Designer Jacket...


To help celebrate Puffin's 70th birthday, the publishing giant has enrolled 6 of Ireland's and Britain's most talented artist to create 6 jackets for some of Puffin's most well know books.

The books are; The Secret Garden, with a beautiful cut-out cover by artist Lauren Child (above); Little Women with a cover by artist Orla Kiely; James and the Giant Peach redesigned by legendary sculptor Antony Gormley; Oliver Twist created by pop artist Sir Peter Blake, Treasure Island by Frank Gehry and Around the World in Eighty Days by architect David Adjaye.

At 100 quid a pop you'd want to be a serious book lover to collect the whole set...

2 Hurts are beating together...



Manchester duo Hurts have covered Kylie Minogue's classic epic ballad Confide In Me, oddly enough not for Radio One's Live Lounge, but The Sun's Biz Sessions, whatever the hell that is. Either way I wont complain, its a brilliant cover.

Really Loving Hurts' album at the moment, especially their track with Kylie, Devotion. Its a very big pop epic record, very Impossible Princess Kylie. Looking forward to hearing more from the boys.

I've got some news for you...


Eight industrial robots, on loan from Audi's production line, will feature in Outrace, a major installation for this year's London Design Festival
Both visitors to Trafalgar Square and users of the project's website will be able to 'take control' of the 1200kg robots, which each have a reach of over three metres. Users will be asked to submit short text messages which the robots will 'write' using light heads from Audi cars attached to their arms (as shown in the image above from testing at Audi's HQ in Germany).
As is the case with all such installation-based projects, the activity will be documented to be experienced second-hand by a far larger potential audience. "As a user’s message is drawn, the light trace will be simultaneously recorded through a system of high definition, long-exposure cameras, encoded as a video and relayed back to be shared across social media," we are promised in the promotional material for the event.
The project is the brainchild of KRAM/WEISSHAAR, artists Reed Kram and Clemens Weisshaar.
Outrace will be on from September 16 to 23.


This is such a wonderful idea, can't wait to go down to Trafalgar Square to check these bad boys out...

And just because I Love her, heres a little Robyn.

And the Emmy Goes to...

Who cares about the awards, we just want to know "Who are you Wearing?"


Anna Paquin & Husband Stephen Moyer both in Alexander McQueen. Anna I love you. I loved you in Fly Away Home, and in X-Men, and I love that your name is Anna like Anna Wintour and I mostly Love that you Love to wear Alexander McQueen dresses every chance you get. But Anna, this dress don't fit. And its such a beautiful dress, but even that can distract from the fit on the bust. Still, A for effort.


Claire Danes in Armani Prive with (Husband? Are they married?) Hugh Dancy. Its pretty typical dress for Claire, but hell, if it works stick with it...


Amy Poehler in Max Azria & Husband Will Arnett. Love these two, honestly I could never have a bad word to say about Leslie Knope & G.O.B Bluth


Emily Blunt in Christian Dior with Husband John Krasinski. Could Emily have picked a better accessory than John, love him. She looks well too...


Mariska Hargitay in Vera Wang. Did you know that Mariska is the daughter of Jayne Mansfield, amazing right? Anyways Mariska is making her mother proud tonight, she looks great.


Rose Byrne in Gucci. Don't hate it, just seen it before. Like a million other times.


Keri Russell in Vintage Scherrer. Happy Dress. Sad Face. They don't mix well.


Jane Krakowski in Escada. Jenna Maroney (or Elaine Vassel, depending how old you are) you've never looked better.

Susan Sarandon in DKNY, this is probably what Christina Hendricks will look like in 30 years if shes lucky


Tina Fey in Oscar De La Renta. This is the best she has looked in a long time, much better than her Zac Posen disaster anyways...


Glee's Lea Michelle also on ODLR. I like the hair and make-up, not so crazy about the gown

Kim K in Marchesa. I love it, and I have no problems admitting it. Kim looks great.


Kelly Osbourne in Tony Ward Couture. She looks fucking amazing here, the dress is stunning on her, and her new figure, the hair is one colour for once and looks great, and overall I have to say she just looks healthy, thats the best way you can look. So much better than the model!


I wish Sue had Seen how terrible the skirt on that dress looks, seriously its like a sleeping bag...


Oh Heidi, you're a mother of four in your 40s, please came it down a bit, about 4 inches to be exact...



January Jones in Altilier Versace. You are on Mad Men woman, step your game up & stop playing dress up!


Now THIS is called stepping your game up. Elizabeth Moss in Zac Posen. Flawless. The fit, the hair & makeup, the confidence, all perfect. Best Dressed in my opinion.


Glee's Dianna Argon in Carolina Herrera. Its a sad dress. That is all.


BOOM BOOM. I love Modern Family's Sofia Vergara, and she looks smokin' in her Carolina Herrera gown, see Dianna, now this is how you wear a Herrera.


Eva Longoria in Robert Rodriguez. Yeah I had to google it twice cause I was sure they meant to say Narciso, but yeah, apparently there is a designer called Robert Rodriguez. Anyways I dont hate the dress, I just hate that Eva is wear it, it looks like a cheap Marchesa knock off that she usually wears on the red carpet.


Christina Hendricks in Zac Posen. I LOVE Christina, but I am not feeling the shape, colour or them tacky feathers on this dress.


Heather Morris in Ina Soltani. She looks fucking fierce, this is how you do Hollywood glamour. Its probably the only time we'll ever see a girl named Brittany on the best dressed list.


Any how could we have an Emmy post without Betty White. How can you not love a sassy old broad...

Can you believe the Simple Life was on 7 years ago! I remember ordering the DVD of CDwow.com (remember that site? Cheap CDs sent from Thailand!) and pretending to be sick so I could stay home and watch it, it really was the best of times. 

And look at Nicole, she kinda reminds of The City's Roxy Olin in this clip, who would have thought in 7 years she'd be married with 2 kids.

 As for Paris, well she's still being arrested. Bless her heart.

Sing it with me nah - SAH NAH SAHHH, SAH NAH SAH, SAH SAH SAH!
