Brangelina back in the USA

After several months in Europe, whilst Angelina filmed The Tourist in Venice, Brangelina have brought their sizable brood back to the States. This weekend they were seen enjoying a beach party and the couple seemed affectionate with each other, as the watched their eldest two, Maddox and Pax, hit the surf on boogie boards. Perhaps all is well in the world of the Jolie-Pitts after so many rumours to the contrary?

Bank Holiday Outing for the Reid-Prices

Presumably Junior and Princess were with their Dad, Peter Andre, this weekend - let's hope they were having fun. Poor Harvey's face seemed to mirror the moods of mum, Katie, and her current husband, Alex, as the family visited the new attraction Lost Island Encounter in Sidcup, Kent.
Rumour has it that the couple are rowing as the pressure of fertility treatment takes its toll. Ever sympathetic and understanding, Katie has told Alex, "I've had loads of babies in the past. This is your problem, not mine." Apparently she is furious as she has discovered that Alex had tried to have a baby with a previous girlfriend and that their attempts had also ended in frustration. She can't believe that she told the world they were about to get pregnant, when her man has a low sperm count. Celebritree wonders whether this will have taught Katie a lesson about keeping her own counsel on personal matters...!

Good news from Celine Dion

It seems Celine Dion and her aging husband, René's dreams have come true, as news reports say that the singer is pregnant with twins, rumoured to be girls. The couple have been trying for a brother or sister for son (yes, that is boy), René-Charles, for some years. After many failed attempts, Celine is going to take it easy for the next few months (good news indeed). Celebritree hopes that Celine's happiness continues - no more long faces, please, Celine!

Miley Cyrus struggles to stay upright

Hmm, Miley Cyrus has a new pair of sky-high Louboutins. Unfortunately nobody seems to have taught the young star how to walk in them and she struggled on some steps in Madrid. Celebritree feels that Miley should turn to another celebrity heel wearer for a few tips - surely VB can provide some insight in how to stay upright whatever challenges face you in heels? Failing that, Celebritree is sure that that other young heel-wearer, Suri Cruise, could offer a tip - if all else fails, perhaps Miley should get dad, Billy Ray, to carry her...

Kerry shopping with her new man

For someone who has not long been declared bankrupt, Kerry Katona seems to spend a lot of time shopping. Still, this bank holiday weekend she was hardly pushing the boat out as she ventured to IKEA to furnish her new home. In tow was her new man of the moment, Adam Waldron. After her last break-up, Kerry doubted that she could ever trust again. Celebritree is glad to see that she has already been able to bounce back - does this furniture shopping mean that Kerry is planning to nest with her new man already? In case anyone doubts her feelings, Kerry decided to confess to the News of the World (as you do, in Kerry's crazy world): "He has turned my life around. I feel so in love. I just hope it lasts." As Adam is based in Cheshire (he lives with his parents in Kerry's hometown of Warrington), maybe Kerry's move to her expensive house in Surrey was a little premature...

Charlotte and Gavin - another celebrity coupling bites the dust

It seems like just yesterday that Charlotte and Gavin were announcing the news of their engagement. Just a few weeks later, the news has emerged that the couple have split. They have stated that nobody else is involved, but rumour has it that Char had been jealous of Gav's relationship with Susie Amy (actress from Footballers' Wives) - they have been filming a reality show together, in Norway.
Gavin has decided to avoid the press fracas by going off on a lads' holiday in Benidorm, having just returned from filming in Norway, and another lads' holiday in LA. Meanwhile, Charlotte was being comforted by her mum and ventured out to take their kids, Ruby and Dexter, to McDonald's - cutting a rather sad figure.
'Friends' close to the couple say that the split isn't entirely unexpected as the couple had been rowing continuously over the last 18 months or so. Whilst Charlotte has slimmed down and focused on her career, Gavin's career seems to have been on the slide - so that he is now appearing on reality shows with Susie Amy and Shane Ritchie.

Cheryl and Derek at the O2

Whilst Cheryl has been cavorting around Europe with Black Eyed Pea, Will.i.am, Derek Hough, who comforted her immediately after her split from Ash in LA, has been busy with Pussy Cat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger, winning Dancing with the Stars. However, it seems he has some time on his hands now, and apparently Cheryl begged him to come over and spend some time with her at her former marital home. In fact, Derek even joined Cheryl on stage at the O2 to reprise the passionate dance from the video to her track, Parachute. In between all these romantic encounters, Cheryl has apparently found time for a clear out and has been giving away a lot of her bling - gifts from her ex husband. Ma Tweedy is apparently the beneficiary... Celebritree is sure she has plenty of opportunity to go out dripping in diamonds - perhaps it will make a good impression when she attends her son's court case...

Jenson Button back on the market

Good news for single girls - foxy Jenson Button is back on the market after ditching his dediated model girlfriend, Jessica Michibato. Although he had mentioned a potential engagement in the occasional interview, seems Jenson just wasn't committed enough to the girl who followed him around the world, patiently waiting at the finish line at every Grand Prix.
Oh well, Jessica's loss is some other lucky girl's gain, although Celebritree imagines that Jenson may well be returning to his playboy ways (that followed the break up of his engagement from Fame Academy contestant, Louise Griffiths, 3 months before their wedding).

Alex and Katie go to the ball

Hmm, Alex Reid and Katie Price have been keeping a rather low profile of late. Clearly there has been a dramatic decline in the opening of envelopes around London so the pair haven't had an excuse to get their glad rags on and get papped.
Thankfully they were invited to the Give a Child a Life ball last night. Katie showed off her legs, but unusually chose to cover up on top - not sure that a fur jacket was really necessary though - it is rather mild in London at the mo.
Celebritree is wondering whether Katie ever looks at the weather forecast before deciding on her wardrobe choices for the day...

Nadine stands up for Coyle-ostomy

Nadine Coyle of Girls Aloud has found a new way of filling her time as the world anxiously awaits her solo album (when, Nadine, when?). Yes, Nadine has agreed to become the face of colostomy bags! Apparently one of her friends has recently had an operation in January, meaning he has to use a colostomy bag for the rest of his life. Nadine is keen to "smash the taboo" surrounding colostomy bags, as she believes the "pretence of body perfection" makes it difficult for these people to feel sexy and confident. Well, it's certainly a more worthy way of getting in the papers than showing how thin you are or fighting with your bandmates.

SATC London Premiere

So, the ladies of SATC enjoyed a warm welcome to London last night as their new movie premiered in Leicester Square. SJP chose to repeat the designers she chose for the last premiere in London with a dress by Alexander McQueen and huge hat by Philip Treacey. (Celebritree imagines that the people behind her in the cinema must have been thrilled by her hat!) Celebritree is really not sure that black is SJP's colour and the hat proved to be rather difficult as she struggled to get into a car (although Celebritree has had similar problems in the past so fully sympathises). Kim looked the height of glam, Cynthia's hair had something strange going on, although she wore a great colour on her but Kristin was the fashion winner of the night in Celebritree's opinion.

One person who definitely WASN'T a winner was Amanda Holden. What were you thinking Amanda? You look like an aging fairy from a Christmas tree. If you were trying to pay tribute to Carrie's tutu, Amanda, it went badly wrong...

Happy birthday Shiloh!

Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt turns 4 today. Apparently she is having a pirate or soldier themed birthday party - whichever it is, we can be pretty sure it won't involve fairies or ballet or anything sissy like that. Apparently Brangelina have been rowing as Ange hasn't wanted to invite Brad's parents. If only they would invite Suri - Celebritree feels that those two 4 year olds could open up whole new worlds to each other: Suri could actually try walking, running and getting her pretty clothes grubby and Shiloh could be introduced to the occasional dress and sparkly hair clip. Heavens forbid! They might become normal...

Fergie in Strictly Shocker

It seems that Fergie was approached by the BBC to bolster their line-up for the 2010 series of Strictly Come Dancing. (Clearly we are talking about the Duchess of York here and not Fergie of Black Eyed Peas fame, who is far too busy battling bandmate Will.i.am as they allegedly both try to get it on with the nation's sweetheart® whilst on tour with her.)
No, rather it emerges that the DofY turned down a generous 5 figure fee to appear on the show, as she didn't seem keen to put in the gruelling training involved. (Can't say I blame her, she'd be sure to get palmed off with Anton Du Bek.) However, Celebritree is wondering how poor, broke Fergie could bring herself to turn down those spondoolies - although clearly introducing folks to her ex husband pays better...
Fergie is apparently going to put everything right with the American public (at least) by appearing on Oprah.

Celebrating their love

Jack and Chanelle have been doing what any D-list (do they qualify as D-list?) celebrities do when they find love - celebrating by telling OK magazine all the heart-warming minutiae of their romance.
So, Chanelle has revealed that she hasn't 'put out' for Jack yet. She just thinks that's vulgar when she's expecting another man's child. Jack proves just what a gent he is too, saying that he doesn't mind - after all, he went without for 6 months while in prison, so he's found ways to cope. Apparently Chanelle is a "great kisser" and "when you do feel a bit saucy you can always find some way of helping yourself". TMI Jack.
Jack has also said that he no longer sees Jade's children, as their father, Jeff Brazier, has refused to give him access, following Jack's various run-ins with the law. Jack, charming as ever, reckons that Jeff must be jealous of his relationship with Bobby and Freddie. Can't imagine why else Jeff might not want the boys having Jack as a role model...

The Cruise-Holmes Family dines out

Just when Celebritree thought that the Cruise-Holmes parents had put their foot down and demanded Suri dress appropriately, Suri's back in her heels again. Presumably her heels were hurting as dad Tom had to carry her as they made their way home from a New York eatery. He looked like he was struggling rather - the way Suri is growing, it won't be long before she can throw her dad over her shoulder and carry him home (as long as she is wearing comfy footwear)

At last

Cheryl has finally found the time in her busy schedule to issue Ashley with divorce papers, just in time for the World Cup (regular readers will recall that Ashley wanted Chezza to wait until after his foray to South Africa). Apparently the divorce papers cite his 'unreasonable behaviour'.
As per, all the papers seem to be lauding Cheryl as a heroine for dumping her hubby after 4 years of marriage. As the 'celebrity of the moment' and 'the nation's sweetheart', it seems everyone had an opinion on the Coles' marriage and various surveys showed Cheryl that she would lose a lot of respect from her fans if she didn't dump her love-rat husband.
Celebritree is rather hoping that Cheryl made her own decision...

VB Premieres her LG Ad

Victoria Beckham was out last night promoting her new ad with pal, Eva Longoria, for LG phones. Victoria wore one of her own designs - the short version of the dress that she wore for the post-Oscars party.
Victoria also showed off a new hairdo. And goodness me! Is that a smile on her lips..?

Suri Cruise back in shoes

Phew! Suri was out dining with both Mum and Dad in New York this week and Celebritree was relieved to see that Suri was wearing shoes. And sensible ballet pumps - none of these crazy baby heeled dancing numbers.


Celebritree thinks that Suri and Shiloh-Nouvel Jolie-Pitt should swap wardrobes for a week. Just to see how they get on.

Another Premiere

SATC wasn't the only thing premiering last night. On this side of the Atlantic, Peter Andre stepped out to promote his new fragrance for Superdrug. Oooh! The glamour!

Peter has also expressed his regret that he hasn't seen his step-son, Harvey, for 2 1/2 months. He tells in his magazine column that he hopes to see Harvey soon as he believes that he has finally met Katie's demands that he have a specialist dedicated nanny employed, who is qualified to deal with Harvey's various conditions.
Katie has previously played tough with Pete over access to his step-son. She refused to allow Harvey to appear in Pete's reality TV show, saying she wanted to keep her son away from the cameras (and then relentlessly parading him in front of the camera on What Katie did Next).

If there are any Pete fans out there, they will be thrilled to know that as well as busily working on fragrances and his weekly column, Pete has a new chat show coming soon...

SATC Premieres in New York

The long-awaited Sex and the City 2 premiere took place last night at Radio City Music Hall, New York. Although much of the new film is apparently set in Abu Dhabi (albeit filmed in Morocco), for the premiere the cast returned to SATC's spiritual home. After all, there had been a huge outcry when the last movie premiered in London.
The leading ladies all scrubbed up well for their big moment - SJP looked stunning in fluoro Valentino. However, for some reason, SJP and Kristin Davis decided to get changed for the after-show party. Kristin changed from a fetching bright pink number to a sequinned cocktail dress. Inexplicably, SJP (if it weren't for the fab Valentino dress, Celebritree would think she had lost her fashion mojo) seemed to think the after-show was fancy dress. Why else would she be in that hideous witchy garb?
Celebritree excitedly awaits the movie...

Beckhams at the Skate Park

Victoria and David took Brooklyn to a skate park yesterday. They seemed to stay in the car whilst Brooklyn did his stuff (don't get all American on us Brooklyn - England may need the Beckham ball skills in years to come) and the nanny took David's dog, Coco, for a walk.
As they sat in the car, Victoria munched on a huge sarnie. This week we've discovered that not only does VB go to supermarkets, but she actually eats food too!
Anyway, in case any of you were thinking the Beckhams really are just a normal bunch, look closer at Coco's paws... Coco is wearing fake pink nails! Apparently this is not the Beckham boys showing their camp side and going crazy with mummy's nail polish, but rather a special doggy manicure that helps protect furniture from their sharp claws...

Ronan moves on and out


Ronan Keating apparently moved out of the family home yesterday, amidst rumours that he had a friendship with a dancer that became too close for comfort. Celebritree is confused: seems even the nice guys are going astray - first Mark Owen, now Ronan Keating...

Katie Price launches baby range


Katie Price yesterday unveiled her latest money-making machine -a KP baby range. As her kids are too big for the range, Katie had to employ other models. Celebritree is not sure this was a resounding success judging by the look on this baby model's face...

Katie's mate gets a break

Seems that hanging onto Katie's coattails (although, let's face it, Katie's rarely seen in a coat) seems to have finally paid off for her make-up artist/GBF, Gary Cockerill. Apparently he's been given his own show on Sky, in which he'll tour the country attending over-the-top teenage proms. Well, they'll certainly be over the top if they let Gary loose with all his make-up and sequins! Does Sky really want to create a whole nation of teenage Jordans?

Carry on in Cannes

Cheryl Cole's £250,000 performance in Cannes went down a storm on Tuesday night. Will.i.am, was doing a DJ set at the same party and the two celebrated with a kiss and a dance after their respective performances. Apparently the pair will be reunited at a party on a private yacht on Friday night and Cheryl will again be supporting the Black Eyed Peas in Barcelona in July. Rumour has it that Will.i.am has arranged for he and his 'close friend' Cheryl to share a dressing room.

Whilst clearly this new friendship is showing lots of promise, Celebritree thinks Cheryl might need to nurture some older friendships. It seems Sarah Harding, also in Cannes, didn't attend her bandmate's performance, preferring to hang out at Grace Jones's 62nd birthday party. Celebritree was somewhat surprised to learn that Sarah and Grace were clearly such big buddies...

TopShop new store

TopShop opened a spanking new store in Knightsbridge yesterday and retail impresario, Philip Green, pulled together a very impressive guest list, including US Vogue editor, Anna Wintour. It seemed to Celebritree that most of the stars had been rummaging at the back of their cupboards to find some old thing to wear, as though the names were impressive, the outfits, on the whole, were anything but. Anna Wintour must have dispaired to return home to the UK and find such a bunch of ragbags around her...
Top Shop designer, Kate Moss, was in a playsuit. Nobody seems to say whether it's from her new collection or not. But if Kate Moss looks rubbish in it, it's pretty safe to say, nobody else should even bother. Still judging from the photos of the end of the night, Kate doesn't look like it stopped her enjoying herself. Nor does she seem bothered by Courtney Love's latest (attention-seeking?) claims that the she had an affair with Kate in 90s. Yasmin Le Bon was wearing some shiny-looking leather piece, whilst Nicola Roberts' dress appeared to be unravelling. Daisy Lowe seemed to have come as a giant wearing huge heels and yet her dress still had a 4 foot train. Perhaps she should have passed some of the spare fabric to her mate, Jaime Winstone, who seemed to look slightly uncomfortable in a tiny bit of cream lace. Thank goodness for Kelly Brook, who managed to up the glamour contingent somewhat.

Strictly Rumours?

The BBC have apparently decided to up the ante in their recruiting of celebs for this year's Strictly Come Dancing. Bruce still hasn't signed on the dotted line, apparently. However, rumour has it that Gary Lineker and his new wife, Danielle Bux (who is anxious to raise her profile as she'd like a TV presenting career - wouldn't we all, love?) are about to sign up for the show.
According to The Sun, Jonathan Ross's resignation from the Beeb has come as a blessing to Strictly fans - it gives the show a bigger budget and they have high hopes of recruiting some big name stars (not that WAG Danielle quite falls into that category).
Here are the others supposedly on the 'wanted' list:
Victoria Beckham - please do it Victoria! Can't see it though - she'd be more likely to do the US version...
Amy Winehouse - really?!
Chelsea Clinton - she'll be a newly-wed so seems unlikely.
Monica Lewinsky - what is she doing now?!
Kimberley Walsh - quite possible, especially with Nadine dragging her heels over Girls Aloud's reunion. (Where IS your solo album, Nadine?)
Patsy Kensit - unemployed, separated, has time on her hands.
Lembit Opik - unemployed, like Gary, probably has a partner "who wants to raise her profile" - highly likely!

Yvonne and Ronan Keating's marriage over

Bit of sad news here. It seems that Ronan Keating and his wife, Yvonne, who are one of those couples who have often been lauded as having 'one of the strongest marriages in showbiz' have split. They have been married for 12 years and have 3 children together. The split seems to have come as a surprise to everyone who knows them, although a few days ago Ronan signed up to be a judge on next year's Australian X Factor, which will take him away from his family for a few months.
Perhaps he can keep Brian McFadden company over there - last time Ronan was in Oz he and Bri went out on the lash together ending up in a tussle with Rihanna's security team...

Vanessa Perroncel ends her silence

Notorious serial WAG, Vanessa Perroncel, has finally broken her silence, following the allegations of her affair with John Terry. Vanessa has chosen to speak out in this week's copy of Grazia. Amazingly, her sensational revelation is... that she and John Terry did NOT have an affair! Apparently they were great friends for years before she got together with Wayne and nothing untoward ever happened. In their wisdom, she and JT thought it best to take out an injunction to stop the newspapers reporting, rather than just letting them go ahead and then suing them. But Vanessa is now pursuing a legal case for defamation of character and breach of privacy. She was accompanied to the interview by a member of Max Clifford's team who was there "to advise her on her position" regarding JT - shouldn't Vanessa be fully aware of any positions she may or may not have been in with the England player?!
Celebritree is left wondering - if this was the affair that never was, then why:
has JT been stripped of his England captaincy?
did Toni Terry disappear off to Dubai for a big holiday?
has Wayne Bridge refused to speak to JT and resigned from England duty?
did neither Vanessa nor John appear to deny it publicly when the news came out?
Hmmm. Wonder why she's decided to speak out now. Is Wayne's child support not substantial enough to keep her in the manner to which she became accustomed?

Baby news

It seems like most of the recent baby news has been about people trying to get pregnant (Katie, Victoria) or people looking like they might be pregnant (Gwen Stefani, Lily Allen). So it's good to announce news on two couples who actually ARE pregnant! Rachel Stevens is expecting her first baby with husband, Alex Bourne. The couple married in August 2009 and their baby is due later this year.
Across the Atlantic, Kelly Preston and John Travolta have also announced that they are expecting a third child. This good news must be most welcome after the tragic death of their eldest child, Jett, last year. The family have also had to deal with the recent sad deaths of their two dogs in an accident at an airfield. Thank goodness they have something to celebrate at last!

Tuesday 18 May 2010

Peter Andre's new fragrance

Celebritree really doesn't get the celebrity fragrance phenomenon. OK, maybe there are some kids who might fancy smelling like the Beckhams, but the range of celebs with their own fragrances has reached ridiculous proportions. I mean does anyone really want to smell like Katie Price (eau de fake tan and botox presumably) or Chanelle Hayes (whose fragrance must surely just reek of desperation)? Soon the shelves will be so full of Britney, J-Lo and SJP's fragrances that there won't be any room for Chanel and Dior there.
The latest fragrance to join this fiasco, is Conditional, by Peter Andre. Pete tells us in his latest column for New magazine, "I love the whole process I go through to design a fragrance, I find it so interesting. There is a lot of work that goes into making a product like this and to find the right scent that is personal to me. I hope the men like it as much as I do." Celebritree will of course be popping down to Boots to stock up for all the men she knows...

Shock! SJP in fashion disaster


It seems SJP is finding new motherhood much harder second time around - facing a hefty promotional schedule, whilst caring for an energetic 8 year old boy and twin baby girls seems to be taking it out of Celebritree favourite, SJP.
She was spotted out and about in New York, tired eyes hidden behind dark specs, in an extremely dodgy brown boob tube.
Celebritree would not expect SJP to be taking Britney as her latest fashion icon, but that top with no bra is definitely a mistake we hope she won't repeat...

Monday 17 May 2010

Jack Tweed - back out on the town

Goodness - barely had Jack Tweed turned over a new leaf, then he's being snapped crawling out of a nightclub with a scantily clad blonde in tow. Will the man never learn?
Celebritree is not sure that Chanelle will be overjoye with these pics - though the two separated pretty quickly when they realised the paps were on their case.
Chanelle has been speaking out about what a gentleman Tweed is and how fond she is of him. Being demure, she has also told us all that she's not yet done the deed with Tweed as she thinks it would be vulgar to do so while she's pregnant with another man's child.
So looks like Jack might be looking elsewhere for his kicks...

Lily Allen - is she or isn't she?

Lily Allen surprised everyone earlier this year when she announced that she was retiring to the country at the tender age of 24. Now she has set tongues wagging again by saying that she is planning to take 5 years off to have a child and spend time being a mum. Recent photos of her with a bit of a tummy (or wearing an unflattering outfit) suggest that she is well on the way to achieving this ambition. However, Lily has denied this - and been pictured puffing away on a fag. So, watch this space...

Mel B bumps into Ex

Mel B surpised everyone by attending the premiere of the latest Shrek movie with Stephen Belanfonte, his daughter and Mel's own two girls. Why the surprise? Well this was the first time that Mel had been seen in the vicinity of her ex, Eddie Murphy, who stars in the Shrek franchise. Seems that Eddie's feeling bad about neglecting Angel and his girlfriend was trying to encourage the pair to let bygones be bygones. The question is: will Eddie forgive Mel for inflicting that hairstyle on their daughter?

Beckhams go shopping

David seemed to be leading the charge as the Beckhams piled their trolley high with healthy food at the Whole Foods Market in LA. David's clearly dedicated to his new culinary hobby, as he peruses the herbs and spices, planning his next concoction. Good to see Victoria has dressed down to mooch around the supermarket...
