X factor Gossip: So long, Kitty!

Born this way: Kitty bows out of X Factor 2011
Her nine lives were finally up and her divas seem to have deserted her, as Kitty became the latest contestant to leave the X Factor.

Was I surprised? No, not really but I would have actually preferred her to stay in, rather than Misha B, not least because she is entertaining and makes me laugh every time she misinterprets what Dermot says.

Speaking of Dermot, he seems to have taken his dancing up a level- did you see those moves he strutted on Saturday’s show?! Very amusing indeed.

Back to the show and the Gaga vs Queen theme was one of the best this year- Craig’s rendition of Paparazzi was amazing, as was Misha B’s take on Born this way.

The rest were a bit dull- even Marcus who so amazed me last week fell into the trap of overplaying his new found ‘sound’ which the judges rightly labelled as predictable.

Little Mix too had a bit of a shocker after flawless performances week on week; this was the one time which let them down.

Janet too, even though she went back to what she does best, was dull as dishwater and however harsh Gary was to say she was boring, he was right.

She needs to up her game or the public will soon lose interest, which oddly enough seems to be happening with Misha B.

Ever since Tulisa as good as labelled her a bully, her star has faded and the public no longer seem to want to support her.

Someone who clearly does have the public vote is Amelia, who was welcomed back with open arms. Storming ‘The show must go on’, the episode ended on a high and rightly so, she was voted through to next week with no hesitation.

My tip for the final three at this point? Craig, Misha B and Little Mix… do you agree?

Tonight’s TV…Exciting times!

There are some good things about Monday’s…namely Monday evenings when your working day is done mind, but still, that’s at least something to be grateful for!

Something else to be grateful for on a Monday is the TV- oh yes, the programmes on a Monday are quite possibly my favourite, especially now Essex has finished for another series… Wednesday’s may never be the same again!

Here’s my pick of what to watch tonight…

Made in Chelsea: Billed as the ‘Sloany way is Essex ’ this is almost the anti-TOWIE, although I’m sure it will be just as addictive. Instead of partying at Sugar Hut and flashing the flesh every five minutes, the kids featured in this programme are all about million pound trust funds, playing polo and buying the finest designer gear. Yep, I’m sure I’ll hate every one of them…

Glee: This is an obvious choice really, as those who read my blog regularly will know I am a super Gleek. Tonight’s episode is a 90 minute special featuring the musical stylings of Lady Gaga once again, and rumour has is Karofsky finally confronts his inner gay demons. Woo, cannot wait!

Young, Rich and House Hunting: Another round of rich kids (brats to you and me) go house hunting with mummy and daddy’s money to find the perfect house. I shouldn’t like it, and yet I find myself hitting the sky + button every week.

Kerry Katona- The Next Chapter: Yes, I know I shouldn’t be advocating this show, but its great trash TV and perfect for just kicking back to with a glass of vino in one hand and the crunchy nut in the other.

Check out Lady Gaga's new video!

The song is great and Gaga is bigger than ever, so what better time to release her brand new video to the public?!

It went live at 4pm yesterday and is already a massive hit on YouTube. Check out the vid for yourself below and let me know what you think...

Lady Gaga's Bizarre Egg Performance!

After the meat fiasco last year, you would of thought Lady Gaga wouldn't be able to top that and then, the egg landed.

The singer spent a reported three hours in a giant glowing egg 'getting into character' before hatching out on stage to perform. OMG.

She was carried into the arena waving at fans from inside the egg, but wouldn't talk to anyone as she completed her incubation process.

You have to laugh, seriously- only she could get away with something as outlandish and crazy as that and not have people question her sanity.

Once 'hatched' Gaga launched into Born this Way (amazing new song btw) in a futuristic gold latex suit complete with side ponytail.

On top of her show stopping performance, she landed three Grammys on the night in addition to riding high in the charts all across the world! Not bad Lady G, not bad.

Check out the highlights below...

Tuesday Fashion Scoop

Could Lady G be Mugler's secret fashion weapon?
After blue Monday comes fashion scoop Tuesday, so here's my hits for the day...

Lady Gaga @ Thierry Mugler: Rumours are rife that Gaga will play an exclusive track from her new album at Nicola Formichetti's debut as the creative director of Thierry Mugler next month. Promos don't come much bigger than this... it will be THE show to watch me thinks.

Vogue v.s. Harper's Bazaar: Hehe, I love nothing more than a playground catfight and they don't get much bigger than these two power fashion houses. Apparently the buzz on the street is both mags are expected to 'war' over who will be the first to land Kate Middleton on their cover. Humm... my money's on Wintour nailing this one.

Kate Middleton to wear Bruce Oldfield?: Has the gorgeous Kate finally chosen the designer who will make her wedding dress? If reports are to be believed, the designer, who often dressed Princess Di is the hot fave after member's of Kate's family were spotted trying on hats for more than an hour in his shop. OMG.

That's all folks!

Lady Gaga meat outfit most requested for Halloween!

Lady Gaga rocking the meat look earlier this year...not my fave outfit of hers!
Yes you really did read the headline correctly...Lady Gaga's oh so controversial meat outfit is now the most wanted costume for Halloween in the States.

Crazy doesn't even begin to cover it... that outfit was panned by half of Hollywood only two months ago and now butchers all across NYC are being inundated with requests!

I know Americans really get into Halloween each year, but surely this is a step too far?

Raw meat dangling off your private bits for a whole night is a touch too far to go to look like your idol, especially when it would be rumoured to cost $2000 to protect your modesty.

Yep, to emulate Lady G, you'd need couture cuts of meat- no scrag end allowed. Saying that, if you're nuts enough to want to try this look, only the best would do!

This kind of story really brightens up my Monday, I don't know about you...Check out the full story on the Daily Mail here

LFW: Ashish’s Fast Food Catwalk

Ashish SS11...are McDonald's in fashion?!
You’ve got to love Ashish. Always one to go one step further on the runway, his London Fashion Week SS10 show treated us to fast food on the catwalk.

Bet you never thought you’d see the words ‘fast food’ and ‘catwalk ‘in the same sentence, but this one designer has seemingly achieved the impossible!

He sent cowboy boots with both the McDonald’s and Heinz Baked Beans logo emblazened all over them!

Utterly brilliant and bonkers at the same time. I know of only two women who would probably give them a go though- Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.

Considering Lady G has experimented with raw meat and KP has dressed like both a banana and fried egg, they are clearly the right clientele for this kind of fashion!

VMAs Fashion Gossip!

Lady Gaga wows in meat dress on stage at VMAs
After last year’s antics at the VMAs (you know Kanye West gate crashing Taylor Swift’s speech, Lil Mama climbing the stage while Alicia Keys performed) who would of thought this year could top it?!

As usual, Lady Gaga was the primary source of entertainment in her many outfits- the most shocking of all being a dress made entirely of meat.

Looking like Ross Noble’s stand-up incarnation had come to life, Gaga teamed her meaty dress with some furry boots and mismatched fishnet tights.

Now if she hadn’t already done the whole meat bikini thing last week for Vogue Japan it may have had more of an impact.

That said she did totally wow in a regal Alexander McQueen gown, complete with headdress and 12inch platforms, which drew gasps from the audience as she arrived with her entourage.

And when she picked up her award for Best Pop Video award she pulled out all the stops in stunning black leather Armani Prive gown.

In other fashion news, Katy Perry decided to pay homage to her hubby-to-be Russell Brand, by painting him on her nails. Bless!

Others who impressed me on the night was the stunning Florence Welch. Now, this lady is all about the quirky but last night she looked like she belonged at the Oscars.

A sweeping gold Jewel-encrusted mermaid gown totally stole the show, even though she was competing with the likes of Gaga and Perry. Way to fly the flag for the Brits Flo!

Check out ITN's coverage of the event below...

OMG Lady Gaga goes nude...AGAIN!

The Naked Truth: Copyright Vogue Hommes Japan
Another day, another cover which is set to shock. Lady Gaga posing naked in nothing but a 'meat bikini' for Vogue Hommes Japan.

For those of you who don't know what a meat bikini is, it is quite literally pieces of meat fashioned to look like a bikini, which in turn covers Gaga's rude bits!

As usual she's caused outrage among, well, pretty much everybody, but it seems it's the animal rights activists who are most offended by her latest fashion experiment.

PETA's president Ingrid Newkirk was quoted as saying: "Lady Gaga's job is to do outlandish things, and this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body.

"No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal.

"Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so if that's the look they were going for—they achieved it."

Ouch! Has she gone too far this time, or is it merely Lady G doing what she does best?

One thing's for sure, there's never a dull moment with Gaga around!

Lady Gaga Channels Lady Liberty!

Lady Gaga as Lady Liberty- Copyright V Magazine

I am loving this new look for Lady Gaga! Not only does she look semi-normal, but it's such a brilliant concept, I have no idea why no-one's thought to do it sooner.

In the pics, shot for V Magazine by legend, Mario Testino, my fave Lady is seen parading around in her undies and with hair modelled to look like Liberty's infamous crown. Genius.

She's also seen being pushed around in a trolley by Marc Jacobs in one shot, with a makeshift torch and very very high shoes.

I suspect these may be the very same shoes which saw Gaga take an embarrassing tumble last month. Now it all makes perfect sense.

Fashion Highlights of the past week

Hello, I’m back! Yes, even Fashion bloggers need a holiday from time to time, so to ease both myself and you back into the swing of things, here’s my fashion highlights from the past week...

Coleen for Littlewoods: The first promo shots of Coleen were released this week, showing her in her new role as a style advisor. I’ve long been a fan of Coleen, but in my view she doesn’t appear to have the pull she once did. Maybe it’s because by showbiz standards she’s been out of the limelight too long, but we’ll see – perhaps she’ll be a big hit. Loving the promo shots at least; damn that girl can dress!

Lady Gaga for Twinings: According to everyone’s favourite celeb blogger, Perez Hilton, Lady Gaga may soon be bringing out her own tea. Locked in a battle with a few major tea companies, Twinings is reportedly the front runner to secure Gaga as a representative. As a major tea drinker myself, I’m pretty darn excited about some designer Gaga tea, how about you?!

Toy Story 3: Great film, hilariously funny and apparently one which bores kids. As I sat choking on my popcorn with laughter this Friday, the ten year old next to me was asking his dad ‘is it over yet!?’ Over?! God, I was hoping it was never going to end- the best in the trilogy by a mile, with plenty of adult humour and amazing animation. Why is it appearing in a fashion blog you ask? One word- Ken; that guy will have you splitting your sides with his fashion antics, and with a wardrobe like his, you can see why Barbie fell for him. Check out Disney's official trailer here...

The Big Bang Theory: A great episode this week, which explained how Leonard became roomies with everyone’s favourite nut, Sheldon. I have to give this a mention, purely for Leonard’s big curly wig and chino pants; hilarious! And if you thought Raj and Wolowitz dressed badly now, this was clearly nothing compared to when they all first met. Wolowitz with an afro and goatee and Raj clearly liked dressing in colourful suits complete with chunky gold jewellery.

Dannii Minogue, Style Queen: Flavour of the moment, Dannii Minogue is soon to appear in her very own fly on the wall reality show on ITV2. The adverts have already started to generate a bit of buzz, as it focuses on the X Factor judge launching her fashion line and preparing for motherhood. More on this when I actually watch it...
