VB triumphs again at NY Fashion Week

Victoria Beckham showed her autumn/winter 2011 collection during New York fashion week today. Her chosen venue was the apartment where Carrie and Big set up home in the first SATC movie. Tired, but excited Victoria said that she had designed this collection before she discovered that she was pregnant, although the clothes definitely showed a softer, more forgiving silhouette (though her trademark "spiritual" yellow still put in an appearance). Celebritree is a big fan, although can't see the swimming caps taking off... It seems Victoria's fan base is growing, as she has sent a selection of dresses to Kate Middleton, who is keen to try her clothes (hmm, no doubt Mel B is fizzing, after VB refused to send her anything for her to wear in her reality show - guess she's just not the demographic that Victoria is looking for!)
Victoria also spoke out about her pregnancy, denying that she and David have had any tests to check the baby's agenda and that they and their boys are all excited about the new addition and probably won't find out the sex, as they really don't mind (allegedly). Now that her show is out of the way, Victoria can relax and enjoy Valentine's Day in the arms of her hubby. They haven't been able to spend February 14th together for a few years, with Victoria's fashion and David's football commitments, but apparently they plan to spend it together in New York this year.

Cheryl keeping it real

Cheryl Cole has recently moved into her new home and has proven just what a down to earth girl she is by phoning up Enfield council to order her own wheelie bin. Good to know she's found time to get these tedious chores out of the way, whilst still trying to work out what is happening in the US - the latest rumours are that she might be taking on Sinitta's role, as Simon's mentor/companion. If that's true, no doubt Sinitta will be furiously tweeting sometime soon.
If she does get a US X Factor role, Cheryl also stands to get a £1million contract with Pepsi, apparently.
However, her plans for Valentine's Day are not clear as she has told Derek Hough to back off amid rumours that she is seriously considering taking Ashley back, despite warnings from Simon Cowell that she would lose all credibility if she does.

Kezza moves house - again

Kerry Katona took time out from her skating training this weekend to visit a sofa showroom in South London to acquire a new 3 piece suite for her new home in Oxted, Surrey. Keeping it low key as ever, Kerry was being trailed by cameras for her reality show, as she excitedly kitted out her new £5,500 per month rented 6 bedroom home, complete with indoor swimming pool. Neighbours include Mohammed Fayed and Jamie and Louise Redknapp.
Life is clearly tough when you're bankrupt. Remember just a few weeks ago that Kezza's mum was moved out of her home as Kerry needed to sell her mum's house as an asset to pay off her debts. And now she's in DFS spending again...
Apparently she and her skating partner, Dan, like to sit on the sofa after a hard day at the rink, eating Chinese. Careful with those chopsticks Dan and Kezza - those sofas might need to go back - especially if you've got them on HP!

Angelina denies rumours

Angelina Jolie has been spending a lot of time in Haiti recently, sparking rumours that Brangelina are about to add to their brood with another adoption. However, Angelina has now spoken out to deny rumours that she and Brad are about to adopt a little girl called Leah, and she is just trying to help kids in general in Haiti. Celebritree really thinks it's high time they acquired another kid - the tattoo artists of California must be keen for an addition to the Jolie-Pitt clan too - Ange has the birth dates and geographical coordinates of all her kids tattooed on her arm.

Another busy week for Katie Price

It's been another busy week for Katie Price as she has thrown herself back into single life with a night out on the town with one of the cameramen from her latest documentary. She ensured maximum pap attention by wearing a very short skirt with these tasteful leopard print thigh-high boots. The good news for anyone who fancies emanating Katie's look is that, not content with her kids' clothing and equestrian ranges, she has now bought a "high-end" fashion line, called Day 22. The plan is to release new items on the 22nd of each month. Hmm, can't wait.
However, Katie has apparently spent Valentine's weekend with her ex-husband at a spa hotel, where she checked into a suite. However, she's claiming that romance is far from her mind and that they are thrashing out the details of their divorce, with Alex allegedly holding out for a big pay off.
In case Katie manages to find any spare time in between taking her kids to the sauna, designing clothes, writing books, negotiating her divorce and enjoying nights on the town, she has also entered this year's London Marathon. She will be racing her other ex-husband's new squeeze, as Elen Rivas is also taking on the challenge.

Katy and Russell heading the same way as Katie and Alex?

Rumours are rife at the moment that Katy Perry and Russell Brand have already hit a troubled patch, just three months into their marriage. Fuel has been added to the fire this weekend after Katy appeared alone at some pre-Grammy's bash in LA, whilst Russ was in NYC, filming an appearance on a TV show. The rumour is that the trouble all started when Russell posted a picture of Katy looking a little rough and without her usual warpaint. Katy went mad and responded by asking friends for recommendations of marriage counsellors. The two have been spending less time together, and although Katy has factored in husband time during her world tour, the two are apparently finding it hard to manage their careers and their marriage.
Hmm, if this goes Pete Tong, Katy could be giving another Katie a run for her money in the wedding $ spent per day of marriage competition...

Spot the baby bump

Victoria Beckham flew out of Heathrow today and the world got the first full length view of Victoria since she and David announced their pregnancy. Let's face it, if you didn't know she was pregnant, you this shot wouldn't exactly be a giveaway, but underneath that billowing top, there are the beginnings of a baby bump.
Much has been made of what kind of look Victoria would work for this pregnancy, but judging by this photo, it's not comfort she is looking for. Victoria went with leather leggings - no doubt very comfy when you're expecting - and still not sacrificing her heels, she sported a pair of studded 4 inch stilettos!

Condolences to Amanda Holden

It's been a sad weekend for Amanda Holden and her family, as she went into hospital in Middlesex after not feeling her baby move for a day or so. It was revealed in the press today that the baby boy was stillborn, seven months into her pregnancy. Amanda had kept her pregnancy quiet until last month, when she revealed that she had been hiding a bump for some time, with strategically placed handbags and winter knits. Of course, all the usual celeb suspects have been tweeting their condolences to Amanda and her husband. Poor Amanda had a busy few months scheduled as she is in the middle of Britain's Got Talent auditions and was scheduled to start in Shrek- the musical on London's West End in May.

Cheryl earns some pocket money

Cheryl has popped over to Italy this weekend to earn herself a nice little bit of pin money, courtesy of Audi. She performed at their staff party, pocketing £250,000 for the hour long in Venice.
Clearly Elton John wouldn't have enjoyed that particular party, as his sharp tongue has finally re-emerged after several weeks of cuddly baby talk. Elton has been laying into his fellow pop stars, including airing his opinion that Cheryl's music is "crap". She got off lightly compared to Kim Kardashian, who Elton described as a "stupid old tart".
Anyway, back to Cheryl: it seems Derek has been taking his girlfriend's musci to heart, as he is preparing to "fight for this love" as rumours continue that Ashley and Cheryl are continuing to share cosy phone conversations...

Suri shops again

It seems Suri can't get enough of the shops in Vancouver, as she and mum, Katie, ventured out again, whilst Tom is busy filming MIssion Impossible 171 or something.
This time, rather than footwear, Suri was paying a visit to the beauty counter in Holt Renfrew, trying out various lipsticks on the back of her hand, as she attempted to find the perfect shade. Apparently mum treated her to some nail polish and lipstick before the pair headed off for another trip to Starbucks. (Clearly Suri needs her caffeine kicks as part of her shopping routine!) However, Suri did prove at Starbucks that, despite all the evidence to the contrary, she is just a kid, after all, as she threw a major tantrum, until Katie promised her a cookie if she put a sock in it! Remarkably, a little blackmail worked wonders... How does that fit with the Scientology philosophy, Katie?

Nadine's ambitions take another knock

Nadine Coyle and her fiance, Jason Bell, have had a knock back in Nadine's ambition to be the next Angelina Jolie. It seems Nadine was keen to adopt a Thai orphan but her application has been turned down. The knock has hit Nadine hard, after the rather feeble reaction to her solo career ambitions last year.
However, Nadine has picked herself up and has apparently found an alternative as she is taking part in a "big sister" scheme, where she gets to mentor an underprivileged child. No doubt Cheryl will be looking to make her own mothering achievements sometime soon then - subject to Ma Tweedy's approval, of course.

Katie plans to take on the US

As Katie despairs of ever getting Alex Reid out of her house (err, have you tried pest control Katie?) she is planning her next trip to Los Angeles at the end of the month. No doubt this will involve various tinkering with her teeth, botox and fake tans, as she plans to head to the Oscars (or at least, Elton John's infamous post-Oscar party). Rumour has it that she could also be up for a job on the US X Factor, although this seems rather unlikely. Just last week the rumours were that she was about to take Cheryl's spot on the UK version of the show - surely she can't be out to conquer the US like Chezza?!
In fact, Katie seems to be preparing to take on the world as she also plans to launch her equestrian range in China and Japan...
In more shocking news, apparently Alex is consulting "experts" to help him cash in on his split from Katie and sell his story. Is Max Clifford being kept busy then?
Last night Katie decided to drown her sorrows as she headed out to a nightclub in Essex with her sister and a group of friends, eventually emerging from the club looking rather the worst for wear, with her friends covering her in a red blanket. Not like Katie to keep a low profile!

Brad leaves Angelina with the Kids

Brad Pitt has left Ange and the kids in Los Angeles, as he is taking time out in Provence to work on their huge house, Chateau Marmont.
Let's hope that Brad doesn't do it up too nicely or have any expensive antiques lying around - from what Celebritree has heard about the kids' behaviour chez George Clooney, they could wreck the joint on their first visit!
IN Touch magazine would have us believe that Brad has gone to get a break from his wife's meltdown after she allegedly went crazy when she found a copy of Allure magazine in his office with his ex, Jennifer Aniston, on the cover. However, IN Touch manages to find a new Brangelina break up story every week, so perhaps we shouldn't take this source too seriously!

Heir Apparent to the Hermes Handbag Collection?

It seems Victoria Beckham's wish for some female solidarity in her family may be due to come true. Apparently Victoria had a 4D 16 week scan at a Hertfordshire hospital this week (which would make baby Beckham due mid to late July) and the scan revealed that the Beckhams are expecting their much longed for daughter. However, previously the Beckhams have claimed that they had no intention of finding out the sex of the baby before the birth, so this story could be a load of codswallop.
If Victoria does get her daughter, she will, of course, inherit one of the world's greatest collections of Birkin handbags! Victoria has spoken of how she would love to dress a little girl up and paint her nails. Just don't get any ideas about straightening her hair, Victoria - Peter Andre has allegedly found straightener burns on poor Princess's sensitive little scalp, as Katie tries to tame those crazy curls!
Still Lourdes Leon (Madge's daughter) and Suri Cruise could soon have some real competition - after they were this week voted the most stylish celeb kids.
It is said that it is good for babies to play them music whilst they are still in the womb. However, the Beckhams have their own interpretation of this as they have taken to rapping to their unborn child. Hmm, maybe Victoria has recognised this might be a better option than her singing...

Chezza contemplating a return to Ash?

Well, a week is a long time in politics, and Cheryl Cole's life, it would seem. As Cheryl confirms she's staying Cole by renewing her passport in her married name, rather than reverting to her maiden name of Tweedy (even fewer people in the US have heard of Cheryl Tweedy than have any idea of Cheryl Cole's identity), it seems that things may be cooling off between her and Derek, as he has shown a distinct disdain for her love of tattoos (and there's no hiding from them, especially after the latest monstrosity, that appears to stretch from her lower back to her upper thighs). Still, one man who apparently isn't put off by Cheryl's love of body ink, is ex-hubby, Ashley. Following his break up with Playboy bunny, Kayla, he and Cheryl have met up at their marital home to see if they still have any common ground. Allegedly Ash is desperate to persuade his ex-wife to stay in the UK and, surprisingly, Ma Tweedy seems to be siding with Ash - clearly she hasn't taken to the condo Dezza plans for her in LA! It seems Cheryl still holds a bit of a torch for Ash and may be persuaded to abandon her burning ambition to take on the States, but her friends are all keen for her to make the clean break. Phew! Could Cheryl be about to blow it all?
Still, in case Cheryl is worrying that she is no longer the nation's sweetheart, no doubt she will be comforted by the results to two surveys (errr, WHO arranges these surveys? And why? And has anyone ever been asked any of these random questions by someone carrying out one of these surveys?!): apparently Cheryl is the celebrity that most people would like to name their dog after and she beats Britney Spears to be the celebrity that people would most like to employ as a babysitter... (Do these people not like their children? Celebritree knows that they've since cleaned up their act, but Brit practically had to be sectioned and lost custody of her own kids, whilst Cheryl appeared in court on assault charges. Surely there are more suitable celeb babysitters? Err, Katie Price, Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham...?!)
