today is where your book begins
July 15, 2008As my life continues to resemble that of Lauren Conrad (minus the People’s Revolution job and MTV cameras) it’s only right to air my fondness of the girl.



















With her love of Chanel and Marc Jacobs, and her penchant for wearing big sunglasses, black tights, liquid eyeliner and dark nail polish, I think we’d be best friends. I mean, I already know everything about her life.
Ok maybe I’m not blonde, rich or the star of an MTV show but we both have hefty amounts of unwanted drama in our life. Oh and…
Lauren: Whitney, Whitney come here. I met a cute guy, come here. Tell me if you think he’s cute ‘cause I’m drunk.
~Season 3, Episode 1
Lauren: You know why I’m mad. You know what you did!
Season 3, Episode 1
Lauren: You know how like there’s that one person that you always go back to? You’ll date other people, but like you kind of want to run into them when you’re out.
~Season 3, Episode 2
Lauren: And for once, my career and my personal were under control. Why is it that just when you get things together, you hear from the one person who could pull it all apart?
~Season 3, Episode 6
Lauren: He thinks I like him… Seriously, I never wanted to stab myself in the eye more.
~Season 3, Episode 6
and many many more…

Is it wrong…?
July 6, 2008Considering I’m a journo, I should probably watch the news more often than once a fortnight (and that’s when I’m being really good).
But no, the only thing I watch religiously is MTV. ANYTHING on MTV.
Lately Life of Ryan has been joining the likes of The Hills, A Shot At Love and My Super Sweet 16 on my list of guilty pleasures.
Now up until a week ago I had noooo idea who Ryan Sheckler was (going by the ads and his moans of “Dude I want a girlfriend!” I thought he was a sap).
Turns out he’s been a pro-skateboarder since the age of 13.
Not bad.
And now, at the age of 18, his name is a veritable franchise.
Is it wrong that I find him hot? ‘Cos of his age. And the fact that he’s only 5′8.

Get the London look
April 5, 2008Alexa Chung is rumoured to be replacing Kate Moss as the face of cosmetics brand Rimmel.
The 24-year-old TV presenter has apparently wowed bosses in secret screen tests to find a replacement for 34-year-old Moss.
Among those who also tried out in the secret tests but failed to cut it were Agyness Deyn, Daisy Lowe and Lily Cole.
Emmanuelle Bonte, of Rimmel, declined to comment on Alexa. She insisted: “Kate remains the face of Rimmel London and will continue to appear in campaigns for the foreseeable future. Rimmel London has no plans to replace Kate. We are very happy with the collaboration.”

What is all the fuss about…
March 13, 2008Cory Kennedy?
I stumbled across this lil lady’s blog a while back and didn’t really take any notice. From what I could see she was just some chick who partied a lot and thought she was awesome.
Sometimes I like to perv on Cobrasnake’s party pics (purely to see what all the hip n cool scenesters are wearing and try to gauge just how coked out of it they are) when low and behold who’s the main attraction at some upcoming party? Yep, Cory Kennedy.
In an effort to avoid doing anything thesis-related, I decided it was time for me to actually find out who she is.
And guess what? SHE’S ONLY 18! Which is all well and good ‘cept she’s had supposed IT-girl status since she was 16 and all thanks to Mr Cobrasnake himself. The two even used to date (eeew).








Isn’t there something slightly endearing about her though? I think it’s mostly her age and the fact that she can only be heading somewhere disastrous (she was previously diagnosed as clinically depressed).
Most images taken from the Fashion Spot and I dunno where they got them from…




And they’re from her Myspace
Nylon call her their ‘favourite rascal’ and she’s currently the SS08 face of Urban Decay.
I don’t know why but she kinda reminds me of Cassie from Skins…

They tried to make me go to rehab…
February 10, 2008
Kirsten Dunst is in rehab.
The 25-year-old checked into an unknown facility for an unspecified problem (despite several publications insisting it was Cirque Lodge in Utah) during the week.
A well-known celebrity gossip blogger has previously referred to her as Kiki Drunkst which leads me to believe she needs help with an alcohol problem.
Kirsten is currently the face of Miu Miu’s SS08 campaign. What’s funny is that Lindsay Lohan modelled for their SS07 line and last year she spent €96,500 on rehab costs in an effort to kick her drug and alcohol problems.

Ah here…leave her alone will ya
February 7, 2008Britney Spears has been released from hospital.
According to Reuters, the 26 year old was escorted from UCLA Medical Center on Wednesday, after undergoing a mental evaluation.
We all know what the former pop princess has been through in the last year and a bit… She’s clearly not well. In the infamous words of Chris Crocker: “Leave Britney alone!”.
To be fair, she doesn’t exactly do herself any favours, going out for Starbucks all the time when she could just get someone else to do it, and shacking up with paparazzi. The only way she’s going to get better is if she retires completely from the public eye for a while…

Simon Amstell
January 31, 2008Firstly I would like to point out that one of the top search engine terms that people used to find my blog yesterday was ‘Zac Efron pubes’.
There are some sick people out there.
Moving swiftly on…
Simon Amstell, presenter of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, is one of the funniest men on telly at the moment.He used to present Popworld with Miquita Oliver back in the day. I don’t care. I didn’t watch it (but have since youtubed clips of it). I DO however watch/enjoy/love Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

He’s 28. He’s Jewish. He looks like a hobbit. He’s gay. And he’s very very funny.

I love Alexa
January 26, 2008Alexa Chung: Channel 4 presenter, former model, fashionista and everything I aspire to be.
Ok maybe that’s taking it a bit far… but I’m quite fond of her all the same.









She’s just so darn cool.
