Kylie’s Triumphant Debut at Glastonbury Festival!
Posted on June 27th, 2010 at 7:58 am by
In 2005 Kylie Minogue was expected to perform for the first time at the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts in Somerset County, England; however, the Aussie singer unfortunately had to cancel her planned participation after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Five years later, a vibrant Minogue finally made a victorious debut at the music festival. When the beloved diva walked on stage the audience of over 100,000 people roared and cheered with support and excitement, more so for Minogue than for any other artist at the festival.
The international pop icon joined American glam rock-disco group Scissor Sisters on stage to perform their new song “Any Which Way.” Minogue’s performance even incorporated a dance routine. Other notable artists featured at the four-day music showcase include Shakira, Muse, The Gorillaz, Snoop Dogg, and Radiohead.
Minogue will be forging ahead with the release of her eleventh studio album, Aphrodite, which is set to drop worldwide in merely a few weeks. Also, Minogue just announced on BBC1′s Friday Night With Jonathan Ross that she will be going on tour in 2011.
Kylie has returned with a vengeance! Her perseverance, talent, and tenacity are truly impressive. Welcome back!
Brit Chicks in Coachella Recovery Zone!
Posted on April 19th, 2010 at 2:58 pm by
Brit chicks Catalina Guirado and fashion designer Julia Clancey had the right idea… After a weekend of parties and rubbing shoulders with the A-list at the Coachella Valley Music Festival, the celebrity darlings kept the glamour alive by showing how to recover after a rock ‘n’ roll weekend that consisted of booze ‘n’ bands.
Surrounded by paparazzi cameras while sun tanning poolside at an exclusive hotel spa in Palm Springs, former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here star, Catalina and Clancey, were joined by Hostel actress, Barbara Nedel (formally Nedeljakova).
As the trio showed off their sexy bods, they were overheard discussing their huge hangovers and which bands they enjoyed watching perform over the weekend. Guirado was obviously having a fab weekend with the girls, she was also celebrating her 36th birthday, while her guitarist husband, Matt Cheadle was away on tour on the East Coast, bringing truth to the saying ‘when the Matt’s away, the Cat will play!’
Clancey indeed partied till the bitter end, I saw her in the crowd watching the closing act The Gorillaz, whereas Catalina and Barbara were spotted drinking the night away in the VIP area, according to sources.
But Catalina’s hubby need not worry, our photogs spotted her heading back to the La Quinta Resort with her girlie gang – alone, every night…
Ahhh, such is married bliss, eh Catalina?!
Sister Act! Pixie Parties With Peaches at Coachella

Pixie Geldof clearly approves of her sister’s new Hollywood hotshot boyf’ Eli Roth…
I spotted Hostel director, Roth and his 21-year-old girlfriend Peaches Geldof hanging out at the Coachella Valley Music Festival as they watched closing act The Gorillaz performing on the main stage.
Peaches and Eli appear to be going strong still despite 16-year age gap between them.
Roth met Geldof in Los Angeles Oscars week; the pair went public after being photographed at the Vanity Fair party.
Many believed the relationship would have fizzled out by now but judging from yesterday’s display of smiles that was certainly not on the cards… Um, at least not yet!
Roth even showed support for scandal struck Peaches recently when images of her naked on a bed flooded the Internet; he insisted that everyone deserved to get a second chance.
How verrrry noble of you Mr. Roth!
Coachella: Music? Huh! Celeb Spotting’s Way More Fun…
Posted on April 17th, 2010 at 5:22 pm by Sean Borg
The A-List flocked to the Coachella Festival this weekend to watch performances by artists such as Beyoncé, Jay Z, The Gorillaz, The Machine and Muse.
Members of the Brit posse, Kelly Osbourne and fashion designer - Julia Clancey were spotted mingling in the crowds with stars such as Anne Hathaway, Kate Bosworth and Katy Perry, who was letting it all hang out in a revealing sexy black dress, surprisingly there was no sign of her fiancée Russell Brand, however…
On the main-stage show Coachella’s first urban music headliner, hip-hop ambassador Jay-Z performed effortlessly through his 90-minute set in which he was joined by Beyoncé who sang Mr Hudson’s song Forever Young while Jay Z rapped along, much to the crowds delight.
This year there seemed to be more stars in the audience than there were on stage, supermodel Agyness Deyn strutted around showing off her bizarre new shaved hairdo, as Kelly Osbourne sipped lemonade after Lemonade to cool down in the sweltering heat.
Showing not a care in the world over her recent tabloid troubles, the scandal struck daughter of Sir Bob – Peaches Geldof bopped around the festival like an excited twelve year-old with her film director boyfriend Eli Roth.
The three-day event began Friday, selling out ALL its 75,000 passes in advance. The festival’s popularity turned into a nightmare for music fans though, some were waiting up to three hours to simply get into the venue.
One of my favorites was actress Zooey Deschanel (pictured left) who performed with her band She & Him onstage; they played a cover version of Chuck Berry’s Roll Over Beethoven, sung by M Ward with Zooey on the piano.
Despite all the chaos due to the massive crowds, perhaps John Lydon said it best as he left the stage after performing with Public Image Limited. “For all of you who missed it, you missed a good f-ing evening. For those of you who didn’t – not bad, huh?”
I couldn’t have put it better myself Johnny boy…
I can’t speak for the rest of my crew, but I’m blooming exhausted already… roll-on tomorrow, I say!
