AMY WINEHOUSE’S SKIN SAVIOUR

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Amy Winehouse has been offered a cure for her bad skin by a TV nutritional expert.

“You Are What You Eat” star Gillian McKeith insists Amy’s complexion would clear up if the singer - who is said to be suffering from the contagious skin disease impetigo and also has bad acne - takes her diet advice.

Gillian told British radio station Heart FM: “I would love to meet Amy one day and she could probably benefit a great deal from just hearing some of my advice. Her acne could easily be cleared up quickly without a doubt.”

“It is all about good food, rebalancing her body and exercise. Her music is fantastic but she just has to get everything else sorted out and it will all fall into place.”

It was recently reported “Rehab” singer Amy was told her facial scabs would scar her for life if she didn’t stop taking drugs.

She was overheard saying at a party: “I’ve been told I’ll lose my looks over this - but I can’t give it up! I’m told my scars might never heal. My dermatologist says it’s a result of the drugs and it could spread to other parts of my body if I don’t quit.”

Gillian McKeith has found fame with her book and UK TV series “You Are What You Eat,” which sees obese and ill people adopt healthier lifestyles.

She is famous for analyzing people’s feces to get a better idea of how their diet is affecting their body.

MCGREGOR REVEALS CANCER SCARE

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Ewan McGregor has revealed he had skin cancer.

The “Moulin Rouge” star insists he is “fine” after having several cancerous moles removed from just below his right eye.

Ewan decided it was “best to be looked at” by doctors after realizing his pale skin meant he was at a greater risk of developing the potentially fatal disease.

The 37-year-old actor explained to the BBC: “I just went to have them checked, you have to be careful if you’re pale skinned and you spend time in the sun, with moles.”

“I went to see a specialist who thought they were better to be removed, and indeed he was correct. The surgery was not that big of a deal.”

When asked if he found the experience frightening, he replied sarcastically: “It was great fun having skin cancer, it was great, I really enjoyed it!”

Ewan married French production designer Eve Mavrakis in 1995.

The couple have two daughters, six-year-old Esther Rose and two-year-old Clara Mathilde.

They also have an adopted four-year-old daughter Jamiyan, who they brought to the UK from Mongolia in 2006.

Ewan is currently starring in thriller “Deception” alongside Michelle Williams and Hugh Jackman.

LILY ALLEN’S TV SHOW WEIGHT

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Lily Allen says her TV talk show is making her gain weight.

The “Smile” singer said the stress of her BBC Three late night series - which was recently commissioned for a second season despite poor reviews and ratings - is playing havoc with her diet and exercise regime.

She told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “I don’t look great at all. I’ve put on so much weight with all the stress of my TV show. I’m glad it’s over.”

“Now the show is over I am sure I will lose some weight, just naturally as well as exercising in the gym twice a week. I hate fat tummies so I hope it goes by summer.”

Last year, Lily, 22, lost a massive 19lbs after being told she suffers from a heart murmur.

She said at the time: “I used to love nothing more than sitting in front of the telly with two packets of Ginger Nuts and two bags of milk bottle sweets - and I’d devour the lot.”

“But this heart thing has made me cut back on all that kind of rubbish. I now find that, because I am looking after myself, I don’t feel like eating the bad stuff so much.”

RADCLIFFE’S SEARCH FOR A MYSTERY GIRL

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Daniel Radcliffe’s search for a mystery girl has produced two women.

The “Harry Potter” star - who was devastated when he failed to track down a stunning stranger at an Australian Film Institute event - has been left puzzled after two Australian women have come forward claiming to have caught the actor’s eye.

Blonde trumpet player Cassi McKay, 20, says she is the mystery girl, but has ruled herself out of romancing Daniel because she is already in a relationship.

Cassi said: “He was looking at me a bit, and I guess I was batting my eyelids back. We said hello and had a quick chat. I’ve told my boyfriend about him and I’d be keen to meet up when I am in London.”

However, saxophonist Savannah Blount, 23, says she was charmed by Daniel and would be happy to see him again.

She said: “He was quite lovely. He was very charming, very polite. Maybe if I was working in the UK or touring, you never know. He was handsome - and very short. I’m more for the taller type of guy.”

“I’ve got a lovely boyfriend who is quite concerned - no, he thinks it’s funny.”

Daniel, 18, admitted he was bowled over by a girl at the event and confessed he was determined to find her.

He said: “There was one girl. Oh my God, she had these eyes that just looked at me like she wanted to pounce on me. She stared at me the whole night and I was going to get her number and then I couldn’t find her.”

“I must have walked around that party for an hour trying to look for this girl. I don’t know her name, but she was stunning.”

EMMA WATSON’S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Emma Watson partied until the early hours of Sunday morning (April 20, 2008) to celebrate her 18th birthday.

The “Harry Potter” star was joined by friends and family at Mayfair’s Automat Club and Restaurant, in London, where she was showered with gifts.

Emma – who has starred as Hermione Granger in five “Harry Potter” movies since 2001 – looked stunning in a strapless black mini-dress.

Guests at the party included Tom Felton, who stars as the villainous Draco Malfoy in the “Harry Potter” movies, Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna Lovegood, and Katie Leung, who portrays Harry’s love interest Cho Chang.

Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, who play Harry and his close friend Ron Weasley respectively, were not able to attend.

When Emma turned 18 last week she gained access to the $21 million fortune she has earned from the “Harry Potter” films.

She is rumored to be earning $5 million to appear in sixth film “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”

Her fee was increased by studio bosses after she threatened to pull out of the lucrative franchise to attend university.
