Chubby Faced Pics Of Russell ‘Brand Re-Viewed’ on US Telly!
Posted on March 9th, 2011 at 5:14 am by Nick Crew
We’ve got a few embarrassing childhood pictures at home and for the majority of people this is were they’ll stay, but unfortunately for Russell Brand, these kind of pictures are always likely to pop up in the middle of a TV interview.
The British comedian was reminded of his “chubby” teenage days while chatting to the panel on The View. It was a vast difference from the smartly dressed Brand that sat on the sofa in a plum colored suit with skinny-leg trousers… Now I understand why he loves wearing skinny-leg trousers. Making up for all them years when he couldn’t fit in them.
“I was a chubby lad’ the 35 year old stated as the image was flashed up on the screens.” He added, “That’s the same nose…it’s basically me. I had a tricky time at school.”…A tricky time deciding how many pies to have for school dinners, by the look of it, a Russell?
Russell was on the show promoting his new film Arthur, in which he stars with Dame Helen Mirren, and it wasn’t long before Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg and the rest of the panel moved the conversation onto married life with Katy Perry. When asked to describe what it’s like kissing his gorgeous wife, Russell replied, “A conduit to paradise…A tunnel to another world. They [her lips] are redemption! Salvation! Glory! Poetry!”
Awww, isn’t love grand. Our Russell always has such a beautiful way with words…Now where can I get a pair of the plum trousers?
Boyle’s Blunder Live on US Telly!

Susan Boyle hit an embarrassing note in her career earlier today when she had to stop singing half way through performing a Christmas carol on American daytime show The View.
Looking like a rabbit caught in the headlights, Boyle cut short her performance of O Holy Night as she began to cough, she then apologized before asking producers: “Can we do that again?” clearly not realizing the show was going out live.
“Oh my God, beautiful,” said host Sherri Shepherd, as she rushed to Scottish star’s side with co-host Whoopi Goldberg, partially sparing the singer’s blushes.
But after confessing to having “a frog in my throat” the audience praised Boyle’s vocals with rapturous applaud.
All’s well that ends well, at least no one can ever accuse Susan Boyle of miming… Good on the little lass!
Actress Rachel Weisz and Director Darren Aronofsky Call It Quits…
Posted on November 9th, 2010 at 12:47 pm by
British actress Rachel Weisz, and top director Darren Aronofsky, have called it quits after nine years together.
The star was spotted putting on a brave face earlier today while out and about in New York, the first time since announcing the split.
TMZ.com quoting unnamed sources, said earlier today that Weisz has been ‘linked’ to James Bond actor Daniel Craig, her co-star in the upcoming thriller Dream House for months. This could not be confirmed. However, sources have also told SBGLA that Rachel is said to be ‘smitten’ with Craig.
Reps for Aronofsky and Weisz have divulged that the two have been separated for quite a few months and that not only will they seek joint custody of their four-year-old son Henry Chance, but also committed to raising him together in New York.
Back in January, Rachel who won a ‘best supporting actress’ Oscar for the 2005 movie The Constant Gardener, told the ladies of The View that she felt it was time to tie the knot. She said: “It’s just a feeling, I know it’s a funny thing.”
During a Redbook interview in 2009, Rachel confessed,” Darren and I are completely committed to ‘until death do us part,’ although we haven’t made it official with the paperwork yet…
It’s not for any political reason or that we’re waiting for this or for that, but maybe one day we will have an official ceremony. I don’t think balance is something you get from someone else; it’s something women have to find from within.”
She added: “For me, finding balance is still a work in progress. Darren provides the foundation, but I’m still figuring out my own juggling act.”
Sadly now, this quiet and professional relationship has hit the skids, it seems… Hopefully little Henry isn’t the one caught up in middle of the split-drama! We wish Rach’ and Dazza the best of luck however, on all fronts.

Sharon Osbourne to Co-host New US Show!
Posted on July 22nd, 2010 at 10:08 am by
Sharon Osbourne is following in the footsteps of her fellow America’s Got Talent judge, Piers Morgan, by taking on hosting duties of a major American network television talk show. The former X Factor judge will join five other women to co-host a new CBS daily daytime programme meant to replace the soap opera As The World Turns, which is about to finish a 54-year run.
The matriarch of the Osbourne clan will host alongside Sara Gilbert, who played Darlene on the American comedy series Roseanne; Holly Robinson Peete, most recently seen on Celebrity Apprentice; Marissa Jaret Winokur, Broadway actress; Leah Remini, from The King of Queens, and Julie Chen, host of the American version of Big Brother. The name and launch date of the new show have not yet been announced.
One can’t help but consider this new talk show to be CBS’s copy of rival network ABC’s successful The View, but I’m guessing people would rather watch Shazza over Barbara Walters any day! Score one more for the Brits taking over American telly!
‘View’ Do You Think You Are Posh?

After showing off her new collection at the opening of New York fashion week, Victoria Beckham got to do something I reckon she loves doing even more, which is showing herself off, on US chat show - The View.
On the show Vic told how she was sick of being considered the ‘funny’ one in her marriage to David Beckham.
“Everybody says “David’s so handsome and she’s so funny” – I’m sick of being the funny one,” she said.
The 35 year-old singer turned fashionista is really stepping up her game these days and won adulation for a ‘masterful execution’ with her third dress collection, once again the media was unanimous in its praise for her stunning creations.
At her fashion show earlier this week Victoria proudly told reporters, “This is my third collection, and I wanted to push myself, but I also wanted to be respectful of my customer,” she said. “I want her to know she can rely on me.”
She added, “I know I used to be in a pop group and I’m married to a footballer– a very lovely footballer. But I’m grateful that people are prepared to leave their preconceptions at the door and let the dresses speak for themselves. The sell-through has been amazing.”
Well it has to be said, Victoria is certainly making her mark in the world of fashion, um… finally.. and even my east coast spies who know her well, personally informed me that “Posh rocked it this year!”
So I think it’s only fair that I too start leaving my preconceptions of the former Spice Girl at the door, we all have our bad hair days don’t we Posh, so it’s white flags at dawn dear, I forgive you for your moodiness… Finally!
