Women Diary <![CDATA[Family Believes Amy Winehouse Died from Alcohol Withdrawal]]> http://www.womendiary.net/?p=3140 2011-09-10T03:12:52Z 2011-07-30T07:39:19Z Amy Winehouse DiedThe cause of Amy Winehouse’s death isn’t yet known as the toxicology report could take weeks to complete. However, according to police there was no paraphernalia or sign of drugs in her Camden home. While sources told Britain’s Sun newspaper that at her last night she had seen a doctor for regular checkups of her battle with addiction and the doctor claimed there is nothing wrong with her. She was even strong enough to play a drum kit loudly that night that the neighbors complained.

As there was no medical explanation yet regarding her death, according to People, Winehouse’s family had stated that she died from alcohol withdrawal.
A source close to the family revealed that Winehouse has quitted drinking cold turkey within the past month and such condition sent a state of shock to her body.

Mitch Winehouse, Amy’s father, had also told the mourners at her funeral that his daughter had ignored doctors’ orders to gradually stop consuming alcohol to avoid the withdrawal symptoms.

Regardless her family speculations, Dr. Drew from ‘Celebrity Rehab’ disagreed with the theory. He said that the condition may kill the person gradually that first you will get really really sick, cease, and become encephalopathic and confused while your heart becomes erratic. So it’s not like the person just dropped dead instantly.

As the autopsy, which took place at the St. Pancras Mortuary, London,
has not established the cause of death yet, reports stated that the results are expected in two or four weeks after further toxicology tests.

Winehouse’s close friend and collaborator Mark Ronson accompanied by Dave McCabe (the writer of ‘Valerie’), held tribute concert on July 27 at the Old Royal Naval College in London,
to pay homage to the friend whom he thinks was a genius and special. In the concert, he even told the crowd that Winehouse is “my sister, wherever she is.”

The lives of celebrities who have died alcohol-related deaths could have been saved if only they were brought to any center for helping alcoholics in time.

“Crystal lied about our relationship on Howard Stern,” said Hugh Hefner via Twitter, “but I don’t know why.”

In the message which he wrote on Tuesday night, Hef seemed to give out a hint that his “two second” ability is not the case of why their relationship ended. He added, “Maybe a new boyfriend?” – the message which he later removed from his account.

He claimed that it was not the only lie Harris brought out to the public. To another follower on Twitter, the 85 year old Playboy founder said that Harris convinced him that she adored him and that was her first lie.

Apart from feeling insulted, Hef also said that he had sympathy for Harris, who often spotted to be closed with Jordan McGraw, her songwriter best friend.
Hef stated that he felt sorry for the 25 year old model and that she seemed lost.

In spite of all, Hef still insisted he is “pro-Crystal,” and instead of living in grieve, he said that he is now happy to be in a better place with his new girlfriends, Anna Sophia Berglund and Shera Bechard.
But he also confirmed his true feeling for Harris when they were still in a relationship, never even once he had said that he didn’t love her.

He admitted that he did say “I missed a bullet” to ETonline.com when the Playmate left him, but he confirmed that it didn’t mean he didn’t love her, he meant that he realized she didn’t love him.

Several comments are coming from viewers on People.com regarding both Hef and Harris’s statements about one another. Many of them seem to have sympathy for Hef, and on the other hand cast insults on Harris that she perhaps has to stay with the label ‘low class’ for the time being.

Women Diary <![CDATA[Crystal Harris Reveals Her Sex Life with Hugh Hefner in a Radio Show]]> http://www.womendiary.net/?p=3133 2011-07-29T09:02:03Z 2011-07-29T09:02:03Z Crystal Harris HefnerAfter cancelling the wedding five days before the set date, Crystal Harris is now moving on from her ex-fiancé Hugh Hefner. However, it seems like she wants to take a few parting shots at the 85 year-old Playboy founder by telling Sirius XM Radio about their sex life when they were still together.

In Howard Stern Show, the 24 year-old blonde said that sex with Hugh Hefner lasted “like two seconds.”
She also stated that she’s actually not turned on by Hef and they only had sex once without Hef really took off his clothes.

“I’ve never seen Hef naked,” said Harris to the host of the show.

In the interview when asked why she didn’t say no when Hef proposed, Crystal said that she loved him, loved the lifestyle at the Playboy mansion, and thought that was what she wanted right then.

Finally, when Howard Stern asked whether Hef is going to be angry about her coming to the show and say all of those things, Crystal just said: “I don’t know.”

After leaving Hef, Harris is now known to spend a great deal of time with Jordan McGraw, a songwriter and the son of Dr. Phil McGraw who is an author, psychologist, and host of the television show “Dr. Phil.”

Although both Harris and McGraw insisted that their relationship is indeed only about beautiful music, he has been reported to be the reason why she left Hef.
According to sources close to both of them, Jordan even lent her a shoulder to cry on when she fled the Playboy Mansion.

A source said to People.com, they were recently spotted out at Knave, a bar at Le Parker Meridien in New York City, together with two women who stayed for about an hour.
The source said both of them looked really settled in and even seemed more and more comfortable after the two friends left.

Women Diary <![CDATA[Another Off-Engagement: Jesse James & Kat Von D]]> http://www.womendiary.net/?p=3128 2011-07-27T09:56:51Z 2011-07-27T09:56:51Z James & Kat DAnother failed relationship among celebrity couples is now arisen. This time, the storms hit the couple Kat Von D and Jesse James that they have called off their engagement and broken up.

James, the motorcycle king, and tattoo artist plus “LA Ink” star, Kat Von D were engaged in January after dating since summer last year – the same time after James’ marriage to Oscar winner actress Sandra Bullock collapsed.
The couple had been planning having a summer wedding at the same time they celebrate their one-year anniversary.

Perhaps the commuting between Los Angeles and Austin, Texas seemed too much troubling for Von D.
LA is where she shoots her reality show, while Austin is where James lives with his kids: Chandler, Jesse, and Sunny.

To People.com, James expressed how sad he was for he really loves Von D and seemed to blame the break-up on the distance they have in between.

If James, chose to speak it up to the media, the only media Von D trusted to confirm about the split is the social network, Twitter. She simply wrote: “I am no longer w Jesse, an out of respect for him, his family and myself, thats all the info I’d like to share. Thanks for respecting that.”

Only a month ago, the couple denied about they calling off their wedding.
James claimed that they were still going and that everything between them was completely good, while Von D added that the news was the furthest thing from the truth.

As for the distance they had in between, Von D once stated that she realized that moving from Los Angeles to Austin was not an easy thing, however she used to think that having two places as home should be good enough for the time being.

Well, seems like it isn’t an easy thing at all for the couple that they are now split.

The 10 months relationship which recently had been half-sealed with an engagement, according to source to People, is now off.

Another source said that the reality TV star, Kristin Cavallari was dumped by the Chicago Bears quarterback, Jay Cutler.
The source also added that Cavallari was absolutely devastated as she couldn’t believe such thing is happening to her.

The couple began dating on August last year after being introduced by Giuliana Rancic.
And after popping the question during a spontaneous vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the couple became engaged in April, and planned to have a spring wedding. They had also spent much of their time recently in Chicago, where Cavallari had planned to move during the upcoming football season.

The source says how Cavallari had planned her dream wedding, with the date and location already set, so it is pretty obvious she is now in shock for the dream wedding she had planned have to end this way.
The couple had even completed their wedding registry, with Cavallari was really determined to be in great shape for the date.

Besides, it was only a week ago when she Tweeted about her engagement party and thanking her friends for making it a blast.
But in Saturday night, in The Beverly, an LA lounge, she was spotted to share a table with Nicky Hilton and Alessandra Ambrosio, no longer wearing her engagement ring. Perhaps that was the time where she told her friends how they called off the engagement.

None of the two confirms or denies the reports yet, as Cavallari’s rep also made no comment about it.
However, it was said that Cavallari had hinted about the split on her page Twitter last Sunday, as she wrote: “Thanks for the support. Love you guys.”

Perms have grown wonderfully fast over the past 5-10 years, but they can also cause damage if your hair is not built to face the whole perming process. So, if you are thinking of perming your hair, consider these red flags.

1. Highlighted hair
If you hair is highlighted, think twice before perming it. Perming over-bleached hair will cause some damage to the hair cuticles, and make your hair ends in frizz. Plus, you have to touch-up your highlight regularly, causing more damage.

2. Dry hair

If your hair is already dry, brittle or frizzy, a perming will cause more damage. Not that you cannot perm your hair at all, but you sure must invest your time and money on reconditioning treatments and daily treatments after perming.

3. Short layers

Short layers are great with straight hair, but if you curl the short-layered hair, you will only end up with a bulk of volume around ears and jawlines.

4. Colored hair

Perming colored hair is not as dangerous as perming highlighted hair, but it is best to wait for at least 2 or 3 weeks before and after perming to color your hair. Remember also that perming will lighten your hair color.
It is important to discuss with your hairstylist about the condition of your hair, your hair type and maintenance, and the most recent treatment that you have applied on your hair, before deciding to give your hair a perm. That way, your hairstylist will be able to determine what kind of perm your hair can handle, or whether your hair can get a perming or not. Avoid any home perming products (let professionals do it), and focus your hair treatment on keeping the frizz at bay after perming.

Here are some concealer products for those who have acne or pimples, and with affordable prices (mostly under or around $10). Plus, some of these products even have ingredients to help healing pimples. However, if you are currently using any topical acne treatments, use medicated concealers with care. Watch for dryness, peeling, flaking or skin irritation. Scale back use or switch to a non-medicated brand.

1. Revlon ColorStay Blemish Concealer
This is a medicated concealer product that contains 0.5% salicylic acid, but this is not meant for a thorough acne treatment. It covers well enough, long lasted, and will not cause breakout, but some might find the odor to be slightly peculiar (it disappears when the concealer goes dry).

2. Physicians Formula Concealer Twins, SPF 10

This concealer is a two-in-one product; the green color corrector that works in toning down redness of active pimples and red spots caused by older blemishes, and concealer to match the skin tone. The formula is hypo-allergenic, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic. It does not contain any blemish-fighting ingredients, but do not use it under the eye since it feels a bit burning.

3. Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Concealer

This product contains 0.5% salicylic acid, and shapes like a pen to make it easy for you to apply and blend the concealer. However, this product does not have many choices in color, and probably would not work well for medium to dark brown skin.

4. Almay Clear Complexion Concealer

This product contains 1.0% of salicylic acid and may heal pimples fastly, but it will also be too drying. If your skin starts to peel or becomes irritated, try using the concealer less often, or choose a different concealer with a lower percentage of salicylic acid. Again, the darker skin might feel difficulties in blending the right color.

5. Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer

This is a non-medicated concealer stick, so it can be used under the eyes to conceal dark circles. However, since the coverage is light, it may not cover very red, angry pimples.

We could note that Harris asked the similar question a couple of times during the interview which aired on Wednesday’s Good Morning America.

“Do you ever worry about your moment having passed?” and “Do you feel as if people like Kim Kardashian are overshadowing you?” are among the questions asked by Harris to the hotel heiress.

Although Hilton responded, “No, not at all” to one of those questions, she finally got up and walked out of the interview after looking in the direction of her publicist in a shocked-manner.
She later snapped at her publicist and said that she didn’t want the interview being used.

Regarding the show, a friend of Kardashian said in Huffingtonpost that she laughed when finding out about the incident which involved her name on the show.
The friend even said that Kim never mentions Paris’s name and never even think about her.

Obviously Kim and her family have turn people’s attention to their reality show more than what Hilton does with hers.
Hilton’s latest reality show “The World According to Paris” was reported to have a low rating with less than 400,000 viewers.

Kim was once Hilton’s stylist before she is becoming as famous as she is now. So it is pretty clear that there’s a jealousy in Paris’s side as told by Jonathan Cheban,
“The Spin Crowd” star and Kim’s best friend, who thinks that Kim is now bigger than movie stars.

Another friend of Kim, Brittany Gastineau also said that it was really sad that Hilton can’t be happy for a one-time friend,
she also added that Hilton should realize what goes around comes around, and that there is enough success to go around for everyone so she doesn’t have to walk off like a child.

Apparently, when everyone else think that’s the usual controversial performance of Gaga, the legendary Bette Midler was about to say ‘that-style-is-mine’.

As if confronting the Gaga herself, Midler claimed via Twitter that she had performed the mermaid in a wheelchair style for millions of people
and that many of those audiences are still alive by now although she isn’t sure if Gaga knew anything about it.

Midler also recommended Gaga to see her mermaid performance on Youtube as proof.
And indeed, there was a video which seem to be taken in the 1980s where Midler sang ‘New York, New York’ on a wheelchair in a blue mermaid costume.

Claiming the mermaid style is truly hers, the singing comedian then twitted: “You can keep the meat dress and the firecracker tits – mermaid’s mine.”

Was it one of Midler’s joke? Or was she really angry about it? According to Midler’s friend as told in Huffingtonpost, she was fed up with the younger stars who rise by stealing her act. She regretted for not saying a word in the early 80s when Madonna replaced her as the queen of vulgar while she never gets any credit from her.

When asked about her stealing action, Gaga told Access Hollywood she had no idea that Midler did that act, but she admitted that she is a huge fan of Bette Midler.
However, she took the bright side out of it by saying: “I think it’s great. Obviously I feel connected to women in theater and women from the past.”

She said she used the wheelchair only because she couldn’t hop around in the mermaid tail dress, but she really thinks that Midler is the most brilliant and incredible performers.

As both Midler and Gaga attend the upcoming Emmy awards soon, Midler then said that they will drink over the matter at the event in September and added: “Fabulous mermaids can co-exist!”

Odom was in New York for a cousin’s funeral last Thursday, when the accident happened in Jamaica, Queens. He was the passenger in the backseat of the car which struck a motorcycle, which then hit a 15-year-old boy who was a pedestrian.

The teen was later rushed to a Elmhurst Hospital for surgery but could not survive that he was then reported to die on Monday by New York’s Daily News.

Expressing his sympathy to the death of the boy, whose name has not been reported, Odom sent a message via Twitter, thanking the fans for their support and prayers, and also said that his thoughts and prayers are with the young boy’s family.

Following her husband, Kardashian later added also via Twitter that her heart and soul goes out to everyone in pain from any suffering. “Pray 4 all of the angels surrounding us constantly may our spirits stay strong,” she twitted.

She also quoted a Bible verse from 1 Peter 4:8-9 to spiritually strengthen those who were suffering by the accidents and the loss of the boy, asking them not to worry about tomorrow because each day has the trouble of its own.

But well, who can stop criticism made by rude people who perhaps never like the Kardashian family? Apparently some of those people sent some messages to Khloe’s site which seem to judge both her and her husband.
Khloe then wrote to those senseless people, telling them to stop judging other people’s lives that they know nothing about, and explained that she and her husband were in New York, attending a family funeral. Lastly she added, “Senseless violence is disgusting!!”

According to Tony Zumbado, a photographer selected by the jail to witness her freedom, Anthony was smiling and looked glad to be out of the jail.

However, several protesters outside the jail didn’t seem happy with her release. Some called her a baby killer, and some other cussing her to rot in hell for killing her daughter. There were more than 300 people formed outside the jail that the police on horseback must maintain the angry crowd’s control.

With $537.68 – the remaining money in her inmate account – given to her, the police escorted her into a gray SUV and drove her off into the hot and humid Florida night.

The case of Anthony killing her daughter Caylee has attracted the public’s attention for three years – the same length of time she spent in jail. Casey Anthony was arrested for trying and acquitting of murdering the girl.

The not guilty verdict however, has been highly unpopular with the public. Especially since that means she was only being punished for lying to law enforcement, and the length of her punishment was considered as just minimal compared to what she did. Totally, she spent 997 days in the Orange County , Fla. Jail while awaiting her trial.

Although she is now free, Anthony is not yet free from legal troubles as she faces a defamation lawsuit and must appear at an Orlando law firm in October. The lawsuit was regarding the story Anthony made up that a nanny named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzales had kidnapped the 2-year-old-Caylee, who was later found dead. While the truth such nanny was never existed, the real person with that name filed a lawsuit against Anthony for she made her suffering damages.

The pop star couple have announced to divorce after being married for seven years, on Friday July 15.

They both said that the divorce was a very difficult decision that they have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters.

Lopez and Anthony were married in a secret yet casual ceremony in June 2004 at her Beverly Hills home, only five months away from her split to Ben Affleck. Before tying the knot, the couple had been friends for years and dated for a short while in the 1990s.

Previously, Lopez had been married to restaurateur Ojani Noa, and later divorced in 1998, then she was married for only nine months to her backing dancer Cris Judd whom she had been dating since 2001 to 2003.

Anthony was also married to former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres, and from the wedding he has two sons Cristian and Ryan, who are ten and seven years old.

From their marriage, Anthony and Lopez have two children, the twin Max and Emme, who are now three years old.
The twins made them renewed their wedding vows in 2008, and they reaffirmed their love for one another again last year on June 5 to mark their sixth anniversary which was celebrated. While back in February this year, Lopez made a statement that Anthony wanted more kids together.

The only clue the reporters might have noticed regarding the divorce is perhaps last week in Los Angeles, when Lopez, instead of taking her husband to the event, BAFTA Brits which was also attended by William and Kate, decided to take her mother to meet the royal couple.

In their statement the couple added, “It is a painful time for all involved and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time.”

The couple opts for the name Harper Seven instead of the name which resembles the teen pop star.

The family is now spending a quiet time together after the baby was born last Sunday morning in L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. According to People, the baby weighs 7 lbs and 10 oz. and was born in the seventh hour in the seventh month and on the seventh day of the week. Well that explains the name ‘Seven’ pretty much. Moreover, according to the sports fans, seven was David’s jersey number when he was still with the Manchester United and the English national team.

So, how about ‘Harper’? According to People, it is an old English name Victoria has always loved. Another reason for ‘Seven’ as the middle name, is because they believe it is a very lucky spiritual number. Well, Harper is one lucky baby girl to have a famous athlete and former Spice Girl member as parents. As for David and Vic, they consider her a blessing for being the first baby girl in the family.

Regarding numbers, the Irish bookmaking firm of Paddy Power has given odds of 100:1 on whether Harper will be following her dad’s footsteps in becoming a soccer player. According to the oddness, that was her chance on being the member of England Women’s team. While considering her mother, the ex-singer who turns her full attention in fashion, the chances of Harper becoming like her mother is 16:1.

Will Harper become a future fashionista then? Well, her mom might have started the path as she has had a pink-themed baby shower in May.

Women Diary <![CDATA[How to Even Out the Skin Tone]]> http://www.womendiary.net/?p=3077 2011-07-12T00:43:05Z 2011-07-12T00:43:05Z How Out Skin ToneOne key to have a flawless look on your face is not a good deal of makeup, but even skin tone. Getting your skin tone right is the important part of your daily makeup routine (and I am not talking about instant skin whitening cream), but make you look like you do not wear makeup at all. Here are some tips to even out your skin tone.

1. Exfoliate
We know that exfoliation is good for getting rid of dead skin cells that are mucking up the surface of the skin, but we often forget to make it our regular skin care routine. Dead skin cell built up can make your skin look duller and older; plus, your foundation will not cover well, and moisturizer will not properly soak in.

2. Prepare skin adequately

Apply makeup primer with SPF to make your skin plump; plumped skin makes foundation and tinted moisturizer glide easily. If you do not have primer, moisturizer with SPF would do.

3. Apply good foundation
Good foundation or tinted moisturizer is the one that blends perfectly with your skin (though tinted moisturizer tends to give sheer appearance). Apply only on the areas that need it most, usually along the nose and on the cheeks and chin.

4. Cover up under eye circles, blemishes, and spots

A few dots of concealer are enough to cover up bluish color many women have under their eyes, as well as blemishes and spots. For cover up under eye circles, pat the concealer evenly instead of rubbing it.

5. Bring back some color

When an even skin tone has been achieved, some colors are great to add the lustre. Use bronzer, a creamy blush or both. Apply bronzing powder with a big fluffy brush on all the spots the sun naturally hits: forehead, cheeks and nose. Follow with a creamy blush on the apple of your cheeks.

When you have finished, you can continue to the final step by applying powder, although you will see that your skin does not need any additional makeup anymore.
Even just a bit of mascara and a hint of gloss is enough for most women to look fantastic.

Women Diary <![CDATA[Andrej Pejic’s The Double Act Model]]> http://www.womendiary.net/?p=3074 2011-07-11T03:06:16Z 2011-07-11T03:06:16Z Andrej Pejic’s ModelFrom the name, everyone may have realized that we are going to talk about a male model. But considering his long blonde hair, slender build and delicate features, who would have guessed that he is actually a male supermodel? He even models for both ladies and men’s collection on the same catwalk of a Sao Paulo Show.

At Sao Paulo Fashion Week, the 19-year-old Andrej Pejic appeared for the collections of a Brazilian designer, Lino Villaventura. He wore a white shirt and black high-waisted baggy trousers with a single suspender that looked like a tie when he first stepped out on the catwalk. To add a pirate-inspired look, he wore a headdress falling over one eye and completed the male fashion look with a velvet jacket and polished pointed boots.

But that was only the start, as for the show’s finale, the Serbian-born beauty was completely transformed as female when he appeared in a pleated pewter-colored evening gown, wearing heels on his feet, and hair still pulled back but with a different headdress. To make him ‘more women-like’ his lips was dabbed with a berry-hued lip stain.

Prior to the show, Pejic made headlines when he ranked 98th in FHM magazine’s list of the world’s sexiest women. He was even predicted to be one of Victoria’s Secret Model one day. But long before that, Pejic who grew up in Australia used to work in McDonalds. He was found during work at the age of 17, and later appeared in high-profile shows for Givenchy and Jean Paul Gaultier.

Pejic admitted in an interview early this year that his condition made him feel like more of a woman sometimes, while at other times he feels male. However, it no longer bothers him if people think of him as a woman. “I feel fine about it… I don’t consider my looks unusual,” said the androgynous model who aspires to appear in Playboy one day.

As reported by CNN, her death was confirmed by Elaine Didier, the director of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum, but the cause of death has not been reported. According to a family member, Ford passed away on Friday evening with family at her bedside.

Ford served as the First Lady during the presidency of her husband, Gerald R. Ford in 1974 – 1977. In 1982, she established the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage, California for she used to suffer from alcohol addiction and medication which was prescribed to her in the early 1960s for a pinched nerve.

The center she established became famous as it was known to treat celebrities who struggled from addictions and emotional issues. Ozzy Osbourne, Liz Taylor, Stevie Nicks, Kelsey Grammer, and Lindsay Lohan are among the celebrity clients who had been treated in the rehab center.

Ford was also a breast cancer survivor, who underwent a mastectomy in 1974, and later became one of the earliest advocates for breast cancer awareness.

Her death leaves her four children, named Michael, Jack, Steven and Susan, including seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The former President Ford also died at the age of 93 years old, on December 26, 2006.

She was admired by the former California First Lady, Maria Shriver, who is also a friend of her daughter Susan. Shriver said that she was a courageous pioneer, a groundbreaking First Lady, and a forceful advocate for anyone who suffers from addiction or breast cancer. While the current President, Barrack Obama stated that she was a powerful advocate for women’s health and women’s rights, because she helped reduce the social stigma surrounding addiction and inspired thousands to seek much-needed treatment even after she left the White House.

It is wonderful to see how the name of one great woman has become synonymous with helping people through alcohol addiction recovery programs and other forms of addiction treatment.

Aniston said that the movie was a beautiful human story about a couple breaking up – the topic as well as issue which she was slightly familiar with. She made a statement about the movie during her chat with James Lipton in “Inside the Actor’s Studio”, that when accepting the role she honestly felt that it would be a great way to sort of exorcise some of the experience. She also confessed that the producers of the movie were first hesitant about adding her to the lineup considering the similarity of the movie story with her personal experience. However, she insisted that it would not disrupt her ability to play the role.

“I was like, ‘Why not?’ Turn the page, let’s move on,” she said.
As for the role itself, she claimed: “I enjoyed it! You’d think otherwise.” She even admitted to Lipton in the interview which will be aired on Monday, July 11, that her romantic heartache made the role “easier” to do.

Aniston was married to Pitt for five years.
After the divorce, Pitt later chose to tie the knot with his “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” co-star, Angelina Jolie, while Aniston has recently reported to found love again with Justin Theroux. They have been seen together a couple times – the latest one is in a Hollywood event where Aniston got his hand and feet imprinted at a ceremony outside the iconic Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

The actress is now promoting her latest movie, “Horrible Bosses”, in which she plays as a boss who harasses her assistant, played by Charlie Day.
The movie which will hit the theatre this Friday is also starred by Collin Farrell, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, and Kevin Spacey.

The critic would have likely come after a recent interaction she had with a young gay man who was in the military. The guy told her that America’s fight for equality has given him hope, and to express his grateful for Gaga’s song “Born This Way”, he gave her his service jacket.

Knowing that the incident had raised claims about her records selling, Gaga said that it was one of the most ridiculous statements a person made about her. “My love for my gay fans is just pure, authentic love for them as supporters of me from the beginning, and me feeling connected to their struggles as someone who is a part of their fight,” she told The Advocate magazine. She also said to PopEater that the top thing she thinks about every day other than her fans, loving the music, and her family being healthy, is social justice and equality. And that was the main theme of her latest song.

She stated about her song that it is not about just being born in one moment, but about being reborn over and over again until you finally become that unique and special person inside of you who can bravely and surely ready to take on the world. “And I was born this way. And that’s who I am,” said the pop star. “The song is meant to be liberating not only from an individual perspective but from a creative perspective,” added Gaga who admitted that she considers herself as a member of the LGBT community.

Gaga was recently promoting her “Born This Way” album in Taiwan, where her fans there commemorated July 3 as ‘Lady Gaga Day’. When she arrived in Taichung, the Mayor of the city Jason Hu presented her a key which symbolized the key to Taichung city. She also received her self-portrait oil painting which was made by the famous local artist named Chen Hua.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the City Hall to attend a ceremony honoring Canada’s Royal 22nd Regiment. Knowing the couple will be in the area, Cheater, a landscape gardener, went there with her 2 year old daughter.

As Kate took the bouquet handed by her daughter, she told Cheater that he has a beautiful daughter and laid her hand on the youngster’s head and smiled at her. Cheater later told the reporters that he said to Kate, he wished her and William well with starting their own family, which the Duchess later replied, “Yes, I hope to.”

Kate was talking outside the City Hall at that time, where her husband Prince William had delivered a short speech entirely in French. However not everyone in the city welcomed the royal couple. As they made their way through the streets of Old Quebec, their motorcade was greeted by about 200 protesters carrying the Quebec Flag and signs in French that translated as “the king is me” as reported by People.com.

Being about 100 feet away from the protesters, both Kate and William didn’t pay attention to them and waved to the other hundreds of people that lined the streets. Among the people, there were some tourists who were visiting from outside of Canada, two of them were Jenny Chin, from New York, and Sanchita Dhond from Ohio. Chin said that she was there as tourist who wishes to see the royal couple, while Dhond admitted that she made a trip to Quebec only a few moments before knowing that William and Kate were visiting the city for she wishes to see them in flesh, rather than on TV.

The house arrest ended on June 29 – a good reason for paparazzi to get into action and capture the starlet’s latest activities. Her first night out had already triggered their frenzy anyway, and this is perhaps the reason why LiLo opted for a low-key birthday celebration rather than a high-profile fete.

LiLo stepped out to celebrate her 25th birthday in Malibu, California on Saturday night, July 2 wearing a dazzling white mini dress and baby pink peep toe heels. The “Georgia Rule” actress chose to spend birthday dinner in Geoffrey’s restaurant, a popular eatery situated on the Pacific coastline, with her younger sister, Ali, and a few friends. According to Celebrity-Gossip, the birthday meal was just what the doctor had ordered her to have. As for presents, she got one earlier in the day from the law – a ticket on her black Cadillac Escalade’s windshield placed by a parking enforcement officer for parking her SUV illegally in an alley outside her Venice home. And this incident made a nice gift for paparazzi that pictures of the officer putting the ticket were snapped up and can be seen over the internet.

The day after her birthday, LiLo appeared to continue enjoying her freedom from house arrest by having a trip to the beach at Paradise Cove in Malibu on Sunday, July 3. She was seen with her brother, Michael Jr., and sister, Ali, and a few friends. Wearing a cute little speckled black dress and a camera strapped around the neck, the “Mean Girls” star was seen covering her face with a baseball cap a couple of times.

About her low-key birthday celebration, her father Michael Lohan told the press that LiLo opted to stay in California instead of coming to New York because she has community service and wanted to concentrate on that. Lastly he added that his daughter was doing really, really, really well.

Women Diary <![CDATA[Linda Evangelista’s Son is Fathered by Salma Hayek’s Husband]]> http://www.womendiary.net/?p=3045 2011-07-03T10:28:50Z 2011-07-03T10:28:50Z Linda Evangelista’s SonLinda Evangelista may have refused to reveal the biological father of her 4-year-old boy, Augustin James for a couple of times. But according to the news recently reported by NYPost, it was the billionaire Frenchman Francois-Henri Pinault, who is also the husband of actress Salma Hayek.

The supermodel’s rep denied Pinault’s paternity in October 2007 when confronted by The Post’s Page Six. However, on Thursday, June 30 Evangelista came to court with the hope of support agreement with Pinault. The Manhattan magistrate’s court action soon confirmed that Pinault is the father of both Augustin James and Valentina Paloma (his daughter from Hayek).

A year after “Augie’s” birth, the 46 year old supermodel claimed in interviews that the father of her baby was a ‘New York architect.’ Her rep at DNA Model Management, Didier Fernandez, even called that the paternity rumor of Pinault ‘untrue’ to Page Six in 2007.

No agreement was yet reached after the model’s third or fourth trip to Family Court as she left glumly without commenting to a reporter. Pinault himself was never shown up at the court, that according to his lawyer, David Aronson, his absence was due to a misunderstanding.

“We had understood that it was to be a brief, telephone conference, to bring Magistrate Troy up to date on what the status was,” explained Aronson to The Post when asked about the court.

Evangelista’s lawyer however, did not make any comment regarding the issue.

Hayek and Pinault wed in 2009, but dated since 2006. His relationship with Evangelista was presumed to be during Pinault’s off-moment with Hayek in early 2006. Before marrying Hayek, Pinault has two other children – a boy and a girl – from his previous marriage, which ended in divorce in 2004.

Both Pinault and Hayek had repeatedly insisted in interviews that Pinault has only three children – Valentina and two from his previous marriage with his first wife.

After the court, it has not been determined yet how much support Pinault will be obligated to pay for “Augie”, his child with Evangelista.

But a school-aged child’s experience is completely different from an adult who is going through the same thing. There are some adaptation processes to go through, many of them related to regular time-table, test anxiety, financial and cognitive aspects, social aspect, and so on.

1. Look for financial support or extra facilities

Women Diary <![CDATA[Has Kim Kardashian Set a Wedding Date?]]> http://www.womendiary.net/?p=3034 2011-06-30T09:34:38Z 2011-06-30T09:34:38Z Kim Set WeddingDateAccording to Popeater, the wedding date of Kim Kardashian and her basketball beau, Kris Humphries, has been set. But before we hit that point, there is one single clue of the celebration: it will be MASSIVE!

The couple (or perhaps just the bride to be) wishes to have a big wedding which is destined for TV.
It will be televised in a two-hour special on E! Television, because according to a source Kim really wants her fans to celebrate the most important day of her life with her. Well, she really didn’t kid about having a more sensational wedding than the recent royal wedding.

No news revealed yet about the specific dress the reality star is going to wear on the very day.
But considering her style, we could bet that she will want something classic but still in the style of Hollywood (Old Hollywood to be exact).

The planning of the second oldest Kardashian’s wedding is going to be very different from her sister’s previous wedding.
A family friend said to Popeater that Khloe’s wedding was insane, especially because she tied the knot after only a month of dating with Lamar Odom. That is why, the Kardashian’s Momma, Kris Jenner, wants time to plan and prepare and make sure the entire family has time to enjoy getting ready for the big event. She really intends to make sure that every detail is just perfect.

So back to the title, about the exact date, too bad that everyone related to the family has sworn to keep this a secret, including Kathie Lee Gifford of the ‘TODAY’ show, a close family friend of the Kardashians.
While refusing to reveal the exact date, Gifford only stated that she had been told a particular date.

However, according to an insider, the date that the close friends of the family are being given is toward the beginning of August.
The insider also informed that they are now looking at private estates in Los Angeles to make the guests easier to fly to attend the wedding.
