Kate Moss Still John Galliano Muse

Posted on by


John Galliano considers Kate Moss his “biggest muse”.

The troubled fashion designer – who created the oyster silk wedding dress worn for her nuptials to rocker Jamie Hince last week – was “never” going to let her down, despite his personal problems, including his recent sacking at French fashion house Dior for proclaiming he “loved” Adolf Hitler.

A source said: “Kate is his biggest muse and he was never, ever, going to let his friend down. He did Kate’s 21st birthday dress, her 30th birthday dress and Galliano’s show was the first she ever walked for. So this wedding day ties up a lot of things beautifully.”

British designer Alice Temperley recently revealed she thought the 37-year-old model would set a trend with her dress, whatever she chose to wear.

She said: “I am certain she will look absolutely stunning, unique, beautiful with a bit of a rock ‘n’ roll twist. I would love to see her in something vintage looking, romantic and slightly bohemian.

“However, whatever she chooses, she will look fantastic and I am sure women will want to wear something similar to their weddings for years to come.”

 

Katy Perry's 'Goldilocks' perfume

Posted on by

Katy Perry claims her Purr fragrance is “like the Goldilocks of perfume.”

The ‘California Gurls’ hitmaker claims people can tell from their very first sniff that the “cute” scent is “just right” and matched perfectly to her wild, fun loving, loud and convivial nature.

She said: “It’s like the Goldilocks of perfume. It s not too much, it’s not too forgettable, it’s just right. It’s basically me in a bottle. I think a lot of people go up and they go, ‘That’s definitely Katy Perry. This is definitely Katy Perry’s perfume.’ ”

Katy is topping charts with her debut perfume, Purr, as well as with her songs, as the scent has been number one every week since it was launched in Canada.

Speaking on TV show Entertainment Tonight Canada she added: “It’s been out for nine weeks and it’s been number one for nine weeks.”

Katy also gave advice on the best way to apply the scent.

She said: “I usually spray and walk through. I never spray directly on

“I’ve heard that you’re not supposed to spray directly on the skin. Then it’s not so concentrated, because everybody knows sometimes when a woman walks into a room, she can smell like her grandmother.”

The ‘Firework’ singer also spent a long time researching the scent’s lavender cat-shaped bottle.

She added: “I would go into endless department stores all over the world and look at what was on the shelves.

“I remember some of the Galliano perfumes that were like snow globes. I was like, ‘Well, when the perfume is finished I just want to keep this on my mantle, because it’s such a fun little bottle.”

Lady Gaga is hooked on 'Antiques Roadshow'.

Posted on by

The 25-year-old singer – who is well known for her eccentric tastes – is obsessed with the British TV show where people bring in their valuables to find out their value, and friends have now bought her a DVD box set of classic episodes so she can watch them on the road.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Lady Gaga is really into her antiques so British pals thought she might be interested in the programme.

“It went down a storm and Gaga hasn’t stopped watching the DVDs. She loves how the old people think their antique is a bit of old tat but ends up costing thousands. It’s right up her street.”

The ‘Judas’ hitmaker herself has some expensive items in her closet – she was given the red shoes worn by Judy Garland in 1939 movie ‘The Wizard of Oz’ as a present from her management earlier this year.

It is not the first time Lady Gaga has been linked to a love of television – she has previously confessed she adores watching cookery shows when she has some down time.

She said: “When I get time off, I like to watch cooking shows, I’m really obsessed with them. I’m a really good cook now, just from watching those shows. My specialty is Italian.”

Daniel Craig's Former Fiancee Still Not Over Him.

Daniel Craig’s former fiancee has banned anyone from mentioning him in her presence.

The James Bond star split from Satsuki Mitchell – who he got engaged to in 2007 – last November, and she was stunned to learn he had married actress Rachel Weisz in a secret ceremony last month following a whirlwind romance.

Satsuki’s father, Christopher Mitchell, said: “His sudden marriage came out of nowhere. We heard about it like everyone else, by reading the newspapers. She doesn’t mention his name now and tells me off if I do.”

According to Christopher, Satsuki had realised their relationship would never have worked out but had only just begun to get over her split from 43-year-old Daniel when the news broke about his marriage.

He told the Daily Mail newspaper: “Satsuki has only just reached a happy place. She has since said, more than once, that the break up was the best thing for her.

“She knew he was not the man she wanted him to be and there was something wrong in the relationship.”

Christopher is worried about the impact Daniel’s marriage will have on his daughter because he became concerned she had developed an eating disorder when they split up last year.

He said: “I have suggested to her on a number of occasions that she might have a disorder. Yet whenever we’re together she eats like a horse.”

Daniel and Rachel – who first went public with their romance in December when they spent Christmas together at a cottage in the English countryside – tied the knot in front of just four people, the actor’s daughter Ella, 18, the actress’ four-year-old son Henry and two friends at a pal’s house in New York state.

Rachel, 40, split from Henry’s father, ‘Black Swan’ director Darren Aronofsky last year, announcing in November they had been separated for some time but remained “close”.

The couple star together in upcoming horror movie ‘Dream House’ – to be released in September 2011 – which they shot throughout 2010.

Emma Watson Hysterical At Harry Potter Ending.

Posted on by

Emma Watson “cried” uncontrollably when finished filming the last ‘Harry Potter’ film.

The actress – who was just 10 when she first played Hermione Granger in the wizard franchise – couldn’t control her emotions when she had to hang up her Hogwarts outfit for the last time when shooting on ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2’ wrapped.

Speaking on UK TV show ‘Daybreak’, she said: “It was so strange … I kind of felt quite numb, I couldn’t really – it doesn’t seem like your feeling anything. And it was when they said, ‘That’s Emma down and Rupert wrapped,’ on ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’, and it just hit me and it was incredibly emotional obviously.

“I cried, cried, cried, cried, cried – it was really emotional and overwhelming.”

Although she is sad the ‘Harry Potter’ movies have come to an end, Emma, now 21, is looking forward to taking on new roles – as long as they don’t require so many years of her life.

She said: “I mean it’s so funny, when I’ve signed on for other projects, other things, people don’t really understand why I get quite jumpy and quite concerned and I think it’s because I’ve signed on for one thing and it turns into a 12-year project. And I realise that everything else won’t be like that, but I just can’t believe what it turned into.”

Emma – who starred in the movies alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint – will always be proud to have portrayed witch Hermione and isn’t worried about being typecast in the future.

She said: “If I’m going to be associated with anything, I’m so thrilled that it would be her and it would be this.”

Royal Tour: Prince William Beats Duchess Kate in Boat Race

Posted on by

The Duke of Cambridge beat his wife – who used to belong to the Sisterhood boat crew – by 10 lengths as they each joined a team to race across Dalvay Lake on Prince Edward Island in Canada on the fifth day of their tour of the North American country.

Before the contest the prince was asked who he thought would triumph, and he joked: “We are of course.”

But Kate quipped: “He’ll be lucky.”

The royal couple – who tied the knot in London’s Westminster Abbey on April 29 – hugged and congratulated each other following the race.

Kate steered her team’s boat, while William’s boat led from the start and it was clear from the beginning his vessel looked more likely to win.

The duke and duchess arrived at the event via horse-drawn carriage and were greeted by thousands of supporters, and some had camped overnight to get a glimpse of the royal couple.

Earlier in the day, the prince – who flies Sea King helicopters in the RAF (Royal Air Force) – took part in a dangerous helicopter manoeuvre on the lake, landing a Canadian military helicopter on the water for the first time.

The couple – who will leave Canada for California on Friday – also took in Province House, where the idea for the country was born.

William said in a speech, which he partly spoke in French, it was “quite a moment” to be stood in front of the building where the “Canadian federation was forged”.

Cheryl Cole’s ex-husband Ashley is planning to propose to her for a second time.

The 28-year-old singer and the soccer ace – who divorced in 2010 amid claims he had cheated on her with five women – wants to re-marry his ex-wife and is now looking for the “biggest” diamond he can find to get down on one knee, so the pair can start a family.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “He is convinced Cheryl will agree to marry him and wants the biggest diamond he can get.

“She’s desperate to start a family but he knows she’ll want to do it as a married woman.”

Cheryl – who has had a makeover with newly blonde hair following her sacking from the US version of ‘X Factor’ – spent the afternoon with Ashley’s mother Sue at her home in Chigwell, Essex, yesterday and she is “glad” to have her former daughter-in-law back in her life.

A source said: “Sue is incredibly fond of Cheryl and is forever singing her praises. She says she is so glad to have her daughter-in-law back.

“She realises how insanely happy Cheryl makes Ashley and believes they are a good team. Sue saw the positive impact which Cheryl had on Ashley. She loves her son and wants the best for him – as far as she is concerned Cheryl was nothing but a positive influence”

However, Cheryl’s mother Joan is not so keen on the reunion, and was upset seeing them together at the Girls Aloud star’s 28th birthday party on Friday night .

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Joan has Cheryl’s best interests at heart. She is the person who is most open and honest with her and was there to pick up the pieces when they split.”

She reportedly said at Cheryl’s party: “I don’t want her to have him back. I’ll never forgive him for what he did to her.”

Meanwhile, Ashley has confirmed he is opening a restaurant and club in central London with hip-hop mogul Jay-Z.

He said: “I’m delighted to be working with Jay-Z. I have grown up listening to his music so to be doing business with him is amazing.”

Jay-Z added: “It’ll be the hottest place in town.”
