WHO WORE IT BEST: Kimberley Wyatt or Lady GaGa?

Who would have thought that someone would want to wear the same outfit as Lady GaGa!?

This one is actually quite tame compared to some of the fashion pieces (putting it politely!) she has wore in the past.

Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt seems to like it though, but the big question is who wore it best?

CATWALK VS CATALOGUES

When i look at catwalk fashion sometimes i think to myself just why do the designers bother?

I mean i get the whole being different and creative etc, but if no one is ever going to wear them it's just wasting their own time.

Most of the outfits wouldn't even reach the Catalogues, because the prices would be too expensive for a start no doubt.

This creation showcased at Barcelona Fashion Week by Spanish designer Manual Bolano, is amongst the strangest outfits i have seen. I mean bear suits -really!?

Give me catalogue outfits any day. At least browsing through those you see a sense of normality.

And you can get clothes above your typical model 6-10 sizes. I couldn't imagine buying the bear outfit for myself or anyone else either.

Have you noticed all the models look quite miserable when they are walking down the catwalk in these outfits?

I always think whatever crazy outfits the designers create they should wear it themselves. Would they? and could they?

What do you think about the whole Catwalk vs Catalogue Fashion?

Maybe your a fan of the unusual? I do actually love to look at catwalk attire, but to actually buy them is a whole different thing!

WHAT HAPPENED TO: Cyndi Lauper?

Then and Now

We all remember Cyndi best for her song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun back in the 80's.

For someone who was so popular in their day, you wonder what happened to them? And how did they fall out of the media spotlight?

It all started really good for her when the first album sold a massive 4.5 million copies in the USA, that included four top 5 singles.

Cyndi married in 1991 to actor David Thornton, and then went onto releasing a fourth album, that had alot of her hit singles on it.

3 years later she become pregnant, and toured with Tina Turner for a few months as a support act.

After that she appeared on TV sitcom 'Mad About You, and did a tour with Cher in 1999.

Then she decided to venture into the film world and stared in movies 'Off and Running', Life with Mickey', and sang for the movie 'Rugrats in Paris'.

These days Cyndi enjoys being a full time mom to her kids.

ONDURA ROOFING: Stonger, Cheaper & Lower Maintenance

A roof can be very expensive, especially if you need to have it replaced after so many years.

If your looking for roofing that is going to have a much longer life with it's strong materials and low maintenance, you could look at Ondura Corrugated Roofing.

These types of roof are easy to install, and can be used not just for residential use - But for agricultural, commercial and smaller projects such as garden houses or sheds.

A massive advantage is your existing roof can be used as part of a re-roof, instead of tearing all of it off completely. This makes things a whole lot cheaper too.

You can even get environmentally friendly roofing, that still look stylish.

The roofing has had to meet building codes, and with knowing that makes me trust the brand alot more, than just going off hearsay.

You can find out more by visiting the Ondura site direct.

DONATELLA VERSACE'S DOUBLE


I always think everyone must have a body double somewhere, but imagine what it is like for celebrities. Especially if your body double isn't really that flattering of you!

This Italian 'fake Donatella' lady in the picture has been recognized several times as being the real one, whilst she was sunbathing topless!

Donatella's PR team are said to be not impressed at all, and are fed up of seeing the woman in the media being portrayed as her.

Comparing the women together they do indeed look alike, but the fake Donatella's body is in a poor condition, and i'm sure you have already saw the obvious surgery enhanced 'burger bap!' breasts that don't match with the rest of her!?

CREATE YOUR OWN VACATION ONLINE

When i go on holiday i like to be able to hand select my own criteria for my travel experience like hotels, airfares, transport, event tickets etc.

At sites like LowFares.com i can do this, and pick up some cheap hotel deals along the way too.

You can build your own trip in just a few simple steps. First to select what type of trip your looking for like one way or return, which airport your travelling from and to and the dates required.

This then enables you to search and compare different airlines, so you can get the best discount airfare possible.

As well as this you can also search for various hotel vacation packages and car reservations.

This gives you to chance to organize everything from one place, making it so much more convenient.

ALEX REID CROWNED WINNER OF CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER 2010

Last night Alex Reid was crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2010, and a much deserving one i think.

For someone who went in to boos - seeing as he is going out with Katie Price and various rumours of him trying to play daddy to Katies Ex Peter Andres kids, he has managed to turn everyone around in 27 days!

I must say he was quite entertaining in the house. I just hope he can wise up now an get rid of Katie, as those cheers could turn into boo's again if he's not careful.

Host Davina told him and viewers that Katie was waiting for him backstage, but i wonder if she would have been waiting if hadn't won?

EASIER TICKET BUYING: ACheapseat.com

I love to go to different concerts, sports events and theatres.

But i find it annoying that when i phone a hotline to get some David Copperfield Tickets, i end up getting stuck on hold all the time.

These numbers i call are bound to be a premium numbers, so i thought about looking online instead.

There is a site called ACheapseat.com where you can get Adam lambert tickets and many other concert. sport and theatre events too.

I like how you can get hold of premium seating without being on the phone or standing in a queue for hours.

Plus as well as getting access to Churchill Downs Tickets, you can also get tickets that are not usually available to the general public like Masters and Super Bowl.

NUMBER 1 HATED WOMAN IN BRITAIN: Katie Price

I always think it's good fun to do polls to see what people think of certain subjects and people.

It seems Katie Price aka Jordan came out as the number 1 hated women in Britain thanks to the OnePoll voters.

This is probably to do with how she dealt with the split of her estranged husband Peter Andre, by bad mouthing him and restricting him from seeing his children.

The other unpopular stars down the list included Kerry Katona, Angelia Jolie, Cherie Blair, Peaches Geldof, Fiona Phillips, Gillian McKeith, Chantelle Houghton, Natasha Kaplinksy and Sadie Frost.

Do you agree with the OnePoll voters choice, or do you have you own number 1 hated woman in mind!?

PROTECTING OUTDOOR FURNITURE: Patio Covers

I cant even remember the amount of times i have had to replace my patio furniture.

This was because it had either weathered too much or the cushions had been soaked or damaged by critters.

Then someone suggested i should just get some Patio Furniture Covers instead. I wish i had of thought of this along time ago, as it would have saved me alot of money.

Some Patio Chair Covers i like in particular are from Empire Patio Covers. They have some pleasant designs that will tie in with your garden nicely, and maybe even enhance it a little too.

The durable and waterproof materials used are dioxin-free, meaning it's earth friendly and protects nature.

Using Patio Covers i wouldn't have to worry about my hard and soft furnishings being weather or damaged at all.

I love the fact that if it were pouring down with rain the night before and sunny the next, you can just take the covers off and sit on your furniture straight away.

BEYONCE KNOWLES' RIDERS

We always hear about outrageous celebrity demands what are known as 'Riders'. These are the celebrities terms when they are attending an event, and need to use a dressing room.

Beyonce Knowles has a few. Although probably not so extreme as some i have heard. They seem quite reasonable compared to it really.

Have a look a these below, and tell me what you think:

'juicy baked chicken... heavily seasoned with fresh garlic, season salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper", which has to be "placed in dressing room no earlier than 15-20 minutes prior to Beyoncé's arrival to ensure freshness'.

'VIP dressing room should be at a temperature of 78 degrees'.

'Because of contractual agreements, Beyoncé can only have Pepsi products. There cannot be any competitor products anywhere she or her entourage may be photographed'.

JEANS APPAREL: Practical Wear That Never Goes Out Of Fashion

When thinking about apparel that would suit everyone Jean Clothing comes to mind.

I like to think of it as a forgiving material - meaning it can suit people that are all shapes and sizes.

Plus you can wear it for all seasons. Jean trousers/jeggings are great for the winter to keep you warm, and in the summer cool to wear with a strappy top.

In fact the Jean Dresses you can get are perfect for the summer, or if your going out somewhere, that you dint want to be too dressy - but not too casual either.

You could always team a jean dress up with a belt, leggings and some smart accessories and you have an multi-use outfit for several occasions.

It's the same with jean trousers/jeggings really. I would wear mine with trainers in the day, boots for a more smarter appearance and heels if i had an evening event to go to.

Actually i don't know what i would do without my jeans. I can throw on any t-shirt or jumper with them, and it doesn't matter what colour, size or style it is as jean material will go with anything.

How about you? Are you a jean fan yourself?

BRITNEY SPEARS TO AUCTION VMA DRESS

In a bid to try and raise some money towards the Haiti earthquake crisis, Britney Spears will be auctioning off her dress she wore to the MTV VMA's back in 2008.

The bizarre thing is that Britney has had to get permission from a judge to do this, as her dad is still in control of her finances.

A two hour - yes 2 hour meeting was had with the Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner and permission was granted.

Yay for Britney! I wonder how much it will go for, for such a high profile celebrity?

THE BEST WEDDING INVITATIONS: Ready Made Or Create Your Own?

One of the things i remember when i was planning for my wedding were the wedding invitations

Maybe because this was a nightmare. I am a bit of a perfectionist you see, and like to have everything in place and how it should be.

The trouble with the invitations i saw were the ones i really liked were far too expensive, and the ones i could afford had the most awful designs i had ever seen!

Then i thought to myself why don't i just make my own? At least then i could choose my own design and layout, and make it look professional as well.

I couldn't really see me making 100 wedding invitations on my own, then a friend suggested i could try and make some on my computer.

I didn't have much joy to be honest. I mean just how much can you design on a word document and using clip art!?

Then as i was browsing the Internet for other wedding stuff i came across some sites, where you can create your own card from a choice of designs, and that is what i did instead.

If your married what sort of invitations did you use for your wedding?

ARMANI'S UNFLATTERING LUNAR COLLECTION

Fashion seems to be getting more and more bizarre all the time, and designers Armani are the latest to present us with a dress that no one will probably ever wear!

The dress is part of their Lunar Inspired Wear collection with Outer Space as the theme.

For one if you wore this you may as well just wear your bra and pants! And two a cape on a dress that looks like your coming out of an oyster shell. Say no more!

REMEMBERING PUNK ROCK BAND: THE GREEN POLICE

There are lots of different types of music and artists around these days, but there seems to be a rarity for garage/punk rock bands.

You probably remember USA 80's band from Oklahoma called the Green Police ?

There were 4 band members in total that including vocalist Duss Rosencutter who also played the guitar.

Then there was Drummer Evan Campbell, Bass player Chris Pixley and Guitarist Drew 'The Screw'.

To describe their songs i would say that they had a fast paced heavy instrument playing vibe with vocals to match. Imagine distorted guitars and complex bass riffs.

You can actually see samples of their music and browse pictures from on their page on Social Networking Site My Space, that has been active since 2006.

Such songs include Rumblin Stumblin, Bread and Butter and the fun Beer Song, which is my favourite!

They got their inspiration from 60's style garage/surf music, and from the bands The Buzzcocks and X.

Do you remember the Green Police yourself? If so there is always a member of the band that someone likes - which one was yours?

If you don't as such you can always look at the picture above and tell me just for fun!

THE END OF BRANGELINA: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Split Up

After many rumours surrounding their rocky relationship, high profile actor couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have signed papers for a legal separation after 5 years together.

They never married, but have managed to come to an amicable agreement. This includes joint custody of their 6 children, and to keep all their own money they have earned (around $100m/£62m each)

The children will live with Angelina. 3 are their own biological children and 3 adopted, which interesting have Jolie-Pitt as their surname.

Although no official statement has been made as to the reasons as yet - rumours around the split suggest that Brad wanted Angelina to get psychiatric help, that she suffered from depression since her mother died, she had attempted suicide and to do her significant weight loss.

As we all love a bit of gossip it has also been reported also that Brad Pitt and his ex wife Jennifer Anniston met backstage at the Haiti telethon in Los Angeles.

A reunion on the cards perhaps?, or maybe it's just the media making something small into a huge story? We shall see ...

WEIRD ALEXANDER MCQUEEN FASHION

There are some strange outfits that pop up on the catwalk, and these Alexander McQueen ones are just that!

This collection included masks, scarfs and balaclava accessories for the winter season.

It all looks a bit weird and futuristic to me. Like there is a virus and everyone has to cover their faces!

I don't think i will be seeing anyone around fashionably wearing these do you? Unless you like them yourself of course!?

STRANGE RECORD BREAKING ATTEMPT: Painting A Car In Nail varnish

It's funny what you can actually do these days to break a world record. It can be absolutely anything!

This guy David is set to paint his Fiat 500 car with pink nail varnish! He says he expects to use over 200 bottles altogether.

He is going to need alot of nail varnish remover bottles to get that off after! And why the colour pink?

He is currently carrying out his task over time, so i cant tell you if he did it as yet. I'm sure he will, but can you see anyone wanting to beat his record?

NEED HAIRSTYLE & MAKE UP TIPS?

I love that as women we are able to do loads of different Hairstyles and makeup for different occasions.

I like to experiment, but sometimes i struggle to know which styles to do. My friend is the same, as she has chin length hair, so she would need Short Hairstyles .

I say i struggle because i only know how to straighten and do my hair in a pony tail, that's about it!

It's so cool to know that you can put your hair up in a certain way, to create a whole different look, and use styles like waves, crimping, knotting, plaiting, buns or just a poker straight classy look.

But i'ts good to see that you can find various tips and resources across the Internet. Most of them have a step by step process with pictures.

It's the same with my make up really. I used to know just how to put a plain colour on my eyelid and that was it.

I had no idea about highlighting, two tone colouring and defining certain areas etc, until i started reading up on various make up tips and articles.

It really makes a different when you know what your doing.

What hairstyle and makeup look do you love best? And do you have any tips of your own to share?

AMBER ROSE'S REVEALING DRESS

Catwalk model Amber Rose is definitely not the shy type as you can see here!

I know models probably have to wear some freaky stuff on the catwalk, but this dress seems a bit too risque to me. And leaves very little to the imagination.

She may as well have just wore a long tie! Wow, i would keep your coat closed Amber because i'm sure your feeling the cold!

CHANEL TRANSFER TATTOOS

Daisy Lowe shows off her transfer

If you don't fancy having a tattoo but want to dabble a bit, Chanel have created some cool fashionable transfers that you could wear.

I'm assuming they are a bit better and long lasting than the transfers you can usually get from bubble gum wrappers and fairground machines!

I think its quite cool, and you can just wash it off later. But they do cost from £49 for a set, which is probably about the same price an typical tattoo would cost you anyway.

Would you pay that for something that's not permanent, or do you prefer the real thing?
