Rihanna's new 'Gun' tattoo causes a stir

This week Rihanna decided to add two new tattoo's to her vast body art collection which currently include stars, a skull and crossbones, Arabic writing and an electric guitar. This time Rihanna opted for two Guns to be etched onto the top of her ribcage. As you can imagine, its causing a fair bit of controversy.

The tattoo's were done in a little independent Tattoo studio in LA called BangBang. Concerning Rihanna's new body ink, BangBang had the following to say on his website:

"I really wanted to put it here [on her arms]... She loved ‘em. But, Cover Girl wouldn’t have liked it much... and they pay the bills!"






























The mis-use of Guns and Gun Crime is well documented as a large scale and almost uncontrollable problem in many countries across the globe. Many youngsters turn to violence as the only way to solve even minor problems and in the hope of building their street reputation, credibility or profile. Parents are now criticising the move branding the tat irresponsible. Rihanna is a high profile teen idol, they want to know why she would openly advocate the use of Guns by having such a tattoo done. One would expect it from a singer like Eminem, but not from Rihanna, a clean-cut singer whose fan base comprises typically of young girls and boys.


Rihanna's loyal tattoo artist BangBang has now spoken in her defence, taking all of the blame for the controversial inkings saying that it's a symbol of protection - not of violence.

“I’m a big advocate of guns. So I said, ‘How about a gun?’ “I printed out a picture of a gun that I thought would look good, and she loved it. “It’s powerful. It’s protection. At least that’s my interpretation of it.”

- Rihanna's tattoo artist at BangBang



Even so, does this mean guns should be deemed as one's source of protection, a solution to solve conflict? I think it's a tad thoughtless on Rihanna's part. Perhaps she should have considered the reason 'Cover Girl' may have disapproved. Have your say below in the comments section.

Judging from the amount she has at age 21, it seems the starlet might be developing a fetish for body art, move over Angelina Jolie! Check out Rihanna's other tattoo's here:

Lastly, some food for thought...

Have you ever wondered exactly what you put on your skin every day?

If you've ever researched the ingredients that go into your skincare products you may be surprised and even quite alarmed! Even very high end products don't necessarily contain the best ingredients and 99% of them are chemically based with a few botanical ingredients thrown for good measure, certainly not completely natural, ie: Botanically Based. Botanical ingredients are costly, which is why 99% of the Cosmetic Brands you will find in Department stores use cheaper substances like mineral oil as a base for their products.

Most skincare products and make up contain some kind of animal by-products too, which means that the fat from dead animals is put directly on your skin. Companies who don't use animal by products will publicize the fact that they don't use animal-by-products, so if your products don't make this claim - chances are that you're putting some kind of animal on your skin when you wash, moisturise and apply make-up.

Jennifer split from Mayer over Twitter row!




When the news of Jennifer and John Mayers split broke, rumours had it that John had been the one to end things. Friends of Jennifer have spoken out to Star Magazine telling them that it was actually Jennifer who ended the relationship with one of the main reasons being the latest craze to sweep the internet, mini-blogging site 'Twitter' which carries the tagline "what are you doing?".

Apparently John Mayer often didn't respond to Jen's calls and emails citing the fact that he was busy, yet when Jennifer checked his Twitter page, he'd been Twittering non-stop.

Here are the direct quotes from the source who claims to be Jennifer's friend:


"John suddenly stopped calling her or returning her emails and when she would finally catch up with him, he'd say: 'I've been so busy with work. I'm sorry I haven't had time to call you back."

"Jen was fuming. There he was, telling her he didn't have time for her and yet his page was filled with Twitter updates. Every few hours, sometimes minutes, he'd update with some stupid line. And in her mind, she was like 'He has time for all this Twittering, but he can't send me a text, an email, make a call?'."

"He didn't even deny it. He knew he was avoiding her. So when she called him on it and ended things, he just said OK, and that he was sorry it didn't work out. He took the break-up like a man."






I guess Twitter can be pretty addictive which is precisely why the sites popularity has soured astronomically over the past year. Check out this article on mashable.com, the social media guide, which tells us that Twitter is now growing at a staggering 1,382%.


As to whether the story is true or not... I say possibly? Only John and Jennifer know all of the facts but they're only human and it sounds like the kind of thing a guy would do if he was getting cold feet or wanted to back off from the intensity of a relationship. It also sounds like the kind of thing a girl would do when they feel less important than a website, gadget or piece of technological equipment!

Even so, shortly after Aniston broke it off, John Mayer's Twitter update read: 'This heart didn't come with instructions.'





On the subject of celebs Twittering... This weekend, Saturday morning, Punk'd prankster Ashton Kutcher posted this photo (below) of wife Demi Moore’s barely clad butt on his Twitter page. The couple were holidaying in Turks and Caicos for Demi's ex Bruce Willis’ wedding to lingerie model girlfriend Emma Heming.
The caption accompanying the shot read: “Shh, don’t tell wifey.”

Jade Goody dies on Mothers Day

27 Year old Reality TV Star Jade Goody has quietly passed away in her sleep in the early hours of the morning, around 3:55am, following a brave and public struggle against Cervical Cancer. Ten days ago Jade left hospital so that she could die more peacefully in her own home, a beautiful country house in Essex, South East England.



For the past 48 hours Jade has been in a Coma like sleeping state and though family and friends have known that her passing was inevitable, the speed at which the Cancer has spread through Jades body has left family, friends and many members of the public shocked and devastated.


Jade was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer last summer and found out just two months ago that the cancer had spread to a point where doctors could do no more to save her life.

Since the heartbreaking news emerged, in the hope of creating a comfortable financial future for her children, Jade has done many paid interviews with the press and sold OK! Magazine the rights to her wedding 5 weeks ago to long term boyfriend Jack Tweed. The Magazine paid £750 000 for the rights to photograph the touching ceremony and and interview the family.

Over the past few months, Jade's amazing story of her incredibly brave fight against cancer has touched many peoples lives and the severity of her condition has prompted thousands of women to have smear tests done themselves. There have been countless women writing into various media sources telling a similar story, that that Jade has in effect saved their lives as doctors have caught their cancer early enough to successfully treat. The importance of regular smear tests has been highlighted to all who have heard of Jade's plight.








Jade shares custody of her two small children Bobby, 4 and Freddie, 5 with ex-boyfriend TV presenter Jeff Brazier with whom the boys are expected to move in with permanently. Jade's mum, the boys Grandma Jackiey Budden is also very involved in the children's up-bringing and is expected to help with a large proportion of the boys care.

Jade's publicist Max Clifford said: “I think she’s going to be remembered as a young girl who has, and who will, save an awful lot of lives. She was a very, very brave girl. And she faced her death in the way she faced her whole life - full on, with a lot of courage.”


Jade, who has been very brave and realistic about her condition has already planned her own funeral, to be held this week. In keeping her typically positive and cheerful demeanour, she has told her family that she wants it to be a celebration of her life. She has requested a traditional burial and a service held at a local church close to her home.
A spokesman for the family has said: “The funeral will be a celebration of Jade’s life, a reflection of how she’s lived in the last seven years—full on. She wants to say farewell to anyone who wants to be there. It will reflect the happiest seven years of her life. There will be tears, but a lot of love and laughter as well.”


Jade first became famous in 2002 when she appeared on the British Big Brother as a loud, brash and mouthy 21 year old who often came out with silly yet somewhat humorous comments. Following her exit from the house Jade lived her life in the public eye, often doing interviews with various magazines about her life in general such as weight, relationships, having children and her business ventures.
In 2007 Jade and boyfriend Jack Tweed appeared on Celebrity Big Brother on which she was accused of making racist remarks toward fellow contestant, Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty (Pictured below with Jade). The media and public turned against Jade for a period of time, yet it seems Jade was beginning to get past this episode when the terrible news of her Cancer struck. Jade received the news of the cancer live on Television whilst filming an Indian version of the show in India.







Since finding out about her illness and up until just a few weeks ago, Jade's every move has been followed by cameras. Many people had hoped and believed that Jade would survive and beat the Cancer but it became so aggressive and spread to her Liver, Bowels and Groin. Eventually it was accepted that there was no hope and the people close to her did everything they could to make the last few weeks of her life as good as they could possibly be.


May Bobby and Freddie, Jade's children, find comfort from their family who love them dearly. We pay our respects to Jade and her family, may they be comforted in the knowledge that she is finally at rest and no longer suffering.

Audrina Partridge lands spinoff with The Apprentice's Mark Burnett!

Audrina Partridge has this week announced that she will be departing from 'The Hills', the show which first made her famous as she's landed her OWN reality spinoff! Audrina, pictured yesterday filming scenes for the 5th series of 'The Hills' follows in the footsteps of fellow co-star Whitney Port. Whitney started filming her own spinoff 'The City' last year which captures her personal and professional life in her career move to New York. The highly anticipated series already looks to be a winner!




The pretty 23 year old has signed a deal with British television producer Mark Burnett (Left). Burnett, who has produced a string of successful reality tv shows such as Survivor and both the US and UK Apprentice has commented on the news saying: "We are truly pleased to have the chance to work with Audrina. She has already proved her star quality, and we can't wait to show her fans worldwide the next stage of her life and career." The proposed new series will follow Patridge in her personal and professional life and will be pitched to networks in the U.S. beginning next week.

About Mark, Audrina has told People magazine: “I wanted to collaborate with the best possible team for my first big project after The Hills. Mark Burnett really understands my vision and I am excited about the concepts we’ve developed that will show people a different side of my life.”

Audrina has her own Rock chic style and dress sense, she dates rugged looking guys and outside of the usual Hills gang, Partridge hangs out with a rather unique sub-culture of punk rock people. With this in mind, I'm thinking the series will be completely different to 'The Hills' or 'The City'.

Unlike many of the other Hills cast who auditioned to take part in the US show, Audrina was originally approached by The Hills film crew to star in the show. I've always had the sneaky suspicion that Audrina conforms to the image of the show which appeals to a mass audience instead of being completely herself. I'm interested to see what the show will have in store for us. It could be another huge reality show hit or a complete miss as I think the current format, style and genre of people is what draws viewers to shows like 'The Hills' and 'The City'. On the other hand, with such a successful producer in charge, I'm sure Mark Burnett will ensure it has what it takes to make the series a hit!

With Lauren Conrad also said to be leaving The Hills, we're not sure who will be left to film or for Spencer Pratt to wind up? This news prompts wide speculation that is the end of the road for the highly successful MTV show whose 5th series premieres on April 6, 2009. An MTV Spokesperson has said: "We cannot confirm a sixth season at this time, however, 'The Hills' will continue as long as there are stories to tell, and as of now we don't see an end in sight."

Natasha Richardson dies, we pay tribute

British actress Natasha Richardson, 45, has tragically passed away last night, just two days after she fell whilst skiing at the Mont Tremblant resort North of Montreal. Family, friends and fans have been praying for Natasha since the shocking news of her condition broke two days ago.


Natasha was taking a private skiing lesson on a beginners slope where she hit her head in a fall which wasn't determined to be severe at the time. Unfortunately, it was not believed that she was wearing a helmet. Immediately after the fall, Natasha was seen over by medics and discharged as being alright as she displayed no immediate sign of internal injuries.

It was only an hour later that Natasha started to complain of a severe headache which prompted concern and led to her seeking further medical attention. The star was taken first to a local hospital in Ste. Agathe, Quebec, and then was transferred to the Hopital du Sacre-Coeur de Montreal. On Tuesday, Natasha was transported to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, where her family gathered in hope that she would recover.


Full details concerning Natasha's passing have not been officially released, but it is thought that she suffered traumatic brain injuries for two days following the accident and that her life support was reluctantly turned off by medical professionals on Wednesday. Joan Rivers, a close friend revealed: "I was told they kept her alive to bring her back to New York so the boys could say goodbye to her."

Neeson’s publicist Alan Nierob issued a statement last night on behalf of the family saying: “Liam, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone.”

Natasha Richardson is a member of the Redgrave family, known as a dynasty in theatre and acting. She is the daughter of British screen legend Vanessa Regrave and late film producer and director Tony Richardson. Her grandparents are Actors Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson. Vanessa is also the sister of Joely Richardson and niece of Actress Lynn Redgrave and Actor Corn Redgrave and cousin of Jemma Redgrave.

Natasha married Schindlers list and Star Wars Actor Liam Neeson in 1994 after meeting on set during the filming of 'Nell'. The couple have been blessed with two sons Micheál and Daniel.


Natasha has always worked incredibly hard and hence enjoyed a hugely successful acting career. She made her first film debut at the tender age of 4 in a film directed by her father, The Charge of the Light Brigade. Richardson acted on Broadway, various Theatre productions, on a tv mini-series and in Box Office Movie hits such as 'The Parent Trap' and 'Maid in Manhattan' alongside Jennifer Lopez. In 1986 she won the London Drama Critics’ most promising newcomer award for her performance as Nina in The Seagull alongside her mother. She also won a Tony award for best actress in a musical for her performance as Sally Bowles in Sam Mendez's production of Cabaret on Broadway in 1998.

Natasha will be missed by her family, friends and her fans all over the world.


Natasha as a person and talent was appreciated deeply by many people. Some of Natasha's celebrity friends have spoken out to pay beautiful tributes to her, recorded below:


Tv comedienne Joan Rivers spoke of an amazing day spent on a yacht in the Carribean with Natasha, Liam and her two sons.
"It was one of those wonderful days where we just talked, enjoyed the day and drank wine. She was amazing and darling. I have so much respect for someone who goes to Broadway, then film, then back again. Natasha and Liam were totally happy, totally devoted to each other - that's what kills me. They were totally devoted and he doted on what she said. I was told they kept her alive to bring her back to New York so the boys could say goodbye to her"

Sam Mendez
"Natasha combined the best of Redgrave and Richardson: the enormous depth and emotional force of a great actor on the one hand, and the intelligence and objectivity of a great director on the other. She was one of a kind, a magnificent actress. She was also an amazing mother, a loyal friend, and the greatest and most generous host you could ever hope to meet. It defies belief that this gifted, brave, tenacious, wonderful woman is gone."

Film director Michael Winner
"It's a terrible, terrible thing. It's always tragic when people of such buoyancy and life are taken away on what appears to be utterly trivial events. She was a wonderful actress - the whole family is incredible - and she had not yet fulfilled her possibilities. Whenever you met her, it was like a joy. It's a twinkle and a sparkle that has left the world."


Friend, film director Paul Schrader
"Natasha Richardson was an extraordinary actress, not just for her beauty, lineage and talent but for her intelligence and fearlessness. She was brave and smart. I was in awe of her from the time we first met and will miss her dearly."

Michael Parkinson, chat show host
"I met her a couple of times, I know Liam quite well, I've interviewed him two or three times. My thoughts are with him, it's a terrible, awful tragedy. They are a close-knit family, they will be able to share their grief together, that is the only consolation. Liam is one of the nicest guys I've met in the business, and so was she. They were very unshowy people, they did a job, got on with their lives, enjoyed their lives - it's very sad."

Lindsay Lohan, co-star in film The Parent Trap
"She was a wonderful woman and actress and treated me like I was her own. My heart goes out to her family. This is a tragic loss."

A spokeswoman for the US-based charity amfAE
, the foundation for Aids Research (of which Natasha was on the board since her father died of an Aids related illness in 1991)
"Our hearts go out to her family. This is a catastrophic loss for them, and it is a terrible loss for amfAR and the fight against Aids. Natasha generously contributed her time and resources to amfAR for over 15 years. Her passion for the cause and tireless efforts gave hope and inspiration to the scientists and healthcare workers on the front lines of this deadly epidemic, as well as to the millions of people living with HIV/Aids around the world."


Kenneth Cole, designer and close friend
"She was great, always there, she always had a wonderful optimistic can do attitude. Natasha had this wonderful way with everything. There was nothing that didn't seem to make sense or find a rationale. She lived a very lovely life style but everyone adored her. She felt she could make a difference and she did. She adored her kids and she adored Liam."

Martha Stewart
"Just heard the tragic news about poor Natasha Richardson. Her family must be devastated. My sincerest condolences to all."

Actress Demi Moore
"I am sending out prayers for Natasha Richardson and her family. This is a real reminder of how precious life can be."

Film Director Nick Moore, who worked with Miss Richardson in her final film, Wild Child
"I'm shocked and deeply saddened by this. She was wonderfully generous and kind; a complete joy to be with. All the kids in the movie loved being around her. She pitched in and was great with them. She led by example."

The ladies just love David Beckham!

Beckham hasn't put a foot wrong since the 2004 affair allegations and I'm sure every paparazzi photographer in Milan is out for that compromising shot of him and another woman.

Last night Becks unwittingly played into the paps hands being pictured out at a Cancer Research Gala dinner in Milan in a rather friendly position with Italian socialite Gabriella Dompe. Gabriella had just placed the highest bid for a Beckham shirt at the fundraising auction held at the city's Le Officine Del Volo. I'm not sure that this bit of personal attention was included in the auction.

The second photograph which to me looks like a friendly chat shows David with stunning supermodel Malike who is also the wife of football boss Adriano Galliani.

David and Victoria Beckham's marriage was first rocked by rumours of infidelity in 2004 whilst the couple were living in separate countries and Beckham got a little close to his PA Rebecca Loos. She claims to have had an intimate 4 month affair with Becks. Nobody sued but Victoria kept her dignity and put on a brave face for the world standing by and supporting her husband, the father of her three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

Rebecca Loos on the other hand sold her story to every tabloid who would hear it, appeared in a dramatic televised interview detailing every liason with the footballer, even showing us his saucy text messages. Loos milked it for all it was worth and as one does nowadays, she also appeared on various reality television programmes. Only last week (yes, 5 years on!) I saw her in a magazine telling us she is pregnant and is glad it isn't Becks... poor David just can't shake her off!

Following the highly publicised alleged affair, the Beckhams managed to keep things together and move forward. The family has moved to LA, given birth to baby son Cruz, launched the now successful DVB clothing brand, completed a spectacular Spice Girl reunion tour and done loads of modelling including most recently the his and her Giorgio Armani campaigns... in fact everything seems to be hunky dory in the fabulous world of Beckham.

Just last week the couple spent time together dining out before being temporarily separated whilst David plays Soccer in Milan for Football team AC Milan and Victoria stays with the children to work in LA.

I'm sure it was all perfectly innocent evening, David even wowed the crowd with some of his football skills during the night. Let's hope Victoria's in a good mood and shares that same sentiment when she comes across these pictures.

Jennifer and Mayer OVER (yes again!)

Actress Jennifer Aniston and long term boyfriend, musician John Mayer appear to have ended their relationship for the second time according to close friends and reported by E! News. The on-off celebrity couple first got together in April 2008 before splitting, then getting back together. Both parties reps have declined to comment at this point.

Jennifer has only just returned from her trip to the UK promoting her new rom-com dog film Marley and Me where she stars opposite Owen Wilson.

Whilst on tour, she told a magazine: "Who ever said that every relationship has to last forever? That's hoping too much, I think every relationship is a world unto itself."

When on the topic of finding the perfect partner, she said, "I don't have one and I don't think it exists." Whilst she seems to be speaking from the heart and her honesty should be congratulated, cynical words like this don't paint a happy picture of her idea of love or what a relationship represents to her.


Jennifer also told US TV show Extra earlier this year that the pressures of dating are worse than when she wasn't famous. She added: "I think it's just hard to date. It's not like we're kids. We're not dating. I love dates - when you're already with someone."

The split is rather untimely as Jennifer and Jon only went public with their relationship for the first time at the end of last month when they attended the Oscars together looking like a happy and very much in-love couple. Backstage at the Kodak Theatre, Aniston told Gayle King, who was interviewing them for her pal Oprah's show, that she was "very happy." Later in the evening, they strolled arm in arm into the Vanity Fair post show party at the Sunset Tower Hotel.






Jennifer and John, apparently happy together at the Oscars


Jennifer also presented an award at the Oscars with Jack Black which which was watched by none other than Angelina and Brad. Jennifer and Angelina haven't actually come face to face since Angelina hooked up with Brad shortly after Brad and Jennifers split. It must have been a big night for both parties.

As for the future, close friends have told People magazine “They had some disagreements and decided to not continue to see each other, Jen is moving on with her life like she always does. She seems happy.”

I'm sure she'll have plenty to of distractions to keep her mind off the split as she starts filming in New York city this spring. In her new film 'The Baster', she stars opposite Jason Bateman in a role as an unmarried 40 year old who decides to have a baby with her best friend.

John Mayer is currently working on his new studio album.

Both Jennifers ex's have moved on with new loves, children and children on the way (Vince Vaughans fiance is reported to be pregnant). It can't be a huge comfort to Jennifer knowing that the men who have passed through her life seem happy and settled with their partners. On the other hand she is extremely successful with a platter full of box office hits under her belt and loads of friends!

A bit of time and we think she'll be ok!

Gisele tells Harpers Bazaar she's ready for kids!

Brazillian bombshell, newlywed Gisele Bundchen is once again gracing the cover of Harpers Bazaar for the April 2009 issue. Previous covers include 2002 and 2004 issues of the stylish mag.

Inside, fans will be delighted with the in-depth interview where she offers exclusive insight into her life, openly discussing growing up, her and Bradys baby plans and just why Gisele has chosen Tom to be her husband!

I've read the article thoroughly and extracted the interesting bits for you... enjoy!

When Harpers asked about new hubby Tom Brady, Gisele has this to say: "Tom is a good guy, he has a very pure heart. He's very naive, almost like a child. That is my favorite quality about him." She continues, "One thing that I thought was so amazing when I first met him is that he is innocent. He sees the world with colored glasses. It's beautiful, but I think that is rare. I love that about him. No one else sees that. He's very strong and focused in his job, but he's so sensitive, it's amazing."

Gisele also admits to Harpers that she is now ready to become a mother and also gives us some beautiful insight into her old-fashioned values saying: "I want to have a big family, my parents have been together for 36 years, and that is what I want. I am in that place. It's all good in that part of my life. It's one part of my life that I'm learning about every day. I've been challenged a lot by it, but it's the most rewarding part."

On the subject of husband Tom's Brady's gorgeous one-year-old son, John Edward from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynaham, Gisele beams, saying, "I love kids, it's amazing that I have the opportunity to hang out with my stepson all the time." Gisele continues, "He is so kind. He loves blueberries, and every now and then my dog, Vida, tries to get some food from him. He is so nice that he will give her the blueberries first. He is so cute and has such a sweet demeanor."

Gisele also reveals some aspects of her past which surprisingly weren't covered by the ever intrusive media at the time. She talks intimately about a very low time in her life where the point came when she needed to take half a year off work and go home to Brazil before travelling through Africa.
"I was drinking a lot of red wine, smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes a day, and eating cheeseburgers all day. I was treating my body, which is my temple and my best friend, as my worst enemy," Gisele reveals. "I was almost punishing myself. I was so tired. I was working so much, and I was numb."

Following that period of unhappiness, Gisele turned to self-help books for advice, "If you are happy, you can give happiness, if you don't love yourself and if you are unhappy with yourself, you can't give anything else but that" she adds.

About her humble up-bringing and hometown, Gisele says: "There were no traffic lights in my city, no movie theater — one hotel, and one bank, we didn't have a housekeeper, so we all cleaned the house." Giseles father (a teacher) and mother (a bank cashier) raised their six daughters while working.

Gisele was discovered at age 13 by an Elite agent at a shopping mall. "Maybe if my family had been wealthy, I wouldn't have done it, but because they weren't, I decided to go," she says. "I didn't want to leave my whole family, but my parents were working and I had five sisters, so things were challenging. I figured I could be independent and work. I thought I could take care of myself and it would be one less child for them to worry about."

The article goes on to describe Gisele's undoubtedly massive success as a model...

At the end of the interview and photoshoot, Harpers tells us that Gisele spent ages wiping off make-up, false eye-lashes and flattening her hair before wailing, "I haven't seen Tom in 10 days and now I'm going to show up like this?" Sweet girl...

Wow! Great interview! Definitely worth a magazine purchase!



Here are some of the stunning chic Harpers photoshoot pics which I'm sure will be even better on paper in the magazine...
