Beauty icon title goes to Knightley

Keira Knightley was named the number one women's beauty icon of 2007 in a poll of 2,500 people.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean actress beat TV presenter Kelly Brook and supermodel Kate Moss to win the greatest share of votes.

All 10 of the women named as top beauty icons in the Superdrug poll are British.

Glamour model Katie Price, also known as Jordan, came just ahead of Paris Hilton to get the number 10 slot.

Superdrug beauty director Katherine Le Clerc said: "The top 10 beauty icons list shows that today there is room for everyone's idea of true beauty.

"From the aloof glamour of Keira Knightley and Victoria Beckham's high-maintenance gloss to the fresh faced youthful looks of Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby and Gemma Atkinson."

Kate Moss, 33, is the oldest woman in the top 10 followed by Victoria Beckham, Superdrug said.

The survey of 2,500 people was carried out for the retailer by market researchers 72point earlier this month.

These are, in order, the top beauty icons of 2007 as named in the Superdrug poll: Keira Knightley, Kelly Brook, Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby, Gemma Atkinson, Alesha Dixon, Lily Allen and Jordan.

Nicole Kidman reveals that she is pregnant

Nicole Kidman, the Oscar-winning star of The Hours and Moulin Rouge, is expecting a baby, it has been disclosed.

The actress, 40, and Keith Urban, her husband of 18 months, reportedly broke the news to their families over the Christmas period.

The baby, whose expected arrival date has not been announced, would be Kidman's first by birth, though the actress, who is winning rave reviews for her role as the evil Mrs Coulter in The Golden Compass, adopted two children during her first marriage to fellow Hollywood star Tom Cruise.

Kidman, who has refused to discuss her break up from Cruise in any depth, recently revealed she had suffered an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage during their 10-year marriage.

Life with Urban, 40, a New Zealand-born country and western singer, has also not been without its difficulties.

The singer checked himself into rehab for alcohol abuse less than four months after the wedding. Kidman admits that it has put a strain on the relationship but says the problems are now under control.

The Australian actress, who lives in Sydney, has been gradually winding down her commitments to spend more time with Urban and her adopted children Isabella, 14, and Conor, 12.

Jennifer Aniston was never pregnant

It is confirmed that Jennifer Aniston is not knocked up. The report stated by the The National Enquirer is said to be a hoax, just made up to increase the popularity of the 38-year old actress.

Us Magazine says:

"The National Enquirer reported that Aniston, 38, is expecting and speculated that the father could be either Vince Vaughn, Paul Sculfor or Sex and the City hunk Jason Lewis. But her rep tells Usmagazine.com: "She is not pregnant."...The star "is in a great mood," a source told Us, despite the fact that she didn't have a date and "left alone" after the Christmas Eve dinner. "There's no drama, and that's why she's happy!"

Alright that clears it all up. I rest my case your honor. LOL

Beyonce Poses Topless

Beyonce Knowles poses in a pair of jeans for House of Dereon brand clothing.

According to Anythinghollywood.com, Beyonce Knowles knows how to seduce her fans into purchasing her brand, House of Dereon jeans. It appears topless photos are “in” right now, because just a few weeks after Keira Knightley made her decision to pose topless for Interview Magazine (and a Chanel ad), Beyonce is doing the same. In her new racy ad, Beyonce is wearing a pair of tight jeans, and that’s all.

A source told News of the World, “Bey wanted to show just how seductive the label can be.” She did a good job. The jeans are quite tight, and have a “squiggly,” which is supposed to be a Fleur-de-Lis (a symbol of the French monarchy), on the back pockets.

Beyonce may not have a single $100 million deal, but her list of endorsements in 2007 alone is enormous: American Express, her Samsung B'Phone, her Armani Diamonds perfume, her appearance in Disneyland's ad campaign as Alice from 'Alice in Wonderland,' her Direct TV ad and her continuing L'Oreal cosmetics contract.

As the face of her own clothing lines run with her family, Dereon, and now Dereon Junior launched in 2007, Beyonce is everywhere and pulling in product-related cash from almost every commodity category. Her level of exposure, combined with the number, quality and diversity of her endorsement deals makes Beyonce BV's Top Black Celebrity Endorser of 2007.

Jolie and Pitts were accompanied to the movies by not one, but two bodyguards. After seeing the movie, The Water Horse, the couple and their kids headed to KFC for some drive-thru chicken.

Wait! Where's baby Shiloh is she MIA? Looks like she's left behind at home with her babysitter. She's supposed to be a part of the happy Pitt family. Maybe she's too young to be watching the movies anyways.

Indie bands rule!

I'm a musician at heart and I'm inspired by Indie bands. I've been with my punk-rock band since I was in college and believe me we've been through a lot in promoting just our single composition. I once knew of a band, an Indie band, which calls themselves Indigo-Son. A DC based rock-pop group composed of Dave Merkle on bass, Bala Harper on drums, and Wyatt on guitar and vocals. They are currently promoting their album entitled Nothing New on the radio and are going to be touring in India next year in January.

I hope they will tour here in the Philippines, since there are a lot of Indie bands here in our country. There's not much happening around in the music industry for local bands here in the Philippines, I guess it goes with the lack of promotions. The music industry needs some kind of support and inspiration from other Indie bands out there. Music is the key and the key is within us.

Tony Romo Not Distracted By Jessica Simpson Masks

Because of suggestions that his hottie girlfriend Jessica Simpson is the jinx in his games, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo felt the pressure and still led his team to victory over the Carolina Panthers Saturday.

Despite thousands of fans wearing Simpson masks, the Cowboys won the game 20-13. Some fans even wore blonde wigs. Simpson was not seen on camera although, according to ESPN, she was in attendance.

"I just put tunnel vision on. There's so many distractions about junk sometimes. I felt like the important thing for my team was to get myself into football mode 24/7," Romo explains.

"I let it roll of my back," the quarterback responds to the question if the media attention has bothered him. "It doesn't really bother me. But it hurts me when it hurts the people that are close to you. Some of the journalistic integrity this week was poor in some ways."

The game in question was last Sunday's game versus the Philadelphia Eagles. It was deemed to be the worst game of his career when he completed a season-low 13 passes and threw three interceptions.

Simpson was blamed for his loss. She was wearing a matching pink Romo jersey from a luxury suite view.

A website aptly named www.RuinRomo.com asks fans of opposing teams to download a Jessica Simpson mask from their site to distract Romo while playing.

Kim Kardashian used to pray her breasts would stop growing.

Kim Kardashian used to pray her breasts would stop growing.

The 27-year-old model and star of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' was an early developer and had C-cup breasts by the time she was 11.

Kim revealed: "I would cry about it. I swear, I would say my prayers at night, hoping that I would stop developing."

The Hollywood socialite - who starred in a sex tape with Brandy's brother, R'n'B singer Ray J - has now learnt to "embrace" her body and made her mother proud by posing for Playboy magazine.

She said: "I've embraced it now. When my mom saw the Playboy pictures she said, 'Wow. If I had pictures from when I was your age. You should do this while you can. They might never ask you again.' "

Kim has decided to use her sexy curves to keep her in the public spotlight.

She added to Details magazine: "I'm not the sex kitten that they've made me out to be, but I'll kind of give it to them when I have to. I know that's what they want, and so I give it to them."

R. Kelly Child-Pornography Trial To Begin May 9

After years of incessant delays, R. Kelly's child-pornography case will finally commence May 9. The trial had previously been scheduled for September 17 but was postponed early that month because the lead prosecutor had recently given birth.

According to the Tribune, Kelly also avoided having his bond revoked Friday morning (December 21). Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan had threatened to do so after chiding the singer for missing a hearing on Wednesday after his tour bus was stopped in Utah for a speeding infraction. An arrest warrant had been issued for the R&B singer, who avoided going to jail when he showed for a 9 a.m. court date on Thursday, but Gaughan threatened to revoke the bond anyway.

Also on Friday, Gaughan considered forcing Kelly to call off his U.S. tour but didn't follow through with the punishment. Gaughan said he decided on leniency because of the "unintended consequences" of canceling such an event, including disappointing fans and a loss of income for venue workers.

The judge did, however, order him to cancel a January 13 concert in Hampton, Virginia, to ensure Kelly doesn't miss his next court appearance on January 14, the paper reports. He is due to perform Friday night in Chicago.

In addition, Gaughan mandated that any vehicles transporting Kelly were not to break any speeding laws, and that if the singer couldn't return to Chicago in time for his next court appearance, that he must return by aircraft. The Tribune quoted Kelly as saying, "I'm sorry for this whole incident, and the next time I would be on a plane if it came down to it."

The Kelly case has dragged on for five years without a trial and originated with 14 counts of child pornography filed against him in 2002 for allegedly videotaping himself having sex with an allegedly underage girl. Kelly, 40, has pleaded not guilty to the charges and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Hollywood Actress Eva Mendez is going to be unveiling her poster for PETA’s “Fur?I’d Rather Go Naked” campaign Thursday in Robertson Boulevard. Just by looking at her photos Eva sure is a hot celebrity.

Spice it up for a few bucks

Looks like the Spice Girls tour is on the verge of loosing steam already. It was reported that some ticket agencies were already selling seats at the last minute at a one-third discount during their on-stage concert Monday night. Is it because of Posh's voice? Or is it just because fans are not too interested anymore with the girls performance?

You be the judge ladies and gentlemen.

The Hottie and the Nottie

Whoa! Goosebumps all over me. Looks like Paris Hilton's upcoming romantic comedy film is already being exposed to the world. And I truly believe in the saying that "if its Paris it sells." While watching the photo, I was imagining Paris being the nottie. What if Paris' life was not as glamorous and fabulous at all. I would really love to see what she would look like if she's simple. Or can somebody make a movie about her being the 'Ugly-Betty-turned-hottie', that would be a good plot for a box office hit film.=D

Anyways, the film which starred Paris Hilton, Joel David Moore, Christine Lakin, and Johann Urb is said to be released on February of 2008.
