Amy Gets Immortalised In Wax


AMY GRANTED AN HONOUR IN MADAME TUSSAUD GALLERY

Just last month we told you Grammy Award winner Amy Winehouse had been given the honour of a place in the Music Zone at Madame Tussauds in London…..Earlier today Amy’s parents Mitch and Janis unveiled her waxwork and when you consider the fact she didn’t attend any measuring sessions and they were forced to take more than 500 precise measurements from pictures we think they’ve done a pretty good job.

MILEY CYRUS WOMEN'S DEDICATION SONG


Miley Cyrus' female record

Miley Cyrus believes all women will relate to her new album.

The 15-year-old 'Hannah Montana' star says she has drawn on personal experience in penning the songs featured on 'Breakout'.


She told MTV: "It's for every teenager, or any woman in general. Most of my songs are for the girls who hate their current or ex-boyfriends.

"I hope fans can just take a way a lot from what I've learned, like it says, it's a 'breakout' record. It kind of explains what I've been going through, so it's kind of a love song/ break-up record."

Miley has also revealed she wrote her first song when she was just seven years old.

She told America's billboard: "I wrote my first song when I was probably seven - it was called 'Pink'. That shows what kind of song it was - it's about the colour pink. But you know what, darn it, I wrote it and I've been writing since I was my little sister's age.

"Songwriting is what I really want to do with my life forever. No matter how long what I'm doing here lasts, I want to be a songwriter for the rest of my life. I love it and it's my escape. I just hope this record showcases that - more than anything - I'm a writer."

THE GODDESS FROM SOUTH AFRICA

Style Icon: Scarlett Johansson


Scarlett Johansson is the modern day version of a classic Hollywood beauty with an elegant, feminine style that is admired around the world.

Although she may look like the perfect screen goddess these days- Scarlett didn't always find red carpet glamour so easy to achieve. Check out this outfit she wore back in 2003....





This was obviously before she realised how to make the most of her beautiful curves and learnt the age old mantra that sometimes 'less is more.'

Thank God Scarlett has come a long way in the last 5 years and has now developed a great red carpet style. She has been credited as bearing a resemblence to movie legend Marylin Monroe with her gorgeous blonde hair and hourglass shape and Scarlett certainly knows how to make the 50s screen siren look work for her.

This figure hugging red dress is simple yet perfect for Scarlett. It is modestly elegant while showing off her great waist shape and fab clevage.

Just because Scarlett knows the value of elegance doesn't mean she doesn't love to ... up the sex appeal factor too. She's very aware of her body shape and know which parts to show off in order to make the most of it.

This satin corset dress that she wore for the 2004 Oscars left very little to the imagination but Scarlett pulled it off brilliantly.

The lesson we should all learn from Scarlett is the importnace of being in tune with your body shape. She's not the average waif like Hollywood girl but Scarlett stays away from crash diets and makes the most of her fabulous curves by dressing to suit her shape.

KYLIE IS THE MAJESTY NOW

Minogue given an OBE

Kylie Minogue was honoured by the Prince of Wales at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace yesterday.

The Australian star has been made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her services to music and the entertainment industry.

Minogue said she was "deeply honoured" to be awarded the status by British monarch Queen Elizabeth II when the New Year Honours List was announced last year.

She says, "I am almost as surprised as I am honoured. I feel deeply touched to be acknowledged by the U.K., my adopted home, in this way."

In May the pop star received France's highest cultural honour, the Order of Arts and Letters for "contribution to the enrichment of French culture."

BRITNEY'S SHIRT ON CHARITY AUCTION


Britney Spears' 20k T-shirt

A signed Britney Spears T-shirt is expected to fetch $20,000 at auction.

The garment carries the line 'I Love You Grandma' which was scrawled by Britney when she wore it while appearing in 'The New Mickey Mouse Club' as a child.


It also features the signatures of her co-stars, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera.

In total, seven items of Britney's clothing are being offered to the public by online auctioneers Gotta Have It! but the T-shirt is expected to generate the most interest.

Gotta Have It! owner Ed Kosinski commented: "Something like that has never come up for auction before. We expect it to go for between $15,000 and $20,000."

The other Britney items - which were provided by Tri Star Sports and Entertainment group on the 26-year-old's behalf - include costumes from her 'Drive Me Crazy' and 'Oops, I Did it Again' tours, a blue and white Santa dress she wore in a Christmas Pepsi ad in 2000, and the orange coat and trousers she wore to the Billboard Music Awards earlier that year.

Some of the proceeds will go to charity.

Also included in the Rock and Roll Pop Art auction are Marilyn Monroe's jeans from her film 'River of No Return', which had been a gift to Britney from designer Tommy Hilfiger.

The jeans are expected to top the predicted bids for Britney's clothes, and could fetch at least $60,000.

There are a further 500 items up for auction, including one of Elvis Presley's jumpsuits and Madonna's personal diary from 1987-1988.

Explaining the diary - predicted to fetch at least $6,000 - Ed said: "It is all handwritten and what she did day-to-day - if she had dinner, if she had rehearsals."

He added that it even includes phone numbers for the 'Material Girl' singer's then-husband Sean Penn and her 'Dick Tracy' co-star Dustin Hoffman.

The online auction will be open from July 21 until August 6.

SCULFOR IS MOVING IN TO DIAZ'S HOUSE


Cameron Diaz's model love nest

Cameron Diaz and new boyfriend Paul Sculfor are set to move in together.

The 'What Happens in Vegas' actress - who has been dating the British model for just over a month - is said to be so smitten with Paul she wants to spend every moment with him.

Whenever Paul - who has previously dated Jennifer Aniston - is in Los Angeles, he stays at Cameron's house and the pair are ready to make the move permanent.

A friend told In Touch Weekly magazine: "Cameron and Paul have been spending every night together. He doesn't have a house in Los Angeles and Cameron doesn't mind him staying with her. When he dated Jennifer Aniston he used to stay at hotels, but Cameron likes him a lot and always wants to be around him."

Cameron recently sparked speculation she is set to wed by sporting a diamond on her ring finger.

The blonde beauty flashed the dazzling band as she left Los Angeles' exclusive Nobu restaurant.

An onlooker said: "She wasn't hiding the ring and quite proudly showed it off."

The pair were recently spotted at the exclusive Chateau Marmont hotel and couldn't keep their hands off each other.

A source said: "Cameron and Paul were sitting on the patio, leaning in toward each other. Her body language looked like she was really comfortable with him. She looked genuinely like a girl falling in love."
