Backstage at Alex Perry

Backstage at Alex Perry

It’s doubtful there was ever any real danger of Alex Perry going all introvert on us. The man likes to bring it. But this (oh my!) is something else. Epic doesn’t cover it.

We’re in a soundstage at Fox Studios so big it would intimidate your average aircraft hangar. The security guys are easily the gnarliest of the week. And when the rev of a squadron of Parlux hairdryers crashes into a danced-up Blondie beat, I can tell you: it’s bloody loud.


Kim Cattrall gets the chop

Kim Cattrall gets the chop

The Sex and the City 2 star unveiled a brand new ’do at the Tokyo premiere this week. Kim cast aside the 40s-style loose waves she’s been favouring of late for a sleek, sophisticated bob that’s positively – dare we say – Anna Wintour-esque.
Abbey Lee Kershaw has also taken from Anna’s signature bob for her new look, unveiled in the current edition of Vogue Nippon. The eye-scraping fringe is there, but the length hits her shoulders, making it softer and more youthful.
The Aggy has been the most requested cut for a while now – could this season be all about The Anna?

Natalie Portman has finally yielded to (what we can only imagine to be) relentless wooing from the big beauty brands to sign her as an ambassador.
With her impeccable pedigree – beauty, elegance, style and talent – and firm A-list standing, Dior have certainly scored a coup signing her as the new face of Parfums Christian Dior.
Natalie is no stranger to an all-star cast, and this new role places her among the likes of Dior fragrance faces such as Charlize Theron, Sharon Stone, Monica Bellucci and Jude Law.

Charlize Theron : on the red carpet

Charlize Theron : on the red carpet

When you look at Charlize on the red carpet, she always shines so bright. One word that comes to mind when you see her on the red carpet is “grace”. She indeed has the body of a goddess and her style is very unique yet sexy. Charlize Theron grew up on a farm outside Benoni, South Africa, as the only child. She got an education as a ballet dancer and has danced both the "Swan Lake" and the "Nutcracker Suite". There wasn't much for a young actress or dancer to do in South Africa, so she soon traveled to Europe and United States of America, where she got job at the Joffrey Ballet in New York. She was also able to work as a photo model. However, an injured knee put a halt to her dancing career. At the age of 18, her mother made her go to Los Angeles to try a career in the movie industry. She came to Los Angeles without knowing anyone in the city but after two weeks when she was standing in line on Hollywood Boulevard an agent gave her his card. After eight months in Los Angeles she got her first part. Since then, she has taken acting lessons and her career has skyrocketed, most lately in The Devil's Advocate.

It debuted at number one on the Billboard charts and included the hits "Déjà Vu", "Irreplaceable" and "Beautiful Liar". Her third solo album I Am... Sasha Fierce, released in November 2008, included the anthemic "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)."

Kylie: I’ve never had surgery

Kylie Minogue has revealed the secret behind her taut, wrinkle-free face, and before you jump to conclusions (we know what you’re thinking!) it is nothing more a Ponds Cold Cream, which sells for under $7 in UK supermarkets. In a recent interview Kylie, who turns 42 this week, denies ever having a facelift and says: “I’ve been honest about the fact that I did use Botox. But I don’t any more, I won’t go near it. I have lines. You can see the lines on my face.”
