Kate Moss was recently seen making a very personal purchase at La Petite Coquette on University Place. Moss bought a limited-edition, Jimmyjane "Little Something" vibrator in 24K gold for $350. The buzz-worthy bauble comes inscribed with choice of endearment ("Sugar," "Be Mine," "Sweetie" or "Flirt") and is guaranteed not to get you in trouble with the law. Staying away from the boys for the time being or just a smokescreen to avoid Mr Pete? Oh heck. Most probably killing two birds with one gold.

Been hooked on The Rifles incredible track 'Repeated Offender' [audio / video]. Can play this for hours and will not be bored. Influence of The Coral, The Zutons, Ordinary Boys can be heard by this promising new band.

While the controversy continues to rage over the casting of Daniel Craig as the Bond replacement for Pierce Brosnan, this hunk has thrown in an interesting comment regarding the recent story that his 22-year-old son Sean might one day play 007. Sean has recently embarked on his own movie career and said that he would "jump at the chance to play the secret agent." Dad, on the other hand, said he hoped that wasn't true. On Craig, Brosnan Senior added: "It's hardly likely that I'll go and watch him!" Look at the vast difference between Sean & Daniel. Who has the better superspy aura?

























Charlize Theron has fired back at weekend reports she has split from boyfriend Stuart Townsend, insisting the pair are still together. Her publicist, Amanda Silverman, has released a statement saying: "Stuart and Charlize have not broken up." Hmmm..fair enough. She added: "Next week everyone will be calling me saying they were married. We can't win." Live with it. The eagles are forever circling..

Lindsay Lohan and several other Hollywood stars that are underage used to be able to get into LA clubs on their star power and party the night away even though they were underage. With the 'fast' technology - probably the authorities have started reading the tabloids recently - LA Bars Cracked Down! There was a crackdown of sorts as law enforcement officials reminded the trendy nightspots that they could lose their liquor licenses for such violations even if the teen drinkers are Hollywood stars. What do Lindsay have to say about this? "It sucks."

Here she is out and about in NYC

Final 3! Nicole & Bre were jumping up and down on the bed celebrating their triumph in coming this far. Bre said she made ANTM history by being in the bottom two 4 times before. Nik said she was told she was a dud and need to show more personality if she wants to go far. Bre said Tyra told her there is something special about her... "and there is." Yadda yadda. Nicole said she is cut out for this kind of career and she claimed she's gonna win! Next day, they went for a COVER girl advert photoshoot. First was a group shoot with 2 male models all laughing and having a good time. Second was group in front of a car looking around happily..body faced to the back..then turned around saying the word 'Covergirl!'. All were made to memorize about 6-8 lines for the advert. Bre fumbled...Nik who has been studiously repeating every line did it very well with the studio audience clapping. Nicole fumbled and froze...not confident. She blamed it on the bright lights... Jay has to repeat the lines to her...Not good. Then next was a smiling solo photoshoot. Next day...judging time. One will go home. Nik said the judges kept Bre some reason..Nicole nervous about her chances. The judges first got to see the completed advert for the Covergirl TruBlend . All were impressed with it. Next was their solo commercial ad. Bre & Nicole disappointed the judges. Nik was praised for her good memory and delivery of the words. Next was their solo photoshot. Nik & Nicole nailed it well for the judges. Bre looked good. Judges had to choose between Bre who made a lot of progress or Nik who sometimes lacked personality or Nicole who may be a bit too young... First name called is.. Nik! Not surprising of course. Nicole & Bre left...girl to join Nik will be...NICOLE! Woooooooo. Bre goes home. She shouldn't be in there anyway as Jayla got robbed of final three. Nicole put on some fake plastic clown specs + nose and was dancing like a small girl on the table urging Nik to join her in the celebration but Nik was not moving at all..just laying back on the couch maybe thinking about herself being in the final two. Next day, photoshoot with Tyra taken by some oldie famous photographer. This guy repeated the words "I'm touchin' the winner." tapping the faces of Nicole & Nik at their individual shoots. Nik was saying "Why is he calling Nicole a winner?"...and Nicole had the same reactions during Nik's turn. Aahaha...
Next day, runway catwalk with EVA & NAIMA. Eva had this strong confident supermodel aura while Naima looked fantastic as usual. Last chance for Nik & Nicole to prove they are worth winning the competition. Both Nicole & Nik struted like some veteran who has done it all before. Pleasantly shocked at how Nicole showed her 'matured & strong' side. Brilliantly done. Jay Manuel personally complimented both of them with congratulatory hugs. Both felt that they have a good chance of winning. Judging time - i think it was right after the catwalk. They were told to reveal their feelings about what they are thinking about at the point of being chosen the next ANTM. Both had mutual respect for each other. They were shown their photoshoot from the start...super-heroes to country-shot to 60s-cabaret look-with-car to shouting-with 3 mtv guys-shot and finally the 'vaseline black n white' shot outside the house. They were then shown the catwalk video shoot. Nik looked a little bit too 'bouncy' with her walk, whereas Nicole's hand swaying could be better. Overall, they looked stunning. Judges then were left to discuss who they will have to choose. They think Nicole can handle the pressure from the modelling world better than Nik. Tyra asked each to point the pic on the table whom they want to win...smart move from the camera point of view. Finally the person who is going to be the next ANTM...shown on the big tv screen on their left..is...NICOLE!!!! Woo hoooooooooo!!!! Reunion show next week. Cool.

The Vines story:
Two years ago, the band hailed as Australia's Strokes went into meltdown. Even industrial quantities of dope couldn't explain frontman Craig Nicholls's erratic and violent behaviour. Then a diagnosis of Asperger's put the singer on the road to...[more] ps: There is a young 'monkey' man who learnt a lot from Craig's onstage presence on his first concert trip in 2002..

Kimberly Walsh has lashed out at Westlife. Kimba called them boring and reckons that their pop star days are nearly over. Both pop groups recently came back from Australia from their promo tours, and they weren't too fond of each other either. There was a lot of tension as to who was the most popular group with the Aussie's. Kimba said: "Westlife wish they stole our thunder. It's not like that's ever gonna happen. I'm not being funny but they're so boring aren't they?" Sad to say, she is right. "They're just four dull men now. I don't think people are interested in what they're doing in their evenings when they're sat in with their wives do you?" G.A first arena tour will be in May..looks like Westlife won't be joining them. The girls are really looking forward to it and said: "Obviously there's only so much the budget can allow, but it will definitely be bigger and better that the last one. I'd like to think some flying might be involved, using wires on stage." Hmmm....

Johnny Rotten looks like he's not done with his views about Green Day. The singer believes that GD wouldn't have had a leg to stand on in the punk heyday and that they have since nicked punk's ideas. He said: "They're sticky tape on a duck's arse. They wouldn't have survived it. We had to earn our wings. We made it easy for them to come in and nick things from us. Silly fat kids. It was hard times we went through for them to come and pinch our ideas." What's with these history lessons? Comparing GD with the pistols is like saying blunt-y is better than Tom Jones.

Thom Yorke has revealed that Radiohead are struggling with the recording of their new album. Posting on the Dead Air Space section of the band's official website, Yorke wrote that he was "unsure about everything" and that it was "very frustrating". The full post says: "Today, myself, I was struggling, feels like we've been trapped for a long time. In la la land. Very frustrating, and under pressure now, it's so slow. Enough to drive anyone loopy. I'm supposed to be positive. Smiling faces for the outside. Well I'm fucking tearing my hair out. Too much at once. Furiously writing, working out parts. Cracking up. Not much time left. Unsure about everything. I'm not supposed to put any of this here. So that's why I am." What do I think of this little problem? Err...need karma police help as fake plastic trees with iron lung where 2+2=5 knives out just no surprises where bluebirds fly with airbag let down true love waits or maybe bulletproof street spirit. Ok done.
