I just love Jake Gyllenhaal, he’s so cute! But who’d have guessed he knows how to cook 
This is an hilarious video excerpt from Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Jake uses the iPad as a chopping board, And then cooks it! Bringing new meaning to “Cooking with the iPad”
Now you wouldn’t catch my boyfriend doing that with my iPad. There would be hell to pay 
Amazing performance from Florence Welch and Dizzee Rascal at the Brit Pop Awards. Astoundingly beautiful contrast of musical styles.
LOL My friend the Gremlin has started a blog – I thought he was going to write about gizmos and gadgets and stuff but the first time blogging experience must have gone to his head! He just can’t stop!
Check his site and leave him a comment I’m sure he’ll appreciate it.
It’s true folks – check this pic of Eva Longoria without makeup!
Loverly!
I’ve found that people love to pick up tabloids that include pictures of stars without makeup. The public has some kind of fascination with seeing stars at their worst. Perhaps it’s because they like to know that without gobs of makeup, the stars don’t look that much better than everyone else.
Many Web sites and magazines feature stars without makeup sections. They present these photos as sort of a “gotcha” to the stars. These shots are taken when stars are walking to the grocery store, leaving the gym or relaxing on the beach. They’re usually taken when the star is puffy or sweaty. The more flaws the camera can expose, the better the picture.
These photos tend to hone in on older stars, such as Goldie Hawn. When these stars are photographed in photo shoots for magazine covers, they look great. They look much younger than they are in real life. Part of this is due to the fact that makeup artists can work wonders on the stars. Also, professional photographers are extremely well versed in hiding flaws and using lighting to make a person look as attractive as possible.
They’re just like us, stars do need makeup just like we do to cover up flaws. They need concealer to cover up facial blemishes such as red spots and zits. It’s amazing to look at the stars without cover-up. Some stars, such as Alicia Silverstone, have moles or warts that are never visible on-screen. However, they stick out like a sore thumb when the star isn’t covered up.
Eye makeup is a great way to accentuate stars’ eyes. Average women also use eye makeup to make their eyes standout. If you look at a star who you’re used to seeing without eye makeup, it’s amazing to see how small her eyes are. Often stars who we consider to have big, beautiful eyes, look like they have beady little eyes.
For many people, it’s nice to know that starts without makeup are just as rough looking as average people without makeup. Next time you see a beautiful star all glammed up, think of stars without makeup and you won’t feel so bad about your own appearance.
I’ve lost count of the number of times my friends have asked me how to become an actress. And the first thing I want to say is don’t believe the hype! It’s not all it’s cracked up to be – It’s HARD WORK! By that I mean it’s hard work to make it, and it’s just as hard to maintain your career once you are at the top. We actresses work long days and nights and there is a lot of time away from family and friends.
That said it can also be fun and the money is good! Not to mention all the people that want to be my friend just because I’m famous!
So here ae my top tips for becoming an actress:

I was hanging out with one of my girlfriends the other day and she has a young boy who is about 10 years old I think. We were just sitting there having a coffee and a chit chat when this young kid comes up and says “Mom I want to be like Michael Jackson – can I get a Michael Jackson costume?”.
I was just blown away, Michael Jackson was an icon of my generation, but sadly I thought he had been almost forgotten in recent years. It seemed the whole world turned their back on him when his life got tough, only to exclaim “Michael was the king of pop!” when he died recently.
I find this attitude troubling, human nature I guess, but still, wouldn’t it have been nice to have shown him how we felt when he was still alive?
Anyway, I couldn’t help myself, I jumped straight online to see if we could find this young man an outfit so he could dress up as his new hero. And low and behold up comes Michael Jackson costumes for kids.
This is going to be one happy kid I can tell you – we ordered right away.
I’m just really happy that the younger generation still love Michael the way some of us always did.
