Judi Dench Reveals Declining Eyesight

Dame Judi Dench is one of those rare women that knows how to age gracefully and with dignity (take that, Joan Rivers!). The acting legend knows that growing old gracefully is sexy and looking your age is actually a good thing.

But the famed actress did recently reveal that her age has also meant that there are some things that remind her of her “seniority.” In a recent interview she revealed that her eyesight is deteriorating. It has come to a point, Dame Dench said, that she needs to have her scripts read to her. Read the rest of this entry »



Celebrities Who Go the Extra Mile for Their Dogs


Who doesn't love dogs? I guess there are people who really do not harbor any affections for man's best friend, but being a dog lover myself, that is rather hard to understand. Of course, we all have our preferences, but if you are a dog lover, you would also love to read about celebrities who can't feel enough love for their canine friends.

Check out these celebs who would go the distance for their dogs.

Hugh Hefner Puppy

Hugh Hefner's Dog: Charlie


He may have a not-so-conservative reputation, but Hugh Hefner loves his dog.

7 Celebrities with Health Conditions

Celebrities are perfect. They have no flaws. They are always at their best, even upon waking up.

Stupid as those statements may sound, they do come up in the minds of Jane and Joe Average, if only because of what is portrayed by the media. Now and then, we do come upon pieces showing just how human celebrities are. Humans like you and me.

This is not to downplay the health condition of any celebrity in this list. Neither is it to make fun of them, but if you feel a slight sense of schadenfreude, no one will make any judgements for sure. So here are some celebrities with health conditions, if it makes you feel any better that they are human after all.

Anticipation for Adele’s Grammy Performance Heating Up

Adele’s stirring up a lot of talk and not in a bad way (yes, we’re looking at you MIA). The extremely talented British songstress is gearing up for her much anticipated performance at the 2012 Grammy awards. The anticipation is well deserved, this is going to be her first performance after undergoing vocal chord surgery. People are hoping that her voice will not be affected by the operation.

Gisele Bundchen Comforts, Defends Tom Brady

The New England Patriots suffered a disheartening loss against the New York Giants at last Sunday’s Super Bowl. The match was closely fought until the very last part of the game, which makes it a more painful defeat for the Patriots. Tom Brady, the Patriots’ quarterback, was especially sad after the game. But trust his loving wife Gisele Bundchen to console his husband. Read the rest of this entry »



Everyone looks forward to the Super Bowl year in and year out, and while most people anticipate the game, you can’t deny that the half time show plays a major role. And when it comes to the Super Bowl half time show, controversy is no stranger.

Remember Janet Jackson’s breast-baring act? “Nipplegate”, as it is sometimes called will be forever remembered by those who saw and heard about the “wardrobe malfunction”. Never mind that more than half of the audience have seen more than a breast exposed on the wide screen. The American public still clamored against that act of “indecency”.

This year, I am rather surprised that Madonna has not provided the controversy for the half time show. Tell me you aren’t!

One of her fellow performers on stage did that instead. Rapper M.I.A. did not go all the way, but still stirred up conservatives by giving a camera her middle finger.

MIA Flips Camera

MIA Flips Camera


Oh, come on guys, this is not polite, sure, but look at that chick. Does she look like she is the politest gal in town? The producers should have expected something like this to happen! And now that it has happened, what’s there to cry about?

It’s definitely not appropriate. M.I.A. should be fined or something, then let’s forget about her. It’s not like she gets lots of publicity these days anyway. Maybe she thought that making that gesture would get her more than five minutes in the limelight in 2012.

For good measure, here’s the video of the half time show.

A lot of tongues wagged when Seal somehow snatched up gorgeous Heidi Klum. The more vicious ones kept throwing the same question out there: how did the singer manage to get her attention?

Burlesque Queen Dita von Teese shines in Las Vegas

Queen of Burlesque Dita Von Teese delivered a sexy midnight burlesque striptease at the Hyde Bellagio in Las Vegas on Saturday night. At midnight she performed a version of her infamous champagne glass act.

dita burlesque vegas

Dita von Teese was joined on the red carpet by 2012 beauty pageant princesses and nightclub models but she was not daunted by the rival beauties.

“I’m a woman of experience, and not one of them has a waist as tiny or tight as mine in a cinch! “she said before the show. “I’ll pull out all the stops for a raucous, one-off, classic show undressing in a large champagne glass against the fountains of the Bellagio. How can any of them compete with that?”

She was right. They couldn’t and she was the star of the night.

When the clock struck midnight, Von Teese took the stage in an haute couture costume adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals. She then teased the cheering crowd as she danced around an enormous champagne glass peeling off layer after layer of clothing and untying the corset from her tiny laced up waist. The crowd went wild as Miss Dita Von Teese poured champagne down her body, finally immersing herself into the champagne glass, kicking and splashing champagne.

It was Dita Von Teese’s first burlesque performance in Las Vegas for over a year. But afterwards Von Teese said that she hoped to be back in Vegas soon.

“I’m hoping we’ll be able to bring some of the showgirl burlesque back to Vegas. I’m doing the real version, which is the same way it was done in the 1930s and ’40s; that’s what burlesque really was.”
