MTV events possess a lot of significance for Katy Perry and Russell Brand. It was during the VMAs in the year 2008 that sparks initially ignited between the couple, and one year later, following Brand presenting at the ceremony, they got together after Perry threw a bottle at Brand’s head backstage. Therefore it ought to be a nostalgic event for the couple that Brand has been introduced as the presenter of the MTV movie awards on Sunday, June 3rd, right before Russell’s 37th birthday.
As all of us know the comic filed for divorce right after Christmas and the prior happy pair, who became engaged only 3 months following that backstage bottle incident are estranged. Russell filed legal papers on December 30th following only fourteen months of marriage stating ‘irreconcilable differences.’ It was reported in January that 36-year-old Russell was ‘dis-invited’ from People’s Choice Awards, in order for Perry to avoid seeing him.
Russell, in February, additionally stayed away from the Grammy’s to permit Katy, who’d been nominated for Best Pop Solo performance and Record of the Year, to have a good time at the event and sing a good performance of Part of Me, her break up song.
Twenty-seven-year-old Perry was recently seen with guitarist of the band Florence + the Machine, Robert Ackroyd during the Coachella Music Festival. The reports and photographs of Katy’s new flame apparently sent Russell into a jealous rage.
However, he’s sustaining a friendship with Anouska De Georgiou that seems to contradict this behavior. As a matter of fact, Russell exhibits no signs of regret since the break up, and seems to be flowing from one success to another with his social life, television career and live performances. The live show is set to take place in Universal City, California at the Gibson Amphitheatre.
Life after Twilight is fabulous for Robert Pattinson. Perhaps too fabulous. Reportedly, he had put on ten pounds since the film wrapped, as a result of hitting the booze with friends and eating cheeseburgers. Insiders say that his girlfriend, Kristen Stewart wasn’t happy when he packed on the additional weight.
According to insiders, Stewart asked him to get himself together. Robert hates the gym, so she asked him to take up paddle surfing to attempt to work off the excessive calories. And you know what, it may sound a bit harsh, yet I am all for Kristen laying out the law here. If your significant other cannot tell you that it is time to begin shaping up, who can?
So Pattinson lost the weight and dropped back down to his regular size. He’s been working out a TON lately — and boy it shows! Robert is not pale and pudgy anymore! Earlier this month, television personality Wendy Williams criticized Pattinson’s body (who is she to talk?) and asked him to go to the gym and obtain a fake tan. Well, the twenty-five-year-old Twilight star must’ve taken her words to heart because Pattinson appeared fully toned and tanned as he stepped out at Coachella.
Alicia Hunter, author of The Accidental Diet and weight expert said that it really looks as if he has snapped out of that party mode and back into his discipline mode. She adds that Robert is young, so she bet it did not take a lot of work to get back that washboard waist all of those Twi-hards have come to love and know.
Alicia guessed that Robert has lost about ten pounds via a combination of exercise and diet. Alicia says he possibly reduced his empty carbohydrate intake and increased both his cardio and lean proteins. He absolutely appears as if he has been running on the beach and catching a few waves, as well as a shave! (Thank goodness)!
Adele must be on cloud nine right now: the hot singer received a collection of rather plush Chanel handbags from designer Karl Lagerfeld after he said that she was ‘a little too fat’. According to sources he ordered his team to send Adele the best collection of bags that Chanel has to offer.
Ever since the Creative Director of Chanel made the not-so-smart comment to a French magazine, he’s been grovelling non-stop to the 23 year old. Lagerfeld said to be ‘annoyed with himself’ for unleashing such a narrow-minded comment made earlier this year. He didn’t mean to insult the singer, as it was meant as a compliment….yeah right!
He continued with his lame excuse: ‘Sometimes when you take a sentence out of an article it changes the meaning of the thought. Adele is my favourite singer and I am a great admirer of her.’
Lagerfeld was a big bird once..... so maybe he should keep his mouth firmly shut!
However the comment (or compliment as Lagerfeld calls it) certainly didn’t go unnoticed, as it cause an uproar among fans (including Madonna), calling his choice of words ‘horrible’.
Does the Somebody Like You star care? I don’t think so- now that she’s getting a whole collection of glitzy handbags (and being a fan of Chanel bags, it worked out just fine!) But she responded to Lagerfeld’s statement during her recent interview with People’s magazine and here it is: ‘I represent the majority of woman and I’m very proud of that.’ (You tell him girl!)
But the German designer’s pitiful grovelling doesn’t end with offering up one of the world’s desirable handbags: Lagerfeld hopes to work with Adele somewhere in the future.
I think that’s one to Adele………..and nil to Lagerfeld.
The new Sugababes should be afraid, very afraid! Mutya Buena, Siobhan Donaghy and Keisha Buchanan (better known as the original Sugababes) have recently signed a million pound contact with Ploydor Records, the home of manband Take That and Lady Ga Ga. Rumour has it that they are on the verge of unleashing a new album, after working on new material all year with high profile songwriters and producers.
Even singer Emeli Sande predicted that they’ll storm the charts.
However this spells one problem: the original band members will not be able to use the same, as it currently used by Heidi Range, Ameli Berrabah and Jade Ewen. The original babes have yet to decide on a name. If they get really stuck in that department, Tweeter is flooded with (surprisingly good) suggestions. One Tweeter user came up with KSM (Keisha, Siobhan, Mutya). Another user thought that they should go with T.R.T (The Real Thing). Not bad, eh?
Formed in 1998, the girl group had more changes in the line-up than Rihanna’s barnet (and that’s saying something!) Two years later, they had their first taste of success with the catchy debut single, Overload, which peaked at number six in the UK singles charts.
The ever changing line up started back in 2001, when Siobhan left the group and a fresh-faced Heidi Range (centre) took her place.
By 2005 Mutya decided to call it a day and in comes Amelle Berrabah (pictured on the left.)
Then by 2009, the last of the original Sugababes, Keisha left (or some might say pushed out) the group and her replacement was the Eurovision contestant Jade Ewen (pictured on the left.)
After the final departure of the original babe, the magic has disappeared like a thief in the night (if you know good music, then you know it’s the truth!)
Let me step away from my soap box…..It’s your chance to have your say. Do you think the ‘old’ babes will outshine the ‘new’ babes? Answers below please!
So what makes Kate Winslet want to reach for the sick bucket? Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On. The poor 36 year old actress was haunted by Titanic theme for 15 years– but now the sex kitten couldn’t hold her tongue no more. The shocker came from her recent interview with MTV, whilst promoting the 3D version of the 1997 epic film (which earned her a second Oscar nomination and not to mention the international fame!). The British treasure admitted that the heartfelt song has ‘finally worn thin.’
Check out her confession to MTV News: ‘I feel like throwing up when I hear it. No, I shouldn’t say that. No, actually, I do feel like throwing up. ’I wish I could say, “Oh listen, everybody! It’s the Celine Dion song!” But I don’t. ’I just have to sit there, you know, kind of straight-faced with a massive internal eye roll.’
I wonder how Celine Dion feel about Kate’s out-of-the-blue comment! Of course, the voice behind the song has a very different view. Here’s what she said about the song: “My Heart Will Go On is the one for me – a classic. And to be a part of a classic is something I feel very proud of.” Well, did you really expect her to say anything else?
Contrary to Ms Winslet harsh comments, the 1997 song remained in the charts for 20 weeks in the UK charts and has become one of the best-selling songs of all times. However Kate is not alone with her views, as The Rolling Stone magazine has voted the tear-jerking melody as one of the worst songs of the 90’s.
So what do you think? Is the Titanic theme an all time favourite love song or (like Kate) does it make you want to reach for the sick bag? Answers below please!
BTW: if you can’t decide, take a look at the video below:

When my strength was gone, and I just gave up on life
In my darkest place you were my guide
And you told me that I should live my life to the limit
When you fall down get back up and fight
Well the shape of my heart don’t lie
I’m determined when you trust in me
It’s all I need
Now I’m hoping, if you hear this
You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Make me stronger, so that I rise up
Made my mind up
So that all that I do is to make you proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud
I never gave up then cause you said keep hope alive
The champion gives one last try
Said I deserve the best in life
I should be winning
Gotta spread your wings and prepare to fly
Well the shape of my heart don’t lie
I’m determined with your faith in me
To make you see
Now I’m hoping, if you hear this
You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Make me stronger, so that I rise up
Made my mind up
All that I do is to make you proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud
Nobody can tell me they were there for me
Before you came around
There was pain in every heart beat
But eventually you built my reserve to be strong
Now I’m hoping, if you hear this
You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Now I’m hoping, if you hear this
You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Make me stronger, so that I rise up
Made my mind up
All that I do is to make you proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud

As the career is on the up in the US, Hell’s Kitchen Gordon Ramsey did the next best thing: he splashed out on a luxurious family-friendly mansion in the most affluent area in Los Angeles.
The 5 bedroom property, costing a hefty $4.3 million, boosts a swimming (to be honest, no dream mansion is complete without one) surrounded by a well maintained garden, a superfly kitchen to fit a team of chief (well, you wouldn’t expect any less from a top-class chief!), an all-white jaw dropping hallway and a fanatic view overlooking the city.
As he is spending more and more time in the US, the foul-mouthed chief wants the perfect base for his wife, Tana and his four children.
By moving into the dreamland, Ramsay will be close to friends ‘Posh Spice’ Victoria and David Beckham. And what good friends they are- they helped the forty-something year old find the perfect roost. There’ll be no living out the suitcases for the Ramsays!
The business entrepreneur better move his stuff in quick, as he is due to launch the third series of US versionof Masterchief at some point this year. In addition to that his new show, Hell Hotel, starts next month. There’s no rest for the wicked as Ramsay will be also opening his new Las Vegas restaurant in this spring. Still, at least he can crash out in his new plush pad after a hard day’s work!
Despite their exciting move amongst the rich and famous, Ramsay and his wife will keep their home in London, where (it is believed) their kids will continue their education. Plus the other half has opened her first beauty salon, All About The Girl in Battersea, in South West London.
Three guesses what the celebrity chief said when he first clapped eyes on this goldmine- probably begins with an ‘F’.
You heard it hear FIRST:
Adele Adkins swept this weekend’s Grammy Awards with an unsurprising yet incredibly gratifying command. Six gongs in all ties her both Beyonce and fellow Brit Eric Clapton for the most awards received by a female and UK act, respectively. What’s next for our girl?
Adele + Sir Paul: Listen up boo. He might know a thing or two about sustaining your career 
SHE’s TAKING A FIVE YEAR BREAK from the industry!
This just in: the above statement was just a bit of the golden-lunged chanteuse’s trademark tongue in cheek. She casually shot off the remark during a charming, revelatory interview with Vogue magazine, now available on newsstands. “Five years? More like five days!” said Adele, as an alteration of how long she’ll be breaking from the crazy music biz.
New Beau Simon: you better treat her right, boy
In the meanwhile, the newly coronated songstress is shacking up with new love Simon Kinecki. She’s expressed desires to focus on her new relationship and eventually mine a “happy love record” from their mutual adoration — meaning NO MORE BREAKUP ALBUMS from Adele (good at them though she is) and — crossing our fingers! — no more numeric titles! 19, 21, enough love, let’s head to the ABCs now shall we? LOL.
Via the Daily Mail, we’ve also learned that Adele is getting brand new mansion digs: the better to give each of her Grammy sextuplets one room each! (Aww, Adele love’s her gold, doesn’t she?)
No more "Chasing Pavements:" Adele's new countryside digs
She’ll relocate to a grand mansion in the Home Counties, located in England’s southwestern side, more specifically in a beautiful pasture of West Sussex. Official real estate pros categorize the estate as “grade II,” meaning that the building wields particular interest deemed worthy of rigorous preservation.
Amenities for Adele’s new spot include: a tennis court, an indoor swimming pool, an OUTDOOR swimming pool, and Anderson Cooper. Oh wait — our bad, he was just the foxy lad who just interviewed Adele on 60 minutes last week. (Did we forget to call Anderson foxy? Oh no, we did. Just checking xo)
"Rumour Has It" you want to get fit?! One of Adele's TWO swimming pools!
So a tennis court and two pools, Adele? What, you tryna lose weight on us? You are BEAUTIFUL my darling. Don’t you lose one damn pound of lusciousness. Any man that dare mock your voluptuous curves deserves our fullest rage — that means YOU, emaciated fool Karl Lagerfeld! P. YOU.!
Once Adele settles in, we’re sure that plans to release the fourth — and last — “21″ single will swing into full gear. “Rumour Has It” that this tune will follow suit with the previous three hits and rock straight to #1, yet again.
Loves ya, Adele! Boyfriend Simon — you better treat her right, homeboy!!
