Fashion At the Baftas

Don't shoot me but I have a confession...I didn't actually watch the BAFTAS *shock horror*! I missed the red carpet event (did E! cover it??) which is always my favourite part of these award ceremonies. But I managed to get some great pics of the celebrities in their frocks/suits. It's a shame it was raining but this is an event held in the UK..it always rains!!! :-) Let me know which was your favourite!

Kirsten Stewart wore a frilly little Chanel dress with the strangest shoes - I couldn't work out if they were cute or cute but just not on her! Lovely Bones actress Saoirse Ronan wore a Burberry dress, matching the belt with her shoes.

Kate Winslet wore a Stella McCartney gown with a leg split and cut-out detail - quite daring for Kate's usual taste but I think it worked well. Joely Richardson wore a midnight blue Catherine Walker number - very red carpet indeed!

Vera Farmiga wore a beautiful white one-shoulder Marchesa dress. I especially loved the frilly detail and her choosing to do her hair up really showed off the dress. Claire Danes wore a gold drapy Burberry gown, very on trend but to be honest the colour, and the draping, kind of drowned her.

Audrey Tautou wore a pink Lanvin dress. Is it me, or does the dress need an iron?? Also, I wasn't too keen on the flimsy one shoulder either. It doesn't look like the dress is meant to be worn that way. The whole thing looks odd. Though I love the sparkly red shoes tres bien! :-) Jamie Winston wore the Hollywood glamour look well. I liked her Alexander McQueen gown and the fur coat and Marilyn Monroe hair do worked well with this look.

Tiger Admits He's Sorry

Tiger Woods at Sawgrass Golf Club today

Today, Tiger Woods issued a public statement to millions of viewers. This is the first time he has spoken publicly since allegations of affairs with at LEAST 12 women emerged.

It has been described by several media outlets, sports pundits and others as an "extraordinary" apology..and so it should!

Tiger talking to the world..finally!

The biggest sports-star in the world begged for forgiveness, announcing he will start a new life of "integrity". He admitted he had bitterly disappointed his family, friends and fans.

He leapt to his wife, Elin's defence, insisting she had never attacked him, like it had been reported by the media. Instead, he said that she should be praised for her "grace and poise" rather than be blamed. He said:-

I know I have bitterly disappointed all of you. I have made you question who I am and how I could have done the things I did. I am embarrassed I have put you in this position. For all I have done, I am so sorry. I have a lot to atone for."

Tiger apologising

In his statement, he said "sorry" several times acknowledging his behaviour as "selfish" and "foolish". He said:-

"I have let you down. I have let down my fans. For many of you, especially my friends, my behaviour has been a personal disappointment. For those of you who work for me, I have let you down personally and professionally."

Although his wife was not present, his mother was seated in the front row who he embraced after the 13 minute and a half public apology.

Personally, I think this was the best thing for Tiger to do. I have listened to media reports, journalists, PR gurus etc etc expressing their own opinions on the matter. Many have stated that Tiger should have had a Question & Answer press release or perhaps a Sit down interview with Oprah.

Are you outta your mind?! The man looked like he was struggling reading from his piece of paper - never mind being hounded by journalists. Letting him answer questions would be feeding him to a pack of wolves - the man could not ever handle that kind of intergration, even if it was from someone as sensitive or kind as Oprah.

This was the best move for Tiger - though in my opinion it was a little late. This should have been done at least one month ago. Although, would Tiger have agreed to this? Strangely the man still seems to believe that the press should leave he and his family alone. He was careful in his wording but he stressed that now he and his wife should be left alone to sort out their marriage problems.

What planet do you live on Tiger??!?? You are a sports-star living in the public eye - there is NO SUCH THING AS PRIVACY!!! If a celebrity, sport-star, politician or any other human being living in the public eye can not learn from Tiger Wood's situation, then they need a big REALITY CHECK.

Tiger Woods doing what he knows best

No amount of beauty, popularity, money, class or common sense will stop the media reporting scandals. The sooner these celebrities learn to deal with this - the better they will be at dealing with scandals.

Kate Moss Shed Tears for Alexander McQueen

Kate sheds a tear for Alexander McQueen

Last night, Kate Moss attended the Fashion for Relief Haiti charity show, organised by friend Naomi Campbell, at London's Somerset House.

She appeared in the catwalk show, modelling a dress from Alexander McQueen's last collection. She proudly put on a brave face, though it didn't last long when the dress was being auctioned.

She burst into tears when the dress was being auctioned, and had to be comforted by her friend, Topshop owner Phillip Green and other friend Annabelle.

The night was not all tears though. It was a star-studded night with Denise Van Outen, Dame Shirley Bassey, Girls Aloud singers Nicola Roberts and Kimberly Walsh, Alexandra Burke and even Gordon's wife, Sarah Brown attending. The event even managed to raise over 1 million - sure to put a smile on Kate's face.

I found a really nice one of Kate, Naomii and a friend of theirs Annabelle. They all look georgous in Alexander's dresses don't you think? See below for pics of the other celebs modelling in the fashion auction!

Footballer Cheats on Wife (Again!)

Ashely Cole and Cheryl Cole in happier times...

Ashley, Ashley, Ashley. What is wrong with you??? Once again, the papers have got wind that Chelsea footie star Ashley Cole has allegedly been cheating on his wife, Cheryl Cole.

The secretary...and the wife...good gosh Ashley what have you (allegedly!) done?!?

Apparently, he bedded a blonde secretary late 2008. She sold her story to the press and also supplied pics too...an image of Ashley Cole's torso in white boxers...*blank face*

The story broke just hours before Cheryl was due to perform at the BRITS..just the news you want to hear when you're due to perform on stage at one of the country's biggest musical events of the year. Perfect timing Ash! Not only was Cheryl's outfits she chose to perform in ill-fitting and unflattering but she her lip synching was 3 seconds behind the backing track. The performance, well put it this way, it wasn't her best. No thanks to her hubby's (alleged) cheating.

Cheryl's performance at the BRITS..truly AWFUL..poor lamb had loads on her plate so we'll forget it ever happened :-)

So what happens now? Who knows. This is the fourth allegation that has appeared in the papers about Ashley's alleged cheating. Firstly there were the gay stories with a famous DJ, then a hairdresser from sutton sold her story and now this. As Cheryl so rightly named her album "Three Words", Ashley Cole, 3 words for you..."SORT IT OUT!"

And just to remind both Ashley and Cheryl how much they are both worth...

These sports-stars eh??? You couldn't trust them as far as you could throw 'em!

Fashion at the BRITS 2010

Fashion was always going to be on top of the list along with the performances of course!

Lady G showed off her ecentric style with a white tiered gown and towering wig - would we expect anything less from the Queen of Flamboyant herself?! I really liked her lace outfit; daring, revealing, sexy and not at all subtle, it showed off a sexy side to Lady Gaga. Not just crazy!

Lady Gaga at the Brits..♥ outfit on the left..not so much for outfit on the right!

Leona Lewis wore a William Tempest futuristic silver foil dress teamed with barbie pink shoes - I think the look just worked! Pixie Lott wasn't so daring and stuck to all black Kate Halfpenny dress (bore!) with peep toe shoes which were very cute. Out of the two, whose outfit would you have picked?

Leona & Pixie

Courtney and Geri steered well away from black and kept it all beige and white on the night. Geri wore a lovely white dress and Courtney opted for, well a strange looking dress. I don't care if its Miu Miu Courtney, that look is just WRONG.

Courtney Love & Geri

There was more black on the red carpet with Kylie Minogue choosing a weird looking, gypsy style dress by Dolce & Gabanna. I like the long sleeves but the bottom half of the dress is just a bit too "gypsy/traveller" and not in a good way!!! Lily wore a black Chanel gown (bore!) I know she's the new Chanel muse and all, but doesn't mean you must wear EVERYTHING chanel..especially if its not cute!

Kylie and Lily..both outfits thumbs down me thinks.. :-(

The Sugababes all teamed up in Moschino for the night. I loved Amelle shoes and Jade's silver heels were equally just as nice too! To be honest I wasn't keen on the dresses. Amelle's is nice for a club but not an awards ceremony..Jade's creamy wrappy dress just looks odd and Heidi's black dress is fine..for a cocktail party! The cut-out sections on the side do try and make it "dressy" but it's just not "cutting" it! Nice dresses girls, just wrong occasion. Though I do all ♥ their shoes!

Sugababes..nice shoes - shame about the dresses ladies!

Cat Deeley wore Jimmy Choo heels..and apart from that I wasn't that much interested in what she wore! The dress is a little blah for me..not very memorable is it? Having said that, Alesha's dress wasn't exactly jaw-dropping either. It's another D&G number, though I quite like the length of the mini-dress and the dark grey sparkling colour makes a change from the boring black that dominated the red carpet this year at the BRITS. Thank goodness for Lady Gaga!

The BRITS 2010

What a night the BRITS were! Broadcast live on ITV, we all knew there was going to be some kind of drama, drunkard outburst and dodgy wardrobe malfunctions on the night.

Douchebag of the night went to Liam Gallagher. When accepting his award for "Best Album of 30 years" he told the crowd, "Let's go and take Class A drugs"....and then threw the mircrophone into the stage. Right...ok Liam!

Liam accepting his award on stage..twat

Thankfully host of the night, Peter Kay, was there to save the day describing him as, "What a knobhead" as soon as he left the stage! :-) When Liam found out, he did what any man who has been insulted with do, he took it to the streets of...Twitter...yep - he took it there..be scared Peter Kay!
