David and Victoria Expand Brand Beckham!

POW! Goldenballs hits it in the net again and good old (Posh)Spice is up the duff once more! They announced the news via Facebook (natch) and are now the purveyors of the biggest celeb news story for 2011 so far. How do they do it? Goal scoring, selling perfumes, endorsing all kindsa ish, giving good face, FIERCE design lines, partying with the Cruises and the Smiths- phew. I salute this couple for finding the time to rock the boat and make a fourth addition to their troupe of children. Especially as Victoria said last year the couple had no plans to expand the brand. Maybe they wanted to give that elusive baby girl one last shot?
So many questions...Can David get away with long bangs in the delivery room? Elton or Obama for Godfather? Can Posh push this time? Will they finally get a girl? Will they christen the new baby Manhattan? Or pay homage to LA and call the bambino Beverly or Rodeo (as in Drive not yee haa!) Maybe Spur- after all Becks is set to come back to the UK and play for Tottenham. Answers on a postcard...

Eat Jerk Chicken Like a RockSTAR

So, ambling around Shepherd's Bush (post a Westfield splurge) I was feeling a little peckish and stumbled upon this lovely little West Indian Food Restaurant. But this wasn't just any place to get your fix of saltfish and jerk chicken. Its a celeb haven! Any music star worth their salt who visits the UK (or lives in it)and has a craving for Caribbean heads to Ochi's. We spoke to the owner who proudly reeled off his celeb patrons "everyone come's here, Rihanna, Amy Winehouse, Alesha Dixon, Sisqo! They love the food. I guess they just tell each other about the place!"

The Camera Shy Shop Owner






One of the wall's in the restaurant is covered in picture's from satisfied celebs who had a finger licking time in the restaurant including Beverly Knight, r&b singer Jaheim, reggae star Sizzla, The Sugababes and of course Rihanna. But what did the good girl gone bad chow down on? "I can't reveal that!" chuckled the owner "she's been coming here since she was a pickney(child)and nobody looked at her twice. But since she did that Umbrella song she comes here and all you get are papparrazzi and young boys geting excited trying to take her picture- she alway's keeps her hoodie on..." Hoodie up, sipping on red stripe and tearing off chunks of chicken- Ri-Ri is a girl after our hearts!

The Celeb Splattered Wall














We had saltfish, jerk chicken and some hard food. Follow suit...it tasted.... KAPOW!

Minxy Make -Up Artist Vanessa Guallar!

When I had the chance to meet superstar make up artist Vanessa Guallar I jumped at it! She's painted many famous faces including Uma Thurman, Kelly Brook and Ashton Kutcher. She's originally from Spain but her career has taken her from the UK to the USA and further. And not only is she handy with putting together the perfect colour palette for celebs she's created a make up line in conjunction with Boots N17. "Sit down darling, wow you look ah-mazing!" That's the first thing Vanessa says when I meet her. Love her already.

So tell us about your new line?
Well its the Starry Eye's Collection for Boots No17. Its coming out later on this year just ahead of Christmas- its fabulous!

Sounds exciting! So what makes it different?
Well the main thing is that it enables you to create a sophisticated smokey eye. It comes with instructions and a varied colour palette.

Whats the secret to a perfect smokey eye?
Its important to use some colour when you create a smokey eye. Its not all about just piling black eyeshadow on! You need to keep building the colours slowly don't start with black! That's what this new collection teaches you. Not to be afraid and to build a look that's glamour to the extreme! And although the collection comes out for Christmas, you can recycle it because its not just a make up kit for winter- its for every season!

You've made up tons of stars can you name a few!?
Oh gosh, erm- Kelly Brook, Myleene Klass, Denise Van Outen, Uma Thurman and Ashton Kutcher!

Wow! Thats a lot- whose your fav?
[Laughs]I don't have favourites I love them all! But I would say Myleene and me are good friends. Uma is pretty cool. She is such a regular girl. When she's getting ready she'll turn to me holding up dresses and say "Darling what should I wear?" And Kelly is just amazing. Me and her were chatting about Matthew Morrison the other day(Glee's Will Schuester)

That's her new man right!?
Well I did her make up the day she was going on a date with him! "She was saying to me "Vanessa what do you think- I'm not sure...." I told her to go for it!

Good advice cos they make a cute couple! Whats the most surreal experience you've had working with celebs?
Probably when I'm flicking through Heat magazine and I see myself in the back of paparazzi shots! The way those photographers vie for pictures is amazing. I remember doing Uma's make up for the Jonathan Ross show. When she was leaving she'd forgotten her glasses. So I told her to go to the car while I got it for her. When I got outside I tapped on her car window she opened it just a crack and all of the camera's went off I! A million flashes its crazy!

Sounds pretty surreal!
Definitely. And another surreal experience was when I did Ashtons make up. Demi was there. She is so beautiful in the flesh and so down to earth!

Anyone else you'd like to get your hands on that you haven't already?
Shakira- she's gorgeous. And Lady Gaga. I would love just working on the drama with her.

Cool! OK, so if someone has 5 minutes to get ready what would you suggest they do make-up wise?
First choose an eyeshadow, apply it with your fingers. If its a darker shade, draw it out to give the face a feline look. Use a light colour on the inner corner of your eye's to make them pop.
Put on lashings of mascara, Boots 17 Wild Curls in black looks amazing. Whip bronzer all over your face and use nude lip mirror shine (from Boots 17) to finish the look!

Sounds like 5 minute perfection! And whats the make up product you can't live without?Cream blusher. Ooh cream blusher is my best friend! It makes every girl look super cute!

Starry Eyes will be available this Autumn from Boots

A Plea to Kirsten Stewart's Stylist

Dear Stylist to Kirsten Stewart

As everyone gets ready for the movie event of the summer (Eclipse from the Twilight Saga dontcha know) The FBC is praying that you have started getting Miss Moody Pants ready too. Please, please please help end her goth obsession *shivers*, please end her addiction to clashing fabrics (she's done plaid and brocade- together *wave of nausea*), tell her to stay away from the trainers and do not let her stuff her hair into a hairband/ not run brush through it/ not give it the once over with Herbal Essences.

We love her movies, revere her acting talent and respect her ability to lock lips with R-Patz but the red carpet roadkill look has got to go. And while you're at it tell K-Stew to sort that scowl out. A little teeth on the red carpet never hurt a budding ingenue with her ascension to super movie star status.



If you think this job is above and beyond- hand her over to Rachel Zoe. She handles people like Anne Hathaway, a walking ad for Zoe-bot domination!


Or try Mariel Haenn Rihanna's stylist. Rihanna is proof that you can look young, directional and different without looking like you got dressed in the dark after skipping uni lectures to down £1 shots at the student union.

OMG! The Capital FM Summer Ball

Yesterday in a quiet corner of North West London a couple of old crooners got together to sing a few random tunes...ok thats a lie...We hit the annual Capital fm Summer Ball in Wembley Arena and the event hit us back with a bang! Despite the rain thousands of fans came out to see their favourite UK and US artists performing. Artists on the night included Usher, Cheryl Cole, Pixie Lott and Dizzee Rascal. Usher opened the show and rounded his set with an ICONIC had to be seen performance of OMG! with Will.i.am and Justin Beiber. The crowd completely lost it when the three stars performed the last verse together. Speaking before his performance Usher said it was an honour to sing on last Saturdays BGT and that if he ever did the show his talent would be a badass impersonation of Simon Cowell! When asked about Cheryl Cole/ will.i.am rumours and whether he'd given the BEP frontman mackin' advice he replied "I think he's got a handle on that..." sounds like a possible confirmation of Miss Cole and Will's dating status! Cute lil Beiber told us his hair only takes 5 mins to style....pull the other one, that 'do looks to precise to be that speedy! He also told us that he sometimes prank calls celeb friends. He once called Akon and told him he was his love child. Poor Akon must have been out of his mind!

Our fav performer on the night had to be Tinie Tempah (namely because the cute Brit MC makes us feel a bit Frisky). He talked fashion describing his style as smart, street cool and fresh, he also confirmed that he is single (woohoo) before stepping on stage to perform the no1 smash Pass Out and new track Frisky.
A lady who is definitely as excited about Tempah's single status as the FBC is Lisa Snowden. She confirmed that he is her celeb crush of the moment. Lisa co-hosted with her Capital FM partner in crime Johnny Vaughan. Johnny was cheeky as ever, revealing that he'd seen Lisa's boobs when they were changing "I can confirm that she has the best pair I’ve ever clapped eye's on" and when he took a picture with the FBC he slipped a hand on our hip and whispered in our ear "I think I've found your hot spot." Naughty boy!

Funniest moment on the night had to be when Jason Derulo couldn't take his leather jacket off on stage. Working up a sweat with those dance moves and trying to remove leather doesn't really mix!
The ball also featured a new boy band called The Wanted. Definitely ones to watch. Uber sexy. Very cheeky. Watch out JLS!! Speaking of JLS, the guys came in with kids from the Help A London Child charity. The poor little 'uns looked like they were ready to faint with excitement! Marvin talked about his missus Rochelle from The Saturdays and revealed the secret to landing such a gorgeous lady was being a gentleman. Ahhh! He also told us the pair were house hunting. Hmmm wedding belles? Beautiful JLS/ The Sats babies? Yes please!

Rihanna closed the show with a killer performance of Rude Boy and Umbrella. No one was in their seat, it was all about stomping your feet to the Bajan beauties set.

When the night ended playtime for the performers began. Many went to celeb hotspot Mahiki to get their after party on!
