Katy Perry ‘Bolted’ Out of Nightclub to Avoid Russell
Katy Perry "bolted" out of a London nightclub when she heard Russell Brand was about to arrive.
The "Part of Me" singer was enjoying an evening at Mayfair hangout Mahiki in a private room, but when someone told her Russell - who split from Katy after 14 months of marriage in December 2011 - was on her way, she quickly left so as to avoid an "awkward run-in."
"She wanted to spend the night singing in the room as it's where her best friend Rihanna normally comes to play when she's in town. Katy was having a great night but bolted out of the door when one of her sidekicks stunned her by telling her Russ was about to turn up. Rather than risk an awkward run-in, Katy didn't take any chances and ordered everyone to move on to a club in Chelsea instead," a source said.
However, the 27-year-old pop beauty needn't have worried as Russell was in the US, where he is facing legal woes after he threw a photographer's iPhone into an office window in New Orleans, where he is filming a new movie.

Kanye West Upsets Royal Family
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Parties,
Kanye West has upset Britain's royal family.
The rapper was reportedly the subject of a number of complaints from unspecified members of the monarchy who were infuriated by the star playing his music too loudly in his $4,300-a-night suite at London's Lanesborough Hotel - which is near Buckingham Palace - where he has been living with members of his entourage including Common, Pusha T and Big Sean.
"We went to London and we were right next to the Buckingham Palace and the royal family. There were members of the royal family staying below us. Kanye had rented out the top floor and we was banging that b***h out. Every room was a studio. The royal family below were complaining like, 'We got all this loud-ass rap music above us and weed smoke.' They paid all this money and you don't expect to get these kind of complaints," Kanye's protégé Big Sean told The Sun.
Despite the complaints, Kanye hasn't spent all his time in the hotel. Last month, he joined in the Jack the Ripper tour, which takes place in London's East End area and retraces the footsteps of the notorious and still unidentified serial killer from the late 1800s.

The “Halo” singer opened the door of her Mercedes after deciding to pop into top store Harrods en route to a restaurant in the UK capital’s Knightsbridge area. Shoppers looked on in horror as the taxi collided with the car’s door, ripping it off its hinges and missing Beyonce by just a matter of centimetres.
The pop star, who was traveling with her husband Jay-Z, looked visibly shaken after the incident.
“It was terrifying to watch. It all happened so quickly, the taxi came out of nowhere. She seemed very shaken and was lucky to be alive. A couple of seconds difference and God knows what could have happened,” a source told The Sun.
Beyonce, 28, and Jay-Z, 40, were on their way to a romantic meal at Japanese eatery Zuma when the singer decided to make her impromptu stop. After the accident, the couple were forced to dump the damaged car - and were sent a replacement to take them to the restaurant.

Embarrassing Outfit of the Day: Geri Halliwell
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Fashion Police, Red Carpet,
Geri Halliwell brought her own kind of spice to the 2008 BAFTA Children’s Awards in London last night.
Despite a seemingly flawless appearance from the front, Halliwell’s ensemble had one major issues in back. Her dress + wind = revealing red carpet number.
Granted - had she been wearing underwear, we wouldn’t be commenting on her exposed skin. But then we’d probably be criticizing her for pulling a Gwyneth Paltrow.
Argggh. Why don’t men ever have these wardrobe issues?

Quickie Divorce for Madonna and Guy Ritchie
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce,
What took 7 1/2 years to build ended in less than a minute.
Earlier today in a London court, a judge granted Madonna and Guy Ritchie a preliminary divorce decree. Assuming no issues come up, their marriage will officially be over in six weeks and a day.
This morning’s proceeding - which was not attended by either by either party or their lawyers - lasted approximately 54 seconds. Their case was sixth on a list that included 16 other couples.
According to the petition filed by Madonna, “unreasonable behavior” was cited as the reason for divorce. According to the Daily Telegraph, that is an option often used for “quickie” resolutions. The alternatives for divorce are “adultery, a five-year separation or for one partner to have deserted the other for at least two years.”
Although Guy could have walked away with a substantial portion of his ex’s fortune, the director has reportedly decided to settle for their estate in Wiltshire and a pub they own in the Mayfair area.

Britney Spears: Drama Queen?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Rumors,
The appearance of pop princess Britney Spears on CBS helped boost show ratings and created buzz for weeks, lighting the Internet aflame. Is it possible that Ms. Spears could light the London stage on fire as well?
In what is truly one of the more disturbing pieces of news I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading, I have learned there are rumors Brit may be up for the role of - get this - Blanche DuBois in a theatrical production of “A Streetcar Named Desire.” The role was made famous by Vivien Leigh (perhaps better known as Scarlett O’Hara), winning her an Oscar for the film version of the Tennessee Williams play (starring a then-unknown Marlon Brando).
Okay. Britney Spears is southern and more than a little tragic - a clear enough parallel to Blanche DuBois. However, Spears is much too young for the role and has never proven herself as anything like a dramatic actress. The tragedy of DuBois would undoubtedly be overshadowed by the tragedy of Britney if she really did play the role, and the alcoholic actions of Blanche may hit too close to Britney’s home for British fans to remain comfortable. Besides all of that, it’s a completely ludicrous idea.

The former Beatle and his ex left the High Court in London today after a financial agreement was finally ironed out in their bitter divorce. Although it was originally reported that Mills would receive somewhere in the neighborhood of $110 million, she came away with much less. Including assets she already owned, the 40-year-old will take away approximately $50 million dollars from the marriage. (That’s approximately $12.5 million for each year they were together.)
You can view her response to the settlement below:
Daddy will also give be giving their 4-year-old daughter, Beatrice, approximately $70,000 per year for her expenses.
