Birthday Suits You, Sian Lloyd, Madonna And Mehmet Ali Agca

IN Hello!, Sian Lloyd, former weather girl and fiancee to Cheeky Chappie Lembit Opik, is making a “tribute to Madonna”.

Why Ms Lloyd should do this is not immediately apparent, what with her looking and sounding not a bit like the singer.

Reading on, we learn that Lloyd turns 50 this year, as does Madonna, and therein lies the theme for the conceit.

Readers may be interested to know that others turning 50 this year are Irish on-the-spot dancer Michael Flatley, screeching Seventies singer Kate Bush, Pope shootist , Michelle Bauer star of Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers), Simon Le Bon, Thomas ‘The Hit Man’ Hearns, Michael Jackson and Charlene Tilton.

Cherly Cole’s Lunger

IN “CHERYL STALKER TERROR,” the Star says a man has grabbed Cheryl Cole and held her in a “terrifying bear hug”.

Who would not be terrified to be hugged in public, it being the anathema of things British, at least those halycon days of pre-Diana Britain?

But does this make the “crazed fan” a stalker?

To our mind a stalker is someone who walks with long stiff strides in the pursuit of fair game and meat. And looking at Cole, we find little by way of sustenance and note that the man moved with a “lunge”…

Fishy.

Gordon Smart Wastes Space With Amy Winehouse

THE SUN’S Gordon Smart – pink tie, light grey suit, white shirt, estate agent out – says he’s had enough of Amy Winehouse going on and on and on about her husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

Zip it, Wino,” says the headline. She should “give us a Blake”.

i almost wished I was in Nelson Mandela’s old prison cell when she brought up her waste-of-space husband at Mandela’s 90th birthday gig on Friday

Blake is such a waste of space that Smart uses two pages to comment on just how big a waste of space Blake is.

I like my small bosoms. I think they’re lovely…But when I do the jealous [act] when Holly [TV presenter Holly Willoughby] wears a fabulous frock and we go to a party and I look like a boy in a dress. She says, ‘I’ll give you my boobs if I can have your legs and I can wear skinny jeans.’ But I’m sure she’d like her boobs back.

Cheryl Cole Passes Diamonds

ASHLEY Cole, vomitous footballer to Wag Cheryl Cole, is wooing his allegedly cuckolded wife with loadsa prezzies.

For the occasion of Cheryl’s 25th birthday, C-Ashley bought her a villa in Spain, a plate of tofu in champagne sauce, and a cake shaped like a handbag and studded with “£5,200 of edible diamonds”.

Can a Wag live by lo-cal diamonds alone? And if not, should she throw them up?

He is going to get one of me but he won’t let me get one. He doesn’t like tattoos on women. He thinks I look pure

Dead Calm Birth: Nicole Kidman Flauts James Galway

THE new OK!-styled Daily Mail reports that Nicole Kidman is compiling a birthing CD for the occasion of the arrival of her first born.

And who is on the list? Why none other than himself, James Galway:

“Nicole has been putting together CDs of music to listen to during labour. She has always loved James Galway, particularly his classical albums. Whenever you go to her house, she has Galway on. There is one Prokofiev sonata that is her favourite.”

What joy is must be to live with Kidman, a bit like being stuck in a lift with a taller Anthea Tuner.

This is the Galway, who appeared on TV shows in the 70s and early 80s to remind the watching millions that not all bearded men were the Yorkshire Ripper and not all bearded Irishmen led the Provos.

Ben ‘Call Me Sir’ Kingsley On Acting Talent

ON the talent:

Some young people are told they’re actors and they’re not. It’s unfair to exploit a young person who may look good on a magazine cover and tell them they can be in movies. You’re lifting their expectations so high and then pulling the rug from under their feet when the audience gives them a thumbs-down. We throw people away too easily but should never invite them in the first place.”

Hired on looks alone? It’s why it’s called talent, Sir Ben…

Celebrity Quote Of The Day: Stella McCartney

STELLA McCartney is “perched on a purple pouffe in the beautiful inner sanctum of her London shop”.

She is in conversation with Grazia:

“I remember doing my A levels and, as I left, this girl came chasing after me. I was trying to get away because I knew what she was going to say: ‘You’re Paul McCartney’s daughter, aren’t you?’ She then looked at me and said: ‘I know exactly what it feels like: I’m the vicar’s daughter.’ At the time, I thought she so didn’t have a clue, but as I’ve got older I’ve realised she completely did.”

Indeed…

Jessica Biel Blogs My Space

HOLLYWOOD actress Jessica Biel is on MySpace! It is required reading:

Hello MySpace!

Okay, so I’m sitting in my trailer between set-ups and I am praying for a surge of inspiration to make my first blogging experience a positive one.

I definitely did not make it onto the debate team in high school so I’m feeling extremely insecure about communicating publicly for the first time via the blogosphere (how about that word for a novice?). I’m still getting the lingo down. I have been “internet challenged” long enough and am thrilled to join the tech revolution! Plus, I only have four friends and am in dire need of more. Just kidding, I have six.

Anyway, not only do I feel cooler being an official blogger, but I’m also realizing that this is a perfect place to share some projects that I’m working on that I’m really excited about. I’m trying on the producer cap with my friend, Michelle, with our production company Iron Ocean Films. We made a thirty minute short last year, called Hole in the Paper Sky about a man’s experience after meeting a dog that changes his life. I think it’s a really evocative, beautiful film, and it has won an award at all four festivals where it has screened. I’ll put up a trailer as soon as I can figure out how to do that:) I hope that animal lovers will be moved by this film as well because it has an animal rights element to it, which I’m a huge advocate for. I’m actually sitting here with my dog, Tina. She’s not really into blogging.

We also have a feature in development with United Artists, called Die A Little based on a book by Meagan Abbott. It’s a noir set in Hollywood during the glamorous 1950’s. I loved the book and I think it has major cinematic potential, but I’m getting a firsthand look at how difficult development is. Hopefully, I won’t be too old by the time we shoot this thing so I can play the main character. Fingers crossed.

Also, considering the state of the world right now, I’ve been discovering some really amazing nonprofit organizations that are giving back to the planet and the people in wonderful and innovative ways. I’m going to try to highlight one that I’m really interested in every month. To find out more information on how to donate, check out mtdn.com. MTDN is the business that my family created to provide support for non profits.

Okay, that’s it for now. I’m headed back to set. Hopefully this was a successful first try and I’ll catch ya on the flip side!!

Next week, Jessica writes about writing second blog post and peace…

Celebrity Quote Of The Day: Heidi Montag, Sex Tapes And God

HEIDI Montag is a neon-toothed, blonde US reality TV show star blessed with that American accent that sounds like the noise made when you squeeze a wet hand under a wet armpit and flap. Says she:

“I don’t even want to talk about that. There were rumors about a sex tape, but I had nothing to do with that. God knows the truth in all of this, and at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters. Jesus was persecuted, and I’m going to get persecuted, ya know? But it doesn’t matter to me.”

She goes on:

“I have been the most religious person since I was 2 years old. I always felt this crazy connection to God”

Let us pray…

Celebrity Update: Shopping With Kerry Katona

CELEBRITY Quote of the Day: Shopping With Kerry Katona

The News of the World has an interview with Kerry Katona’s mum Sue:

And she was stealing, too. She took me along and showed me how to do it. She got lists off schoolfriends for things they wanted, then she’d pinch the stuff and sell it to them.

Mum’s gone to Iceland?

I’d have been spotted a mile off but Kerry was really innocent-looking. I remember going into Superdrug. I’d move the things I wanted, like toothpaste or toothbrushes, to the front of the shelf.
