In the heat of Passion...

Just read this report....oh my god, hope it was worth it.


'A Ukrainian couple's inability to rein in their passion for each other ended in tragedy when a woman was killed by a train and her partner had his legs torn off during pre-dawn love-making on a railway track, police say.

The accident took place in the southeastern Ukrainian region of Zaporizhia early on Saturday.

"Returning from our friends', my girlfriend and I could not overcome our passionate nature and wanted to feel a sense of thrill near a railway track," a police statement quoted the 41-year-old man as saying.

A police spokesman separately said on Sunday that the pair was believed to have been drunk.

The woman died on the spot while the man was hospitalised with his legs torn off below the knee.

Police did not release the names of the victims, saying it had opened a criminal probe over the safety violation.'

You think!!!!!

And Miss World is....

Miss Phillipines for the first time in the history of the contest. and Surpirse surpirse Miss New Zealand doesnt even register. CE on Miss World NZ organisers get your s... together.


Best Dressed for last week

So you would have thought the Emmys would hsave been a fashion fiesta but I personally found the fashion this year boring. Im sorry Julianne Hough (I hear you ask ...WHO?), apart from the fact you really arent the huge star you think you are but wearing a see through dress is just slutty. Its not fashion Forward its just DUMB.

SO this week my pic for best dressed is not from the Emmys but from The opening of the Metropolitan Opera's season of Eugene Onegin. Personally I think this has to be one of the most stylish dresses I have seen this year. Its wearer is actress Diane Kruger and the designer is Prabal Gurung.

Watch out for this designer. He is Nepalese by nationality born in SIngapore and first presented a collection at New York Fashion week in 2009.

OMG Strangest Shoes ever!!

So I was trolling through pictures online of royalty and I came across this doozy. You have got to be frigging joking. These get my vote for the Ugliest shoes ever. And you will not  believe who was wearing them. For some reason they remind me of the hobbits feet from Lord of the rings but maybe a more feminine version.
SO the wearer was Princess Caroline of Monaco...Usually very stylish ...what happened???

Sophia Grace Replaced

Ellen sensation Sophia Grace is no longer in the movie version of Into the Woods. Originally cast as Little Red Riding Hood, in a mutual decision between her parents and the Producers she has been replaced by Broadway star Lilla Crawford. Her father said that it had been decided that she was too young for the part.

Im sure they'll be bring out a Sophia Grace and Rosie movie very soon just like the Olsen
Twins did those terrible movies in their early teen years.

Fashion Emergency

OMG

I think someone needs to take the royal ladies of Luxembourg in hand and give them some style lessons. I have to say that Graand Duckess MariaTheresa is a bold dresser and pretty much gets it right but at Prince Felix's wedding she got it Soooooo wrong it was a train wreck. She looked like and overly stuffed wrapped candy and her daughter in law Princess Stephanie wasnt much better, although slighhtly more subdued. However for a young woman she looked like she was in her fifties.
Prevoulsy both of these royal ladies have managed to get it mostly right but on this occasion its the thumbs down
I thought the Grand duchess from the front wasnt too bad but it got worse when she turned around.

 

The Other Royal Baby

I bet Princess Michael of Kent is already scheming how she can get her granddaughter Maud who was born around the same time to Prince George of Cambridge.
Here is a pic of the other Royal baby (a bit like the other Bolyn Girl) born recently.
Picture is Mrince and Princess Michael of Kent, Lord Frederick Windsor and his wife actress Sophie Winkelman. I stil lfind it incredibly funny that an actress who played the scheming sister of the young King of England in the series 'The Palace' is now a member of the real Royal Family.



Wheres Paris Hilton when you need her?

When I look at Miley you know who, I just cringe. When you dont have talent who have to become a fame whore in the mould of the Kardashians and The original fame whore Paris Hilton. However Paris did it with class...sort of.
The latest Miley revelation is she prefers weed to cocaine...yes Miley we get it, you are not Hannah Montana anymore but please can yuo just f#%* off now.
Now as far as Paris. where is she? Well Paris Hilton has been DJ'ing in Ibiza and her latest single 'Good time' is about to drop  on Ocrtober 1st.  Expect the video to be a little more classier than a Miley Cyrus perfromance at the VMAs. Ive seen a clip of it and its sexy and reasonably tasteful....sort of.


ROyal hotness

So heres some super hot Royals you seemed to have slipped under the radar.

Princess Stephanie's two eldest children from her liaison with her bodyguard, Daniel Ducruet.

Often overshadowed by their cousins the Casiraghi's I think these two hold their own.

20 year old Louis and 19 year old Pauline are pictured with their mother. Although with no royal title they are still part of the best looking royal family on the planet.

Royal Christening Venue announced

Prince George will be christened on 23rd October in the  Chapel Royal at St James's Palace by the Archbishop of Canterbury, The Most Rev Justin Welby, with close family and godparents in attendance.
The choice of venue is a break with recent tradition, as the Queen, the Prince of Wales and Prince William were all christened in Buckingham Palace.
The Chapel Royal holds vivid memories for the Duke, as it was the place where the body of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, lay in front of the altar for a week after she died.
The Duke and his brother Prince Harry were taken to the chapel to pay their respects in private at the time, before the Princess's very public funeral at Westminster Abbey.
Royal aides said the choice of venue was “very much a personal choice” by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who considered other royal chapels including St George's Chapel, Windsor, where Prince Harry was christened.  
The chapel, built by Henry VIII in 1540, is steeped in history. Decorated by Hans Holbein in honour of Henry's short-lived marriage to Anne of Cleves, it was the place where Elizabeth I said her prayers for the defence of the realm against the Spanish Armada in 1588.
Mary I’s heart is buried beneath the choir stalls and Charles I received Holy Communion in the chapel before his execution at Whitehall in 1649.
It was also the venue for Queen Victoria's wedding to Prince Albert and its resident organists have included Henry Purcell and George Frederick Handel.
Princess Beatrice was the last member of the Royal family to be christened in the chapel, in 1988 – an occasion that was attended by the Duke of Cambridge with his mother.
The christening is likely to be the first occasion when official photographs will be taken of the Queen with her three direct successors, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince George, who will be three months old.
It will be the first time a monarch has been photographed with three heirs since Queen Victoria was alive.
The Duke and Duchess's choice of godparents, and the list of guests who will be at the christening, will be released nearer the time.

Wicked is...WIcked

Having never seen WIcked before last night I ventured out in Auckland to see the Australian production of the show.
Being like a little boy in a lolly shop I sat through the first act with a magnifiscent grim on my face. At one point I even squelled in delight when the lighting was just quite simply stunning. Blew me away.
The two leading ladies are fantastic, Elphiba was just spectacular and Galinda had obviuosly studied Kristen Chenoweth. Maggie Ki
rkpatrick( forever etched in my brain as The Freak, or those who watched prisoner will know what I mean) was fab.
I have to say I sat there during the second Act and thought this reminds me of Into the woods. The first ct was spectacular, the second not so spectacular but alot deeper. A funnily enough  my flatmate said the same thing when I returned home.

Thel ighjting , the set and the costumes were all stunning.

A spectacular night at the theatre, who needs broadway or the west end when there is talent like this in the Antipodes.

Latest Royal Wedding

And now we introduce Princess Claire of Luxembourg. Married a few hours ago to Prince Felix. Wearing an Elie Saab creation she certainly is a beauty, mind you hes not bad himself.


However I think the style star of the wedding is Beatrice Borremeo, and  I know you are saying woh the hell is she. She is the girlfriend of Pierre Casaraghi, youngest son of Princess Caroline of Monaco. Love the hat if you can call it that.

Another royal Wdding

Probably the best Lookimg of the luxembourg boys, Prince Felix has tied the knot with his beautiful Heiress bride Claire in a civil ceremony. The big religious ceremony will be this weekend and I have ot say I am looking forward to it. There will be hats galore. However I have to say I love their getaway vehicle from their civil ceremony, a contrast indeed to the coaches of the british royals

50 shades of Gay..oops grey

So the lead actor has been cast for Fifty Shades of Grey.

None other than Charlie Hunnam.Okay the name wont mean much to some of you but those who know the original British series Queer as Folk will know the name probably not the face. And from that series he definitely does not have a problem with nudity or sex scenes.

Also famous for Pacific Rim(this is not a sexual act that he performed on Queer as Folk...altho it could be) and Sons of ANarchy, he has been described as the ppor mans HEath Ledger or Heath Ledger without the talent. Personally i think thats a little unfair.

Not just one royal wedding

So who knew it would be such a huge royal weekend with not one but four royal weddings last weekend.. Okay some are royal by default but still royal.

Firstly of course there was Andrea Casiraghi's wedding in Monaco. Bit alternative if you ask me but still royal.

Then there was two royal families uniting. Prince Muhamad ALi of Egypt, Son of Kinf Fuad of Egypt (the last king) married Princess Noal Zaher of Afganistan, granddaughter of the last king there.

Then we have The King of Swedens nephew Gustaf Magnuson.

And finally we have the Aga Khans Son, Prince Rahim.

Wow busy weekend. Think Maybe the wedding in Monaco would have been the most fun!
