Christmas Comes Early to London With Premiere and Lights
Stars of A Christmas Carol Jim Carrey, Colin Firth and Bob Hoskins literally lit up London last night at the world premiere of the film, which they combined with turning on the capital's Christmas lights! They were joined by Jenny McCarthy in a Holiday season appropriate red coat, as well as The Saturdays and The X Factor contestants, who were more popular than the film stars! Olly Murs, Joe McElderry, Danyl Johnson, Jamie Archer, Lloyd Daniels and John and Edward Grimes looked smart in their suits, while Stacey Solomon and Lucie Jones looked lovely in their frocks: FabUK has the lowdown on how to copy Lucie's style.
Does a Big Name Star Increase Your Interest in Panto?
Pamela Anderson stripped down to a Baywatch-style red swimsuit at Richie Rich's catwalk show in Miami Beach yesterday, but she'll be donning a different costume soon as she will be starring in panto this Christmas! She will make her pantomime debut as the Genie of the Lamp in Aladdin at London's New Wimbledon Theatre in December. A high profile celebrity does draw you to the theatre, and now I'd love to know if it has an influence on you in other ways, so vote below to let me know: does a big name star increase your interest in panto?
Did You Receive a Kitchen Gift This Holiday?
This Christmas, did you find the KitchenAid attachment that you've been wanting under the tree? Or perhaps receive the edible gift of your dreams?
Before the holidays, my friend Daisy presented me with some scrumptious peppermint bark, and I was elated!
Off to Market Recap: Christmas Plate
When I was growing up, we had a special Christmas plate that was reserved for serving Santa Claus. Every Christmas Eve, my sister and I would take the pretty plate, place the most perfect cookies on it, and set it out by the tree. To relive old memories, I went looking for the long lost plate.
Royals Celebrate Christmas With Headwear and Facial Hair
Although the female members of the royal family showed off an array of hats on Christmas Day, all eyes were on Prince William's new facial hair: do you prefer him clean shaven or bearded? They gathered for a service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, and while Autumn Phillips and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie all chose low key headgear, Zara Phillips made a more daring choice with her magenta number: do you love or hate it? As so many of us are feeling the affects of the credit crunch, the Queen has reportedly shelved plans to buy a £7million private jet because it would be a "PR disaster".
Group Therapy: Am I a Green-Eyed Monster?
I have been in a serious, monogamous relationship for nearly seven months. Both of us are very much in love, and I have been looking forward to our first holiday season together. For Christmas, he gave me a beautiful paper star lamp that hangs from the ceiling, which I had pointed out to him while shopping this Fall.
