Kate Middleton See-Through Dress Up For Auction

A see-through dress that some Royal Watchers believe played a key role in bringing Kate Middleton to the attention of an admiring Prince William when the pair when college classmates will be auctioned off in London this March.

The fresh-faced future princess wore the transparent gown over black lingerie at a 2002 charity fashion show at the University of St. Andrews. The knitted lace dress was designed by Charlotte Todd, who tapped Middleton to model it at the event nearly nine years ago. Strutting her stuff at the $325-a-ticket charity show, Kate looked hot – Well, as hot as you can look in a crappy-looking slip with your knickers showing through!

It is believed that Kate was still dating fellow student Rupert Finch at the time, while William was rumoured to be romancing close friend Jecca Craig. As the story goes, it didn’t take long for William’s eyes to come out on stalks like an old-school edition of a Looney Tunes cartoon.

The pair became an item in 2004.

The piece of royal history is expected to sell for more than $12,000 when it goes under the hammer next month.

Elin Nordegren “Dancing With The Stars

There’ll be an unlikely hoofer joining the fold when the cast of the 12th season of Dancing With The Stars is announced during Monday’s season finale of The Bachelor.

Word on the Curb has it that Dancing With The Stars producers have approached Elin Nordegren, the former bride of philandering sportsman Tiger Woods, about appearing on the upcoming cycle of the show. The 31-year-old mother-of-two has been keeping a low profile since divorcing the cheating golfer last year, but is considering a gig on the popular ABC talent show, The National Enquirer revealed in its March 7 edition.

“Elin has turned down several reality TV offers, but she thinks Dancing would be a lot of fun, and she especially loves the contestants’ snazzy outfits,” a squealing spy close to Nordegren told the tabloid. “…Elin works out at home all the time, and she’s in great shape.”

Screen legend Faye Dunaway, failed politican Christine O’Donnell, and wrestler Chris Jericho are among the celebs who are also reportedly up for the new DWTS cast. The Swedish-born blonde, on the other hand, is hoping to parlay her first TV gig into a successful career abroad, according to The Enquirer.

“…Elin thinks if she does well here, she might get invited to be on the popular Swedish version of the show, Let’s Dance. Elin wants to make her own mark in the world, and she thinks Dancing might be the perfect place to start doing just that.”

Aishwarya Rai sparkles at Oscar, shimmer rules red carpet

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai added some Indian glamour to the Oscars with an on-trend shimmery number at the 83rd Academy Awards where sequins dominated the red carpet.

The 37-year-old actress sparkled in a bronze Giorgio Armani Prive gown with rows of amber sequins and beaded detail at the waist, while husband Abhishek Bachchan stuck to a traditional black tuxedo.

The actress teamed the shimmery gown with a Jimmy Choo clutch, vintage jewellery and smoky eyes.

Like Abhishek, musician A R Rahman who walked the red carpet with wife Saira, too wore a tuxedo while his partner chose a flamboyant fusion ensemble consisting of a golden sherwani and cigarette pants.

Like Saira and Ash, the shimmer trend was followed by Gwnyeth Paltrow, who wore a gold Calvin Klein number and Halle Berry who stole the show in a nude sparkling number by Marchesa.

Hilary Swank`s glistening silver Gucci column gave way to a romantic ostrich feather skirt, while the sparkling bodice of Mandy Moore`s romantic Monique L`Hullier dress appeared to have been sprayed on.

Shimmering nude was also an age-appropriate choice for 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld, nominated for her role in `True Grit`, who won a Fifties-style dress by Marchesa.

While Celine Dion, wore a full-sleeved silver column dress, Amy Adams added a pop of colour to the red carpet with a sequinned navy gown by L`Wren Scott, which she teamed with green accesories.

Other than the sparkle, another major trend was the resurgence of the red carpet favourite, voluminous red gowns.

The bustled creations worn by Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Hudson, and Sandra Bullock, were in the same traffic-stopping hue of red. Penelope Cruz too showed off her post-pregnancy bod with a sequinned red gown by L`Wren Scott.

And while black remained a popular choice, with famously eccentric British star Helena Bonham Carter opting for it, there were some surprises from Cate Blanchett who wore an lavender Givenchy Haute Couture gown with yellow embellishment, and an unusual purple-burgundy hue seen on both Natalie Portman, in Rodarte, and Scarlett Johansson in Dolce and Gabbana.

2011 Razzie Award Winners

It’s Oscars Sunday out in Hollywood, so you already know what that means: The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation announced the Dis-Honor Roll for last year’s Worst in Film at a ceremony at Hollywood’s Barnsdall Gallery Theatre this weekend!

Pregnant starlet Jessica Alba, Ashton Kutcher, and the ladies of Sex and the City 2 were among the night’s big winners — Er…perhaps we should say losers!? — at Saturday’s ceremony. But the night’s biggest Razzies went to The Last Airbender.

M. Night Shyamalan’s fantasy action film was declared the “winner” of five Razzie Awards, including Worst Picture and Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3D. (Tough break…) The movie earned nearly $320 million at the international box office when it opened last summer, but was almost universally panned by film critics. The Worst Supporting Actor trophy went to the action film’s co-star Jackson Rathbone.

Ashton Kutcher scored the Worst Actor title after turning in chuckleworthy performances in Killers and Valentine’s Day, while Jessica Alba nabbed the Worst Supporting Actress Razzie for her work in The Killer Inside Me, Little Fockers, Machete, and Valentine’s Day. The four principle stars of Sex and the City 2 — Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis — were collectively named Worst Actress at this year’s Razzies. The film also won the plastic prizes for Worst Screen Couple/Worst Screen Ensemble, and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel.

The winners were determined by ballots lodged by 657 voters in the United States and 17 foreign countries.

Vanessa Hudgens Scores New Man

Vanessa Hudgens has been seen getting cozy with her 'Journey 2: Mysterious Island' co-star Josh Hutcherson, suggesting that like her former boyfriend Zac Efron, she too may have moved on.

Vanessa , 22, was spotted with Josh, 18, at an after-party for her new release, Beastly, last week in LA, and she looked "smitten."

A source tells People magazine, "Their arms were wrapped around each other and they were really touchy together.

"They were very cute."

The two made a second public appearance together at the Independent Spirit Awards on February 26, where Josh's film, The Kids Are All Right, won for best screenplay.

"Josh walked Vanessa to the bathroom and then guided her to their seats with a hand on the small of her back," an onlooker told People.

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens split in early December, after having dated since 2006.

Efron and Hudgens were seen together last month in what was reported to be an attempted reconciliation.

Efron, 23, was seen on a night out in LA with Australian actress Teresa Palmer, 24, on February 3.

The couple watched Teresa's new film Take Me Home Tonight and followed it up with dinner at the Pink Taco.

Earlier this month, Vanessa had a butterfly inked on her neck in New York, her first tattoo.

Life goes on.

Drew Barrymore Has a New Boyfriend

Stakes are high that we are witnessing Drew Barrymore’s new romance right from the start.

The Gray Gardens star spent a good deal of last week in L.A. with art consultant Will Kopelman. First they were spotted on Monday at celebrity-haunted Joan’s on Third enjoying lunch together. Wednesday it was Beverly Hills’ E. Baldi Italian restaurant, which they left arm in arm.

Is it that they are growing fonder of being together after their previous pleasant evening at the Music Box in mid-February?

33-year-old Will Kopelman is the son of Arie Kopelman, former Chanel CEO, and a Boston University alumnus. He was known to date actresses before, having had a romantic liaison with The Event’s Sarah Roemer.

Barrymore, 36, may have gotten tired of maintaining off-and-on relationship with her boyfriend Justin Long, although in October, when talking to Harper’s Bazaar, she gushed about him, expressing intense feelings of love, respect and admiration for him.

Another habit she may be breaking is her independence – it’s not that Barrymore is afraid of being alone. During the past decade, she confessed, she sometimes had to argue herself into going out to meet up with her friends after having dinner alone for a few nights in succession.

Barrymore’s rep isn’t ready to venture a statement yet.

Aamir Khan Facial Foliage Fierce at Hrithik Roshan's Bash

Aamir Khan appeared almost incognito in his new makeover at Hrithik Roshan and wife Sussane's new interior store, 'The Charcoal Project,' launch in Andheri, Mumbai on Sunday, February 27.

Aamir's over the top, thick black moustache made him look fierce, quite the cop that he plays in his under-production film - a suspense drama directed by Reema Kagti. Besides playing the protagonist, Aamir is also the producer of the film.

Aamir arrived at the event solo and was warmly received by Hrithik and Sussane. The trio then posed for photogs.

Aamir, 45, was dressed in grey tee and beige pants.

The Fanaa star recently returned from the Berlin Film Festival after jury duty.

He is currently attending workshops for his role in the Reema Kagti film, production for which starts in March.

The film additionally stars Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji.

Colin Firth celebrates Oscar win with kisses

British star Colin Firth celebrated his Oscar win with a string of kisses — before threatening to dance on stage. The King’s Speech actor was named best actor at the 83rd Academy Awards — and promptly kissed wife Livia. Then he kissed co-star — and his wife in the movie — Helena Bonham Carter. And the kissing didn’t stop there — for when he reached the stage he also kissed presenter Sandra Bullock. Then as he began his Oscar speech, he revealed he was “experiencing stirrings” and threatened that they may turn into dance moves on the stage. But he managed to get through his two-minute speech without breaking out any moves before finishing off with: “Now if you will all excuse me I have some impulses I have to tend to backstage!” Firth looked stunned as his name was read out by Bullock for best actor. He stood for a moment on the stage looking down at his award before making his own speech. He then said: “I have a feeling my career has just peaked. My deepest thanks to academy. I am afraid I have to warn you that I am experiencing stirrings, some in the upper abdominals which are threatening to form themselves into dance moves which joyous as they may be for me, would be extremely problematic if they make it to my legs before I get off stage, so I’m going to my best to be brief with my gratitude for being on this extraordinary list of fellow nominees. They are something quite formidable and possibly the greatest honour of this. All the crew and my fellow cast members. All those that are not here and those who are, Geoffrey and Helena and Guy, who virtuosity made it very difficult to be as bad as I was planning to be and David Seidler, whose owns struggles have given so many people the benefit of his beautiful voice. And Tom Hooper whose immense courage and clear-sightedness with which he interpreted that. The men who finessed this to the screen Gareth, Emile, Xavier and of course Harvey who first took me on 20 years ago when I was a mere child sensation. All the people who have been rooting for me back home. And my very fortunate friendship with Tom Ford, who I owe a very piece of this. And to the Anglo-Italian-American-Canadian access which makes up my family. And Livia for putting up with my fleeting delusions of royalty, who I hold responsible for this and for everything that’s really good and happened since I met her. Now if you will all excuse me I have some impulses I have to tend to back stage. Thank you very much.”

Katy Perry Petrified Russell Brand Will Cheat While She’s On Tour

Trouble in Paradise already for newlyweds Russell Brand and Katy Perry?

The “Firework” lass is up to her armpits in blue wigs and fake cupcakes now that her “California Dream World Tour” is in full effect and she’s beside herself with fears that her ex-womanizing hubby is going to play up while she’s away, Star Magazine snoops spill in the March 7 issues.

Word on the Curb has it that the pair have been less than harmonious lately, with “informants types” reporting regular shouting matches between the pair, who wed in the company of lions and tigers (hold the bears…) in India last October. As the story goes, Katy’s already enlisting the guidance of a marriage counselor to help keep her relationship with the former sex and drug addict stable.

“He shouted at her on the phone when he was on the Saturday Night Live set. Russell has been wondering if he can be with one woman for the rest of his life,” whispers an informant.

“Russell and Katy will schedule visits while she’s on tour. And she plans to take most of September off, but its going to be incredibly tough,” says the source. “She’s especially afraid he’ll fall back into his bad old habits. But she believes that if they make it through her tour, they’ll last through anything.”

Rumors that they were dating started to gain traction in December 2010, when they had breakfast together at an IHOP restaurant in Philadelphia. But Gomeze alluded to her relationship with Bieber being protective. She told MTV News that she felt like a big sister to the Canadian singer.

At the start of the New Year, a bikini clad Selena Gomez was photographed kissing Bieber in St. Lucia in the Caribbean, a clear indication that there was more to their relationship than the two were ready to acknowledge.

I feel good, but if there’s a time I feel like I need to slow down, I will.” She added that choosing what to wear has become easier since falling pregnant. “I’m not as body conscious or concerned with the way I look,” she said. “It’s more about what’s going to be comfortable versus what looks flattering.

The 41-year-old actress and her husband Michael Douglas arrived at the Buckingham palace with their children Dylan and Carys for the ceremony, reported Daily Mail online.

The ‘Mask of Zorro’ star dressed for the occasion in a taupe skirt suit and a full hat complete with feathers.

Her 66-year-old husband, who recently overcame a cancer battle, was also suited and booted for the event.

The family posed together after the ceremony, with their eight-year-old daughter Carys and 11-year-old son Dylan also dressed formally for the occasion.

Kate Middleton Wows Again

Princess in the making Kate Middleton once again displayed her awesome sense of style when she and Prince William returned to their alma mater - St. Andrews University in Scotland, on February 25.

A day earlier, the lissome Kate had rocked in a khaki coat and feathered hat during her visit to Anglesey.

Visiting St. Andrews, 28-year-old William sported a navy suit with matching tie, while fiancee Kate looked regal in red, choosing a belted two-piece suit with black stockings and black clutch bag.

Not only did the suit show off Kate's amazing figure, but it matched the color of the formal dress for St. Andrews students, making her an instant hit.

She completed the look with what seems to be her favorite accessory: a pair of tall boots, always matching the color of her stockings.

As Kate looked on, William spoke movingly to a crowd of six hundred, as patron of the university's 600th appeal. He confessed, "This is a very special moment for Catherine and me. It feels like coming home."

Indeed, the couple spent much of their day visiting former haunts like their old dormitory building and strolling down memory lane with old acquaintances.

The college presented the two with an early wedding gift, a scholarship created in their honor with a value of more than one hundred thousand dollars. The scholarship will go towards the expenses of future students.

So far, the looks of Katester have been conservative, tasteful, and never OTT. Seen in this recent photograph, where she and William wave to the crowd, her outer style reflects inner confidence. But then again, if your biggest accessory is the future heir to the throne, you obviously know how to do it right!

Taylor Swift and Chord Overstreet

Taylor Swift and Glee star Chord Overstreet watched the NHL hockey game between the Minnesota Wild and the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday, February 24.

The Kings won 4-2, if that is your only concern.

Swift is on a break from her Speak Now world tour.

She has completed the first leg of the tour through countries in Asia. The second, European leg of the tour starts on March 6 in Brussels, Belgium.

The North American leg of the tour will start on May 27 in Omaha.

Chord has earlier been linked to Rumer Willis, and more recently to Glee star Naya Rivera.

He denies the dating rumors.

"The thing is, I have tons of friends I hang out with and if you get your picture taken with anyone, all of a sudden you're dating."

Bikini Irina Shayk’s Got Hairy Legs

Are people eager to drink in Irina Shayk’s beauty? Sounds as if it were a debatable question.

Hardly anyone would dare deny that the model’s appearance on the cover of the Sports Illustrated 2011 Swimsuit Issue could be anything but gorgeous. She also looked her best at the Chelsea Handler Show the other day in L.A., having turned up in a black leather jacket, a black top, a red mini-skirt and Christian Louboutin shoes, very high and very animal-looking.

While at the talk show, Shayk’s omission to bring her legs to perfection wasn’t noticed, though. But as she stepped outside, the sunlight lit up the stubble on her legs, showing them up as goldenly unshaven. The close-up displayed no close shave! And that was only minutes after she disclosed at the show that there are folks who don’t admire catching her sight.

It appears that some of her neighbors voiced complaints over seeing too much of her due to the absence of curtains in her apartment. The 25-year-old model’s story ran that two weeks ago she was stopped by the doorman who said that her neighbor had been complaining of being able to see into her apartment, there being no curtains on the windows – the complaint that brought high color to her cheeks.

What it was that the disgruntled neighbor was compelled to see (and probably went on watching) remains a mystery, but curtains were put up to help other people retain their peace of mind.

Chelsea Handler was stunned to hear that, venturing an opinion that she would have been only too glad to see the shapely model as often as she could. She said she “wouldn’t even have a problem” if it were a fat old lady.

Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend used a bed sheet to draw over the offending window, a measure Chelsea thought really unnecessary. She even advised the model to take it down again in order “to give them that entertainment.”

Kate Moss to wear John Galliano’s wedding dress

Kate Moss has chosen long-time friend John Galliano to design her wedding dress for her July nuptials.

The 37-year-old catwalk queen announced her choice of designer at London Fashion Week and praised the 50-year-old designer, revealing their relationship is based on ‘mutual admiration’.

Galliano has previously created wedding outfits for numerous stars, including Emily Blunt, Penelope Cruz and Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Deepika’s Shortest Skirt, Ever

For her item number in Dum Maaro Dum, Deepika Padukone was to wear an Anahita Adajania Shroff outfit a sexy bikini halter-top paired with the shortest skirt she’s ever designed.

Deepika was aware of this and had worked hard to get into shape so she could fit into the ensemble. However, the skirt was too short for her. The actress got it changed to shorts in stead.

A source explains the need for the change, “The skirt Anahita designed barely covered the actress’s derriere yet looked stunning on her.

During trials, she received several compliments. Director Rohan Sippy had briefed her and she understood that the song needed sexy clothes. The trouble began when she started rehearsing for the song.

The steps were difficult to do because of the skirt’s length.”

Rohan had the option to change the dance steps to make her feel comfortable in the skirt. However, Deepika insisted they keep the choreography and switch from skirt to shorts instead.

Adds the source, “She walked up to Rohan and told him there was no way she could move her legs and do the steps in the skirt.

A consensus was reached and the outfit was changed soon after. The actress ended up wearing shorts and tassels over it to look like a skirt.”

Mallika Sherawat ‘skirted’ controversy recently when her designer created an outfit that was “too sexy” for Anees Bazmee’s “family film” Thank You’s item number, Raziya Phans Gayi Gundo Mein.

Alex Pettyfer Stalking Dianna Agron

Dianna Agron’s feeling anything but Gleeful after calling it quits with beau Alex Pettyfer. The actress has reportedly checked into a Los Angeles hotel under a false name after her recent breakup with the Beastly actor turned ugly.

Alex has been a “psycho loose cannon” since the split, which saw Dianna moving out of the LA home the former couple shared, a source tells Us Weekly.

“Dianna is terrified of [Alex],” a friend squealed to the mag, noting that Alex “absolutely lost it” after getting dumped and even threatened Dianna over the phone.

Alex’s rep denies this story, but spywitnesses say he’s definitely aggro about Agron.

“On Feb. 18, according to an eyewitness, he got into a heated confrontation at a West Hollywood club with actor Sebastian Stan – furiously accusing the Black Swan star of hooking up with Agron,” Us writes.

Run while you can, Dianna!

Tonya Harding Gives Birth To Baby Boy

Shamed former figure skating champ Tonya Harding, 40, gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Feb. 19, despite reportedly spending the earliest stages of her pregnancy in a drunken stupor.

The tot — whose name has not been revealed — is the first child for Harding and her husband, heating and air conditioning repairman Joseph Price, 42, who live in Washington State. The pair tied the knot in a quickie wedding ceremony after learning of Tonya’s pregnancy last June.

“Everybody’s happy and healthy,” Harding’s friend, Don Horn, said in an interview with The Oregonian Wednesday. “She’s always wanted a baby. She was told she could never have a child … and guess what? It really is a miracle and she really is very happy.”

Harding was the 1991 US Figure Skating champion, but is perhaps best remembered for her role in a plot to have ice rival, Nancy Kerrigan, injured ahead of the 1994 US Figure Skating Championships. She eventually pleaded guilty to one count of hindering prosecution and was permanently banned from participating in events sponsored by the United States Figure Skating Association.

These days, Tonya can be seen offering commentary as a pundit for TruTV.

Kanye West seriously ticked off Lily Allen (and half of the rest of the Twittersphere) today after clicking “Publish” on a Tweet which claimed that an abortion can cost up to $100,000 and that many women deliberately relegate themselves to nine months of swollen ankles and Pickles & Ice Cream just to extort money from men.

Here’s the remark that got everyone riled up: “An abortion can cost a ballin’ n–ga up to 50gs maybe a 100. Gold diggin’ b–ches be getting pregnant on purpose. #STRAPUP my n–gas!”

He followed up with the Tweet: “It ain’t happen to me but I know people.”

Lily — who has suffered two miscarriages, the most recent last year — spoke for many outraged Tweeters when she responded: “Never has a tweet put me in such a bad mood. This is wrong on so many levels.”

We’re still waiting to hear a response from Kanye.

Beyonce African Magazine Shoot

Singer Beyonce, who recently was in the spotlight for sporting skin that was paler than usual, was photographed wearing black face make-up for an African inspired magazine shoot. Beyonce, 29, took inspiration from African culture and wore head wraps as well as tribal-style clothing and accessories for the shoot for French fashion magazine L’Officiel Paris’ 90th-anniversary issue.

L’Officiel has said in a statement that Beyonce was “paying homage to African queens” and as a “return to her African roots, as you can see on the picture, on which her face was voluntarily darkened”. “As for the artistic make-up, the inspiration came from several African rituals during which paint is used on the face,” the Daily Mail quoted the magazine as saying.

“We find the images beautiful and inspiring. The designs are all reflective of the African influence on fashion this season. Miss Knowles poses with royal allure. A queen, a goddess, Beyonce is a bombshell beauty with a divine voice,” it added.
