With lips like Angelina Jolie and the body of Giselle it’s no surprise Brit model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has been picked as the new face of US lingerie Victoria’s Secret.
Rosie will share centre stage with Heidi Klum on December 1st when she walks the runway as one of the ‘Angels’ at the Victoria’s Secret Catwalk Show in New York.
Rosie’s the only British beauty to be gracing the line-up the celebrates the Amazonian looking models and is watched by tens of millions of viewers around the world each year. Rosie tells the Sunday Mirror: “I’m very proud to be the only British spokesmodel for Victoria’s Secret. It has been an ongoing relationship for four years now, and 2009 has been such an exciting year for me. I have lots of projects in the pipeline. I’m gearing up for the Victoria’s Secret show in New York City, and am looking forward to the release of the 2010 Pirelli Calendar.”
And there’s even better news for men all around the world – Rosie’s newly single after splitting from Rolling Stone offspring Tyrone Wood. After her appearance on the runway in December it’s highly unlikely she’ll be single for long.

On The Grapevine…..

November 7th, 2009

*Strictly’s put Jo Wood off of any other reality TV show for good! She told me at the Peugeot BB1 bash this week: “Never again! No more. I did Strictly because it was the right time, and it is about learning a skill. I wanted a challenge. I am not sitting in a jungle eating bugs and testicles, or locking myself in a house with a bunch of strangers. What’s the point.” Indeed!

*Brian Friedman was almost a dancer for Madonna on tour – but he wouldn’t chop his locks to go on the road with her. He tells me: “I once auditioned for Madonna to be her dancer and she asked if I was willing to shave off all my hair for the part. I said no – my hair was part of my identity then so I’ve never danced for Madonna.” Bummer!

*Gerard Butler spoke this week of his rumoured fling with Jennifer Aniston and told me: “It never was true and no matter how much I deny it nobody believes me.”

*Model Jodie Kidd can’t wait to be an auntie for sister Jemma’s twins who are due to arrive around Christmas! She revealed at the Peugeot BB1 bash: “The whole family is on baby alert, we will just be on tenterhooks. The whole of Christmas is about babies. I’m now an auntie veteran – my brother has four kids but it is still so exciting.” Good luck Jodes!

*Javine
sounds like she’s getting used to single life after ditching dirty dawg MC Harvey. Javine says: “The split had been building for the last year to be honest, and then in the last two weeks it just came to a head. I was so ready for the break that I am not reeling as much as people expect me to. And now I’m a single mum and I’m proud of that title. It is just about me and Angel.” Good for her.

Awwww man, I always get so over excited when there’s a Spice Girl in the area! SEE!

Mel B was on fabulous form hosting the Glaceau XXX Vitamin Water party last week!

There were two things Scary about that night. Mel and my embarrassing dance off! I’m off to hide my face for a while now…..

Mel’s back in London next week and is attending the after bash for the Cosmopolitan Mag Awards. I’ll be there too bringing you all the goss!

Leona Lewis looks smoking hot in these exclusive snaps from her brand new music video for the single Happy. I caught up with Leona in Berlin at the EMAs and she told me she was more than a wee bit nervous about her performance tomorrow on the X Factor. Leona, who’s brilliant album Echo is out Nov 16, told me: “Going back in front of the judges is a nerve wracking thing. I’m extremely nervous about the whole show. Simon’s already sent me a good luck message ahead of the show.” Bless uncle Simon – I don’t think Leona needs luck some how!

Lindsay Lohan, Gerard Butler, the Le Bon family and Naomi Watts party at the exclusive Kerzner Mazagan Hotel launch in Morocco

Before I give you all my gossip on the exclusive Kerzner Mazagan Beach Resort launch I wanted to talk about Lindsay Lohan. Over the past few days I’ve had a horrendous tirade of abuse from fans of Lindsay on Twitter. I wanted to explain what exactly went on this weekend.
We were all told (the journos) that Lindsay had arrived with supposed ‘boyfriend’ Petey Wright in tow as well as her best friend Patrick. I immediately twittered this only to be told a while later that Lindsay was in fact only with Patrick.
Then a few hours later we were once again told Lindsay was with Petey by a source looking after her there. But it became obvious that he wasn’t anywhere to be seen…..
Obviously this is annoying as my job as a gossip journalist is to give you the truth about what’s going down wherever I am in the world.
I did have the pleasure of meeting Lindsay later in the evening and chatting to her and I can’t say anything but nice stuff about her. She was polite, composed and seemed perfectly poised for a fun night out. She wasn’t wasted or anything. I was pleasantly surprised after reading numerous articles about her and seeing her in London a few weeks ago in a terrible state.

As the night progressed it seemed obvious she was hanging out with a few people – one of which was Gerard Butler. At no point did I see them snog, go off together or anything of the sort. I have no idea where those reports came from! They were hanging out in a club. End of.

I wish people would calm themselves on Twitter and realise that I’m only trying to do the best job I can. I have to trust what sources are saying sometimes but the majority of times I will give you the juice from what I’ve seen with my own eyes.
There’s no need for swearing, cursing or any sort of abuse. It’s just not on. And is never acceptable.

Right, now that’s out of the way let’s talk about the gossip from the amazing Mazagan bash! ENJOY!

It must be nice for Yasmin Le Bon having a daughter as utterly charming and sober as her model offspring Amber (above). I spoke to Yasmin about 19-year-old Amber, who gave up booze in February. She told me: “It’s great to say I have a daughter that’s sober. She’s such a sensible girl all round I just continually hope she doesn’t go down the wrong road. The last thing any mother wants is their daughter selling crack on the streets!” True true!

Meanwile Simon Le Bon and me engaged in a ‘dance-off’ in the middle of the Sanctuary club at the exclusive Mazagan Beach Resort. Simon wandered over to the DJ booth and yelled: “Got any MGMT. Please play it.” Unfortunately the DJ had no idea an eighties pop legend was before him and said he ‘didn’t take requests’. Blasted!

Actress Tamsin Egerton took time out from strolling on the 7km beaches where Pamela Anderson’s ex Kelly Slater was surfing to talk to me about her future film projects. And from the sounds of it the St Trinian’s babe is in demand! Tamsin said: “They are currently cutting the sequel of St Trinian’s and some of the girls were seeing a rough cut this week. Unfortunately I couldn’t go. It was such fun being on the film and I really enjoyed getting to know Sarah Harding on set. She’s a good actress and people will be surprised. I’ve just wrapped the new Noel Clarke film too, called 4.3.2.1 and I’m getting ready to go off to Los Angeles. I’ve given my agent a week to schedule meetings and I have about 40 so far!” This is one woman ready to conquer Hollywood.

Talking of Hollywood, actress Naomi Watts (above with me) brought along her two young children Sam and Alex and husband Liev Schreiber to the Mazagan Beach resort launch. The pair introduced the kiddies to performers with monkeys and the snake charmers at the cocktail party on Friday night. Naomi told me she was loving Morocco. She said: “I’ve been here in the past but I’ve loved being here with my family.” Naomi spent much of her evening sitting alongside the Le Bons and actress Natasha McElhone and they all puffed away on fags before hitting the dancefloor.

Shhhh
WHICH fashion stylist in Morocco decided to boink his boy toy on the beach! The silly billy was making out right outside my room. Naughty, naughty!

Lisa Snowdon (above) is loving her job getting up at the crack of dawn for the Capital FM breakfast show with Johnny Vaughan. Lisa told me: “I’ve been doing it for over a year now and it’s still just as exciting getting up in the morning to go to work. We’ve just announced the Jingle Bell Ball acts for this Christmas too and we have Lady Gaga and Janet Jackson headlining.” Lisa was on amazing form in Morocco and while the rest of us were suffering hangovers from hell she hit the gym each day and jogged on the beach! Good girl.

Birthday greetings to Simon Le Bon, Hollywood actor Gerard Butler and Naomi Campbell’s millionaire boyfriend Vladislav Doronin. The threesome celebrated their birthdays at Mazagan’s Sanctuary Club last night. Yasmin and Naomi had pre-planned the entire evening around their men and a huge cake was brought out for each man! And part of the celebrations included Simon and hotel owner Heather Kerzner taking to the mic for some impromptu karaoke!

Donna Air brought along her daughter Freya, six, for her stay at the Mazagan resort and the little one sounded extremely happy! Donna revealed: “Freya’s found this little restaurant that has rotisserie chicken all day and she’s been munching on that throughout our week here. It’s great for kids.”

Cindy Crawford swings into London for the London Film Festival and Omega Constellation

October 20th, 2009

A-List Supermodels don’t come cooler than Cindy Crawford and I bumped into her twice last week. We posed up at the opening of the London Film Festival and partied at her Omega Constellation launch in Mayfair. She told me she’s very clean living nowadays and works hard to stay fit! Cindy revealed: “I don’t do anything out of the ordinary. I exercise regularly and eat well. I don’t smoke and I drink only occasionally like tonight when I may have a glass of champagne.” I can honestly say this is one woman you have to see in real life. S-t-u-n-n-i-n-g!

The party of the week was the Omega Constellation bash. I caught up with Lily Allen who was hanging on the arm of her builder boyfriend Sam Cooper at the event. Lily told me she loved the pricey watch brand: “I’m hoping somebody from Omega will take me aside to ‘have a look’ at one. They look cool.”
But Lily’s pal Rhys Ifans only had eyes for one guest at the bash – model and general girl about town Tolula Adeyemi. Rhys couldn’t leave the poor girl alone! But admittedly the wannabe A-Lister was far from turning her back on Rhys! I spied them cuddling and Tolula told a source of mine: “Rhys is hot – he’s great to talk to.” What will Rhy’s on/off squeeze Kimberly Stewart say about this one?!

Breakfast show DJ Christian O’Connell will be launching Absolute Radio’s Song of the Decade campaign and I’ve decided to get involved and enter my own personal song!

I’m backing plump bummed Beyonce and her worldwide smash Crazy in Love to hit the top spot! I know the guitar loving Absolute listeners will find this irritating but I love my pop and this song rocks.

Dannii Minogue talks about those engagement rumours

First thing’s first – Happy Birthday to Dannii Minogue! She’s 21 again today!

I’ve been wondering lately whether or not Dannii will get a big fat rock on THAT finger from her hunky boy Kris Smith sometime soon. Hell, they’ve been rumoured to be engaged five or so times this year alone. But the X Factor judge tells me marriage is going to happen – but not yet. Dannii reveals: “We’re happier than ever. We’re obviously close and living together. He’s definitely the one for me. But it’s not about rushing into marriage. We’re sorting out the reality of which country are we living in and more logistical things. It’s only been a few months since we came home from Australia. Everyone’s been like rush, rush, rush but we’re just enjoying each other. Watch this space!” Let me know when you buy a hat, Missy!

PS. Hope you like the shot of me with Miss D and her three Team Minogue girls in X Factor – good luck to Rachel, Lucie and Stacey this weekend!
