Christiano Ronaldo has fun in the Sun


Now while I am not the world's biggest football/soccer fan, I can appreciate the game (Re: David Beckham) and this appreciation has definitely spread over to Mr. Christiano Ronaldo.

The Manchester United hottie was seen over the weekend frolicking with his model girlfriend (go firgure) and friends aboard a $12 million yacht in Sardinia, Italy.

Ronaldo is expected to make the move from ManU to Real Madrid later this year but is currently on a month's vacation so hopefully we will be getting more pictures to enjoy.

Ronaldo would be following in Mr. Beckham's big footsteps as David previously played for both ManU and Real before making the move to the US.

Leona Performs for Mandela

After attending a dinner in honour of Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday on Wednesday, Leona continued to sing praises for the birthday boy at a fundraising concert in his honour at Hyde Park in London.

Proceeds from the event are in aid of Mandela's 46664 charity, which is currently campaigning to raise awareness of the severity of the disease.

46664 was Mandela's prison number while he was incarcerated for his anti-apartheid views.




Rihanna and Chris go Grocery Shopping

Now I can never understand why when people do not want to be seen together they decide to walk a few steps apart from each other. After all, it's not as though they will end up in the same picture or anything???!?!?!

Rihanna and Chris were spotted around LA doing being all domesticated as they went grocery shopping together. The twosome tried to make it look as though they arrived separately but they were the only ones who thought it would work.

Apparently though no one let Chris' mum know she was supposed to help keep the secret. Mama Joyce Hawkins recently stated that Rihanna is “the sexiest and sweetest girl Chris has ever dated”.

Chris laughed off his mum's slip up by saying "Yeah yeah, she’s real cool. They’re both light skin with green eyes, so…!” (when asked if his mum liked Rihanna).



It's a Gossip Girl Summer

Real life lovers and costars Penn Badgley and Blake Lively were caught canoodling on the beach set of Gossip Girl. Now I'm not sure if this smooching was for the camera or not as last season left these two unsure as to where they were in their relationship but who cares.

They are so so so cute.Ed Westwick was also on set and this picture does seem to be a bit more Chuck than Ed. It's totally believable that Chuck would have a storyline about topless girls on a beach so no need to question whether the camera was rolling for this one.

Nelson Mandela Turns 90

The stars were out in fine form to help celebrate the 90th birthday of a man who se name has been synonomous with peace over the years.


A dinner was held in Nelson Mandela's honour on Wednesday in London. This dinner was just one event in a series of events to celebrate the life of this political laureate. A big outdoor concert is also scheduled for today (Friday) in Hyde Park.

The fundraising concert will be attended by an audience of exactly 46,664. 46664 was Mandela's prison number while he was imprisoned for 27 years.

Performing at the concert will be Leona Lewis, Annie Lennox and Amy Winehouse along with a host of other musicians.

Below are pictures from the arrival of celebrities at the Mandela dinner.








Jonas Bros do Denmark

The Jonas Brothers are currently wrapping up their European tour with Avril Lavigne (final show is tomorrow in Sweden).

Taking a break from performing, the brothers were spotted at their hotel where they took time out for photos.

The middle Jonas, Joe, recently spoke to the brother's views as young christians.

"Even songs we write today, if you really listen to the lyrics, it can be about love songs, but it's also about our relationship with God. It's simple. We're Christian guys in a rock 'n' roll band."

- Joe Jonas


It's nice to see that the "tween" set has good role models in the Brothers Jonai.

Beyonce Makes Her Way through Heathrow


Beyonce looked casual and chic as she was seen passing through Heathrow airport in London en route to Ireland yesterday afternoon. The singer was on her way to meet hubby Jay-Z who is playing a concert tonight in Ireland.

After this concert, the pair will return to England for the Glastonbury Festival.

Beyonce made sure that her love for home-state Texas was displayed for all to see on her T-shirt.

What's so cool about Bey is that she can glam it up like nobody's business and still be casual and comfy flawlessly.

Beyonce has been busy filming her latest movie Obsession with Idris Elba and is sure to get busier in the coming months as her new album is tentatively scheduled for a November release.
