No more 'Nude Scenes'

Brad Pitt has destroyed the hearts of millions of female fans with this quote.

“I don’t want to be embarrassed when my kids are old enough to see my films. I can’t see any more nude scenes [in my future].”

Looks like I am going to have to replay over and over again his naked scene with Aussie Rose Byrne from the movie Troy. He looks amazing there!

(This is also my 100th post!)

Christina bares all

WOW! Christina Aguilera has just finished an shoot and interview with US Marie Claire Magazine. The shoot sees Christina tastefully naked showing off her baby bump.
It looks like the pop megastar is set to have a baby boy. In the article she also talks about her marriage and her future. The article titled “Sexy Mama” is featured in the January 2008 US issue of Marie Claire. I hope we can get the magazine here!

Missy is bi-sexual

As regular readers will be aware I have reported that Australian singer, Missy Higgins came out of the 'closet' to national lesbian magazine Cherrie.

In the latest turn of events, Higgins has posted on her MySpace page she is 'bisexual'. Stating"I've been in relationships with men and women so I guess I fall most easily under the category 'bisexual'" .

Higgins said she felt she needed to set the record straight, after Cherrie labelled her "not straight".

I think that this is just a cover up because she is most probably not ready to open the door on her relationship with her current girlfriend. Her current girlfriend is still unknown but is said to be residing in Bondi where Missy just splashed out on a pad for the lover.

One of my bar bosses, Adam might be a little happier. There is still hope Adam!

Miranda takes on Paris

Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr reveals exclusively to Sassybella.com of her recent run in with Paris Hilton. Kerr is now a part of the prestigious Victoria's secret elite and was not happy with Miss Hilton.
You can watch the video interview on sassybella.com but to sum it up in short - Miss Hilton wanted to take part in the model parade and had to choose three outfits from the racks. She then pointed to Miranda's rack and stated "I want that one."
Miranda felt like "hitting her over the head" but went on to say that karma got Paris when Naomi Campbell arrived. Paris was left starkers after Naomi wanted her outfit back and closed the show!

And the winner is..

Victorian Natalie Gauchi has taken out 2007's Australian Idol. Its a bit of a suprise because i thought and so did everyone else that Matt Corby would take it out. You have to love an under-dog. She is now with Sony/BMG and has released her first song, Here I am.

Do you think she has what it takes? It is the first judges choice to win idol.

Meet Olive.

This gorgeous newborn is the Baby Borat.
Just look at how much weight Isla has dropped off already. Baby Olive is only one month old.

Let's sue.

It seems everybody these days are 'sue-mad'.

Sue-Mad means they will try and swindle every cent out of the person they feel to be cheated by. There have been well known cases where a lady tried to sue McDonalds over her obesity/health problem and where Louis Vuitton sued Britney Spears (successfully!)for damages and the banning of a Britney Spears video which uses an unauthorised close-up shot of Louis Vuitton fabric.
Are we serious here..Louis Vuitton is a brand image plastered around the world..there are imitations of the companies designer handbags all over the world and they would rather sue Britney over fabric!

In the latest incident of sue-mad it seems the boys from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are not happy with Showtime Networks, the company who makes the television show, Californication. Why? Because there CD which they released in 1999 was also called Californication. Anthony Kiedis states in a press release, "Californication" is the signature CD, video and song of the band's career. For some TV show to come along and steal our identity is not right."

I think that statement is a bit over exaggerated. The RHCP had released their first self-titled album in 1984. Under the Bridge - a song in which i love and was number one was released in 1991 on their Blood Sugar Sex Magik Album.Blood Sugar Sex Magik was a critical success and sold over twelve million copies and to top that off before they released Californication in 99 they released a Best of the red Hot Chilli Peppers in 1997. I think a band who releases a Best of album must be well known - and therefore the show is not stealing their identity. However, Californication, is their most successful album to date.

Band members want the show to stop using the name and to turn over any profits it made.

What do you guys think? Are the RHCP right - should the show Californication featuring David Duchovny be made to scrap the name of their show and give them the money that the show has earned so far -even though the show has nothing to do with the band!?!

And also: why did they wait a whole season to lodge a lawsuit - why not do it after the first episode!?!

Missy is gay..

Missy Higgins has come out on the cover of Cherrie magazine (a national lesbian magazine).
I always thought with songs Missy writes she was a scorned lover - but not from a man it seems!
It has been quoted of her saying "that she is not straight and believes sexuality is a fluid thing".
It is also believed Higgins has bought her girlfriend a house in Bondi.
I wonder if she feels better about herself - now she has outed herself?
Missy joins a group of people who have come out with their sexuality recently. Janice Dickinson has just admitted she is bi-sexual, Anthony Callea was accidently outed on radio and Lance Bass since he has outed himself won't shut up about it!

Lindsay does her time..

A whole 84 minutes that is! Lindsay walked into the Lynwood correctional facility at 10.30 a.m (5.30 AEST) with her lawyer, Blair Berk.
Lynwood is the same facility where Paris Hilton served her DUI sentence in June. Linds was sentenced to 24 hours in prison, but she didn’t even make it to a cell. She was kept in a holding area and released less than an hour and a half later.
Apparently Lohan was "extremely co-operative and professional." This 84-minute lockdown has fulfilled the jail time part of her DUI conviction, but she will still be required to complete community service.

What do we think of this? 84 minutes for Lindsaty, 82 minutes for Nicole..seems like celebs have different rules to others!

Nova's version of Jackie O

Kate Ritchie is set to replace Sami Lukis on the Nova forefront.
Kate will be on every morning from Monday to Friday with Merrick and Russo.
They are trying to capture the number 1 slot of breakfast fm radio.
That radio slot is currently held by Kyle and Jackie O.
No offence Nova, you are going to need a lot more than Kate to try and gain that spot.
Kyle and Jackie O work well as a team and Sydney loves Jackie and loves to hate Kyle.
You guys don't have that. Kate worked on the Akmal show earlier this year when she replaced Matthew Newton.

When the reign is over

One of my all time favourite shows reached an interesting point in the new episode: Katie hands over her reign and crown to new MIss Teen USA, Hilary Cruz from Colorado.
It was such a sad moment to see Katie go. Over the season, I must say she is one of my favorite people in the series minus the outrageous burps. She is down to earth and says whats on her mind. She has alot to deal with. Her on/off boyfriend Josh was unsupportive of her title and couldn't wait for it to be over!
Before she walks out to the crowd tears well up in her eyes. She know her time as Miss Teen USA has come to an end. Which has got me thinking, how depressing would it be - to hand over a title! Katie worked so hard to get it just to see it get passed on to someone else- and I might add Hilary seems to not appreciate the fact she won it with all the bitching she does in this episode.
The infamous Miss South Carolina from her US Maps to Iraq features in this episode and Hilary is annoyed that the spotlight is on South Carolina and not her.
I wish Katie all the best and I hope she features throughout the remainder of the season.

A true 'Sexyback'

I was lucky enough to see Justin Timberlake's show at Acer Arena. It was his last night it Australia and he wanted to go out with a 'bang!'.
I will repeat and say i was lucky enough because after the hysteria of what is Justin his first two Sydney shows sold out in a matter of minutes.
This superstar is a star in every form of the word. From the magical light show, to his dance moves and even the way he talks the crowd was in absoloute awe.
There was a mix of old songs including 'Gone' from his N*Sync days to 'What goes around..comes around" and "Cry me a river."
Jessica Biel was not in the audience and if i was his girlfriend I would not be there either. His dance moves with female perfomers especially in "Summer Love" would have left her hot under the collar.
He even shared his experience with Australian Wildlife. He had been swooped by a magpie and admitted he had "peed his pants a little!"
Justin left the crowd wanting more. I will definatley go and to his next concert - when he comes back to Sydney, superstar - is a term that should not be used lightly, but he fits the mould perfectly.

Whoa David Beckham!

David Beckham is about to get into his underwear for a sexy new campaign.
The soccer stuperstar and husband of Posh Spice is set to star as the new global face for Emporio Armani Underwear, which will be available in the new year.
Womens (and men) around the world will be drooling!

Bye-Bye Justin Bobby

Earlier last week The Hills star Audrina Patridge was going at it in a slinging match with Justin Bobby, Her on-off boyfriend. At the end of the night Audrina screams, "He doesn't even have the balls to come and talk to me!"
Well bye-bye Justin, hello Tyson Paige. The couple were first seen at the Maxim launch party for Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed party in LA and now a few days later at the Motorola holiday party also in LA.
Rumour has it Justin was at the Maxim Launch party and was caught sulking making his way to the next club.
NOTE TO JUSTIN: Look at this season of The Hills. How can you expect to have any one when you treat the person you "like" like that! Now that you have woken up, its too late!

On a serious note

(Shellay's bedroom)
What is going on in the world of DOCS?
Yes, I am talking about the Department Of Child Services.
In the past month NSW has seen three severe cases make headlines and I am sure there are many that have not been reported on.
The Daily Telegraph has reported on Dean Shillingsworth, a two year old boy who was found murdered and put in a suitcase, found floating in a pond. This poor boy was known to DOCS and after his paternal grandmother made several attempts to DOCS she was ignored. Look what happened!
The second case is a girl by the name of Shellay Ward. This beautiful seven yeard old girl who suffered from autism died from starvation and only weighed nine kilograms. To make this situation worse, The Daily Telegraph revealed to its readership this morning of the conditions Shellay was faced with. This included being surrounded by who own faeces. The old next door neighbours to this girl were concerned for her safety and was again their pleas were ignored. This poor girl was known to be confined to this squalid of a room and was often seen staring outside her window screaming for her mum and dad. She never attended school.It is believed only Mr Ward has been interviewed by police. His wife, has yet to be questioned by police in relation to her daughter's death.

And this, the third case has just come to light. A fourteen month old boy is on life support in Westmead's children hospital after apparently falling from his high chair. All that is known at this time is his mother a nineteen year old girl had been involved with a man in his thirties. The man is not known to be the childs biological father but is a convicted killer. This little boy is now fighting for his life and DOCS knew about this situation.

I feel sorry for any child that has been neglected or harmed. How can anyone do this? I really hope something can be done about this matter.

I promised to..

Put some pictures up from my holiday when I got them developed.
I did not take a lot as regular readers of my blog would know beacuse I my digital camera had broken the week before. So I took some of my boys camera!
Enjoy!

Joe and I at the Minus 5 Bar in Surfer's Paradise

Myself at Koi

J-Lo confirms what we knew..

Jennifer Lopez has confirmed she is pregnant with her first child to Marc Anthony.
All I can say is: Why did it take so long! It was quite obvious there was a bump on her body! She would of had to confirm after dear friend and designer blurted it out to the press.
Go here to see the footage of her confession at her last concert. http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid285859616/bclid294430730/bctid1297325707

What a great find!

Whilst on my lunch break yesterday I came across a site which fascinated me.
Because I am admitting I am celeb obsessed it would be no great suprise that I loved this site.
The site is www.makemeheal.com and its about cosmetic surgery.
They have have a celebrity/star gossip section asking who has/has not had surgery.
Check out these two stars for your self and let me know what you guys think!

Self discovery while on holidays

I had a ah-ha! moment when I was away recently.
I was sitting on the balcony of my apartment by myself sipping on a malibu and pineapple.
When you are away from the people you love (this time I was away from my family and friends) you tend to learn more about yourself. With this trip, this is what I discovered about myself.
1. I have to have time by myself. I cannot live with three other people in such a small space. Arguements are bound to happen.
2. I have to start a hobby. According to Cosmo hobby is the new black, but this has been on my mind for a while. Something away from work or career. Something I can enjoy by myself. Depending on the amount of time I have available (considering I work six days a week and am just about to start a 22hour a week uni course by correspondence!) I will try an choose a hobby accordingly.
3. When I am away I often question myself. I question is my relationship everything I expected, who are my true friends, what do I want etc. (Why cant I just relax!) Questions that will always come around with a different answer.
4.I need to get a body masage atleast once a month. I am being serious! It was the most relaxing experience. I sleep better after a massage as well!

Have a good day!

I'm so excited right now

I am a big fan of Christina and was excited to see her a second time in July when she was perfoming her "Back to Basics" tour.
On the way home, Amy,Leese,Louise and I had Christina blasting from my VW, talking about the concert we had just been to. We loved it.
Leese and I both being celeb obsessed had to check and see if there was a baby bump. We confirmed that there was! (one of my first blogs was on the concert!) Anyways it was a great night.
The next day Louise and I were sweating it out at the gym, when Lou said wouldn't it be great if she released a Back to Basics dvd from our concert.
Fast forward to today and suprise! Christina has just announced that she will be releasing on December 8,2007 her performance from Sydney’s Acer Arena from July on DVD.
According to Australian press, “‘Christina Aguilera Back To Basics : Live In Australia’ took place just before she came to Melbourne, fell ill, and had to cancel the remaining dates of the world tour.”
I am so excited! Like one of my best buds would say, "I'm so excited, I could piddle myself!" (Not to be taken seriously ofcourse!!)

Image of Christina is pre baby-bump performing for her tour.

My Holiday..

I promise i will put some pics up as soon as I get my boyfriend's memory card from his camera. I keep forgetting!
We stayed at Cascade Gardens in Surfers Paradise. It was basic but good in the sense you could walk everywhere.
Broadbeach is much nicer than Surfers. If i had my way I would be living at Broadbeach right now. The atmosphere is very laid back. They have a really nice restaurant strip and its not as expensive as Sydney.
Some of the places we visited included: Q1, Minus 5 bar, Melbas, Bedroom, Georges, Koi, Dreamworld, Wet and Wild, Pacific Fair and White Water World! Pretty busy hey!
It was great to see one of my best friends for her birthday. I was scared that we would be in different states but when she told me she was going to Surfers I was really excited.
The only down part to my trip was i had an arguement with my boyfriend and one of the people who was staying with us, well lets say we have drifted apart. We are not as close as what we were. That's fine tho, everyone changes, me included!
If i could do it all again - in some ways I would and in others I wouldn't bother. After all, everything including arguements make a holiday unique and different - right!?!

Expectant Mumma news..

Christina Aguilera has finally confirmed what we already knew. With a recent interview in Glamour magazine the star says she will balance motherhood. The baby is due early next year.
Cate Blanchett was the meat in the sandwich last week when rumours begun about her fuller figure. Cate announced happily, yes i am pregnant. The baby is due in April. This will be the third child for Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton.
Jennifer Lopez's friend, designer Roberto Cavalli, told the press the star is expecting a child. Talking about her costumes for her tour is hard because quote "She is getting bigger every week!" I bet you J-Lo was not happy about this one, since she has even gone to the extremes of denying it!

Sway my vote..

OK.. so I was just watching Rove when I saw the most disgusting thing ever! seriously! It had disturbed me that much, well here I am whinging about it on a Sunday night. Now, this is my first ever blog about politics. I never bring it up because to be honest, voting is a personal thing. I do not want to influence anyone else on my thoughts but this crossed the line.
I am talking about video footage of Kevin Rudd scraping ear wax out of his ear in parliament then eating it.Thats right, sucking his finger with his findings. How wrong! Any regular reader, would know..I freak out when it comes to hygeine issues!! I look at it this way..
If Kev does this..what else does he do?
Peter Garrett also came out and stated if labour won..they would change their policies. Well guess what guys!?!
You lost my vote! Yes you lost it over the ear wax. Anyone think I should accept his dirty habit and i am over exaggerating?

Lindsay nearly relapsed

Linds was seen attending the “Rehab Summer of 2008” you’d think the star would not ask for alcohol would you?!? But after all its Lindsay Lohan. After completing her third stint in rehab this year the star was at Viceroy Hotel in Los Angeles,attempting to order a drink for herself on October 19th. But thanks to her aides, LiLo was refused the libation.
Lindsay’s sober aides have gone above and beyond the call of duty, and visited all of her old hangouts, telling the staff not to serve her.
A witness told press, “She was fine at first, but it was obviously too soon for her to be around people who were drinking, because she later asked the server for a vodka. But her people had called ahead and servers were told not to give in no matter how often Lindsay asked for alcohol.”
Another source said, “I heard the waitress say that she was sorry but she wasn’t allowed to serve her. Lindsay walked out soon after, looking embarrassed.”

Lohan’s people are denying the validity of the story. You would tho, wouldn't you?! After three stints in rehab you would hope one of them worked in the bid to remain sober!

Martina Hingis linked to coccaine

Former world number one Martina Hingis is retiring/leaving tennis in a bit of a scandal.
Martina who is now ranked 19 in the world has said the follwoing:

“I have tested positive, but I have never taken drugs and I feel 100% innocent,” Hingis went on to say: “The reason I have come out with this is because I do not want to have a fight with anti-doping authorities. Because of my age and my health problems, I have also decided to retire from professional tennis.”

Hingis is only twenty-seven. To me, she sounds guilty because if i knew i was 100% innocent, there would be no way i would let a drug allegation ruin my career!

I AM BACK!

Good morning people.
After one week of holidays I am back in the blogging seat. I will ensure you that I will catch up on my celeb goss to keep everyone informed!
I am having one of 'those' days. You know the kind. Lacking motivation. I have narrowed it down to two reasons:

1. First day back from a sun-filled holiday. You are always going to feel nostalgic. The fact that I fel in love with the place that I visited (Surfer's Paradise and Broadbeach) would not help. The atmosphere is different to Sydney. Very laid-back.

2. I have after my sun-filled holiday became sick. I have a throat and ear infection. My entire right hand side of my body is blocked. I cannot hear or smell and from this morning i have lost my taste too! After landing back in Sydney on Wednesday night I was unable to unblock my ears from the plane flight. According to the Doctor, the flight would not have helped. I most probably already had an infection and the flight just helped it.

I cannot wait to tell you guys all about my adventures. The up's and down's. The must go places and what you can discover about yourself when you go away.

Its all about to come your way!
