Monica Bellucci

Some celebrity spotting and sightings over the weekend as it was quiet this week. Sightings from Europe and Stateside covering New York in New York City and the New Jersey area. Europe includes Paris at Charles de Gaulle Airport and Central, a first for celebrity spotting a funeral in Manchester and  X Factor contestant and judge spotting in London. Last but by no means least an Italian female celebrity spotted in Portofino Italy. We’ve got pink stretch limos, celebs carrying cycles and more!

A huge amount of names in this line up including a large proportion of the Coronation Street cast at the Betty Driver funeral who died recently at the age of 91. The cast really turned out for this event and Julie Goodyear was obviously in attendance and affected the most. She was probably the closest to Betty Driver  with their roles going back to the early days of Coronation Street  in  Black and White, that’s a long long time ago.. Don’t normally cover actual funerals on this site just  as a mark of respect. These photos are sombre in nature but no signs of obvious distress so we’ve gone with these pictures,  as you will probably never see the likes of nearly the entire cast at one location any time soon in the near future!

Rihanna ‘We Found Love’ feat Calvin Harris Official Video and Verdict!

Rihanna

Rihanna has yet another new number out called ‘We Found Love’ with a Feat of Calvin Harris and this has been out about 8 hours at the time of writing and  is the official video. A word on official videos. There are official videos and then their are official official videos, this one is the latter from her Vevo channel so link guaranteed. Just saying!! Lets review this thing

Video:After all the headlines surrounding this video during production concerning Irish farmers and new found love on set,  is this video any good. Urban gritty and very Brit it’s shot in Ireland and deals with substance abuse and love within that scenario and was shot in Belfast.. Deep and dark it is. The video is  directed by Melina Matsoukas and features  model/boxer, Dudley O’Shaughnessy which media stated at the time  things sparked off as they say on set in a romantic manner concerning Rihanna. Very good video by the way!

The Song. Again continuing
