Coco Austin Photos Shame Those Vacant Page Three Girls

COCO Austin, Anorak’s Woman of the Year 2010 – now for 2011! – continues to show the Sun’s Page 3 and all other organs of tabloid titillation that the web leads the way in matters of the hearts. While the Sun slaps jarring bon mots on economical and ecumenical matters and noble quotes into their speech bubble mouths, causing the women to look vacant and robotic, mere narcissistic reflections of self-aggrandizing  male desires, Coco is all woman. Twitter is her medium. She’s more engaging than a toilet at a cystitis convention. Coco speaks for herself. This is her latest work…

Billy Bragg Is the Big House Boy From Burton Bradstock

BILLY Bragg, the “big-nosed boy from Barking”, is the voice of socialism in Burton Bradstock, west Dorset. Bragg’s home is a grand £1.5 million house by the sea. Singing about working on the line with the common man pays better than actually working on the line.

But all is now happy. Bragg is the target of a hate mail campaign. Person or persons want him out of the village. Bragg blames the Tories, for the “powerless ranting of a bitter individual who is angry that, even in a sleepy village like ours, people reject the politics of racism”.

But all we see is a bloody big house.

Blaxploitation Films: A Gallery Of Film History

BLAXPLOITATION films of the 1970s showed black people on the big screen as the stars of the show. The working class characters were larger than life. The films were cheap to make, and with their lurid colours, confused plots, clownish costumes, absurd lines and jarring scene changes they looked it. Jim Brown, Richard Roundtree, Vonetta McGee and Pam Grier (NSFW) were big names in the movies. The women were gorgeous, feisty and sexy. The men were muscular and tough.

You might wonder why the word “exploitation” was used to describe such films as Black Dynamite, Blacular and Shaft. The films starred a black cast. But were they exploitative? No. They gave black stars a chance to perform and entertain. Blacks got to see people who looked like them being something more than a wise maid or a magical fool.

Frankie Sandford Linked To Man City Player: The Saturdays’ Professional Lover At Large

Ashton Kutcher’s Six Pack And Demi’s Crotch Pelt Will Save Mankind

ASTON Kutcher lets readers of the February issue of Men’s Health know that his six-pack is there to save Demi Moore (and her wrap-around pelt) in a post-apocalyptic struggle for survival. Only the fittest and most photogenic will survive.

“People’s alarm systems at their homes will no longer work. Neither will our heating, our garbage disposals, hot-water heaters that run on gas but depend on electricity – what happens when all our modern conveniences fail? I’m going to be ready to take myself and my family to a safe place where they don’t have to worry. I’m telling you, it was like a preview [of what’s to come]… All of my physical fitness regimen is completely tailored around the end of day. I stay fit for no other reason than to save the people I care about.”

Daniel Craig And Rachel Weisz’s Real Life Dream House Romance: Photos

ARE Daniel Craig and actress Rachel Weisz at it? The NoTW says the actors are embroiled in “secret romance”. So secret is it that the stars of the big screen are in Dorset (sources suggest The Pavilion in Milborne Wick).

where they have “strolled to a country pub where they snuggled together in front of the fire for a Christmas Eve drink”.

Warmly wrapped in thick coats, scarves and wellies – and with their faces almost hidden under sunglasses and woolly hats – they held hands and occasionally clung on to each other as they gingerly manoeuvred their way down icy lanes.

Natalie Portman Smells Of Vegan And Dior Fur

NATALIE Portman, star of Black Swan and an all round babe, is the new face of Miss Dior perfume. Nice work. Only, Portman is a vegetarian activist. And she does not use animal products, like fur and leather:

I’m often interrogated about being vegetarian (e.g., “What if you find out that carrots feel pain, too? Then what’ll you eat?”).

She tells InStyle magazine:

One of the things that’s been so nice is that Dior made all of the shoes for me with no animals and no leather or anything because I don’t wear any leather… They remade all my shoes so I can wear Dior shoes without taking lives.

Phew! Good job Dior never stuck her in its fur range. Still, Portman agonised:

It was definitely a war inside my head for a long time and finally, I was like, we can actually do something very positive with this, especially given the kind of company Dior is, which is truly elegant.”

Smell that, readers? Now that’s a perfume…

er new set of animal-rights ethics:

“One of the things that’s been so nice is that Dior made all of the shoes for me with no animals and no leather or anything. They remade all of my shoes so I can wear Dior shoes without taking lives.”

One of the reasons the 29-year-old beauty decided to work with Dior was because they share the same ethics as her.

She said: “It was definitely a war inside my head for a long time and finally, I was like, we can actually do something very positive with this, especially given the kind of company Dior is, which is truly elegant.”

You won’t find many diehard fashionistas argue with that. But it must have been quite a feat to convince John Galliano to remake everything with vegan-approved materials, considering what he sent down his runway this year. Let’s just say it’s not the type of company a true vegan would associate with. Especially when the activist in question has compared eating meat to rape.

But don’t take my word for it. Consider Style.com’s narrative of Dior’s Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection:

After Karlie Kloss had swept on, swirling a brown leather highwayman’s cape over a ruffled pink chiffon dress and brown thigh boots, the narrative was established: This was to be a brisk albeit slightly perfunctory trot around the circuit of Galliano’s longtime favorite eighteenth-century redingote shapes, hacking jackets, and jodhpurs, interspersed with many more of the little chiffon dresses. …

As the show took a detour into citified country clothes—checked wool pencil skirts, baker boy caps, and a blanket coat in mohair—it was the knitwear that ended up commanding the most attention. This is, after all, the season where unexpected ways of knitting have been a focal point in such influential collections as Prada and Dolce & Gabbana. Dior’s answers were a cream oversize cardigan-coat, threaded through with blue satin ribbon, and two lacy raschel-knit dresses.

The whole impression? Item by item, there was plenty to go on, from the furs—treated to a new technique that mimics dressy layered frills, edged with an eyelash fringe—to the heavily reiterated thigh boot to the dirty-pastel georgette evening gowns.

Leather, silk chiffon, wool, mohair, and fur — it takes imagination to incorporate that many animal products in one collection. Not to mention that Christian Dior Beauty — which manufactures the very perfume that is lining Natalie Portman’s pockets — is on animal-rights group’s Uncaged U.K.’s boycott list for its policy of testing on animals. In all, Dior sounds like PETA’s worst nightmare. And it would be Natalie’s as well if she could only see around those dollar signs that are clouding her vision.
