Tom Ford to show at London Fashion Week

Posted on by


Tom Ford is to show at London Fashion Week for the first time.

The designer is to showcase his new collection at 6pm on Sunday, September 18, unlike last season where he opted against a formal catwalk presentation in favour of intimate appointments with key members of the press.

Other designers to show for the first time at the British Fashion Council’s event include Teatum Jones – who will present their spring/summer 2012 collection on opening day – and Peter Jensen, who returns from a stint at New York Fashion Week.

Matthew Williamson, Giles Deacon, Burberry Prorsum, and Temperley London are among the other designers and fashion house who will present their new collections during London Fashion Week.

As well as showing at London Fashion Week for the first time, Tom is also preparing for the release of his first cosmetics collection.

Tom Ford Beauty’s first Cosmetics Collection – a complete range of make-up, skin treatments and luxury brushes – will be on sale in selected stores from September before a widespread launch in October.

Tom Ford Beauty President Caroline Geerlings told The Moodie Report: “The Tom Ford Beauty Collection was designed with the very discerning global luxury consumer in mind, and will only be available in highly-selective points of distribution.

“As this luxury consumer travels the world, the travel retail channel is an ideal way of connecting with her.”

Chris Colfer discovered Glee axe on twitter

Chris Colfer found out he was leaving ‘Glee’ through twitter.

The actor – who plays Kurt Hummel in the TV musical comedy – claims he only learned he and co-stars Lea Michele and Cory Monteith wouldn’t be returning after the third series on the social networking site.

He said of the axing: “I found out yesterday on Twitter. Yeah, I found out that they made that announcement. I didn’t necessarily know that it was going to be our last season next year, I knew something like that was coming up eventually. I mean, we can’t be there forever. I don’t necessarily want to leave so soon, but I mean, it’s fine.”

Although he will be sad to go, Chris will look back on the show with great pride.

He said: “It’s what it is. And all things come to an end. As a performer, I feel so fulfilled. I have two Emmy nominations and just from hearing from people out in the world about how much the character has helped people. If it’s time for a conclusion, I’m fulfilled with it, and I’m fine with it.”

Speaking about the decision creator Ryan Murphy – who insisted more characters will leave than stay – said: “We made that decision and I involved Chris and Lea and they thought that was a good idea. They both trust the writing and trust me and felt that it would be great to have an open and closed experience for them to go out while they were on top.”

Cory wasn’t consulted about the decision, but Ryan explained: “He knows he was a sophomore when the show started.”

Daisy Lowe to pose naked for Playboy

Daisy Lowe is set to appear naked in Playboy.

The 22-year-old model – who has previously posed for fashion publications Vogue and W – will strip off in an eight-page spread in the September edition of the iconic men’s magazine, which is set to be released on August 12.

Daisy – who is currently dating ‘Doctor Who’ actor Matt Smith – will travel to editor Hugh Hefner’s famous Playboy Mansion for the photo shoot.

The beautiful brunette – who is the daughter of musician-turned-designer Pearl Lowe and Bush rocker Gavin Rossdale – previously posed topless for the 2010 Pirelli Calendar and admitted she found the sexy shoot liberating.

She said: “It was quite freeing, being able to be naked for a week.”

Daisy has previously explained being “sexy” is a “big part” of her identity, and she believes it is empowering for women to be in control of their sexuality.

She said: “I suppose I’ve been very in touch with the ‘sexy’ thing since I was 15.

“I guess it’s a big part of my identity, something that I have learnt to switch into. It’s because I’m a girl’s girl. I’m not the bitchy girl who’s trying to make your boyfriend fancy me. The only reason I ever ‘do’ sexy is because I like to encourage women to feel sexy about themselves.”

Kate Hudson has named her new son Bingham Hawn.

The actress and her rocker fiance Matt Bellamy welcomed their little boy into the world on Saturday (09.07.11) and while his moniker was initially kept under wraps, the Muse frontman has now announced it.

Writing on his twitter page, he said: “So happy! Just had a baby boy, Bingham ‘Bing’ Hawn Bellamy. Mum and baby are strong and healthy. Mum was a warrior, Bing popped out after 4.5 hours of intense pushing!”

While it is not known where they got the idea of Bingham from, it is thought the tot’s middle name pays homage to Kate’s mother Goldie Hawn.

Following his birth, the couple asked for “celebration trees” to be planted for their son, just as they did at Kate’s baby shower.

Matt and Kate – who has a seven-year-old son, Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson – plan to spend the next few weeks at the rocker’s London home while Muse record a new album.

Posted on by

Frost isn’t entirely sure, but as we were flicking through our issue of Glamour magazine we saw a cosmetic surgery advert in the classifieds that looked suspiciously like Funda from Made in Chelsea. A women who looks exactly like her is holding up a sign saying;”I’ve just had my breasts done, but the biggest change you’ll see is on my face.” Hmm.

Ever since we noticed the advert had been in a lot more magazines, not just in the classifieds and in a bigger ad space. Coincidence? Let us know what you think.

Posted on by

Sony are looking to put the nightmare past few months of hacking behind them by putting up two new Japanese trailers for their two critically acclaimed games overnight.

These two critically acclaimed games are none other than the new ICO and Shadow of the Coloussus HD updates and it is clear as day to see that these new videos are there to tantalize, arouse and excite fans new and old.
Personally I have to admit that I never got round to playing ICO but I did play the mighty, mighty Shadow of the Colossus and that game was nothing short of incredible.

From the footage it seems that both HD updates are looking totally gorgeous with all those humongous bosses a release date looking like it will be the end of September. Even better is the announcement that these games will come with full 3D support and a cheaper than chips asking price of £30 for both titles.

Check out the trailer and give us your thoughts.

J. K. Rowling's childhood home for sale

Posted on by

J.K. Rowling’s childhood home is up for sale.

Current owner Julian Mercer believes the Grade II-listed detached Church Cottage in Tutshill, near Chepstow, South East Wales – which is listed at £399,950 – inspired some of the ideas in her ‘Harry Potter’ books as some features of the property echo aspects of the novels.

The features include a dingy cupboard similar to the one where the titular wizard was forced to live by his aunt and uncle and a trapdoor which leads to an eerie cellar.

Julian said: “It’s a lovely place. JK was here in her early years and it could well have inspired her.

“The architecture is very Hogwarts-like. It has vaulted ceilings and stone windows. It oozes gothic spirit.”

One of the bedrooms even carries a piece of graffiti scrawled by the author, who is now 45.

The wall underneath the windowsill in inscribed: “Joanne Rowling slept here circa 1982.”

Julian – who bought the property from the Rowling family in 1995 – said: “When we first moved in JK Rowling was not a known name and it was a couple of years later that ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ came out.

“It was then that we knew the significance of the name written on the windowsill. We have redecorated the house completely since moving in but we always painted around it.”
