My ambition for this post is to get through it without uttering the phrase “This season, it’s all about…”. I WILL NOT DO IT! Plum, Burgundy and maroon shades are everywhere at the mo. So we should all run along now, like good little fashion slaves, and follow suit.

Luckily it’s faaaaaairly easy on the Irish complexion, makes a great alternative to black for formal wear, is dark enough to still be flattering and you can spill your wine all over yourself, safe in the knowledge that it’ll just blend in. If you know me personally, you’ll understand how vital this is.

I don’t know why I’m surprised. We’ve known forever that celebrities like free stuff. But who’da thunk they’d be out looting with the best(?) of them in persuit of a new 42 inch plasma?

Colin Farrell has that whole ‘I’m from Castleknock but I’m still a mad yoke, RIGH’!!!’ thing going on, so he was always going to throw his oar in.

Ashley Cole could probably come home with a box of 24 PSPs, a shetland Pony and a prostitute and Cheryl would ask no questions so he has nothing to lose really.

Prince broke in to Ticketmaster to rob tickets for his own concerts. It was the only way they were gonna shift them.

Eva Longoria Sarah Michelle Gellar Jessica Parker was after a few new names.

Anyway, shame on you all! …But if you do happen to come accross a nice Macbook Pro, hook a sister uuuuuuup!

..face.

I like to give a product a good loooong test before saying - yes, you may become my new product fiancé. Here is my announcement:

Following 18 months of trials, tribulations and lack of sleep, my relationship with this product has reached a level of understanding and respect that can not, must not, be ignored. I feel we are as one. Our union was probably a prophecy of Nostradamus, or at the very least, Jesus.  As I lay here listening to Celine Dion on my love mixtape made especially for my new favourite product, I was overcome with the urge to share.

So here it is ;  I’m ‘over the moon’ to offishally anonounce my face’s betrothal to Vichy’s Liftactiv foundation, number 25. (available from pharmacies.)

It has made me appear human on occassions when I should really have frightened children and old people. It’s put colour and glow on a face that unbedecked, has, I imagine, made my own mother question whether I could legitimately be her’s - as I appear to have been born before her…

Finally, it stays on all day, unlike my clothing at a festival.

Those, ladies and gentlebugs, are my reason to love this product. If YOU have a product that you can not be without, I urge you to share below… I am completely open to luring Activlift in to a false sense of security before cruelly dumping it for something that makes me look better - much like my 17 year old self with my then boyfriend.

I reckon the good folk at Penneys are only DELIREH with this photo! Check out Beyonce wearing a floral, Penneys headband whilst performing at Oxegen last night. If you’re heading to Electric Picnic in a few short weeks time, (2nd - 4th September..do it…it’s AWESOME!) better grab one fast. They’ll fly out after this!

Bags one!

So the Beckhams have called their new baba gurl ‘Harper Seven Beckham’. Bless them, they’re not the brightest. Somebody should tell them it’s number FOUR! You have FOUR children. Those other children are only DOLLS, David! They’re NOT REAL!! …Thank God he’s so pretty.

Can’t imagine where else they might have got the number Seven… imaginative/cruel stuff right there. Now Harper, I can live with. Harper Beckham…yeah…nice! But Harper Seven, as B pointed out this morning, sounds like ‘Half past Seven’. Although with their penchant for naming children after the conditions in which they were concieved, maybe there’s something in that…?

Anyway, Howeye Harper Seven! Welcome along.

Cher Lloyd’s debut single has mysteriously leaked all over t’internet. ‘Swagger Jagger’ is due for release this August but you can have a listen here amongst other places. The cynic in me doubts how accidental all of this is, but Cher does seem pretty miffed about it. In the last hour she has tweeted:

“I’ve never been this upset ever!”

“i worked so hard, and people wanna ruin it for me, if you wanted to hurt me you’ve done a great job”

“please don’t do this to me. i wish i was at home with my family, i’ve been through enough this year”

Hmmmm….. Publicity plan? Ragin’ for her if it’s not.

Anyway, whatcha reckon?

I was tempted to just post the picture and say nothing to frighten the bejeezus out of y’all. But I thought I better come clean; they’re not getting back together. They just went to John’s new show together to support him. Ahh! …sad face. (No, not really. What do you take me for?…yeah OK I like Justin Bieber, whatever)

Anyway…let’s survey the damage. And by ‘the damage’ I obviously mean Paul. Time has been a cruel master to our Paul. But at least he still has all of that hair. That’s good…right? As for Jo, or ‘Mum’ as the rest of the band call her, at least she has a smile on her mush for once.

Is it just me who finds this incredibly depressing? I used to think I still had it and was down with the cool kids and their funky grooves maaaan. But now I just think, that’s you L. There you are now.

It has been announced that Amy Adams will play Lois Lane in the new Superman movie; Man of Steel. Rumours have been rife for the past few months about who would land the coveted part. I really thought I’d get it…dammit! Henry Cavill is already confirmed to play Superman…Are you well, Henry? Coz you’re lookin’ well! But all of this is overshadowed for me, by the fact that Kevin RIDEFACE Costner is playing his Dad…HOWEYE KEVIN!!

I am shocked and aghast! Turns out, Rebecca Black was but a charlatan! The true queen of tweeny parent-paid-for pop is surely Jenna Rose? ‘My Jeans’ was around a long time before ‘Friday‘. Like OMG Rebecca! You’re like totes jockin’ Jenna’s swagger! Ridic!… Jenna is already on her second “song”. Here she brings us the musical stylings of ‘O.M.G.’ and a little pre-teen-peedo-porn video to go with it. Ahh how cute…

OMG is right love!

Anyone watch Comic Relief last night? Sobfest 2011 raised a whopping SEVENTY FOUR MILLION England monies. By my calculations that’s just over €20! (Give or take, I’ve rounded it off) Highlights for me were…

 - Adele, who was whopper as usual.

 - Lenny Henry accidentally saying “F*ck” and then saying “I can’t believe I said ‘F*ck on BBC2″.

 - The Inbetweeners boys visiting places with rude names. I really want to move to Bell End. It sounds like tremendous fun.

 - And who could forget the return of Smithy, who saves Comic Relief whilst George Michael waits in the car. I won’t say anything else or it will ruin the surprise appearances but I think you’ll know who nearly made me pee with excitement.

Well done the Beeb!

Sarah Harding’s gone dark in advance of her ‘Black Swan’ inspired, gothic style wedding later this year.

Decent?

It would appear that, for some inexplicable reason, some folk don’t share my undying love for Justin Bieber… WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??!! *seizure* Anywho, it’s been a hard week for us beliebers. We had to watch our babygod being mowed down on CSI in the plime of libe! Come on! He’s so amazing he didn’t even get any bullet holes in his jacket! And then getting trounced all over on the B-ball court…

*sob*

And just in case you’re not enjoying this enough (you bastards), remember this?

Laugh all you want…you’ll be punished in hell.

These poor girleens fell in to a giant toilet trying to promote Ballygown Pink, so the least you lot can do is buy a couple of bottles to support Think Pink Week! The Marie Keating Foundation’s breast cancer awareness initiative is being celebrated this week and lots of Irish celebs have got on board to ‘Be part of it’.

College students and office workers alike are ‘Thinking Pink’ this week by wearing pink to work and college. As Stylebitches, i think it’s our duty to get our favourite pink gunas out this weekend so!
