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."
