A headline for people in LA and a headline within a headline?. Heidi Montag and Ashley Dupre and a small gathering of other celebrities were at a Dolce group celebrity event last night in LA, West Hollywood area for the opening of the new restaurant called “Lemon Basket”

Just another restaurant opening you could say and “so what” ois the other!  BUT this looks to be a replacement for the Restaurant called “Ketchup” that mysteriously vanished a month or so ago amidst rumours it was going to be “remodelled”. Renamed is  the expression that probably springs to mind.   Apparently this restaurant features in the new VH1 Reality Show called “Famous food” according to Eater.com that has the finger on the pulse of such things. Now we’re talking!!!

What’s Skateland  all about? According to IMDB it is simply this:

In the early 1980s, in a small-town in Texas, dramatic events force a 19-year-old skating rink manager to look at his life in a very new way.

Doesn’t sound that inspiring does it. Line up looks average as well? IMDB are giving it a rating of just 4 stars out of 10 which doesn’t look that great either. Can’t be that bad can it? Here’s what Daily Film Dose had to say in summary.

“Much like ‘The Runaways’ the film admirably coasts full steam ahead on a full tank of genuine nostalgia and enthusiasm for its bygone era”.  Get the full review at Dailyfilmdose.com it’s decent

Just one problem,  The Runaways didn’t do that well in the box office though, even with Kristen Stewart in it? Ending on a positive note if you are into 80′s music , by all accounts Blondie, Queen and other music from that era does feature strongly in this film. Still worth a look we think ,but with the current film crop out there at present we think this film could get buried in box office terms, which may not be the desired end result?

The St. Bernard Project & The Spears Family Presents An Evening Of "Southern Style" Event. LA!

Britney Spears

Britney Spears

Britney Spears is a name we are seeing daily with regards to her music, and outside her music she’s also in the headlines on a daily basis as well, but red carpet headlines that’s another thing.

An Evening of Southern Style Event by Britney Spears

This all changed last night with the “The St. Bernard Project & The Spears Family Presents An Evening Of Southern Style” a charity style event  that had Britney Spears, Jason Trawick and Kim Kardashian in attendance.. Sporting a lime green ensemble our least favourite colour here, but it’s got to be said she looked the biz although tamer than some of her past red carpet offerings but then it’s that sort of event.

Kim Kardashian who wore black the other night at the Midori Liqueurs launch switched over to the exact opposite of white for this event and what can we say, she’s always immaculately turned out and always spot on the money. BUT then she should as she attends multiple events every week and owns her own fashion label in the form of DASH clothing.

Now in strict terms this was not really a red carpet event as it was held at a private residence in Beverly Hills that looks to be remaining nameless.What’s this charity cause all about? We’ll hand you over to Louisiana born Britney Spears and this is what she has to say about it on her Official Facebook page. Every star has to have a cause ,if you don’t…………… then you’re not a star. Simple!

The Canes Film Festival now in it’s 64th Year is THE one on the film festival calendar. Stars, directors and anybody that is anything in film lands here at this event. It’s a big one. The Toronto Festival is bigger by size but this event is bigger by reputation. .

The opening ceremony is a red carpet spectacular that ranks up there with the Academy Awards some would say it’s better. Last year due to economic circumstances it was big, but corners were obviously cut here and there in order to keep within a tighter budget. This year we get the impression a bit more cash may have been splashed. Names that stand out on the red carpet includeJude Law, Karolina Kurkova, Malanie Griffith, Robert De Niro, Salma Hayek and Uma Thurman. No Jolie this year though. Salma Hayek did it for us on the red carpet and Uma Thurman wasn’t far behind. Cheryl Cole arrivedearlier today at Nice airport, whether she is at this event we couldn’t fathom. Check our Twitter page for photos of her arriving with Jonathan Ross and others .

Kim Kardashian and the Midori Melon Liqueur Launch. Hollywood!

Kim Kardashian top Socialite and Reality TV Star and as it says on her Twitter profile “business woman” amongst many other things  is now the face of Midori Melon Liqueurs (announced March) was at the Midori Melon Liqueur Launch  Midori Trunk Shows at Trousdale in West Hollywood, LA yesterday along with La La Vazquez..

Kim tweeted prior to the event  , “Can’t wait to see u! RT @mariamenounos: @kimkardashian I’m coming to ur midori event tonight. Looking forward to seeing u:)”

The usual figure hugging number for this event in Black was the attire and of course you have to sample the goods you are promoting which means drinking plenty of Midori. She gets paid for this! You can imagine the job advert for this .

Black Eyed Peas and "Don't Stop The Party" Official Video and Review!

Black Eyed Peas have been a bit quiet musically lately but these things don’t last for long. They have a new official video out called “Don’t Stop The Party”,which has been out for ages in audio format but now the official video has been released. Lets have a look.

The Video: A Live Black Eyed Peas Gig video watchers dream. Shot from various locations with live performance shots and backstage footage, it’s a Black Eye Peas fans live spotting vid and a tour mash up supremo. Looks like one of those fan made You Tube style videos but apparently this is the real deal. Love these sort of videos. Very good is the verdict!
