admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:48:26 +0000

They say all great actresses have range, but Sandra Bullock may have taken the expression a little too seriously. On Saturday night, she accepted the Golden Raspberry, a.k.a, the Razzie, for Worst Actress (in All About Steve)—and on Sunday, she took home the Best Actress statuette for The Blind Side. Best or Worst, Sandra couldn’t help but look like a winner in this gorgeous Marchesa gown. (But I still wish you would have worn red, S!)

And adding to the long list of affairs, reports have said that porn star Veronica Siwik-Daniels was another one of Tiger Woods’ full time mistresses.

Also known as Joslyn James, sources claim that she provided “years of faithful service to [Woods] virulent sexual appetite.”

As previously reported by Gossip Center, Tiger’s Swedish mother-in-law was named to be the mystery woman rushed to the hospital from his Florida mansion.

Mother of Elin Nordegren, Barbro Holmberg, arrived at Health Central Hospital by Orlando due to stomach pain before 3 a.m., said hospital spokesman Dan Yates. “She is in stable condition and undergoing evaluation.”

Woods sent security guards to the hospital to protect 57 year old Holmberg. “She’s in a wing that helps protect her privacy,” added Yates. Holmberg was there visiting to help and support her daughter after reports attacked Woods with several affairs. Woods has since then apologized for “transgressions.” Meanwhile, Nordegren bought a home in Sweden

Treating herself to a personal pampering session, Jessica Alba was spotted out at Kinara Spa in West Hollywood on Tuesday (December 8).

After spending a little time inside the beauty spot, the “Sin City” starlet looked refreshed as she was led out to her awaiting SUV.

The sighting comes as Miss Alba gears up to shoot another new movie called “First Love, Then Marriage”.

Costarring Christopher Walken and Blythe Danner, the Dermot Mulroney directed comedy sees “a happy newlywed marriage counselor’s views on wedded bliss get thrown for a loop when she finds out her parents are getting divorced.”

Nicole Kidman: Fashion, Health and Sunday Rose

admin — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 03:08:02 +0000

Always looking fabulous, Nicole Kidman may love wearing high designers on the red carpets, but, while in front of the flashing cameras, she prefers something different.

“I collect vintage clothes,” she tells British SHE magazine in its December issue. “I’m obsessed with lace and 1940’s florals.”

The Australian cutie also spilled her passion for exercise, especially running. “It’s what my dad taught us – he’s a marathon runner,” she says.

“And he is also hoping that Sunday Rose, his granddaughter, gets his genetics. He’s 71 and goes on 10-mile runs. He takes Sunday hiking on his back for hours.”

And, as far as health, Kidman would rather focus on that then numbers on a scale. “As Keith’s a musician there are pitstops at Wendy’s” she admits. “But I’m six-foot tall, so it’s not weight that’s an issue for me, but things like cholesterol.”

Victoria and David Beckham: A Dinner Party for Posh

The Gossip Girls at (c) gossipgirls.com — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 05:17:00 +0000

Enjoying a swanky night on the town, Victoria and David Beckham were spotted arriving at the Connaught Hotel for a dinner in Posh’s honor in London on Tuesday (December 8).

Put on by Harper’s Bazaar magazine, the soccer stud followed closely behind his cleavage-baring wife as the likes of Gordon and Tana Ramsay made their way inside.

The festive occasion was held to honor Mrs Beckham for her stylish December cover issue.

In related news, Victoria recently put her celebrity life on hold to chaperone her sons’ field trip at a local airport for a lesson on transportation.

The 35-year-old fashion icon says that she appreciates being able to give back to her kids’ school and even makes time to walk them to and from school with her hubby.

In an interview with WWD, she says, “I’ve always been driven. I was mentally and physically bullied when I was at school and that gave me a very thick skin...I’ve always been a fighter.”

Meanwhile, her busy schedule does call upon her as she relaunches her fashion collection and makes an appearance on American Idol in January - which she wants to uphold Abdul’s kind criticism.

“I want to be nice to people. I know how it feels to be stood there and be judged and how it can feel when nerves get the better of you, and I don’t want to shatter anybody’s dream. But at the same time, there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of constructive criticism. It’s doing it nicely, because even those that are bad, they don’t know that they’re bad and who am I to shatter that?”

Knock-Down, Drag-Out Glamour At London’s Audrey Hepburn Sale Preview

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:59:15 +0000

When Kerry Taylor previewed her Audrey Hepburn auction in Paris, 2,000 people showed up, including Hubert de Givenchy, who’d designed most of the dresses on display. Taylor introduced a little crowd control for Monday’s London preview—you had to buy a £10 catalog before you got in the door—but if the turnout was substantially smaller, it was just as avid. No surprises there: Given Hepburn’s unimpeachable style icon status, who could resist the opportunity to own the black cloque silk dress she wore in Paris When It Sizzles, or the Chantilly lace cocktail dress from How to Steal a Million (minus, unfortunately, the lace mask that accompanied it in the film), or a ravishing organza evening gown, embroidered with blue floral sprays? With its estimate of £4,000-6,000, this last item seemed a snip, though Taylor optimistically insisted her conservative pricing would invariably be blown out of the water during Tuesday’s auction. It’s inevitable when you’re contemplating the wardrobe of a woman like Hepburn that a dozen poignant intimacies rear their tiny little heads. She was wearing the Elizabeth Arden cocktail dress—absolutely flawless after nearly 60 years—when she met her first husband, Mel Ferrer, at a party for her breakthrough film Roman Holiday in London in 1952. The ivory satin wedding dress, also from 1952, was designed by the Fontana sisters for what would have been her first wedding, to James (later Lord) Hanson. After she called it off, she instructed the Fontanas to pass the dress on to “someone who couldn’t ever afford a dress like mine, the most beautiful, poor Italian girl you can find.” A gown in printed summer crepe, which Hepburn may have bought when she was filming Breakfast at Tiffany’s, had tiny cigarette burns, a reminder of a lifelong bad habit. “Buy a dress like that and you become part of its story,” vintage guru Steven Philip of Rellik murmured. He was also taken by the other lots in Taylor’s auction, which include a collection of proto-supermodel Marie Helvin’s Oldfields, Ossies, Prices, and Alaïas from the eighties; a rare and precious handful of Bill Gibb’s spectacular knitwear from the seventies; and some evening dresses by the likes of Balenciaga and Paquin, which backed up Philip’s claim that what people are looking for in vintage now is proper knock-down, drag-out glamour. Eyeballing a luscious Madame Grès in turquoise chiffon, he said, “No one knows how to do it properly now, so you have to go back to the past.” www.kerrytaylorauctions.com.

On Our Radar: Yosi Samra Ballet Flats

admin — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:00:53 +0000

At this time of year, with a trip home on the horizon and long airport lines to contend with, I’m ready to leave behind my work shoes—super-high platforms, of course—and slip my feet into something a little more comfortable. (Not to mention something that slides off easily for airport security.) That’s why I love Yosi Samra’s super-lightweight flats. They come in a variety of colors to go with everything, and at only $50 a pair, you can splurge and get a couple. They’re great for gifting, too—if you can bear to part with them, that is. Yosi Samra ballet flats, $50, available at shop.yosisamra.com.

From Rags To Riches

admin — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:00:17 +0000

They may have earned their New York cred—and become, in the process, Yanks fans to boot—but Rag & Bone’s David Neville and Marcus Wainwright are English boys at heart. “There is a kind of anonymity being here that I really relish,” says Neville, who described his childhood as “classic English boarding school” at a dinner on native soil last night. “When we first landed in America, we wound up in the Midwest, where people would ask us to speak just so they could hear our accents. We certainly don’t get that here in London.”

The duo was in town to celebrate the line’s being picked up by Liberty of London, whose head buyer, Ed Burstell, called it an emblem of “downtown cool.” Guests like Poppy Delevingne and Liberty’s CEO, Geoffroy de la Bourdonnaye, listened intently as Neville described the odyssey of the brand, including an explanation of how they arrived at their name. ” ‘Rag and Bone’ basically means a peddler selling odds and ends,” says Neville, who often has to explain it in the U.S., where the expression isn’t much used. “We felt that pretty much described us in the beginning.”

No one would accuse them of being rag peddlers now. Toasted by Liberty with a sumptuous five-course dinner—complete with fine wines and liveried waiters—the boys were feeling flush, too. Guests left with the mother of all goody bags: a scented candle (lovely), a cashmere snood, and a Rag gift certificate for a whopping £500. If word of that generosity gets out, they won’t stay anonymous on this side of the Atlantic for long.

admin — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:37:00 +0000

Getting all fancied up for a night on the town, Katie Holmes was spotted going out to dinner at Cobblestone restaurant in New York City on Sunday night (November 8).

The “Mad Money” actress donned a stylish deep blue frock, heading past awaiting paparazzi as she geared up for the delectable dinner outing.

Quite the frequent flyer as of late, Katie just got back to the Big Apple after visiting Tom Cruise in Boston over the weekend.

As for the trip back to New York, Miss Holmes recently started work on a new movie called “The Romantics,” which is filing in Long Island.

Directed by Galt Niederhoffer, the romantic dramedy finds “seven close friends reuniting for the wedding of two of their friends. Problems arise because the bride and the maid of honor have had a long rivalry over the groom.”

Eva Mendes Busts Out at “Bad Lieutenant” Screening

Doing her best to boost interest in her upcoming movie, Eva Mendes attended a screening of “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” at the SVA Theater in New York City on Sunday evening (November 8).

Looking ever-so-sexy in a carefully unbuttoned white blouse paired with a black skirt and black heels, the 35-year-old actress posed for pictures as she mingled with guests including Susan Sarandon, Ice-T, Coco, Jennifer Missoni and Amy Landecker, among others.

Due out in select cities on November 20th, Eva’s new flick “follows the drug and gambling riddled detective Terence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage) as he investigates the killing of five Senegalese immigrants in post-Katrina New Orleans.”

Meanwhile, Eva was applauded by co-star Jennifer Coolidge for her high energy level during the filming process, as Miss Coolidge told press, “I was so exhausted after fighting with Eva because she’s really strong, and we had to fight over some drugs in a purse. She tired me out. ... She has more energy than I have.”
