Wednesday Showbiz Round-Up!

Hi VIPs! The weekend it just around the corner- here’s some juicy showbiz gossip to help count down the days.

X-Factor winner Sam Bailey looks glam in the artwork for her album, however she has admitted that despite dropping from a size 18 to a size 12 she still doesn’t feel sexy! She did however say that things are much better in the bedroom with her partner due to her slimmer figure.

Simon Cowell is still in the tough process of coaxing Cheryl Cole to join the X-Factor panel this year. He has reportedly offered her £2million! Still no confirmation on Cheryl’s part. Seems like she’s playing hard to get.

Katie Price decided to opt for an ‘au natural’ look as her latest selfie on Twitter. She ditched her hair extensions and will be rocking her own natural hair from now on. She has also unveiled that she will not be having any more plastic surgery.

Kelly Brook and David McIntosh have broken up after only six weeks of dating. It seemed pretty serious as Kelly had recently invited him to Miami with herself on a shoot, but seems like things didn’t work out. Apparently David was trying to steal the spotlight!

Michelle Rodriquez and Cara Delevigne have confirmed their romance! They stepped out during Fashion Week looking comfortable but later ditching their heels to go barefoot. Michelle told The Mirror that everything is going well and they have the best time together.

Leighton Meester and Adam Brody have secretly married! They reportedly walked down the aisle over the weekend after announcing their engagement three months ago. They had talked about getting married over the Summer but it seems like these two love birds couldn’t wait.

Supermodel Kate Upton posed under zero gravity conditions for Sports Illustrated 50th edition. The photoshoot took place in a Zero Gravity Plane at the Space Coast Regional Airport at Cape Canaveral in Florida where she donned a tiny bikini. Looking good!

Friday Showbiz Round-Up!

Hello VIPs! I’m sure everyone is over the moon that we made it to Friday! Here’s some juicy showbiz gossip to get you in that Friday feeling.

We all know Spencer Matthews gained a bit of weight whilst filming for The Bachelor and now he admits that he let himself go again after spending weeks partying on St Barths over the festive period. He has vowed to get himself back into ‘mint’ condition and with all the right tools he said his new programme will show results in 12 weeks. He does however claim he’ll be able to do it in six weeks.

TOWIE star Gemma Collins has given fans a sneak peak of her latest collection of plus-size dresses which she insists will help ladies feel proud of their curves. Lace is featured predominantly in her collection and it is even labelled ‘Let My Lace Collection’. Will you be buying?

A lot of X-Factor news! As Nichole Scherzinger announced her heartbreaking decision not to return to the panel this year to concentrate on her music, Cheryl Cole has hinted at her return. Cheryl posted a ‘throwback Thursday’ image of herself sitting next to Simon on the X-Factor panel.

It is said that Bruce Jenner will not be returning to ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ next season as he will be concentrating on living a quieter life. He would much rather spend time alone with his kids, invest in his toy helicopter collection and ride motorcycles. Fair play!

What does Jay Z get Beyonce for Valentines Day?- a woman who has everything? Well he treated her to a $2.5k promise bracelet by Tacori. He treats her like an absolute queen!

Jennifer Aniston had one of the most iconic hairstyles of all time with the ‘Rachel’- however it now seems she wants to embrace her shorter bob again after initially claiming it made her look old. Either way she looks gorgeous.

Former Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen has released the video to her new single Heaven Knows. Her band ‘The Pretty Reckless’ are a hard rock band and Taylor continues to push the envelope with her artistic nudity!

So that was your week in showbiz! Drop your thoughts to @livelikeavip

Tuesday Showbiz Round-Up!

Hello VIPs! Hope everyone had a good start to the week. Here’s some showbiz gossip to help you out if you’re struggling.

Davina McCall got into a little bit of trouble during her Sports Relief triathlon. She had to be dragged out of Lake Windermere after her 1.5 mile swim and blamed it on being too cold. However, soon after she was back in good spirits and set out to continue on the next stage- a 65 mile bike ride. We would have given up by now!

Another celebrity trying to be active is TOWIE’s James Argent. He has lost 8 pounds in 3 days but according to his doctor he needs to lose another 5 stone to be healthy and avoid diabetes. His first bulk of weight loss happened at No.1 Bootcamp in Norfolk, where other reality stars have gone to lose weight. Let’s hope he keeps its up!

Cheryl Cole is back in the studio and making music. She posted an obviously gorgeous picture of herself with the caption- ‘Studio #keepmoving’. Wonder if it’ll interrupt with her decision to return to the X-Factor? Sure hope not!

Marc Anthony and Chloe Green have split due to conflicting busy schedules. They were only dating for a year and had many breaks during their relationship but now it seems like it’s over for good. There was a considerable age difference between this former couple- maybe other factors were involved in their partition?

Kendall Jenner is turning more and more high fashion with each photo-shoot. She unveiled some spectacular black and white pictures of herself . The pictures were taken by photographer Jason Eric Hardwick and he did incredible justice to her beauty!

Lena Dunham has unveiled the cover and release date for her book. It will be out on July 10th of this year and is titled, ‘Not That Kind of Girl’. Her publisher Random House apparently paid her a reported $3.7million for her humorous advice guide. Definitely a must buy!

Kristen Stewart has claimed that she stands by every decision she has made in the latest issue of Marie Claire. In particular she was referring to the fling with Rupert Sanders whilst she was still with Robert Pattinson. She also went on to say that you can’t help who you fall in love with so everyone can judge away!

Tuesday Showbiz Round-Up!

Hello VIPs! Hope you’re well! Make sure to start your day off with some juicy showbiz gossip!

Harry Styles has added two more tattoos to his already large collection. The first is an etching that says ‘Silver Spoon’ which can be seen on his elbow and the other is the Holy Bible on his forearm. Wonder if his rumoured girlfriend Kendall Jenner likes them?

Katherine Jenkins has decided to undergo an image overhaul by dying her hair darker. She tweeted the photo of her new hair with the caption ‘Going back to my roots…Musically!’ This comes in light of a renewal of her relationship with Decca Records and her new album which will be released in the Autumn.

Cheryl Cole seemed to have a messy night with Kimberly Walsh and Nicola Roberts as she shared a snap of herself on Instagram with the caption- ‘the awkward moment when your friends send you pictures from last night and you can’t even remember #why #messy’. Oh we can sympathise Cheryl!

Victoria Beckham will definitely not be reuniting with the Spice Girls again! The last time the famous girl group got together was during the London 2012 Olympics and whilst she said that was incredible honour, she also mentioned knowing when your time was over.

Kelly Clarkson has confirmed she is having a baby girl! Kelly announced her pregnancy back in November and she and her husband Brandon Blackstock are overjoyed at the news. Kelly even joked that only a girl could cause that much drama with her morning sickness!

Kourtney Kardashian has put her house up for sale. This is even more surprising considering she just finished decorating it! Scott Disick described their house as ‘Alice in Wonderland meets Beetlejuice’. They are reportedly moving out due to a need of extra space. That house would be big enough for us Kourtney!

Everybody should cancel their plans for Sunday! Beyonce and Jay-Z will perform live at the Grammy Awards! Hopefully there won’t be a power shortage after their performance!

She had one of the catchiest tunes of 2011 with Call Me Maybe and now Carly Rae Jepsen is playing Cinderella on Broadway! She gave Good Morning America a behind the scenes tour of the play and even managed to bring along the famous glass slippers!

Best #belfie of 2013 – Kim Kardashian V Kelly Brook

Kim Kardashian has posted yet another ‘belfie’ (bum selfie) on twitter and we can’t deny she is looking great. Kim is clearly very proud of her healthy post-pregnancy body and her super toned bum too. 2013 was the year of the selfie – it was even named as the word of 2013 by Oxford dictionaries. Take a trip down memory lane and have a look at our top 5 belfie pics of 2013.

 

5. Kylie Minogue 

Kylie shows the girls how it’s done in this leopard print swimsuit. We wish we have a bottom like that when we’re 45!

4. Cheryl Cole 

Cheryl shows of her bum and tattoos in this sunset belfie.

3. Kim Kardashian 

Nobody (everybody!) paid attention when Kim showed of her post-preg body way back in the summer.

2. Lucy Mecklenburgh

Lucy has been working on a fitness DVD and this picture goes to show hard work really pays off.

1. Kelly Brook

Kelly shows off her best assets in this beach belfie – her bum and her smile. We think she definitely deserves the number one spot.

What do you think of these belfies? Do these pictures inspire you to squat or do you think these celebs should cover up?

Hot And Scary Celebrity Looks

It’s Halloween week and the celebrities have already started, like I pointed out yesterday. Some of the celebrities had Halloween parties at the weekend (and Lady Gaga looked her normal scary self). Today we have more Halloween looks for you plus Tulisa’s lips…I think these lips are the scariest thing in the whole blog post but see what you think to them when you scroll down.

First up is a really scary photo of Hugh Hefner – who is 87- and his 27 year old wife Crystal dress as Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus. At his age, dressing up is probably all they were doing but it’s still a but scary that Crystal wants to waster her 20s with a man so old.

 

 

And now, I have to get onto the lips. What has Tulisa done? She’s getting into Leslie Ash territory here, or should that be terror-itry? She’s been photographed levaing the salon so we know she’s had it done again but the question is WHY????

Now, I have another question – would you let Cheryl Tweedy tattoo you? The tattooist that inked her bottom posted a photo of how he was teaching Cheryl how to use a needle on himself. Brave man! Did seeing Cheryl’s bum up close turn his brain funny?

 

With those three frightening tales, I think we sould end with something positive. Fearne Cotton looked lovely in blue as she was photographed on her way to the Radio 1 studios. Fearne’s got a fashion range for Very.co.uk if you like her style.

Meanwhile Danni Minogue also dressed up spectacurly on her way to work on Australian X Factor. I’m loving the irony of the tartan given she’s as Aussie as they come. And I love the volume in her hair – 80s in a good way!

Are you ready for Halloween yet? If you’re in the London area  then check out a guide of the best parties here - ones where you can spot a celeb and ones where you can be a celeb.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more goss, no doubt with a few more scary Halloween outfits!

Celebrity Parties Over The Weekend

Hi VIPs! If you’ve got any touch of the Monday blues then think back to what you did at the weekend. What was the best bit? Hold on to that as the good times are coming back…I promise. And talking of good times, here’s a bit of celebrity gossip.

First up, TV presenter Amanda Byram is getting married and even the celebs need a hen do. Amanda (below centre) invited from L-R Laura Whitmore, Denise Van Outen and Fearne Cotton to celebrate her last few nights of singledom. They all went to cool new Soho club Disco. It’s a bit of a celeb hangout right now.

Also taking Twitter photos of their night out at the weekend was Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts sister Frankie. It was Nicola’s 28th birthday and the girls flew to Amsterdam where Nicola got her feet sucked. Yes, really! Click here for photos of the feet affair

 

Over in Dubai, Tulisa and her new lips went for a night out. Check out that pout! How much collagen did it take to get that?

Katherine Jenkins went for a more natural look in London as she ran the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon. She still glowed at the end, even though she ran 13 miles in a little over 2 hours for charity. Well done her! Newsreaders Sian Lloyd and Sophie Raworth, TV presenter Jenni Falconer and celebrity hairdesser Andrew Barton. Read more here

And finally, don’t worry if you are feeling less than glam today then don’t panic as you probably look better than Keira Knightley. Dungarees? What is she thinking? Her husband James Righton doesn’t look that impressed by them…

 

So let’s all go forth and conquer Monday and plan something fantastic to look forward to. If you’re anywhere near London I totally recommend Disco club.
