	Wednesday, January 31, 2007 Fan captures Pete's drug issue on cell cam Pictures captured on a mobile phone purport to show the rocker hasn't learnt from his mistakes... Pete Doherty has landed himself at the centre of a shocking new drugs claim. Images published in today's Sun (January 31) show the Babyshambles frontman allegedly shooting up cocaine in a Thai hostel - just two days after his Buddhist "marriage" to Kate Moss. Pete is said to have injected himself three times with the Class A drug before going on the hunt for heroin. The sensational video footage was captured on the mobile phone of Australian fan, Jess Lea. Lea says she and two female friends spotted the rocker walking into a chemist to buy needles and syringes on the island of Phuket at the beginning of this year, and asked him to their hostel for a party. However, when Pete began injecting the drugs the fan said she started to worry. "He asked us if we minded. Initially we were like, 'OK, go for it,' but as time went on we began to get nervous," she said. Lea claims the singer was also on the receiving end of numerous frantic calls from girlfriend Kate - also on the island - but could only respond "What's the matter? I love you." As Pete reportedly became increasingly out of it, Lea said the girls decided to take him back to his hotel. "When we got him downstairs, he asked the man on reception where he could score some heroin," she said....Sources: MTV.uk posted by Niko @ 7:37 AM 0 comments Permalink The Police reunite to play The Grammys After much speculation of a possible reunion, fans will no longer have to wait to see the Police reunite on stage in a "must see" television event.

"Now through the democracy of the Internet, we can provide a front row seat for everyone," the 72-year-old Italian said in a statement. The Armani Prive display capped a week of extravagant catwalk shows, signalling the start of a frenzied campaign by top fashion houses to dress Hollywood stars for the Oscars. Australian actress Cate Blanchett, nominated for Best Supporting Actress, was flown in by private jet from New Orleans - where she is filming alongside Brad Pitt - especially for the show, which was followed by a gala dinner. Moments after she swept into the Museum of Modern Art, where the event was being staged, the lights went down and images of models in outfits studded with Swarovski crystals were broadcast to the world via Microsoft Corp.'s MSN and Cingular cellphones. Though the show was unusually heavy on daytime clothes, there were some standout red carpet ensembles, including a full-skirted cream organza gown with a fringed bodice and diamante trim that looked like it was designed with the blonde, fair-skinned Blanchett in mind. Asked if she would wear Armani on Oscars night, Blanchett told The Associated Press: "I haven't decided yet, but I think everything here is extraordinary." Her presence almost overshadowed that of fellow star Katie Holmes, who famously wore Armani for her wedding last year to Tom Cruise...Source: Globe and Mail posted by Niko @ 7:30 AM 0 comments Permalink Jean Paul Gaultier turns from Madonna to the Madonna PARIS: The brief couture season moved from showmen to poets on Wednesday. And nowhere was this change of bleeding red heart more evident than at Jean Paul Gaultier. The self-styled bad-boy designer moved from dressing Madonna to dresses inspired by the Madonna, including one with blood-red chiffon trickling over a black dress. "Celestial and a certain serenity," Gaultier said backstage, explaining how, after the ready-to-wear razzmatazz celebrating his 30th anniversary, he wanted to find peace. Until that 1980s Madonna classic "Like a Virgin" came up on the finale soundtrack, the show was not even a pastiche of the maidenly sweetness it presented. Instead the models came out in softly draped dresses, radiating calm - not least from the halos that framed their faces and were miracles of invention: translucent circles, gilded spikes, red roses and votive pictures. Gaultier may have tapped the burlesque performer Dita Von Teese to inject her Gothic glamour, but for a designer who once traded in sex, androgyny and provocation, this show was womanly grace incarnate....Source: International Herald Tribune posted by Niko @ 7:06 AM 0 comments Permalink Tuesday, January 23, 2007 and the Nominees are...

While husband David has been sorting out his £125million move to LA Galaxy, she has been busy finalising a megabucks deal of her own - to produce a range of top-notch accessories. Mum-of-three Victoria, 32, will put her name to a range of suitably Posh shoes and handbags that will be sold in exclusive boutiques across America, such as LA's Kitson. The US deal - for a separate collection of glamorous day and evening totes - is worth £5million. That is on top of the millions raked in by her best-selling range of denims and her sunglasses lines. A well-placed source says: "Victoria's a real stickler for detail so everything will be perfect. Her shoes will be as sexy as Christian Louboutin's - there's a huge buzz about them over here." Victoria, who already designs a hit range of bags in Tokyo with Samantha Thavasa, celebrated the new deal by taking her good friend Katie Holmes for a slap-up dinner at LA's The Ivy on Tuesday night. Our spy adds: "Katie was so thrilled for Victoria. The move to LA may seem like it's all about David's career but she isn't resting on her laurels. "Her fashion projects were going great guns in Europe. And to have landed such a major US deal before she and her family have even moved there is amazing. And it'll open doors to other great things. Her A-list pals will be seen wearing her designs so a clothes range is a natural progression." Since arriving in LA last week, Posh has also been busy house-hunting. She has inspected a number of swish, multi-million pound properties ahead of her and David's move across the Pond this summer. And she has also been checking out prospective schools for Brooklyn, who will be eight in March - her other sons Romeo and Cruz are still pre-school age.
