Monique’s Top Ten Celeb Wrap Up 2012

December 14, 2012 in Celebrity, Entertainment, Film & TV, Music

As 2012 is drawing to a close, I thought I would lead you on a trip down memory lane of the top ten biggest stories in Hollywood this year. As I’ve only been limited to ten, there are many I have had to leave out (such as Disney buying Star Wars which, lets face it, was HUGE). It’s been absolutely fantastic sharing these Friday afternoons with you all and I hope you have enjoyed them as much as I have. Due to technical difficulties, I haven’t been able to do a top 5 for the week, but I do have [...]

Royal Pregnancy & Monique’s Celeb Top 5

December 7, 2012 in Celebrity, Comedy, Entertainment, Film & TV

Hello my lovely readers and welcome to another of my celebrity news wrap-ups. Obviously the biggest story of the week is the Royal pregnancy and while we all know about the prank phone call, I’ve only included the links to it as I think there were more pressing parts to the story. I will say it was poor form of the hosts, but as if they would have expected to get through so easily! I’m actually shocked at how little security there was surrounding one of the most high profile people in the UK. Anyway, lots of other things have [...]

What’s So Special about Duchess Catherine’s Breasts?

September 20, 2012 in Body Image, Celebrity, Current Affairs, Entertainment, Gender, Health, News, Politics

When you type “Kate Middleton” into Google these days, the top three suggestions are ‘kate middleton photos’, ‘kate middleton pregnant’ and ‘kate middleton closer photos’. It appears that most people want to see the photos that have caused a huge fuss, you know the ones, the topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge that were published by French magazine, Closer. But not me. Shocking, I know considering I am enamoured with Catherine and some may say I have double standards because I had absolutely no issue in publishing the naked photos of Prince Harry but I will not do the [...]

The Royals, The Olympics, And Australia

August 6, 2012 in Celebrity, Current Affairs, Politics

We’ve all seen those lovely photos of Wills and Kate at the Olympic Cycling. Look at them…they are so happy and excited. It’s lovely to see two young and attractive people – still newly-weds and clearly in love – having such a wonderful time at the Olympics. Jumping up and down, getting excited, having fun. The future King and Queen of Australia, proudly wearing the Union Jack and not being shy about being one-eyed supporters of Great Britain. Hang on…wait a minute…something’s not right here. This is our Royal Family too! Why aren’t they out there supporting our team? Why aren’t they also supporting Canada and [...]

Kate & Wills Honeymoon Pics: A Step Too Far?

July 10, 2012 in Celebrity, Entertainment, Marriage, News, People

How many of you watched the wedding of HRH Prince William and (then) Catherine Middleton in April 2011? Go on, hands up? Heaps of you. How many of you saw honeymoon pics? Hands down. None of you did because the press were politely told to leave them alone. The press seemed to surprisingly agree.  However, 15 months later, the gloves are off and pictures of Wills & Kate on their honeymoon are being published this week. In their togs, on a private beach, on a seemingly private island. Not sure how many of you are into Woman’s Day or New [...]

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee

June 4, 2012 in Celebrity, Current Affairs, Entertainment, News, Politics

Over the weekend the Queen kicked off her Diamond Jubilee celebrations with a 100 boat river pageant on the river Thames. She is one of only two British monarchs to celebrate their Diamond Jubilee (the other was Queen Victoria in 1897) and she celebrated it with the style and grace we have come to associate with the Queen. How could I resist writing about this? Everyone loves a bit of pomp and ceremony! It’s like another world watching them. Can you imagine being a royal? It’s your life, it’s your blood, it’s your job. Talk about working 24/7! The Queen [...]
