Orange Celebrity News ? London Fashion Week 28 January 2009

What have Tina Turner, Kylie Minogue and Dita Von Teese got in common? Apart from cracking sets of pins, of course. No idea? Surely it’s obvious! They’ve all been spotted gallivanting around at London Fashion Week, where Dita and a Dior-clad Kyles checked out, well, the latest Christian Dior clobber and Tina took in Giorgio Armani’s new collection. Anne Hathaway was at Armani too, but in a horrible dress so we’re choosing to ignore her.

Meanwhile in neighbouring Germany, Cheryl Cole was wowing all comers with a sterling performance at a music awards show – and apparently using everything she’s learned from Victoria Beckham insodoing. No, we don’t mean she didn’t actually sing, we’re referring to one reflective UK tabloid’s insistence that our Chezza wouldn’t know one end of a Louboutin pump from the other were it not for Posh’s tutelage. Unconvinced, we are.

Talking of style icons, the rumour mill’s been pumping out all manner of tittle-tattle relating to the Sex and the City girls… sorry, ladies. If we’re to believe the latest round of groundless hearsay, the makers of the SatC movies (the second one’s pretty much finished, by all accounts) are anxious to get a third flick in the can as soon as possible – because Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis will soon be too long in the tooth to convince us as sophisticated girls-about-town.

Celebrity News – Orange Celebrity blog round-up 24 November 2009

Victoria Beckham! I know, amazing isn’t it? Admittedly the jury’s out as to whether the titfer goes well with the rest of Posh’s typically downbeat all-black attire – a jauntier colour might not have gone amiss – but just you wait, everyone’ll be wearing the same thing soon enough.

Meanwhile on planet pop, Cheryl Cole’s taken to wearing her wedding ring again, sparking enthused rumours that, umm, she just doesn’t wear it all the time. Nothing to see here, folks! We all know Ashley’s a cad of the first water, but hey, if she can forgive him then I am sure we can too.  I mean, he must be good at something.. oh that’s right he is a footballer so we have to give him some credit.

If you’re hankering after some proper hardcore jewellery, though, look no further than Paula Abdul’s fairly insane bracelet/bangle/glove/whatever-it-is at the American Music Awards. Sadly Nicole Kidman, Leona Lewis and even Rihanna let the side down in comparison, wearing a net curtain, a bin liner and a small child’s paper sculpture, respectively.

Thanks heavens, then, for Jedward, who will no doubt be capitalising on their recent X Factor “success” (they got voted out over the weekend) by appearing on absolutely anything offered to them for a few weeks. Chaps – I can see a little sunshine, go make some hay now! I would certainly watch out for them in the New Year.  If the Cheeky Girls can release an album after being booted off Popstars The Rivals early on in the show, then I am sure there is a singing/acting career ready for Jedward.

Celebrity News!

The couple was spending Christmas in Aspen with their two sons Max and Bob. You would think that after “accidentally” shooting Kelly Preston in the arm during their short-lived engagement and Denise Richards hauling out of their marriage while pregnant with their daughter due to his substance abuse and domestic violence that this woman would know to stay away from this psycho. Sheen is out on $8,500 bond since his wife didn’t press charges and there is a restraining order against him until the hearing on February 8, 2010 when prosecutors will decide whether or not to charge him. Sheen will undergo therapy for anger management.
Creepy Threat or Another Publicity Stunt?
Jon Gosselin’s New York apartment was ripped to shreds over the weekend and a threatening note, also reading that he is a cheater, was left stuck to the dresser with a butcher knife. Perhaps there was a Ginsu sale because knives seem to be very popular this holiday season. Everything throughout the apartment was sliced including the curtains and rugs. His Nintendo Wii game was missing as well as pots and pans and a few other household goods. A Ming vase dating at least 100 years old was smashed to smithereens- that had to hurt! Jon’s ex, Hailey Glassman was questioned because the note was signed with her name, though the true culprit remains a mystery. We know how much Jon loves the limelight and how “tough” it is to find a real job. Could he be so desperate for media attention that he did this himself? I certainly hope not at least for the sake of his children but if so, this guy needs some serious help.
Mark Wahlberg
Marky Mark’s not too excited about his new neighbors who just moved in near his home in Beverly Hills. Once David and Victoria Beckham settled in, the paparazzi has been swarming the street hoping to catch a glimpse of the stars or anyone connected to them. Wahlberg is not very enthusiastic about Beckham’s goal to beef up the game of soccer in the U.S. According to Hollywood.com, he said, “I’m not telling Beckham to take his family home. I’m just not sure why he came to America in the first place. Man, we don’t want your soccer. There’s no way Americans are going to buy the idea of 90 minutes of running around without much happening. Thanks for trying guys, but we’ll stick to baseball and basketball”. Ouch!
JFK
I bet you didn’t guess that you’d be hearing about this late president in your entertainment news. Evidently TMZ has discovered a photograph of JFK during the time he was running for president. He was taking a suntan on a boat while two nude women were jumping overboard for a swim. Two more nude women were tanning on the top level of the boat. Rumor has it that Ted Kennedy was also onboard the boat with the bevy of beauties. TMZ pointed out the fact that this photo could have caused major problems for JFK during his run for election and its discovery at that time could have changed history. The saddest part about this photo is the fact that it is said to have been taken the same day that Jackie Kennedy was taken for a ride to the hospital for an emergency C-Section and gave birth to their still-born child. Professionals tested the photo’s validity and claim that it is indeed authentic.
Bobby
It seems Robert DeNiro has a much closer relationship to his five children than he does in the film Everybody’s Fine. According to Hollywood.com, DeNiro feels that what he says does have an impression on his children, even as teenagers. He said, “But that’s the time when it’s most important to find a way to talk to them – not to lecture them, but to tell them things I think are important for them to know. And the thing to remember is that, even when they look like they’re not listening to you, they are. You have to accept that, at this point in their lives, you’re not going to get much of a reaction from them. But what you say is making an impression.”
Tyra Banks
Tyra is moving on to bigger and better things. She will be ending her talk show The Tyra Show in the spring of 2010 and opening up her own production company called Bankable Studios in New York. She seems to be following in Oprah’s footsteps- not a bad idea. She is determined to reach out to today’s women and told the press that the studio will be creating its share of movies! This sounds interesting and I’m excited to see what she has in store for us!

Reality TV Shows? Orange Celebrity news

Celebrity news is all around us.

X Factorirritants Jedward have apparently been asked by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals – Peta to you and I – to pose in the buff for a new ad campaign. “They didn’t think twice,” the inevitable unnamed source told the Daily Mirror. Pass me that spoon, I’ve got some eyes need a-gouging.

Anyone remember Makosi? The Big Brother 6 “star” was out and about at a charity fundraiser for Zimbabwe, wearing a retina-searing shocking pink frock. She was joined by Noisettes singer Shingai Shoniwa, and Sabrina Washington, the one out of Mis-Teeq who was on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! – well, one reality TV star out of two ain’t bad.

And so we inevitably come to the current and probably eternal Queen of Reality, Mrs/Miss/Ms Cheryl Cole/Tweedy/Kerl. It will comes as a surprise to precisely nobody to discover that Chezza’s been voted the best-dressed female celebrity by Glamour magazine. Popstars – The Rivals made her, The X Factor cemented her ubiquity, and now a fash mag thinks she scrubs up alright – she must be so proud…

Katie Price – the anti-Cheryl, if you will – has of course had her own frequent brushes with reality TV, but not even several ITV2 series could prepare her for the ear-bashing she got when taking a disabled parking space t’other day. Katie gave as good as she got, mind, shooting the objecting pensioner down with the simple fact that her son Harvey’s disability gives her free rein to park wherever the flip (our word, not hers) she likes. Nobody puts Katie in the corner (unless that’s where she wants to go).

Celebrity News ? Orange British Academy Film Awards 2010 ? Defiantly British

All the latest film trailers for the nominees are on the Orange film site.

But between the weather and the winners, this year’s BAFTAs were no desperate attempt at replicating Hollywood glamour, but instead were particularly and charmingly British. Indeed Armando Ianucci reflected British Academy feeling when describing the awards as recognising local talent. “I think they should feel different – and British – and celebrate our own films” said the director of the caustically witty political satire In The Loop.

Two of the major awards of the evening – Lead Actor and Lead Actress – were picked up by British favourites Colin Firth and Carey Mulligan. The gamine Mulligan, dressed in elegant monochrome, was clearly overwhelmed by the win, describing it as “being punched—nicely”.

Firth accepted his award with characteristic grace and humour saying: “an encounter with Tom Ford is to come away feeling resuscitated, a little more worldly, better groomed, more fragrant and more nominated than one has ever been before”. Ford of course strode the red carpet immaculately turned out: “I only wear me”.

The ceremony was presided over by Prince William whose resounding red carpet cheers were second only to vampire lover Robert Pattinson.  HRH takes over from Lord Attenborough as new President of the Academy, and presented the Academy Fellowship to famously Republican Vanessa Redgrave, who curtsied graciously in acceptance.

Yet the biggest winner of the evening with six masks was the US war drama The Hurt Locker, whose director Kathryn Bigelow finally became first woman in BAFTA history to take the prize for Best Director.
