Rupert Grint Wants To Date The Queen

Posted on by

Rupert Grint has a crush on Queen Elizabeth.

The ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ actor – who shot to fame aged 11 playing Ron Weasley in the movie series – admits the monarch would be one of his two ideal women, along with singer-and-actress Juliette Lewis.

Asked which two famous women he would like to date, he said: “I think it would have to be the queen. She is [pretty foxy]. I sat in front of her at her 80th birthday, where we were asked to perform in a play, so that was pretty cool.

“My second choice would be Juliette Lewis, because she’s really cool and in a band.”

One celebrity the 22-year-old star does not find attractive is former ‘Hannah Montana’ actress Miley Cyrus.

He explained: “I’ve never really gone for those Disney girls.”

Rupert has never been in a relationship for longer than a few weeks, but is currently happy to be single.

He told Britain’s Glamour magazine: “I haven’t had any very serious relationships. The longest was probably less than a month. I’ve never had a one-night stand.

“I’m not really looking for anything at the moment. I’m so busy that it’s quite hard to commit.”

While Rupert insists he isn’t looking for love, the flame-haired star admits he has received a lot of attention from girls since starring in the ‘Harry Potter’ films.

He said: “The ginger community embraced me – put it that way.

“Walking down the street, I would get a lot of ‘ginger love’. I still do.”

Kate Middleton grants cancer-sufferer's wish

Duchess Catherine grants cancer-sufferer’s wish

Duchess Catherine has granted a wish to a child suffering from cancer.

The 29-year-old royal – who is currently on an official visit to Canada and the US with husband Prince William – was moved to tears after meeting six-year-old Diamond Marshall at Calgary Airport yesterday.

Diamond, who was diagnosed with an abdominal cyst in February and has undergone chemotherapy and radiotherapy, rushed across the tarmac to meet Kate and flung herself into her arms.

The youngster – currently awaiting surgery – was granted the opportunity to meet the royal couple through the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada charity, which aims to make the dreams of sick children come true.

Her mother had written to the charity, saying: “We are aware Diamond’s wish is enormous. We also are aware she may not have the chance to go to Disneyland where she wants to lunch with princesses.

“Should the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge just happen to swing by for a visit it would go a long way for helping her spirits as she is in awe of Princess Kate’s fairytale like story.”

Diamond – who was accompanied by her father Lyall and stepmother Danielle – said: “She was as fancy as she looks on the TV.”

Meanwhile, her stepmother Danielle described the experience as “a dream come true” for the little girl.

She added: “She was so lovely and so gracious. For a little girl who has dreamed of meeting a princess it was a dream come true.”

The Inept Girl's Guide To Cooking: Stuffed Peppers

Posted on by

I thought stuffed peppers would be hard, thankfully, I was wrong.

Take 4 peppers, any colour you want, chop the top off and scoop out the insides and clean. Place in a baking try, take some olive oil and drizzle lightly over the peppers. Cook for 20 minutes or until roasted.

While the peppers are cooking take some couscous and put it in a bowl. Add boiling water (the pack will tell you how much, generally 115ml or water per 75ml of couscous) leave for two minutes and it will be cooked! I know, I love couscous, it is so easy and quick.

Now, this is where the fun starts; you can stuff the peppers with whatever you want, I added Tomato, mushroom, onion and mozzarella. Quite simple but it tastes amazing.

 

While the couscous is cooking peel and chop up some mushrooms, onions and tomatoes. Put in a frying pan with a little oil and start to cook. Add the couscous when it is done. Keep checking on the peppers.

Add the mozzarella to the pan, take the peppers out of the oven and stuff the mixture into them. Put the tops on and then put back not the oven for a further 20 minutes. Cooking times may vary so feel free to adjust.

Take the peppers out of the oven and they are ready to serve. They taste great with the melted mozzarella, I also added some honey roast parsnips, which will be coming up soon in my column. I also added cooked apples on top as an experiment and it went down quite well.

The best things about stuffed peppers is the variety, you can have rice instead of couscous and any vegetable or even meat, so have fun.

Enjoy!

Our Family Wedding Review & Competition.

Posted on by

Frost is doing a competition to win one of three copies of wedding comedy Our Family Wedding, starring America Ferrara and Forest Whittaker. All you have to do is go to the homepage and subscribe.

Our Family Wedding is very funny, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the cover and didn’t know anything about it. However, I am a huge fan of Forest Whittaker and America Ferrara. I wasn’t disappointed in the film. It is a well scripted, well acted movie built around a funny premise. I laughed all the way through the not PC at all film. With all of the weddings happening at the moment (Kate’s Moss and Middleton to name just two) makes it also timely.

Check out the trailer below.

Lady Gaga confused by personas

Posted on by

Lady Gaga no longer knows the difference between her real self and on stage persona.

The ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker – whose real name is Stefani Germanotta – admits she throws herself so completely into her outlandish costumes and performances, her outfits have become as much a part of her as her vital organs.

She said: “The lines for myself have become so blurred now, I know not the difference between a moment of performance and a moment of honesty. If you were to ask me to remove my Philip Treacy hat at a party, in truth it is the emotional and physical equivalent of requesting I remove my liver.

“I know not the difference between the hair that grows from my head and the teal wigs that grow from my imagination. They are the same. They are both honest, and always have been. So maybe I know nothing of ‘the art of escapism.’ I was just Born This Way. I revere the dream to be real. I am always, and shall forever be, private in public.”

The eccentric singer insists the way she presents herself is her “destiny” and she is always part of a show that celebrates her own “uniqueness”.

She wrote in her column for V magazine: “Art is a lie. And every day I kill to make it true. It is my destiny to exist halfway between reality and fantasy at all times. They call me ‘theatrical,’ but I posit profusely that I am theatre, and that theatre is me. I am a show with no intermission.

“It is this thing that summons me from the depths of reality and reminds me that the power of transformation is endless. That I (we) possess something magical and transformative inside- a uniqueness and specialness waiting to be exiled from the depths of our identity. ”

Jessie J’s Lesbian Experience

Posted on by

Jessie J’s teenage girl experience

Jessie J was 17 when she had her first “girl experience”.

The ‘Price Tag’ hitmaker is openly bisexual and says her family have always been accepting of her sexuality, even though she was regarded as “rebellious”.

She said: “It is important for me to be open and honest about it. My mum and dad have known for years and were super cool, my sisters made jokes about it because they were married with kids and I was the rebellious one. I had a girlfriend and tattoos. I was like… hardcore.

“Because I haven’t tried to hide it, people have gone, ‘Oh she’s so cool about it, so we’re cool about it.’

“How old was I when I had my first girlfriend? Dunno. 17? It wasn’t a girlfriend, more my first girl experience.”

Jessie – who refuses to say if she is in a relationship with anyone at present – admitted she finds it “sad” that people find it odd that she doesn’t drink alcohol or take drugs.

The 23-year-old star added to Britain’s Glamour magazine: “Drugs and alcohol are not the epitome of an amazing life, they’re actually glamorised way too much.

“People go to me, ‘Oh my God, you’re in the industry and you don’t take drugs?’ It’s weird to me that it’s seen as un-normal. It’s quite sad.”

It’s not known if she has been trying to find a Lesbian Parship.

This is why we love Jessie J, she is brave and unafraid to be herself. An unauthorized biography has tried to say she is a lesbian, not bisexual, she has refuted the claims, and we reckon she wouldn’t lie. Go Jessie!
