COURTNEY LOVE MIGHT NEVER BE THE SAME

Is the Courtney Love we once knew, gone forever? Back in the fall of 2019, Courtney moved to London where she planned to write a book and work on a new album. Shortly after, the covid pandemic struck and she has been there ever since. Apparently she has adjusted to the British life so well that she has no plans to leave. Courtney turned up at the Cheltenham Festival on opening day with a whole new look. The festival is described as a posh horse racing occasion and attendees are expected to dress appropriately. Ladies are advised to wear “smart country fashions” in tweed or suede, and quality boots – no high heels, a stylish hat, and matching gloves. Yes, that is OUR former grunge girl in a BEIGE gabardine vest and trousers with matching kid gloves. We’re not sure if the guy is a friend or boyfriend. Stay tuned…

IT’S ALWAYS “FASHION WEEK” IN LONDON

Fashion Week London ended over a week ago, but that doesn’t mean the city’s inhabitants lack inspiration.This photo of a woman walking her nicely dressed dog on Bond Street was taken today and we were happy to see that London street style is still alive and flourishing…

Fashion Justin Bieber London

JUSTIN BIEBER ALMOST LOOKS GREAT, BUT NOT QUITE

Justin Bieber is in style-conscious London and he’s trying to fit in! Usually we rate Justin as one of the worst-dressed people in Hollywood and it’s especially grating because he has his own fashion company, Drew. Yesterday Justin and his wife Hayley evidently went shopping in London and he bought this cool looking plaid suit. Since he and Hayley were seeing The Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House that night, maybe he decided to actually dress up and ditch the usual shorts and hoody. Too bad he loused up the look with that awful hat and shoes, but at least he made an effort.

BARBRA STREISAND: THE WAY SHE WAS

How cute is this vintage photo that Barbra Streisand posted on Instagram? We love the look on her face- she was filming On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (1970)in London and having the time of her life. The movie wasn’t a huge hit, and she was criticized for her thick New York accent, but eventually it grew to be appreciated…

Art Banksy Subway

BANKSY ART SCRUBBED OFF OF LONDON SUBWAY TRAIN

Little did the people in charge of sanitizing the interior of London subways realize that they washed away some valuable and heartfelt Banksy art. The art piece was titled If You Don’t Mask, You Don’t Get, and by the time Banksy unveiled the art on his Instagram account, it had already been scrubbed off by cleaning crews. It was treated like any other subway graffiti, but it DID illustrate that the cleaners did a thorough job. The transport company invited Banksy to do a new version of his message “in a suitable location.” Of course, the whole thing could have been another Banksy prank, and he KNEW this would happen…

Bruce Willis M. Night Shyamalan

BRUCE WILLIS: THE BEAT GOES ON

Bruce Willis is in London to promote his new M Night Shyamalan film Glass, and it looks like anything but work. A few days ago he was seen being helped OUT of Annabel’s private club. He’s pictured here on his way IN to the Glass after-party and we wonder what he’s looking at. We’re guessing his wife Emma is back home with the kids and Bruce is on his own – perhaps making a few bad decisions…

London Subway Underwear

TODAY WAS “NO PANTS ON THE SUBWAY” DAY IN LONDON

The 9th Annual No Pants Subway Ride in London commenced today and fortunately it was organized. 400 participants rode pantless in groups of around 20 people back and forth on the subway Sunday afternoon. They all agreed to wear non-offensive underwear. Amazing, since the temperature was below zero! The idea originated with a prank in New York in 2002, and spread to other countries, but London seemed to love the idea most of all. That woman in front of the top photo looks like SHE doesn’t see the humor in it.

Blame Lindsay Lohan London

LINDSAY LOHAN: SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

It’s only been a matter of DAYS since Lindsay Lohan credited her cleaned-up lifestyle to the fact that she has moved to London. Lindsay says the paparazzi don’t harass her there and the news is less gossipy. (The fact that she might not be as well known in the UK might not have occurred to her.) And she blames the lure of the clubs in New York and Los Angeles for giving her a bad reputation so she plans to stay in London where she has ”grown up.” One thing she hasn’t outgrown is falling down the stairs when she’s leaving an establishment late at night. Above, she was rescued yet again when she stumbled out of a restaurant there.

Beyoncé Hair! Jay Z London Wig

BEYONCE: NOT ALL WIGS ARE CREATED EQUAL

Beyonce and Jay-Z just arrived in London from Paris and they couldn’t wait to hit some night spots such as The Arts Club. Beyonce rocked a new wig with Bettie Page bangs, but it just doesn’t work. Too stringy and bushy, and the bangs are way too short. It simply doesn’t look real. Which is a good thing, because if her real hair was cut this way it would take a long time to repair. In spite of the dubious wig, the pair had an affectionate evening.

Fashion Fashion Week London

LONDON FASHION: JUST LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Fashion Week in London rarely disappoints – and this year looks to be particularly inspiring. Remember before chain stores dominated the world and little shops made outrageous one of a kind items back in the 60’s in London? Some of the current designers seem to be yearning for those days because they are presenting some very eccentric ideas. Above left, Nasir Mazhar, whose name is all over his designs, like Calvin Klein underwear, and right, Sister by Sibling had their model take off her high heels mid-catwalk.
