Apologies...

For the lack of postings recently, I'm preparing for my imminent departure to La La land. I leave on August 30th and should be back to regular posting in about a week. Sorry again.. For now why not visit some of my linked sites?

A Summer Stroll in Ponto Cho

Hisano, a beautiful young maiko from Ponto-cho in her casual daytime yukata, sheilded from the scolding summer sun by a Japanese paper umbrella.


Hisano strolls along the narrow alley known as Pontocho, the second largest traditional entertainment district in Kyoto, after Gion. Running 500 meters (0.3 miles), it is bordered on the east by the Kamo river and the Takase-gawa canal to the west.


A clear sign the summer has come. More than 80 of Pontocho's restaurants, bars, and other establishments set up wooden balconies on stilts over the canal on the west bank of the Kamo River, between Nijo Street and Gojo Street.


The famous Kamo River has been the backdrop of the Geisha and Maiko of Kyoto since the mid 17th century, when the first tea houses of Gion and Pontocho sprang up. Summer is the perfect chance to enjoy dinner by the cool, clear waters of the Kamagawa.


The mountains fade into blue as your eye follows the path of the river downstream, until its hard tell where the mountains end and the clouds begin


Pontocho's mon (crest) adorns the bright red lanterns that line the narrow alleyway, bringing a soft glow to magical evenings among the old buildings, illuminating ephemeral glimpses of geiko and maiko as they disappear into the night. The chidori is a small bird known as a plover, often spotted along the banks of the Kamogawa.

The day of questions

Why is Sienna's arm cut?








Why is Lindsay crying?









I don't have the answers..do you?

I lied...

When I said that the picture of Joss Stone was the worst ever, this pic of Christina Aguilera wins hands down...

Opening of club LAX

Everyone, well everyone worth mentioning was at the opening of DJ AM's new club LAX in L.A., it was a veritable who's who of young Hollywood:

Lindsay Lohan looked skinny

Mischa Barton looked skinnier

Nicole Richie looked skinniest (but kind of good)

Jesse Metcalfe looked like a human "Ken" doll

Wilmer Valderrama was just happy to be invited (why is he still famous?)

Jessica Simpson was unaware of the scary (and shocked) looking man behind her

Kelly Osbourne looked like a fat baby that had found a drag queen's wardrobe

Got Joss?

Joss Stone is the newest celebrity to star in a "got milk?" campaign. This photo may be one of the most unattractive I have ever seen, and not just of Joss, but of anyone. She looks like she got drunk, came home and collapsed on the floor in her basement, reached for a glass of milk, drank some and then realised it was stale. This photo was taken just before she pukes everywhere. Mmmmm sure makes me want milk.

Poor Jude!

Ok, so several of you have emailed me asking if I'm going to put the now infamous nude pics of Jude Law on my site. To be honest I feel kind of sorry for him, to have the world look at you naked is bad enough..but to have bitchy New York journalists making fun of your stuff is even worse. Just read what page six wrote:

In snapshots that recall George Costanza�s infamous �shrinkage� episode on �Seinfeld,� the love-rat actor�s meager manhood is on full display as he changes into a swimsuit outside his mother Maggie Law�s house in Vaudelnay, France.
He�s no Tommy Lee, that�s for sure,� sighed one unimpressed publicist who viewed copies of the paparazzi pix obtained by PAGE SIX.

So, I decided to compromise, I'll post the pics with some slight modifications..that way if Jude Law ever looks at my website the pictures will make him happy and not suicidal, therefore I have put some things that make me happy in the pictures...
Some nice flowers...

A happy unicorn...

A small car full of elves...hooray!


So, if that wasn't good enough you can check out the unedited pics HERE, definately NSFW ..sorry but I'm not about to turn my blog into some sort of British actor brothel..

Madonna Injured! (and today is my birthday)

Ok, so I know I just said I wouldn't be posting today because of MY BIRTHDAY, but I changed my mind..I'm allowed to do that, I'm 21 now.
Anyway, maybe you have heard that TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY, well yesterday was Madonna's, and how did she celebrate? By falling off a horse and breaking her ribs, collarbone and hand. Jesus, it's just like this woman to try and upstage me on MY BIRTHDAY...
All I can say is she shouldn't have been riding a horse in the first place, that's what pretending to be English does...

BritBoy's Birthday!

It's after midnight which means it's officially my 21st birthday!! how scary is that? I already feel older and wiser. I can now officially drink in the US, which means nothing as I have been able to drink here for 3 years...hmmm...so why is 21 supposed to be so monumental again?
Because I probably won't be posting much today I shall let you in on a treat, if a somewhat politically incorrect one. I'm in the party mood and you should be too, so why not visit fatchicksinpartyhats.com? Click the image of the joyful party below to go there. I'm off to spend money I don't have...bye...

Posh does Cavalli

It is rumoured that Victoria Beckham has signed a hefty deal with fashion designer Roberto Cavalli to become the face of his new women's line. Here she is, pictured aboard Cavalli's yacht where she was seen drinking champagne, smoking a cigar and generally looking ridiculous.

Now, I'm no fashion designer but picking someone with a personal sense of style that includes a stetson, cut off studded jacket, large sunglasses and more jewellery than Liberace would not be top of my list.

BritBoy Petition: MAKE LUCY FAMOUS!

Now, this is somewhat of a sore point for me. Lucy Davis formerly of "the office" is beautiful, self-effacing, very very funny and a great actress...so why isn't she more famous? The woman even admitted that when she first came to L.A. people thought she was pregnant because she wasn't stick thin, what makes the story even better is that she went along with it out of embarrasment....love it!
Instead we have Kate Bosworth as an example of acting chops! Please, if Kate Bosworth was stuck on a pirate ship and told to act or be fed to sharks, what would happen? She would die.
What would Lucy Davis do? Probably dazzle them with her talent before distracting them with a hand puppet of her fake baby and pushing the pirates off the ship.
See, that's the difference between stars and wannabes...
....pirate distraction with baby puppets.

Grandma Simpson

When did Ashlee Simpson turn 85? I wish someone had told me, I would have sent her some fudge and an orthopaedic back pillow.

Big Brother ENDS

So, after numerous weeks of bitching, naked jacuzzi-ness, bucking broncos and um...wine bottles...Anthony, the blandest man to ever live won Big Brother 2006. The final between Eugene and Anthony was the closest in the history of Big Brother. I would say that I hate Anthony but that's kind of like saying you hate a potato, I just don't feel strongly enough to dislike him..he's just there....

Makosi should have won, however evil and/or psychologically damaged she was, she made an INCREDIBLE housemate...plus she looked absolutley stunning on eviction night, it's a shame she got booed.

Now I have to find another way to fill my time, no more watching the housemates sleep at 4am while eating honey nut cornflakes....hmmm...

Orl woman

Now, here is a biiig problem with guys that have long hair, I should know as I have the same problem. Orlando has transitioned from looking bohemian to actually looking like a middle aged woman.

More specifically a middle aged Northern woman from Huddersfield...

Called Sheila.

K Fed steps it up a notch

As you can see by these pictures K Fed has taken his "wigga" status to a whole new level by getting braids. It didn't look good on David Beckham and it looks worse on him....

It's kind of like if i started wearing a gold tooth and calling myself Mc Pimp Yo' Ass...

Ridiculous.

Lindsay in London: PERMANENTLY!!!

LINDSAY LOHAN IS MOVING TO LONDON!! According to thesuperficial.com "She wants to spend more time in the city because her favourite clubs are here (Boujis, Prophecy's Kabaret, and Met Bar), She likes the people here ('I don't get as much shit from people in London,' she says. 'Everyone's a little more laid back.'), and the guys are 'hotter' ('Your accents are so hot!)."

So where would she want to live? "Either Notting Hill or Knightsbridge,"

Lindsay will join celebs such as Gwen Stefani, Jude Law, Sienna Miller, and um...Geri Halliwell in the high class enclave of West London. Kind of ironic that she is moving to Notting Hill (where I used to live) and I am moving to L.A.

Ironic...i'm not sure how...but it sounded good...

Here are the previously promised pics of Lindsay on a night out at London nightclub Boujis. You can read the previous Lindsay in London story HERE

Brit Split: Kiera Knightley

Keira Knightley has split with her long term boyfriend of 2 years, Irish model Jamie Dornan. As much as this is bad news for Keira, it's pretty much the best news ever for every other male on the planet. Especially me as my cousin knows her and has agreed to set us up...

When I say my cousin "knows her" I mean more "lives near her and has never spoken to her"

and when I say "set up" I mean "stalk"...

Alexx Jr.

What did I do today? Something that was so vital when I have so many urgent matters to attend to? I bought a doll designed for young children because I thought it looked like me and was wearing a cool t shirt...I am such a 5 year old girl...

When celebrities get fat: Britney Spears

Fat, Pregnant....Whatever....

US TV imports: LOST

I am sooo effing excited, season one of lost premieres in the UK on Wednesday, I have heard so much about this show from my friends in the US..I can't wait to see it! Its kind of annoying that I'll only see about 2 episodes before I leave for L.A. and I'm sure the US is already on like season 37 over there..why is UK TV so behind?

Anyway as I am a complete geek when it comes to all things film and TV I stumbled across a website for the fictional airliner used in Lost (Oceanic Air) There are a couple of surprises and easter eggs if you try hard enough..I'm sure that will keep me occupied until Wednesday.



OCEANIC AIR



PLEASE CAN I ASK THAT NOONE LEAVE ANY COMMENTS THAT COULD BE SPOILERS..I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!

I'm on my way!

The official countdown to my year in L.A has begun! I leave London in three weeks and am completely unprepared..BUT SOOOO EXCITED! I think actually living in L.A. as opposed to flitting back and forth is going to be a huge culture shock..oh well, any wierd and wonderful incidents will be posted here for you all to revel in! It's almost reality TV...without the TV part!

Robin Cook Dies

Former foreign secretary Robin Cook has died aged just 59 after a fall while mountain walking. The Labour MP was walking with his wife and friends along the summit of Ben Stack in the Highlands when he collapsed.

He is thought to have suffered a head injury.Mr Cook's second wife Gaynor tried to resuscitate him for nearly 40 minutes before he was taken by air ambulance�to a hospital in Inverness at around 2.30pm. It is believed she had to ask other walkers to dial 999 for help as they had no means of communication themselves. Mr Cook, MP for Livingston since 1983,�was not breathing when paramedics reached him and was pronounced dead at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness at�4.05pm.
My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family, for the full story click HERE

Brit TV: Big Brother

Ok, so maybe I'm childish but seeing the rather large Kinga trying to hoist herself up onto a bucking bronco on Big Brother was one of THE FUNNIEST TELEVISION MOMENTS I HAVE EVER SEEN!! I actually almost soiled myself...i mean...um...cried laughing...yeah..cried laughing....

For more info on the story click HERE



Also, can someone explain to me why the public chose to save Eugene over Derek??? What the hell has Eugene done? Except be irritating and mind numbingly boring...thats like someone choosing to poke themselves in the eye instead of eat a cake, it makes no sense!

Brit Annoyance: J.K. Rowling

Seriously, I just don't get this woman...she is insanely successful, richer than the Queen (worth over 280 million pounds), has had her imagination brought to life through a film...and yet she constantly looks like someone just ran over her dog.

I swear I have never seen this woman smile...they say money doesn't buy happiness, but 280 BLOODY MILLION DOES...If you can't smile then go and buy a happy person's face and have it grafted over your own. She is partly the reason why I hate Harry Potter, I'm not giving this woman any more money to be grumpy with....geeez..

Brit Shocker: She's BAAAAACK!

Hey guys, you caught me...popping down the road for some milk in my bikini made of candy necklaces...


Of course I'll pose for you, I'm a sweetie...get it?...sweetie? cos I'm wearing sweets...hahahah..I'm so funny.....


Oh my gosh, you didn't need to give me an award for being funny....thanks...you guys are so kind...


Ooops..bit of a candy wedgie.......ooh fizzy...


What can you say? Anyone who wears an entire outift that can be eaten demands some respect...well I'm off to buy a broccoli speedo...
