Twilight Breaking Dawn wedding felt natural for Kristen Stewart

By Andrea Petrou on November 15th, 2011

Kristen Stewart’s wedding in ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ felt like a real ceremony.

The 21-year-old-actress attended the black carpet premiere of the penultimate film in the series in Los Angeles last night with her co-star and boyfriend Robert Pattinson, and admitted she imagined their wedding in the movie was the real thing.

Speaking of her character Bella Swan’s ceremony with Robert’s vampire alter-ego Edward Cullen, she said: “I cleared my mind, I did a pretty good job at forgetting. I didn’t want to remember it for any weird, neurotic, actor-y thoughts.

“I really wanted to remember an experience that felt right for the moment. I don’t know, it felt very natural. It felt like, kind of a real ceremony to me.”

Robert was also struck by the wedding scenes which made him realise exactly what a huge event it is for a girl.

He told E! News: “She looked like she was so terrified, she was so amazing and everyone was looking at her. You suddenly realise how nerve-wracking it is for women.”

While Robert, 25, and Kristen talked about their marriage, co-star Taylor Lautner, 19, was on the receiving end of a proposal from one of the many fans who had lined the streets – and had even camped outside the city’s Nokia Theatre for days to get a chance of meeting their idols.

When asked what his response to the sign – which read “Wife Me Taylor” – was, he said: “I signed it for her. I guess that was my answer.”

The trio spent a considerable amount of time signing autographs for fans and Robert admitted he was overwhelmed by how many people had turned out for the premiere.

He told MTV: “It’s like an alternate reality. My everyday life is so boring, and then you go to these things and everyone thinks something cool is happening.”

Rihanna gives clubbers sex advice

By Andrea Petrou on November 15th, 2011

Rihanna surprised clubbers at a London nightclub by giving out sex advice.

The S&M singer was partying at Whisky Mist in Mayfair after her concert at The 02 arena on Sunday  to celebrate her brother Rorrey’s 22nd birthday and after Rihanna led the revellers in a singsong, she took it upon herself to offer some wise words for the bedroom.

She said: “I left home at 16 and had to learn to look after myself. But now we’re back friends stronger than ever. Always use a condom.”

Generous Rihanna splashed out on 15 bottles of champagne and six bottles of vodka for her brother and other revellers and then allowed Rorrey to continue partying with his friends and a bevy of beauties at her suite at The Savoy hotel.

A source said: “Rihanna is the best big sister. She sorted for all these girls to accompany her brother back to her hotel, along with friends of his too. They had a great time and she treated them like kings.”

Although the 23-year-old Barbadian superstar provided her brother with a great time, she disappointed some fans last night when she arrived on stage at her concert at The 02 an hour late.

Fans took to twitter to complain with one user roroism writing ”When I met Beyonce she was everythin & more. @rihanna left me devasted & upset today. So unprofressional. I actually feel like Im guna cry. (sic)”

Lee Latchford Evans from recently reformed pop group Steps added: “Loving Rihanna tonight great performance & show. Shame she was 1hr late. Fans booing is not a good start. X (sic)”

We are proud to be part of the 12 Days of Christmas auction, and are happy that chosen items from our collections can be won by people who realise that even something simple like going online for a few moments and bidding on a red carpet dress or a pair of shoes can help look after the environment.”

Tamara Mellon quits Jimmy Choo

By Andrea Petrou on November 15th, 2011

Tamara Mellon has quit Jimmy Choo.

The entrepreneur – who founded the footwear and accessories brand in 1996 along with former cobbler Jimmy Choo – has stepped down as Chief Creative Officer of the company following its takeover and integration with private Italian luxury goods group Labelux.

The 44-year-old entrepreneur – who ceased to have any financial interest in the group after its $800 million acquisition in May – is set to be followed out of the company by current Chief Executive Joshua Schulman, who will complete a transition phase into 2012.

Labelux’s chief executive Reinhard Mieck is quoted as telling the Financial Times newspaper: “Jimmy Choo is an outstanding brand with enormous growth potential and the ability to deliver material growth synergies across our group.

“With a successful transition behind them, we respect their wish to move on to other challenges.”

Since Tamara and Jimmy set up the business it has grown from being a small company to a global brand, which sells handbags, scarves and fragrances, among other luxury items.

Earlier this year, Tamara – who was awarded an OBE in 2010 for her services to Britain’s fashion industry – explained she is “extremely proud” of the company’s heritage and put the success of the group down to its constant flow of “innovation and energy”.

She said: “Keeping innovation and energy flowing is key. I dreamed of creating the perfect luxury accessory house, one that captures the hearts of women around the world.

“Even now with everything that we have accomplished we are far from resting on our laurels, what excites me most is the thrill of the next project, the next idea.

“While I am enormously proud of our brand’s heritage, I know the best is yet to come.”

Miranda Kerr allows herself the occasional treat to eat

By Andrea Petrou on November 15th, 2011

Miranda Kerr refuses to deny herself anything.

The Victoria’s Secret model says she has always eaten healthily as she knows it’s very important for her body, but at the same time will allow herself the occasional treat.

The Australian beauty – who has a 10-month-old son, Flynn, with husband Orlando Bloom – said: “My grandparents had a vegetable patch and taught me a lot about growing food and eating organically. I eat super-healthily, lots of vegetables and fish, but that’s not just because I’m a model. It’s to give my body the fuel it needs. And I don’t deny myself anything. Life is about balance, and you have to be able to have some treats now and again – it’s good for you.”

As well as eating healthily, Miranda says she maintain her stunning figure by exercising regularly.

She told Britain’s Hello! Magazine: “I do a lot of yoga, pilates and strength training all year round. I also have a trainer who makes me focus on the butt area, with squats and butt-lifts with leg weights.”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s Christian Louboutin shoes make her “feel like a woman”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s Christian Louboutin shoes make her “feel like a woman”.

The Victoria’s Secret model thinks it is “really worth” saving up for a pair of the red-lacquered sole footwear because they will automatically make girls appear “very sexy”.

She said: “I feel they make you look very sexy, the cuts are beautiful; the lines, the colours the embellishments.

“I think he managed to capture something so special for women, every girl should be lucky enough to have them. If you can save up for a pair put away a dollar a week. It’s worth it girls. It is really worth it.”

The ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ actress – who topped both FHM’s Sexiest Women List and Maxim’s Hot 100 List earlier this year – has coped well since becoming famous and even manages to “avoid” the attention that comes from living a showbiz lifestyle when she needs to.

The 24-year-old stunner added to Fox411′s Pop Tarts: “I am very lucky in my life so I don’t wish for anything I don’t have, and I actually manage to get around just fine. I’m just fine.

“It’s not too much, I manage to avoid it when it’s necessary, but I’m very thankful for everything.”

Nicole Richie designing a fashion line for QVC

By Andrea Petrou on November 14th, 2011

Nicole Richie is designing a fashion line for QVC.

The 30-year-old designer will further expand her work with a “cute” range of clothing for the home shopping network, which will launch in February.

A source told Usmagazine.com: “The line is cute – it can be worn by teeny-tiny girls but also goes up to size XXXL. Nicole has a great fashion sense, and she’s very hands-on.”

The launch of the line will tie in with the premiere of reality TV show ‘Fashion Star’, on which Nicole – who has a line of womenswear called Winter Kate, an accessories line called House of Harlow 1960 and Nicole, her maternity collection – acts as a mentor for aspiring designers.

The reality TV star – who was recently named Influencer of the Year at Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards for House of Harlow 1960 – recently said she designs for women who are not “afraid to take risks” and enjoy having “fun” with their wardrobes.

Describing her typical customer, she said: “[She is] a multitasker, a woman who wears many hats, someone who isn’t afraid to take risks and have fun with fashion.”
