New Years Resolutions

It is this time every year where everyone starts to think about their New Years Resolutions. Over the years, I have promised myself the following things:
-Stress less
-Be Healthy (cut out the junk food!)

And I failed. I do not know why people make resolutions when they know they will break them!This year my resolution is to make no resolution! That way I can not fail.

My highlights of the year:
-Britney's meltdown - losing custody of her two sons, in and out of rehab and the unforgettable MTV comeback.
-Christina touring Australia.
-Justin Timberlake touring Australia.
-Nicole Richie's pregnancy and gaining some much needed weight.
-More stars stripping for PETA, including Australia's Sophie Monk.
- Spice Girls reuniting

My predictions for 2008:
-Mischa Barton goes to rehab
-Britney gains custody back of her kids
-One of my friend's gets engaged
-Cate Blanchett wins an Oscar
-Perez Hilton gets sued by Jessica Alba

The list could go on!

Have a Happy NYE. Be safe and drink responsibly.

More than an art form

Artist Alison Jackson has released a new book called "Confidential".

I can hear everyone, going who?

Alison Jackson who is an American artist with a new concept.

Jackson puts the theory to the test with this question: Is seeing really believing?

In fact her subjects in the book are celebrity look-alikes. Picture this: Brad Pitt shaving Angelina's legs or Jennifer Lopez having her bottom fluffed.

Jackson's work is causing quite a uproar because the lines between public life and private life have now become blurred. With the world going crazy for celebs, the public want to know more.

"Because we unquestioningly accept the authenticity of the photograph, it would appear that we are being given a glimpse of something confidential, a private moment. It is only upon closer examination that we question the reality of the image, and hopefully this makes us question our unwitting tendency to believe everything we see in the media today," the book's publisher says.

Enjoy these two pictures. They are my personal favourites.

Jennifer getting her bottom fluffed


and Britney getting some liposuction:

Christina's due date.

The “Beautiful” singer will be giving birth via cesarean section on January 10th, 2008 according to the New York Post. Reportedly, Christina and Jordan have been busy picking out names for their soon-to-be-born baby boy. So far they’ve come up with Jackson, Jake, and Max as options. It looks they are not going with anything outrageous as "Pilot Inspecktor".

The picture is of Christina celebrating her twenty seventh birthday with hubby Jordan Bratman. They kept it low-key going to dinner. Just the two of them. All together now, awww!

Update on the Jamie-Lynn pregnancy

Jamie-Lynn Spears pregnancy has been confirmed after Nickelodeon released this statement about on of their biggest stars:

“We respect Jamie Lynn’s decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn’s well being.”

The Nickelodeon actress, 16, is keeping the baby that she’s having with her live-in love, non-celeb Casey Aldridge, 19.

Jamie-Lynn is sixteen and has a live-in-lover. I wonder how Lynne Spears (Britney and Jamie-Lynn's Mum) feels?

In the space of a year her oldest daughter has been divorced, lost custody, in and out of rehab, shaved her head, had a breakdown and a less than stellar 'comeback' performance at the MTV's music awards. What a way to cap off a year to see her youngest daughter is pregnant at 16!

All together now: WHAT!

Look what I just came across!

As this goes to press, US OK's website www.okmagazine.com is too busy to get all the juicy details but I did get this:



Jamie-Lynn Spears, sister of Britney who is only sixteen is pregnant and keeping the baby. Make way for Spears breakdown number two!

It must be a deviated septum.

Well, Hollywood has found a new trend.

Get a nose job and say "It was because I had a deviated septum." I might believe Cameron Diaz considering the number of times she has broken her nose, but Jennifer Aniston and High School Musical star, Ashley Tisdale, come on!

Jen has already had a minor nose job before pre Friends. Ashley Tisdale had an interview with US People magazine declaring: “I didn’t do this because I believe in plastic surgery. I did this to help my health. I literally almost could not breathe out of the right side of my nose. I want my fans to know the truth. I’m not someone who is going to act like I had nothing done. I just want to be honest because my fans are everything to me.”

Let me guess, the next celebrity stating they got a nose job because of a deviated septum will be Ashlee Simpson.

Tony has a wandering eye

Eva Longoria Parker and Tony Parker look like they have already hit the rocks if this report is to be believed.

French model, Alexandra Paressant is saying that she recently had an affair with Tony Parker. She even goes on to say that they exchanged phone numbers at his wedding with the Desperate Housewives star.

Paressant released details claiming; she hooked up with the San Antonio Spur in Paris this past September, and then again in Texas in October.

Alexandra isn’t the most reliable source when it comes to integrity. She formerly dated Brazilian soccer player Ronaldhino, and spread rumors that his “all-night partying” during the 2006 World Cup led to Brazil’s loss.

Parker and Paressant are both French and only time will tell if these rumours are true or false.

Alba is carrying a little extra weight...

Baby weight that is!

It has just been confirmed that Honey actress, Jessica Alba is expecting her first child with on/off boyfriend Cash Warren.

Jess, 26 has been dating Cash, 28, since 2004 when they met on the set of Fantastic Four. Cash was working on the movie as a director's assistant.

The couple reportedly split up earlier this year citing their hectic work schedules, but got back together soon after. In the short time that they were apart, Cash had moved out and hooked up, which was publicised in the tabloids but Jess took him back.

Do you remember when those video's on TMZ featured Jess and Cash going into baby stores?!? I am guessing she has known since then and has successfully kept it out of the papparazzi's eye. Watch them swoon over her now.

Alba's representative Brad Cafarelli says, "I confirm that Jessica and Cash are expecting a baby in late spring, early summer." So in Australian terms expect to see the new Alba bub in late autumn early winter.

Strut your stuff

Last night on Channel 10 they aired the Victoria's Secret fashion show: What a show.
It was a good look about behind the scenes as well as the runway.
I also enjoyed the fact that they interviewed the main VS Models including Aussie Miranda Kerr.
An interesting fact about Kerr is she is the first Australian VS model. Most of the VS Models are brazilian. I thought this years show was lacking something, maybe Gisele Bunchen for instance!? It was the first show since Bunchen left VS.
These models make you want to work out they look so good. Its also refreshing to see how down to earth they are. There was no Naomi Campbell like behaviour!
They had live performances from Seal, Will.i.am and the recently re-grouped Spice Girls.
The Spice Girls sung "Stop" and even though they were very sexy in their millitary attire, "Stop" did not sound live!
To sum it all up Victoria's Secret runway show is not your average runway show. With everything that glitters to their wings, the show was one to remember.

Its the festive season: so are you jolly?

Well the countdown to Christmas is on.
It is 14 nights until Santa climbs down the chimey and comes to your lounge room - so are you in the 'festive mood' yet?
Personally I'm not. I don't know what is wrong with me - usually by this time, I'm wearing my Santa hat around, finished my Christmas present shopping and looking forward to the big day. However this year, I'm not that jolly.
I have put a christmas decoration on my desk and started my Christmas shopping yesterday but thats about it. Everyone I asked has nearly finished.
To get myself in the jolly mood my boyfriend, Joe and I went for a drive on Friday night to look at Christmas lights. It was great. It is good to see some people really get in the spirit of Christmas for all to enjoy. As soon as we drove to Starbucks to get a coffee - the spirit was gone and back to reality I came.
So I hope everyone is more spirited than I am.
Any ideas to get me in the festive mood!?

The reformed Spice Girls kicked off their world tour in Vancouver,British Columbia overnight.
The outfit/costumes were put together by Victoria's close friend, Roberto Cavalli.

Star-Struck!?

Lindsay Lohan and her rehab boyfriend Riley Giles have split.
Reports have come to the media suggesting he was 'over the Hollywood Hype'.
"Ri-Lo" is another relationship she can put on the belt.

With this relationship ending it has got me thinking: Can Hollywood stars have it all. We mere 'mortals' look at them with stars in our eyes. Look at the hysteria surrounding David Beckham's arrival in Sydney last week. I often get star struck. I was gob-smacked beyond belief a little over a month ago when on a Virgin Blue trip home to Sydney in a turbulence ridden flight I see Jodhi Meares get up to go to the bathroom. When we landed in Sydney, I was hitting my boyfriend in disbelief, analyzing everything about her. Her hair, dress sense etc but the biggest shock, that the ex Mrs Packer was on a budget flight from the Gold Coast to Sydney!
We often see stars heading to rehab, Linds being the perfect role model for the class of Rehab 2007.
Is pressure from the outside world (us) driving them to behave like this or are they that jolted from reality, that this (rehab, different boyfriends every season) is normal to them?

Let us know what YOU think!
