I wonder if Russell will make a cameo appearance as well. I have the feeling that, when it comes to Katy and Russell, anything can happen… especially when they are on camera live in front of millions of viewers.

Piers Morgan to Replace Larry King on CNN?!?!

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 14:47:49 +0000

Piers Morgan has reportedly signed a £5.5 million deal with US cable television news channel CNN to replace renowned talkshow host Larry King, who will be retiring in a few months. Apparently executives at CNN are fans of Piers Morgan’s Life Stories on ITV. US broadcast television network NBC, home of America’s Got Talent on which Morgan is a judge, is rumored to have agreed to share him with CNN. It is not clear whether Morgan will continue as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent.

First Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell captivated America with American Idol and now Piers will be replacing one of the highest profile talk shows in the United States – the Brits really are taking over American telly! Congratulations Piers!

Vinnie’s Mini Roughneck Role…

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 13:15:11 +0000

What a shocker! Roughneck hardman Vinnie Jones has landed a ‘little’ part on US telly playing, er… wait for it… a roughneck hardman.

Well what else did you expect!

I’m hear the ex-footballer stars in an upcoming episode of NBC’s Chuck in which viewers will see him appearing as a hitman who takes a beautiful cop hostage. Quality casting!

But seriously at least someone has given Jonesy a job, I was starting to think his career might be going down the pan after hearing he decided to take part in Celebrity Big Brother in the UK, where fellow contestants have already suspected him of stealing the corned beef (such dramz).

I am not saying Vin’s hard up for cash or anything, but one certainly wonders why on earth he agreed to take part in such low-rent TV especially after appearing in hit Hollywood movies such as X-Men 3.

Vinnie’s character in Chuck is described as devoid of all emotion apart from his love life.

A case of life imitating art perhaps, eh Vinnie?

Klass Flies The British Flag On US Telly (But The Ratings Were Flagging)

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:01:24 +0000

Myleene Klass made her US TV debut last night on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

But after appearing on the British version in 2006, thankfully this time she doesn’t have to endure any of the disgusting challenges herself.

Klass, along with Damien Fahey, who is best known for presenting MTV’s Total Request Live, played the Ant and Dec role as the show’s co-host, which is being filmed in the Costa Rican jungle…

I thought our Myleene looked fab in a £110 one-shoulder French Connection dress, but critics so far have been sharpening their claws over her hosting skills, as for show itself, it seems to have failed to impress audiences with its disappointing viewing figures.

HitFix.com writer Daniel Fienberg said: “Hosts Damien Fahey and Myleene Klass are meant to be the eyes and ears of the audience, which means they add extra sarcasm and mockery.” He added, ”They don’t add intelligence or a specific point-of-view to accompany said sarcasm and mockery.” Ouch!

Meanwhile on the show, celebs including Heidi and Spencer Pratt, Janice Dickinson and Stephen Baldwin are currently in the jungle and ‘Speidi’ are AWFUL. They’ve already threatened to leave twice with Spencer telling NBC producers, “We’re too rich and too famous to be sitting with these people in the jungle. This cast is devaluing our fame.”

Er, what fame Spencer, erm… Pratt!?

Check out Myleene’s intro:

A Klassy Bird’s About To Hit US Telly Screens

My oh Myleene, get a load of who’s about to hit US shores! Myleene Klass has bagged a plum role fronting the American version of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! And I think it couldn’t have happened to a nicer girl…

I missed catching up with My’ at the Cannes Film Festival where I heard yesterday she was rubbing shoulders with likes of A-listers such as Hilary Swank and Paris Hilton, oo-er!

Sara Nathan’s TV Biz column in the Sun today is reporting that ‘Klassy’ girl Myleene impressed US Telly chiefs at NBC so much with her CNN film show and that this gig is now a massive opportunity for her to become a big star in the US. It is also rumored the sexy jungle gal will be being paid $100,000 to co-host with an as-yet-unannounced male star.

NBC bought the US rights to the show which has already aired one series back in 2003. It was won by Jennifer Lopez’s ex Cris Judd.

But before you Brit readers of mine get your Marks and Sparks knickers in a twist, there’s no need to panic just yet. Her UK commitments like Ten Years Younger and M&S modelling are on hold for now but she’ll be back to honour them after her three weeks in the jungle, which start on June 1st.

Though as soon as she gets back in that white bikini I’m sure it won’t be long before they’re trying to get her back across the pond. Nice one My’ I look forward to seeing you in Tinseltown in the not too distant future!
