The most popular name on facebook.com nowadays is Michael Phelps, he is outrunning Miley Cirus and other hot celebrity names.
Eight gold medals in one Olympics this is beating records, as Wall Street Journal proclaims Phelps a new legend.
And of course, the most popular guy in sports is now ought to become rich with all the business proposals he gets after winning performance in LZR Lazer Speedo swimsuit.
“What is the value of eight golds in Beijing before a prime-time audience in the U.S?” WSJ asked Peter Carlisle, Phelps’ agent “I’d say $100 million over the course of his lifetime.”
Carlisle confessed that Phelps has been getting about 50 offers a day including bubblehead dolls, acrylic paintings, commemorative coins, car rims, tuxedos, and dog food ideas. The last one was pitched, given Mr. Phelps’s well-known love for his British bulldog, Herman.
Phelps was even offered things like all the pizza he could eat for a year, or free dental work. And certain female celebrities and athletes wanted an introduction from Mr. Carlisle. Perhaps, one of them was Paris Hilton? We all know her love of athletes. Remember the rumors how she was all over Cristiano Ronaldo in Villa LA hot spot?
Moreover, Phelps is sponsored by Hilton Hotels.
Now, the question is, will World record breaker make it as big as Tiger Woods? “They’re going to have to figure out a way pretty quickly to make him relevant on land,” says Mr. Swangard, the Oregon sports-marketing professor.
Michael Phelps won his record eighth gold medal Sunday at the Beijing Olympics as a member of the victorious U.S. 400-meter medley relay team, breaking a tie with Mark Spitz for most golds in single Olympics.
As soon as Gwen Stefani finally pops out baby #2, she’s got a job offer! It seems like ex No Doubt singer – turned- designer has been pregnant forever.
Robin Antin, creator of the Pussycat Dolls super band, says she would love to have Gwen perform with the girls at her brand new club Apple Lounge grand opening. Robin says:
I hope so, I really do. I love Gwen. She’s the ultimate Pussycat Doll!”
This wouldn’t be the first time for Gwen to take the stage with the Dolls. She first performed with them back in 2000 at the Viper Room. Robin says she’s really anxious for Gwen to have her baby so she can reunite with them!
It should be any day now.
What will PCD and Gwen perform together? Gwen’s ‘Hollaback’ mixed with ‘Buttons’, may be?
Legendary star has postponed her big party with friends until the end of the month. She celebrated her 50th birthday with a Kabbalah blessing and a night out in London.
Guy is said to have commissioned top graffiti artist Banksy to create a $900,000 portrait of his wife to mark her milestone birthday.
Guinness records show that to date, the star has sold nearly 120 million albums and 40 million singles worldwide, more than any other female solo artist in history.
Seems like the divorce rumors were untrue, as the couple looks happy and attached to each other.
Madonna has less than a week until the start of her world tour!
Dita Von Teese launches a stunning collection of retro underwear for Wonderbra. Von Teese said the Wonderbra range was inspired by the glamour of the 40s and 50s.
“I love it when you can go about your daily business with the knowledge that you have a little secret of your own on underneath,” she said.
“Lingerie shouldn’t be something you just put on for your lover; you should do it for you.”
“It’s not about seducing men, it’s about embracing womanhood.”
One bra-bottom combo features a magnetic clip, “making daring stripteases a cinch”, according to Wonderbra.
Von Teese, whose retro chic brings to mind old school glamour of stars such as Ava Gardner and Betty Grable, firmly refuses to be careless about her appearance.
I know the picture the paparazzi want is me coming out of Starbucks in jeans with my hair all messy, but that’s just not going to happen. I just think that when you take a minute to look your best, you get what you want. And, I pretty much get what I want.”
She laughs.
Miss Von Tees has entertained the likes of Jade Jagger and the Marquess of Bath’s son Ceawlin, modelled for Jean Paul Gaultier and Marc Jacobs. Marilyn Manson’s ex wife’s elaborate routines have featured her riding crystal horses or dancing with pink feathers.
Oh, and remember her famous act gyrating inside a giant martini glass caused such a stir!!!
Though her body (especially her super slim waist) clearly helped her make her fortune, it was her head for business that transformed her from underground star to worldwide phenomenon.
Burlesque had fallen asleep until Dita’s skill updated the style for the modern audience.
The limited edition “The Science of Sexy” lingerie collection goes on sale on September 23. Go HERE
Mother-of-six and Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie, 33, also needs a piece of advice now and then. Instead of turning for help to her partner Brad Pitt or maybe call her farther Jon Voight, Angie calls her porn star friend Tera Patrick. According to reports, Jolie has been asking her for advice on playing Catwoman in the new Batman film.
The two are said to be good friends. “Tera and Angelina are friends and keep in touch via email. After seeing reports that she’ll land the lead role, Angelina asked Tera what she thought. Tera had such insights into the role that Angelina cracked, ‘You should do it’,” a source told the New York Post.
She’s incredible, she’s fantastic, she’s unpredictable, and she’s Madonna. She’s “the Icon, the Artist, the Woman” as Givenchy designer Ricardo Tisci has once said. And today this fantastic woman turns 50.
Madonna is often dubbed as “The Queen of Pop” and “one of the greatest pop acts of all time.” she’s been with us since 1982 and she fortunately is no way tending to retire. Madonna is ranked by the Recording Industry Association of America as the best-selling female rock artist of the twentieth century.
Guinness World Records list her as the world’s most successful female recording artist of all time and the top-earning female singer in the world, having sold over 200 million records worldwide. In March 2008 she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
So Material Girl knows how to reach her goals. She came to NY having just some bucks in her pocket and pursued a triumphant career as a singer, songwriter, dancer, record producer, film producer, film director, fashion designer, author, and actress.
All themes from sex to war, from religion to anarchy are represented in her multiple projects.
Madonna is the Mother, the Artist, and the Diva. She’s great and she’ll always be a star.
Jonas Brothers Invade New York City. It is Joe Jonas dressed like a cop for the set of The Jonas Brothers upcoming 3-D project filming in Columbus Circle. The name of the project? Nobody knows yet, leave your guess.
On Tuesday night—the day the band’s third album, A Little Bit Longer, went on sale—the trio drew a massive crowd to NYC’s SoHo Apple Store for a “secret” performance.
The hour-long set wasn’t announced publicly until Tuesday morning! Yet obsessed fans had been lined up since Monday night. While the Jonas sang ‘When You Look Me in the Eyes,’ one group of girls held a sign that proudly screamed, “Here since 4 a.m.!”
We can call this week a week of Jonasmania in NYC: the band guest-hosted stint on TRL, a Good Morning America concert that drew 15,000 eardrum-busting fans into the city’s Bryant Park, and three sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden.
That’s what Vicky Beckham must have said when deciding to make her own collection of dresses. High-end dresses, as reported.
“It will be something completely different from what I’ve ever done. I’m just putting it together at the moment, but they will be very upscale dresses and likely will start at around $1,200 retail. I’m going to be using very expensive fabrics and finishes, lots of embroideries,” the Spice Girl revealed.
Her dresses will debut at New York Fashion Week but not on the catwalk, as it could be expected, but during special appointments for top buyers and editors arranged by Victoria Beckham personally.
Is she afraid her designer innovations could get hissed off? Does she really think people care?
Ok, let’s admit it! It’s not enough to be just an actor, or just a singer, or just a fashion designer nowadays. You gotta be multi-talented to dwell in Hollywood. That’s why most of celebs launch their own fashion lines, try their hand in, writing, painting, etc. Some of them prefer singing to all other kinds of part-time celeb activity. For some of them being in front of the camera and being in the recording studio isn’t equally successful. Anyway, this is my selected list of top 10 actors-turned-singers.
The Hollywood star, 23, released her debut album Anywhere I Lay My Head in May, 2008 and didn’t receive positive reviews from critics. Seems like Scarlett is better in acting…
How this mother of two manages to combine two careers is still a mystery to me. Paltrow’s song collection comes mostly form her film Duets (2000). Her voice is described as “pretty good,” well tastes differ.
I don’t know if many people know that besides being a good actor and a pretty handsome man, Keanu is also a bass guitarist and once even had his band Dogstar. The last Dogstar performance was in October 2002 , and they have since folded. Reeves later performed in band Becky but left due to his working schedule, but he reportedly still plays with the band sometimes.
Mommy-to-be, 40, had her debut album Everything I’ve Got In My Pocket in 2004. Though receiving more negative than positive reviews for her musical career Ms. Driver decided to please her few fans with the second album Seastories that was released in May this year. Though not really ardent about this kind of music I did like her song ‘Beloved’. Does it make me her fan?
I love this guy! He’s so cute and he manages to safe his charm through years. Bet, most women came to his concerts not as much because of his music, but because of his personality. Anyways, Bruce started his musical career back in the ’80s and managed to go all the way up till now, though these days he focuses more on politics than music.
In the ‘80s he recorded a track called ‘I Want To Be Like Marlon Brando’ under the name Rus LeRoq. In the ‘90s he fronted the Australian band 30 Odd Foot of Grunts, the only thing I know for sure about the band is that the name sucks. In 2006 he formed a new band called The Ordinary Fear Of God. Like his music?
Oh, Lindsay… no day without Lindsay news. She recorded her debut album Speak in 2004. It went platinum. She released her second album, A Little More Personal, the following year but it wasn’t as successful due to Lohan’s inability to promote it properly because of acting commitments. Lindsay’s next album is scheduled for release this year. Wonder what songs will be about? Samantha Ronson will co-write, I suppose…
And this is the song I liked. Watch ‘Rumors’ from Lindsay’s debut album Speak.
As for this Hollywood mommy, she must be good in everything she does. Remember her singing in Moulin Rouge? I must confess I was impressed, really. Though she’s too busy for singing nowadays her prior experience is worth praising. Check her song ‘Something Stupid’ featuring Robbie Williams
2 Evan McGregor
And once again about Moulin Rouge… Nicole Kidman had a wonderful partner, Ewan McGregor who turned out to have a good musical ear and a pretty good voice. He’s great, don’t you think?
And here’s No. 1 actor-turned-singer. Australian born pop princess Kylie started her career in showbiz as a child actor, alongside her sister Dannii. She starred as Charlene on Neighbours in 1986. She recorded her first single ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ in 1987. The song was so catchy and sweet that it went to No 1 in the UK. Since then Ms. Minogue is more into singing than acting, actually. But anyway, Kylie’s by far the hottest actor-turned-singer of the decade.
Here’s one of her latest videos ‘In my arms’
But actually, the best actor-turned-singer (even if only for a while) is Cameron Diaz with her “dazzling vocal styling” in My Best Friend’s Wedding episode. She kicks everyone’s ass here.
[He] passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital. No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family’s privacy continues to be respected.”
For the past three decades he made millions laugh with his oversized comic persona in films, television and comedy clubs. The Bernie Mac Show, which ran from 2001 to 2006, often poked fun of Mac’s own life and proved to be favorite and received a prestigious Peabody Award, as well as honors from the Television Critics Association (for best individual achievement in comedy).
Here is Bernie’s ticket to stardom. Watch by clicking below.
World's leading camera maker Samsung conducted this survey to find out which celebs look best on camera. Kylie Minogue, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Kate Moss, Madonna, Robbie Williams. Check out the rest, plus Robbie's hot video 'Feel'.
Horns, crystal ball, crowned skull, serpent, apple, pomegranate, pentagram, mask. It's all obviously perverse and decadent (occultism tends to breed depravity), and with things like Follow the Virgin? The Season of the Witch from Agent Provocateur.
Kate is 34 and looks as twice as hot as her young colleagues Daria Werbowy and Lara Stone. Together these three hot models do a photo shoot for W magazine. It is a total summer boom with the slogan 'School's out and the livin' is easy!'
Lindsay Lohan has finally got a job. She is back to acting. In Labor Pains her wardrobe is filled with really sexy outfits. Yet, the publishing house employee's clothes are sophisticated. In the movie she pretends to be pregnant to avoid getting fired.
Paris Fashion Week got all the fashion freaks world wide going crazy. There are few designers that have made it so very haute couture that it is off the top. Christian Lacroix's works, for instance, are more of an art, rather than just fashion.
The newly crowned Miss Universe 2008 comes from Venezuela. Dayana Mendoza is 22 years old. Miss El Salvador, Rebeca Moreno, was chosen by her peers as Miss Congeniality. The final five contestants were from Latin America and one from Russia.
If EU individual parliaments do like the idea of banning sexy ads, it might be that lots of models won't be able to do their job as faces of underwear ad campaigns. So no more seductive Wonderbra, no Victoria Secrets Angels, no more Beckham for Armani?
Did you ever provoke a fight with your guy? You love getting on his nerves because that makes him so obscure and funny – “cute” so we say. No, you’re not sadistic. Just the fact that after the make up, it feels so sweet to be the conqueror- to have the feeling of power! To feel the situation is under your control - to cause a fight and then to stop it. Isn’t it just so dramatically sweet to push the edges once in a while?
I love pushing his triggers. Some may think I’m an evil witch, but I’m simply making our relationship tempered, exciting, resolute, pert.
If you intentionally get into a fight with him – you are not sick in a head (and no, you’re not just a bitch). Scientists say that a healthy relationship is a relationship where there are arguments, and any argument needs a solution, right? That takes out our negative energy and brings us closer. read more
Once upon a time there was a little girl who was just like a real princess, but no one knew that she was a princess. She grew up and became a very successful model. She lived up on the Manhattan tower and had almost a prince like boyfriend. One day she got tired of others not seeing that princess inside her. Ruslana Korshunova killed herself. She jumped off that high evil tower.
Parable
During my journey to Tibet I was lost. It was actually the reason why I went there. I was there to try to discover my soul. I will not get into details about my journey; there is only one meeting I have to tell you about. read more
No matter how obvious it sounds most of the rules have been created long before us. By rules I mean systematized experience of previous generations, like handshakes and etiquette, and things like going for a social smoke. There is a rule that ladies go in first into any door except the elevator.
But rules are a need for the sense of stability around one. Society needs rules to forecast the effect of a cause, to have at least some confidence of the future. And this is what disappoints people. This is when they lose their confidence because things appear not the way they expected them to be. Those who were really dependent on expectations suffer from facing the world that is unpredictable, that the rules they believed in didn’t work at some turning point.
So they say that only fools learn through their own mistakes. Don’t you remember your mom telling you not to stick your tong out and put it against the metallic balcony railing when it’s freezing cold outside? Why did I skip my SPSS class with that macho from senior class? All of my friends were telling me he was a player and had nothing else in his head except for getting laid. Why do we learn things only after we go through them? This is what humans are like. read more
What do you call it when you feel something against your will? When the call of that something inside you starts ripping your self - esteem in pieces while your consciousness tells you to stop.
I never had it when I was a child.
I always felt what I wanted and I always wanted that what I felt.
Being used to getting what I want I am stuck. Stuck in the position like being lost in the desert. There’s nowhere to go. I can’t deny what I feel but I also can’t afford to feel it. It’s against my beliefs and values. Hum… fuck the beliefs. I don’t care.
No more. The human mind is such control-freak. It kills me. And if I continue it will sound like a confession to you and this is the least I want to do. read more
Inspired by “fuck” conversation last Saturday, which is a very delicate subject.
All of us, living in a fast growing temper of big cities are busy. We go to work, go to college full time, or have kids to take care of. There are plenty of things to do. When crazy week days are over we have yoga or tango classes, and shopping to do aside the chorus, french classes and getting a good sleep.
When is there time for sex?
The right answer would be - there is always time for sex. But the stress and busyness lead some couples to pencil their intimacy. It is logical, simple and hot to know that your schedule after works has a mark “Ryan 8 pm”.
It is exciting to feel the anticipation, but on the other hand do we feel it is comfortable to set up our special moments with an important person for us on a basis of a scheduled task? It seems awkward to plan it, it is out of style, especially for femme-fatale like me, but even when sex is spontaneous, in every woman's head it is always planned. (wink!) read more
I got sms from a friend of mine which said “I heard you were robbed last night and the robber gave you two choices: you either had to give him your phone or suck his dick… I see you still got your phone…”
I thought that was stupid but hilarious and sent it to another friend of mine. He didn’t reply and I totally forgot about it. Well, I had to call him up for some business this morning and as he answered the phone he told me he was robbed last night. read more
I remember one rainy morning when I was sitting on the backseat of my Mercedes. My driver picked me up earlier than the usual. I wasn’t mad at him, no. I thought it was great so I could get to the office earlier than the usual. But when I got into the car I asked him if we could drive around for a bit. I like rain. I wanted to go to the park and have a cup of espresso at the patio outside the café on the bridge.
I asked him to wait for me and he walked me carrying the umbrella. I hate it cause when he does it he always sings “Under my umbrella, ella-ella-ella…” Rihanna’s song, you know. It’s cute but he makes me smile and I don’t like that. He’s my driver. That’s it. He’s supposed to take me where I want, not make me smile. read more
Preface: My last article made few men, whom I asked to read it, say it was bitchy to compare them with dogs, so this time I decided to distinguish women into a few different groups. I got the idea from a friend of mine who I think is more or less an expert in women. Sorry girls if you will find yourself offended when realizing this is who you can be sometimes.
Woman has always been a mystery to men. It is difficult to predict the way she will act in a certain situation. Whether she will through a scandal and tell all the girls, or will she keep it low. May be it will clear few things up and will surely make you smile. read more
Men - hunting is a very special elite kind of sport among women. Even golf and horse riding lose their pathos and sophistication next to it. In this hunt there are three simple elements: “v” – victim, “w” – woman and the most important one – “d” – desire.
This kind of activity keeps you in a good shape and helps you stay in a positive frame of mind for many years. But being a real Venus and Artemis at the same time is hard work.
Factors, such as weak self - restrain and lack of knowledge of the way to handle the male kind may become more complex when completing the mission. But nevertheless, it is time to start the season. read more
April 1st was packed at The Pure club inside The Caesar’s Palace. Aoki’s boisterous beats kept the dance floor pumping all night long. I would say its one of the hottest bashes in Las Vegas.
Last time I was there was for K-Fed’s birthday party on March, 21st. He got fucking drunk! That night I changed my mind on what I thought of him. I thought he was a little better than that. Sorry, won’t tell you the details… read more
