  LIVE LIKE A CELEBRITY!  

Think its not possible to get that celeb look without spending a small fortune? Well my friends – that’s why we’re here, to show you how to look as fabulous as a celebrity at a fraction of the price.

Check out this photo of the gorgeous Alesha Dixon rocking this leather jersey mini dress from River Island at the Summer Music Live Festival at Sandown Park this weekend.

Not only did she wear the dress to perform at her gig in aid of Hillcroft Colege, she rocked it later on for her night out at Alto nightclub.

At only 49.99 – you too can get the celeb look.

See here for more tips on how to look like a star.

I’m feeling in the mood for a list this morning. Top 5s, Top 10s, Top 100s – love them! (As long as I’m not the person spending hours toiling away to put together the top 100…)

I’ve been inspired by Lily Allen, who hasn’t stopped glowing throughout her pregnancy, to put together a small list of celebrities that dyed their hair blonde then went back to their natural brunette roots.

I personally think Lily looks amazing au naturel as a brunette – way better than when she experimented with a tacky blonde dye.

So here’s a top 5 of celebrities that suit brunette better than blonde:

(1) Lily Allen

Click here to see when Lily was blonde.

(2) Victoria Beckham

Remember when Posh had a blonde bob – click here?

(3) Jordan

We’re not huge fans of her huge extensions right now but it’s way better than her tarty blonde Eurovision look below

(4) Dannii Minogue

She’s the nation’s sweetheart with sleek brunette tresses on our TV screens in  X Factor, but in 1990 she was blonde (and looked a lot worse)

(5) Nicole Richie

The former Simple Life airhead has swapped her former BFF Paris Hilton and her hedonistic partying ways for life as a settled down mother of two. It’s only now she’s ditched the bleach (see the old photos here) that her true beauty shines through.

This play at The Duke of York theatre must have had more celebrities in the audience between now and when it opened in June, than the entire number of famous faces actually on stage in the West End.

Maybe it’s because screaming lets celebrities get over their stressful lifestyles?

Or maybe it’s because it’s written by one of their mates – League of Gentlemen writer Jeremy Dyson?

Either way, click here to see who we recently spotted in the audience.

Shock horror!

Lindsey Lohan’s latest photoshoot is actually good.

Have a gander at the photos here.

In the photoshoot for Vanity Fair, the 24 year old jail bird, who was released from rehab last week, talks about how how she has learn’t from her mistakes and that she had been young and irresponsible when she got done for driving under the influence.

Lets hope she has learnt her lesson.

I just cannot get over how fabulous Gail Porter looks at the age of 39 with her naked body lighting up the houses of Parliament. Click here to see more

It’s got me thinking about other late 30-something / early 40-something stars that look better with age (something that only used to happen to the men in Hollywood)

Cameron Diaz celebrated her 38th birthday this week – click here for photos on Lainey Gossip

Naomi Campbell recently celebrated her 40th while Jennifer Lopez is 41 as is Jennifer Aniston.

Tip Of The Day: Don’t stress about getting older. As these celebs show, just be yourself and it is possible to look fabulous. If you believe you are fabulous then you will be (That’s what I’m telling myself anyway)

Above is gorgeous Gail Porter (with her equally yummy boyfriend Jonny from The Holloways) as you normally see here.

But click here to see some rather sexier photos of her naked on The Houses of Parliament.

Reckon you’ve seen those photos before? Yes, Gail did do the stunt the first time round in 1999 for FHM magazine (aged 28), but she’s re-done it (aged 39) for Now magazine.

And she looks equally stunning and even more womanly than before.

Here’s the front cover of Now – go and buy it to check out the photos in all their glory.

Two bits of exciting news about the next series of Dancing With The Stars – the US version of Strictly Come Dancing.

The series starts on Thursday 23 September and we just cannot wait!

Other names dues to take part include Audrina Patridge (The Hills star), Bristol Palin (politician Sarah Palin’s daughter) and Jennifer Grey (Baby from Dirty Dancing!!!!)

Dirty Dancing and Baywatch stars competing in a dancing show like Strictly – could life get any more camp!

LOVE IT.

Why oh why Abbey?

It seems that Abbey Clancy has taken her love cheat boyfriend back despite the fact he cheated on her with a prostitute.

Peter Crouch was spotted yesterday looking very pleased with himself as he stated:

“We’re ok. She’s let me back in the house and everything is fine between us”

Hmmmm.

He went on:

“She’s a young girl and she gets worried. Things are much better now. Finally things are getting back to normal. It’s not been a great time but we’re moving on – i think that we’re back on track. We’re looking to the future. I love her very much”

How very patronising.

We wonder how long it will be before he is spotted hitting on some other girl.

Pretty sure that Miss Clancy could do WAY better. We just hope that the lanky striker has learnt his lesson.

Watch this space.

Looks like Paris Hilton could be back behind bars in no time after she was arrested in Las Vegas.

The heiress and boyfriend Cy Waits were pulled over by the police after they noticed an odour of marijuana coming from their car.

Police quickly caught sight of a clear baggy in the heiresses handbag which was found to contain 0.8g of cocaine.

If charged, Paris could be looking at a 4 year stretch for cocaine possesssion.

Waits has already been charged with drink driving.

Paris is claiming that the handbag containing the drug was not hers as it was “too cheap” to be owned by her.

No doubt she’ll get 4 years and be out in 4 days!
