Is Drew Barrymore Pregnant?

Rosemina Nazarali — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:37:16 +0000

Recently engaged Drew Barrymore might be expanding her family very soon! The actress was seen leaving a doctor’s office over the weekend with a sonogram in hand.

While nothing has been confirmed nor denied, a source close to Barrymore and her fiance, Will Kopelman, says the couple definitely has kids in their future

"Drew is so motherly," the source said. "Will would like to be a dad. Family is so important to him."

Recent images of Barrymore suggest that the actress has been making attempts to wear loose-fitting clothing. Although, her usual style doesn’t veer too far from the bohemian look.

At the launch party for Marni’s H&M line, the actress was asked about her search for a wedding dress. “Oh, gosh, I don’t know! I’ve been trying to figure it out! All I know is that I want something tasteful, something timeless,” Barrymore replied.

What makes this all the more interesting is that when Barrymore’s rep was asked about a possible pregnancy, the rep simply replied with “no comment.”

Barrymore and Kopelman got engaged over the holidays. This would be the first child for both of them.

Do you think Barrymore has a bun in the oven?

Whitney Houston's Items For Auction

Anne T. Donahue — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:56:49 +0000

If you've always wanted a Whitney Houston dress and/or jewellery, you may be in luck if you're willing to pay a few thousand dollars.

According to The Huffington Post, Whitney Houston's black velvet dress and a pair of earrings she wore in The Bodyguard will be up for auction next month, and will be included with the likes of Charlton Heston's staff from The Ten Commandments, Clark Gable's jacket from Gone With The Wind and Charlie Chaplin's cane.

Whitney Houston's pieces will be auctioned off by celebrity auctioneer Darren Julien, who cites these items as "an investment." As for whether he thinks it's in poor taste to begin auctioning off Whitney Houston's belongings so soon after her death? Julien doesn't believe so.

"It's a celebration of her life," he said. "If you hide these things in fear that you're going to offend someone - her life is to be celebrated. These items . . . become a part of history. They should be in museums. She's lived a life and had a career that nobody else has ever had."

You can say that again. But regardless of how timeless these pieces may be, it still seems too soon to begin profiting off of Whitney Houston's passing. Especially since the dress is expected to earn a couple thousand dollars.

Here's hoping that despite the temptation to pocket the money, the profit from Whitney Houston's pieces go to a charity or a better cause.

Lindsay Lohan To Host SNL

Anne T. Donahue — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:52:30 +0000

After a year of Playboy shoots, questionable court appearances and probation gone awry, Lindsay Lohan is going to make her television comeback after it was announced this weekend that she will host Saturday Night Live.

Scheduled to appear on March 3, Lindsay Lohan last hosted SNL in 2006, and nobody is more excited about this development than her mother, Dina.

"Lindsay Lohan is coming back to Satuday Night Live yay!!!" she said. To which Lindsay Lohan responded, "I love you so much mommy!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy you're here with me #mom.com."

And as Dana Carvey's Church Lady used to say, "Isn't that special." Clearly, a Lindsay Lohan comeback would be a dream for Dina Lohan, who's always warmed to the spotlight her daughter's created. This would also boost Lindsay Lohan's career, since she's been booted off the Lovelace movie project, and managed to make only tabloid headlines in 2011.

But the bar has been set high. After Maya Rudolph's SNL appearance this weekend was cited as the best episode in recent memory, she'll be a tough act to follow. Here's hoping Lindsay Lohan will channel her circa-2004 self when she reminded everyone why she deserved to be on the big screen.

Jessica Simpson to Appear on ‘The Biggest Loser’

Rosemina Nazarali — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:48:43 +0000

Jessica Simpson is joining forces with weight-loss reality show, The Biggest Loser, to help bring a bit of high fashion to the shrinking competitors.

Appearing on the March 13th episode, one contestant will win the chance to go on a shopping spree with Simpson herself and have the opportunity to share the prize with another lucky contestant. The prize-winners will get a private tour of Simpson’s very own showroom and get their pick of anything they want from her clothing, skincare and handbag collections.

“I was so happy when I was asked to help style two contestants from The Biggest Loser. I am truly inspired by how hard these contestants worked to accomplish their goals for a healthy lifestyle,” Simpson said. “It was so much fun seeing them try on clothes they would have never fit into before and feeling sexy. We had an amazing day together!”

After her episode of The Biggest Loser airs, Simpson will continue her return to reality television with the premiere of Fashion Star. Simpson will help mentor 14 aspiring fashion designers alongside Nicole Richie and John Varvatos, with Elle Macpherson as the host. The designers will be competing for a multi-million dollar grand prize that will go towards starting their very own fashion label which will be featured at H&M, Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue.

You can see the momma-to-be on The Biggest Loser and Fashion Star on March 13 on NBC.

Are you excited to see Jessica Simpson return to reality television?

Marni For H&M Collection Photos Released

Anne T. Donahue — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 15:56:39 +0000

One of the most highly-anticipated designer-for-chain store endeavours, photos of the Marni for H&M collection have finally been released.

Ranging from print silk shirts to metallic wooden-heeled shoes to oversized floral necklaces, sources like Vogue UK call Marni for H&M one of the most "coveted high street collection ever."

And fashion fanatics aren't the only ones looking forward to the offerings of Marni for H&M: director Sofia Coppola is responsible for the Marni for H&M film starring Imogen Poots, who she's declared to be the "natural choice" for the role.

"I think she's great," said Coppola. "She can convey so much without speaking. I was happy to first talk to H&M about this project because I've never really done anything around fashion - and when they told me it was Marni, it sounded like an interesting project."

Of course, now that us lowly commoners have gotten a chance to check out the Marni for H&M collection (online, at least), we can understand what Sofia Coppola meant when she said "interesting."

"The prints are unusual," Coppola said of the Marni for H&M collection. "It doesn't look like anything else. So I wanted to do something artful that represented Marni, and because there are so many bold prints we needed a setting that worked."

And as of March 8, Marni for H&M can be all ours.

Did Chris Brown guest on Rihanna's New Track?

Anne T. Donahue — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:58:48 +0000

Well let the controversy continue: after producers of Rihanna's new track, "Birthday Cake" promised a "shocking" addition, it turns out that little +1 may be none other than Chris Brown.

Yikes.

With producers promising to release the Rihanna (and now Chris Brown) track this week, this will only add to the face-palms felt by everyone watching the Grammys - or more specifically Chris Brown's Twitter, when he went on a rampage just a few days back. (The tweets have since been deleted.)

Saying haters could "hate all they want" because "he has a Grammy now" (plus a whole lot of other colourful language), Chris Brown seems to feel nothing for the situation that's earned him so much negativity. But reports say that Rihanna has forgiven the singer, who pleaded guilty to assaulting her before the Grammys in 2009.

The choice to make the Chris Brown/Rihanna "comeback" song "Birthday Cake" makes even more sense after TMZ previously reported that Chris Brown was at Rihanna's birthday party and asked guests to sign confidentiality agreements.

What a guy. It's time for Rihanna to freeze him out already.

Adele’s Ex-boyfriend Who Inspired Her Album “21” Revealed

Rosemina Nazarali — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:07:32 +0000

Meet Slinky Sunbeam, the man who inspired Adele’s heartbreaking album 21. Sunbeam is the ex-boyfriend that is so widely sung about in Adele’s 21 album, so it is surprising that a photo of him hasn’t surfaced before now.

Sunbeam is a musician and an actor, and is also known as Slinky Winfield. The 25-year-old met Adele after she found success with her first album, 19, when they were introduced by mutual friends in London.

“Adele likes to keep part of her life back for herself, but it’s an open secret that Slinky was the guy who inspired 21,” a friend of Adele said. “It’s easy to see what attracted Adele to him. He’s a really popular guy, the life and soul of the party, and he’s a musician as well. But while Adele has the knack for writing songs which the whole world can tap into, Slinky’s material is more underground and kind of art-school trendy.”

According to the song “Someone Like You,” Sunbeam has since moved on to another lady after things with Adele didn’t work out. Adele always claimed that they simply grew apart, but apparently the real reason the pair broke up was because Sunbeam was getting a bit too close for comfort to Burberry model, Morwenna Lytton Cobbold. According to sources, Sunbeam is simply not the type of guy that can be tied down to one woman.

As for the man who inspired 19, the world is still waiting for him to surface. Although, he did try to get a bit of money off that album, claiming he is the reason why it sold so well.

Nowadays, Adele can be seen with her current beau, 36-year-old Simon Konecki, who has been married once and has a 5-year-old daughter.

Marc Jacobs Reportedly Uses Underage Models

Anne T. Donahue — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:52:59 +0000

In a year where underage models are coming under fire, Marc Jacobs raised eyebrows this week when he reportedly featured two 14-year-old models in his F/W 2012 show this week.

Not that he cares.

"I do the show the way it should be, and not the way somebody tells me it should be," Marc Jacobs defended. "If their parents are willing to let them do a show, I don't see any reason that it should be me who tells them they can't."

The young models Marc Jacobs sent down the catwalk were former Prada campaign star Ondria Hardin and Brazilian Thairine Garcia. Who, in his defense, are consumate pros.

"There are children actors and children models for catalogues and stuff, so if a parent thinks it's okay and a kid wants to do it, it's fine," Marc Jacobs continued.

Currently on the same page as Premier Model Management and Storm Model Management (who have recently fought back against allegations that the fashion industry mistreats models), Marc Jacob has obviously chosen not to abide by the CFDA rule that models be 16 years old. The rule, we should mention, is not actually mandatory.

Oh, fashion.

Emma Watson For Beauty and the Beast Lead

Anne T. Donahue — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:59:51 +0000

Emma Watson's post-Harry Potter career got off to the right start with her turn in My Week With Marilyn, and with Confessions Of A Wallflower coming out soon, she needed to round out her filmography with something a little more intense.

Enter: Beauty and the Beast, directed by Gullermo Del Toro, and Emma Watson who is in "final negotiations" for the lead role.

Written by Andrew Davies of the Bridget Jones series, the film will simply be titled Beast, and will probably lack Gaston, Lumiere and/or Cogsworth. However, considering Bridget Jones is famous for its witty premise and strong female lead, we can only hope that Emma Watson will be given a role that maintains the same.

The face of Lancome, Emma Watson walked the red carpet recently donning a red lace dress and matching red lipstick. And if you remember her talking about the campaign, it was the red lipstick she was most excited to design: "It was probably the product I was most excited about when I came aboard Lancôme," she had said. "I actually chose the color that I wore in shoot, which is a really bright red."

Maybe it's time to give Beauty and the Beast's modern-day heroine a little edge with some red lips, then.

Adele Wins Big at the Grammys

Rosemina Nazarali — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:53:01 +0000

Last night was the perfect ending to the success of Adele’s sophomore album, 21. While the night was full of somber artists mourning the death of of one of their own, Whitney Houston, Adele was celebrating Grammy wins.

The singer was nominated for six awards last night and managed a clean sweep, taking all six of those awards with her. Her awards included Song of the Year for “Rolling in the Deep,” Record of the Year for “Rolling in the Deep,” Best Short-Form Video for “Rolling in the Deep,” Best Pop Vocal Album for 21, Best Pop Solo Performance for “Someone Like You,” and Album of the Year for 21.

Adele became the sixth artist to win six awards at one Grammy Awards show, and at 23, she is also the youngest to snag the top three awards. She’s now tied with Beyonce for the most Grammy wins by a woman, and with Eric Clapton for the most Grammy wins by a British singer. Not too shabby.

“This record is inspired by something that is really normal and everyone’s been through it, which is a rubbish relationship,” Adele said during her acceptance speech. “And it’s gone on to do things that I can’t tell you how I feel about it, it’s been the most life-changing year.”

For the few who weren’t familiar with Adele, they got a sneak peak of it during her performance of “Rolling in the Deep.” This was the singer’s comeback performance after having throat surgery, and it seems the doctors did a great job because she was given a standing ovation.

While a break-up album seemed to work wonders for Adele, she confesses she will never pour her heartbreak into her work again.

“I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way,” she said in the Grammy press room. “I’m done with being a bitter witch.”
