Victoria Celebrates Mom’s Birthday

Posted by SmoKe2k | Celebrity news | Monday 31 March 2008 4:34 pm

The Spice Girl - who arrived with her bodyguard and driver wearing a white embodied dress and fake fur wrap - hired a private room at London’s exclusive Claridge’s hotel for the daytime bash, where guests enjoyed food prepared by chef Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant and pink champagne.

One source said: “Victoria arrived just after midday to make sure everything was perfect.”

“The group got through a least five bottles of Laurent Perrier pink champagne, which costs $170 a bottle. Money was obviously no object.”

“Victoria really wanted to spoil her mother and her friends.”

Victoria’s sister Louise, her father Tony and her soccer star husband David’s mother Sandra all helped Jackie celebrate reaching the landmark age.

A steady stream of guests arrived throughout the day all bearing gifts, and at about 3pm the cake was cut and handed out.

The source added to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Victoria could really relax and enjoy herself because she knew all the guests.”

“She really let her hair down and Jackie looked like she was having a great time as well.”

However, David could not make the party because he was 4,000 miles away playing for his soccer team Los Angeles Galaxy in the US.

Dornan Ashamed of Being a Model

Posted by SmoKe2k | Celebrity news | Monday 31 March 2008 4:31 pm

The 25-year-old hunk - the ex-boyfriend of Keira Knightley - used to be so ashamed of his catwalk career he invented another job.

Jamie, who has posed for Calvin Klein, Christian Dior and Emporio Armani, said: “I definitely don’t love modeling.”

“I never did. I mean, I have respect for it - that’s fine, but I’ve never gone, ‘Oh yes, I’m a model.’ I think it sounds ridiculous, especially as a man, to say that. I often would lie about it.”

Jamie - who appeared in “Marie Antoinette” - is concentrating on his budding acting career at the moment, as well as folk singing.

He said: “At the minute, I’m not really modeling that much and I’m just focusing on acting.”

“It is nice to finally focus on one thing and not try to juggle a load of c**p.”

Weirdo Madonna Bullied at School

Posted by SmoKe2k | Celebrity news | Monday 31 March 2008 4:31 pm

The “4 Minutes” singer was shunned by her classmates because she chose to concentrate on her music rather than experiment with drugs like her peers.

She said: “In high school I wasn’t a hippie or a stoner, so I ended up being the weirdo. I was interested in classical ballet and music, so the kids were quite mean if you were different.”

“I was one of those people that people were mean to. When that happened, instead of being a doormat, I decided to emphasize my differences.”

“But if your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you’re always going to be disappointed.”

Madonna - who has three children with husband Guy Ritchie - also revealed she initially found it difficult to work with Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Williams on her upcoming album “Hard Candy.”

She added to Vanity Fair magazine: “It did take time to get comfortable. It’s not like we hit it off right away. Writing is very intimate. You have to be vulnerable and it’s hard to do that with strangers.”

Posted by SmoKe2k | Celebrity news | Sunday 30 March 2008 8:42 pm

The 30-year-old actress - who plays a porn star in the new film - struggled to stay awake for the raunchy sequence because she had just eaten a huge Thanksgiving turkey dinner.

She said: “I filmed a love scene on Thanksgiving and I had eaten all this turkey and mashed potatoes.”

“I was like, ‘I seriously have to film a sex scene right now?’ I was so tired from all the tryptophan - an amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy - that I just wanted to sleep!”

Gellar also claims she knew she had made it as an actress when she saw a porn spin-off of her hit US TV show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

She added to Britain’s Maxim magazine: “I think there was a ‘Muffy the Vampire Layer.’ ”

“We had a cast viewing in one of the trailers. You know you’ ve made it when they make a porn version of you!”

Newton: Being a Mom Gains My Self-Esteem

Posted by SmoKe2k | Celebrity news | Sunday 30 March 2008 8:40 pm

The “Run Fat Boy Run” actress - who has two children, seven-year-old Ripley and three-year-old Nico, with husband Oliver Parker - suffered from the eating disorder bulimia nervosa until she experienced an “epiphany” after having Ripley in 2000.

She is quoted as saying: “I spent my life feeling that what’s impressive is being good, being smart - I didn’t believe that just being me was interesting to anyone.

“My epiphany really didn’t come until I had a child. So many people thought I was a really cold person, but I was just painfully shy.”

“But having a kid made me explore how I was going to guide another beautiful being in this world. I was released - it doesn’t happen for everyone, but it happened for me.”

Thandie also revealed she took the role in comedy “Run Fat Boy Run” because she wanted a break from the serious characters she portrayed in “Crash” and “The Pursuit of Happyness.”

She added: “I wasn’t as challenged as I normally am with movie roles.”

“I found myself getting very twitchy, because I just wanted to research and delve deeper, but there was nowhere to go, so I had to sit back and watch the comedy.”

“It was a real fat vacation!”
