Liam Hemsworth, Solange Knowles & Chloe Norgaard at Belvedere Party in Cannes

Posted on May 21, 2013 by Frostie

Belvedere Vodka played host to one of Cannes biggest, most exclusive parties. Some of the celeb world’s biggest names came out to play, including a newly single Liam Hemsworth and a newly pink-haired Chloe Norgaard. Hip hop icon Reverend Run from RUN-D.M.C performed to the celebrity-filled crowd at the legendary VIP ROOM nightclub to celebrate the world’s first super-premium vodka’s return to Cannes (France) for the sixth year.

Here is the gossip!

Liam Hemsworth – This was a total guys night out for Liam with his agent and manger and he seemed to be LOVING the excess female attention – the girls went NUTS when security walked him in – clamouring for photos, even throwing ice at his table to get his attention.

Liam also JUST landed in Cannes at 12:30am that night, so literally, his first stop at the festival was the Belvedere party

Chloe Norgaard – She was pulled through the crowds of people, only to be noticed by her distinctive and newly-dyed pink ‘rainbow hair’.

Solange Knowles – Came with two friends and refused to do any interviews claiming she was ‘super jet-lagged’. She didn’t mind buying her own drinks and came across as extremely down to earth.

Will The Royal Baby Be Elizabeth III?

Posted on May 21, 2013 by Frostie

After months of royal baby speculation, it appears the nation believes the new royal arrival will be a girl named Elizabeth born on the 7^th July.

These predictions came out top in a poll of nearly 4,000 fellow expectant mums who were asked to guess the sex, name and the date the royal baby would arrive on parenting website Bounty.com.

Despite recent rumours of Harry letting it slip that the royal couple are expecting a boy and Kate buying a blue Bugaboo pram, two thirds still believe the new arrival will be a princess.

And when it comes to naming their firstborn, most think the couple will be ‘keeping it in the family’ with Elizabeth the most popular choice, closely followed by Diana, Victoria and Alexandra.

These echo the recent ‘Royal Baby Odds’ released by Ladbrokes, which favour Kate giving birth to a girl at 2-5 with the same names as front-runners at 6-1.

Lisa Penney, spokesmum for Bounty.com, whose ‘Royal Baby Guesser’ competition is asking new mums and pregnant women to cast their predictions for the royal baby. “Everyone loves a royal baby and as speculation reaches fever pitch we thought it would be fun to ask our members for their own predictions,” says Lisa.

“The results show even though Kate and Wills are seen as modern, contemporary royals, people still think they will plump for a traditional royal name.”

When it comes to boys names, George – most widely rumoured to be favoured by the couple for a son – comes out on top, followed by James, Henry and Edward.

Interestingly, it seems new mums are already taking name inspiration from the royals with Bounty Parenting Club’s most recent baby names report revealing both George and James were among the top ten names given to baby boys by new parents in April.

However, the ‘most likely for a princess’ girls names have some catching up to do with Elizabeth the 42^nd most popular name given to baby girls in April, Alexandra the 69^th, whilst Diana just makes the top 100 at 84^th.

And despite recent reports of a ‘family friend’ letting it slip that the baby is due on 13^th July, 7^th July came out top as the date believed most likely for the baby making its arrival, followed by the 17^th and the 14^th July.

Lisa continues: “Our records show that year after year parents continue to be influenced by popular culture and celebrity, so it’s highly likely that whatever name the royal couple go for they’ll be setting a baby-naming trend for the future.

“And it does seem that even rumours surrounding the possible name they’ll go for are enough to inspire new parents. Our latest baby data shows sharp increases since the beginning of the year for Diana (up 200%), Elizabeth (up 22%) and George (up 10%), leaping up seven places to become the eighth most popular name for baby boys in the UK.”

The Pre-Baby List: Things To Do Before You Have Children

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Catherine Balavage

A pre-baby what? A pre-baby list. Not for women who are pregnant and the dad-to-be, but for people who haven’t had children. Kids might be great but you can’t say they don’t cramp your style. My nephew is now two-years-old and has expanded my brothers life, but also allowed him less freedom. So I am not only compiling a list of things to do in your pre-baby years, but I am also writing a book on it, and I would love you to contribute. Just comment below on the things you think everyone should do before they have children. I have a few of my own below to start things off. I will be adding to the list and also keep you updated on the book. Here goes!

1) Go to Paris on the Eurostar.

2) Go to a music festival.

3) Go to London Fashion Week

4) Go scuba diving.

5) Get your driving license and have a roadtrip around America.

6) Have a roadtrip around Europe.

7) Spend weekends sleeping in late and doing absolutely nothing.

8) Read books

9) Buy the Sunday papers and read them (almost) cover to cover.

10) Learn a new skill

What do you think should be added? Comment below.

Deadfall Film Review

Posted on May 18, 2013 by Catherine Balavage

*Spoiler Alert*

One of the best things about Deadfall is Eric Bana. His turn as Addison, a man on the run with his sister (Olivia Wilde) after a botched casino heist is outstanding: chilling and ruthless. He plays psychopath incredibly well. The wintry landscape and the pace of the film makes this a wonderfully entertaining thriller/western/noir.

However his stone-cold killer has a different side. Whilst on the run he sees a man abusing his wife and children, throwing them out into the snow, he helps the family but in the morning gets into a shoot out with the police. The small daughter, who thought he was there to save them, says ‘You’re no angel!’. “No, I’m not.’ he says and makes a run for it.

Addison is clearly loved by his sister Liza, but unlike him she actually has a conscious and morals. They separate as the police are looking for a man and a woman. Olivia Wilde is great as Liza but must have been freezing in her skimpy clothes. All of the characters are multi-layered and crash into each other before coming together in a tension filled finale.

Sissy Spacek is always brilliant, and here she is calm and collected as the woman who has unwelcome thanksgiving guests.

There is also an excellent snowmobile chase and the film starts with a well-shot car crash. An excellent crime drama. Go see.

The Big Wedding | Film review

Posted on May 17, 2013 by Catherine Balavage

*Spoiler Alert*

This broad comedy about a long divorced couple (Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton) who pretend they are still married for their adopted son (Ben Barnes) is fun and entertaining. His biological mother is a strict catholic and he never told her they divorced.

De Niro’s character, who cheated on his ex-wife and has been through AA three times, is a lovable rogue. His long term girlfriend (Susan Sarandon who is amazing) was the best friend of his ex-wife. The only thing I disliked about the film, and which I found unrealistic, is that Keaton and Sarandon would be friends, and that Sarandon also lives in the house that the couple built themselves and raised their children in with her ex-husband. I can’t think of one woman who would be friends with the woman who broke up her family and now lives in the family home.

This is big comedy, and it is not scared to take risks. Some of the comedy is risque, but I really enjoyed it. It has a strong cast who bounce of each other well. Robin Williams as the priest is as good as ever. De Niro (my favourite actor) plays his character well, making a complex and flawed character lovable.

This is a Hollywood comedy film, the person I watched the film with said it was funny and good, but not realistic. In a way I agree, but I don’t care. This film would make a great night out: funny and entertaining.

Your Ultimate Festival Survival Guide

Posted on May 15, 2013 by Frostie

From a field in the West Country to the Nevada desert, festivals are sexy! Mud, hot pants, sun, hot pants, alcohol, hot pants. The pressure to appeal to the opposite sex is on. Here’s our hedonistic health kit with everything you need to make you cleaner, safer, pain-free and altogether hotter this festival season!

Talking dirty

When you are jumping up and down to your favourite band in the middle of a muddy field, oral hygiene will be the last thing on your mind. If you know that the excitement of live music will be enough for you to forget the toothbrush then why not try Oraldiet. Oraldiet is an innovative oral probiotic lozenge that contains the probiotic lactobacillus reuteri. The formulation binds to your saliva and therefore stays in the mouth – allowing you to feel fresh for longer. The presence of aloe vera gel ensures that your mouth flora kept healthy at all times, leaving you to concentrate on more important things – like which stage to visit. Oraldiet is available from www.revital.co.uk. £6.35 for 30 lozenges.

Best foot forward

Plastic wellies may be great for trudging through muddy fields, but they can cause your tootsies to sweat and smell. If your wellies are causing a stink, try using a good foot deodorant such as Carnation Footcare’s Cool Foot spray to keep feet dry, clean and sweat-free; the perfect remedy after a day’s hard welly-wearing. Carnation Footcare’s Cool Foot spray is available from www.firstaidfast.co.uk £3.83.

Keep it clean

A combination of dancing, lack of showers and mud means one thing: sweat! Make sure you are the last one dancing with Thursday Plantation’s Tea Tree Deodorant. The 100% Tea Tree formulation will keep you feeling fresh and clean throughout the whole day whilst the aloe vera extract will sooth your skin during the sweatiest of musical moments. It’s also organic and aluminum free, meaning you’ll be feeling at one with nature whilst shaking your body to the beat. Thursday Plantation’s Tea Tree Deodorant is available from www.revital.co.uk £4.95 for 60ml.

Get water savvy

Shona Wilkinson, Head Nutritionist at The Nutri Centre, www.nutrticentre.com, recommends drinking plenty of water throughout the day ‘to help maintain energy levels, a clear head, and because dehydration will only worsen the effects of any alcohol you drink later on. If the weather’s hot and sunny and you’re sweating a lot, you’ll also be losing vital salts and minerals. Try adding an electrolyte solution to your water to maintain the correct levels. Elete Electrolyte water, £5.52 from www.nutricentresports.com makes 10 litres of hydration liquid, is 100% natural and is taste and calorie-free.’’

Angelina Jolie: “I have had a double mastectomy”.

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Catherine Balavage

Angelina Jolie bravely had both of her healthy breasts removed in February, and had reconstructive surgery in April, after finding out she had an 87% risk of contracting breast cancer. Jolie found out she carried the BRCA1 cancer gene. Jolie lost her mother, Marcheline Bertrand to ovarian cancer when Marcheline was only 56. She also revealed she has a 50% chance of contracting ovarian cancer. She said:

‘Only a fraction of breast cancers result from an inherited gene mutation. Those with a defect in BRCA1 have a 65% risk of getting it, on average. Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could, I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy.’

‘I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex.’

‘I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer,’ she continued. ‘It is my hope that they, too, will be will able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options.

‘Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.’

Jolie worked during her treatment, speaking out about violence against women and children at the G8 summit in London last month.

In the article entitled My Medical Choice for the New York Times she praised the support of her fiance, Brad Pitt, and their children Maddox, 11, Pax, nine, Zahara, eight, Shiloh, six, and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, saying: ‘We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has.’
