Amanda De Cadenet Soon to be Back on the Box with BFF Demi Moore!
Posted on October 19th, 2011 at 3:42 pm by SBGLA
Stunning British babe and renowned photographer, Amanda De Cadenet has always had friends in high places, so its not surprising to hear she is about to make the mother of all comebacks with her longtime BFF Demi Moore (you know, that superstar who’s been on the front pages a lot recently) in a new interview series for major U.S. cable network Lifetime TV.
The Conversation will be hosted by De Cadenet with Moore and De Cadenet both executive producing. The series features celebrity interviews that provide a refreshing and modern take on all topics universal to women.
During the eight one hour-long programs, De Cadenet will speak with her interview subjects about a wide variety of topics including sexuality, body image, career, finances, politics, relationships, and human rights. She will sit down with some of the world’s most famous women, I mean seriously, we’re talking MAJOR A-list… There will be a few lesser-known figures too, but Oprah and Barbara Walters might well be sweating a bit when this show hits our telly screens…
Amanda began her career at age of 16 as the host of the U.K. television shows, The Word and The Big Breakfast. After becoming one of England’s best-known personalities, she decided her true place was behind the camera (though personally I don’t agree, she is just too gorgeous!) and she began taking pictures. In 2005, she released her first book of photographs, Rare Birds, and De Cadenet is the youngest woman to ever shoot a Vogue magazine cover.
In a recent interview, De Cadenet said: “The Conversation came from the many questions I was asking the women in my own life, whilst trying to manage being a mother to three kids and wife to my husband, maintain a career and not lose myself in all of it.”
She added: “Every woman should have access to the information and solutions we talk about on this show. The Conversation will open the doors on the universal language of women and allow them to do that.”
I have to say, I am a big fan of Amanda’s and have always thought her a beauty and I reckon when she hits American TV screens (again) with this series, she’ll be another in a very long list of top British personalities taking on Tinseltown, and I love that!
GO MANDY!
Piers Morgan Keeps Up With The Kardashians!
Posted on January 25th, 2011 at 8:50 am by
So, Piers Morgan Tonight has only been on our screens for just over a week and it seems he already missed on his biggest story yet…that Oprah Winfrey had a secret half-sister.
Understandably, chat show queen Oprah was keeping schtum while being interviewed by America’s new British chat show ‘king’, as just days later she revealed the news of her half-sister Patricia to the world.
Clearly her aim was to drum up a bit of publicity for her new television network Own that launched earlier this month, in my opinion.
But fear not Morgan fans, the CNN host wasn’t too down hearted about his failed discovery for long, and found comfort in the form on the Kardashian sisters, Kim and Kourntney…
Now I couldn’t think of a better way to forget my troubles than to these two gorgeous girls sat on my lap.
Piers has already expressed his disappointment through his Twitter page by saying, “Damn and Blast, you’re all absolutely right, I should have asked @Oprah: “Got any secret half-sisters called Pat we don’t know about?”
Well Piers, I don’t think you have anything to worry about with the Kardashian sisters hiding their personal lives from you, I mean, we pretty much know everything there is to know about those girls already!
The Lythgoe ‘Family’ Producers Bring Panto To LA LA Land… “Oh Yes They Are!”
Posted on October 30th, 2010 at 9:15 am by
No sooner had Oprah reunited the Von Trapp family on American television earlier in the week, this picture winged its way across my desk and made me giggle… Perfect! I thought… The Lythgoe’s could be described as the Von Trapp family ‘producers’. Though I’m sure Nigel Lythgoe can still tap his toe and hum a tune, producing seems to be more his forte these days.
Step forward Nigel’s very talented son, Kris Lythgoe (pictured top center). Kris, already an accomplished producer himself, working on shows such as So You Think You Can Dance and so on, has been very clever in spotting a gap in the market here in the land showbiz.
Young Lythgoe has decided to educate the Americans in the art of Panto, er, that’s Pantomime to you folk who’ve never heard the word. And to help you along here’s the dictionary definition: (pan·to·mime) n. Performing Arts / Theatre) Brit informal short for pantomime [1]). Get it?
It so happens that Kris, together with his mother Bonnie (pictured top right) have taken on the task of bringing the very British ‘pan·to·mime’ to California’s sunny shores.
Their first production is Cinderella, starring a quality cast of actors such as Harry Potter star Freddie Stroma as Prince Charming. Stroma can be seen playing Cormac McLaggen in the upcoming Potter installment – The Half Blood Prince. Other players include Jerry Mathers from Leave it to Beaver, Broadway sensation Jennifer Leigh Warren as The Fairy Godmother, with newcomer Veronica Dunne in the title role.
Of course the family appear to have pulled in a few favors too, by getting Dancing With The Stars ‘dancer’ Mark Ballas to choreograph the whole thing, with Bonnie [Lythgoe] directing. What a mix!
They’ve even named the cross-dressing ‘ugly sisters’ after American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell. Kris told Page Six: “I’ve deliberately spelled the sisters’ names differently. I hope Simon and Ryan get the joke.”
The curtain goes up at the El Portal Theatre November 27th, and runs till December 19th. Tickets are selling fast, so I’d order them pronto as this show promises to be one big ‘camp’ affair! ”Oh yes it will!”

Kristin’s No Twi-Baby!
Posted on May 14th, 2010 at 1:32 pm by
The publicity push for Twilight: Eclipse has started and now even Oprah’s dying to know whether Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart are an item. The status of the two stars’ relationship is usually off-limits to journalists but Oprah’s, well, Oprah and so can ask what ever she wants!
The Big O asked the question on her show yesterday, and the pair tried to deflect the question.
Kristin looked uncomfortable but Robert took it all in his stride and joked with the chat show queen: “Kristen’s pregnant.”
The 20-year-old actress looked awkward and tried to get in on the joke, saying, “He really likes to shock people because he thinks it’s funny.”
She continued: “We’ve actually had this conversation…” before realising her mistake and adding: “He’s having the baby because I can’t. Imagine a baby coming out of this thing. That’s just not going to happen.” Errrr….did she just make a reference to her, ahem, bits?
Kristin seems pretty ill at ease in interview situations at the best of times but you’d have thought she’d be used to the Twilight circus by now. I’m guessing her ‘people’ have told her to keep birth references to a minimum from now on!
