J-Dilla Concert

J-Dilla

Sunday night, was a night in tribute to the late J-Dilla, the super Hiphop producer.

The event, J-Dilla Changed My Life, was held at Scala in London packed with excited fans eager to hear J-Dilla's hiphop tracks, performed by DJs Shortee Blitz, Mr Thing & Harry Love, DJ Spin Doctor and many more.

J-Dilla was one of the music industry's most influential Hip-Hop artists, working with big name acts like Busta Rhymes, Common and De La Soul.

Just as his music was becoming increasingly popular, he died in 2006, three days after his 32nd birthday, of the blood disease Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic purpura and possibly Lupus.

Even though his last album, Donuts, (yumm my favourite!) was released in 2006, his fan-base is ever growing - take a look at the pictures by photographer, Ade, captured on the night...

Designer Alexander Mcqueen Found Dead

Alexander McQueen found dead...

So so sad to be reporting this news, but Alexander McQueen, British fashion designer has been found dead.  It's been reported the designer committed suicide - however, I am yet to believe this until a FULL statement has been released.  We all know how incorrect the media can be at reporting things (tut tut).

He was found dead at his home in London, aged 40.  His death comes just DAYS before the start of London fashion week and only a month before he was to unveil his brand new collection at Paris fashion week.

Naomii Campbell, Alexander & Kate Moss

His company, Alexander McQueen, issued a statement to the media saying:

"On behalf of Lee McQueen's family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand, has been found dead at his home. At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee's family.

Lee's family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this."

 Alexander and Sarah Jessica Parker

 

McQueen was a four-time winner of the British designer of the Year Award, as well as the International Designer of the Year Award.  

This is really awful news to hear of such an inspirational and talented British designer. RIP Alexander McQueen.

John Terry..Another Cheating Footballer *YAWN*

Sordid Football Love Triangle... 

Once upon a time there lived a Premiership footballer who earned loadsa money, was idoled by his entire country, married with kids....and got caught cheating on his wife.  

The end.

  Footballer John Terry & his wife, Teri in happier times

Hands up who doesn't know this story? Hands up whose BORED of this story already? Hmmmmm, me too! For those who don't know, let me re-cap in as few words as possible.

John Terry, who plays for Chelsea and former captain of England had an affair with his team-mates ex girlfriend, Vannessa Perroncel at the end of last year.

 John Terry & Wayne Bridges...bum chums celebrating victory...(if only he knew!)

What makes this story so SICKENING is that John Terry chose his team-mate, Wayne Bridges, ex bird Vanessa... The two footballers were very good friends and even John's wife and Vanessa were friendly, often going on holidays together...WOW talk about betrayal!

  Teri & Vanessa happily cheering on their men at a football game...(if only she knew!)

The story doesn't end here...oh no...it gets better. So Terry won a gagging order stopping the public learning about the affair.  Unlucky for JT, the injunction was lifted on the 29th January 2010.  JT thought by using the super-injunction under human rights laws he could claim media reporting the affair would breach his right to a "private and family life."

Vanessa, french-born lingerie model..apparently...

PUH-LEASE! Who is this dimwit trying to kidd?!  Private life + Footballer. There is no such thing!  Those two words are an oxymoron in itself.  As far as I'm concerned, all celebrities, sports-stars, politician or anyone else living in the public eye is open to scrutiny and media coverage GOOD & BAD. These "celebrities" can not pick and choose when and what is be to reported. This comes with the job...DEAL WITH IT!

All week, more allegations have emerged between the sordid affair.  It is alleged that Vanessa had an abortion within months of the affair starting - and  John paid for the termination.  Poor Teri, his wife, having NO idea her friend had terminated her husband's baby.

Teri & Vanessa happily shopping together (if only she knew!)

Apparently, there was a show-down between the ex-friends when Teri called Vanessa and told her, "Call yourself a friend? What sort of friend sleeps with their mates husband?" To which Vanessa's response was that Teri had in fact not been a friend to HER.  She claimed that Teri hadn't even bothered to contact her when her ex, Wayne, broke up with her. As far as Teri was concerned, Vanessa, was no longer with a footballer therefore no longer a WAG and out of her circle of friends. MEOW!!!!!

Vanessa with WAGS during Euro 2006...now they have all kicked her out of the WAG clique

Even more gossip has been released about Vanessa bedding even more footballers.  It was rumoured that Vanessa would be revealing her side of the story to one of the Sunday papers.  She even hired PR Guru Max Clifford to represent her. However the homewrecker, lady decided to keep some ounce of dignity and keep her silence.  She was reportedly paid off by Terry instead in a deal worth about £800,000, more than any newspaper would ever pay for a kiss and tell.  Nice work if you can get it eh?

Max Clifford PR Guru reading out statement with Vanessa

Unlucky for John Terry, he was sacked as England Captain and replaced by vice captain Rio Ferdinand instead.  Looks like England Coach, Capello, was NOT pleased with his behaviour off pitch and had to show Terry he didn't stand for nonsense.  

Little too late for tears Terry

Let's have a thought for Vanessa and Wayne Bridges poor child.  The innocent party in all of this mess.  She claims the reason she DIDN'T sell her story is because she doesn't want to cause upset and disturbance to her son's life. Bull!  Maybe she should have thought of that before she began an affair with her son's husband's team-mate! Silly sausage.

Vanessa and Wayne in happier times..apparently she wants him back..FAT CHANCE!

Kim K & Reggie Bush Celebrate Victory

Kim & Reg celebrate his team's win

Kim Kardashian was first in line to congradulate her boyfriend, Reggie Bush, after his team New Orleans Saints won the NFL Super Bowl yesterday.

Twitter went crazy with NFL tweets. I for one have no clue to the rules of American football.  I didn't even realise who was playing until some of my friends on Twitter kindly took the time to explain the rules of the game.

DJ Swiss Beats, Boxer Lennox Lewis, retired basketball player Scottie Pippen and Kim & Reggie

Reggie's winning team, New Orlean Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami. Unlike the NFL wives who wore jerseys with their hubbys/boyfriends football team, Kim went the other way (thank goodness!) and decided to keep it simple yet sweet with jeans, heels a black top and blazer.  Apparently she is superstitious about wearing the team shirt. Well done Saints!

Kim & her mum, Kris

 

Peter Andre Breaks Down on TV...

With news breaking out that Katie Price married Alex in Las Vegas, it was only a matter of time before Peter Andre was going to air his views on the matter...

Live on Sky News, Peter Andre broke down in tears during his interview.  The singer, who was already booked to appear and promote his new album became visably angry when asked by newsreader, Kay Burley, about Katie's decision to marry Alex Reid.

But it was the questions about his children that REALLY got to him.  Kay showed a videoclip of Katie's ex and father to Harvey, Dwight Yorke, saying that he was not happy that Peter wanted to adopt Harvey when they got married.

Kay then asked Peter how would he feel if Alex did the same and tried to adopt his children, now that Alex and Katie were married.  He exclaimed that nobody will takes his children from him.  And that's when the tears were released...*sob*

After a few seconds, Peter realized his emotions and apologized, saying that he didn’t expect those kinds of questions. When Kay tried to change the subject to his tour, he just told her that he didn’t want to talk anymore and requested the interview be over.

Were these tears brought on at the thought of having his children adopted by another man? Or perhaps the fact that Kay embarrassingly showed Peter up? If Peter could consider adopting Harvey then why couldn't Alex? Perfectly normal question to ask a man.  I mean, he HAS also considered this option himself hasn't he?

Hmmmm, interesting....thoughts!?  See for yourself below!

Katie Price Marries Alex in Las Vegas Wedding!

                                     Katie & Alex

                                             

Rumours are circulating that Katie ‘Jordan’ Price and Alex Reid got married in Las Vegas last night - just days after he won Celebrity Big Brother.

Apparently, the pair tied the knot in Las Vegas at the Wynn wedding chapel with TV cameras and photographers in attendance.  Allegedly, Kate has already sold the story in a magazine deal worth up to £1 million. 

Peter Andre, who only divorced Katie last September, has already had his say about the marriage saying, “I’ve thought about this, all of this morning, and I thought as long as they’re a positive influence on my kids that’s all I care about. If they’re happy great, it’s none of my business.”

REALLY Pete? He must be absolutely reeling. First Alex wins Celebrity Big Brother, then the guy marries his ex-missus.  How does it feel Pete?!? :-)

Beyonce Sweeps the Grammys!

This year's Grammys was all about Beyonce Vs Taylor Swift.  With Kanye West already adding fuel to the fire (his infamous interruption speech!) yesterday night put any answers to rest who was the better artist.  So who won?

Taylor Swift won 4 awards making her the youngest ever Grammy winner.  But Beyonce, stole the show winning a record SIX Grammy awards.  Well done B! :-)

Beyonce accepting one of her 6 awards

Now on to the important stuff...FASHION! My faves of the night were several of the nude coloured gowns.  Beyonce's was designed by Stephane Rolland.  Not only did it enhance all those curves but the colour really suited her skintone.  Plus I loved the earrings too! 

Katy Perry arrived with her fiance Russell Brand, she wore a floral nude and gold gown b y Zac Posen.  I especially loved the exposed back and long sleeves. Russell didn't look to bad himself, though I wish dude would've shaved before exposing that hairy chest of his...eeeeeeeeek!

 

Russell Brand & Katy Perry

If you have legs as long as Heidi Klum they why hide them in a long drape looking gown? I'm glad she didn't! And instead, opting for a nude Emilio Pucci minidress.  I loved the sparkles on it she looked really good and the shoes are equally as nice too..go Heidi! :-) 

 

 Heidi & Seal

Keri Hilson went very old school Hollywood glam and chose a strapless mermaid gown pink gown by Dolce & Gabbana.  Mary J Blige wore a hot fushia Gucci dress, I loved her accessories, the earrings, bracelet and clutch bag complimented the outfit well.

Keri Hilson and Mary J Blige

Miley Cyrus kept it a little boring, if not safe with a black number by Herve Leger (though I did love her shoes!) And Fergie looked stunning in a cobalt blue Emilo Pucci mini-dress.  Dark locks really suit her! 

 

Miley Cyrus & Fergie

Jennifer Hudson looked beautiful in a Victoria Beckham dress and Keri Underwood looked lovely in a Georges Charka gown.  I really liked both of these singers hair, tres bien to their hairdressers! :-)

J-Hud and Carrie Underwood

J-Lo and Rihanna kept it all white on the night for the Grammys.  RiRi wore a girlie featured Elie Saab gown while J-Lo wore a silver chain-mail dress with a white chiffon overlay..one word - interesting!!!

J-Lo & RiRi

Disasters of the night had to be Britney Spears and Lady Gaga.  What the heck were they thinking turning up to  a prestigous event like the Grammys in this?  Britney, I don't care if its D&G, that sheer black bodysuit wouldn't even flatter the world's skinniest supermodel.  And Lady Gaga, I don't care if you've won two awards, no one has the right to walk around with a spikey headpiece.  You could seriously injure someone with that weapon on your head.  Fashion is not dangerous!  Two words..HOT MESS!

  

Britney & Lady Gaga

Most awkward moment of the night went to Beyonce and Celine Dion and...Beyonce and Rihanna!  First awkward encounter was when Beyonce realised that she and Celine were wearing the same gown....cringe! Well at least they posed for a picture together like it wasn't a big deal (even though it soooooooooo is! lol)

Celine Dion & Beyonce in the same gold dress

Then Beyonce and Rihhana were seen together eyeing up each other's outfits.  It is the most staged picture i've ever seen in my entire life. I guess you can't like everyone huh?!
