• Ron Burgundy Is Back And It's Kind Of A Big Deal

  

  Have you seen the film Anchorman? If so I imagine you laughed a lot and then spent the next few days, weeks, months (or in my case years) reciting the best lines to anyone who would listen. Well, good news – after an eight year break America’s favourite news anchor has announced he is to make another film. Another Anchorman film? I hear you cry. Yes, pinch yourself, watch the first one again...  View This »

  
  

• Why James Middleton is less famous than his sister

  

  There was a three or four month window last year when sticking the name 'Pippa Middleton' into any press release seemed guaranteed to make it stick. Hence the papers were filled with stories about ‘Her Royal Hotness’, much of which was simply PR fluff and an excuse to re-print those photos of her bum.   But despite the newly found global fame of both his sisters, the youngest Middleton...  View This »

  
  

• Celebrity Endorsement Doesn't Have To Cost A Penny

  

  Everyone knows the power of a celebrity endorsement. But that’s not an avenue that’s available to everyone. Or is it? Many brands assume that hiring a celeb to endorse their products is going to set them back thousands of pounds. But that doesn’t stop the most creative small brands from having a bite of the celebrity pie without forking out so much as a penny. An example that caught my eye...  View This »

• 'The Situation' Fights Back

  

  A few weeks ago we covered an excellent stunt by Abercrombie & Fitch, who told the world they had paid Jersey Shore star Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino to NOT wear their clothes. It was a shrewd move to create a buzz around their label and also helped them to distance themselves from the show’s trashy appeal. It seems however that the PR stunt may have backfired with Mr Sorrentino set to...  View This »

  
  

• The Harper Beckham Show

  

  New York Fashion Week is now well underway and the acclaimed fashion designer Victoria Beckham has shown her latest collection. But, it isn’t the show or the former Posh spice who’s making the headlines. It’s the latest addition to the famous family who’s taking the column inches and becoming the talk of the town. That’s right, Harper Seven is in New York for Fashion Week and the press...  View This »

  
  

• Barneys Go Gaga For Christmas Workshop

  

  Lady Gaga is one of those celebrities that you can’t help but be interested by. The uniquely styled pop sensation is always making the news in one way or another, whether it’s for her kooky clothing or notorious music videos.   This time Lady Gaga seems to have taken inspiration from the Grinch – she’s taking over Christmas.   Not in the Dr Seuss style present thieving way, of course. For...  View This »

  
  

• Jorgie Porter Shines Light On Effects Of Excess Sun Exposure

  

  Hollyoaks beauty Jorgie Porter has made quite a stir with her latest modelling campaign. The attractive blonde has donned a bikini to make a stand for an important cause –  the Teenage Cancer Trust’s sun safety crusade. Despite her character in the show sporting a perma-tan look, Jorgie is happy to admit that her tan comes from a bottle rather than through excess sun exposure, and is...  View This »

  
  

• Carol Vorderman - The Celebrity Effect

  

  A new report commissioned by David Cameron and education secretary Michael Grove has been released recommending that schools should be teaching their students maths until the age of 18. It’s not exactly the most attention-grabbing story in the papers and in all honestly I would probably just glance over – if it weren’t for the fact that the report was led by maths master Carol Vorderman. She...  View This »

  
  

• Duncan Bannatyne tweet shows the ugly side of twitter

  

  As a parent I completely understand Duncan Bannatyne's reaction when he received tweets from a blackmailer demanding £35,000 not to harm his daughter Hollie. Apparently the multi-millionaire Dragon's Den star received menacing threats from someone using the twitter account @YuriVasilyev. Understandably the Dragon was enraged and yesterday he fired off a tweet offering a “£25,000 reward for...  View This »
