Coachella snapshots: Agy! Dita! The Hoff!

Posted by Jane Murphy

 

As ever, it was celebrities-a-go-go at this year's Coachella festival in Palm Springs. Some did their darndest to melt into the background - while others seemed intent on being the centre of attention.

In the picture above, for example, we have supermodel Agyness Deyn (top), singer/songwriter Remi Nicole (far left, second row), designer Henry Holland (far right, second row) and a bunch of their less famous friends performing a pretty impressive human pyramid. As you do.

Meanwhile, A-list couple Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal kept a relatively low profile. But Jake unwittingly became the paparazzi's No.1 target when he was spotted wandering around with his flies undone...

 

Oh well, he's not the first one to leave a festival toilet in a hurry, is he?

Other fashion shocks on parade? There was a dressed-down Dita Von Teese in - pass the smelling salts! - flat shoes...

 

And David Hasselhoff was spotted showing off a female companion, down-with-the-kids ripped jeans, camouflage jacket and jaunty hat...

 

Other celebrities in attendance included Paris Hilton (obviously), Kimberly Stewart, Cat Deeley, Kirsten Dunst, Chloë Sevigny, Drew Barrymore and Adrian Grenier.

Now, if only that little lot had attempted a human pyramid, it could have been the paparazzi shot of the century...

Leave Nicole alone!

Harumph! Remember how gorgeous Nicole Kidman looked at Tuesday night's Women in Hollywood event?

Well, if you lean in really, really close to your computer screen and stare at this picture, you may be able to spot a few grey hairs on Nicole's head.

Yep, news just in: women in their forties sometimes have grey hair! Shocking, isn't it?

Forget the presidential elections and world financial meltdown: this one's really got the press in a tizzy.

The Daily Mail calls Nic's grey flecks "a rare mis-step for the actress" - and ponders whether the "stress of new motherhood" had given the star a few extra grey hairs.

Meanwhile, staff at the Daily Mirror think Nicole "had her eyes wide shut when it comes to hair grooming". And there was even a special section devoted to Nicole's hair on this morning's GMTV.

Just one question... How come grey hair is deemed sexy on a 40-something actor, such as George Clooney - but when 41-year-old Nicole lets her roots grow out, everyone shakes their heads and thinks she's let herself go? Tell us what you think.

Giddy up, Jordan!

Posted by Jane Murphy

You've read the books. You've watched the TV shows. You've sniffed the perfume, slept beneath the duvet, heard the records and - very possibly - worn the lingerie (admit it, boys)!

Well, now it's time to get your mitts on KP Equestrian - Jordan's new range of clothing for riders and horses.

Yep, that's right: why stick to boring old jackets and jodhpurs? And why should your horse miss out on all the fun? Now the two of you can get togged up in these must-have matching pink ensembles and be the envy of everyone else at the stables.

Incidentally, the artist also known as Katie Price had a very busy day yesterday.

Having spent the afternoon posing for these stunning pics, she hot-footed it over to the Trocadero in London's Leicester Square for the Ripley's Believe It Or Not! red carpet gala.

As you can see, our Jords undid her pigtails and sported a rather impressive up-do for the occasion. Meanwhile, her horse wore a pink velvet playsuit and Christian Louboutin wedges. Possibly.

So which of Jordan's latest looks do you prefer? Tell us here.

That's just silly, Thierry

Posted by Jane Murphy

Is French footie favourite Thierry Henry launching a one-man campaign to become the subject of worldwide photo caption competitions?

When this shot of him posing with two whales turned up at our picture agency earlier in the week, I chose to ignore it. And that's in spite of the plethora of lukewarm "Barcelona unveil shock new strike-force"-style captions it so richly deserves...

But then he went out on the streets of New York, wearing this tie-print T-shirt - so I felt the time had come for him to make an appearance on this blog.

Is it just me or is that shirt just a teeny-weeny bit silly?

Now, here’s a coincidence. Remember how I asked you yesterday whether David Beckham’s entire life was just one huge Armani ad?

Well, Emporio Armani has just unveiled a new set of ads, featuring Mr B posing in a selection of tight-fitting pants. The eye-popping adverts are set to go up on billboards across the world - which some people may find mildly distracting. Let’s hope they don’t cause any accidents…

Marcia's shock new hairstyle

Posted by Jane Murphy

Friday: Celebrity gossip-mongers start to hyperventilate when Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross is seen leaving a Beverly Hills hair salon sporting a severe new 'do.

Sunday: Everyone starts back-tracking and looking a bit sheepish when it turns out it was only a wig.

Mind you, I think the brown bob quite suited her. Anyone else think she should get the cut for real?

Singing in the rain?

Posted by Jane Murphy

Susan Sarandon looked positively distraught at being caught in the rain at last night's Speed Racer premiere. But it's London! It's April! What kind of weather were you expecting, Suse?

Still, maybe the Oscar-winner was just irritated at having to carry her own umbrella. After all, co-star Christina Ricci got a little man to hold hers for her...

National treasure Sir Ian McKellen wasn't taking any chances, though. As you can see from this pic, the sensible actor opted for a medium-sized umbrella hat, but kept another massive brolly open next to him at all times...

Meanwhile, across London... an absent-minded Amy Winehouse left her house without an umbrella, so had to compromise with the old bag-on-top-of-the-head trick instead...

Good thinking, Amy!

Posted by Jane Murphy

Hmmm... I wonder if Paris Hilton knew the cameras were there when she popped to Los Angeles boutique Kitson for a spot of retail therapy yesterday.

Actually, it turns out everyone's favourite hotel heiress was there to promote an online charity auction, offering fans the opportunity to accompany her on a shopping trip.

Personally I can't think of a worse way to spend an afternoon - but each to their own, eh?

Gwyn does it again!

Posted by Jane Murphy

I really hope Iron Man is one of those movies you can watch again and again, discovering different levels of intrigue and meaning each time.

If not, Gwyneth Paltrow must be bored to tears by now: the poor woman's shown up to around 101 premieres of her new movie over the past fortnight. Last night, it was the turn of New York - where Gwyn repeated the little-black-dress-and-heels trick that stole headlines in London on Friday.

But - look! - this LBD is even sexier than the last one, with large cut-out areas giving "tantalising glimpses of her skin", although it does cover her up in all the right places. It was designed by Gwyn's mate Stella McCartney, in case you were wondering.

Love it? Hate it? Would you wear it yourself? Tell us now.

Posted by Jane Murphy

Heavens to Betsy! Gwyneth Paltrow has got the tabloids in a right old tizz today - thanks to the little black dress, bare legs and towering heels combo she sported at last night's Iron Man premiere in London's Leicester Square.

But as you admire the Oscar-winner's red carpet style, do spare a thought for Dr Miriam Stoppard: the Daily Mirror's health columnist must have had to work through the night, as Gwyn's fabulous footwear has prompted her to write a cautionary feature about the dangers of wearing "killer heels".

Still, the evening wasn't all about Gwyneth's fashion choices. The usual bizarre mix of US and British stars showed up, too. Gwyn's co-star Robert Downey Jnr clearly only had eyes for his wife Susan...

The occasion also marked a rare red-carpet outing for Skins stars Mike Bailey and Joe Dempsie - otherwise known as "the thinking teenager's crumpet"...

And it really wouldn't be a London movie premiere without a former Big Brother star, now would it? Here's BB7's Imogen Thomas looking positively - and somewhat uncharacteristically - demure in a posh red frock...

Look out, Demi!

Posted by Jane Murphy

Hollywood heartthrob Ashton Kutcher went solo in London last night for the premiere of his new movie, What Happens In Vegas. On-screen leading lady Cameron Diaz couldn't make the trip due to the recent death of her father - while real-life partner Demi Moore clearly had better things to do back in Hollywood.

But doesn't Demi worry when her toy-boy husband is away from the marital home? "I love London," gushes Ashton. "I love the women. Demi doesn't mind at all. As long as I look but don't touch."

So let's see who Ashton was looking at - but not touching - at last night's premiere, shall we?

Well, there was glamour model/reality TV star/world's most annoying person Danielle Lloyd...

Not to mention glamour model/reality TV star/world's second most annoying person Rebecca Loos (good to have you back, Rebecca - no, really)...

And the eight remaining wannabe Nancies from the BBC's I'd Do Anything...

Oh Ashton, how did you ever manage to contain yourself?

Claudia's new look

Posted by Will Parkhouse

OK, so maybe it’s not a permanent new look – apparently that's a wig she's wearing for a New York shoot with designer Karl Lagerfield – but we can’t help thinking maybe Claudia Schiffer should ditch the tried and tested long blonde locks and go for a full-time dark crop – and so what if she totally nicked it off Katie Holmes?

What do you think: should she keep her wig on - or return to her rightful hair?

Liz Hurley, slave-driver?

Posted by Stewart Turner.

Liz Hurley’s back in the papers today for all the wrong reasons, following the shocking allegations that she’s been paying her Indian-born maid less than half the minimum wage

Liz, former face of Estée Lauder, and reportedly worth a cool £13m, apparently paid 31-year-old Violet D’Souza the princely sum of £1.20 an hour for doing the cooking and cleaning. At that rate, it would take a fair few hours to bag herself enough cash to pop down to Boots for a bottle of Pleasures, Liz’s bestselling scent.

The case was due to go before an employment tribunal tomorrow, but Liz and husband Arun Nayar have reputedly settled the case with a five-figure sum.

What with Newsnight’s Mr. Angry Jeremy Paxman in the news the other week for similar, slave-driving reasons, one has to wonder what planet these celebs are living on.

Are they genuinely malicious, stingy Scrooges, unwilling to shell out more than a measly few quid of their vast fortunes to get their underpants ironed? Or is it just that they haven’t got a clue how much real people earn?

Britney accuses mum of sleeping with boyfriend

Posted by Will Parkhouse

A tough first night in hospital for Britney Spears, we hear. The singer, now sectioned in UCLA Medical Centre after being hospitalised yesterday, spent several hours screaming.

It’s thought that Britters also accused her mother Lynn of sleeping with her boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, yelling: "The only reason she's admitting me is because she wants to be alone with her boyfriend. She wants to sleep with my boyfriend."

Celebrity website TMZ reports that doctors have classified Britney as "gravely disabled”, meaning she is “unable to take care of basic needs, such as the acquisition of food, clothing or shelter". It’s not looking good.

Posh bares all

Posted by Will Parkhouse

Ooh, look, there’s something you don’t see every day. It’s Victoria Beckham with no clothes on! On a grey T-shirt!

Designer Marc Jacobs was the man who managed to persuade Posh to strip – and it’s for a good cause, what with it promoting skin cancer and that. Well, not promoting it exactly - you know what we mean.

“Since we have moved to California, I have realised how important it is to practise safe sun for myself and to keep the skin of my three boys well-protected as well,” said Mrs Beckham in an uncannily press release-esque fashion.

Luckily all T-shirts protect skin from the sun's UV rays – but if you want to save yourself in style, you can pick up one of these limited edition tees for around £18 from Marc Jacobs boutiques. Er, apparently there’s one in Mayfair.

Britney's troubles

Posted by Will Parkhouse

“Gimme gimme more,” sang Britney Spears last year. And looking at the number of paparazzi and paramedics who swooped in on her Beverly Hills home last night, that’s exactly what she got.

Nine police vehicles, four news helicopters, three ambulances and about a million photographers. Oh, and two children. The fact that of all people, Kevin Federline seems to have become the main stabilising influence in the lives of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, shows how far down the line Britters has come.

With reports of drinking problems and the “unknown substances” of last night, has La Spears brought this on herself? Or would the mental stress of losing your kids while the whole world looks on bring anyone to their knees?

Becks goes grey

Posted by Will Parkhouse

David Beckham has been in the papers this morning for doing what he does (second) best: flaunting a “controversial” hairdo.

Looking, as he does, like Amy Winehouse has sneezed on his head, Becks and his bleached coiff have come in for some criticism. The Sun, for example, compares the footballer to grumpy pensioner Victor Meldrew, suggesting he looks “more Oldenballs than Goldenballs”.

Can anything mar the legendary Beckham countenance? Or is this one haircut too far? Comments below please.

Kidman does Tin Man

Posted by Jane Murphy

It looks like Nicole Kidman decided to get into the festive spirit - by going to the Sydney premiere of new movie The Golden Compass dressed as the Tin Man from The Wizard Of Oz.

Australia's favourite export (sorry, Kylie) looked in danger of going rusty as she hung around on the red carpet to sign autographs in the pouring rain.

Nicole had clearly decided to leave her gorgeous designer gowns at home - and opted instead for a figure-hugging silver suit. But sharp-tongued critics have been less than flattering about her wardrobe choice.

Still, at least she didn't go the whole hog and wear a silver funnel on her head - that would just have been silly...

Baby Spice hobbles in

"I'm praying that I will be all right for Saturday. Even if I have to come on stage in crutches I'll be there,” said Emma Bunton as the Spice Girls arrived back in the UK, adding that she’d seen the doctor who treated David Beckham.

Okay, we know there’s a tour to promote and photoshoots to be doing, but crutches and heels (all right, heel)? Is she mad? We don’t remember David Beckham going round in inappropriate footwear when he broke his metatarsal. Or is Roberto Cavalli's grip over the Spices so strong that looks are more important than a dose of common sense?

Lohan and Ledger?

Posted by Will Parkhouse

After splitting from snowboarder Riley Giles the other day (his alleged crimes: pouting and penny-pinching), Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been seeing Heath Ledger. That’s what Aussie magazine New Weekly are saying, anyway.

"Lindsay and Heath hit it off straight away," a source told the mag, claiming the pair met at New York's Beatrice Inn over Thanksgiving weekend. “When she left the club she started texting him straight away and they hooked up a few times while she was still in New York."

By the way, that butch green superhero in the picture above isn't Heath. That’s Lindsay desperately trying to earn some cash by filming a commercial with the Incredible Hulk. Why is she looking so miserable? Getting paid to hang out with The Hulk and Batman sounds like a dream day out to me.

Katie's new haircut

Posted by Will Parkhouse

Ooh look, Katie Holmes has been to the hairdresser's and got herself a bang. She bangs, she bangs, as eminent raconteur and wit Ricky Martin once sang.

Although the new do has the appearance of an old-fashioned brown motorcycle helmet, you have to admit it makes her look younger (although this was probably her greatest moment).

Having said that, whenever I see I picture of her, I just can’t stop picturing a thought bubble above her head that says, “I am planning my escape. It will be soon.”

Anyway, what do you reckon: bang on or crash bang wallop? Post your comments down below.

Wow, Christina Aguilera’s looking a bit fat these days. She must’ve been knocking back pints of London Pride like no one’s business. What’s that? Pregnant? Is that the thing with the sperm and eggs and stuff? Oh. Right.

Well anyway, after annoying everyone by refusing over and over again to confirm she was up the duff, Aggers is now rubbing everyone’s face in it, by doing a Demi Moore and appearing in this month’s Marie Claire completely starkers.

And her unclothed airbrushed bits aren’t all the Aggmeister reveals as she discusses the ins and outs (sorry) of how she and husband Jordan Bratman made the magic happen.

“We were planning on starting to try after the tour,” she says. “And so, I had gone off the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn't know how much time it would take. You've heard it takes some time - except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here... I'm like, ‘Oh, my God, can you believe it just happened?’”

Nice jacket, by the way.

Madonna in sheep dye row

Posted by Jane Murphy

Oh dear - bad Madonna. Bad, bad, baaad Madonna.

The 49-year-old Queen of Pop has sparked a furious row with animal rights activists after dying the sheep on her Wiltshire estate blue, pink, yellow and green for a Vogue photo shoot.

"Why is it necessary and what is she trying to prove?" asks a furious RSPCA spokesperson. "It sends out the wrong message about how to use animals. Even if the dye is safe, others might copy it with unsafe dye."

Hmmm... what's the betting that Guy Ritchie gets a nice blue, pink, yellow and green jumper for Christmas?

Hmmm... footie star Ashley Cole still looked a little disappointed about England crashing out of Euro 2008 when he bowled up to Kimberley Walsh's birthday party at the weekend.

And that's despite wife Cheryl's best efforts to help him put things in perspective. "I told Ash to get over the loss and move on because now we can go on holiday early next summer," she admits - with the same kind of tact and candour usually displayed by fellow Wag Victoria Beckham. "That went down like a lead balloon." Funny, that...

Still, Chezza has plenty of other tricks up her sleeve to encourage her husband to smile again. She's just got a new tattoo on the back of her neck, bearing the words "Mrs Cole". How romantic!

Britney’s new boyfriend

Posted by Will Parkhouse

“Waiter waiter, there’s a fly in my soup.”
“Please don’t speak so loudly, Madam, or everyone will realise you’re Britney Spears and get scared you’re about to do something crazy, like attack their SUVs with umbrellas, jump in the sea in your pants, or flash your bits.”
“Good point. Hey, you’re hot by the way, fancy being my new boyfriend?”

OK, it probably didn’t happen like that, but bottom line is that Britters is now seeing waiter Michael Marchand. The pair have been spotted dining out together at Los Angeles’ Mirabelle restaurant, where Michael works – well, if you get a staff discount, why not use it?

An insider gave Life and Style Magazine the details: “Michael came in a little after midnight, and she came in right after. They were being discreet. Forty-five minutes later, they left the restaurant together. He was charming – he made Britney laugh and looked at her with this secret smile. They left in separate cars.”

“Their chemistry was immediate. He’s very turned on by her. Since then, the two had at least one date at Brit’s mansion.” So is he caviar or a pot noodle? Post your thoughts on the new boy below…

Oh, and apparently, “the sock will be framed under glass and delivered with a letter of authenticity”. Wow.

Jake and Reese Gyllenspoon get it on

Posted by Will Parkhouse

Despite laughing off the rumours that they were together, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have been spotted holding hands during a trip to Rome.

Reese – just divorced from fellow Cruel Intentions star Ryan Phillippe, whom she met at her 21st birthday party in 1997 – has been waxing lyrical about her new man, calling him “kind, generous and funny”. Apparently the pair met on the set of new flick Rendition, which suggests that if you want to try your luck with Withers, you should make sure you’re her co-star first.

Celebrity tradition requires us to christen the new pairing with a stupid compound name. The Sun have gone for “Reesenhaal”. We prefer “Gyllenspoon”.

Lindsay's back!

Phew! When I first saw this hot-off-the-press paparazzi pic of Lindsay Lohan stepping out at night sporting a little black dress, I thought she'd hit the Los Angeles party scene again. But it turns out the clue's in her beautifully coiffed blonde mane: Li-Lo was simply leaving a hair salon before heading home for another cosy night in with new man, snowboarder Ryley Giles.

It's now been a fortnight since Lindsay checked out of rehab - and more than week since she reported back for work (she's an actress, remember?) in Hollywood.

Amy is arrested

Posted by Helen Jennings

It’s been reported that Amy Winehouse was arrested in Norway last night on suspicion of drug possession.

The singer, currently on a European tour, was staying at the Radisson Hotel in Bergen when staff smelt the unmistakable aroma of marijuana coming from her room and alerted the police.

Both Winehouse and her darling husband Blake Fielder-Civil were allegedly detained in separate cells and released at 7am this morning with a fine of £350.

A police spokeswoman said: "She is no longer at the station. We found a small quantity of marijuana in her room. A small team of local officers were involved. Both individuals were very co-operative."

Full details of the occurrence are as yet unconfirmed – but if Amy’s first gig on the tour in Germany a few days ago is anything to go by, she is struggling. She tripped and staggered as she walked on stage and forgot the lines of the opening song, her cover version of The Zutons' ‘Valerie’. She is due to due to perform tonight at Bergen’s Peer Gynt venue.

Will she make it to the end of the tour in one piece, I wonder?

Kate joins the bang gang

Posted by Jane Murphy

Guess who's the talk of the tabloids today (besides Jonny Wilkinson and that old fella who's stepped down as leader of the Lib Dems, I mean)? It's Kate Moss. The reason? Well, as you can see from our top action shot, she's been spotted sporting "the hottest new Hollywood hairstyle", as the Daily Mirror so eloquently puts it.

Yep, apparently, the "bang" - known to us Brits as a "fringe" - is the latest hair trend to cross the Atlantic and "send women of all ages rushing to the salon." Excuse me? I've had a fringe since Kate still lived in Croydon: in fact, I may well have walked past her in the Whitgift Centre in 1981. I bet she first got the idea from me.

However, not everyone loves Kate's new 'do. The Sun's gossip columnist Victoria Newton compares the supermodel's barnet to a "haystack" - and suggests her style guru may well have been Worzel Gummidge. Personally, we're not so sure. What do you think of her new look? Post your comments below and let us know...
