"Clag, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings
From the moment i saw him i fell"


Last night i went to see Rufus Wainwright at the London Palladium recreating Judy Garland's 1961 Carnegie Hall concert. It was sooo good! He was joined on stage by a full orchestra along with Judy Garland's daughter Lorna Luft, Rufus' sister Martha Wainwright (whose version of "Stormy Weather" blew the roof off!) and Rufus' mother Kate McGarrigle who played piano as Rufus sang "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". Tickets for this show were pretty expensive but it was worth every penny. Last night's show was being filmed for TV Broadcast and DVD release so keep your eyes peeled!


Also had a lovely evening with my friend Dan, We went to a dim sum restaurant in the West End and i discovered that i am retarded when it comes to eating with chopsticks, i dont think you are supposed to use them to stab the food and haul the whole thing in your mouth but thats what i did - not pretty!


Last night after Rufus we went onto Ghetto in Soho for their "Detox" night which was great fun and then met some lovely people and headed to a night called "Orange" at "Fire" in Vauxhall - very sweaty night indeed but lots of fun, Staying their til 8 am probably wasn't the best idea!! So as you may have guessed we didnt find anywhere to watch the Oscars ceremony. I can't say i am too happy about that. That's all!

I can't use missing the Oscars as an excuse for not commenting on some of the fashion highs and lows so here goes. I thought Cate Blanchett looked stunning, her figure is amazing and she always looks fabulous!



Reese Witherspoon seems to be coping well after splitting with her fit hubbie Ryan Phillippe. Great Colour!



Jodie Foster was most surprising! Who knew that she owned a dress or could walk in heels!!


Our gracious leader was also in attendance at the Vanity Fair party and looked ravishing!!





Not sure what was going on with Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman. Bad colours and chunky ugly accessories!

I have been reading reviews of last night's ceremony and am glad to hear that Ellen Degeneres did a great job of hosting. Had to include a pic of Ellen and her gorgeous partner Portia De Rossi, One of the best looking couples in Hollywood!



Well that's the Oscars done for another year! Great to see such deserving winners in all the major categories - especially Martin Scorcese, His genius has finally been recognised - better late than never!

I spent saturday night with a rather lovely man, having great conversation, lots of alcohol and laughter. Definitely a promising and smiley development for 2007!
