Shock Baby Daddy!!

It might be the most random coupling since....nope I can't actually think of a more random couple than Kimberly Stewart and....Benicio Del Toro?! Yup, Rod Stewart's daughter is expecting her first child with none other than Hollywood actor Benicio Del Toro. How the F did that happen?!

Apparently the couple had a "no-strings fling" earlier this year after meeting at LA's celeb favourite Chateau Marmont hotel. The same venue where Del Toro supposedly slept with Scarlett Johansson in a lift! (Which may all be hearsay but she does seem to have a thing for older dudes lately...)
Kimberly, 31 and Benecio, 44 aren't currently in a relationship, nor plan to be, but the actor is "very supportive" according to a statement released by his spokesperson, Robin Baum.


Benicio hasn't exactly been looking his best lately.

Both parties have the reputation of being slightly...promiscuous, shall we say? So a pregnancy sparked from a random hook-up isn't exactly a big shocker for Kim.

 So what does Daddy Stewart think of all this? The rocker, 66, (fortunately older than Del Toro, potential eeew!) banned any statement being released on the subject from his PR company. This could give the message that he's not overly happy about the situation, however, Rod and his daughter were papped having dinner together a couple nights ago in West Hollywood, so he can't be that devvo'd!

Maybe this has the makings for one big, A-list family.

Coachella...ella...ella!

Possibly the most celeb-filled festival, Coachella, drew to a close yesterday after the A-list battled through the 100 degree heat to see the likes of, Cee Lo Green, Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Jimmy Eat World and Kayne West, among others.
Coachella takes place in the Californian desert of Idio, south of Palm Springs over a three day period. The festival makes for some picturesque camping with lakes, mountains, and palm trees galore.

For the rich and famous there are some pretty spectacular options that dont involve the norm 2 man tents and long drop toilets!
Lake Eldorado camping offers; "ready to go camping surrounding the serene setting of the redeveloped Lake Eldorado. Enjoy Coachella with flair, as your party is ready to start once you step onto the park like scenery of your own private access camping community"
A four person tent, would set you back $1,600.00



For the Paris Hilton's of the world, the only place to stay at Coachella is the Safari Tents which bascially look like 5 star hotel rooms (pictured below)

These bad boys have a price tag of $5000 for 2 people and $1250 for each additional person. Yowza!
For the rest of us peasant folk, you can simply bring your own tent and camp for 75 bucks and still enjoy the lush surroundings...and they do offer free shuttle buses to the local supermarket, which is deffo something the UK festies should adopt!

3 day tickets are normally around $269, with day passes at approx $99, making it cheaper than the likes of Glastonbury and all the major English festivals.

Apart from the decent lineup, pictured above, (with a nice British invasion this year including Ellie Goulding, Eliza Doolittle and Plan B) Coachella is crawling with famous faces. So who was spotted this year partying like it's 1969?

BFF's Katy Perry and Rihanna

  

Cee Lo Green and Lauryn Hill performed on the opening day - Friday 15 April

Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson, Glee star Cory Monteith, Dita Von Tees, The Hoff - plus a blonde lady friend, Li Lo, Usher, Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley, and none other than Clint Eastwood were just a few more of tinsletowns finest seen enjoying the festival that is promoted to encompass the free spirit of the 60's. Righteous.

Even for the location alone this festival has def been penciled onto my bucket list. 



Urm, Pot - Kettle - Black?

Currently in it's second season The Only Way Is Essex has built an immense following, documenting the lives of Essex's Glambots, all pictured below.

Two of the shows most popular characters, on/off couple
Lydia Bright and James 'Arg' Argent. 

Whether you love, hate or have never seen TOWIE, it's undeniably sucked in a fair amount of viewers, and in true reality show fashion, the gals have coined such catchphrases as, 'Shut Up', 'Jel' and 'Vajazzle', building the show to cult status. (For those not familiar, jel = jealous and vajazzle = a diamond encrusted vajayjay)



Full Cast Pic

  However real or fake the show is, (like we care?) it makes for amusing viewing to say the least. But one Essex lass in particular is not happy with the picture it's painted of 'real life' Essex. This lass is none other than Jodie Marsh. Yes, Jodie Marsh, the girl who got married in Kirk Norcross's Brentwood club 'Sugar Hut', has hit out against the ITV2 programme saying

"It is embarrassing and the people on that show are probably the worst possible examples of people from Essex. It's just embarrassing.I think the people are just making us look stupid"

"I and all my friends are highly ashamed of it and fairly embarrassed to say we are from Essex now, thanks to the show."

Perhaps Miss Marsh simply cannot condone people shouting profanities at each other, becoming famous on a reality show or taking their clothes off for self promotion? No, these are things Jodie would never do....or maybe she's just like, totally jel?


A classier rep for the land of Essex?



Summer Style

The sun is beginning to shine and Summer is a-coming! And a new season brings a new wardrobe. With the rich and famous jetsetting to any destination they desire to soak up some sun, the new Spring/Summer fashions are shining through...

Amber Rose (above) favoured a hot pink polka dot bikini over the weekend while she holidayed in Barbados with friends. Lukily for the 27 year old, these snaps weren't taken earlier in the day when she chose to go topless! Nice to see some bikini pics of a curvier gal I must say. Wiz Kalifa's girlf is looking good!

Last night Elle hosted their Women In Music event at Hollywood's The Music Box, and there were certainly some ladies rocking the red carpet...

Solange Knowles (above) channeled a Seventies inspired look with high waisted flares, a popular trend for this Summer, and long cardigan with oversized hat. The teeny crop top/bra would have been a bit much without the cardy but Beyonce's lil sis manages to make this look chic and sexy.

Also working a hot trend at the event was Jordin Sparks (below). Bold, block colours are a fave for summer 2011 and the former American Idol winner looked stunning in this purple dress with leopard heels.

If you're daring enough to clash your brights then take a leaf out of Molly King's book. The Saturday's singer, pictured above, teams her hot pink mini with an orange blouse and electric blue bra whilst in LA.

Sitting In A Tree....

When I first saw this pic of Keira cosying up to her new boyf, it looked alarmingly like the Biebs...which would've been wrong on so many levels! Luckily the fella is actually Klaxons keyboard player, James Righton.
The actress and her new beau were papped around James's flat in East London where Keira went for a quick wardrobe change before heading to a nearby park to chill out...and stare lovingly into each others eyes etc etc.
The pair have been dating for just over a month after being introduced by mutual friend Alexa Chung. We all need a friend who can introduce us to successful musicians don't we? If only...



Ryan attempts to cover his face - unsuccessfully - as they leave London club, Amika



Also spotted out and about, 'Mamma Mia!' star Amanda Seyfried and "secret boyf" Ryan Philippe (above)on a night out in London after the actress was in town promoting her new film 'Red Riding Hood'. These two have been pretty coy about their romance, but I think it's safe to say that after being spotted holding hands in Paris (below) and their London outing, that the cat may be firmly out of the bag! I'm not sure why you wouldn't want people to know you've bagged Philippe in the first place?! Be proud Amanda.

A Very Good Look



Animal Print Gather Skirt Dress - £39



I happen to have a huge girl crush on Fearne Cotton, the lady can do no wrong in me eyes, so the new shots from her Spring collection for Very brought a little smile to my face.

The Radio 1 DJ has drawn inspiration from the Sixties and Seventies, with a running theme of being in love in the summer. 

"Your first love, when your stomach is in knots. There’s no better feeling.

There are some really special pieces in there, perfect for a big summer party or event, alongside some ­versatile key pieces that can be worn all season."  Aww.

The collection forms an array of stunning dresses, statement sunglasses, peasant blouses, cute ankle socks and sandals. Basically the essentials of a summer wardrobe.



Dip-dye Vintage Silk Dress - £55



Fearne has cleverly designed her range, past and present seasons, for all shapes and sizes. While we don't all posses the bod to pull of a skin tight maxi dress, the pieces in this collection are loose and floaty to hide any bumps we have yet to axe before bikini season strikes!



Asymmetric Ruffle Dress - £39



Broderie Bib Dress - £49



A spokesperson for Very stated, "We are confident that the summer additions to her range will inspire our customers and strengthen her position as one of Very.co.uk's most popular designers"

To snap up the delicious designs, head to www.very.co.uk where you can also purchase Fearne's BFF, Holly Willoughby's collection too!



Metallic One Shoulder Dress - £69





S Is For Shame

Magazines, movies and music video's...just a few mediums in which we're presented with the men and women of celeb-land looking perfectly perfect, after a team of stylists, hairdressers, make-up artists and air-brushers have had their way with them. It gives me a little pleasure, I must admit, to be blessed with the odd picture of celebs acting like humble humans, having a bad hair day or just some good old fashioned botched botox. So who's been linked in the circle of shame lately?....

*I hope Tori Spelling (above) didn't pay over the odds for her boobies as they seem to be a tad out of shape, to say the least! On Monday evening Tori, along with hubby Dean McDermott, took to the red carpet in NYC for the Oxygen Network event at Gotham Hall. Sadly, eyes were drawn straight to Spelling's misshapen knockers, appearing to have a strange dent in her left boob (also below).
Time for lift number three perhaps?

*It wouldn't be a story of shame without the mention of The Hills' Heidi Montag. The reality star took a trip to the salon on Monday (below) but became a tad wary of the dryer getting too close to her newly-plastic nose. I'll admit these pictures aren't drop-your-jaw shockers, but anyone that's afraid of their nose melting at the hairdressers deserves a little shameful mention!

*I do have love for the Olsen twins, right back from the days of Full House and Mary-Kate and Ashley, and there is no doubt that these girls have carved their names into the fashion tree, but they don't half wear some weird stuff sometimes! Last week the twinnies stepped out to the Met Opera in New York City (below) dressed in YSL and created a major fashion no-no. These girls can wear any dress, skirt, shoe or bag by any designer they desire, why they opted for these is beyond me?! Mary-Kate and Ashley often prefer high-end fashion, which isn't always considered 'street-friendly'... this I commend, but the green fur and over sized waistcoat do nothing for these beauties! Full house? or Fold?
