For Missoni Life Is A Scatter Cushion, Literally

MARGHERITA Maccapani Missoni is the “ambassadress” of Italian fashion label Missoni. In an age where no man or woman is an island, rather a nation with ambassadors, we enter the other world inhabited by the Missonis.

Highlights of the interview are:

MMM: “I feel a bit like the keeper of the brand’s essence. It’s difficult to explain in one sentence. I’ve learnt to be a Missoni. It’s something that’s mine, that belongs to me. I’ve grown up seeing the world through those eyes, through an aesthetic.”

Hello!: “Which is why you’ve become the ambassadress, the chosen one…”

MMM: “As for my friends, they were scattered all over the place. But now I’ve got a cushion of friends I can fall back on and bounce off”…

Living among so much soft furnishing can do that to you…

Healthy curves would be the false breasts?

Charlie Sheen’s Cocaine Teeth Give Kacey Jordan A Lift

WHAT news of low-profile-seeking Kacey Jordan, 22, the newest porn star to emerge from Charlie Sheen’s stables? Kacey has news of Sheen’s teeth:

“They’ve fallen out from partying. He kept saying ‘f****** porcelain teeth – they’re c**p’. He said he had to get gold teeth. We all know it’s the drug use.”

And there was us thinking it was typical Hollywood stuff for a star to have fake teeth. We now know that those American smiles are the product of alleged cocaine abuse.

Elton John Show Off Zachary At Gnomeo Premiere: Photos

TO the premiere of Gnomeo and Julie (it is as it sounds – gnome meets lover; gnome losers lover; gnome impales himself on fishing rod barb). The film is produced by news dads Elton John and David Furnish, they of the censored sperm shake. This might well be the future for Elton.

New celebrity mums and dads are fond of turning their soft hands to the creative arts and bringing us ranges of clothing and books so that we plebs can dress our sprogs like better looking and more talented babies. We can read our kidzzz the same stories, perhaps while impersonating the famous writer and thus increase the chance, however miniscule, that our child will not grow up to resent our inability to get them record deal and a modelling contract with Chanel.

Katie Price Sleeps With A Minder To Keep Alex Reid Away: Inflatable Doll On Stand By

KATIE Price was so desperate not to dry hump Alex Reid that she ordered a security guard to sleep across her bedroom door and so bar the Walking Toffee Crisp from gaining entry.

It’s a wonderful tableau. We see the ambulatory cross-dressing night light pacing the halls, desperate to feel the hard chill of his wife’s body. We see Jordan in her bed. From outside her boudoir, a neon strip of orange light seeps out.

A cry breaks the tension. It’s Princess TenaLadyMe, Katie’s daughter. She wants her mummmmeeeeeeeeiii. Will Katie dare to open the door, so affording Reid a window of opportunity for a quick cuddle, or maybe even a spooning?

Coronation Street: Samia Smith And Will Thorp Star In Tabloid Masterclass

CORONATION STREET stars Samia Smith and Will Thorp are reported to be in a romance. It’s front-page news in the NoTW, which has been sitting on the story for a month. The story began with the Sun saying Thorpe was “comforting” Smith. They had formed a “solid relationship”.

Now we learn:

“She is smitten with him and he is obsessed with her. They believe they will be together forever.”

Is that right? Do two actors who have been married and parented children think they will together forever? Did they say that? No. Because none of the players will talk to the tabloid, all we have is an unnamed “source”.

Our Corrie source said: “They left their partners and within weeks admitted they were a couple. But both are adamant that nothing went on between them until after they had left their families. There are three young children involved in all of this and it is so sad.”

Katie Price Moves For Regime Change in Retail: Victoria Beckham Revolted

“JORDAN V Posh – IT’S WAR.” So declares the Daily Star, choosing to ignore the brewing conflict in Egypt and focus on affairs closer to home.

The domino effect in the Middle East may crash into the domino from East Sussex and meet in a huge tsunami of silicon breast milk. What news of the Tangerine Revolution?

Barbara Streisand’s Home Shopping Mall: Photos

BARBRA Streisand’s home features shops. Yeah, Barbara Streisand is Emily from Bagpuss.

Of course, this being Malibu, California, Streisand very possibly has her own cash for her own shops; currency that, given the strength of the dollar, might well be the new benchmark of value.

Cheryl Cole’s Tattoos: Nation’s Sweetheart Becomes Mrs Colewort (Photos)

CHERYL Cole wants to show you her new tramp stamp tattoo, a new version of her old tramp stamp tattoo. News is that the new version will link up with a tattoo that wraps about Cole’s thigh. It might then be linked to that “Mrs Cole” tattoo that sits on the back of Cheryl’s neck, the one that provided reassurance to former husband Ashley Cole in yoga class and other doggy pursuits.

It’s a huge media debate.

The Sun hears from Dr Sean Lanigan, who sees a scare story. You should not copy Cheryl Cole:

BRITAIN is facing a tattoo timebomb as more women than ever decide to copy stars like Cheryl Cole by “getting inked”…

So think carefully or you could add weight to the old saying: “Tattoo in haste, repent at leisure”.

That old saying sounds a lot like a new saying.

Chantelle Tagoe’s Louboutin Museum Is A Sign Of The Armageddon

CHANTELLE Tagoe dates Emile Heskey, Midlands football’s transferrable battering ram. Their home boasts an air hockey table, six bedrooms and a “football area”.

But Tagoe particularly likes her walk-in wardrobe and dressing room “with brown snakeskin-effect walls and cubby holes so that Chantelle can showcase her extensive collection of handbags and shoes.”

Showcase to OK! magazine and the coachloads of tourists who pass through her dressing of a given afternoon.

Says Chantelle of her collection:

“Louboutins are like pieces of art on your feet!”

You can get the same effect by wearing Anorak’s Tate Modern entry Vomit In Sock, or doodling a picture of a dead shark on your Converse, or wearing two dead sharks – one on each foot; or two on one foot to be really edgy. (If you can’t find sharks use battered cod.)

Elton John’s Gay Family Photos Censored By Anti-Gay Christians In Arkansas

ELTON John and David Furnish’s baby Zachary is not acceptable viewing for the people of a Harps supermarket in Mountain View, Arkansas. The US magazine in which they showcase their child to the planet has been encased in a protective sheath, known locally as a “family shield“.

So, who are the leaders of Harps?

Kim Eskew, President & COO:

Kim and his wife Karen live in Springdale and are members of First Baptist Church of Springdale.

The church is part of the Southern Baptist Convention.

The church believes that:

Homosexual is a chosen behavior not a discovered sexual orientation.

A child is set up as a result of poor parenting to make them more likely to choose to become homosexual.

Homosexuals can convert to heterosexuality through prayer, becoming saved.

The Justin Bieber Doll Is All Dolls To All People: Photos

YOU can buy a singing Justin Bieber dolly. Toy Justin doesn’t weep, pray, eat and poop, but it does sing One Less Lonely Girl when you press a button on his face.

Younger fans will like waving it; older fans will like waving it; dogs will enjoy chewing it; perverts will enjoy keeping it in the box in the hope that one day it is collectable and becomes worth actual money; boys will get pins and ram them into Justin’s puppy dog eyes.

Was Piers Morgan Right About British Soldiers Abusing Iraqi Prisoners?

PIERS Morgan, currently on US TV knocking them dead with his interviewing on CNN,, is the subject of a correction from the Associated Press:

In a Jan. 6 story, The Associated Press reported CNN anchor Piers Morgan’s claim that his interview with then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown turned the tide of Gordon’s election campaign in his favor. While Brown got a boost in the polls after the interview, the story should have noted that he subsequently lost the 2010 election to a Conservative Party-led coalition.

One thing not being apologised for is Morgan’s relationship with thefake” photos of Iraqi prisoners being abused by British soldiers that hastened his exit from the Daily Mirror.

Kevin Smith Buys Red State: Stoned Masturbating Demographic Waits For Download

KEVIN Smith bought his film Red State for $20. He is now in control of the marketing  – see stories about his buying own film for $20.

Says Smith:

I never wanted to know jack shit about business. I’m a fat, masturbating stoner. That’s why I got into the movie business. I thought that was where fat, masturbating stoners went. And if somebody had told me at the beginning of my career, you’re going to have to learn so much about business, finance, amortization, all that shit, monetization, I would have been like, ‘Fuck it. I’m just going to stay home and masturbate. That’s too much work, man.’ It took seven years for Clerks, a movie that cost $27,575, to go into profit.

He makes a point well. The film industry so so laughably earnest. The televised AGMs are moribund and cheesy; the film industry gongs are given out with a gravitas and sense of worthiness the Three Wise Men would have found ” a bit much”.

WHEN Hello! asked: “Has Kate [Winslet] stuck up a new romance with Orlando?”, we met Orlando Searle. A photo of the actor showcased a hirsute man with a future as Sean Connery’s stunt chest. But Hello’s source had eyes only for the dinner Winslet was eating in his company at a “cosy lunch”:

“Kate enjoyed oysters and a chocolate fondant dessert – she was eating the food of love.”
