When will Amy Winehouse get help?

Published by gossip_queen under Celebrity Edit This

Amy WinehouseAmy Winehouse has barely been out of the news since she burst onto the scene with her debut album ‘Frank’ 5 years ago. While most of her early press was good the last few years have been filled with controversy. There is very little that Amy Winehouse can do now that will shock us, unless of course it was announced that she was joining a nunnery.

The latest Winehouse woe has seen her rushed to hospital, although her family and spokesperson are refusing to confirm what exactly is wrong with her it is being reported that she suffered an allergic reaction to some medication. Amy was diagnosed with the early stages of the lung condition emphysema after collapsing at her home last month. It has also been claimed that she is suffering from heart problems as a result of her drug abuse.

Amy’s Dad Mitch insists that the singer is fine, but this picture taken at the weekend and the latest hospital drama clearly show that she is not fine. And with Blake (incarcerated) not likely to be released from prison until Christmas and Amy still looking the worse for wear I can’t see the situation improving anytime soon. And what about when Blake (incarcerated) is finally released? Will that make Amy better or worse? She’ll probably be happy to have him back but will it be even more damaging for her health? Amy’s parents have made no secret of the fact that they feel Blake (incarcerated) is a bad influence on Amy and blame him for her severe drug addiction so expect fireworks upon his release.

I would say I hope this latest hospital trip is a wake up call for Amy, but I’m pretty sure she’ll be on another bender before the weekend.

Do men get better looking as they get older?

Published by gossip_queen under Celebrity Edit This

Zac Efron and David BeckhamThere are plenty of young hotties around for us to feast our eyes on, namely Zac Efron, who looks even cuter than normal in this picture with the all time God of fit men; David Beckham. But while Zac is undeniably cute, is he what we’d describe as handsome? Or is that something men achieve over time?

David Beckham is definitely what I’d call handsome now, but before he was simply just “fit.” Becks is just one of a whole host of celeb heartthrobs who have got better with time.

Remember when George Clooney was on The Facts of Life? Well, he was kinda dorky. But by the time he appeared on ER, he was a total hunk.

And how about Justin Timberlake? I know he is only 27 but he has still come a long way. He went from a squeaky-clean big haired boyband member to a hot and classy performer and style king.

Take a look (and then pray that your boyfriend follows suit).

Brad Pitt

George Clooney

Johnny Depp

Jon Bon Jovi

What on earth is Katie Holmes wearing?

Published by gossip_queen under Celebrity Edit This

TomKatOh My God. Katie Katie Katie what happened? Get dressed in the dark? Taken fashion advice from Tilda Swinton? Or do you actually think this looks good?

To be fair to her though individually the items are right on trend. Gladiator shoes and baggy trousers! But mixed with a cardigan from her Nan’s wardrobe and socks with those shoes the outfit just looks hideous! What would Posh say? All that training gone to waste.

Good photography though, tiny Tom looks taller than his wife for once. Perhaps they should get the picture framed. It would also serve as a reminder to Katie to never ever go out like that again!

Sex And The City sequel and Miley Cyrus bares all

Published by gossip_queen under Celebrity Edit This

Sex And The CityRumour has it that HBO have confirmed that they are developing a follow up to the hugely successful Sex And The City movie. Discussions with Warner Brothers are apparently taking place right now.

I loved the TV show and while I didn’t think the film was amazing it was great to see the 4 girls on the big screen. But I think a follow up would ruin it. It’s a TV show, not a film, one film is enough! Quit while you’re ahead I say.

In other news; pictures of 15 year old singer and actress Miley Cyrus posing in the shower have appeared on internet forums this weekend. 

One picture apparently showed the teen wearing just a white T-shirt without any underwear.  

Children grow up so quickly these days. When I was 15 I enjoyed going bowling, to the cinema, a party every now and again. But I don’t ever recall taking sexual photographs or myself for my boyfriend… that was when I was 16, just kidding Wink

Angelina and Brad add to brood

Published by gossip_queen under Celebrity Edit This

Brad Pitt and Angelina JolieAngelina is the latest celeb to give birth. She had the twins by caesarean section on Saturday evening at the Lenval hospital in Nice. Contrary to earlier reports that both babies were girls, it has been confirmed that one is a boy.

The twins have been named Katie and Dave… ok not really, but wouldn’t that have been cool? In actual fact the boy has been named Knox Leon and the girl Vivienne Marcheline.

I’m not a fan of either name. Knox just reminds me of veteran Coronation Street Actress Barbara Knox. Is Knox supposed to be a first name? Perhaps Leon Knox would have been a better option. As for Vivienne Marcheline… in the words of Rachel from friends “Are we having an 89 year old?” Vivienne is perfectly normal, but i don’t know anyone below the age of 50 with that name.

To be fair though, when your parents are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie you could be called ‘it’ and it wouldn’t matter. They’re never going to get bullied, they’re never going to be poor and they’re going to be drop dead gorgeous!

The wonderful world of celeb baby names!

Published by gossip_queen under Celebrity Edit This

Nicole and KeithSo Nicole Kidman has called her daughter Sunday. It’s not quite as eccentric or bizarre as many other names but you can still imagine the kids in the playground “what day is it Sunday?” “what you doing on Sunday Sunday?” and that’s just the nice kids!

Why do celebrities feel the need to give their child a name that is not even a name? We all want to be original and unique but some parents are just damn right cruel when they name their kids!

Nevertheless the wacky names that celebs chose to give their children does supply us with some entertainment. Here are my top 20 favourite celebrity baby names:

20) Apple - Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. If you’re going to name your child after a fruit I think Grape would have been a much better choice…

19) Zowie - Angela and David Bowie. Yep that’s right, Zowie Bowie. He later changed his name to Joe before settling on Duncan, can you blame him?!

18) Peaches – Paula Yates and Bob Geldof. Is it just me or have we heard this name so much now that it almost seems well normal?

17) Harlow Winter – Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. This name could be quite cute except whenever I think of Harlow I think of the rough town in Essex. Not so cute.

16) Blue Angel – Aislinn O’Sullivan and The Edge from U2. Can anyone with this name ever be taken seriously? Good job she’s the daughter of a celebrity because she’d never be taken seriously in a real job. Can you imagine “Blue Angel will see you now” or “Blue Angel will be performing this operation.”

15) Rocket - Elizabeth Avellan and Robert Rodriguez. They also have kids called Racer, Rebel, Rogue and Rhiannon. Lucky Rhiannon…

14) Bluebell Madonna – Geri Halliwell and Sacha Gervasi. This could really catch on. How about Daffodil Britney? Sunflower Whitney? Or even Snapdragon Cher?

13) Princess Tiaamii – Jordan and Peter Andre. With Jordan’s love of pink and anything girly we could see this coming a mile off, doesn’t mean it’s ok though.

12) Fifi Trixibell – Paula Yates and Bob Geldof. Why do two ordinary named humans – Paula and Bob – give their children such unordinary names?

11) Lark song
– Mia Farrow and Andre Previn. The name Lark doesn’t even sound cute without the song bit on the end so god knows what went through Mia’s head when she named her daughter.

10) Tu
- Debbon Ayer and Rob Morrow. This is great, the parents knew exactly what they were doing when they named their daughter Tu (Morrow). But what were they thinking?! It may have been a fun pun at first but the poor girl has to live with that name forever, or until she marries… hopefully to someone with the surname Day…

9) Sage Moonblood - Sasha Czack and Sylvester Stallone. Any name with the word ‘blood’ in it should never be considered as a possible name for your child.

8 ) Audio Science - Shannyn Sossamon and Dallas Clayton. This sounds like a character from something like Dexter’s Laboratory. That means it should definitely not be the name of a child.

7) Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily - Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence. Take the first 3 words from this away and the name is pretty good.

6) Moon unit - Adelaide Gail Sloatman and Frank Zappa. I have nothing to say about this name other than why?!

5) Diva Thin Muffin - Adelaide Gail Sloatman and Frank Zappa. Frank and his wife were clearly high on drugs when they named their children. Diva, we can almost forgive, but Thin Muffin? WTF?!

4) Jermajesty - Alejandra Oiaza and Jermaine Jackson. Who the hell names their kid Jermajesty?! You’d expect it from Michael, but not Jermaine, the so-called sensible one of the family.

3) Pilot Inspektor - Beth Riesgraf and Jason Lee. Jason named him after a song he heard by the band Grandaddy called “He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s the Pilot”. If the man had just waited for eight more tracks on the same album he could have named him E. Knievel Interlude which is equally ridiculous but in a much cooler way.

2) Moxie Crime fighter - Emily and Penn Jillette. Nobody cares about middle names right? Fair enough, but that doesn’t explain the Moxie part…

1) Kyd - Tea Leoni and David Duchovny. Not the most kooky or downright ridiculous name but it’s my favourite because it’s just so simple yet so stupid.

Be thankful your parents aren’t stars!

David and Kyd
