L’Wren Scott. What’s she got?

  What is it about L’Wren Scott?

L’Wren Scott accounts for eight out of ten hits on this site.

Why?

Am I missing something?

She’s tall.

She’s got got Sir Mick Jagger.

What else has she got that causes so much curiosity?

I wish someone would enlighten me.

Telling it like it was!

Jerry Hall (51) is reported to have been paid one million for her autobiography describing her twenty-three years as the wife of the main man of the Rolling Stones, Sir Mick Jagger. 

As the columist in the Dail Mail points out that might make Sir Mick just a bit nervous. But can Jerry tell us anything new that the sleaze-hungry media hasn’t already ferreted out? 

These celebrity ‘tell-all’ autobiographies are really ten a penny and many of them flop. And the trouble is - once you’ve read one you’ve read them all.

Personally, I’ll give it a miss but I’ll bet my last dollar it will sell in its thousands.

The best!

Someone I really admire is esteemed novelist Doris Lessing who at 87 years of age has won the 2007 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Lessing’s career spans 57 years during which time she has produce some outstanding novels. Of course prize winning is nothing new to Lessing but I think the Nobel Prize must top the lot.

Good on yer, girl!

Sock it to ‘em, Doris!

A change is as good as a rest

I have had some harsh things to say about Kate Moss in the past - no, I am not going to take them back.

Maybe she is trying to redesign herself but everyone knows that old adage - the leopard can’t change his spots. A bleached barnet does not change what is under the hairdo.

At least she and Pete Dogherty are split. That is a plus in her favour. Now romance blooms with guitarist, Jamie Hince of  The Kills. We’ll see what kind of an influence he is on her.

We’ll be watching, of course.

Her power over men!

It is just over a year ago that I commented on Heather Mills’ dress sense - or lack of.  The divorce between Heather and Sir Paul was in full battle cry then and still it drags on.

But our girl is remains full of fight - bless her. And one must admire her quick changes. Kicking high one minute in a TV Celebrity dance show then reduced to a wheelchair for the most recent divorce negotiations appearance. One has got to give it to her - she knows how to work the audience be it judges or judges!

A close friend said: ‘Heather feels she has this power over men…’  It is good to feel good about oneself - but let’s get real.

The friend also said that Heather’s struggle with Sir Paul in the divorce has not been all about money - but then goes on to say that Heather just wants to be free to ‘cash in’.

 PS  The Daily Mail Saturday 13th October 2007

A friend of Heather reports that she is ‘quietly confident’ of the outcome.

 Oh well, maybe this time next year it will all be over.

Aunty Celeb is back!

Aunty Celeb is back commenting on Celebrity stories in her favourite daily newspaper - the Daily Mail.

Aunty Celeb is certain ‘celebrity’ is a disease which softens the brain - it is the only explanation.

We see celebrities of all sexes prancing about in the most horrendous ‘fashion’ outfits making spectacles of themselves or see them swapping lovers at the drop of  - well, at a drop!

But then, why should the rest of us complain. It is so entertaining!

Aunty Celeb gets it wrong!

Well!  I was led up the garden path!  KM and PD did not really marry after all - just some kind of  ‘togetherness’ ceremony? What’s the point of that? Oh! Of course! Silly me.  All for publicity. As if they need more of that.

Marriage - I thought it was a bit too normal for that pair. 

What next I wonder? 

Aunty Celeb

 

Just deserts?

Most decent folk have been waiting to see Kate Moss get her just deserts and now it happened - she has married Pete Dogherty.   I can’t think of two people who deserve each other more. The mind boggles!

 But it’s a puzzle. Two people who flout convention at every turn embrace the oldest convention of all - marriage.  Why? What’s in it for either of them?  Could it have something to do with money?

Can’t wait for the divorce. It’ll be the messiest yet.

Fight to the death

Daily Mail Wednesday 27

 The lawyers of Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills are slugging it out blow for blow in this particularly public and unsavory divorce.

According to Richard Simpson the Daily Mail’s Showbusiness Reporter,  Heather Mills ”…feels that her character has been irrevocably damaged…”

I don’t know about her character but judging by the photograph of her in today’s issue her dress sense must be suspect. She appears in an absolutely ghastly strapless dress, if it can be termed a dress; a kind of a reeved knee-length tube or smock, with a tight patterned band across the bust and a identical band around the tops of the thighs.  Dreadful! This is worn over jeans. I ask you!

Whoever designed this monstroity is getting money for old rope.  But there you are. Some people, if they have no dress sense of their own, will buy anything. Of course, it could have been borrowed. Either way it’s a mess.
