Private London Concert In Memory Of Stephen Gately
November 30, 2009
A host of celebrities and fans have paid tribute to Stephen Gately, the Boyzone star who died unexpectedly at the age of 33.
Swathes of fans gathered in the rain outside a theatre in London’s West End, while musicians, actors and other celebrities congregated inside for a private intimate gig in Gately’s honour.
Organised by his partner Andrew Cowles, the gig included a performance by the remaining members of Boyzone and a poetry reading by actor Sir Ian McKellen.
Gately died of natural causes while on holiday in Majorca on October 10.
Boyzone had built up a horde of fans with chart successes through the 1990s before splitting in 2000.
Still No Venue Decided For 2012 Olympic Badminton And Gymnastics
November 28, 2009
Organisers for the London 2012 Olympics are struggling to come to an agreement with heads of both badminton and rhythmic gymnastic associations about where events will be held, with both associations reluctant to agree a move to the Wembley arena.
Central to the ongoing debate is the promise of improved access from the Olympic village to the centrepiece stadium, which many athletes don’t believe is being met. Organisers are keen to push thorugh the move in order to save on the cost of having to build and maintain a temporary venue at a projected cost of £42 million. The move would apparently save as much as £20 million.

November 28, 2009
Julie Andrews, the star of classics such as ‘Mary Poppins’ and ‘The Sound Of Music’, is set to make a return to the London stage for the first time in 30 years in May, event organisers say.
The 74-year old Oscar winner will join 5 other performers on stage to work through some of the most popular theatrical songs of the last 50 years, a set to include many songs made famous by Julie Walters herself. She will also narrate her bestselling children’s book “Simeon’s Gift”, co-written with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton.
Walter’s has built up a huge fanbase over the years, with iconic film and stage roles including My Fair Lady and Mary Poppins, for which she won an Oscar in 1965.
Sarah Harding’s Leathered in Leather
September 30, 2009
Sarah Harding won the ‘Caner of the year’ award in The Sun Newspapers Bizarre Awards last year, and lived up to her ‘get leathered’ style the other week. London Fashion Week 2009 was a fantastic success as always. And many celebs were present as always getting a glimpse of what to wear next season before all the styles get copied by the High Street. And London Fashion Week doesn’t just mean day time fun…there is also the evening to look good and hit the newspapers with your designer look and late night shenanigans.
Over the week, the mens and ladies leather jackets, dresses and the most outrageous leather above the knee boots were my personal favourite.
Sarah Harding attended 6 parties in the same night, sporting a ladies leather jacket and leather dress with high heels. Her black leather outfit and punk hairdo.
