Jessica Alba has become a mummy for the second time

By emilyborrett on August 15th, 2011

Congratulations to Momma Alba! The Spy Kids actress, who’s been breathtakingly pregnant for a while now, finally gave birth on Saturday to her new baby girl.

The new baby, who’s been named Haven Garner, will join her three-year-old sister Honor in the Warren/Alba clan. Jessica announced Haven’s arrival on her Facebook page: “She was born on Saturday, weighed 7 lbs. and was 19 inches long. Healthy and happy! Big sister Honor couldn’t be more excited about the new addition to our family. Thank you for all of your support during my pregnancy. It means the world to me.” Aw,  you’re welcome.

Haven’s arrival into the world has been long-awaited – before the birth Jessica spoke about the new addition to the family and about how excited she was. “The idea of loving someone as much as I love Honor is something I haven’t wrapped my head around yet. But I know I will and I can’t wait. As a mother carrying a baby we get to bond while the baby is growing – reaching each milestone, feeling hiccups, kicks, rolling around. It’s the blessing I think we get for all the round-ligament pain, sciatic pain and frequent trips to the bathroom.”

We love a new celebrity baby – congrats again to Jessica Alba and her hubby Cash Warren.

Mel C slams Rihanna for being too sexual

By emilyborrett on August 10th, 2011

The former Spice Girl, Mel C or “Sporty” as those born in the 90s will fondly remember her, has spoken out against Rihanna, criticising her for overtly sexual music videos and stage performances.

Sporty, who has a two-year old daughter called Scarlet, is getting more and more worried about how sexual today’s media is and particularly about the “S&M” singer’s very sexual performances.

Mel said to the Daily Mirror, “People have to take some responsibility because we’ve got to a point where the over-sexualisation of young children has gone too far. I think music is a big part of that. Women in music are extremely sexual and they have young fans. It is inappropriate. Rihanna has a responsibility and although culture’s always changing, it’s changed too much. It needs to be dealt with. It’s reached saturation point, we owe it to our kids to protect them.”

She continued that she believes some of Ri-Ri’s artistic decisions are down to the fact that she doesn’t have any children herself, saying, “I love Rihanna, I think she’s a f***ing brilliant artist, with great songs, a great record and she looks fantastic … but she’s not a mum. Maybe if she becomes one she’ll feel different. I hope so anyway.”

We would quite like to see a music video with Rihanna being less sexy and more normal too. Maybe Ri-Ri wearing her nan’s cardigan, watching Take Me Out in a T-shirt with an egg stain on it. No?

An “emotionally thin” Lady Gaga wears her heart on her sleeve for her art

By emilyborrett on August 10th, 2011

Our favourite bonkers hitmaker, Lady Gaga, has described herself as “emotionally thin” – for anyone as bemused as we are by that phrase, it just means vulnerable, but Gaga doesn’t like that word as it implies that she just cries all the time.

When asked in an interview what she’s come to learn about herself recently, she replied: “I learned that to be a great artist, you must be emotionally very thin. Your tears and anger and your happiness must be just under the surface of your first layer of skin. I like to say ‘emotionally thin’ because it’s much more dramatic. Vulnerable to me implies only tears.”

We really like a celebrity that we can relate to, and that isn’t afraid to wear her (mental and technicoloured) heart on her sleeve. Take care, Gaga. We love you!

Rihanna has been bombarding Joe Jonas with sexy texts

By emilyborrett on August 9th, 2011

Poor little Joe Jonas must be getting a bit hot under the collar, as it seems that naughty old Rihanna has been teasing the squeaky-clean singer with suggestive texts.

Rumours are saying that Rihanna’s been giggling over the idea of deflowering Joe since first meeting him when he collaborated with her ex Chris Brown. A source revealed: “They met when Joe did a song with Rihanna’s ex Chris Brown and recently she’s been bombarding him with raunchy text messages. She keeps laughing to her mates that she wants to take him one the wildest ride of his life.”

We can’t say we’re surprised at Ri-Ri, as it seems the “S&M” singer has had little else besides sex on her mind lately. Parents who took their children to her latest “Loud” tour were outraged by its sexually suggestive dance routines and skimpy outfits.

Joe Jonas has dated plenty of Disney tweens in the past, such as Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato, but I’ve got a funny feeling that Rihanna might be more of a handful. She’ll eat him alive!

Miranda Kerr puts her stunning good looks down to “love”

By emilyborrett on August 8th, 2011

Get ready to say “Awwww”, readers, because the supermodel Miranda Kerr has admitted she thinks that love is the reason behind her beauty. Awwww!

She told Australia’s Daily Telegraph newspaper: “If you have love, first of all love and appreciation for yourself, then you are going to eat healthily and you are going to take care of yourself and exercise. When you do that, you can give so much love to other people because you have the energy to give… That’s what gives me a healthy body and a healthy soul.”

Miranda must have a lot of love in her life at the moment, as she’s recently had her first baby, seven-month old boy Flynn, with the actor and heartthrob Orlando Bloom.

Come on everyone, let’s start loving each other more – if Miranda’s right then perhaps we’ll all start getting modclling jobs with Victoria’s Secret.

Jennifer Lopez wants to feel “sexy and modern”

By emilyborrett on August 3rd, 2011

Jennifer Lopez has admitted that what she really wants from an outfit is to feel sexy.

The sultry R and B singer, who has just publicly announced her split from her third mother Marc Anthony, says that she needs to feel both comfortable and sexy at the same time.

She said: “I’m a mom. I work. I want comfort. But I want to feel sexy and modern. I think most women want the same things.” I think we do – but we can’t pull it off the way that Jen does. You would never know that the woman is 42.

Jen, you want to feel sexy and modern and I think that everyone’s boyfriend or husband would agree that you already are.

Katy Perry claims her good skin is all down to Proactiv skin care

By emilyborrett on August 2nd, 2011

The glam “Friday Night” singer Katy Perry has banished all of her skin problems for good, claiming that it is all down to Proactiv Solution skincare.

Some particularly mean paparazzi have managed to photograph the star make-up free in the past, showing off bumpy and spotty skin, but that seems to be a thing of the past. (To be honest, we can’t really that her skin was ever that bad at all, but you know.)

Katy said about her new, clear skin: “After trying every procedure, facial treatment and product I could find, I finally decided to try Proactiv. I mean, I had nothing to lose except my acne, and I was definitely okay with losing that. Since then, I’ve seen massive changes in my face and my confidence. All of my big, kind of stick-out bumps went flat, my blemishes progressively got smaller and smaller, and even some of my scarring started going away.”

We’ve always admired Katy’s smooth, clear skin, so it’s nice to know that she at least gets normal breakouts sometimes. Having said that, congratulations to the singer – now pass us the Proactiv. If it’s good enough for KP, it’s good enough for us.

New mother and stylist Rachel Zoe issues herself a no-heels ban

By emilyborrett on August 1st, 2011

Rachel Zoe, one of Hollywood’s most famous fashion stylists, has surprised us all with the news that she has banned herself from wearing heels while carrying her new four-month old son Skyler. (Yes, we know… Skyler.)

The diminutive fashion power-house is well-known for her passion for ankle-breaking high heels, but has decided to forgo them for now as she adjusts to being a new mummy, with the reasoning that it’s far safer to carry your baby in flats.

Zoe said about the new heel ban: “”I had better balance pregnant than not pregnant. My rule is I do not hold my child in heels.”

Quite right, and good for her, though I bet she’s already itching to get back into her Louboutins.

Kim Kardashian is hoping to get pregnant by the “end of the year”.

By Andrea Petrou on June 9th, 2011

Kim Kardashian is hoping to get pregnant by the “end of the year”.

The 30-year-old socialite – whose basketball star boyfriend Kris Humphries proposed last month with a 20.5 carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring – has revealed the couple will have started trying for their first child by the time 2011 draws to a close.

Asked whether they are hoping to become parents anytime soon, Kim said: “I hope so, I really hope so. Maybe by the end of the year. Well, I won’t have a baby by the end of the year, but maybe we’ll start trying by the end of the year. After the wedding.”

The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star also revealed she will be keeping her current surname once she ties the knot with Kris, but will be known as “Mrs. Humphries” at home.

She added: “I think at home and privately, for sure I’ll be Mrs. Humphries. Maybe I will make it Kim Kardashian-Humphries, but I think I will always have Kardashian for work. But at home, Humphries.”

Kim has made no secret of her desire to have a large family, but recently admitted she had scaled down her plans for six children after seeing how difficult it has been for her sister Kourtney Kardashian to raise her 18-month-old son Mason.

She said: “I do want kids. I want four. I started at six a few years ago.

“I’ve always wanted a big family. But seeing how much hard work brining up Mason is for Kourt has given me a reality check. I don’t think I’ll be rushing into that just yet!”

Oopsy daisy: Mark Ronson accidentally gives away all of his clothes to charity

By Andrea Petrou on September 28th, 2010

By Emily Borrett.

Mark Ronson must be feeling pretty cheesed off right now (and nowhere near as smug as he does in this photo) about the silly blunder that he confessed to in an interview with The Independent – he accidentally gave away all of his clothes to charity. That’s like my worst nightmare.

As he’s well-known for his love for menswear and sharp suits, of course he’d be asked to donate a few bits and bobs to an auction in the name of charity. But it all went horribly wrong when he asked his friends to sort it out for him while he was away.

It should have been simple – his friends showed him via webcam some items from his wardrobe, and Ronson OK’d the ones that he wouldn’t miss too much. But it seems that his friends got a wee bit carried away, as when the producer returned, he was gobsmacked to find that his wardrobe was completely bare.

He said on the clothing catastrophe: “I was in London so I had him on iChat holding up the suits to the camera. I would say ‘Yeah, that one, that one and that one.’ Then when I got home I opened the wardrobe and I was like ‘F**k, there’s nothing left!’”

Never mind Marky. For us little folk it would be an absolute disaster, but you’re rich so you can have loads of fun shopping for a brand new wardrobe. I’m actually a little bit jealous.

Claws at the ready: A meeting with Taylor Momsen leaves Tim Gunn less than impressed

By Andrea Petrou on September 15th, 2010

By Emily Borrett.

What is it with Taylor Momsen at the moment? If she’s not having a go at fellow singers or stomping around miserably in her stripper heels and leather jacket, she’s trying the patience of her fellow celebrities. The latest disgruntled celebrity is the kind, twinkly-eyed gay uncle of fashion Tim Gunn, who was appalled by her sulky behaviour when he appeared in a cameo role on the set of Gossip Girl.

Anyone who watches Project Runway as much as I do that Tim Gunn is not an easy man to anger. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen him lose his rag at a designer, ever – the closest he gets to ticking anyone off is peering over his glasses like Anne Robinson and uttering to a hopelessly disorganised designer his favourite catchphrase: “Make it work.” And even then it’s not remotely threatening.

So Momsen must have been really bad for Gunn to label the actress as “pathetic” and “a diva”. The television stylist let off steam afterwards to E! Online, saying, “She was pathetic, she couldn’t remember her lines, and she didn’t even have that many. I thought to myself, ‘Why are we all being held hostage by this brat?’”

When asked what he’d like to say to the stroppy starlet he replied, “I’d say, ‘You know, young lady, there are hundreds of thousands of girls who are just as attractive and even smarter than you. Why are you acting like this show is a huge burden on you?’” Well, you know when Tim Gunn uses the term “young lady”, that you’re in serious trouble. He should send Taylor to her room ’til she’s ready to say sorry.
