New Chatter

Unless you’re going to a Halloween party or going trick or treating, black lipstick is just not that flattering on many people. And I’m sort of wondering whether her eyebrows were lightened or if it’s just the contrast with the lips but for sure, Lily Allen is one hot mess with this Goth look of hers.

The singer unleashed her inner Goth at the Luella fashion show in London this week. I guess she’s styling herself according to her mood. It’s not a good thing girl. You better get yourself together before I go over there and whip your butt.

When you look at Amy Winehouse the last thing you think of is fashion. With a string of troubles including drugs, bulimia and a jailed hubby you are more likely to think of a walking disaster area.

Unless of course your name is Karl Lagerfield. The top designer thinks that the singer is his new muse; even going as far as to compare her with sixties French actress Bridget Bardot.

To prove it the new line (ahem) by the designer is totally dedicated to the beehive queen.

Karl said of the singer: “She is a beautiful, gifted artist. And I very much like her hairdo. I took it as an inspiration. Because, in fact, it was also Brigitte Bardot’s hairdo in the late Fifties and Sixties. And now Amy has made it her own style.

“So, when I saw her, I knew it was the right moment. Amy . . . she is the new Brigitte.”

It seems she just can’t learn her lesson. In past months Britney Spears has been involved in countless driving incidents including running a red light, driving over a policeman’s foot; and recently she was banned from having her kids in the car with her when she was driving. But all this obviously isn’t enough to turn the pop star into the model driver.

In a move sure to prevent the ruling about her kids being overturned, Miss Spears was caught on camera by Hollywood TV sending a text on her mobile phone whilst driving. Now you would think that as a big celeb; used to being followed by the press, Britney would think twice about misbehaving and getting away with it. Doesn’t she know by now the paparazzi have a way of seeing everything?

Britney, honey, hire a chauffeur or something. You really oughtn’t to be on the roads.

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed that the Spice Girls lipsynched their songs at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Thursday and the BBC One special on Friday. But sources close to the ladies are guaranteeing that they will be singing live when they go out on tour which will kick off on December 2.

An insider explains the reason for the girls making a shortcut at the fashion show saying “Last night with all the production issues and different set ups, it would have been a nightmare. Better safe than sorry. Rarely do we trust TV sound (apart from the big awards shows).”

I guess we just have to wait for the tour.

Colombian pop superstar Shakira has yet to start planning for her wedding to fiancé Antonio De La Rua - because she’s “too busy”. The 30-year-old - who announced her engagement to the son of former Argentinean president Fernando de la Rua in March 2001 - admits her nuptials have been put on hold as a result of her packed work schedule. If she is already engaged and is still sticking to her man then I think she should give her commitments a break and enjoy life and bask under the glories of a moon light life of being wedded. Work is important but so is life itself, you have to have a feel of all the virtues that life as a bachelor and life as a couple provides. Well we’ll leave it up to her to decide when she wants to tie the knot, but till then and even after she has tied the know I’d like her to keep giving up the super numbers that she has given us to date, you rock Shakira and we follow your music coz that rocks as well.
