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 [...]

Fresh Faces & Monique’s Celeb Top 5

September 21, 2012 in Celebrity, Entertainment, Film & TV

Time for the weekend friends! I don’t know about you, but I love it when Friday rolls around because I know that I have the next two days to do whatever I want and I love it. One of my guilty pleasures is catching up with celebrity gossip (and by catching up, I mean reading all of it because I “catch up” every day) and I’m sure many of you share this same little secret behaviour (or not secret in my case). So as usual, I’ve put together a few of the many big stories that have happened in Hollywood [...]

The Most Ironic Cover & Monique’s Celeb Top 5

August 17, 2012 in Celebrity, Entertainment, Film & TV

Hello my lovely readers and welcome to another edition of Monique’s Celeb Top 5. Luckily I have been on the mend so the lovely T hasn’t needed to intervene this time, but didn’t she do a great job in helping me out last week! Thanks T! It’s been a busy week as per usual in Hollywood and I was so excited about one of the top five stories, that I’ve already spoken about it this week. One of the most interesting stories this week (for me anyway) has been surrounding hair. But to start us off, I have some lovely [...]

Can We Please Let Jen Be Happy Now?

August 13, 2012 in Celebrity, Dating, Entertainment, Marriage, News, Relationships

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are engaged! So is it time to let Jen be happy and stop harping on about Brad Pitt? You can’t always believe everything you read when it comes to Hollywood gossip, otherwise Jennifer Aniston would either have a million children or would have broken the world record for longest (and least noticeable) pregnancy in the history of the universe. I generally treat any celeb news story with a grain of salt unless reps have confirmed or the celebrity themselves have announced it on their website/blog/social media platform. I am very excited to say that Jennifer [...]

Sink or Swim & Monique’s Celeb Top 5

July 20, 2012 in Books, Celebrity, Comedy, Entertainment, Film & TV

Good afternoon and welcome to the highlights edition of my Celebrity news for the week. As usual, heaps has been happening over in Hollywood this week, but the most important (well what I think is important) news has been movie related. There’s also been some tragedy as well as a little bit of a disagreement. For some more celebrity news, don’t forget to head to “the musings of monique” and check out “the low down according to mon“. Now onto the sequel news that surprised me… 1. Sink or Swim? Sequel to Finding Nemo It seems that every production company is a [...]

Women with short hair less attractive?

June 15, 2012 in Body Image, Celebrity, Entertainment, Gender, Hair, Health, News, People, Self, Style

Let me tell you something about my hair. IT DOESN’T GROW! The length it sits at now is the longest it has been in the history of my hair, which is about 5cm below my shoulders, shorter if I wear it curly as it is naturally. I marvel at it some days, as I wonder why women chop off their luscious locks when I struggle to grow my hair out at all. Which is why I was intrigued by an article which suggested that attractiveness can be measured in length. This is what Brisbane Times journalist and professional people watcher, [...]
