2067-a.jpgfarrah.jpg

What a sad week it's been in Hollywood with the premature deaths of both Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.

 

I'm not of the right generation to appreciate the contemporary impact of Farrah's rise to fame in Charlie's Angel's, but her sun-kissed looks and inimitable seventies style have certainly lived on in the decades since. I will probably remember Farrah most for her enduring love affair with Ryan O'Neal. Their relationship very nearly culminated in a wedding at her deathbed, which is truly one of the most romantic gestures I have heard of in recent memory.

 

As for Michael Jackson, what more can be said. The world is still in mourning for the complicated performer, who was without doubt one of the most iconic talents of my generation. No matter whether you viewed him as a wonder or weirdo, few can doubt Michael's amazing contribution to popular music and culture throughout his whole life. I've been a massive Michael Jackson fan since childhood, and like so many people around the world find his passing unbearably sad.

 

Unfortunately it appears the speculation that surrounded Michael in life will continue after death, as the legal wrangling over custody of his children and his estate looks set to begin. My only hope is that, despite all the ordeals he went through, that Michael was able to enjoy some peace in his life for the few quiet years he had before he died.

Gisele.jpgIt's happy news for Gisele and her new hubby Tom Brady with reports they have a baby on the way. There's no doubt that the genetically blessed tot will want for nothing in the looks department, what with a supermodel mum and a handsome sports hero for a dad. I mean, are these two just the real life embodiment of Barbie and Ken or what!?

Little is known of Tom Brady outside of the US (and American football supporter circles), however I think virtually everyone the world over is aware of the international modeling powerhouse that is Gisele. She's probably the world's highest profile model, and has amassed a fortune of several millions during her reign on the catwalks.

 

But I think where Gisele has really proven her metal (and her maternal credentials) is with Tom's young son John, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan (the perfect Natasha from Sex and the City).  Imagine starting out a new relationship with a potential 'Mr Right', only to have his ex-girlfriend announcing in the press that she's pregnant with your boyfriend's child? Hardly the ideal footing to start a relationship, and many a person would not have stuck around to deal with the potentially ugly aftermath of a break up with a pregnancy involved.

 

However, to her credit, Gisele trooped through the crisis, and has accepted little John and treats him if he were her own. Naturally, accepting your husband's child in these circumstances would be difficult for anybody. Delta Goodrem recently spoke about her initial difficulty in accepting Brian McFadden's daughters from his marriage to Kerry Katona and becoming and instant mum, for example. So Gisele's ability to rise above any acrimony and become a loving stepmum is a real testament to her, and has enabled her to demonstrate what a great mother she will be to her own bub.

Geri.jpg Isn't Geri Halliwell looking fit and fabulous?! After a stylish appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix where she hobnobbed with fellow glitterati, she's now enjoying the Mediterranean sun in Sardinia. With her throughout was her handsome new beau, Henry Beckwith (cousin of Tamara). He's young (seven years Geri's junior at 29), good looking, and well connected... basically, a catch!

The loved-up pair have been snapped in a variety of clinches recently, and seem to be having a ball on the party circuit. This may signal an end to the period of patchy relationships Geri has endured, including a broken engagement earlier this year. Although it's clear she's adored being a single mum to her cutie daughter Bluebell, the look on Geri's face in these shots shows just how much she's enjoying the first flush of new love again.

 

I've always had a soft spot for Geri for all her outspokenness and humour, and can only hope this relationship will end in a celebrity wedding with all the trimmings.
