A very Bond suprise October 7, 2008
The Daily Mail UK (one of my fav gossip sites) is reporting that new Bond girl Gemma Arterton, who’ll be starring opposite Daniel Craig in the upcoming “Quantum of Solace” flick, was born with six fingers on each hand.
She was apparently operated on as a very young child, in order to have the extra appendages removed, but she still has little bumpy scars to remind her.
Crazy!
The Daily Mail also recently revealed, in a total spoiler, how Gemma’s character will die in the next Bond film. I won’t let the cat out of the bag, but it has something to do with this:
Other than the shit theme song co-written by Alicia Keys and the White Stripes’ Jack White, I’m really pleased with the direction the Bond conglomerate has been heading lately. I will always have a spot in my heart (and bed, let’s be honest) for Pierce Brosnan, but I never really believed he could kick some undercover ass. Daniel Craig, on the other hand, is entirely believable. He’s more of a Roger Moore type of Bond – rough around the edges, not formulaicly handsome, and, well, ROCK DIESEL. Gemma is also not a standard beauty. Her body obviously has that tall, leggy Geena Davis thing happening. But her face is a little quirky, and to me that makes her a) a more interesting character, and b) MORE beautiful.
So, you know, good work Bond Enterprises. Good work. (Now get a new theme song, and pronto!)
Stars come out for Women In Hollywood Tribute October 7, 2008
The ladies really came together last night for Elle magazine’s 15th annual Women in Hollywood Tribute. Some of them were as fashion fabulous as always, while others were … not. Let the glamour begin:
“HOT” COUTURE:

Halle Berry. The dress is a bit unusual, and not doing amazing things for her post-Nahla tummy. That being said, it's a beautiful silhouette, something the red carpet hasn't seen, and - of course - she's pulling it off.
NOT COUTURE:

It's not so much that I hate this dress as that I hate Nicolette Sheridan. She has such a nasty, conniving face. She also doesn't know how to carry herself. No matter what she's wearing, it reads "I'm a cougar. I'm still sexy. Do me!" Gross.

Ok - this one is totally the dress' fault. I love Jenny McCarthy, but there is too much happening on this dress. It looks she intercepted some curtains bound for a Victorian museum somewhere. Suffocating and overly elaborate.



Christina Aguilera has been looking like a TRANNY. October 5, 2008
Christina, what is going on with your makeup lately? You look. Like a tranny.
I guess I’m not THAT surprised though. Miss Chris is not exactly known for her subtle fashion sense. Remember this?
I miss smokin’ hot Christina. Come back mami!
Seal just came out with a new album of covers, and it’s AWESOME. October 3, 2008
Remember Seal? “Kiss from a Rose” Seal, or “Crazy” Seal? Well, he’s coming out with a new album of covers, produced by Warner Brothers, and he just dropped the video for the first single. It’s a sick cover of Sam Cooke’s classic hit Change is Gonna Come. Boy can SING!
I can’t wait to see THIS full spread. October 3, 2008
Lily Cole just posed for French playboy, in a take on 60s style. It’s sort of a Twiggy meets Pink Ladies (Grease) vibe, don’t you think?
As a famous international supermodel, this is definitely not the first time this sexy Brit has gone the full monty. She surprisingly voluptuous, isn’t she?
Oh, Karl Lagerfeld. October 1, 2008
Only Dita could pull this off… October 1, 2008
Gorgeous, glamorous, and totally her own woman, Dita Von Teese rocks the red carpet at the Patrick DeMarchelier Exposition in Paris, France (9/29/08).
Although you know she had a front-row seat, and was calmly preventing everyone behind her from seeing the show. Oh well. I guess that’s your right when you put in that much work being fabulous for the world’s entertainment.
Update: More Dita at Paris’ fashion week. Here she is at the Gaultier show.
Anne Hathaway is so freaking beautiful! October 1, 2008
Anne Hathaway appeared on the David Letterman Show in NYC yesterday, looking stunning as always.
Looks like she got a little embarassed when Letterman quizzed her about her 30-year old ex-boyfriend, conman Raffaello Follieri. He was arrested on suspicion of fraud this past June, and pleaded guilty to 14 charges just three months later.
I’m sure she’ll get a chance to have some cathartic closure this weekend though, when she’ll be hosting Saturday Night Live. You can bet I’ll be tuning in to THAT!
