RIP Robin Gibb [1949-2012]

May 21, 2012

A bit too young for Robin, Barry and Maurice when they were in their prime but I loved the Bee Gees! Saturday Night Fever wouldn’t be the same without the music of the Bee Gees.

Robin died of colon and liver cancer. He recently had intestinal surgery and had been in a coma prior to his death.

BUNDCHEN/BRADY WATCH: Met Gala 2012; Kentucky Derby

May 9, 2012

oh to be the Bundchen/Bradys with homes in Boston, New York and California.

On Monday, Tom Brady [sporting a side faux-hawk] and Gisele Bundchen attended the Met Gala 2012. Brady wore Tom Ford and Gisele wore a sleek black gown from Givenchy. I’m not a fan of Gi’s hair all slicked back.

Tom and his go-to WR Wes Welker hit the Kentucky Derby. I picked the winning horse, I’ll Have Another. I wonder how the guys fared.


The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet: TV review

April 24, 2012

Created by Amanda de Cadenet and executive-produced by Demi Moore, The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet utilizes a casual format which evokes a girlfriends chit-chatting setting. In the first episode, de Cadenet speaks with Jane Fonda, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Silverman and Zoe Saldana. Fonda talks about marriage and intimacy issues. Paltrow discusses how the death of her father, Bruce Paltrow, profoundly affected her. Both Paltrow and de Cadenet open up about post-partum depression. Silverman addresses boundaries and being a strong woman in a male-dominated industry. Saldana focuses on body image.

Amanda de Cadenet showcases her natural skill as an interviewer. She’s adept at eliciting truthfulness and emotions from others. She’s not just a model/ photographer/ pretty face who can read lines off a teleprompter. She’s the real deal. Amanda de Cadenet has smarts and life experience to share with other women. She’s self-effacing—rather cutely obsessed with her post-pregnancy lopsided breasts—and charming. Amanda de Cadenet is a true delight that soaks in the spotlight without overshadowing anyone else.

In future episodes de Cadenet will interview more famous and influential women, including: Lady Gaga; Miley Cyrus; Eva Longoria; Kelly Preston; Alicia Keys; Senator Kristen Gillibrand [D, NY]; Ivanka Trump; Donna Karan; Gabby Sidibe. The show also features “Women on the Street” segments where de Cadenet asks a variety of women questions about body image, relationships and other women’s issues and concerns. The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet is an engaging and illuminating show with some of our favorite entertainers.

The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet premieres Thursday, April 26 at 11pm ET/PT on Lifetime

BUNDCHEN/BRADY WATCH: Gisele in Jamaica

November 2, 2011

Gisele and little Benjamin took in some sun and hit the waves in Jamaica.

love this recent quote from Gisele: “My children, they are like white canvases. When Benjamin eats broccoli, he thinks it’s dessert.”

she also said this:
“I’m not afraid of working hard at anything, whatever it is. I just always want to be the best that I can. People think if you look after yourself you’re being selfish, you know.

“But what Tom taught me – and he is a living example of this – is that in order to be your best, you have to honour your own needs first.

“If I honour my needs first, I will be the best wife, the best mum, the best sister, the best friend. I have to come first, because then everyone benefits.”

Gisele took a walk with Benjamin along the Charles river recently.

Gisele recently caught a lucky break when she was pulled over in Cape Cod for going 70 mph in a 55 zone.

“[The state trooper] did give her a warning and let her go on her way,” State Police spokesman David Procopio told the Boston Herald. “He reminded her that the speed limit on the Cape is 55, not 65 as it is in other parts of the state.”

and Tom’s hair? [I like his hair any way]
“I don’t take it too seriously,” he told WWD of his hair while hosting an Ermenegildo Zegna party at Boston’s Copley Place on Tuesday. “I just like to change it up.”
