Savvy Shopaholic - H&M


Happy Fashion Friday everyone!

Yes, it is that time again and this week I am showing you outfits, accessories and even shoes for under €20.00 from one of my favourite high street fashion stores, H&M.

As well as giving you top looks for under 20 quid I will of course be showing you my **STAR BUY** of the week. So, here's what I've got for you this week.


Day Time Look



The first item I found for my €20.00 budget was this gorgeous Blue Button Dress for just €19.95 this is a complete steal! I have to say, first off, that H&M's current sale is fantastic, I went shopper shopping this week, and most of their items were even cheaper than Pennys and the River Island Sale, so get down their ladies!

I loved this look because it is perfect for a girl with any shape and size because the waist band is flexible. The dress is also very flowy, so no skin tight material here. Meaning if it's a roasting hot day out and you are doing a lot of walking you won't be sweating to death!

Paired with a teeny-tiny brown bag like this and tonnes of jewellery, this is perfect for that festival chic look you'll need for Oxegen.

Lunch Time/Work Look



Next up block colours are so in right now, and I'm in love with this Block Brown and White Dress  once again coming in at just €19.95, this dress is completely multi-functional as you can doll yourself up for a night out or wear this to a lunch or even wear this dress to work.

The soft re-adjustable belt means that this look can be worn by women of all sizes. The belt can be stretched to give the look of a teeny-tiny west or you can loosen it up to feel a little bit more relaxed.

For a day time look pair this dress with minimal accessories, flat sandals or wedge sandals would be perfect for this dress and some long dangle earrings would be great for the low-cut white top. For work I would pair a blazer with this look, white preferably.

Day Time Comfort Look



Next up I spotted this gorgeous Oversized Sweater  under 20 quid again, yes just €19.95!! I love dresses but I have to say some days I just want to throw on a pair of leggings and wear a comfy but stylish sweater.

This sweater is perfect for a casual day of shopping, or just meeting a friend for a coffee. You can wear this big sweater with a pair of tight blue/white/black jeans or a pair of leggings. Match this look with a long necklace to create some movement on the sweater and add some bangles and sandals to create a boho chic look.

Another good thing about this look is you could actually use an massive chunky belt and wear this like a casual day time dress. Add a pair of tights and some wedge heels, and you've got a funky day time look!

Summer Sandals



Ok moving on to shoes, I really thought I'd struggle to find a pair for under 20 quid, but I actually found loads in H&M. These Strappy Wrap Around Sandals are by far my favourite. For a really low cost of €19.95 these sandals will last you the whole summer, and trust me, they will go with everything!

From a day-time dress to being paired with tight jeans or even leggings, you can wear these ivory sandals everywhere and anywhere (except Oxegen of course). These ones really remind me of Sienna Miller's kind of style, quite boho with a splash of sophistication.

The Slimming Belt



Next I vowed to find an accessory I could match with any one of these outfits for under 20 quid and yes, I did it again! For the teeny-tiny price of €9.95 you can buy this beautiful Leather Belt and this will go with anything!

This beige colour is perfect for a white dress or matched with a pair of jeans. It would also look great with every look I have shown you today. Chunky belts used to be in fashion, but it really is the slim, sleek belt that is in this season. The two belted look is also huge right now, with stars like Gwyneth Paltrow sporting the style just this week.

A belt can make a frumpy dress slimming and can create a waist on a long top or a pair of jeans.


**STAR BUY**



Finally I have to give you guys my star buy. Yes, this is the best bargain I found this week! For just €9.95 you can own this Figure Hugging Stripe Dress.

Stripes always go in and out of fashion but for Summer 2011 they are completely in! I'm loving the material of this dress, it falls really smoothly on your body, in all the right places! So you will really get a confident boost from this one.

The great thing about a black and white stripey look is that you can add bursts of colour to make the outfit complete. For example a short bright yellow cardigan would look stunning with this dress, matched with a small brown/white clutch bag and bright coloured heels/sandals it really is the perfect summer look!
...............................................................................................................................

Well that's all from me on this gorgeous Fashion Friday. Make sure to check in with me again next week for the cheapest buys on the Internet and on the high street in my Savvy Shopaholic segment!

Abbey Clancy Marries Peter Crouch



I'm still in disbelief that she even stayed with him!!

Yes WAG Abbey Clancy and her footballer beau Peter Crouch have tied the knot! The pair who have a 4 month year old baby girl, Sophia Ruby, said their 'I d's' earlier today and the blonde model looks over-joyed!

Peter (30) proposed to Abbey (25) have been engaged since 2009 and were on the verge of splitting last year, when it emerged Peter slept with a 19-year-old escort in Spain. But suprisingly Abbey took back her cheating footballer, and announced she was pregnant just a month later.

Congrats you two, let's hope it lasts!

Jedward's Brand New Music Video


Jedward have already been rumoured to be getting 1 million to do this summer's Celebrity Big Brother, and now they have released a new single that will surely do amazing in the charts!

I have to admit, this is really catchy! Check out their new single and new video 'Bad Behaviour':



Cheryl Cole Cuts Her Hair Into A Blonde Bob!

New Hair, New Me!


OMG this is going to be huge!

A number have sources have revealed today that Cheryl Cole has chopped her hair off! According to Elisa Roche, the showbiz editor of the Daily Express, Cheryl's new do is in a short bob with her hair colour "honey", layered and "slightly feathered" at the ends.

We all know that her ex-hubby Ashley Cole loves blondes, so let's hope it's not for him. More than likely the new haircut and colour is for her lucrative L’Oréal campaign.

Twitter is going insane with people claiming the saw the singer leaving the US embassy with the new hair-cut. And leave it to her to change her hair completely the day her wax work has been revealed at Madam Tussauds wax museum in London.

Cheryl's Wax Work Shows Off Her Longer Hair-Do


On the wax figure Cheryl wears a tiara which says 'Happy Birthday' because today is the Geordie's 28th Birthday! So a new wax figure and a new look seems to be her birthday presents!

Of course, everyone will be copying the new hair style, and Loreal will reap the benefits! Amie Wilson, L’Oréal Paris Colour Expert says this look will be huge for the summer months:
"This look is the smokey eyes of hair, it’s the perfect dark blonde infused with sparkles. Fab for the summer!"

Either way this is going to be a real shocker, as Cheryl has ALWAYS worn really long, volumized exstensions. No pictures have surfaced of the new look just yet, but apparently the photos of her new do have sold for over 12,000 euros!

Prince Harry Secretly Dating Model!



So it looks like Prince Harry wasn't telling the truth when he said he was "100% single".

According to reports the royal has started dating model Florence Brudenell-Bruce (what a name!). Apparently Harry started dating the model after he finally split with on-off girlfriend Chelsy Davy.

Altough the gorgeous blonde has never dated royalty before, she used to be in a relationship with Formula 1 drive Jenson Button. 26-year-old Harry has been meeting Florence in secret over the last few months.

The new couple are said to have enjoyed a series of encounters at Florence's £2.5million home in Notting Hill, west London.



And apparently Harry and the lingerie model have actually known each other for years but have only started dating recently. A source close to the royal family admitted that the pair are seeing each other:
"It's very early days but Harry and Florence are an item. She is a lot of fun, blonde and very good-looking. Harry really likes her."

Stunning Florence, 25, nicknamed 'Flee' by her friends, is the daughter of old Etonian Andrew, now a successful wine merchant, and his wife Sophie. Florence also has some brains as well as beauty! The model has a History of Art Degree from Bristol University.

As well as a degree under her belt, the stunning blonde can add Ann Summers, John Lewis, Paddy Power and Knickerbox to her long list of modelling jobs.

When asked about their alleged relationship Florence was very vague, saying: "There's not much to say."

Florence does seem like the perfect match for Prince Harry. As well as being slim and blonde (his type exactly) she aalso has a bit of royal blood in her, she is a descendant of the seventh Earl of Cardigan who led the Charge of the Light Brigade.

Jake Gyllenhaal Dating Olivia Wilde?

New Couple Alert??

Both of these two are constantly in the headlines for romancing other stars, but now it seems they are hooking up with eachother!

Yes, hunky Jake Gyllenhaal and House star Olivia Wilde were spotted in West Hollywood's Chateau Marmont getting very cozy together this week!

Of course Olivia's rep has said the couple are "just friends" but onlookers at the top restaurant say the pair were extremely "touchy-feely" and that the Irish-born actress was totally "cool" with Jake being so forward.

But to avoid paparazzi the two left seperately and were not snapped together. Since Olivia, 27, divorced this year she had been linked to Ryan Gosling, and that romance seemed to be going strong!

Meanwhile Jake, 30, had a controversial relationship with 21-year-old Taylor Swift. After that disaster ended he was apparently hooking up with Shia LaBeouf's ex Carey Mulligan.

The one thing I would say about this is that Olivia is so not Jake's type. From Kirsten Dunst to Reese Witherspoon and his two most recent flings, Jake always goes for short skinny blondes!

Wow it's hard to keep up with these celebs and their love lives!

Ryan Philippe Hangs With Pregnant Ex-Girlfriend



So it looks like he definitely is the baby daddy!

Yesterday Ryan Phillippe was snapped in LA spending time with a very pregnant ex-girldfriend Alexis Knapp. The two, who have never been photographed together spent the afternoon chatting, and it looked very serious.

Alexis, a model and aspiring actress, dated Ryan on and off last year while working on a movie. Ryan (36) is currently dating actress Amanda Seyfried, but it looks like he will have to start spending more time with his baby momma, who is only 21!

The pair were snapped yesterday picking up cold beverages at a Coffee Bean before heading into an obstetrician's office. Ryan then kindly dropped her home.

The Lincoln Lawyer actor already has two children with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon, he's dad to Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7. Since telling press she thinks Ryan is the father back in September, Ryan has never confirmed that he is, but as they say, a picture says a thousand words!




America Ferrara Secretly Weds Long Term Boyfriend Ryan Piers!



What's with all these secret weddings?

First Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz secretly wed last week and now I can report that Ugly Betty star America Ferrara has tied the knot with her long-term boyfriend Ryan Piers.

The pair got hitched yesterday in the stunning New York home of her former co-star, and Desperate Housewives newbie Vanessa Williams. America and Ryan had a long list of celebrity friends at the bash, including Blake Lively and Amber Tamblyn (both America's co-star in the 'Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants'), Ugly Betty star Rebecca Romijn with her hubby Jerry O'Connel and many more!

Ryan proposed to the 27-year-old actress in June 2010 with a 4-carat round cut diamond worth about $70,000!! The couple are college sweethearts, the pair met at the University of Southern California when Ryan cast America in a student movie.

The two have been living together since 2007 and even share a golden retriever named Buddy, whom they refer to as their "baby". Well I'm sure there will be the real pitter patter of little feet soon!

Shia LaBeouf Says He Hooked Up With Megan Fox!!



This may cause some trouble in her marriage!

Shia LaBouef  has blurted out that he got down and dirty with former Transformers co-star Megan Fox. The 25-year-old actor was asked in 'Details' magazine whether or not he hooked up with the stunning actress.

Shia didn't directly say hes slept with the star, but he did imply something went on between them on set:
"Look, you're on the set for six months, with someone who's rooting to be attracted to you, and you're rooting to be attracted to them. I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen."

Of course Megan is now married to actor Brian Austin Green, but they did split for a short time during filming of the smash hit movie. Shia was asked if she was with Brian at the time, and he replied with quite a vague response:
"I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. . . It was what it was."
So something definitely happened betweeen the, would love to know what 'it' he is talking about... did they enjoy some sexy times?

In the recent flick Shia stars alongside Victoria's Secret Model Rosie Huntington Whiteley, but she's seeing Jason Statum. I'm sure Shia wouldn't like to rub him up the wrong way!

Louis Walsh In The All Clear



What great news!

Finally Louis Walsh has been declared innocent in the sexual assault case. Even though we all new Louis would never have sexually assaulted the 24-year-old man in question, it's great to see he has been given the all clear.

Last night the alleged victim confessed to police that he was lying about being assaulted by the music manager in a toilet cubicle in Dublin's Krystle nightclub. Louis has told the Evening Herald that he is so relieved to be named as innocent:
"It's fantastic, I'm just so relieved I've been vindicated. I heard last night about it and I'm delighted. It's such a relief to have it all over."

Louis added that the case had put a huge strain on him and his family, saying it has been a "nightmare", he added that he and his loved ones just want to move on from the whole situation:
"I always said I was innocent and now I've been cleared, I just want to put it all behind me. It's been so awful for myself and my family."

Apparently the 24-year-old man from Meath, who has three children, will face offences such as wasting police time.

Jennifer Aniston's Tattoo In Honour Of Dog



This is slighly weird but really nice at the same time.

America's sweetheart Jennifer Aniston has admitted that her first ever tattoo is in honour of her god Norman who passed away recently.

The Friends star had never been inked before, and when paparazzi spotted letters scribed on the inside of her foot, everyone thought it was a tribute to her new beau, a very tattooed Jusitn Theroux.

But alas, she isn't as crazy as Angelina Jolie, well... not really! The actress admited that the tattoo is in honour of her dog who recently died.

The 42-year-old actress was distraught when the Welsh corgi-terrier cross died last month and wanted to have an eternal reminder of his life.

As well as revealing the name on her new ink, Jennifer also talked about boyfriend Justin on Good Morning America. Although she didn't mention his name, when asked about her love life she said:
"I'm extremely lucky and extremely happy."

Getting To Know... Tara O'Farrell



She's Ireland's next up and coming tabloid sensation, you may have seen her in the finals of this years Miss Universe Ireland,  she's gracing the cover of iclothing.ie and she's a business student! Today I'm getting to know...Tara O'Farrell.

Modelling

Tara caught my eye over the last few weeks, the 24-year-old model has a striking look, with gorgeous green eyes and a stunning body. Sharing the tabloid space with the likes of Nadia Forde and Georgia Salpa, Tara is on her way to making it big time in the Irish modelling industry.

Tara is apart of Andrea Roche's modelling agency and has shot into the spotlight since getting to the Miss Universe Ireland competition. Just last two weeks ago the stunning brunette was snapped in sexy black lingerie wearing a fire cap, but Tara tells me that; although Georgia Salpa has a great career stripping off, she doesn't think it's for her:
"Georgia Salpa is brilliant at what she does, she's the best at what she does. I just don't think that really suits me. I don't think I'm that sexy type of girl."

When asked if she sees herself as a sex symbol , the Dublin Business School student replied: "No way," even though the green-eyed model looked very sexed up in the fire station shoot, she says it was only a bit of fun:
"That was just a laugh, I didn't realize I was actually going to be in a fire station, when I got there I found out there and then.I love doing fashion shows they are my favourite things to do but press calls are so fun, they can be so random."

Tara sizzled in this sexy fire-woman shoot!


Hailing from Drumcondra, the music enthusiast also admitted that she never set out to win this year's Miss Universe Ireland contest! Representing Miss Bourjois, Tara says she was asked to enter the competition but never planned on taking the title:
"Winning never came into it for me. I was asked to do it, a lot of the other girls put themselves forward and it was important to them. I was happy to be asked, but I knew I was too old to win."

Instead Listowel sports star Aoife Hannon scooped the lucrative crown, and will soon be heading to Brazil to represent Ireland in the Miss Universe final. Despite not making it to the final three in the competition, Tara says her career is booming since appearing in the publicized contest.
"Since I did Miss Universe Ireland, I've been doing a lot of press calls, and that's why I'm in the papers now."
Tara at the Miss Universe Contest


Another perk that came from Miss Universe was her modelling deal with iClothing.ie, she and a couple of other contestants were chosen to represent their new summer line and Tara's photo is spread on the front page of the fashion website.

Fashion & Beauty

As Tara begins to take centre stage in the media spotlight I asked the slim model what are her fashion favourites. When it comes to shopping Tara says she finds great bargains on the high street and then splashes out for classy events:
"When I get the chance I love to shop. My favorite shops would be Topshop, BT2, New look and I love getting bargains in Pennys. When I am going to an event or special occasion I always check out The Ivory Closet.It is an online shop that allows you to rent an amazing designer dress for a fraction of the price.New look is great for shoes and boots and Office is great for amazing heels."
She sounds like a girl right after my own heart! As well as being a professional model and a business student, Tara is also a freelance make-up artist. So I had to ask, what beauty product could she not live without:
"I am a freelance makeup artist and have worked with a number of different brands I have gone through so many phases with products.The ones that have stood the test of time though would be Estee Lauders Advanced night repair serum which I use every day and night without fail.I also love Bare Minerals foundation as it's light on the skin and has an SPF 20 which is really important to me.I love Urban Decay for eyeshadow and Mac for lipstick and lip gloss."

Acting

It's not just modelling that interests the Dublin girl. Tara admits that she has taken acting classes before and has set her sights on an acting career. The babe revealed that she has taken acting classes before and would like to pursue that part of show business:
"I went to the Gaiety Theatre School of acting for a year. Acting is definitely something I will pursue but right now I'm focusing on modelling. But I'll definitely keep my options open."



Adding that she may incorporate some acting skills into the modelling world: "I definitely want to stay in fashion and maybe even do commercials."

Love

The striking brunette, who just wrapped up her first year in Dublin Business school, also has a boyfriend of five years, as well as a blossoming modelling career. Despite her busy schedule, Tara says her musician boyfriend is okay with her hectic lifestyle:
"I'm taken. He's a musician himself so he kinda understands the industry that it is, he's cool with it."

But how does she find the time for romance, in between her photoshoots, fashion shows and freelancing? Firstly, Tara says you have to be secure in your relationship. Models Vogue Williams and Georgia Salpa are both dating men in the public eye and Tara, too, is dating a musician. Is the secret to a successful relationship in the media, dating another star?
"My boyfriend is a musician and completely understands this industry which I think helps.Most of the models I know that are in relationships are with men that aren't in this industry and they don't have any problems.Once you are secure in your relationship your job shouldn't affect it."

"Friendship in a relationship is really important.We are best friends and have such a laugh together.Common interests are also important.We both love music and spend a lot of time talking about it and watching music documentaries.We also make sure to make time in our week for eachother no matter what."



Success

And finally I asked Tara to give advice to the young models out there looking to gain as much success as she had. Everyone knows that there is a huge pressure in the industry to be stick thin, so do girls need to be prepared?
"Modelling has opened so many doors for me so quickly and I am really enjoying it.I haven't found it tough at all quite the opposite to be honest.I would recommend it to any young girl once they are secure in themselves.You have to be able for rejection and understand that you aren't going to get booked for every job."

So that's it girls be secure and confident and keep following your dreams! Watch out for stunner Tara, I have a feeling she is going to be a huge figure in the social scene and the fashion world very, very soon!

Calum Best Rants On Twitter About The Press!



Uh oh someone's rubbed him up the wrong way!

Calum Best has taken to twitter to vent about the Irish Press. Although he didn't name a specific publication, the sexy hunk vented on the social networking site, defending his relationship with Dublin model Georgia Salpa.
"So I usually don't read the #!@%*# negative press but some Irish journo did piece today saying every six months I use a different girl and take pics with em--- ok my friend get a grip, u meet someone, if u like them u try to build on a relationship, in my situation and this industry pictures will be taken. If things don't work and its not meant to be how the hell can I help that? And I'm pretty #!@%*# sure it takes two to tango and I'm not breaking anyone's arm to date me. Thank you very much."
Wow he was just dying to get that off his chest, seems like he really wants to impress Georgia doesn't it? Maybe this relationship is the real deal, and we need to forget about Calum's past.

From what I can see the Celebrity Salon star is referring to today's Herald article by the lovely Caitlin McBride, but no publication was mentioned in his rant!

Sneak Peek At Made In Chelsea Finale!



Oh I'm going to be lost when this series is over!

The latest reality series to hit our shores, Made In Chelsea, is coming to an end and I have the first sneak peek at the last episode of series 1.

Check out this clip from tonight's episode:



Teenager Survives Plane Crash For The Second Time!



This is seriously insane!

An American student will be brought out of an induced coma today after surviving a second plane crash! 16-year-old Austin Hatch suffered brain swelling when the plane he was in, being driven by his father crashed into a garage.

The crash claimed the lives of both his father and his step-mother. In a strange twist, it has been revealed that this is Austin's second survival from a plane crash.

In 2003, the basketball star teen was on board another plane which crashed and took the life of his mother, sister and brother. And get this, his father was the pilot on that plane too!

A relative of Austin has said that doctors will begin taking him off the coma-inducing medication and they are “very positive and hopeful” of his recovery.

It's crazy to think he and his father would ever get back on a plane again, obviously his dad was not a great pilot then?

Louis Walsh Releases Statement About Sexual Assault Allegations



X Factor judge Louis Walsh has released a statement re-asserting his innocence and thanking friends and family for their support.

News broke last week that a 24-year-old man has alleged that he was sexually assaulted by Louis in Dublin's Krystle nightclub back in April.

In his statement Louis sas he is angry about the claims as the alleged victim is trying to ruin his career:
"It didn't happen so therefore there is no case to answer and I am extremely angry that someone is trying to tarnish my name and reputation,"

Louis added a thank you note to everyone who has been supporting him in the last week:
"My phone has not stopped ringing with messages of support from around the world which means so much to me. I am hoping that this matter will be resolved as quickly as possible."

Among those who have stuck up for the music manager is X Factor owner Simon Cowell, who said "Like all of his close friends I will support him 100 per cent." He also recieved messages from former judge Sharon Osbourne, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole.

Westlife are backing the music manager 100%


Today he also get warm words of support from his band Westlife. Singer Shane Filan said Louis would never assault anyone:
"I have known him 15 years. There's no way he would ever act like that. It's an awful and malicious thing to suggest that he was drunk and acting inappropriately. I know he is going to clear his name. All of Westlife are behind him 100% and I would do anything to put the record straight."
The alleged attack took place right after a Westlife concert, and Shane and the lads spent the night out with their manager Louis. Shane says they met the alleged victim on the night:
"Out of nowhere this guy came up to us and said he was going to be in a dance TV show. Louis wasn't talking to him any more than the rest of us. When I heard this I was flabbergasted."

Prince Harry Says He Is "100% Single"

"Not a chance love"


So there's one more chance of getting in the Royal Family then!

Despite bringing ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy to the wedding of the year, Prince Harry has revealed that he is back on the market and not looking to settle down. And despite rumours that the ginger royalty may have some feelings for Kate Middleton's little sister Pippa, Harry says that's not true:
"Pippa? Ha! No, I am not seeing anyone at the moment. I'm 100 percent single. I'm working a lot at the moment, so dating and watching TV are the last things I have time for."
So you heard it ladies, he is available but basically... unavailable! I'm sure that someone will come along and change his mind, maybe his new pal Charlize Theron?

Max George and Michelle Keegan Turn Down £250,000 Magazine Deal!

Too In Love To Care!


This is a couple truly in love!

Michelle Keegan and Max George have apparently turned down a £250,000 offer from OK! magazine for the rights to their wedding pics!

The young couple, who became engaged last month, have said they don't want any paparazzi at their special day. A source from the magazine revealed that they were shocked when they turned down the offer:
"We thought they'd jump at the chance but they weren't having any of it. They just said they wanted this very special part of their lives to remain private."

Wanted star Max proposed to the Coronation Street actress with a £10,000 ring and pet chihuahua. He admitted that they prefer to keep their relationship out of the public eye:
"Michelle and I are together because we want to be and nothing to do with the industry. I don't think about us as being part of a celebrity couple. I just see her as Michelle and she sees me as Max."
"Our work doesn't matter when it's just the two of us. When we go out we try and keep it as quiet as we can so it's just for us. The reality TV series about our lives is never going to happen."

The singer added that the couple even hate when they see pictures of themselves in papers and on the internet:
"We cringe when we see a picture of ourselves together sometimes because we don't want to push that side of the relationship. Anyway, I don't have one of those luxury lovely homes that the magazines want to be invited into."

You think they'd take the money right? Well obviously not, sources say that Michelle is said to be close to securing a £130,000-a-year deal to continue playing Tina McIntyre on Coronation Street.

Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig Have Got Married In Secret!



Awh this is so romantic!

After a whirlwind romance, Daniel Craig has married his Dream House co-star Rachel Weisz. The couple are only together since November when they met on set of the new movie.

According to sources they had a very "low-key" wedding with only their two children (Daniel's 18-year-old daughter Ella and Rachel’s four-year-old son Henry) and two family friends as witnesses! A source said the couple didn't want to make a big deal about the wedding:
"Daniel and Rachel insisted on having a small, quiet wedding. They are madly in love and couldn't wait to be husband and wife – but they wanted minimum fuss."

Weisz's publicist confirmed the wedding Sunday, but offered no other details other than to say it took place "recently."

The Mummy star Rachel, 41, started dating Craig, 43 after she split from her long-term partner and the father of her son, Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky. And Daniel apparently split from his fiance Satsuki Mitchell right before he started filming with Rachel.

The pair were snapped together at Christmas.


The pair have been friends for years but allegedly fell for each other after they both starred in the upcoming thriller Dream House, where the play as husband and wife, art imitating life much?

They kept their romance a secret but it was exposed after they spent Christmas together, and then in May they were spotted together in Paris.

Kerry Katona Says She's Homeless and Bankrupt



How did she afford that week in Marbella then??

Kerry Katona has claimed that she has been thrown out of her house by her management, and has to find somewhere else to go by 5pm today.

The reality star had been living in a £5,000-a-month rented home in Surrey, paid for by her managers at Can Associates. However the former singer and the management company split earlier this month, rumours circultaed that they couldn't handle her constant partying, and when pics surfaced of her drunk in Marbella they decided to let her go.

But the former drug addict said at the time that she actually left them, saying:

"Contrary to recent press reports, I was not 'dumped' by CAN Associates. It was my decision to leave, as on a professional level my career was taking a direction that I did not want, nor did I feel was appropriate."


So I think you know who to believe in that story! Now Kerry says the company was paying her rent, paying for her nanny and giving her an allowance. Today she claims she is being forced out of her house and is completely broke:
"I've been told I must be out of the house by 5pm even though I don't have another place to go to. I've got just £400 left in my bank account, which is very scary because I need to put food in my children's bellies."

Kerry added that on top of everything else, she actually owes the management companys thousands:
"On top of that I owe my former management about £350,000. I can't praise them enough for rescuing me from the terrible situation I was in last year when I was battling drugs and bankruptcy. They took control - paid for my home, my nanny, my mobile phone."

"Most of what I earned went straight towards paying off my bankruptcy - and I was only ever given pocket money by them. I am still bankrupt, despite working my butt off for the last 17 months."

She added that she is so desperate that she's had to turn to ex-husband and the father of two of her children Brian McFadden for help, but he hasn't got back to her. I wonder is that because he's off partying with Vogue Williams?

Fashion Fix - Delta Goodrem



Wow doesn't she look stunning?

Aussie babe Delta Goodrem left paparazzi in a spin when she arrived at LA X airport sporting a gorgeous tan and a massive smile.

The songstress only just broke up with fiance Brian McFadden on April 1st but the 26-year-old looked happier than ever, sporting tight light blue jeans and a beautiful terracotta string top.

The blonde looked stunning in the coral top, adding bangles, a gold charm necklace beige sandals and of course had her sunglasses at the ready!

Maybe the singer is that little bit happier thanks to her new beau, 18-year-old Nick Jonas. The pair have been inseparable the last few weeks, and have been writing music together for the past few months.

So it seems that Brian's romance with Irish model Vogue Williams hasn't bothered Delta one bit! They both seem to be in rebound relationships though, will they last?

Made In Chelsea's Spencer Says Ex Funda Is "Immature" and "Rehearsed"



I just can't get enough of the new reality series Made In Chelsea.

Earlier today I reported that it's star on and off couple Spencer Matthews and Caggie Dunlop had been pictured drunk together and getting very cozy, and now Spencer has been opening his mouth about ex-girlfriend Funda Onal.

The 22-year-old broker lashed out at his ex-dancer/model girlfriend saying she was always too "rehearsed". Spencer dumped Funda, 29, on camera, in order to get close to long-time friend Caggie, so I'm not surprised Funda is a little pissed, but Spencer says he's completely wiped his hands of her.
The hunky star said
"Funda has behaved with incredible immaturity. After our break up, she was rude and aggressive and I’ve had to blank all contact with her. Wiped her numbers, deleted her photos. She’s so rehearsed, she’s full of one-liners. Whenever she said anything, I thought, "How long have you spent practicing that in the mirror?"'
OUCH, that's got to hurt! Spencer and Funda were dating for over a year, but he really had to try hard to get her in the first place (sound familiar?). Apparently he sent Funda a red rose every day until she agreed to be his girlfriend.

Caggie caused a strain on their relationship.

But that romantic side to their relationship is long gone. Spencer continued to blast his ex saying: "She’s boring. Any of her happiness in the future isn’t going to come from me."

Funday says that problems began to surfarce in their relationship when they returned from holiday and moved in together in Chelsea. She said the more time she spent with Spencer and his friends, she realized she didn't like his lifestyle:
"Spencer’s self-absorbed, the more time he spent around his affluent friends, the more arrogant he got. And now he won’t speak to me, which is nice considering that he is the one who cheated."

Is she speaking about Caggie there? As far as us viewers know there was no cheating at all! The wannabe actress continued, saying he had a strange outlook on life:
"Spencer and I had blazing rows. He once said he thinks it’s selfish to have children if you don’t have a million pounds in the bank. And I went nuts. That’s such an ignorant opinion. Another time, I told him that, as a northern girl, I’d love to land a role in Coronation Street. He said that would be lowering myself and common and if I accepted a job in Corrie then it would be over. Which is weird, because now he’s in a reality TV show. How does that work?"'
Spencer was briefly dating Chloe Green


Yikes, well whatever really went down between them it certainly didn't end well. Since splitting Spencer has been linked to Topshop heriess Chloe Green, and of course sparked rumours of a romance with co-star Caggie again when they were spotted together last night.

Lauren Conrad and Kyle Howard Have Split!

SPLITSVILLE!!


Oh no poor LC!

Multiple sources have confirmed to E! News that Lauren Conrad and boyfriend Kyle Howard have split up.

The pair, who have been dating for three years, have never had any public rows, or allegations of infedelity, they have actually had a really drama-free relationship. But something obviously went wrong as the pair have broken up for good it seems.

Sources close to the couple say that Kyle (33) and his 24-year-old designer girlfriend decided to end their relationship as a "mutual decision" and that there were "no third parties involved".

Rumours had been spreading this year that actor Kyle was ready to get down on one knee, and with the 9 year age difference, it seemed possible that Kyle was ready to settle down.

Maybe that's why they split? First George Clooney breaks up with his girlfriend because she wanted to get married, has LC done the same thing?

Fashion Fix - Elizabeth Hurley



Happy Fashion Friday people!

In the fashion spotlight today is the amazing Elizabeth Hurley. The 46-year-old actress looked stunning  in this long, one-shouldered leopard print dress.

I'm loving the crystal bangle she's wearing here and her chunky earrings are elegant and glitzy!

Liz stepped out with boyfriend Shane Warne, just as her divorce from ex-hubby Aran Nayar had come through. Liz has been dating Shane since she first announced her split from Aran, just four months ago.

The happy couple were snapped for the first time on the red carpet, as they attended Thursday's White Tie and Tiara Ball in the English estate of Elton John and Partner David Furnish.

They sure know how to throw a party! And doesn't Liz look incredible for 46??

Kim Kardashian Proves Her Butt Is 'Real' With An X-Ray!

Kim then wrote "Haha! The things my sisters have me do! Proof baby!... See, it's REAL!!! LOL."

The 30-year-old is currently planning her big white wedding to NBA star Kris Humphries.

Jedward Getting 1 Million To Appear On Celebrity Big Brother!!



Is there anything that these guys can't do?

Dublin twins John and Edward Grimes, aka Jedward, are set to pocket £500,000 each to appear on this year's Celebrity Big Brother. The show that made stars like Chantelle Houghton famous, is set to be revived by Channel 5 this summer.

After being axed from the X Factor the 19-year-old brothers have become multi-millionaires, while the shows winner, Joe McEldry has lost his recording contract and has moved back into his parents house! OUCH!!

A source revealed that the singing duo are over the moon with the new deal: "The lads can’t believe their luck – a cool half a million each."

And apparently Channel 5 bosses have a “wishlist” of stars that they want for the comeback show. The list includes: Charlie Sheen, Imogen Thomas, Wayne Rooney, call girl Helen Wood and former Harrods boss Mohamed Fayed.

Imogen Thomas and Ireland's own Top Model Georgia Salpa may be on the show!

I think they are dreaming there, with dropping names like Sheen and Rooney, that would never happen. But sources have already been saying that Imogen will take the job, and I've been hearing whispers myself that Ireland's own Top Model Georgia Salpa may have been offered a spot. Throw Calum Best in there, and now it gets interesting! So three Irish stars may be on this summers show!

Jedward have gained some extra fans since representing Ireland in this years Eurovison Contest, and caused some controversy when John apparently snogged German singer Lena.

Their most recent single 'Lipstick' shot up the charts all over Europe, and now it looks like their names will be on everyone's lips once again!

Do you think this will be a good move for them? Remember what happened to Jade Goody when she went back on the show, her career was ruined!

Is Fade Street Coming Back? Cici Cavanagh Reveals All!

Is there any love for Fade Street?

Everyone has been dying to know if Fade Street will be back on our screens anytime soon, and now one if it's stars, Cici Cavanagh is finally putting the rumours to rest.

The stunning DJ and model has revealed that Fade Street is "unlikely" to return,  but she has claimed that the four stars of the series incuding Danielle Robinson, Louise Johnston and Vogue Williams, are set to make a new show on a different TV station!

Cici told me that she and the rest of the nation really want to find out if a second season is going ahead: "We are genuinely dying to know. but right now it doesn't look likely."


Cici is quickly becoming Dublin's newest fashionista!

The funky blonde explained that despite massive ratings, RTE aren't willing to give the show another chance. That sounds insane right? Well Cici doesn't understand it either:
"At the end of the day it's not down to the people. It is the most watched show on RTE Player in history. They've even re-released it and put it back on the RTE Player for the summer. To think that RTE would put it back on because it is so popular, but not give us a second series is completely bizarre." 
"There's possibly people in RTE, who are in charge of commissioning the shows, who didn't like it. When it comes down to it that really is the issue."

But don't worry all you Fade Street addicts out there, Cici (20) says that all the girls are set to make a new show. Their production company, Straywave Media, which also produces the amazing Celebrity Salon, are fighting to keep the four young girls together.


Cici says the girls WILL be back, but with a new show!

The Palmerstown native says all four girls will be back on Irish television again, but not on RTE:
"There's a possibility that Fade Street itself will never come back but I definitely believe that all of us will be back doing something similar together. Maybe the concept of Fade Street won't come back but I'm nearly 100% sure that we'll all be involved in something similar that will come out in the future. It definitely wouldn't be with another production company. More so, it might be another TV station other than RTE."

But this new reality series may not be that similar to the previous series. The tiny-waisted model admitted that this time round she and the girls would like their show to focus on parts of their lives that weren't fully explored during Fade Street.

While RTE were more concerned with showing the ins and outs of their personal lives, Cici says they would like something different with their new show:
"I would want them to focus in on the parts of our lives that we actually wanted to show. All four of us are such busy, proactive people that when Fade Street was filming they were only focusing on one or two aspects of our lives."
Cici is currently Djing with The Beauty Spot

Meanwhile the blonde, who is currently on tour Djing with The Beauty Spot, claimed that she, Louise, Vogue and Dani would never agree to do a show similar to 'Geordie Shore'. The hit UK replica of MTV's 'Jersey Shore' is a massive success and shows young people getting drunk, having affairs and fighting in public.

When asked if maybe Fade Street viewers wanted to see that side to the girls, Cici said that will never happen:
"Maybe people were let down that we weren't as debolturous on the show, but none of us are prepared to behave in a certain way. If that came up we wouldn't do it, we don't want to make complete shows of ourselves."

PS!!
