The world wasn’t ready for Madge Maw Maw..

Look what happened in 1981 (image of letter above – yes, letter, as in write on paper, not purdy macbook or IThingie or Crackberry, but with pen and actual PAPER!): The then-President of Millenium Records, Jimmy Ienner politely turned down an aspiring singer who just so happened to be Madonna, after listening to four of her songs; his least favourite of which being Love On The Run.

The singer’s debut album was released by Sire Records just two years later to mixed reviews before she became SO famous, that US comedienne Julie Brown just had to make a Vadge-spoof called ”Medusa: Dare to be Truthful.” Below is the clip of “Medusa” – aka – Vadge, swallowing a watermelon.

Hot SAG sluts of the day…

Here are Douglas Booth (left, with something he bought in Taiwan on his travels) & Andrew Garfield (right, obv) who both made our pants stir last night after seeing ‘em looking dashing in Burberry at the SAG Awards in LA. As we’ve said before, faces that could launch a thousand peens.

This is why we like getting wet with surfers…

This is Aussie surfer Julian Wilson (below) photographed by Robert Maxwell for Outside magazine (the one with world champion Kelly Sater on the cover). But forget Kelly for now, it’s all about the Wilson today…ooof, he looks swell (geddit)!

Caught in a wind tunnel were you Gwyneth?!

So this is Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest Brit magazine cover, for the Harpers Bazaar March edition. We’re just going to assume this was shot in a wind tunnel of glitter and lies.

‘Super Diva’?! Sh*t and tofu, with that hair-stuck-to-lipgloss malfunction, we don’t think so!! Oh Gwyneth, seriously, we know you’re in Country Song, but there’s only room for one blonde with a guitar who looks like a creature who chases breath-stealing trolls while strumming about lemon drop tears and lattes from her heart (yes, tis Tay Tay Swift).

Nicole Kidman isn’t real on the cover of Harpers Bazaar Oz

Just released on the Harper’s Bazaar Australia Facebook page – look, it’s Nicole Kidman on the cover of the magazine’s March edition.

Photographed by Alexi Lubomirski – this is Kidman letting up on the botox (something she herself recently admitted to using – like we didn’t guess where that batface came from before huh?!). Motherhood could also be making her glow, or that could just be the tones from her auburny hair clashing with the sun – who knows?

It’s interesting how the font for the magazine cover has gone all ginger on us and how she’s also using her shoulder blades to make you buy the magazine (while the rest of her says ‘Don’t look me in the eye, don’t look me in the eye’). And heh, she’s almost managing a smile too (well, as much as she can from the botox poisoning anyway). We heard that after the shoot, Keith Urban had to mould her face back to the ‘daily glazed’ expression.

The SAG Awards 2011…so who wore what?

So the 17th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards took place last night, and anyone who had a spare ball gown lying around, who’s appeared in a TV show or movie (even with just a cameo), attended. Forget the little award statue which is the stuff nightmares are made of (think freakish porcelain dolls and clowns); there were some nightmares in dresses too.

Kim Kardashian (who goes to the opening of a new toilet roll) was there, and I think I remember tweeting I. JUST.DON’T.CARE about that last night while providing live SAG red carpets awards commentary and sarcasm on Twitter. And heh guess what, I still don’t care. So, moving on….

Natalie Portman managed to ‘just’ pip her Golden Globes frock disaster wearing Azzaro and $2billion’s worth of Tiffany bling, Eva Longoria dressed like the newly single woman she is, in a Georges Hobeika gown which was all about the boobs, January Jones managed to cover-up with more material this time than at the Golden Globes, in Caroline Herrera, Nicole Kidman wore a black crepe Nina Ricci dress and was still abusing botox, Hilary Swank went for Versace, Claire Danes opted for a faux Brit accent, *sigh*, which her Louis Vuitton by Marc Jacobs gown made up for, Winona Ryder looked like she’d robbed a bridal store this time, in a horrid white dress by Alberta Ferretti (which was actually from their bridal collection?!) and went for hair that looked like she just scraped back in a scrunchie and went - Helena Bonham Carter actually remembered to wear matching shoes this time, Kyra Sedgwick looked hot in vintage Thierry Mugler, Jane Krakowski and her bump dazzled in Badgeley Mischka, Christina Hendricks (doing it as only she knows ‘breast’, geddit?) went for L’Wren Scott and star of GleeJayne Lynch made my eyes weep at the sight of lavender (seriously, WHO WEARS LAVENDER?!!).

Doing it for the boys in a very monochromic mix of tuxes by Dior, Prada and Armani, were Justin Timberlake (announcing that he turns 30-years-old soon, no way!!), Jesse Eisenberg (in a VERY awkward interview with E! host Giuliana Rancic), Christian Bale (with a fugly beard), Andrew Garfield (I’m pressing the ‘like’ button as I type’) and Mr Suave himself, Jon Hamm. But the stand-out boy of the night for me was James Franco – wearing what else but Gucci! (because he’s the face of the latest campaign, natch).

I could feature all of the best and worst gowns of the night for the laydees, but I’m not going to, google it if you’re really that interested. Instead I’m just going to say the award for best dressed actress of the night goes to my girl crush of the moment – Mila Kunis – in an Alexander McQueen flowing red floral print strapless gown with sweetheart neckline, from the Resort 2010 collection - designed by Sarah Burton, with accompanying bling by Cartier.

STUNNING, (her and the dress). The End.

Blind item…you guess, we guess…

About two years ago these two stars broke up and the public threw their hands in the air and cried ‘Nooooooo’. The actress fell off the sleb radar for a while. What the public didn’t know was that she was carrying his baby and the pregnancy was the reason for the split. A source says neither wanted a baby but the actress didn’t believe in abortion. The stress of the situation was too big a strain on their relationship and so they broke-up. She had her baby quietly and gave it up for adoption with no one the wiser. (BuzzFoto)

We bet Oprah is just slobbering over her new half-sister thinking about the season finale she could go out with a bang on. We’re guessing SamRo and Lilo.

Vivienne Westwood presents the perfect Valentines Gift

The pendant is also encrusted with tiny cabochon pearls, rich purple enamel and Swarovski crystals.

Priced at £135 for the pendant and £95 for the earrings, they’re the perfect Valentines gift (beats a box of Milk Tray eh girls?).

Shawty mane’s out of Pampers at last

We imagine Playboy are just chomping at the bit after seeing this latest image of LesBieber - aka – Shawty Mane, sans tinkle tinkle little star Pampers and full on rockin’ her new grey training pants instead. Only a couple more years and she’ll legally be able to show her vag in their magazine. But for now, she’s just tantalising them (and us) with her Julia Roberts-esque flat chest.

The fetus crime unit will no doubt be investigating this pic to make sure the singer was indeed on a photo shoot, and not actually lured by Rosie O’Donnell to her pussy palace for beaver abuse close-ups followed by clamping clits. Heck no, according to X17 Online, the singer was with her stylist when she asked the photographer to take a photo on her mobile phone so she could text it to her ‘girlfriend’ (definitely not Rosie, because she’s got too much of a thang for wearing CROCS – and nobody likes CROCS).

A source said: ‘Justin(e) was talking to the stylist, asking her to take sexy pictures of him(her) for his(her) girlfriend.

He(she) was just being cute about it, joking around, but he(she) definitely wanted to look good for this girl. He(she) never said the name Selena, but we knew who it was’.

Aww bless Selena, as in Gomez, the actress known for swiping toddlers from their playpens when the nanny’s p*ssed and asleep on the pool boy; by shaking a rattle playfully to get their attention and then forcing a dummy marinated in vodka and Temazepam into their mouths.

It’s such a shame that Bieber’s getting too big to go caca in her potty now and doesn’t need to sleep with the light on anymore, just in case the big bad monster called Chaz Bono comes to get her. We were about to read the next chapter in her bedtime story….the one where LesBeaver wakes up on the island of Lesbos…

Henry Cavill is Superman…huzzah!

Just when you thought Brit actor Andrew Garfield as Spiderman was enough superhero stud in spandex for you; hello Henry Cavill (he who made cod pieces hot in The Tudors) as the new Superman (or as they say in Espanola, superguapo!).

Bringing sexy back (to blue tights and red boots, if there is such a thing) Variety.com has announced that Zack Snyder (Sucker Punch and Watchmen) is to direct the latest redo of the man from the planet Krypton and he had this to say about Henry:

“In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognised and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield.”

YAY for Henry and all that. Let’s just hope he doesn’t follow in the footsteps of Brandon Routh and play a fully clothed Superman. Seriously, we’re SO due a superhero who’s happy to get nekkid, and while we’re at it, make it 3D too!
