One of my favourite things about the British celebrity culture is their voracious consumption of and commenting on, the Royal family. Particularly as all the little Princes and Princesses, Lords and Ladies, Dukes and Duchesses grow up and get themselves into all sorts of trouble. Which, lets face it, their parents before them did as well, there just wasn’t the internet to spread it virally. Nowadays, Prince Harry gets hauled over hot coals every time he opens his mouth (to, potentially, insert a bong into it and/or defend his choice of costume at one of his uber cool pal’s parties) and … well … it’s really only Harry to routinely makes the headlines, unless public concern over William’s balding nudges Harry’s flirtations with Natalie Imbruglia off the front page. Although, William does confound royal watchers with his will he/won’t he marital dance with Kate Middleton. Pragmatic William seems to be a man who likes to keep his options open, and the big question is, of course, will Kate wait?
So today, Royal watchers are abuzz with news Freddie Windor’s fiancé (Freddie being the son of the Prince and Princess Michael of Kent) has starred in an erotic film, a crime for which the love of Prince Andrew’s life, Koo Stark, was banished from the palace forever, in the early 80s. Actress Sophie Winkleman took a starring turn in Love Live Long, a cryptically titled film designed to test the boundaries of love, sex and morality. Winkleman, however, doesn’t have sex in the film. Repeat, no sex.
The greatest fear, of course, is that the film, shot last October, will be released to coincide with the royal nuptials, to cunningly cash in on publicity. One has to suspect Winkleman’s blossoming career wouldn’t suffer from said publicity – thus, could the next scandal the Daily Mail uncovers be a secret campaign from Winkleman to get her saucy flick released the day she ties the knot? Only time will tell.
In other highlights …
Peter Andre and Jordan continue their assault on America. I am torn between giving them my blessing to relocate to LA, where they absolutely belong, or wanting them back in England, home of the chav. No need to come back to Australia Peter. No need.
Jennifer Aniston showed up to the London premiere of Marley and Me in a beautiful strapless number that has inspired a torrent of envy in me. She was later spied with a black blazer on, prompting an article from the Daily Mail suggesting she may have found the weather a touch chilly. This could be seen as a reasonable assumption.
Coty will launch Halle Berry’s fragrance in the states this week. Halle by Halle Berry is the fruition of a long held desire to create her own fragrance after years of mixing and matching other perfumes, as we’ve heard from SJP, J-Lo, Kylie, Gwen, Mariah, Britney, Christina, Kate yadda yadda yadda. More aptly, it is also the fruition of being Halle Berry.
Speaking of celebrities and their uniform desire to create signature scents (could it be a form of narcissism?) Kate Moss has released her third fragrance, a summer version of her debut effort, Kate. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am highly doubtful of the fact Kate Moss, when faced with the choice of dousing herself in Kate and Chanel, goes for Kate. Just a hunch.
Freida Pinto is officially Hollywood’s new Darling. As if further proof was needed, she is now nestled snugly under the wing of one Scarlett Johansson (who, for the record, looked strange at the Milan fashion shows). The Daily Mail ponders the great likelihood Freida was pumping Scar-Jo for tips on being Woody Allen’s muse.
Photos of Kate Holmes looking ‘haggard’ and ‘frail’ are doing the rounds of the celebrity blogs. In layman’s terms, that’s ‘without make up’ and ‘probably a bit tired.’
And Amy Winehouse is back in London after apparently wreaking havoc on her first class flight home from St. Lucia. She allegedly had to be pried off a man who she attacked for ‘giving her looks’. God I wish I’d been there.
Kate Moss could have been very successful had she not been so addicted to drugs.”,.
even if Kate Moss is short, she has that unique pretty face*,.
