The new faces of Mac’s Viva Glam lippy: Nicki Minaj and, er, Ricky Martin

Nicki Minaj has already previously modelled for Mac

Here’s a slightly unexpected piece of news: Ricky Martin has been chosen to one of the faces of Mac’s new campaign for their Viva Glam lipstick alongside Mac-aholic singer Nicki Minaj. Now, Nicki is a choice that we understand, given her ghetto-fab love for bold colour and makeup, but Ricky? Will he have to model the lipstick himself? Does he like wearing lipstick? We’re dying to see the photo campaign already.

Make-up lover or not, Ricky is going to have to work hard to keep up with Miss Minaj, who’s already been the face of the brand’s “Pink 4 Friday” lipstick. Luckily he’ll be in good hands, as legendary fashion photographer David La Chapelle is going to shoot the campaign. And I repeat – we cannot wait to see the results.

All sales will be going to a good cause, as the proceeds made will be donated to the cause of fighting AIDs and HIV.

Ricky and Nicki had better be getting ready to pucker up for the cameras – we’ve got a feeling this is going to be one hell of a photoshoot.

Lindsay Lohan is being sued over an unpaid bill

Lindsay Lohan is being sued over an unpaid bill.

The troubled actress is the subject of a small claims court lawsuit from Stephen Clark, who claims he sold and installed audio and video equipment, including remote programming, in her Californian home last month but alleges the ‘Machete’ star failed to pay her bill.

Stephen – who is also suing for missed work – is seeking $1,180 from the actress, reports gossip website TMZ.

The case is the latest in a string of problems for Lindsay, who had the equipment installed while she was under house arrest.

The ‘Mean Girls’ actress was freed on 29th June after serving 35 days of house arrest for the theft of a necklace from an upmarket boutique and for violating the terms of probation set for her 2007 conviction for driving under the influence (DUI).

Last week, Lindsay – who has also started 480 hours of community service at the Los Angeles Downtown Women’s centre as part of her sentence – appeared in court for a progress hearing, where she was ordered to find an individual therapist.

However, during the hearing, the 25-year-old actress’ lawyer insisted she hadn’t been able to have the mandatory psychological treatment due to “financial issues”.

Katie Price expects to have “12″ husbands.

The 33-year-old TV star has been married twice – first to Peter Andre, who she has two children, Junior, six, and Princess Tiaamii, four, with and secondly to Alex Reid, who she divorced after a year of marriage in February 2011 – believes there are more spouses in her future, as well as more children and a second shoot for Playboy magazine.

Katie – who first appeared naked in the pages of Hugh Hefner’s magazine in 2002 – said: “I’ve got another Playboy shoot in me. I still love getting my kit off because it’s what I do best and it’s got me where I am today. And I’ve also got plans for a film and a West End show.

“I’ll also have more kids, more horses and probably more husbands, about 12, I expect!”

However, Katie – who also has nine-year-old son Harvey from a previous relationship – admits she still has “issues” with her ex-husbands, despite being in a new relationship with Argentinean model Leandro Penna.

She said: “I think all of these experiences were meant for a reason because they remind me not to take anything for granted.

“I still have issues with both my exes but I just have to deal with it. Everyone has a drama, don’t they?”

Lily Allen has been learning how to make cushions.

The pregnant singer revealed she is not “rock ‘n’ roll” anymore since her wedding to Sam Cooper last month and has now taken up knitting and embroidery after setting up home in the countryside in Cranham, Gloucestershire, South West Englan, with her new husband.

She said: “I’m being taught how to knit. I’m so not rock ‘n’ roll anymore. I’m embroidering too. I’m actually in the process of making cushions.”

Although she is enjoying a quieter way of life, Lily – who is on hiatus from her pop career – does miss performing live, but has a lot of preparations to make ahead of the arrival of her baby.

She added: “When I go to gigs and stuff, I get a slight pang of envy and I think, ‘Oh I do miss being up on that stage.’ But I have other priorities at the moment.”

Lily – who tragically lost her baby last November when she was six months pregnant – took to twitter recently to reveal she is suffering from common side effects of pregnancy, morning sickness and hot flushes.

She tweeted: “Aah the joys of pregnancy, just got papped vomiting on Bond Street.

“Oooh, its proper raining in Gloucestershire today. Does not feel like July at all, but that’s good cause I’m preggers and hating the heat. (sic)”

Selma Blair has given birth to a baby boy.

The 39-year-old actress and her partner Jason Bleick welcomed son Arthur Saint Bleick into the world yesterday  – 18 days past her due date – her representative has confirmed.

The baby weighed in at 7lbs 12oz.

Selma announced her pregnancy in January, but refused to reveal whether she knew the gender of the baby.

She said only: “I’m not going to say what it is yet. Hopefully, it’s one or the other.”

Prior to meeting clothing designer Jason 18 months ago,, the brunette beauty – who was married to musician Ahmet Zappa for two years – admitted while she was enjoying spending time with her girlfriends, she was still on the lookout for someone who made her feel good about herself.

She said: “I’ve just been reconnecting with my friends. I want someone who makes me feel good, if you know what I mean!”

However, Selma – who has been spotted wearing a ring on her engagement finger in recent weeks – admitted she had “little faith” she’d ever find her soulmate.

She explained: “I have very little faith that I’ll ever find someone. I’ve had some bad luck and I’ve made some bad choices – not in men, but in how I’ve chosen to deal with relationships.”

Kim Kardashian admits it’s “hard” work to maintain her stunning figure

Kim Kardashian admits it’s “hard” work to maintain her stunning figure.

The 30-year-old socialite – who is famed for her womanly curves – says her love of food means she has to work out very regularly to stop her from gaining weight, which isn’t always easy.

She told Britain’s Hello! magazine: “I love to eat, but I also love to work out, so hopefully they cancel each other out. If I need to get in shape for a photo shoot or to get back into my bikini, I cut back on processed foods and carbs for two weeks.

“I have always been curvy and for a long time I’ve been doing a class in West Hollywood called Barry’s Bootcamp. But recently I started working out with Tracy Anderson. It looks really easy but is really hard work. After 12 weeks working out with her, I really saw a difference. But it’s hard because I really love food and have a really sweet tooth. My weakness is ice cream and frozen yoghurt.”

Kim also revealed how she isn’t a fan of Botox after once using the non-invasive fillers.

She said: “I’m totally not against plastic surgery. I tried Botox and wasn’t impressed. That’s the only thing I’ve had done. My eyes looked different, but it didn’t make me look any younger, so I’m going to stick to anti-wrinkle cream for now.”

Leighton Meester sues mother for spending money on surgery

By Andrea Petrou on July 26th, 2011

Leighton Meester is suing her mother for spending money that was intended for the actress’ siblings on cosmetic procedures.

The ‘Gossip Girl’ star has reportedly initiated a lawsuit against her mum Constance Meester for using cash she had sent to her younger brother and sister for plastic surgery, hair extensions and Botox injections.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ.com, Leighton was sending her mother – who allegedly “refuses” to work – $7,500 a month so she could provide care for the 25-year-old star’s younger brother Lex, who suffers from severe medical issues.

However, rather than using the money to provide essentials for the youngster, Constance – who gave birth to Leighton while serving time in Fort Worth Prison, Texas, for her role in a drug smuggling ring – was putting the cash towards a whole host of cosmetic procedures.

Claiming the pair had an oral contract guaranteeing Leighton would pay her mother $10,000 a month, Constance reportedly threatened to file a $3 million law suit against the brunette beauty unless she started handing over the cash.

With the star insisting no such conversation had been had, she is now keen for a judge to declare that there was never any contract – verbal or otherwise – between the family members.

Leighton has previously claimed her “eccentric” mother has “inspired” her throughout her life.

She said: “My mother Connie inspires me. She’s an amazing woman. When I was a kid I wanted to be an actress and she completely backed me. She is her own person, very eccentric, very individual.”

Amy Winehouse’s funeral will take place today

The 27-year-old singer – who was found dead at her north London home on Saturday will be laid to rest in a private ceremony for her loved ones, a family spokesperson has confirmed.

The representative refused to give details of the time or location for the service.

Jewish customs normally require a funeral to take place within 24 hours of death.

However, Amy’s had to be delayed in order for post-mortem examinations to be carried out.

Her inquest was opened and immediately adjourned at London’s St Pancras Coroner’s Court today in order to prevent further delays in the burial.

Assistant Deputy Coroner Suzanne Greenaway told the two-minute hearing: “I’m formally opening this inquest. I’m issuing interim certificates to allow Miss Winehouse’s family to make arrangements for the funeral.”

Sharon Duff, Coroner’s Officer at St Pancras Coroner’s Court, had earlier told the hearing: “I bring before you the death of Amy Jade Winehouse, aged 27, born on the 14 September 1983 in London.

“She was a divorced lady living at Camden Square, NW1. She was certified dead at her home by a paramedic and a doctor on July 23.

“She was a singer/songwriter at the time of her death and was identified by her family here at St Pancras this morning. A section 20 post mortem has been carried out and histology and toxicology taken to determine the cause of death.

“The scene was investigated by police and determined non-suspicious.”

The case has now been adjourned until October 26.

Carey Mulligan is reportedly engaged to Mumford & Sons singer Marcus Mumford.

The ‘Never Let Me Go’ actress – who was first spotted with the folk musician at an intimate concert in Nashville in February – was showing off her engagement ring to guests at Babington House in Somerset, South West England, over the weekend.

A witness told The Sun newspaper: “Carey looked like the cat who had got the cream. She was wearing a beautiful ring and didn’t seem to mind who saw it.

“They were stuck to each other like glue. She was doing most of the talking and he was hanging on her every word.”

Carey, 26, and Marcus, 24, have been inseparable since they began their relationship, often spending time together at the ‘Roll Away Your Stone’ singer’s London home, as well as enjoying a break together to the Orkney Islands in Scotland in March and most recently Carey joined Marcus on the Mumford & Sons’ ‘Railroad Revival’ tour in Arizona.

Carey, 26, has previously dated ‘Transformers’ star Shia LeBoeuf, while Marcus, 24, split with fellow folk singer Laura Marling not long before meeting Carey.

Kristen Stewart was horrified by the robotic baby she had to work with in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1

Kristen Stewart was horrified by the robotic baby she had to work with in ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′.

The actress – who plays Bella Swann in the vampire film series – was looking forward to her alter-ego having a child with her on-screen blood-sucking lover Edward Cullen but admits the reality was somewhat different because they used an animatronic child, which was operated by a member of the crew.

Speaking of the moment Bella meets her half-vampire, half-human child, Kristen said: “In the book that was one of my favourite parts.

“But filming it, this guy’s sweating under your eye line, they get the hand up to touch your face and then it sticks to your hair and pulls a little bit.

“You’re like, ‘Ugh! Get that thing off me. Get me a baby, this is ridiculous.’ It had hair and it’s a newborn baby.”

Robert Pattinson – who plays the baby’s vampire father Edward – was also repulsed by the artificial baby as it looked like something from a horror movie.

He is quoted by the Daily Record newspaper: “It’s Chucky from ‘Child’s Play’!”

Bella and Edward’s daughter, who they name Renesmee Carlie Cullen, grows much faster than other children and Kristen admits filming with some of the child stars was tough because they were bigger than her.

The 5ft 6in beauty said: “Occasionally I couldn’t pick up the kid.”

Pamela Anderson is to release her own range of lingerie

Pamela Anderson is to release her own range of lingerie.

The former ‘Baywatch’ babe – who recently launched a collection of stockings – has signed a global licensing deal with Secrets in Lace to produce, market and distribute the line and ahs promised buyers won’t be disappointed.

The mother-of-two told WWD: “I am very pleased with the initial collection. I love every one of the styles because they cover every fashion occasion. I’ve always loved lingerie. I like to dress up. Fantasy is something I respond to. There’s a time and a place. Usually if I can’t find a place, it’s not worth my time.

“I have an incredibly diverse collection of lingerie. I actually have too much tucked away in storage. I haven’t bought lingerie in a long time – building my house took much longer than it should have. Now it’s done, it will be a wild playground soon enough, my lair, my boudoir. Anyone who enters – beware.”

Daniel Whitsett, president of Secrets in Lace, added: “We liked the idea that Pam is very into being a mom with two boys and very into being a woman. We’ve been very active and successful with retro looks. All of our 15-denier and 10-denier stockings are made with machinery from the 1950s, and the yarn is 100 percent nylon because Lycra can’t be used with these machines. We like to say ‘guaranteed to run’ because the deniers are so fine.”

Christina Hendricks will design her own line of swimwear

Christina Hendricks will design her own line of swimwear.

The ‘Mad Men’ actress is known for her curvy figure, but has revealed in the past her fuller chest and small waist make it difficult to source suitable beachwear and as a result she has decided to create her own collection.

An insider told The Mail on Sunday newspaper: “Christina is a US size 10 and weighs 154lbs but she can’t find a swimsuit that compliments her figure. So she started designing her own and is in talks to sign a deal. She loves her curves and doesn’t want to lose weight.

“She wanted to create something other women can wear too. The plan is to start with swimwear and move into underwear and her own clothing line.”

Christina has previously complained about the difficulty in finding suitable swimwear for her fuller figure.

She said: “It’s really hard to find a bathing suit if you have breasts. You either get smooshed down or there’s no support.”

The 36-year-old actress also revealed her problems extend to finding dresses to wear to red carpet events.

She added: “I have to be careful about my proportions and keep it simple. What works for me is structure and something that shows my waist.

“No one will send me dresses. Designers loan size 2 or 4 samples to actresses, but I’m not that size.

“It’s like I’m a freak because I’m curvy and I can’t squeeze into those things. I’ve had some problems with that.”

Emma Watson is most proud of the outfit she wore to a ‘Harry Potter’ premiere aged 14

Emma Watson is most proud of the outfit she wore to a ‘Harry Potter’ premiere aged 14.

The 21-year-old actress walked the red carpet for ‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ in a vintage purple gown and says the dress will always be “special” to her because of the effort she made in creating a distinctive look.

She recalled: “I’ve loved every dress I’ve worn for a premiere but probably the best is the purple dress from the 1920s.

“My mum and I found it in a vintage shop. It was torn but we had it repaired. The one rip we couldn’t mend we covered with a corsage.

“We dyed shoes to match and found vintage silk flowers for my hair. That was the first time I felt I was creating my own look so, although it wasn’t perfect by any means, that dress will always be special to me.”

Emma is a fan of “modern” designers but also loves simple garments for everyday wear.

She added: “I love modern designers like Alberta Ferretti. And right now, I’m very big on Valentino. But for everyday wear, the items I couldn’t live without are a pair of basic black cropped trousers and a pair of ballet pumps.

“You can’t go wrong with those – they’re the basis of everything.”

Amy Winehouse: found dead aged 27 in London flat

By shinychris on July 23rd, 2011
2 comments

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in North London, it has been reported.

The Back To Black singer was apparently found at the property by emergency services at 3.54pm this afternoon, according to sources, and her death is being treated as ‘unexplained’ by police.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: ‘Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.

She had recently finished a course of alcohol rehabilitation in London and at the time was under strict instructions not to drink.

Last month, the north Londoner pulled out of the European tour after she was jeered at the first gig in Serbia for appearing too drunk on stage to perform.

For 90 minutes, she mumbled through parts of songs and at times left the stage – leaving her band to fill in.

Winehouse’s breakthrough disc, 2006′s Back to Black, won her five Grammy Awards and helped her achieve worldwide stardom, but her music had been overshadowed by drug use and run-ins with the law.

Amy Winehouse joins a long list of pop and rock icons who died at 27 including Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Doors lead singer Jim Morrison and Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain.

Singer and presenter Myleene Klass tweeted: “OMG. Amy Winehouse. Exceptional talent and really nice lady. RIP.”

BBC Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton wrote: “Can not believe the news. Amy was a special girl. The saddest news.”
